At this time, Luofeng Tang had also finished reading. He put down the note, took the hot tea, and said, "This is from Xiaotaohong to you?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes, haha, this Zhuge Hui, he is impetuous and disordered. He actually brought two young masters as bargaining chips to coerce the son of Anlehou,"

"Not only has she angered the Crown Prince, but also offended the Duke and Duchess of Anle. The two older children were taken by the Duchess of Anle to be raised personally, while the younger one was sent to Lady Zhang, the wife of the Crown Prince. As for Zhuge Hui herself, she has been confined to the inner courtyard, forbidden to leave even a step for three months, and no one is allowed to visit her, essentially isolating her from the world!" she said.

Luofeng Tang shook her head slightly: "The Zhuge family is in trouble now, and the Anle Hou Mansion is at the center of the storm. Many eyes are watching it, so naturally the Anle Hou Mansion dare not make a single mistake."

Yang Ruqing also nodded in agreement, saying: "As for Zhuge Hui, I haven't even met her face to face. There is no hatred between us at all."

"The main problem is that Zhuge Qing and his wife are simply clueless. I've already warned them twice before, but instead of heeding my words, they became even more spiteful and vengeful. They even tried to kidnap our Chen'er."

"At first, when Qian Shi took revenge, Chen'er and I were separated for seven years. Now, in this place, I am like a frightened bird, and I cannot tolerate anything that might harm Chen'er. I must absolutely, absolutely crush it in its cradle."

“As for those who harbor ill intentions towards Chen'er, I will certainly not show mercy. So, Zhuge Hui, consider yourself unlucky! Who told her to fail to stop her mother and younger brother? Now that she's implicated, it serves her right!”

Seeing her slightly agitated expression as she spoke, Luó Fēng Tǎng put down his teacup and reached out to take her hand.

"Don't get excited, our Chener is back. From now on, he will be safe and sound, staying with me. We'll never be apart again." He comforted her.

Yang Ruqing took a deep breath, “Well, times have changed. We are now capable of protecting Chen’er. Besides, Chen’er is no longer an infant. This child is mature beyond his years and quite resourceful. He also has bodyguards by his side. He will definitely be safe.”

Luo Fengtang pulled her into his arms, "Trust us, and trust Chen'er. Let the past be the past, and from now on, we won't mention Qian Shi again."

"Mm." Yang Ruqing replied softly.

Thinking of something, she looked up at him and said, "By the way, when I sent Xiaotaohong to Anle Hou's mansion before, I had promised her,"

“As long as I can drive a wedge between Zhuge Hui and the Crown Prince, causing Zhuge Hui to fall out of favor, then the Anle Hou Mansion’s power will be unusable by the Zhuge family. Then Xiaotaohong's mission will be complete.”

"Then I will rescue her younger brother from that deviant old pervert in the Qianhu Hutong, and return his freedom to him." she said.

Luo Fengtang said, "There's no need for you to get involved in this. I'll take care of it tomorrow. The eunuch Xu by the Second Prince's side is good friends with that Wang Gonggong from back in the day. Give him some silver, and also buy two young male attendants from the Chu Qin Pavilion to send along."

Yang Ruqing smiled with relief and said, “You handle it well, I’m at ease. After rescuing Xiaotaohong's younger brother, send him to our family's brothel to be cared for by Huajie and Yunniang for the time being.”

“As for Xiaotaohong, I’ll ask her what she wants. If she wishes to stay at the Duke of Anle's manor and continue as the prince’s concubine, I won’t force her.”

"If she wants to leave, to run away with her brother, I will make arrangements for it." she said.

If you've made a promise, you must keep it. This is the most basic principle of being a person in the world.

Although the Zhuge family's imprisonment due to the Black Lotus Cult was somewhat "insider information," during this major crackdown on the Black Lotus Cult in the capital, another person also got caught up in it.

That person was none other than the recluse Princess Qi Aoshan, the widowed ninth princess!

When Yang Ruqing heard the news from Luofengtang that day, she was completely shocked.

"How could this be? How could the Ninth Princess possibly associate with members of the Black Lotus Sect? She's a princess of Great Qi, a member of the royal family! How could she possibly be seen with those Black Lotus Cultivators who constantly spout about overthrowing the Great Qi Dynasty?"

Yang Ruqing asked in astonishment, feeling like her brain wasn't working right.

Luo Fengtang said, "When the news reached the Imperial Study, His Highness the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, Grand Tutor Zhang, and I, we all reacted much like you are now. We all thought it was a mistake, but the fact is the fact."

“What exactly is going on? Tell me everything in detail.” Yang Ruqing said, helping Luo Fengtang remove his outer cloak. She shook it off and hung it on the nearby clothes rack.

Then, he led Luofeng Tang to sit on the warm kang and talked.

Luofeng Tang organized his thoughts and said, "Our soldiers found suspicious people in the city. They went up to question them, but the other party refused to be questioned. The two sides fought."

“This move revealed that the opponent was highly skilled, killing five of our soldiers in a row. However, he was also injured and escaped.”

Our soldiers followed the bloodstains along the road all the way to the Ninth Princess's mansion, but the Ninth Princess refused to let the soldiers enter.

When the two sides couldn't come to an agreement, that person tried to escape through the back gate. However, Princess Nine's mansion had long been surrounded by a tight net.

“The moment the man poked his head out, he was captured. It really was the same one who had fought with the soldiers before.”

Hearing this, Yang Ruoheng couldn't help but wonder, "Even if someone behaved badly and killed soldiers, perhaps he fled for other reasons. Is this related to the Black Lotus Sect?"

"Unless, of course, something belonging to the Black Lotus Sect is found on them—a mark, a symbol, or anything like that." she said.

>

"That's right, it was because we found relevant items on this person that we dared to conclude that this person is indeed from the Black Lotus Sect."

And judging from the insignia on him, within the Black Lotus sect, he was likely not just an ordinary believer, but probably a small leader, perhaps a sub-leader or something like that.

Yang Ruoqing nodded. "If I saw the token, I'd definitely be able to tell his rank within the Black Lotus Sect. As you know, Xiaoyu is the Saintess, and she told me all this."

As for Xiaoyu's affairs, Yang Ruqing had naturally told Luofeng Tang long ago.

The fact that the Saint of the Black Lotus Church was in their home was a secret shared between the two.

"Have you investigated? What is this person's purpose for sneaking into the capital? Could the assassination plot on the new emperor's coronation day be true?" Yang Ruocheng immediately asked.

Luo Fengtang shook his head, “That man’s tongue was incredibly tight. No matter what torture we used, he wouldn’t say a word.”
