"Yes, Zhu Zhuliang also has a lead on the person who drugged Li Mingrong. She left in a hurry just now to investigate."

"It's really too much trouble for that young lady."

Aunt Chi felt really bad for troubling the young lady so many times.

They were thinking to themselves that they would definitely give an even bigger red envelope on the day Young Master Meng got married!

Otherwise, I'll always feel guilty.

"Don't worry, this is her own choice. Otherwise, given Zhu Zhuliang's personality, even if His Majesty issued an imperial edict, she might not agree."

That girl was proud and aloof.

Moreover, this matter is also related to that person, so how could she possibly give up the investigation?

"What does that girl like?" Old Man Chi asked.

If you can avoid owing others, then don't.

Favors are even harder to repay!

"She likes all sorts of strange and unusual things, or people who are dying from strange poisons or Gu poisons."

Chi family: ...

Why does this girl like these things?

So how are they preparing?

"Father and Mother, don't overthink it. Anyway, we have Brother Chenyi. Let's give Brother Chenyi more so he can repay this favor."

"Great idea!"

Huo Chen nodded in agreement.

That's absolutely right.

"puff!"

"You two."

Aunt Chi looked at the two children with doting eyes, then suddenly remembered something and pulled Huo Chenyi aside to ask:

When is your mother coming back?

Speaking of which, the eldest princess has been traveling for several months now.

There are no elders in Chen's family, which is really worrying.

“My mother said she won’t be back anytime soon. She’s been stuck in Beijing for half her life, and it would be best if she could go out and have some fun and relax.”

Huo Chen smiled slightly.

Actually, there was something he didn't say, because he wasn't sure yet.

The mother met a man during her trip.

The man is humorous, gentle, and kind; he treats his mother very well and takes excellent care of her.

The princess was very happy during the months they spent together.

However, Emperor Huiwu was somewhat worried, thinking it might be Huo Minglang No. 2!

Or perhaps they knew the princess's identity and had ulterior motives.

but……

If His Majesty's uncle knew that man's identity, he probably wouldn't think that way.

Well, if Mother doesn't want me to say anything, then I won't say anything for now. I'll give His Majesty a surprise when Mother comes back.

“Your mother has suffered too. Before, I always thought those high-ranking officials and nobles were so lucky. They had servants, could eat whatever they wanted, and had beautiful clothes. Now that I think about it... sigh, a peaceful and harmonious family is better than anything else.”

"You old woman, can't you keep your mouth shut? Why are you saying this?"

Old Man Chi glared at his wife.

Why say such useless things in front of Chenyi?

"It's alright, sir, I know what auntie meant." Huo Chenyi didn't take it to heart.

but……

"I must go now; I haven't finished the task His Majesty left me."

Three days is already the limit for me to stay here.

If it weren't for Tangtang's safety, His Majesty wouldn't have agreed to let him come.

"Oh? Are we leaving now? Won't that mean traveling at night?" Aunt Chi asked with some concern. "You're only ten years old. Traveling at night isn't good for your health."

How can such a young child work so hard?

"It's fine."

Huo Chenyi is definitely going to leave.

Chi Tang held onto Huo Chenyi with some reluctance, but she also knew that Huo Chenyi had to leave.

"We'll be going to the capital again in a few days. I want to see my chubby brother Chenyi then!"

"good."

"Brother Chenyi, you're not allowed to stay up late. You need to go to bed early."

"good."

"Brother Chenyi..."

No matter what Chi Tang said, Huo Chenyi only said "okay".

Chi Tang disliked the feeling of parting, so she waved to Huo Chenyi to leave quickly, lest she feel reluctant to part with him.

Watching Huo Chen ride away on horseback, Aunt Chi was somewhat puzzled.

"Tell me, Chenyi isn't a prince, so why would His Majesty assign him so much homework and care about it so much?"

"What's wrong with an uncle caring about his nephew? Isn't that a good thing? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and think about how to talk to your in-laws later."

The elderly couple walked inside, while Chi Tang gazed into the distance, her eyes darting around.

Yes, Chen Yi isn't a prince, so why is His Majesty so concerned about him?

Is it only because of the eldest princess?

Chi Tang shook her head, feeling as if she had overlooked something.

Unable to figure it out, she stopped trying and obediently returned to her courtyard.

Jiu Hua cooks very well; although she can't compare to Sister Chi, she cooks better than most people.

However, after finishing his meal, Old Man Chi still told Old Man Li about it.

Chi Dashan, on behalf of the Chi family, knelt down before Old Man Li.

“Father… Although things didn’t turn out the way we thought, we really did get dragged into this… I… I’m sorry.”

Chi Dashan kowtowed three more times to Li Da Niang's memorial tablet.

If it weren't for their family, the Li family would probably still be a harmonious and happy family now, right?

Even though Li Mingrong caused trouble, at least the family was still safe and sound.

"...No, why? Why go through so much trouble to deal with Tangtang?"

Li Mingfan's wife didn't understand.

Old Man Chi said seriously, "There are some things we can't tell you all, but we can reveal some of them."

Tangtang was born with innate knowledge, and many of the current government's initiatives and inventions are Tangtang's ideas.
