It had been a few days since Lu Yi was back. Besides being invited by General Qi to visit his residence, there were no other important events to attend. One day, Cen Fu arrived looking all dirty and tired. These past few days were definitely not easy for him, having to travel all over places, and finally safely arrived at Cengang only to find out Lu Yi had gone back to Xinhe City.
Once he arrived at Xinhe City, at the post station, he didn’t see them there either. After asking around, he found out they had gone to Chun Residence.
“Brother, you’re finally back!” Cen Shou was the first to greet him, but immediately noticed his dark expression, “What’s wrong? Did something happen in the Capital?”
Cen Fu gave all his belongings to him, asking: “Where is the Young Master?”
“I’ll take you there!”
Sensing that something was wrong, Cen Shou didn’t dare to ask much, or waste time, he quickly took Cen Fu to Lu Yi’s room, halfway down the corridor met Jinxia and YangYue. Cen Fu nodded his head at them, and then walked past them.
Jinxia noticed his expression, she couldn’t help but think if something had happened, something that could possibly harm Lu Yi, but knowing him she shouldn’t be worried about him at all, because she knows he will definitely be able to handle it. Furthermore, Lu Yi will definitely keep it to himself. Jinxia hid in the corner outside the room, and watched Cen Fu enter the room. Cen Shou put down his brother’s stuff and also quietly walked towards the windows.
Inside the room, Cen Fu started reporting to Lu Yi: “There’s no documentation regarding to why Yang ChengWan went to prison 10 years ago, but I did found out it was related to another prisoner, but there’s no certainty or information, so I couldn’t confirm it.”
“Nothing?”
“Some people said he neglected his duty and let a prisoner escape; another said he took bribes to deliberately let the prisoner escape. When he was put in prison, he was immediately punished, which resulted in his broken leg. After that, I’m unsure why but his arrest was claimed to be false, and he was released.”
“What’s the prisoner’s name?” Lu Yi asked. Suddenly, he heard a movement outside the room, after a moment of quiet, he signalled Cen Fu, shook his head, then continued to ask, “Who is the prisoner?”
Cen Fu understood what he meant, knowing there are people outside eavesdropping, he loudly answered his question: “It’s just a commoner, before going to prison, he had a little interaction with Yang ChengWan, who was accused of conspiring with criminals.” Knowing someone is outside, he didn’t dare to speak to the truth.
“It seems that Superior Yang was indeed wrongly accused. This problem shouldn’t be brought up again.” Lu Yi laughing said, “When you visit the Capital, how was my father’s health?”
“The Old Master’s health is quite good. The Second Master asks you to hurry home, otherwise the Old Master will be very angry, and he will have to endure all the yelling.” Cen Fu deliberately let out a laugh while his eyes still fixated on the door, because he doesn’t know who is outside.
Lu Yi laughed: “I haven’t been home in a long time, it must be difficult for him. Come here, let’s enjoy a cup of tea while chatting. That’s right, the tea water seems cold, how about you go get some hot water.” As he said that, he glanced towards the door.
Cen Fu got the point, picked up the teapot and walked towards the door.
Upon hearing Cen Fu open the door and call for Cen Shou to come over, Jinxia, who was outside, quickly hid in the corner of the wall. Afraid of being caught by Cen Shou for eavesdropping, she shyly walked away.
“Young Master, you knew who was outside?” Cen Fu asked.
Lu Yi sighed and said: “The thing I told you to investigate, don’t ever reveal it to Jinxia or anyone else, Cen Shou is not as calm as you, so don’t tell him.”
“Beizhe understands.”
“What was the prisoner’s name?” Lu Yi asked again.
“This is where it get complicated, the prisoner was a bandit, probably came to the Capital hoping to find some luck, he kidnapped Shao Qing’s wife and son, an official of Dong Dong court, after receiving the ransom money, he killed the wife and the child, and he was later arrested by Yang ChengWan. After that, this person somehow disappeared, and all the accusations fell on Yang ChengWan, which was later found to be false and he was released. He lost his leg due to false accusation, which made everything very strange.” Cen Fu paused for a while, then cautiously said in a low voice, “The strangest thing was, at that time, Yang ChengWan and Shen Lian held important positions under the Old Master, but somehow they both got in trouble.”
*[Refer back to chapter 57, where Shao Qing’s kidnapping case was mentioned by Yang ChengWan when Lu Yi asked what is his relationship with Jinxia, and he said Jinxia is the criminal’s daughter, TN]
Lu Yi’s heart slowly sank: That year, his father had already become Supreme Leader of JinYiWei, and the only person who always caused trouble for him was Yan Song. Could Yang ChengWan’s matter be related to Yan Song?”
“How much have you investigated the Nanjing case?” Lu Yi continued to ask.
“Back then when Xia Zhangqing’s family was wiped out, there weren’t many people left behind, those with some kind of connection to them also went into hiding. I could only find an old aunt, who was a servant at their house. The Xia family was indeed unlucky, misfortune hit continuously. Xia Zhangqin had a daughter, but she went missing during the lantern festival in early autumn of that year.”
*[Reminder: Xia Zhangqin is Mrs. Shen’s sister’s husband. Xia Zhangqin is the eldest son of Xia Yan, who was killed by Yan Song’s scheme, TN]
Hearing this, Lu Yi’s face immediately stiffened, after a while, he asked: “Autumn lantern festival?”
“That’s right, according to the servant, during the autumn lantern festival, the little girl went missing. Everyone guessed that the child must have been kidnapped, because no matter how hard the Xia family tried to find her, they couldn’t. Not long after, the Xia family fired all the maids and servants.”
“How old was the child?” Lu Yi’s voice started to change.
“The child went missing around six or seven years old, if she was alive now, she should be around seventeen – eighteen years old.” Cen Fu sighed, “Come to think of it, being kidnapped at that time isn’t a bad thing, it technically saved her life. If she was there, she might have died too.”
Lu Yi didn’t speak for a long time, as if he fell deep in his own thoughts.
“Young Master — Young Master.” Cen Fu called out for him several times, “There is one more thing, when I was about to leave the Capital, the Old Master told to me to pass on his words, in the palace court, there is someone reporting Young Master taking bribes, and defending a traitor, he said to be careful!”
“How did his Majesty react when he saw the report? What did he say?”
“His Majesty did not react, he threw the report aside, but called the Old Master to clarify it.” Cen Fu said, “Old Master said the person who wrote this report is using it as a rock to test the water, as long as his Majesty doesn’t believe it, then they will realize how his Majesty treats the Lu family.”
“Who this person is, I already guessed.”
All of this is happening according to Lu Yi’s plan. The person who’s the closest with his Majesty is his father, not him, therefore without his father, Lu Yi’s actions will be thoroughly assessed. Yan Shifan wants to challenge the Lu family, he will definitely attack Lu Yi first.
After hesitating for a moment, he said: “Young Master, I can see that Old Master’s health is slowly becoming bad, he already started wearing a thick jacket during this weather. The Second Master secretly told me, that these past few days, the Old Master hasn’t been able to sleep well, and he often saw him sitting alone in the hall.”
Lu Yi furrowed his brow: “As soon as the matter here is settled, we will go back to the Capital.”
Cen Fu nodded and retreated, leaving Lu Yi alone in the room. Even though he sat quietly, his heart felt like it was being hit by a stormy wave.
Previously, when he saw Mrs. Shen’s attitude towards Jinxia, and Yang ChengWan’s connection to the Lin family, Lu Yi have vaguely guessed the connection between all of them. He knew this matter wasn’t as simple as he thought.
After hearing Cen Fu’s report, it just so happened that Xia Zhangqing lost a daughter some time ago. This could be a ruse to save the life of their daughter. Intentionally telling people to take the child away, reporting her as missing, and then secretly handing her over to Yang Chengwan.
Jinxia was adopted by the Yuan family, around five or six years old. This is a match to the missing daughter of the Xia family.
With a heavy heart, Lu Yi closed his eyes. He’s secretly wishing that Jinxia has a close relationship with the Lin family, but hoping she is not Xia family’s daughter. All the facts right now are pointing in that direction.
Someone knocked on the door.
Not wanting others to see his condition, Lu Yi took a deep breath, slowly calmed his mind, and then said: “Come in.”
The door was pushed open, Jinxia poked her head in, smiled sweetly at him, then jumped in: “Are you done talking to Cen Fu? Did something happen in the Capital? I noticed his expression, it didn’t look good.”
“It’s fine, just a small problem.” Lu Yi reached out to her, “You’re here, I have something to ask you.”
Jinxia took his hand, then sat obediently beside him: “What’s wrong?”
Lu Yi didn’t even say anything, he gripped Jinxia’s hand tightly in his palm, then turned her hand, when he turned the back of her hand there was a faint scar, then asked: “Where is this wound from?”
Jinxia glanced at him, laughingly said: “By fireworks. When I was little, along the street from my house, there was a shop owned by the Wang family, the richest person in the area. When it was New Year, he used to sell fireworks to children. At that time, I didn’t have any money, so I could only jealously watch them from afar. Then when i came forward, they said I was in their way, and all the pushing and pulling, a firework fell on my hand. When I came home, my mother treated the wound, but I still got punished.”
Suddenly, Lu Yi’s eyes were getting watery, afraid that Jinxia might see it, he quickly tilted his head and hugged Jinxia tightly.
“You suffered quite a bit as a child, didn’t you?” He asked.
Jinxia felt very comfortable in his arms, she shook her head: “Not at all. Now that I think about it, those days were fun. My mother said that I had just been hit twice and already started running around the yard. She was afraid I would fall, so she have to use sweet words to calm me down.”
Remembering this, she giggled in his arms.
“Your mother and father love you very much.” Lu Yi said lightly.
“Of course!” Jinxia wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, “That’s why I always thought I wanted to become a constable, so I can earn a little more money. My mother really likes money.”
Lu Yi heard it, his hand stroked his hair slowly, after a while, he asked again: “Are there any problems in the shop?”
“There used to be, when I was fighting for a place to sell, there was someone who beat my father until he couldn’t get up from his bed. At that time, my kung fu wasn’t as good, and when my mother went to buy medicine. I took out a dagger and ran out, I only thought about taking revenge for my father! Luckily on the way, I met my Master, he pulled me to the side and calmed me down.” Jinxia laughed.
Lu Yi who heard this, hugged her even tighter, said in a low voice: “Stupid child, even if you want to take revenge, you can’t hurt yourself either.”
Hearing the changes in his voice, Jinxia slightly released himself from her embrace, carefully looked at his face, saw under his eyes there was a line of water, and she became surprised. She hadn’t expected that he would worry so much about her: “If I knew you’d be like this, I wouldn’t have told you about it. These things happened when I was young, you don’t have to worry.”
She buried her head in his shoulder, Lu Yi’s heart was very heavy, but he couldn’t say anything to her, could only hug her tighter.
Jinxia didn’t understand what was going on with him, but continued to calm him down: “You already know, I am a very lucky person, I can survive any danger. I’m not that stupid to hurt myself, don’t worry!”
***
A few hours before night fell, general Qi sent a message to Lu Yi inviting him to his residence.
Jinxia didn’t have anything to do, she continued to think about how strange Lu Yi was today, but she couldn’t say anything. After a while, she ran to find Cen Fu.
Not forgetting to bring the plate of pork that YangYue just finished frying with her, she went to knock on Cen Fu’s door.
“Come in.”
Cen Fu was talking to Cen Shou in the room.
“The meat smells great!” Cen Shou saw that Jinxia didn’t react at all, he stepped forward to take a piece of meat and eat it, feeling that the meat was still hot, “Da Yang just finished frying it and you’ve already brought it here. You’re very fast!”
“Watch out!” Jinxia laughed sweetly, “Brother Cen Fu, you should try it, it’s very rare for Da Yang to cook this.”
While she was talking, Cen Shou had already eaten a few more pieces:: “Indeed this meat….is delicious. Brother, you may not know this, before…. we eat fish until we’re scared of seeing one.”
It’s been a while since they’ve seen each other. Cen Fu was worried Cen Shou won’t be able to match with Jinxia’s personality, but seeing the two of them today, it was an unexpected turn for Cen Fu.
“Brother, let’s eat!” Cen Shou urged him.
“Oh.”
Cen Fu raised his chopsticks and took one piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
“The more you chew, the better it tastes, right?” Jinxia sat nearby, looking at Cen Fu saying, “Brother Cen Fu, why did you go back to the Capital?”
He immediately knows Jinxia is here to dig for some news. Cen Fu shook his head, laughed, and remained quiet.
Cen Shou answered her “My brother didn’t tell me either, do you expect him to tell you?”
It had been a few days since Lu Yi was back. Besides being invited by General Qi to visit his residence, there were no other important events to attend. One day, Cen Fu arrived looking all dirty and tired.
