You Yu was taken aback for a moment; he had thought Daohua was coming to him to ask for help in suppressing rumors, but it turned out she was actually investigating Fan Tongzhi.
You Yu looked up and sized up the young girl sitting in front of him drinking tea, indeed worthy of being the younger sister of Yan Three and Yan Four—she liked to pull the rug out from under someone’s feet in handling matters.
"And after finding evidence?"
Daohua, puzzled, said, "Punishing corrupt and bribe-taking officials, isn’t that the duty of the Jinling Guard?"
You Yu’s mouth twitched, this shirking of responsibility was indeed deft. Thinking of how Yan Three had once saved his life, and the recent news from the Northern Frontier where Yan Three and Yan Four had again distinguished themselves, he immediately said with a smile, "Alright, I’ll take care of this matter."
Daohua smiled and said, "Thank you, Butler You." With that, she glanced at Wang Manman.
Wang Manman immediately presented the gift she had prepared.
Daohua said, "The end of the year is approaching. This is just a small token of appreciation, I hope you won’t find it disdainful, Butler You."
You Yu swiftly took the gift, spotting quite a number of fine medicinal herbs, and his smile deepened, "Not at all, not at all." Though the Yan Family was of humble origins, they really did have some nice things.
He owed his life to that time when Yan Three used a piece of Hundred-Year Ginseng to save him.
After You Yu left with a beaming smile, Wang Manman looked at Daohua uncertainly, "Miss, seeking Butler You to investigate Fan Tongzhi is far less convenient than seeking Deshou, why go to such lengths?"
Daohua fiddled with her tea lid: "We are dealing with the Guo Family, and the Guo Family is Xiao Yeyang’s maternal family; do you think we can use Xiao Yeyang’s people?"
Wang Manman immediately fell silent, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Miss, how do you plan to deal with the Guo Family?"
Daohua set down the tea lid, her expression indifferent, "Of course, by using their own methods against them. Let’s go, back to the residence."
...
On hearing this, Han Xinran, fuming madly, pointed trembling fingers and said, "You...what are you? Is it your place to interfere in the affairs of my Yan Family?" Just then, she felt a sudden sharp pain in her stomach and bent over with an ’Ay’.
Madam Li was startled and quickly supported Han Xinran, anxiously asking, "Xinran, what’s wrong with you?"
Han Xinran turned pale, "Mother, my stomach hurts so much."
Madam Li, thinking of something, panicked and shouted loudly, "Quick, go call the doctor."
Seeing Han Xinran in such a state, Li Wangshi instantly knew that she might be pregnant and troubled her fetus. Thinking of how her granddaughter was to marry into the Yan Family, she quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"You haven’t given us an explanation yet, no one is leaving!"
Madam Li looked at Li Wangshi with a dark expression, and through gritted teeth said, "If anything happens to my daughter-in-law, I promise your whole family will pay the price."
Li Wangshi was shaken by Madam Li’s fierce gaze, but quickly recovered, her own family had powerful support and she was not afraid of her. Just as she was about to speak, a commotion came from the entrance of the courtyard; she turned her head to see a divine-looking girl walking in.
