Chapter 285: Chapter 286: Ensuring Your Father’s Safety Chapter 285: Chapter 286: Ensuring Your Father’s Safety Little did Jhiang Yijia know, she did not listen to a word, but instead abruptly stood up and urgently pleaded, “Don’t touch those pieces of evidence at Dad’s place, don’t touch them, okay?”
Seeing his daughter rushing outside, Jhiang Ming got up to chase after her and called out, “Where are you going again, child? You just got home and you won’t even eat. Why don’t you leave after eating?”
“I’ll eat next time.” Jhiang Yijia waved her hand and left.
She had more important matters to attend to. After leaving the Jhiang Family, she did not head back to Fuzhou but instead went to Anji Hall.
Shao He was treating a patient when he saw someone looking around from afar, furrowed his brows slightly, and suddenly said as the next patient sat down, “Wait a moment, I have something to attend to and will be right back.”
After speaking, Shao He got up and came over to Jhiang Yijia, asking, “How do you have the time to come here today?”
Jhiang Yijia glanced at her, “I have something very important to discuss with you and the Fifth Prince.”
“Then go wait for me in the back courtyard’s chamber for a moment.”
Shao He knew when Jhiang Yijia said she had something to discuss, it must be something major, and it also involved Pei Huaian, which made her vaguely guess a bit.
It might be related to the counterfeit silver issue. A few days ago, those who caused trouble at Anji Hall were arrested, and it was discovered that the silver was underweight; he was also aware of this matter.
Yun Qian even revealed that upon learning of this, The Emperor flew into a rage and commanded the Minister of Revenue to thoroughly investigate, and Shao He felt vaguely that something was wrong at the time.
Pei Huaian came with a cheerful demeanor, but Shao He had never taken the initiative to visit him at the residence; now that she did so rarely, he was naturally very pleased.
Shao He had Yun Qian keep watch, while she led Pei Huaian toward the chamber in the back courtyard.
Waiting in the room, Jhiang Yijia saw the door being pushed open, immediately stood up to greet the arrivals, and bowed, “I pay my respects to the Fifth Prince.”
Pei Huaian did not expect there to be another person in the chamber and a trace of surprise flitted across his eyes as he waved his hand, “Why would Lady Fang be here?”
“Yijia has something to tell us.”
Jhiang Yijia, seeing that both had arrived, immediately began, “I came here to tell you that someone has delivered evidence regarding the location and methods of private silver minting to my father, along with the responsible parties, and not a single flaw can be found in this evidence.”
“Oh? What evidence is there?”
“There is a letter stating that most of the private silver is traced back to a shop opened by an aide from the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, but the person in charge is one of the Fifth Prince’s men.”
“There is a letter stating that most of the private silver is traced back to a shop opened by an aide from the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, but the person in charge is one of the Fifth Prince’s men.”
Jhiang Yijia revealed the information she had received to them.
Pei Huaian’s expression immediately turned grave, his eyes narrowing dangerously, “It seems the person behind this is indeed clever.”
Shao He analyzed calmly, “The person behind this has a clear goal, which is to destroy the Fourth Prince and eliminate the Fifth Prince.”
Jhiang Yijia took a deep breath and said seriously, “The person who sent the letter has a very simple purpose: to pin the crime of minting private silver on the Fifth Prince and then use the Fourth Prince to circulate the silver.”
The Fourth Prince would naturally suffer no harm, at worst being seen as not clever enough and used by someone, and The Emperor would at most scold him.
But it’s different for the Fifth Prince, minting private silver is a serious crime, not something that can be glossed over lightly.
“You must be very careful about this.” Jhiang Yijia looked at them worriedly.
Pei Huaian smiled and said, “Thank you, Lady Fang. Please go back and tell Master Jhiang that the prince acknowledges this favor.”
After finishing, he looked up and exchanged a glance with Shao He, “Recently, the Capital City is rife with undercurrents; be cautious and careful in your actions to avoid being exploited by those with ulterior motives.”
“Hmm, Doctor Shao should also be careful. Those people might turn to target you,” Jhiang Yijia agreed with a nod.
Shao He nodded and asked, “I understand, but what should we do now?”
Both their gazes turned towards Pei Huaian, awaiting his thoughts.
Pei Huaian pondered for a moment and said, “Would you trouble Lady Fang to inform your father to send someone to investigate? If it is confirmed, present all the evidence; the prince will ensure his safety.”
“Thank you, Fifth Prince.” After expressing her gratitude, Jhiang Yijia left in a hurry.
She believed that the Fifth Prince’s word was his bond; since he said he would protect her father, he would surely do so.
After Jhiang Yijia left, Shao He’s eyes revealed a deep concern.
“What do you think about this matter?”
Pei Huaian said gravely, “It’s easy to guess that Pei Chengye and the Zheng Family are behind this. They came prepared, and with such complete evidence, it’s definitely not possible to find faults in it quickly.”
“Are we just going to let them frame us?” Shao He understood the Empress’s hypocrisy; she didn’t truly love Pei Huaian, and everything was just for show.
Pei Huaian shrugged nonchalantly and sighed, “What can I do now that things are this way? I can only let them frame me.”
“This isn’t a trivial matter, nor is it a crime that can be resolved by humble submission or confinement before The Emperor,” Shao He said with great concern.
Pei Huaian suddenly leaned in close to her and asked, “You wouldn’t be worrying about me, would you?”
Shao He pushed him away, a flush of annoyance added to her composed face as she sternly warned, “Please, have some decency!”
Pei Huaian raised an eyebrow and smiled mischievously, deliberately misconstruing her words, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you?”
“…” Shao He.
She couldn’t be bothered with him.
