"Prince, Madam, the young master and young lady have been safely arrived." Mo Ya bowed.

"You have worked hard, please go in first."

The group entered the yard, and the carriage was pulled in. Yun Peng asked, "Where should we put the things in the carriage?"

Bai Wei hurriedly said, "Come with me."

Yingge and the others also came out to help move things. Wen Qingcheng looked back and saw that there were a few boxes and the rest were pots and pans. Her mother must have some obsession with pots. She remembered that when she was about to come to Kyoto to find Mo Jinghong, her mother also insisted that she bring a pot.

Wen Qingcheng pulled Ye Xiuying and the others into the house. Zicheng was still a child after all. When he first left, he was still missing his friends and secretly wiped away tears several times along the way. Now that he had met Wen Qingcheng and Mo Jinghong, his family was around him, and they lived in such a big house. The furnishings inside were all things he had never seen before. He felt novelty everywhere and was in a much better mood.

Wen Qingcheng introduced them, "Mom, this is Bai Wei, and this is Zhu Ling. Bai Wei was originally from the He Mansion, and Zhu Ling was from Dad's house, but they are both with me now. They are my assistants and my good sisters."

Both women smiled and bowed to Ye Xiuying: "Greetings, Madam."

Ye Xiuying quickly responded, "These two girls are so pretty. They are different from those who come from wealthy families. Their gestures are so elegant. Thank you for taking care of Qingcheng. From now on, don't call me Madam. Just call me Aunt."

Zhu Ling has been in the Marquis' Mansion for a long time, and has been educated in the order of superiority and inferiority since childhood. She knows that Ye Xiuying is Wen Liang's original wife. In her heart, Ye Xiuying is the real mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. "How can that be? We should just call you Madam."

Ye Xiuying didn't know Zhu Ling, and thought that everyone in the city was like this, so she smiled and agreed. Wen Qingcheng introduced Zicheng, and the two girls liked the chubby Zicheng. Bai Wei squatted down and said with a smile: "The young master is really handsome, as handsome as the girl."

When Zicheng first heard the beautiful sisters calling him "Young Master" and praising his good looks, he smiled sheepishly. Surrounded by the two beautiful sisters staring at him, he felt so embarrassed that his ears turned red.

When they saw Xue'er, the two girls were even more excited. They thought that this little doll looked like a white jade sculpture, made of soft dough, and was very beautiful. However, Wen Yuxue was tired from the ride and fell asleep, so they didn't dare to speak loudly.

"Mom, I know everything about our family. As for the arsonist, Brother Mo will investigate. I also had some trouble in Kyoto some time ago. I'm afraid it has something to do with me. Fortunately, our family is safe."

When Ye Xiuying heard that something happened to Wen Qingcheng, her heart instantly lifted. Wen Qingcheng smiled. She didn't dare to tell Ye Xiuying that she was almost beheaded, otherwise she would be scared. She said perfunctorily: "It's late today, have you had dinner?"

“We ate it all on the way.”

"You must be tired after the journey. Zhu Ling and the others have boiled some hot water. You can take a hot bath and rest early."

Wen Qingcheng, Bai Wei and Zhu Ling took Ye Xiuying to her room, while Mo Jinghong called Yun Peng to the study to question him.

"Yunpeng, have you found anything?" Mo Jinghong asked in a low voice.

Yun Peng clasped his fists and said, "My Lord, I was only concerned with rescuing people at the time. I let one of them escape, but I did catch four. Unfortunately, their mouths were very tight and I couldn't pry them open. They had poison hidden between their teeth, and they bit the poison pill and committed suicide."

Mo Jinghong walked slowly in the study room with his hands behind his back. Such people must be well-trained assassins. "Did you find anything on them?"

"These people are very clean, there is nothing valuable on them. I just collected the swords and hidden weapons they used. There are markings on them, so they must have come from the same blacksmith shop. I have seen the boots of one of them." Yun Peng said.

"Have you seen his boots?"

"Yes, there is a boot shop in Kyoto. The quality of the boots they make is excellent. There is a small label on the inside of each pair of boots with words embroidered on it. It is said that these words are the codes of the female workers who do the writing. If there is a quality problem, the owner can directly find that female worker."

Mo Jinghong's eyes widened instantly, "It seems to be someone from Kyoto!" Mo Jinghong originally suspected that it was Wang Bozhen. After all, Wang Yunxi's incident had just happened, and something happened at home so coincidentally, which inevitably made people suspicious. But if Wang Bozhen sent someone to kill Wen Qingcheng's family, it would be impossible for him to call in assassins. With Wang Bozhen's family background, he couldn't afford to support so many assassins, and the boots worn by the assassins were from a store in Kyoto.

Yun Peng continued, "If the boots don't confirm that they are from Kyoto, I also discovered that the clothes they wore underneath, although they were simple white short shirts, were indeed made of the finest snow satin. This kind of fabric is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it looks no different from ordinary white cloth. If I hadn't seen snow satin when I was in the palace, it would have been difficult to detect."

"Snow satin?!" Mo Jinghong seemed to have an answer in his heart. Snow satin was not sold on the market. It was a fabric supplied by foreign countries. At that time, His Majesty had once given it to the six palaces. As for who the ladies in the palace gave it to, the scope was wide, but he already had a suspect in his mind.

Wen Qingcheng settled Ye Xiuying down. Seeing that the light in the study was on, she knew that Mo Jinghong was asking Yun Peng about the situation of his investigation. She also wanted to know what was going on, so she walked over to the study door and knocked.

"Brother Mo, it's me."

Yunpeng opened the door for Wen Qingcheng, who looked at him gratefully. "Brother Yunpeng, thank you for saving my family. Are you injured?"

"This is my duty, Miss Wen, you don't have to thank me. Thank you for your concern, Miss Wen. It's just a minor injury."

"Where are you injured? Wait a moment, I have medicine for treating external injuries." Wen Qingcheng said as she took out a small medicine box from the bookcase in the study, took out a few bottles from it and handed them to Yun Peng, and told him how to use them.

"Thank you, Miss Wen." Yun Peng took the medicine bottle and thanked her.

"Yunpeng, go down and have a rest. You've worked hard these past few days." Mo Jinghong said. Yunpeng said goodbye and left, closing the door.

Wen Qingcheng and Mo Jinghong were the only ones left in the room. Mo Jinghong raised his lips slightly and said sourly, "You care so much about your brother Yunpeng."

"He saved my family, so it's only natural for me to care about him. Are you jealous?" Wen Qingcheng smiled and patted Mo Jinghong's shoulders. Then she asked solemnly, "Did Yunpeng find anything?"

Mo Jinghong also gradually stopped smiling and his expression became serious. "It can be concluded that this was not done by Wang Bozhen. I don't think he has the guts to go against me. Yunpeng said that those who assassinated my aunt and the others were some assassins. Although I didn't get any information from them, I can conclude that these people are from Kyoto."

"From Kyoto?" Wen Qingcheng quickly searched for someone in Kyoto who had a grudge against her. "Brother Mo, do you suspect anyone?"
