"Do you have anything on you worth my attention?"

"You!" Li Luru exploded, "Get up, don’t sit on my cushion, I despise your dirtiness! Who knows how long you’ve been in the Beauty Pavilion, tsk tsk, you’ve made my cushion smell."

"Tsk tsk, if you really hate men visiting brothels so much, you should close all the ones in your family. If you shut them down, no one in your town would go there!" Ye Haoxuan stood up, "Why do the men in your town become rotten? Isn’t it trouble caused by the brothels your family owns?"

"You think I don’t want to?" Li Luru pouted, "If I had a say, I would shut every brothel in Great Zhou."

"Quite ambitious!"

As Ye Haoxuan walked to the door, he asked again, "When will we receive news?"

"Xiaobai and Dabai are very fast; there should be news in about seven days." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"That’s best."

When they arrived in Henghe County, instead of staying at an inn, they rented a courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Ye Haoxuan summoned his subordinates, "While looking for someone, check out how the County Magistrate here is doing."

"Yes!"

Investigating local officials was something he would do whenever he went to a place.

Understanding the people’s hardships and reporting those matters was one way to deserve the crown on his head.

"Your Highness, the County Magistrate of Henghe County requests to see you." Another day, his subordinate reported.

"Him? How does he know I’m here?" Ye Haoxuan was a bit displeased. This trip was meant to be incognito, and the journey had been smooth, with no visitors until now at this small place by Heng River, where someone found him.

"We don’t know."

"Refuse to see him!"

Even a small County Magistrate wants to see him, so in the future, it would be impossible to tell whom he would have to meet.

"But Your Highness, the County Magistrate said he has news about the Eldest Miss."

"What did you say?" Ye Haoxuan stood up from his chair.

"He said he has news about the Eldest Miss."

"How could he have news about Rongyue, and know I’m here?" Even though Ye Haoxuan was anxious, he wouldn’t overlook the flaws in such a matter.

"Your Highness, this Henghe County Magistrate is a distant relative of the Situ Family. It’s likely he received the news from them."

Upon hearing this, Ye Haoxuan paused and waved his hand, "Bring him in." He coldly snorted inwardly, hoping this matter was real; if not, he wouldn’t blame himself for being ruthless.

In the process of bringing him in, Ye Haoxuan was actually somewhat expectant in his heart, sincerely hoping someone could know Yueyue’s whereabouts.

After a short while, the person arrived.

"County Magistrate Zhong Yongqian of Henghe County pays his respects to You Highness, Your Highness for a thousand years and more..."

The visitor was tall, very lean, and his eyes shone with intelligence.

"Enough!" Ye Haoxuan interrupted him, "I hear you know news about my sister."

"Indeed!" Zhong Yongqian was momentarily stunned by Ye Haoxuan’s directness.

The pleasantries he intended to exchange were suddenly impossible to utter.

"Speak, what do you know? Do you know where my sister is?"

"Replying to Your Highness, your sister is currently at my residence."

"What did you say?" Despite Ye Haoxuan’s usual composure, this news shook him greatly, this was simply joyous.

"Replying to Your Highness, Eldest Miss Ye is currently at my residence." Zhong Yongqian appeared very calm, "I originally intended to send Miss Ye back to Wangquan Town, but on the way I heard Your Highness had arrived at Heng River, so I returned here to wait. I wanted to bring Miss Ye to see you, but she felt unwell in the morning, so she stayed at my place, cared for by my wife personally."
