Chapter 478: Capturing Guo Huan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On this day, two major events happened in the Dali Temple.
The first thing was that Guardian He of the White Lotus Society had been poisoned to death.
The second thing was that the Dali Temple had found a courtyard in the capital and found where evidence of collusion with the White Lotus Society by the officials of the Imperial Court. There were a total of seven officials involved. Six of them were from the Imperial Guards, and the other was actually a registrar of the Dali Temple.
The entire six tribes were shocked.
Emperor Jing Xuan summoned the minister of the Dali Temple and Xiao Zhonghua.
In the carriage that entered the palace, Jing Yi asked Xiao Zhonghua, “Why didn’t you highlight the Eldest Prince’s crime?”
The jailer planned to use Guardian He’s death to frame Xiao Zhonghua. Since Xiao Zhonghua already knew the plan, he would not let them succeed.
Ting Vi renlaced the “incriminating evidence” related to Xiao Zhonghna with those implicated the officials of the Imperial Court.
Xiao Zhonghua shook his head. “Do you think Father will cripple Xiao Duye after finding evidence of his crimes? He’s Father’s eldest son. You don’t know how much he’s favored in Father’s heart. To deal with him, you need more evidence that touches Father’s reverse scale.”
“It’s not like we didn’t gain anything. These people are all Xiao Duye’s minions.
It’s good if we can pull them out.”
He could not return empty-handed. Since he could not defeat Xiao Duye, he would reduce his power.
Jing Yi thought for a moment and asked, “Is Cousin really planning to let Guardian He go?”
The real Guardian He was not dead. The one who died was a condemned prisoner who had ben disguised as Guardian He.
The coroner was Xiao Zhonghua’s man and would help to cover up.
Xiao Zhonghua narrowed his eyes and said, “To play the long game. Just keep a close eye on him.”
“Cousin,” Jing Yi suddenly looked at him.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Zhonghua asked.
“Are you sad?” Jing Yi asked.
Xiao Zhonghua smiled. “What do you mean?”
Jing Yi said, “Father arranged a marriage for Wei Ting and her.”
Xiao Zhonghua lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. “If you mean losing the Qin family’s military power, I’m indeed a little sad. However, it’s not bad to cooperate with Wei Ting in this way.”
Jing Yi looked at Xiao Zhonghua without blinking, as if to see if he was really not tempted by Su Xiaoxiao.
Old Madam Wei was worried about Wei Xiyue and did not sleep well the entire night. She woke up at dawn.
Nanny Li advised, “Sleep more. Look at how tired you are. Young Miss will be fine with Miss Su. Isn’t Second Young Madam accompanying her?”
“I keep thinking about her and can’t sleep.” Matriarch Wei looked at the unfinished words that the child had been practicing on the table and sighed. “This child hasn’t left the residence since she was born. She’s not used to being outside and doesn’t interact with strangers. Do you still remember that when she was five years old, I invited a few female teachers to enlighten her?”
Nanny Li smiled and said, “I remember. Young Miss cried when she saw the teachers. In the end, the teacers didn’t stay.”
Matriarch Wei continued, “And when she was six years old, her mother brought her back to her maternal home for a visit. When she woke up and realized that she was not in the residence, she caused a huge commotion. She will definitely cry when she wakes up later. I have to go take a look.”
Nanny Li said, “I’ll help you wash up.”
When Matriarch Wei came out, Madam Chu and the others were already gathered at the entrance.
Old Madam Wei glanced at everyone and did not say anything. She asked the servants to rush to the carriage.
Because Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting’s marriage was established, there was no need to hide the relationship between the two families like before.
The spacious Wei family carriage drove all the way into Pear Blossom Lane. “Did you bring Xiyue’s favorite crispy candy?” Matriarch Wei asked.
“I did,” Madam Chu said.
“Where’s the flower drum?” Matriarch Wei asked again.
“I’m carrying it too.” Madam Jiang waved the little flower drum in her hand.
Matriarch Wei counted Wei Xiyue’s trinkets one by one and instructed, “When Xiyue cries later, remember to close the door first. Don’t disturb the neighbors.”
They were experienced in this and were very good at it.
However, when they arrived at the Su family, Wei Xiyue was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard.
They were dumbfounded.
Old Madam Wei looked at Su Cheng, who was feeding the horse. “Protector
Duke, where’s Xiyue?”
Su Cheng turned around. “You’re here? Xiyue went to class.”
Old Madam Wei was stunned. “What?”
Su Cheng said, “Class.”
In the house at the east end, Ling Yun looked at the three children in front of him, as well as the little girl who had appeared out of nowhere. His thin and handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
“What happened?” he asked.
Dahu said, “Sister Xiyue wants to come to class too.”
With that, he took out the snacks that Su Xiaoxiao asked him to give to his master. “Mother said that this is Sister Xiyue’s tuition.”
Ling Yun was about to reject ruthlessly.
Dahu said, “One box a day.”
Wei Xiyue sat cross-legged on Xiaohu’s futon, while Xiaohu was in her arms, as if she was carrying a small squirrel ball.
Ling Yun looked at Wei Xiyue.
Wei Xiyue also looked at Ling Yun.
Wei Xiyue couldn’t understand Ling Yun’s emotions. She met his gaze openly and fearlessly.
Ling Yun said solemnly, “Put him down. He can sit by himself.” Wei Xiyue did not let go.
Ling Yun grabbed Xiaohu and stuffed Erhu into her arms.
“Be good.”
Wei Xiyue looked at Erhu. Although he was also a little packrat, Wei Xiyue was a dedicated little master.
She fed Erhu three pine nuts and patted his head comfortingly before switching back to Xiaohu.
Ling Yun was dumbfounded.
On the other side, Wei Ting earned a lot in the gambling den and stood up to leave.
When he arrived at the alley where the carriage was parked, he saw the bruised and swollen shop assistants all over the ground, as well as Jing Yi, who was standing expressionlessly at the side with a long sword.
Wei Ting weighed the money bag in his hand and smiled playfully. “Yo, thank you, Young Marquis Jing, for helping me resolve these troubles.”
He had won so much money, so the people in the gambling den naturally would not let him leave easily.
Of course, if the people in the gambling den knew that he was the youngest son of the Wei family, they would probably not come forward to die.
“It was just convenient,” Jing Yi said calmly.
Wei Ting got into the carriage. Seeing that Jing Yi had not left, he lifted the curtain and smiled casually. ‘What’s the matter?”
Jing Yi handed him a note with a cold expression. “Cousin asked me to give it to you. You’ve helped Cousin twice. This time, Cousin will return you the favor with a piece of news. He asked Guardian He.”
“Oh?” Wei Ting raised his eyebrows and handed the note over.
Jing Yi said, “You have people from the White Lotus Society by your side.”
Wei Ting smiled faintly. “I knew that long ago.” JingYi continued, “It’s of a higher level than a guardian.”
This surprised Wei Ting. “Division Leader?”
Jing Yi said, “At least.”
Wei Ting said, “What do you mean at least? Could it be the Sect Master?”
“Guardian He didn’t say,” Jing Yi said. “Cousin asked him out in the name of Guardian He. It’s at the place on the note. Cousin won’t interfere with the people and matters around you for the time being. He will also keep it a secret for you and the Wei family. Handle it yourself.” With that, Jing Yi turned around and left.
Wei Ting opened the note.
“Young Master! Young Master! I’ve bought the candied hawthorn! Are we returning to Pear Blossom Lane?”
“To the Full Moon Pavilion.”
“Huh?” Fu Su was puzzled. “Why are you going there? It’s so far!”
Wei Ting said coldly, “To arrest Guo Huan..”
