Chapter 815, Secret Entry into Beijing
On the 25th day of the first lunar month, Daohua called the heads of the farms under her name and Xiao Yeyang's name to the Four Seasons Villa, one to meet them and the other to assign spring plowing tasks and distribute seeds.
Daohua had just finished her work and dismissed the village head when Wang Maner walked in with a happy face: "Miss, look quickly, who is here?"
Daohua looked up and saw Dong Yuanyao standing behind Wang Maner. A surprised smile instantly appeared on her face. She stood up and walked over in two steps.
"Yuan Yao!"
"Yiyi!"
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao held each other's hands tightly and looked at each other excitedly.
"You've changed!"
"You've changed too!"
The two smiled at each other.
Dong Yuanyao smiled and said, "Yes, we have all changed. From being ladies, we have become other people's wives."
Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao to sit down and asked, "Why did you return to Beijing? Where is Sun Changze?"
Dong Yuanyao: "He's here too. We just happened to run into the old man when we entered the village. He's talking to him now."
Daohua looked at Dong Yuanyao's womanly attire and asked tentatively, "Is everything okay with the Sun family?"
Dong Yuanyao knew what Daohua wanted to ask, so she held her hand tightly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my parents-in-law are very good to me. I'm lucky to have met a good family."
Daohua breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. If there is anything, you must tell me. I am your family now. If Sun Changze dares to bully you, I will help you teach him a lesson."
Dong Yuanyao smiled and nodded heavily: "Okay."
Daohua poured Dong Yuanyao a cup of tea and asked, "Why are you coming to Beijing at this time?"
Dong Yuanyao's face turned serious: "I was just about to tell you about this." As he said that, he glanced at Wang Maner and others in the room.
When Daohua saw this, she quickly asked them to leave.
After everyone left, Dong Yuanyao finally spoke: "After leaving you, Sun Changze took me back to the Cao Gang. Because I offended the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, I didn't want to cause trouble for the Cao Gang, so I only met with my parents-in-law in private."
"Under the auspices of my parents-in-law, Sun Changze and I got married. Although my parents-in-law and Sun Changze were very kind to me, I was really worried about my parents and my eldest brother."
"I was worried that they couldn't withstand the bitter cold of Xiliang, and I was also worried that the Duke of Wei would not let the Dong family go. Sun Changze saw how much I missed my family, so he took me to Xiliang."
Daohua looked surprised: "So, you just came back from Xiliang?"
Dong Yuanyao nodded.
Daohua reached out and touched Dong Yuanyao's face. "I was wondering why your face has become so rough. I thought the Sun family wasn't doing well and couldn't even afford face cream."
Dong Yuanyao laughed, then a look of worry returned to her face. "The wind in Xiliang is bone-chillingly cold, and it feels like a knife scraping my face. You don't know, when I found my parents and eldest brother in Xiliang, I almost didn't recognize them."
Daohua was silent for a moment: "Auntie and uncle are all right?"
Dong Yuanyao hummed, "They're all still alive." Then, anger flashed across her face. "The people from the Duke of Wei's Mansion really don't intend to let the Dong family go. Yiyi, you know, it's a good thing Sun Changze and I went there. Otherwise, I might not have a father anymore."
Upon hearing this, Daohua couldn't help but frown.
The Duke of Weiguo's Mansion is wealthy and powerful, so it would be very easy for them to deal with the current Dong family.
Dong Yuanyao suddenly looked at Daohua with a serious expression: "Yiyi, in order to prevent the people from the Weiguo Mansion from continuing to retaliate against the Dong family, Sun Changze and I decided to secretly assassinate them. During the assassination, we discovered something strange."
Rice Flower: "What's strange?"
Dong Yuanyao: "Western Liang and Western Liao border each other, so it's not surprising to see Hu people in Western Liang. However, the fact that people from the Duke of Wei's Mansion have repeatedly come into contact with Hu people makes us feel something is wrong."
Daohua's eyes widened immediately. "Duke Wei's Mansion had contact with the Hu people?! Are you sure?"
Dong Yuanyao nodded affirmatively: "At first we thought those Hu people were from Western Liao, but after tracking them several times, we found that some of them were actually people from Daxia disguised as them."
"Sun Changze and I actually followed them back to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, and have been secretly investigating what they are doing all this time."
"Unfortunately, my abilities are limited, and I don't think it's a good idea to alert the enemy, so I haven't been able to find out anything. That's why I thought of your husband. Perhaps only the professional Jinling Guards can uncover the truth."
Daohua frowned tightly, "Are you saying that the people from the Duke of Wei secretly brought the Western Liao people into the capital?"
Dong Yuanyao nodded.
Daohua took a deep breath and rubbed her temples: "Your news is really unexpected to me. Let me think about it carefully."
"The Duke of Wei's Mansion is one of the few nobles favored by the Emperor. Otherwise, Luo Honghao wouldn't be the commander of the Beijing Guards. Why would they be interacting with the Western Liao people? They even secretly brought people into the capital. What do they want to do?"
Speaking of this, Daohua suddenly remembered the mysterious man who killed Jiang Jinghui on the night of the Lantern Festival.
Daohua pondered for a moment and looked at Dong Yuanyao: "You are right. The contact between the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and the Western Liao people is a big deal. We really can't alert them. Xiao Yeyang will come over tonight. Then you and Sun Changze can talk to him in detail."
Dong Yuanyao nodded. "Okay. Honestly, I didn't expect the Duke of Wei's Mansion to be involved with the Western Liao people. It would be great if we could find evidence to prove their treason. That way, the Dong family wouldn't have to worry anymore."
Daohua: "Bringing people from Western Liao back to Beijing without permission is a serious crime, even if it's not treason. However, there must be solid evidence."
Dong Yuanyao: "Sun Changze has been sending people to monitor the place where the group of Western Liao people settled."
Daohua: "Don't worry, wait for Xiao Yeyang to come over and see what he says."
Dong Yuanyao nodded, then smiled and said, "Yiyi, Sun Changze said that he will be responsible for the business in Xiliang in the future, so that he can take care of my parents more conveniently."
Daohua also smiled: "It seems that Sun Changze really treats you well."
Dong Yuanyao smiled and nodded: "He is very good and has done a lot for me, but there is nothing I can do to help him."
Daohua took her hand and said, "Silly girl, life is long. If he helps you more now, maybe you will help him more in the future. As a couple, you should help and support each other."
Not wanting to talk about unpleasant things anymore, Daohua changed the subject: "By the way, did you know that Jingwan is pregnant? She's going to be a mother."
Dong Yuanyao's eyes lit up: "Really? This is too fast, isn't it?"
Daohua immediately smiled and said, "Your reaction is exactly the same as mine when I first heard the news. So, you and Sun Changze won't leave the capital for the time being. I'll find an opportunity to call Jingwan and Shiyu over so we can have a good reunion."
Dong Yuanyao nodded: "Okay, I haven't seen them for a long time, I miss them so much."
That night, Xiao Yeyang came over and after listening to what Sun Changze and Dong Yuanyao said, he took Sun Changze out without even eating.
However, the two came up empty-handed.
When Sun Changze brought Xiao Yeyang to the place where they were monitoring the Western Liao people, he found that the few people he left behind were all lying in a pool of blood.
"The other party discovered it!"
Xiao Yeyang frowned and looked at the bodies on the ground, then looked at Sun Changze: "These people committed suicide by taking poison during the fight. I guess the people in the Weiguo Mansion don't know that you are the one who is watching them from behind."
Sun Changze hugged his dead cousin with a sad face.
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a while: "Let's find a place to bury it. This is not a place to stay for long. People from the Weiguo Mansion will come here at any time."
