Daohua walked over to Dong Yuanyao with a look of astonishment, “You couldn’t have sneaked out, could you?”

Dong Yuanyao gave her a ‘you’re still asking?’ look: “Isn’t this to see you?”

Daohua: “…If your mother finds out about this, she’s going to punish you again.”

Dong Yuanyao laughed: “No, she won’t. These days, no, actually, for the past month or two, my mother has been so busy she hasn’t had time to pay attention to me.”

Daohua asked curiously: “What is your mother busy with?”

Dong Yuanyao: “Obviously, she’s busy with my brother’s marriage. Think about it, even your older brother, who’s younger than mine, is engaged now. My mother must be in a hurry, right?”

Daohua: “Aren’t you going back to Beijing to find a bride?”

Dong Yuanyao: “My grandmother said that taking a wife means someone else’s daughter is joining our family; it doesn’t have to be someone from Beijing. If there’s a suitable match, we can consider it. Once my mother mentioned it, our house hasn’t had a single day of quiet since this New Year.”

Daohua laughed: “You’re going to have a sister-in-law, aren’t you happy?”

Dong Yuanyao sighed: “What’s there to be happy about? My brother is going to belong to another girl. I don’t think it’s something to be excited about.”

Daohua tapped Dong Yuanyao on the head: “You, always getting jealous for nothing. Why don’t you think that having a sister-in-law means one more person to care for you?” _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Dong Yuanyao rolled her eyes: “Do you think I’m Jingwan? I don’t expect my future sister-in-law to dote on me or anything. I just hope she’s good to my brother, respectful to my parents, and not a home-wrecker — that’s enough for me.”

Daohua looped her arm through Dong Yuanyao’s: “You have to trust your grandmother and mother’s judgment. If you’re really worried, just have someone investigate the candidate in secret. That’s what I did.”

Dong Yuanyao nodded: “That’s the only way, then.”

Daohua smiled: “Come on, stop thinking about these unhappy things. Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to my two cousins.”

Dong Yuanyao shook her head: “Dressed like this, I’d better not.” She then grabbed Daohua’s hand, “Accompany me to go shopping instead. I’ve been cooped up at home for so long, I’m going stir-crazy.”

“This…” Daohua hesitated.

Dong Yuanyao shook Daohua’s arm: “It won’t take too long.”

Daohua pondered for a moment: “Then wait for me a moment, I’ll go and let my mother know.”

Dong Yuanyao smiled: “Alright.”

…

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace.

Having read the secret letter sent back by Xiao Yeyang, the Emperor couldn’t help but laugh loudly several times, repeating the word ‘good’ thrice: “Yangyang is getting more and more impressive.”

He actually cracked the method Old Eighth used to pass messages!

Although the letter repeatedly mentioned that it was his uncle’s little apprentice who cracked it, the Emperor’s heart still leaned towards his own nephew.

However, upon reading the decoded message that came with it, the Emperor’s expression turned ugly: “Baxian Restaurant…”

Eunuch An, standing by, had a smile and relaxed expression just a moment ago, but seeing the Emperor’s sudden change of expression made his heart skip a beat.

The Emperor turned to Eunuch An: “I remember Baxian Restaurant is owned by the An Family, right?”

Eunuch An quickly nodded: “You remember correctly, Your Majesty. Although Baxian Restaurant is registered under the An Family, many nobles seem to have a share in it.”

The Emperor sneered: “Baxian…”

Eunuch An’s heart began to pound, knowing the Emperor held a deep grudge against the Eighth Prince, which made him very nervous at the mention of anything to do with the number eight.

The Emperor was silent for a while: “Go and call Xiu Xiangchen.”

Eunuch An immediately bowed and made his exit. Before long, he returned, leading a burly middle-aged man inside.

“Your Majesty, Commander Xiu has arrived.”

The man was Xiu Xiangchen, the Commander of the Jinling Guard.

The Emperor looked at the man: “All the letters intercepted from Old Eighth over the years are still kept, right?”

Xiu Xiangchen respectfully replied: “Yes, Your Majesty, they are all preserved.”

Eunuch An smiled, “Why the hurry, Commander? Since he’s to be part of the Jinling Guards, he will surely report to you soon enough, and then you’ll naturally know who it is.”

Seeing that a smiling Eunuch An wasn’t giving anything away, Xiu Xiangchen had no choice but to give up on further questioning.

Returning to the Jinling Guard Office, Xiu Xiangchen handed a commander’s token to Eunuch An, who took it and then left.

Once he was gone, the Deputy Commanders and Investigators gathered around.

“Sir, what did Eunuch An come here for?”

Xiu Xiangchen glanced at them and said indifferently, “The Emperor has specially appointed a new Investigator.”

On hearing this, both Deputy Commanders and Investigators widened their eyes in surprise.

“Sir, what exactly is going on?”

Xiu Xiangchen said, “What else could it be? Someone has made a meritorious deed.” Having said that, he didn’t want to elaborate further, “Enough, don’t crowd around here anymore, go and do your duties diligently. We have piled up quite a few cases; if we don’t take them seriously, be careful of being pushed out.”

Watching Xiu Xiangchen leave, the Deputy Commanders and Investigators quickly exchanged glances.

On the other side, Eunuch An returned to the main hall with the token.

The Emperor flipped through the token and sighed, “This time with Brother Nine legitimizing the Ma Family, Yangyang has been wronged.”

Eunuch An kept his head down, not daring to respond.

The Emperor handed the token to Eunuch An, “Promote his position by one rank. Hopefully, it makes him a little happier.”

Eunuch An said with a smile, “With the Emperor’s affection, the Little Prince will surely be pleased.”

The Emperor shook his head, not saying anything. Haven’t you heard what Dongli said? Yangyang nowadays does not allow others to call him Little Prince, which shows how much he minds the legitimization of the Ma Family.

Looking at the potion and the diamond pen on the table, thinking of his mother, his uncle, and that clever and witty little girl, the Emperor felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, Yangyang has their company in Zhongzhou!

Immediately after, the Emperor tried the pen and potion, watching as the writing on the paper slowly vanished, he said with a sigh and a chuckle, “Yan Zhigao really has a capable daughter. Go, find someone to replicate this potion.”
