“You used to not express your feelings so easily, nor would you sulk like this. If I upset you, you would directly tell me what I did wrong and ask me to correct it…”
This situation wasn't uncommon when the two first got married. Newlyweds inevitably have disagreements, and at that time, Yinzhen's feelings for Tong Cheng'er were mostly out of helplessness and compromise.
Of course, he went to so much to marry her, so there must have been feelings involved, but the weight of those feelings was different.
When Yinzhen heard her say that, he felt as if he had been transported to another world.
He felt that the young lady was talking about someone else.
But none of that matters anymore.
Not long after returning to his residence, Su Peisheng came back.
Actually, it wasn't a difficult problem to solve. The Cao family did enjoy constant favor, but Yinzhen had never asked the Cao family for anything. In addition, in his dream, Yongzheng had confiscated the property of the Cao family, so he didn't have any good feelings towards them.
Therefore, no leniency was shown.
As for the officials in the capital in charge of this matter, they could naturally distinguish between what was important and what was not. The Cao family was favored by His Majesty, but the person who stood up for Mo Chenyu was someone that the Fourth Prince, who was highly regarded by His Majesty, wanted to protect.
One was a court official, the other a prince; one was far away in Jiangnan, the other was right before their eyes.
Even a fool knows which choice to make.
Yang Huaidan was merely a relative by marriage to the Cao family, and was really nothing special.
A man like Yang Huaidan could only act arrogantly in Jiangnan. Now that he has offended Yinzhen in the capital, and the Cao family finds out the truth in a few days, he will probably have to come to apologize and ask Yinzhen not to blame him!
After Su Peisheng returned, Yinzhen asked, "How did things go?"
"Reporting to Master, it has been handled properly. Yang Huaidan has confessed to what he did and is now in prison awaiting further punishment."
As expected.
Where is Mo Chenyu?
"Young Master Mo has been taken back to his residence by his entourage. I personally escorted him there."
Firstly, to ensure his safety, and secondly, to find out his whereabouts.
“You handled this matter very well. Today’s events were somewhat coincidental. Send someone to investigate Mo Chenyu.”
He simply didn't believe in such a coincidence.
Su Peisheng was taken aback upon hearing this, and then replied, "Yes, Master."
Yinzhen then instructed, "Don't tell the Fujin about my investigation into Mo Chenyu for now."
Although the young princess did not have romantic feelings for Mo Chenyu, she did feel a certain pity for him, so it was best not to let her know.
"Yes, Master."
"You can go out now!"
"This servant takes his leave."
Elsewhere, in the Mo family's small villa in the capital, Mo Chenxuan looked at his younger brother in the wheelchair and frowned, saying, "What you did today was too risky."
Mo Chenxuan said calmly, "We always have to try. Look, it worked, didn't it?"
Looking at his brother's indifferent expression, Mo Chenxuan couldn't help but feel sorry for him. That damned Yang Huaidan, even if he were torn to pieces, it wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in his heart.
His younger brother was such a good person, yet he was ruined by such a despicable person and turned into such an indifferent person. Everyone in the Mo family felt heartbroken seeing this.
“You are not allowed to do such risky things again. You were lucky to meet a benefactor today. But if you were unlucky and happened to run into those corrupt officials, what would I do then? What would my parents do?”
Mo Chenyu remained silent upon hearing this.
Mo Chenxuan sighed and said, "Brother knows you want to get rid of Yang Huaidan as soon as possible, but you can't be so impulsive. It's not worth ruining yourself for a playboy. From now on, you are not allowed to go out without my permission. I have already instructed Mo Bao to keep an eye on you."
Mo Chenyu knew his elder brother was concerned, so he sighed and said, "Yang Huaidan has been dealt with, so naturally I won't do anything more, and there's no need for me to go out. Don't worry, brother!"
He was indeed a bit reckless today, but luckily he was blessed with good fortune and actually met a benefactor.
Although we don't know the identity of that Fourth Master, someone who can command the obsequiousness and flattery of the capital's government officials must be no ordinary person of power and influence.
Upon hearing this, Mo Chenxuan sighed again: "It's good that you think that way. By the way, who is the Fourth Master you met today? Have you found out?"
Mo Chenyu shook his head: "No, that Fourth Master's servant is very tight-lipped and cautious in his actions. I tried to find out more, but to no avail."
Mo Chenxuan: "The servants are so tight-lipped, they must be no ordinary people. It is a great favor after all. If I ever find out who helped me in the future, I will definitely lend a hand."
He repaid a life-saving debt.
Of course, both brothers knew that there would be very few places where such people could use them.
“Brother is right.”
Mo Chenxuan left only after seeing that his younger brother was safe and sound. After he left, Mo Chenyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been tense all day, but things went more smoothly than he had imagined.
He summoned Mo Bao and instructed him, "Go to Mr. Qi in person and tell him what happened today."
Mo Bao: "Yes, young master."
Today's events, though described as risky, were actually planned out in his mind. The reason he chose that particular place to meet Yang Huaidan was intentional; he just didn't expect to run into that important person known as the Fourth Master.
Things are progressing more smoothly now.
Upon hearing Mo Bao's words, Mr. Qi immediately said, "That's a good thing. I will go and tell the master to investigate the identity of that Fourth Master."
Mo Bao: "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Qi."
“Your young master shouldn’t have acted this way. What I did was nothing more than a small favor.”
"Mr. Qi is too modest. If it were with Mr. Qi, our young master would probably not be able to escape this calamity. We will never forget your great kindness."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mo Bao left.
After the calligraphy was taken away, Mr. Qi wrote a letter and then sent his trusted confidant to deliver it to an antique shop.
That evening, Su Peisheng reported: "My lord, you were right. Today's events were indeed a bit strange. I had someone keep an eye on the Mo family's courtyard. I saw that Young Master Mo's attendant leave the mansion through the back door and go to a Mr. Qi's place. Not long after Young Master Mo's attendant left, Mr. Qi delivered a letter to an antique shop in Liulichang. That's all I can find out for now."
Yinzhen: "Have someone keep an eye on things."
"Yes, Master."
Yinzhen disliked the unknown and feared that he would have a hard time finding peace in the coming days until he found out the truth.
That night, Tong Cheng'er was still thinking about Mo Chenyu.
"Su Peisheng said he would personally escort Mo Chenyu back, so he should know where he lives. I'll have him go and ask around to see if the bicycle can be made. If it can be made..."
Tong Cheng'er kept talking about her dreams for the future, and she couldn't stop talking about Mo Chenyu. It gave Yinzhen a headache. Why was it always this man? He was so annoying.
Yinzhen pulled her into his arms and sealed her mouth with a kiss, completely silencing Tong Cheng'er.
The night is long, why did she have to do something else, instead of another man? It's infuriating.
Yinzhen felt he had to let her know today that he was really angry and that the consequences would be severe.
When Tong Cheng'er woke up the next day, she looked at her body and realized that there wasn't a single thing to see on it. Only then did she understand just how crazy a jealous man could be.
