Chapter 398: What Is There to Fear?! "Xiao Er, go fetch some hot water for your Grandmaster," Magistrate Tian said to Yan Yu. Yan Yu knew her Grandmaster was intentionally sending her away because he had something to say. She hopped off the heated kangs, picked up the teapot, and headed toward the kitchen. Magistrate Tian spoke slowly. "A few days ago, Banner Commander Xue sent something to me. It was a piece of paper. To be precise, it was a stained scrap of a note. He said it was the…- 617.5 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 399: A Cover-Up Magistrate Tian had not expected the secret the Yan family was hiding to be such a significant matter.

Recalling the letters from his old friend mentioning that the Prince's Manor had sent people to search the riverbanks between Gufeng and Changping for lost items, it seemed they were looking for these chests submerged in the water. He had another, even…

- Chapter 400: Buying Grain at Midnight San Tie spoke up again: "Little brother, we won't be leaving for a while. If your family needs firewood, come back again."

- Chapter 388: Standing Tall "Selling them... would be a real shame. Let's keep them, Yan Lao'er," Hu Er suggested. The rest of the crowd chimed in one after another. At the end of the day, what man doesn't treasure a horse? They all fantasized about the day they could mount one and gallop across the fields. "Raising them is a lot of work. They aren't like mules or donkeys. There's a lot to know about how to feed a horse and when it needs to be taken out for a run," Yan Lao'er said. "Didn't…

- Chapter 392: Lunch at the Prince's Manor Magistrate Tian entered the Prefectural Government Office, while Yan Lao'er and Yan Yu waited outside. The expressions of the father and daughter looked as if they were cast from the same mold, both unashamedly sizing up this most authoritative government office in Guanzhou. Fortunately, they knew their limits. After watching for a while, they moved aside and pulled the carriage to the edge. Yan Lao'er greeted the coachman and then took Yan Yu to the…

- Chapter 393: This Subordinate Official Wishes to Try Again The three of them finished lunch and sat idly for nearly an hour before someone finally came to summon them. Magistrate Tian stood up. Yan Lao'er helped him straighten his official robes and watched him depart with the attendant. Only the father and daughter remained in the room. Without the teacher watching nearby, Yan Lao'er relaxed instantly, losing all sense of proper posture. Yan Yu hopped off her chair, tilting her head and…

- Chapter 394: Fellow Countryman Prince Ying had summoned Yan Lao'er for an audience. Yan Lao'er followed an attendant through the Prince's Manor, his mind in a complete daze. See him? For what! Once they arrived, Yan Lao'er hurriedly pulled himself together. He knelt and performed the formal greetings. When he was told to rise, he didn't even have time to look at Prince Ying, instead casting a quick glance toward his teacher's face. Magistrate Tian nodded slightly to his disciple, his eyes…

- Chapter 395: Raising Silver "How did you think of striking up a friendship with this Eunuch Wang? This matter..." Magistrate Tian hesitated for a moment before saying, "It must not be done too often." "We literati must follow the proper path of the Imperial Examination System and act with integrity so as not to give others cause for gossip." He offered this guidance appropriately, knowing Tianyou would understand. "Teacher, one cannot be too upright. Take today's matter, for instance. Didn't…
