After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

After reading the letter, Yin Mo's face turned extremely gloomy.

He slammed his fist on the table. "When Yuan Xuan, the prefect of Hongfeng County, died in prison, I sent officials to investigate. I never imagined that these traitorous dogs would keep me in the dark for so long!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "What a good subject of mine!"

Yin Cheng asked timidly, "Brother, don't you doubt the authenticity of this letter?"

"I never doubt what you give me," Yin Mo asked. "Where did you find this letter?"

Yin Cheng was flattered by his brother's sudden trust and confessed honestly, "I was looking for the ball for Pearl, but I found this in a crack in the wall."

Yin Mo said, "It seems that Pearl really is our family's lucky star."

When it comes to praising his son, Yin Cheng has a lot to say: "Isn't that right? Our Pearl is so well-behaved and cute, the cutest in the whole world."

"Go have fun," Yin Mo instructed. "Remember, don't tell anyone about this."

Yin Cheng reached out his hand.

The older brother asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Yin Cheng said matter-of-factly, "Give me the money, six thousand taels."

The older brother nodded, without asking why, "Alright, cash or banknotes?"

"Of course, it's silver notes," Yin Cheng said. "Six thousand taels of silver in cash, where am I supposed to find someone to carry that?"

Yin Mo casually opened the brocade box on the table and handed over a stack of silver notes, "Count them yourself."

Yin Cheng didn't stand on ceremony with his brother, "We'll get it back in a while. It's our family's money anyway, it won't run away."

The older brother waved his hand, "No need to pay me back." He was extremely generous, "Consider it your allowance."

"Hey!" Yin Cheng stuffed the silver notes into his pocket more naturally, and ran away as fast as he could, afraid that his brother would change his mind.

Only after Yin Cheng's footsteps faded from sight did Bai Yuchen chuckle and ask, "Xiao Mo thinks this suicide note is genuine. Is it truly credible because your younger brother found it, or because this mansion was once Yuan Xuan's old residence?"

"Lord Bai, sometimes you don't need to be so clever." Yin Mo toyed with the wooden plaque. "What do you think this thing could be?"

Bai Yuchen shook his head and said, "I can't tell, but someone who can write a letter in blood shouldn't leave behind something useless."

Yin Mo said, "It looks like a clue left by Yuan Xuan's son."

"We'll find out eventually." Bai Yuchen stepped forward and pulled the person into his arms. "Once this matter is settled and we return to the capital, it will be a do-or-die situation."

Yin Mo whispered intimately in the man's ear, "With you here, I have nothing to fear."

……

Yin Cheng searched along the way for a long time but couldn't find the pearl's cloth ball. Just as he was stroking his chin, considering whether to have someone uproot the garden, he suddenly heard a light footstep.

He slipped into the shadows, only to see someone jump onto the wall and sneak into the courtyard.

Yin Cheng followed behind the man and found him very strange. He didn't seem like a thief, nor did he seem to be looking for anything. Instead, he seemed to be observing the situation of the house.

Just as this person was about to sneak into Lin Nian's courtyard, Yin Cheng coughed.

Upon hearing the noise, the man immediately left.

Yin Cheng emerged from the shadows, gazing thoughtfully at the departing figure.

Could it be that Tian Hai discovered him? No, the people Tian Hai sent to follow him were all of average martial arts skills. Even if they knew his identity was questionable, they would never have followed him here.

Who exactly is this person?

Yin Cheng was still pondering what this person's purpose was when Lin Nian opened the door. He exclaimed in surprise, "Ah Cheng, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Yin Cheng hugged his wife and kissed her. "Someone's come to find out about us. I'll go check it out."

Be careful.

"I know, don't worry."

After the man left, Lin Nian touched her slightly swollen pink lips and ran happily to the kitchen to get some snacks for Pearl.

Aside from the emperor's secret guards, the mansion only had a few men who did cleaning and cooking. They were hired long-term laborers and did not stay overnight at the mansion.

The household affairs were handled by Xiao Jiu'er.

Xiao Jiu'er originally wanted to go to the brokerage to buy some servants to serve him, but Lin Nian thought that if the man secretly came back to see him at night and did something outrageous, it wouldn't be good for the servants to see him.

Lin Nian didn't ask any servants to attend to her, and neither did the emperor.

According to the emperor, he had been served in the palace for most of his life, and now that he was out of the palace, he wanted to try things out himself, which would be a good experience.

Little Jiu'er had no idea about the complicated thoughts in the minds of these two couples; she just thought they were experiencing life.

On the other side, after hearing the report from the secret guards, the emperor chuckled: "It seems that Pang Hong is getting restless. He must have done a lot of bad things. The slightest thing can frighten him into a state of paranoia."

There are so many empty houses in Hongfeng County, yet they chose the former governor's old residence. No matter how brainless Pang Hong is, he would still send someone to investigate the details.

Bai Yuchen handed her husband a cup of tea, not mentioning official business, but instead asked, "Want to go for a walk tonight?"

Yin Mo said, "Okay, let's invite Niannian and Pearl together."

Bai Yuchen rarely remained silent, pursing his lips.

Yin Mo teased, "Seriously, City Lord Bai? You don't actually want to have a real, satisfying battle with me outside, do you?"

Bai Yuchen was a little annoyed, his ears turning red. "Xiao Mo, you are the emperor, you can't do this."

"I insist." Yin Mo pouted. "I am the emperor, what I say goes!"

Bai Yuchen chuckled and tapped her husband's cheek with her fingertip. Just as she was about to get closer to her husband, a head with a small bun suddenly appeared.

Pearl suddenly appeared out of nowhere, craning his little head and calling out in a clear, crisp voice, "Uncle Emperor, Fish!"

Pearl held a glass cup in his hands and carefully placed it on the table. "Gao Gao."

Yin Mo quickly went to take it, placed the glass cup down, and pinched Pearl's soft, chubby cheeks. "Pearl, what brings you here?"

Pearl's voice was childish and her pronunciation was unclear, "Gao Gao, made by Little Daddy, for Uncle Huang and Yu Yu to eat."

"Thank you, darling." Yin Mo kissed Pearl's cheek, utterly delighted. He turned to Bai Yuchen and said, "Let's have one too."

Bai Yuchen said, "Xiao Mo, these things should be left to nature."

Yin Mo pouted, full of doubt about her man's profession, "A miracle doctor, huh?"

Bai Yuchen: "..."

On the other side, Yin Cheng followed the man all the way to the back gate of the prefect's mansion.

He immediately understood. Just as he was about to go back and tell his brother, he turned his head and saw his brother's bodyguard.

Yin Cheng: "..."

With his brother's brain, there's no need for him to go to such lengths.

He paused, silently changed direction, and returned to the Tian family gambling den with six thousand taels of silver.

Tian Hai looked at the dozen or so silver notes and his face scrunched up like a chrysanthemum with a smile. "I knew you could do it, Brother Da Hu."

"I have lived up to your expectations, elder brother." Yin Cheng clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Tian Hai smiled and put the silver notes into the brocade box. "This Blood Blade Gang not only has a large number of members, but they are all skilled in martial arts. I wonder how you, Brother Da Hu, managed to get the money?"
