Yu Youyao shook her head. “I’ll only do what I can to give the refugees a place to live. The future is up to them.”

She was not Buddha and did not have the ambition to cut off her flesh to feed the eagle.

It was better to teach someone how to fish than to give them fish. She had already done her best to find local silkworm farmers and teach the refugees how to raise silkworms, fish, plant, print, embroider, and so on.

Even the sweet potato vines that grew into seedlings were prioritized for the refugees to cultivate.

They even found locals, who entered the refugee camps to help the refugees learn the local customs and people’s lifestyles, integrating them into Liaodongs life.

What had to be done had been done.

How they lived was their own business.

“I’ve underestimated you.” Yin Huaixi smiled. Once a person invested more energy in certain matters, they would care more. He thought that Yu Youyao was the same.

After all, she had always been clear about grat.i.tude and grudges. She was soft-hearted and valued relationships.

Yu Youyao did not say anything else and only said, “Chun Xiao is still waiting outside. Hurry up and go to The Green House.”

The servants in The Green House were all people who had served Yin Huaixi in the Yu Residence previously. They were originally Yin Huaixi’s own people.

The decorations in the courtyard were a little similar to those in the capital. The tools, decorations, and so on in the house were all used by him in the past.

By the time Yin Huaixi finished washing up, the small kitchen had already prepared a few light and delicious dishes.

Yu Youyao even personally cooked a simple sea cuc.u.mber medicinal soup. It was brewed with medicinal herbs such as ginseng and wolfberries. It had the effect of strengthening the foundation and nurturing the essence, removing fatigue.

He ate two sea cuc.u.mbers a day for three to four years in a row. Yin Huaixi still couldn’t accept this kind of thing that was red and had thorns that looked like rust.

However, under Yu Youyao’s expectant gaze, he could already eat without changing his expression while praising, “The sea cuc.u.mber is soft and plump.

It’s fresh and sweet in your mouth, and the abalone is delicious and smooth. The two complement each other, making the soup fresh and not greasy in your mouth. It’s rich and mellow. It’s really delicious.”

Yu Youyao chuckled. Of course, she knew that he didn’t mean what he said.

Every time Yin Huaixi saw sea cuc.u.mbers, he clearly despised them to death. His entire body was filled with rejection, but he still pretended that nothing had happened. It was too interesting.

Yin Huaixi braced himself and finished the two sea cuc.u.mbers in one gulp. He felt his entire body go numb. He took two mouthfuls of rice before suppressing the strange feeling that kept surging into his stomach and throat.

Sea cuc.u.mbers were actually not bad. The texture was even unique.

Those who did not like to eat sea cuc.u.mbers were definitely not afraid because it was not delicious, but because its appearance was really unacceptable and incompetent. They could not muster the courage to eat it.

After Yin Huaixi finished his meal, the two of them took a walk in the courtyard to digest their food.

Yin Huaixi asked about what had happened in Xiangping recently.

Yu Youyao recounted everything that had happened after she arrived in Xiangping. “… According to Madam Zhangs confession, the government office summoned those who had interacted more with her after Liu Dagan’s death to the government office to be interrogated one by one. Coupled with the confessions of the hooligans, we followed the clues and found out that the person who instigated all of this was a relatively capable steward from He Zhixian’s family in Xiangping County. Yesterday morning, the government office had already taken He Zhixian into custody.”

As the two of them were talking, Chun Xiao came over to report, “Old Madam Sun has returned from the government office and is requesting an audience outside.’

Yu Youyao perked up and looked at Yin Huaixi. “It seems that my case has come to an end.” She turned around and instructed Chun Xiao, “Invite Old

Madam Sun in.’

Not long after, Chun Xiao led Old Madam Sun into the courtyard. Old Madam Sun bowed respectfully to Yin Huaixi and Yu Youyao before recounting the interrogation process in the government office.

. The government office has already issued a notice confirming that someone was deliberately instigating and instigating Madam Zhangs complaint to frame the Princess. As for the motive behind the case, we still have to investigate further if there are other people involved.”

Yu Youyao nodded. “Has He Zhixian confessed?”

Old Madam Sun said, “He Zhixian kept saying that Steward Mu had taken the

initiative to frame the Princess. He didn’t know. He admitted that he wasn’t strict with his subordinates, but he refused to admit that this matter was related to him. Steward Mu, who was in front of He Zhixian, took all the blame. There’s indeed no clear evidence that all of this is related to He Zhixian.

It was obvious that He Zhixian’s methods were quite impressive.

Yu Youyao sneered. “It seems that He Zhixian is holding out hope until he’s faced with the grim reality.”

The reason why He Zhixian was fearless was none other than because he had instructed Steward Mu to plot Madam Zhangs complaint. He had indeed done it flawlessly. If Steward Mu bore all the crimes, he would not be implicated.

Other than that, he should have something else to rely on.

Yin Huaixi had also guessed this. “Framing the Princess is the same as deceiving the emperor. It’s provoking the dignity of the royal family. Once the crime is carried out, the lightest punishment will be dismissal, and the most serious punishment will be imprisonment. Now that the matter of framing is exposed and it implicates He Zhixian, if He Zhixian is smart, he will definitely think of a way to protect himself and reduce his crime. He Zhixian has been an official for many years, so he can see the situation clearly. He refuses to cooperate, as if he’s very confident that he can definitely escape punishment.”

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment. “Don’t tell me he still naively thinks that the Han Clan will think of a way to absolve him of his crimes? Where did he get his confidence from?”

Even a merchant like the Bai Residence knew that the Han Clan was unreliable, so they did not hesitate to climb up another social ladder.

Did he think that the Han Clan would take a mere seventh- grade official seriously?

Yin Huaixi said meaningfully, “What if he has a bargaining chip that makes him fearless?”

The power of the n.o.bles was concentrated in the mountains and Shaanxi. Both sides had a marriage alliance since ancient times.

Furthermore, because Shaanxi had a long history and had the reputation of being the capital of the emperor since ancient times, and it was where the ancient capital, Chang An, was located, the development of Shaanxi was more advantageous than that of Shanxi.

The Han Clan was the number one clan in Shaanxi. It was a behemoth that occupied the northwest area.

He Zhixian had the backing of the Han family in Xi’an, so he indeed had the ability to be fearless.

However, the premise was that he could really get the Han Clan to exonerate her.

Yu Youyao instantly understood what he meant. “It’s obvious that the direct descendant of the Han Clan is definitely involved in the matter of framing the Princess. That direct descendant of the Han Clan should still be hiding in Xiangping County.

After Madam Zhangs complaint, Yu Youyao immediately went to the government office to beat the drum and plead guilty, catching He Zhixian and the others off guard.

After that, Xiangping City was under martial law.

The direct descendant of the Han family from Xi’an would definitely not be able to escape in time.

This was an unexpected surprise!

A smile appeared on Yu Youyao’s face. “The Great Zhou Dynasty values the first wife and the eldest son. As long as the direct descendant of the Han Clan stays in Xiangping City, the Han Clan can forget about cutting off their tail and surviving. It has nothing to do with this matter. With King Li of Zhou being framed and killed, the Han Clan’s situation is worrying..”
