After saying that, he drove Yi Zhen back.
Yi Zhen bowed and left. When he stepped out of the yard, his face was calm, but in fact there was a thin layer of sweat on his back. It was not visible through his outer clothes, and his inner clothes were wet and stuck to his skin.
But Yi Zhen didn’t care at this time. He showed a smile, knowing that he had passed the test of his father and there were no questions in his answer.
No one knows how much preparation and thinking Yi Zhen had to do before he could respond in such a way that was neither humble nor overbearing.
Yi Zhen suppressed his impulse and returned to his residence before opening his kit.
There is a piece of paper in the kit with the identities of several people written on it.
Mi Songbu, a native of Fengxia City, is the owner of Mi’an Academy. The younger brother of scholar Mi Songhan and the second brother of Concubine Mi. The Mi family gave birth to a spiritual son this year, Mi Liuyu Nai, the eldest daughter of Mi Songbu’s fourth brother, and she has been sent to Lingzhou by name.
Mi Songbu’s wife, Yunshi, gave birth to two legitimate sons and daughters… It is said that his legitimate daughter was bedridden for a long time and could not go out all the year round. Her name was Mi August.
Yi Zhen was stunned when he saw the name ‘Mi August’.
Mi August?
He looked at it twice more uncertainly to make sure he saw it correctly.
This information made Yi Zhen nervous and excited.
Looking further down, there are some ‘rumors’ about this scholarly daughter.
The so-called long-term bedridden illness is false and is just a cover-up for the scandal of this legitimate daughter.
The source of the news came from the Sun family, who was also in Fengxia City. This Sun family was also a powerful and pro-emperor faction, and was a newly promoted imperial merchant. It’s interesting to say that the Sun family also has a spiritual son, Sun Yaole, who had a lot of interactions with ‘Mi August’ in the past.
Investigation also showed that the Mi family had indeed settled in Yongmengxiang, Beiyuan City, several generations ago.
Yi Zhen continued to look back and saw several more names.
Sun Yingxian, Sun Yaole’s elder brother, had intended to marry Mi August.
Lu Pi, a royal craftsman, was once the master craftsman of the Royal Mountain Refining Garden with Liu Shan. Liu Shan made a mistake and injured the crown prince, and was dismissed from the imperial family. Fortunately, he escaped and returned home. In fact, the mistake was not caused by Liu Shan, but framed by Lu Pi.
Now Liu Shan is the chief craftsman of the Night Tour Temple in Beiyuan City. He is the master craftsman of the Night Tour statue, which is highly regarded. He has close friendship with Mi August, Mi Feixue, Zuo Si and others.
After Yi Zhen read it, his mood did not calm down for a long time.
He called his servants, “Go and find out if there are people from the Mi family, Sun family, and Lu Pi in the accompanying team.”
The servants came back not long after leaving and gave a positive answer. However, the residence where these people were arranged was remote. On the way to Beiyuan City, their carriage was also behind them, so Yi Zhen never noticed it.
Now that I think about it, this is probably my father’s arrangement.
