Chapter 713: Chapter 641, Elope_1

Before realizing it, December had arrived.

The weather became colder and colder, and Daohua disliked going out, spending all day in the courtyard preparing and mixing medicines.

Although there was a war on the Northern Frontier, there were still merchant caravans that made the trip. Sun Changze’s fleet would make a journey every month or two, and he could help her send some things to her two brothers.

"Miss, Yan Shouhou is here."

As the year’s end approached, each shop and estate began to submit their account books for the year.

Daohua nodded her head and met with Yan Shouhou in the living room.

"Miss, the harvest at each estate has been excellent this year. The estate managers are asking whether we should sell some grain?"

Daohua examined the combined accounts of each estate and, after hearing this and thinking about the war situation on the Northern Frontier, said, "Keep the grain; don’t sell it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shouhou immediately ceased his inquiries.

Although he felt that the amount of grain stored in the estates was somewhat excessive and that selling some would be better, he knew even better that the Miss was a decisive person. If she said not to sell, then as a servant, he best not contradict her.

Afterward, Daohua asked about the personnel situation on the various estates.

Yan Shouhou very much valued the opportunity to work for Daohua. He dared not be careless with any task assigned to him and was very familiar with the personnel at each estate and shop. With every inquiry from Daohua, he was able to respond immediately.

After hearing Yan Shouhou’s report, Daohua, considering what she already knew, shuffled some of the positions of the estate and shop managers, and then she allowed Yan Shouhou to leave.

As soon as he left, Wang Manman came over and said, "Miss, the elder master wants you to go to the front courtyard."

Daohua looked up in surprise, "My eldest brother is looking for me?"

Wang Manman nodded her head.

Daohua found it strange but quickly laid down her account books and hastened to the front courtyard.

Upon arriving at Yan Wenxiu’s yard, Daohua saw Dong Yuanxuan sitting in the living room with an urgent expression on his face and was surprised, "Brother Dong?"

As soon as Dong Yuanxuan saw Daohua come over, he quickly stood up, "Sister Yan!"

Daohua entered the living room, exchanged greetings with Dong Yuanxuan, and smiled, "Brother Dong, what brings you here?"

It was then that Yan Wenxiu spoke, "Younger Sister, have you been in contact with Sister Dong recently?"

Seeing the serious expressions on both of their faces, and Dong Yuanxuan’s eager look, Daohua straightened up, "At the beginning of last month I corresponded with Yuanyao, but I haven’t written recently. Has something happened?"

Yan Wenxiu looked at Dong Yuanxuan, waved his hand to indicate the servants in the living room to withdraw.

Once the servants had left, Dong Yuanxuan spoke in a heavy tone, "Yuanyao has eloped with someone."

"What?!"

Daohua stood up abruptly, her face shock and disbelief, "Brother Dong, are you mistaken? How could Yuanyao possibly elope with someone?"

In ancient times, elopement was a serious offense.

Dong Yuanxuan, both annoyed and disappointed, slammed his hand onto the table and said woefully, "I never would have thought that Yuanyao could do something like this."

Daohua: "But who did Yuanyao elope with?"

Dong Yuanxuan, with a face full of fury, gritted his teeth and said, "Sun Changze!"

Daohua’s eyelids twitched; Yuanyao had still fallen into the trap!

Dong Yuanxuan looked at Daohua, "Sister Yan, I came here to ask you if you know where Yuanyao might have gone. Now my grandmother, father, and mother are nearly driven mad with worry."

Daohua shook her head, "When did Yuanyao leave home?"

Dong Yuanxuan replied, "She’s been missing since the morning of the day before yesterday."

Daohua asked, "Have you sent people to look for her at Sun Changze’s house?"

Dong Yuanxuan said, "Of course we have, but the canal gang said they haven’t seen Sun Changze recently. Given this involves Yuanyao’s reputation, we couldn’t make a big fuss about searching, so we still have no news."

The mere thought of his previous visit to the canal gang made Dong Yuanxuan’s face darken with displeasure. He simply could not fathom why his sister would fall for Sun Changze, who could only earn a living by selling his labor, "Yuanyao... she’s really disappointed us."

Daohua couldn’t help but defend Dong Yuanyao, "Yuanyao is not someone who would abandon her parents and brother. Maybe... maybe you got it wrong, and she just went out to have some fun."

Dong Yuanxuan gave a bitter smile, "Actually, for the past one or two months, everyone in the family has noticed that Yuanyao was behaving oddly, and we all thought she was just reluctant to leave Zhongzhou. Who could have imagined she would elope with someone else?"

Yan Wenxiu turned to Daohua, "Big sister, do you think you could ask the Little Prince to help us find her?"

Dong Yuanxuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, expectantly looking at Daohua.

Though he no longer worked with the Little Prince, he was well aware of the Little Prince’s capabilities. He could guess that the person now commanding the Jinling Guard as the specially appointed Investigator by the Emperor, who all of Beijing was speculating about, was indeed the Little Prince.

With the Jinling Guard’s help in searching, they would definitely be quick and wouldn’t alarm too many people.

Daohua began to ponder with some hesitation. After a while, she looked at Dong Yuanxuan and asked, "If we find Yuanyao and Sun Changze, what will you do to them?"

Dong Yuanxuan’s eyes immediately grew cold, "I am only responsible for bringing Yuanyao back. As for Sun Changze, he can get as far away as possible."

Daohua fell silent for a while, then tentatively asked, "Big brother Dong, Yuanyao ran away with Sun Changze, which shows that she really likes him. Is there any possibility that you could allow them to be together?"

Dong Yuanxuan spoke definitively, "That’s impossible. My grandmother, father, and mother would never agree to it."

Yan Wenxiu said to Daohua, "Big sister, let’s talk about these things after we find them."

Daohua also felt the need to find Dong Yuanyao first and nodded, "Alright then, I’ll send someone to look for Xiao Yeyang."

Daohua directly sent Wang Manman to Xiao Yeyang’s new residence, asking the people there to inform Xiao Yeyang.

An hour later, Xiao Yeyang appeared at the Yan Residence.

Seeing the tired and haggard Dong Yuanxuan, Xiao Yeyang patted his shoulder, "I’ve already dispatched my men, don’t worry too much." That same afternoon, a Hidden Guard came back with news that they found Sun Changze and Dong Yuanyao on a tributary of the Dayuan River.

After informing Madam Li, Daohua and Yan Wenxiu followed Dong Yuanxuan and Xiao Yeyang to the location.

By the time they arrived, the Provincial Governor, Dong, had already brought people with him.

Before they got close, they could hear Dong Yuanyao’s cries and pleas for mercy.

"Father, I will go back with you, please let him go."

The Provincial Governor’s face was full of anger, "Let him go? He dared to abduct and elope with the rightful daughter of the Marquis Residence. Dying a thousand or ten thousand times wouldn’t be enough." After saying this, he looked with a gloomy expression at Sun Changze, who was caged inside a pig basket with his mouth blocked.

"In your next life, be a good person. Don’t go seducing and eloping with someone else’s daughter."

The Provincial Governor’s eyes flashed with viciousness, and with a lift of his foot, he ’bang’ kicked Sun Changze into the river.

"No!"

With rocks placed inside the pig basket, it sank into the river in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Dong Yuanyao cried out in despair and, overwhelmed by a rush of distress, fainted on the spot.

Daohua and the others arrived just in time to witness this scene.
