The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yuke and Wen Jiangyue looked towards the door.

The visitor was Zhu Ling, a good friend Yun Yuke had known since Xin'an City, the woman who had achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations.

Naturally, she was accompanied by another acquaintance: Xing Xiaoyu.

"Ling, and Miss Xiaoyu, you've both arrived."

The two men each carried two food boxes, and the servants behind them carried several jars of wine. As soon as they entered the room, they placed them directly on the table.

After Zhu Ling and Xing Xiaoyu had made the arrangements, they quietly shared the news with their friend, "His Majesty and the Empress are aware of your plan and agree with it. Now we are just waiting for His Majesty to make the final decision."

Upon hearing the good news, Wen Jiangyue nodded and picked up the wine pot to pour the wine.

But Yun Yuke wasn't entirely at ease.

"What's wrong, Sister Yun? Do you have another question?" Zhu Ling asked.

"I have a feeling that things aren't that simple. Grand Preceptor Fan has done so much for His Majesty, would the Emperor really listen to our advice so easily?"

Yun Yuke's concerns were indeed valid.

"The Emperor and Empress know you have concerns, so they specifically asked us to bring this over." As someone close to the Empress, Xing Xiaoyu's words carried more weight.

Xing Xiaoyu opened the food box she had taken; inside was an exquisite wooden box.

"To avoid attracting attention, the food box I'm holding doesn't contain any dishes, but don't worry, the two food boxes Ling is holding contain real dishes."

As she spoke, Xing Xiaoyu opened the wooden box, inside which was a gold-inlaid jade waist pendant.

"His Majesty's decree states that Boss Yun and Lady Wen do not need to kneel to receive the imperial edict."

Xing Xiaoyu raised the waist token and announced the decree to Yun Yuke and Wen Jiangyue.

"This matter involves a wide range of issues. I hereby order my Imperial Guard Xing Xiaoyu to assist Yun Yuke with my imperial seal, and to use this seal as proof. All arrangements shall be made in accordance with Yun Yuke's instructions. This is my decree."

Xing Xiaoyu took out a jade seal from her bosom. "This is His Majesty's secret order to mobilize troops. Now, all the soldiers and generals in the capital are at your command, Boss Yun."

After saying that, he pushed the wooden box in front of Yun Yuke, "Take this, it is a token given to you by His Majesty."

Yun Yuke accepted the token and confirmed that it was correct.

"Alright, we won't wait any longer. Miss Xiaoyu, thank you for sending troops to hold the line..."

Yun Yuke explained all her arrangements to the people around her.

"Proceed quietly. We'll act in two days."

While Yun Yuke finished making arrangements, Yunji remained unchanged.

Yun Qingjin went all out with her act; the Prefect of the Capital detained the body, leaving her, a suspected relative of the deceased, with no choice but to go to the Prefect to "seek an explanation."

Tang Yufeng, the second son of the Prince of Jin, didn't bring any special news; he just offered a few words of comfort and that was it.

After all, this involves a wide range of issues, and even though the Prefect of the Capital is an independent agency, there are always some things that he cannot investigate.

Naturally, you have to do a full set of performances.

Yun Qingjin knelt before the gate of the Prefect of the Capital, "Yunji has suffered a calamity. A nameless flying car fell from the sky and a woman's body was found! My mother, Boss Yun, has disappeared without a trace. I reported this to the authorities seven days ago! I hope the Prefect of the Capital can give me an explanation as soon as possible!"

Regardless of who is watching, the most important thing is to present a certain image to people—the bizarre murder case remains unsolved to this day.

The officials from the Prefect of the Capital rushed out, trying to bring Yun Qingjin back to the government office.

“Miss Yun, you can’t just stay at the door. Please come with me to the government office to discuss this in detail.”

"Sir, can you give us an explanation today?"

"Miss Yun, please come in first."

Yun Qingjin shook her head. "My lord, if there is any situation, you can tell me directly. Don't hide anything. If it is found that it is my mother, then our Yun family can arrange the funeral as soon as possible."

The official who arrived looked like the Junior Magistrate of the Capital Region from his attire, and said with some helplessness, "That's not what I meant. I can't just say it on the street."

Yun Qingjin got up and made a show of things outside the door. Seeing that things were about right, she decided to go inside with the others.

"Boss Xiao Yun!"

A familiar voice came from behind, and the carriage of the Marquis of Changxing's residence stopped at the gate.

His elder brother, "Young Master Bai" Xie Minghao, arrived on horseback.

Following behind was the carriage carrying Madam Su Ru.

The people of the Prefect of the Capital would naturally recognize the Marquis's carriage.

"You are Hu Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Prefecture, right?" Xie Minghao recognized the person in front of him as soon as he arrived.

"Thank you, Your Highness. What brings you here today?" Hu Shaoyin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"No need. My mother and I are here today mainly because of Boss Xiaoyun's matter."

"There's something Hu Shaoyin might not know: Boss Xiaoyun has a deep connection with my family. If something happens to her family, our Changxing Marquis's Mansion will naturally keep a close eye on it."

Lady Su Ru, wife of the Marquis of Changxing, also stepped forward.

When Lady Hou herself arrived, the crowd gathered next to the Prefect of the Capital was also driven away.

"Qingqing, if you're going to inquire about the situation from the Prefect of the Capital, it would be better to have the Marquis's residence handle it. Just have your elder brother deal with it."

Su Ru stepped forward and helped her daughter up.

"Let your elder brother handle this. He will definitely give you an explanation today. Come on, you haven't had a proper rest these past few days, have you? Come back to the Marquis's residence with me. The family cook will prepare some nutritious vegetarian dishes to help you recover."

Before Yun Qingjin could refuse, Su Ru pulled her away.

Behind them, the young master of the Marquis's mansion had already spoken to Hu Shaoyin in a stiff tone.

"It's been a few days since Yunji reported the case. Does the magistrate of the capital really need to take this long to conduct an autopsy?"

"What situation requires such a long investigation? How come I didn't know that the Jingzhao Prefecture, known for its brilliant detectives, was so inefficient?"

Yun Qingjin turned her head away, but was pulled away by Madam Hou.

“Your elder brother is quite popular among these people in the capital. Let him inquire for you.”

Yun Qingjin hesitated, "But... it would be troublesome for the young master, and especially troublesome for the Marquis's mansion..."

"No trouble at all!" Su Ru quickly replied.

“I know you can’t accept us yet, but let the Marquis’s mansion handle these kinds of dealings with the government.”

Su Ru didn't give Yun Qingjin a chance to refuse and directly pulled her onto the carriage.

"But... I haven't told the people at Yunji yet."

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for someone to talk to Yunji. You can rest assured."

They're making it clear they want to take Yun Qingjin away.

Based on her understanding of the Changxing Marquis's mansion from her previous life, Yun Qingjin clearly sensed that the current Marquis's wife was not quite normal.

The Lady of the Marquis's enthusiasm is usually reserved for those who are useful to her.

In any case, I definitely never saw this mother's kind face in my previous life.

Even if the relationship is different in this life, it shouldn't cause this Lady Marquis to change so much.

Yun Qingjin only realized something was wrong after she got into the carriage.

If we were to force our way out of the carriage now, we would easily be exposed, so we could only strike up a conversation with Madam Hou, making small talk and responding casually.

Once she arrived at the Marquis's residence, she seized the opportunity when no one was watching her and sent out her current situation via a communication device.

I don't know what Yun Yuke is doing, because I didn't receive a reply immediately after sending the message.

There's no time to wait for a reply, after all, we're on someone else's turf.

I hope my mother will see this.

"Boss Xiaoyun, our Madam Hou is looking for you. Please don't wander off."
