Capítulo 947: Chapter 946: The Notorious Duo
Yan Er looked at Ah Jiu’s dismissive expression and sighed. Such is the child of the Imperial family, truly unaware of the world’s perils, so capricious.
“Hold onto the power you should have, but don’t take unnecessary risks. Otherwise, how can the people around you withstand the Empress Dowager’s wrath?” This is the apple of the Empress Dowager’s eye.
Seeing him invoke the Royal Mother, Ah Jiu’s expression softened and he said, “Rest assured, I know what I’m doing.”
“As long as you know, then you can tell me, have you found anything? Is Zhao Mingjun an idiot? Losing something important and not conducting a full-city search? Allowing people in his residence to leave unscathed?” Yan Er was very puzzled.
Ah Jiu showed a hint of sarcasm: “He probably hasn’t realized the item is missing yet.”
Yan Er’s eyes widened. Could Zhao Mingjun really be that stupid?
Ah Jiu took a sip of tea and was about to speak when Yuan Ye, standing at the door, exclaimed with joy, “Master, the lady has returned.”
Ah Jiu quickly put down the tea in his hand and stood up. Sure enough, Wufu walked in from outside, though her expression didn’t look too good.
“Why were you delayed for so long? Was there a problem?” Ah Jiu asked with a frown.
Yan Er listened to this, his doubtful gaze shifting back and forth between the two, pointing at them, he said, “You two?”
“I was delayed for a while, but nothing major.” Wufu took out an item that Ah Jiu had placed with her and handed it to him, asking, “Has Chi Yi returned?”
Ah Jiu looked at Yuan Ye.
Yuan Ye immediately replied, “Miss, Chi Yi and the others are in the front yard.”
“Alright, I’ll go take a look.” Wufu immediately turned around and went out.
Seeing this, Ah Jiu gave Yuan Ye a look asking, what happened?
Wufu came and went quickly, and Yan Er blinked at Ah Jiu, asking, “You wouldn’t be telling me, that girl is involved too, right?”
“Is there a problem?”
Yan Er chuckled, “Are you two planning to be a pair of robbers?”
Ah Jiu glared at him, only to flip through the things on the table, and Yan Er curiously looked over.
“Want a look?” Ah Jiu smiled as he handed the items over.
Yan Er jumped up, stepping back two paces, “I don’t want to, absolutely, definitely not! I have some things to do, I’m leaving!” Saying that, without caring what Ah Jiu said, he hurried out like a panicked chicken.
Did they take him for a fool? Knowing those secrets would be like boarding a pirate ship!
He still had a bright future ahead, with countless beautiful landscapes to see!
Ah Jiu snorted, glanced at the things on the table, and thought of Wufu’s unhappy expression, his brows furrowing again.
Yuan Ye soon returned to report.
“What happened?”
Yuan Ye said, “It seems Miss encountered members of the Wu Family among the female guests, and she sent someone to investigate a girl from the Wen Family named Wen Yanfang. It appears the Wen Family received some information regarding Miss and her mother.”
Ah Jiu asked again, “Where is she now?”
“Miss asked me to inform you that she has returned to the yard first.”
Ah Jiu acknowledged with a sound, asking, “What do you think of the Wu Family’s affairs?”
Yuan Ye thought for a moment and said, “Depends on what you think, Master.”
“Oh?”
“If Miss were to be a daughter of an Official’s Family, although her status still falls short, it is still better than being a commoner,” Yuan Ye said cautiously.
Ah Jiu sneered, “She doesn’t need such vain embellishments. Nor do I.”
“But regarding the Empress Dowager…”
“I have a sense of proportion,” Ah Jiu said, throwing the things on the table to him, “You handle it.”
Yuan Ye watched his hurried steps and sighed.
