Chapter 408: Chapter 410: Start Planning

Luo Cheng saw this and quickly shook both hands, "How could I be such an ungrateful person? It’s just that I’m afraid you won’t be accustomed to staying in the Capital City and suffer indignities again."

"Not at all." The woman, upon hearing he was not going to abandon her, immediately beamed with joy.

"Let’s go." Luo Cheng took her back to the tent.

Pei Huaian squinted for a moment, then began to organize the army to set out for the Capital City.

By this time, the Capital City was already packed with people, all eagerly awaiting the triumphant return of the Fifth Prince; even the imperial palace was prepared for a grand ceremony.

The Emperor himself stood on the city tower waiting, with civil and military officials standing behind him. The Empress squeezed out a smile with great effort, suppressing the jealousy in her heart.

The princes all wore different expressions—some joyful, some relieved, and others filled with jealousy and hatred.

Pei Huaian rode into the Capital City on a tall horse, to cheers from both sides of the street, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"We welcome the triumphant return of the Fifth Prince." The crowd knelt and cheered in unison.

Pei Huaian glanced at Luo Cheng, signaling him to settle Tang Wan first.

He then led the army straight to the Imperial City.

Shao He, in Anji Hall, heard the clamor of drums and gongs outside and knew Pei Huaian must have returned.

Zhao Yuebei was even more excited, "The Fifth Prince has certainly made the people’s hearts boil this time."

"These bandits would burn, kill, and loot without evil acts undone—the Capital City’s many wealthy merchants have been plundered without exception. Now that the bandits have finally been exterminated, everyone is undoubtedly very excited."

Shao He responded with a smile and casually said, "I plan to sell paternity test papers. I’ll teach you how to use them, and when selling them, you must explain to the customers how to use."

"Test papers? Why does Doctor Shao suddenly want to sell test papers? So many have offered high prices before, and you were never willing to sell." Zhao Yuebei incessantly asked.

Shao He smiled and didn’t answer his question, "I’ll tell you how to use it and how to determine if there’s a parent-child relationship."

Zhao Yuebei was very smart and quickly learned how to operate after being taught a few times.

"Next time you sell medicine, you can mention it casually—with or without intent. It’s best to spread the word as widely as possible. This will greatly help our sales."

"I understand, Doctor Shao." Zhao Yuebei nodded.

Qingxia brought over tea, and Shao He, having questions to ask, pulled her to the window and inquired, "What’s the situation at the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion recently?"

"Ah?" Qingxia was taken aback, not quite catching on, and Shao He patiently asked again.

Only then did Qingxia confirm she had heard correctly. Her mistress was asking about the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion, so she slowly said, "I’ve heard that Old Madam Chu and Liang Weishuang are taking care of the adopted child, but that child is not warming up to them at all, and moreover, his biological parents are trying to take advantage of him to gain benefits from the Chu Mansion."

Now, the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion is in a complete mess; otherwise, Old Madam Chu would have long come to trouble the mistress, how could she let her mistress live so peacefully.

Shao He motioned her to come closer, and Qingxia leaned in as Shao He whispered a few words into her ear.

"Miss, is this really okay?" Qingxia wondered why her mistress wanted her to do this.

Shao He knew her concerns and said earnestly, "You just do as I instructed, okay?"

"Alright then." Qingxia knew the mistress always had her reasons for her actions and didn’t ask any further.

It had been three days since Pei Huaian returned to the Capital City, and she had not seen Pei Huaian for three consecutive days, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.

That evening, when she returned, she did not go directly to her home, but to the neighboring courtyard instead.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man, whom she seldom saw, and upon seeing Shao He, the man was very polite, "Is there something you need, Doctor Shao?"

"I just wanted to ask if your master has returned."

"After the master entered the palace, he has not yet returned," said the middle-aged man truthfully.

Shao He thought of Yun Qian, who had also not been in Anji Hall recently, and must have entered the palace; she guessed it was related to the Consort Ming case.

Returning to the courtyard, Shao He listlessly collapsed onto the stone table, unable to muster any energy.

Seeing her mistress so agitated, Qingxia approached with a smile, "Miss, I heard that the new paternity test papers from Anji Hall are selling well. Indeed, some people have discovered non-biological children."

"This is more accurate and effective than the blood-drop test for paternity," Shao He replied with a forced smile.

Qingxia was about to say more to distract her mistress when Qing Shan happened to come by.

"Miss, a big farce happened at the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion today."

"What farce?" Qingxia asked more anxiously than Shao He.

Qing Shan glanced at her, then turned to Shao He and spoke softly, "It’s said that Old Madam Chu somehow caught the child stealing things from the mansion to sell for his biological parents, and even went to the accounts room to credit silver for his parents."

"After Old Madam Chu and Liang Weishuang learned of this, they made a huge fuss with the child’s birth parents and even threatened to disown him, creating a very laughable scene."

"Worried they might take in another child from elsewhere without gaining any benefit, the Clan Leader of the Chu Family, fearing the Marquis Chu’s impotence would spread across the Capital City again, did not intervene."

Qing Shan paused here, lifting her eyes to glance at the person with a calm face.

Although the mistress was now unrelated to the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion, she was once a part of it.

Though few know of her identity, due to the previous troubles the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion and Shao Zhengru caused at Anji Hall, there were many rumors in the streets to her disadvantage.
