Zheng Er nodded. "Can't you tell? He was all respectful to you just a few days ago, but the moment he caught that guy, he changed completely. He's Lao Bai, isn't he?"
"Um."
"So when you go to brothels, are you just doing it for them to see?"
"No. Didn't I just say? I mainly came out to have fun, and incidentally helped the Crown Prince with some problems."
This isn't just a "point," it's a question: "Do you actually have any of the Crown Prince's people around you?"
"Of course not." Why would she go out with that guy's people?
Zheng Er: "..." He's so stupid!
Sisi raised an eyebrow: "What? Scared?"
I'm not afraid, it's just that I can never quite figure you out. "If you're not afraid, why should I be? Your Yun family has far more people than our Zheng family."
"Then let's go."
"Alright. By the way, you really did already visit six young masters before?"
"Yeah. None of them are as good-looking as you."
"So you're just lying to me?"
Sisi denied it: "How is this a lie? This is giving you a chance."
"……Thanks."
"You're welcome. When do you plan to go to the capital?"
Zheng Er blushed. "I...I want to establish myself first."
"Why are you blushing? I sent you to the capital so you could learn from my great-grandfather and my three grandfathers." Her grandfather and grandmother should have arrived in the capital by now. "The teachers here are definitely not as learned as my great-grandfather and my three grandfathers."
"..." Zheng Er's face turned even redder.
Sisi tilted her head and looked at Zheng Er with a smile, saying, "Our family is now related to the imperial family. If you can't even pass the imperial examination, you won't be able to marry a girl from our family."
"...Yun Xiaoliu!"
Yun Xiaoliu gave Zheng Er a smile.
Old Bai, wearing a fake face, walked over. "Why are you yelling so loudly? Be careful Old Hei beats you up."
Zheng Er immediately looked around. "Old Hei is here too?"
"No, Lao Hei is in Beijing with his wife."
Then why did you say I should watch out for Old Black beating me up? "Old White, you're really joking."
“I’m not kidding. I’m telling you, once you get to the capital, never call him Xiao Liu like that. If Lao Hei hears you, he’ll really beat you up. Xiao Liu, the search is done, you can go now.”
"What did they find?"
"Eight boxes of gold and silver jewelry, more than 20,000 catties of grain, and a pile of weapons were found."
"Give the grain to the local government, send the weapons to the capital with the former prince and his men, keep 20% of the gold and silver, and distribute the rest to everyone, including Zheng Er."
Old Bai: "Alright!"
Zheng Er: "I don't need to divide it up, I didn't help much anyway."
Sisi: "You've been living in fear with us."
Old Bai: "Don't refuse, Xiao Liu always makes sure everyone gets a share."
"……Thanks."
On the other side, the magistrate of Wu'an County was so anxious he was about to hang himself. If he couldn't find the Crown Princess soon, he would lose his head.
When the Zheng family discovered that Zheng Er and Sisi were missing, they reported it to the authorities.
Just when the magistrate of Wu'an County was on the verge of collapse, Sisi returned. Not only did Sisi return, she also captured the former prince.
The magistrate of Wu'an County could hardly believe it!
Miss Yun, isn't she always out sightseeing with handsome men? How come she ended up wiping out the last remaining force of the previous dynasty while on vacation?!
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng couldn't believe it either!
That adorable little girl actually dared to run into a den of thieves?!
After Sisi brought Zheng Er back, she and Lao Bai went to Dongyang Prefecture to see the beauties. When they left, they left four guards for Zheng Er.
While Master Zheng and Madam Zheng were still pondering why they had left a bodyguard for Zheng Er, Zheng Er told them he was going to the capital to seek knowledge from Old Master Yun. He also added that once he passed the imperial examination, he would propose marriage to the Yun family.
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Zheng quickly asked him if Sisi had promised him something.
Zheng Er was worried that Sisi's sisters would look down on him because of his family background. "No, it's just that I want to work towards that goal."
Mrs. Zheng was afraid that Zheng Er would be disappointed. "How about I arrange another marriage for you?"
Master Zheng wanted Zheng Er to give it a try. What if it worked? "I think Miss Yun Liu also has this idea, otherwise why would she leave you four guards to protect your second son?"
"this……"
"Don't do that. Second son, Dad supports you."
Three days later, Zheng Er set off with the guards Sisi had left for him and the two bodyguards he had hired himself.
Madam Yun and her entourage arrived in the capital a few days ago.
The Emperor assigned official positions to Yun Yuqi and his brothers, as well as Ye Jinhui.
Ye Jinhui is the husband of Yun Qingfang, the eldest daughter of Sisi's third grandfather.
After the Yun family was exiled to the border, he couldn't bear to leave his wife and children, so he abandoned his post and went after them.
After discussing matters at the morning court session, the emperor symbolically asked, "Do any of you ministers have anything else to say? If not, the court may adjourn."
No sooner had the Emperor finished speaking than the Duke of Dingguo, who had followed the Emperor since he was still a commander, immediately stepped forward. “Your Majesty, I heard some rumors yesterday, and I think I should tell you about them.”
His youngest daughter had been in love with the Crown Prince since she was a child, and he followed the Emperor in his campaigns. His youngest daughter originally had the opportunity to marry the Crown Prince, but unexpectedly, Yun Xiaoliu suddenly appeared.
The Crown Prince glanced sideways at the Duke of Dingguo.
The Emperor casually said, "What rumors? Tell me about them."
"Yes. I've heard that Minister Yun's daughter didn't go out for sightseeing at all, but went out to find a young man. I've heard that Minister Yun's daughter has already found five or six young men. I don't know if it's true or not, but I think we should investigate. Minister Yun's daughter is going to marry the Crown Prince in the future."
After Yun Yuqi returned, the Emperor appointed him as Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Yun Yuqi glared fiercely at the Duke of Dingguo.
"Your Majesty, even if my daughter goes to find a young man, it's to find talent for you. Many of the generals under my elder brother's command were recruited by my daughter."
General Niu: "Your Majesty, I can testify to this."
His Majesty looked at the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince said calmly, "Father, it was I who asked Xiao Liu to go find those young men."
Everyone: "..."
Your Majesty: You brat, do you think your father would believe that?
Yun Yuqi: This son-in-law is alright.
General Niu: That's more like it, otherwise I would have complained to Xiao Liu about you.
Duke of Dingguo: You don't care about this?! "Your Highness, why did you send her to find those young men?"
"Find talent for my father, the emperor. What my father needs most right now is talent. Minister Yun, we're on the same page."
Your Majesty: You brat, already starting to flatter your father-in-law? "Ahem! Since that's the case, there's no need to investigate further. Do any of you ministers have anything else to say?"
The Duke of Dingguo did not want to let the matter drop. "Your Majesty, I have other matters to attend to."
"explain."
"Yes. Your Highness, why did you only send Minister Yun's daughter to find the young man?"
The Crown Prince looked into the eyes of the Duke of Dingguo and said, "Those who are older either served as officials in the previous dynasty, or studied in the same school or poetry club as officials from the previous dynasty. Do you want to bring them all back? Do you want to invite them all to the court?"
