Yan Wenli looked at Zheng Jianfeng and asked, "What preparations should we make?"
"I’m afraid the Yu Family might come knocking on our door... and we won’t be able to justify our actions."
Yan Wenli turned to his secretary and asked, "Why do you think Tang Fei would capture me?"
Zheng Jianfeng, with a troubled expression, replied, "I don’t know."
"I believe Tang Fei wouldn’t act without a reason. Since he brought the man back, there must surely be a rationale behind it. It indicates that Yu Bainian is involved in the case." Yan Wenli said, "If the Yu Family really comes knocking, let Tang Fei handle it."
"Yes, I understand," Zheng Jianfeng said respectfully.
It is said that Tang Fei is now the most influential person in the Monitoring Bureau, and indeed it seems to be true.
The support from the bureau chief is comprehensive and can be described as unconditional trust.
Who is Yu Bainian? He is a member of the Yu Family, part of the royal family.
Even the King finds them troublesome when encountered...
Having brought Yu Bainian into the Monitoring Bureau and injured so many of the Yu Family members, would the Yu Family just let it go?
Since the bureau chief does not care, I, as his secretary, had better not say much more. As long as I fulfill my duties well, doing my job of alerting and rectifying mistakes, that should suffice.
Yan Wenli picked up the Whiskey in front of him, sipped it with enjoyment, and said, "Let’s wait and see what sort of surprise or shock that young man can bring us next."
After Zhong Daolong married Yu Sineng from the Yu Family, he prepared a luxurious family residence next to the Phoenix Palace. One reason was to facilitate the Empress’s visits to her family; another was to show favor to the Yu Family.
However, Yu Changan, the Yu Family Master, rejected this excessively kind gesture.
Yu Changan told Zhong Daolong, "Even though you are the royal sovereign, we still live everyday lives. Being too close breeds contempt while distance fosters fondness."
"Rather than ending up with numerous disagreements and parting on bad terms, it’s better to live further apart, seeing each other occasionally, making each encounter feel warm and amazing."
Zhong Daolong found Yu Changan’s words quite sensible and did not insist further.
The gifted house was not taken back; the Yu Family members could use it freely when they entered the city.
Additionally, in Qianshan at the Yu Family Mansion, they extensively renovated the house, constructing it in the antique style favored by the people of New Star—complete with pavilions, towers, artificial hills, and waterside pavilions.
Everything was available, exquisitely beautiful.
It was said that when Empress Yu Sineng returned, she was tremendously shocked, saying it was even more opulent and luxurious than the Phoenix Palace.
Under Yu Sineng’s strong insistence, the Yu Family returned several hundred acres of forests and several thousand acres of lakeside land back to the royal family.
Yu Changan, being Yu Sineng’s father, was devastated by his daughter’s early death—it was truly heartbreaking to see white hair sending off the black.
After a severe illness, his physical condition had significantly worsened.
Yu Changan then abstained from managing affairs, inviting a Taoist priest to live at the mansion.
In his free time, he would practice Tai Chi with the Taoist priest and play chess. With a calm mind, his complexion gradually became healthier and more vibrant.
While Yu Changan was practicing Tai Chi to the delicate sounds of a guzheng, a young man rushed over and said, "Grandpa, it’s terrible... Uncle has been arrested by the Monitoring Bureau."
Yu Changan, with hands encircled, continued his movements smoothly, the breeze barely stirring as he said, "I don’t handle affairs. Let your father deal with it."
"My dad has already taken people to the Monitoring Bureau."
"Taken people?" The old man frowned and said, "The Monitoring Bureau is a national authority. Is he going to force his way in? Call your dad; he can go to understand the situation, but he must go alone."
"But the Monitoring Bureau is too arrogant. They took Uncle and even injured many of our Yu Family members..."
"The truth will come out." The old man’s eyelids drooped as he rhythmically moved his body, "If we have no justification, let them punish as they deem fit."
"If we are justified... the Yu Family won’t let themselves be bullied unjustly."
