Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan did not stop him from going to find Yang Chuxia. Instead, they sent two servants with horses and carts to accompany him. After he left, Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan began to mobilize, arranging for a large scale purchase in their household.
Meanwhile, Ye Zi’an and the two servants headed towards Wangshui Town, and finally arrived in the evening.
As soon as they entered Wangshui Town, they heard that the only remaining inn in town was a notorious one. The night before, they had tried to kidnap a young lady, planning to send her to Jade Seduction Pavilion. Fortunately, the lady had discovered their scheme. Now, the innkeeper and the waiter had been taken away to the county city.
Listening to the lively discussion among the people, Ye Zi’an had a bad feeling and instructed the servant, "Go and find out what happened."
After a while, the servant returned, reporting the same information that Ye Zi’an had already heard, with no special details.
Ye Zi’an thought for a moment and said, "Go to Taste the Fruits!"
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Taste the Fruits shop. The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted Ye Zi’an when he saw him. He recognized Zi’an as the future son-in-law and had met him once before.
"Did my lady cousin come here recently?" Zi’an asked indifferently, unconsciously exerting some pressure.
"Replying to the young master, the lady indeed came to Wangshui Town, checked the accounts, and left for the county city yesterday," replied the shopkeeper.
"Are the events happening in the inn today related to my lady cousin?"
The shopkeeper’s face changed, but he still apologized, "Young Master, I’m sorry. After hearing about the incident today, I asked someone to find out what had happened. The inn was indeed where your lady cousin was staying. From the descriptions of the people who stayed there, it should be her. However, the people she sent to report the news afterward didn’t mention this matter, so I think she should not have been hurt."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi’an asked again, "She said she went to the county city, right?"
"Yes, that’s what the people with her said."
Zi’an put down his tea cup and told the servants, "Let’s set off for the county city immediately."
The servants hurried to prepare the carriage, and the shopkeeper did not ask further. Seeing the urgency, he knew it was not his place to pry into his master’s affairs.
After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, the carriage left Wangshui Town without delay.
Wangshui Town was farther from the county city than Wangquan Town. If they set off at this point, they would probably not arrive until the next morning.
Meanwhile, during the day, Yang Chuxia went to the county city and had a sumptuous meal.
After she was full, Fugui came to join her.
"Miss, Qingyou has already reported to the authorities and told the steward about everything. County Magistrate Shen is also aware of it," he said.
Yang Chuxia nodded, "When will Lord County Magistrate hear the case?"
Fugui added, "We also accused Jade Seduction Pavilion along with our case. Lord County Magistrate has now sent someone to the Jade Seduction Pavilion. Once the owner arrives, the case can be heard."
"Very well," Yang Chuxia sneered. "Take advantage of their unguarded moment to give some silver to the bailiffs, so they will be harder on them when they beat them."
"Mmm, I understand. Before I came to see you, I had already given some silver to the bailiffs," said Fugui, who had been with Yang Chuxia for quite some time and knew her thoughts to some extent. The lady would surely not let the mother and son off easily.
