As for my half-brother...

Heng Youyi's eyes darkened. She had to tell her parents. If he went behind her parents' backs and colluded with outsiders to plot her marriage, then the family business would never be handed over to him in the future.

"Actually, there's one thing I still can't figure out." Su Yin frowned in confusion.

"What is it?"

"Why did Shunyi Hou go to so much trouble to set up such a big chess game for you?" Su Yin rested her chin on one hand and looked Heng Youyi up and down with curious eyes, "Is there something on you that he is after?"

Heng Youyi's expression froze and his brows were furrowed.

Su Yin stopped talking short, saying that she had said enough today.

She still understands the principle that too much is as bad as too little.

As for how Heng Youyi will investigate later and what the results of the investigation will be, it is not something she can control.

Heng Youyi is a smart person, a smart woman who is not bound by love. Once her potential is stimulated, unexpected results are often produced.

Su Yin is very optimistic about Heng Youyi.

At the north gate of Shangjing City, three black carriages were entering the city in a low-key manner. In the third carriage at the end of the team, there were three young boys sitting. Each of them was more mature than other children of the same age, and exuded a hint of hostility.

The hustle and bustle outside the car made the three teenagers inside very excited. Someone secretly lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out.

The other two boys couldn't help but peek outside.

"It's so lively outside."

"I wonder which city this is?"

"It's so lively, it must be a city or something like that."

The driver in front coughed lightly, and the three people in the car immediately quieted down. The young man who had just lifted the curtain to peek immediately lowered the curtain.

After coming out of the Death Squad, whenever they passed through a city, their eyes would be covered, causing them to not know where they came from or where they were going.

Today, it is rare that their eyes are not covered, which probably means they have reached their destination.

The carriage went from the north to the south of the city and finally stopped in front of a two-story house.

At this time, the only carriage left among the three was the one they were riding in; the whereabouts of the other two carriages were unknown.

The driver said to the three people in the car: "Get off quickly."

Three people got off the carriage and looked around curiously. The driver knocked on the door rhythmically a few times. After the people in the house heard the regular knocking, they opened the gate.

As soon as the gate opened, the coachman urged the three people to enter.

As soon as the group stepped into the yard, the door was quickly closed, for fear that outsiders would see inside.

The caution of the people in the house made the three little guys unconsciously tense.

A burly man with a full beard looked up and down at the three kids in front of him. "Didn't you say there were two? Why are there three?"

The driver glanced at the three men and explained, "One of them is the person that Eunuch Hong wants."

When the bearded man heard that it was the person Eunuch Hong wanted, he immediately took him seriously.

He walked forward and whispered, "Which one?"

The driver kept his mouth shut and said with a smile, "How would I know that? Why don't you go ask Eunuch Hong yourself?"

The bearded man curled his lips, knowing that he was unwilling to talk, he put away the smile on his face and said to Su Xinyang and the other two: "You three, stay in that room. Don't leave the room unless necessary, do you hear me?"

The three of them nodded.

"Let's go." The bearded man waved his hand impatiently.

Su Xinyang and the other two pushed open the door and walked into the designated room. There were six simple beds made of wooden boards in the room, and the three of them each chose a bed that was far away from each other.

Before the driver left, he warned the bearded man, "Take good care of them, especially the man that Eunuch Hong wants. If anything goes wrong, I can't protect you."

The bearded man glared and said, "Then tell me, who is the one chosen by Eunuch Hong?"

"I can't say it. I can't say it. Anyway, just take care of the three of them, that's all." The driver didn't want to continue to argue with him. "I've got your message. If you don't do it well, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Got it." The bearded man waved his hand and urged the other party to leave quickly.

At the same time, in a room full of paintings and calligraphy and filled with the scent of ink, a man in a white robe, a jade crown on his head, with a handsome face and an elegant and bookish air, was waving a wolf-hair brush worth a fortune in his hand and writing on white rice paper. Every stroke seemed to be sharp and flowing, and the words that fell on the paper were heroic and sharp.

Eunuch Hong walked into the house, bent over respectfully, and waited quietly for his master.

After a while, the person who was in high interest finally stopped writing and glanced leisurely at the person below.

"How's it going?"

"I have found two young men who are about ten years old. They are both very talented. Tomorrow I will bring them to the palace to accompany the young master."

Song Yunhe nodded lightly, and seeing that the old man had no intention of leaving, he knew that he had something else to report.

"Old slave, I found a treasure in the Death Soldier Camp this time."

Song Yunhe became interested, "What treasure?"

"I saw a child there. The child looked about four or five percent like the late emperor's favorite empress."

"girl?"

"Boy," Eunuch Hong corrected.

Song Yunhe frowned and said quietly, "You old man, tell me what your plans are."

Eunuch Hong said with a smile: "Master, which generals are left in our Yong Dynasty who can fight? Which army can be called a lion?"

Normally, Song Yunhe would have no interest in wasting time on something like this whose answer everyone knew, but today he was in a good mood and was willing to join in the fun of this old man.

"There are many generals in the court, but the one who can really fight is naturally Duke Su, Xie Zhen. It's a pity that he is old. Even our leader is always afraid of the Northwest Army he leads. What do you want to say?"

Eunuch Hong knew that his master's patience had run out, so he didn't dare to keep him in suspense any longer and quickly revealed his plan.

"Master, Xie Zhen had three sons, all three of whom died on the battlefield. Even his four grandsons died on the battlefield. Now, only Duke Su is left, and the rest are some inferior female relatives."

Song Yunhe vaguely guessed what this old man was going to do.

Eunuch Hong continued, "This old servant accidentally learned a secret. The third son of Duke Su secretly kept a concubine outside. The concubine looked a bit like the late emperor's empress. Because of her appearance, it was not suitable for her to appear in front of people, so Third Master Xie secretly kept her outside."
