The court assembly finally ended, and Wei Ping and Cai Xian walked out side by side a few steps after the moonlight.

They exchanged a glance, both understanding that the other also wanted to visit the Ministry of Justice prison.

"Little Pearl, you said White Jade ran quite far, how far?"

[Master, this white jade should be leaving the territory of Dayan soon.]

"Pretty clever, huh? They're planning to flee the country!"

Wei Ping and Cai Xian, who were trailing behind her, exchanged a glance. If Bai Yu left the border of Dayan Kingdom and didn't come back, it would be really difficult to catch him again.

Yue Fuguang speculated, "The Bai family has connections with Nanzhao. Has he gone to Nanzhao to seek refuge with relatives?"

He sought refuge not with relatives but with his lover, and he didn't go to Nanzhao but towards Xiqiang.

"Xie Zhiyao, the marriage alliance?"

Cai Xian and Wei Ping also thought of this. Calculating the time, at the pace of the marriage procession, they would be able to leave Dayan territory in another five or six days.

If we chase after them now, we don't know if we can catch up.

The little bead wasn't sure either; it only sensed that he was heading in that direction.

"You..." Lord Wei, Minister Cai, what is this?

As Yue Fuguang walked out of the palace and was about to get into the carriage, she saw Wei Ping and Cai Xian following behind her, and then Feng Tang and others who braked suddenly and turned sharply, hurrying towards their own yamen.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wei Ping's face as he chuckled and said, "It's just that I haven't seen the Young Master attend court for two days, and I've been missing him terribly."

So, having nothing to do after court, I thought I'd like to accompany Lord Cai to see off the Junior Tutor.

Cai Xian also said, "Lord Wei is right. I would also like to thank the Junior Tutor. I ate that crumbly pie, and it was indeed exceptionally delicious."

Even my mother loves it; her appetite has improved considerably these past two days.

Wei Ping: He knows Aunt Cai. When has she ever had a bad appetite? She especially loves to eat pancakes. Cai Xian inherited this trait.

Yue Fuguang boarded the carriage, smiled, and waved to the two men, saying, "Thank you both for seeing me off. See you in two days."

Watching the carriage, bathed in moonlight, disappear into the distance, the two turned and headed towards the prison in perfect unison. Cai Xian even waved to Feng Tang, who had returned.

"Lord Feng, should we send someone to pursue Bai Yu?"

"Rest assured, Lord Cai, I have already dispatched a team of men at full speed. Yu Dali is personally leading the team, with two horses each, hoping to stop them before they cross the border."

The case involving the four major families colluding with foreign tribes, plundering the people and merchants of this dynasty, and plotting a rebellion, lasted for nearly half a month before being finally settled.

If we hadn't had enough evidence, the case wouldn't have been closed so quickly.

This is not the end of the story. There are still many things to deal with afterward, so the heads of these people need to be kept on the table for a while longer.

During these days, another major event occurred: the evidence against Prince Qi Xie Qi for plotting a rebellion was conclusive, and before Emperor Mingxi could issue an edict to execute him.

Knowing he could not escape death, King Qi committed suicide by drinking poison. According to Wei Ping's later report, the poison he used was from Du Zhongxian.

Yue Fuguang still remembers the conflicted expression on Wei Ping's face when he reported this matter.

Emperor Mingxi, noticing the problem, pressed further, "Minister Wei, do you have anything else to say? What kind of poison did Xie Qi suffer from?"

Emperor Mingxi regretted asking the question as soon as he saw Wei Ping's face contort in distress, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Wei Aiqing reported, "Your Majesty, the poison that Prince Qi has been poisoned by has been confirmed by Daoist Xuanmingzi to be a poison called 'Boundless Spring Colors'."

This is the first time I've ever heard of this poison!

Emperor Mingxi nodded stiffly and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this... As for Prince Qi, find him a coffin and bury him!"

Even now, when I think back to that scene, I can't help but laugh.

"Fu Guang, what's making you laugh so happily?" Yu Ningxuan, who was sitting opposite her in the carriage, asked curiously.

“I was thinking, how beautiful it would be if my estate were covered with wildflowers in the spring.”

"Plant a whole hill of flowers?" Yu Ningxuan asked with delight. "Then we must come and have a good time when spring comes."

Yue Fuguang nodded and said, "Of course, but does Second Sister think flowers are just pretty?"

"Otherwise what? Is there any other use for it?"

Yu Ningxuan thought for a moment and said, "You want to use fresh flowers to make the fragrance?"

Looking at the wheat fields covered in snow outside, Yue Fuguang said, "Yes and no. What I'm making is essential oil, which is different from the perfume you usually use."

And the soap you're using now, in the future, with the addition of essential oils extracted from various flowers, will be even better and smell even more wonderful.

"Essential oils? This is the first time I've ever heard of them. Is this another one of your clever little brains coming up with?"

Yu Ningxuan was overjoyed, and looked at her sister's fluffy head, really wanting to reach out and rub it.

Her hand, which had been itching to strike, moved inside her sleeve, but she ultimately didn't dare to extend her claws.

Putting aside whether her younger sister would agree, what if her grandparents and parents found out she dared to touch her sister's head...

They will definitely make up for her childhood!

Yue Fuguang didn't explain, only saying, "I'll take care of figuring out a solution. You and the sisters will be in charge of the production, management, and sales. What do you think, Second Sister and Fourth Sister?"

Yue Fuguang looked at Yu Ningxin, who had been smiling at them without saying a word.

"What does Fourth Sister think?"

Yu Ningxin smiled gently and said, "Fourth sister thinks it's excellent, but I'm afraid we sisters won't do it well and will drag our younger sister down."

Yue Fuguang waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, sisters, just treat this as practice."

She smiled confidently and said, "Trust me, as long as you follow the recipe, the products will be excellent. All you need to do is manage the staff and the sales in the shop."

Everything produced by the system is of the highest quality, and the recipes are the same. They are all best suited for this era, and the finished products are far superior to those of this era.

"Then we can rest assured."

"Let's make this clear first: you won't get wages, but I'll give you profit sharing. I'll provide the recipe and raw materials, and you'll be responsible for management."

We'll split it 30/70, I'll get 70%, and you guys 30%. We'll focus on high-end products, and I expect that in a year or two, your share of the profits will be comparable to your dowry money from the public funds.”

The two sisters blushed with embarrassment when they heard about the dowry. The two older sisters in the family were all around the same age, especially Yu Ningxuan, who was also of marriageable age.

However, instead of being happy to hear that they could receive so much silver, the two quickly declined, saying, "There's no need to give us a share; this is too much."

Yu Ningxin, in particular, was more cautious as a concubine's daughter. "My sisters will follow your instructions and assist you without asking for wages or dividends."

Yue Fuguang shook her head and deliberately said, "It's settled then, 30%, you can't have more if you want. My two older sisters know me, my younger sister is lazy, so I'd rather not earn this money than do it."

The two thought about their sister's recent behavior and realized that she was indeed lazy and lethargic!

They couldn't help but smile slightly. Yue Fuguang wasn't annoyed to see her sisters laughing. She was just being lazy and proud of herself. Who told her she had the means to do so!

"Sisters, don't laugh yet, it's settled then."
