A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1131 - 920 Deadly Letter Paper

Xiaosuisui nodded."I know!

Zhao Fei discovered this and handed it over to me. Along with this envelope, there was also a piece of paper."

There was also a piece of paper?

The Emperor, Princess Lianchun, and Empress Dowager Xiao all showed expressions of shock and uncertainty.

"Where is that piece of paper?"

Princess Lianchun hurriedly inquired.

"Let me take a look!"

Xiaosuisui quickly searched inside her pouch.

Soon she found a piece of paper and took it out.

"Found it, here it is. The envelope was wrapped in this piece of paper."

Princess Lianchun hastily took the letter in her hand and looked at it, puzzled.

"Strange, there’s clearly nothing on it!"

The Emperor smoothly took the letter from her hand.

Having looked at it, he said, "The organization that transmits information uses special methods to conceal the truth on the paper."

With that, he held the letter over a flame to heat it, but nothing appeared.

"There’s nothing!"

Princess Lianchun and Empress Dowager Xiao spoke in unison.

The Emperor then put the paper under his nose and sniffed it, saying, "It has a strong herbal scent."

With this statement, Xiaosuisui’s large eyes lit up.

"I remember now, this letter paper and envelope are from Ping’an Pharmacy!"

"Ping’an Pharmacy? Not the Ji Family’s?"

The Emperor, Empress Dowager Xiao, and Princess Lianchun all grew more concerned.

It was indeed not from the Ji Family, which was rather reassuring, indicating there was no issue with the Ji Family.

"No!" Xiaosuisui shook her head confidently and continued, "This herbal compendium was given to me by my second uncle. Later, when I was at the City God Temple with Beautiful Sister, we encountered Zhao Fei’s younger sister who was sick, and I treated them, but the herbal compendium was left at the temple."

"Later, Zhao Fei took the compendium to gather herbs, but it was taken by Ping’an Pharmacy, so I went to help him get it back. This letter paper should be from Ping’an Pharmacy."

Upon hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, the Emperor and Princess Lianchun, alongside Empress Dowager Xiao, exchanged glances.

Finally, the Emperor slammed the table, "Someone, come!"

Ling Gonggong quickly entered.

"Your Majesty!"

"Have Long Wu take a team to Ping’an Pharmacy..."

"Your Majesty!"

Princess Lianchun hurriedly stopped the Emperor, then reminded him, "First, let’s monitor them and figure out to whom they belong before proceeding."

Xiaosuisui raised her chubby little paw.

"I know, I know!"

Everyone’s eyes turned towards her.

"You know?"

Xiaosuisui nodded, "Yes, I do. They are from the Li Family, something... something Li Family!"

"The Li Family of Zhongshu Province!" the Emperor reminded from the side.

Xiaosuisui nodded, "Yes, yes, that’s the name!"

The Emperor let out a heavy sigh.

"Stand guard at your palace gate. As soon as Ji Youzhi enters the palace, bring him here immediately."

The Emperor looked at Ling Gonggong and instructed.

"Yes!"

At that moment, Ji Youzhi had just arrived at the gate of the Duke’s Mansion.

When the doorkeeper heard the name Ji Youzhi, he couldn’t help but panic a little.

"Ji... Ji Youzhi, why... why have you come to our Duke’s Mansion?

We... our Duke’s Mansion hasn’t committed any... any crimes!"

The people in the Duke’s Mansion were dumbfounded when they heard Ji Youzhi’s name, their speech faltering out of unease.

"Don’t worry. I’m not here to investigate any case today. Please inform the Duke that I have something to discuss with him!"

The doorkeeper dared not let him wait outside! He quickly invited him in.

"Please come inside, sir. Have some tea in the Flower Hall while I go inform the Duke!"

The doorkeeper hurriedly left, and Ji Youzhi followed a servant to the Flower Hall.

When the Duke heard of Ji Youzhi’s visit, he was startled and whispered to his wife.

"Why has Ji Youzhi come here personally?

A matchmaker’s visit should be handled between the matchmaker and the elders of both families, right?

We never heard anything from Madam Ji’s side, saying Ji Youzhi would come to our mansion!"

The Duke’s muttering also made his wife feel suspicious.

"You are right, my dear. Logically, since we as the girl’s family initiated the matchmaking process, Mrs. Ji should have responded accordingly.

But so many days have passed?

The Ji Family hasn’t sent any message at all.

Husband, I think we should just let this go.

There are plenty of influential families in the capital. Why should we be so eager to cling to the Ji Family?"

The Duke’s wife was quite exasperated, and honestly, she truly didn’t want any ties with the Ji Family.
