Chapter 1724: Chapter 1724: Waiting for Her to Come to Me

"Regardless of the facts, her intuition told her that the daughter of that commander was definitely not a good person!"

"I now know why my mother has been unable to find my father all these years. It seems that Commander Su has hidden what happened in Lotus Commandery from her."

"Should we go directly to the commander’s mansion to ask what happened?"

She asked.

"Shouldn’t we?"

Zhe Jue looked at his own prince, and then at Lin Caisang.

"My lord, if we directly confront them like this, no one will speak the truth, and we might lose any leads in the hands of Su Wan’s family. Miss Lin, perhaps we should think of another strategy?"

Hearing Zhe Jue’s words, Lin Caisang fell silent for a moment.

If, as they suspect, those people had been killed by Su Wan’s daughter, then this woman must be utterly heartless and mad.

To directly get the truth from such a person would be very difficult.

"Since a forceful approach won’t work, let’s try a gentler one!"

She said.

"How do we do that gently?" Zhe Jue asked.

"Zhe Jue, once we arrive at Lotus Commandery, find a pharmacy near the commander’s mansion and purchase it regardless of the cost; I only want that pharmacy!" Lin Caisang instructed.

Opening a new pharmacy would be too slow. She had plenty of silver, so buying an existing one would work just fine.

"That woman’s face is injured, so if that’s the case, I will just wait for her to come to me."

"Alright."

Zhe Jue nodded.

...

Lotus Commandery.

Unlike Yejun, this place was plagued by bandits all year round, and there were few people doing business on the streets, with many shops closed.

Moreover, there were few people strolling the streets, just a sparse handful.

"Why is Lotus Commandery like this?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Caisang was utterly shocked.

"Miss, Lotus Commandery has always been like this. There are very few civilians here, and most are soldiers guarding the city, so it’s normal to see so few people on the streets,"

San explained to Lin Caisang.

Lotus Commandery is one of the poorest in Liang Kingdom, notoriously so.

"Right ahead is Commander Su’s mansion. I know there’s a pharmacy not far from the mansion,"

he pointed and said.

"Then let’s go there," Lin Caisang said.

This was not the time to worry about whether or not there were people on the streets.

"My lord, I’ll go and handle this,"

Zhe Jue walked ahead toward the pharmacy to gather some information.

Meanwhile, Zimo, Lin Caisang, and the three of them sat down in a tea pavilion, where they were the only patrons.

"The people of Lotus Commandery live a hard life, with most staying here because they lack money. As for marrying into the houses here, hardly anyone would want to marry into this place. Most of the wives in people’s homes are bought with all of a family’s savings,"

San spoke to them about the matters of Lotus Commandery.

"Doesn’t the royal court manage things here?" Lin Caisang asked with a frown.

Her uncle was truly ineffective, looking at how such a large commandery had been managed!

"The royal court has already intervened. If it hadn’t, Lotus Commandery would have been deserted long ago," Zimo said.

"Young Master Mo is right. The situation of Lotus Commandery these days is already much more stable than in many years. In the past two years, bandits have seldom broken in, and Man Kingdom also dares not invade rashly,"

San said.

"Those bandits are not from Liang Kingdom?" Lin Caisang asked.
