Chapter 1174: Chapter 458: When One Woman Is Sought After by a Hundred Families_4

Master Sun slowly calmed down, feeling that something wasn’t quite right: "Could it be that all five Founding Dukes are interested in my sister? This doesn’t make any sense..."

"Actually, things haven’t felt right from the start, but I was too upset to analyze it calmly."

"The five Founding Dukes have always been low-key and never intervened in the Imperial Court in recent years. Yet, as a senior official of the Horizon Bureau, I shouldn’t be involved in their descendant’s marriage."

"There must be something strange about this!"

In his heart, Master Sun did not want to admit that even if there was nothing strange about it, he would find something strange.

Thus, Master Sun wasted his day, and by the time he realized something was off, it was already evening. He then called out, "Come, make preparations, I’m going to visit Lord Liam."

Two young military officers entered from outside, smiling and asking, "Are you really going to visit Master Liam at this time, sir?"

Owen Bertram was annoyed and asked, "What’s wrong? From your smiles, I see contempt!" The two officers quickly became serious and reported, "At this time, Master Liam should have already gone to one of those famous Gavin Clan houses. We need to find out where he’s staying tonight before we can arrange for you to go."

Owen Bertram rubbed his temples, regretting wasting his time during the day: "Go find out quickly." If this matter is delayed until tomorrow, and Lord Liam enters the palace to inform the Empress, Master Sun might have to wait until the day after tomorrow to meet the Empress.

"Master Liam always says he indulges in song and dance every night. I thought he was just boasting. It turns out I was too young."

About a Shichen (2 hours) later, Master Sun met Lord Liam, who was already slightly drunk and surrounded by beautiful women. Lord Liam generously offered two of the beauties to him, but Master Sun politely declined, causing Lord Liam to burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Finally, after convincing Lord Liam to send the women away, Master Sun brought up the matter at hand. As Lord Liam had always been in the Capital, he had more information than Master Sun and also wondered, "At first, it was just the Duke of Stev who personally entered the palace to ask the Empress to support the marriage. Although the Empress felt that the Duke of Stev’s intention to form an alliance with you seemed to violate the code of the Founding Dukes, the Duke of Stev repeatedly assured her that it was only because Little Duke admired Tabitha and would not use it as an excuse to intervene in politics."

"The Empress, being kind and fond of matchmaking, agreed after some hesitation. Unexpectedly, as soon as I told that fellow Abner Lane, all Five Founding Dukes began asking for the Empress’ support."

"After agreeing to the Duke of Stev, the Empress couldn’t play favorites..."

After Master Liam finished speaking, he looked quietly at Owen Bertram, "By the way, when did Tabitha meet with the Little Dukes? How did all these young men take a fancy to her?"

Master Sun thought to himself, you’re puzzled, and so am I! My sister only accompanied me to the Capital a few times and never had any interactions with the top elites of the Wood Dynasty. Master Sun even suspected that these young fellows had never seen his sister before.

After returning to his residence, Master Sun immediately ordered Andrew Oamond to be brought to him. Andrew Oamond knelt down and apologized, "I have investigated and found that a man named Sucky has a relative who is a steward of the Duke of Stev’s residence."

"Punish him according to the law!" Master Sun just gave this order and did not pay any more attention to the matter, immediately following up with, "I want you to personally investigate something. Why are all the Five Founding Dukes interested in my sister? There must be a reason for this!"

Still kneeling, Andrew Oamond broke out in a cold sweat, "Sir, these are the Five Founding Dukes we are talking about. Although they seem to stay out of politics, their hidden power is terrifying, and I’m afraid...I might mess up the matter."

Owen Bertram stroked his chin and did not blame him, "Get up, I’ll think about this matter again."

"Thank you, sir." Andrew Oamond was not afraid of offending the Five Founding Dukes, but knew that he would definitely not be able to find out the truth and delay his master’s matters.
