"So you saw it." Yunqi saw the fleeting jealousy in Consort Liu's eyes and lost all interest in talking. "Since you saw it, please leave. The front yard is not a place for you."
Consort Liu angrily flung her sleeves and left.
Yunqi dismissed the others, leaving Yingyi behind, and asked, "Yingyi, do you know anything about that Aunt Chu's family?"
Yingyi immediately became interested: "I actually know that. The head of the Chu family is a seventh-rank official. He has two daughters and a son. Aunt Chu is his second daughter. His eldest daughter married a local gentry. His youngest son joined the army and started as a private. Now he is a squad leader."
Do you know where the Chu family is located?
"I know, but what are we going to do?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just take me there, and I'll handle the rest myself."
Yingyi hesitated for a moment: "Should we tell the Prince?"
"It was me who sought out the Chu family, what does it have to do with him?"
Yingyi looked at Yunqi with a gossipy expression: "You're not the Chu family's illegitimate daughter, are you?"
Yunqi flicked him on the forehead: "What are you thinking! I'm more like the ancestor of the Chu family!"
Ying curled her lip, looking unconvinced.
"Is the Chu family far away?"
"It takes about half an hour by carriage."
"There's no time like the present, let's go."
Shadow exclaimed in surprise: "You really want to go?!"
"Nonsense! You think I'm joking?!"
Yingyi pouted...
At this moment... Shadow One had resigned himself to his fate and was driving the carriage towards the Chu family.
Chu Family Gate
Yingyi stopped the carriage and helped Yunqi down.
"I am a guard of Prince Chen. I have something to discuss with your Master Chu. Please inform him."
The gatekeeper dutifully went to relay the message.
Yunqi glanced at Yingyi and whispered, "Aren't you afraid your prince will be angry if you misuse his name like this?"
"Isn't it because you're here? The Prince said that your requests must be fulfilled. What's wrong with just using the Prince's name for now?"
"Talent!" Yunqi secretly gave Yingyi a thumbs up!
Soon, the man stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am the steward of the Chu family. Please come in, distinguished guests."
The butler invited the two into the living room, where Lord Chu (Chu Huaiyuan) and his son (Chu Zhengzhou) looked at them.
Chu Zhengzhou had just returned from the army and came over to check after hearing the gatekeeper's announcement.
Yunqi released the paper doll, which flew towards Chu Huaiyuan and Chu Zhengzhou, hovering above their heads.
Yunqi controlled the paper doll and brought it back into her hand.
