Chapter 789: Fair Enough

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because those subordinates relied on their ties with Marquis Ji, they would sometimes directly bypass Ji Xiehui and speak to Marquis Jit As a result, Ji Xiehui had yet to finish off all of these subordinates.

However, Ji Xiehui had been lurking by Marquis Ji’s side for so many years and had already used many excuses to eliminate many of these subordinates. The Ji family trusted Ji Xiehui too much. In addition, the excuses that Ji Xiehui had found were very legitimate in the eyes of the Ji family, and they felt that they were all detrimental to the growth of the Ji family. Therefore, the Ji family did not realize that something suspicious was going on.

If the Ji family hadn’t discovered it yet, they could pull in the net now. As long as they set up a proper trap, most of the Ji family’s men would have died. That way, it would be very possible to achieve the goal of uprooting the Ji family.

After all, the only thing she could be sure of was that the person who wrote her the letter knew that Ji Xiehui was on her eldest son’s side.

No matter what, she had to pull the net back.

With this thought in mind, Empress Dowager Yunzi folded the letter again and placed it back into the envelope. She called over another person and instructed, “Send this letter to the Emperor as soon as possible.”

Her eldest son was not a fool. Although this letter only had one sentence, that was more than enough to deduce the plan. Her son should have the same intention as her and immediately pull the net.

“Yes, Your Highness!” That person immediately went to receive the order.

Empress Dowager Yunzi naturally wanted to continue investigating the person who had written to her in Xinyuan County. She now knew that the person was most likely in Xinyuan County, but now that she was about to close the net, she felt a little uneasy. It was odd that someone knew Ji Xiehui was her eldest son’s man. She felt that her top priority now was not to find the person but to return to the capital in case anything else happened.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yunzi decided to return to the capital.

On the other side, after Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had breakfast at their rice noodle shop, they said that they were going out for a walk and might not come back for lunch. Then, they went out to do other things instead.

However, before they went out, Sifu was afraid that they would fall sick because there was no sun today. It was cloudy and much colder than yesterday. He insisted that they wear their thick clothes before they went out.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had no choice but to add more layers to their attire.

Xue Yan was still alright. After all, he was almost eight years old, and still had some height to support him.

However, Jiang Yue was only that small. She was so chubby that it was difficult for her to stretch out her two small hands.

At this moment, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were sitting in the carriage they had hired in town. The carriage was about to take them to the county.

Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Yue tried hard to reach out her small hand again. The clothes were so thick that she could not even grab her hands together.

It was very warm, but it was too inconvenient to move around like this.

Because she was wearing too many clothes, she could only waddle like a penguin.

Jiang Yue looked up at the sky in defeat.

Seeing her like this, Xue Yan held back his laughter. He couldn’t help but cough dryly and cover it up.

However, he wasn’t any better. He was wearing many layers as well and his steps felt heavy.

When they arrived at the county and got off the carriage, the first thing Jiang Yue did was not investigate anything. Instead, she went to an empty alley, entered the space, and took off two cotton coats for herself.

Xue Yan was originally following behind Jiang Yue, but after entering the alley, Jiang Yue seemed to have disappeared. He was startled for a moment and then shook his head. Then, he stopped in his spot and waited for Jiang Yue to appear again.

Jiang Yue immediately felt her limbs become nimble after losing two layers of clothes..
