Some had been taken recently, others much earlier. The uncertainty gnawed at Yan Yu. “Dad, the Divine Water…” Yan Yu reminded softly. Yan Lao’er quickly explained the so-called Divine Water…-

Chapter 269: Searching for Family They didn’t stop when passing through Changping. Yan Lao'er and Yan Yu took turns poling the raft, which sped swiftly down the river. Before the people at the dock could even make out what was covered under the oilcloth on the raft, it had already vanished from sight. Traveling upstream was certainly more taxing than going with the current. No matter how strong Yan Yu was, he couldn’t match the relentless rush of the river day and night. Thankfully, they had…

Chapter 268: Seeking Divine Water If the person was fake, then the so-called Divine Water couldn’t be real either. Besides, how could there possibly be a Divine Water that cures all ailments in this world? “It’s all just a scam,” Yan Lao’er muttered under his breath. “Those people making a fuss? All planted shills.” Yan Yu chimed in, “Exactly. A paralyzed leg suddenly standing up again? Who’d believe such nonsense…” “It’s all an act, just to swindle people out of their money.…

Chapter 267: White Hair, Youthful Face “We’ve seen enough. Let’s put it back,” said Yan Lao’er. He did love silver, but if it wasn’t his, he didn’t care to take it. Yan Yu didn’t respond. She was still rummaging through the various chests. Before long, she pulled out a few silver ingots. “Dad, look at these. They’re all official silver, but the casting molds are clearly different. Look at the stamps. These two were minted in the Capital City, this one’s from Linhai, that one’s…

Chapter 266: Iron Chains and Sunken Chests That was the Crown Princess Consort. How could her dowry chests be anything less than exquisite? And yet, they had even used two different colors. But those chests weren’t part of the dowry. Then what were they? What did those people take out of them? “Sanbao, hurry up! Check if anyone’s around. If not, get in the water. We need to get out of here fast. Whatever’s going on, it’s none of our business. We didn’t see anything, don’t know anything,…

Chapter 265: The Boxes Once the conversation started, it didn’t take long for everyone to start chatting away, voices flying from all directions. The Yan father and daughter quickly picked up on everything they wanted to know. This year, Linhai Prefecture had been blessed with good weather. While other regions were hit hard by drought and suffered poor harvests, Linhai had remained relatively calm and stable. As they ate, the two listened in on the lively chatter. Occasionally, Yan Lao’er would…

Chapter 264: Wind in the Face, Headache Incoming Yan Lao’er had to maneuver several times before he finally managed to wedge his raft into the narrow gap between two boats. A man on the shore gestured for him to toss over the reins. Once the man expertly tied them to a mooring post, he turned to inspect the raft in front of him with a discerning eye. “Not bad, brother. You’ve used solid materials. Two layers of rolling logs on a single raft, and these side panels too… I gotta say, it’s pretty…

Chapter 263: Dad, You Should Take the Imperial Examination! "So I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?" Yan Lao’er tried hard to recall what he'd talked about with those people. "Nope," Yan Yu said, genuinely impressed with her father. He’d sat there, pouring his heart out like he was having a deep conversation, yet somehow managed to perfectly avoid all the important topics. "You really have to stay on your toes when dealing with people like that. One slip of the tongue, even half a sentence, and it…
