Zhou Linghuai took a piece of Eight Treasures Cake and ate it.

Yu Youyao looked at her cousin and knew that she had guessed correctly. “Marquis of Ningyuan partic.i.p.ated in Song Xiuwen’s memorial. Although he didn’t mention Shandong, Song Xiuwen is involved with Shandong. The Imperial Court has always had zero tolerance for rebellion. All the officials will be investigated thoroughly. Song Xiuwen will definitely be implicated. Since Song Xiuwen is a feudal official and has a pivotal role in Zhejiang, Zhejiang will be implicated as well.”

King of You’s case, Li Qiguang’s case, and Song Xiuwen’s case had a myriad of complications that were deeply interlinked.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Li Qiguang’s case. Song Xiuwen’s case was still under investigation and hadn’t spread, so she didn’t think too much about it.

Only when her cousin mentioned the complexity behind Li Qiguang’s case did she think of this connection.

For a moment, she shuddered.

The courtiers were probably also a little suspicious about Song Xiuwen, so the Zhenguo Marquis Residence showed that they put righteousness before family

from the beginning.

Fortunately, she suggested that her father bring Song Mingzhao south.

Regardless of whether Song Mingzhao was really talented or not, at least as the heir of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, Song Xiuwen’s case was much easier to handle with his help.

As long as her father did as she said, he would start with the Zhejiang navy, get the dirty money, and escort Song Xiuwen to the capital. The rest would have nothing to do with her father.

However, she was worried that if her father did not listen to her advice…

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “I’ve arranged for someone in Zhejiang to a.s.sist Lord Yu in investigating Song Xiuwen’s case. Lord Yu is investigating the crimes that Marquis of Ningyuan partic.i.p.ated in. As for what you’re guessing, it will all be after Song Xiuwen has been escorted to the capital.”

As long as Yu Zongzheng obtained the dirty money and investigated the crime that Marquis of Ningyuan had reported to Song Xiuwen, once he entered the capital, the matter in Zhejiang would have nothing to do with him.

Her cousin’s words undoubtedly rea.s.sured Yu Youyao. “Cousin, did you plan Song Xiuwen’s case from the beginning?

No matter how scheming her cousin was, it was all interconnected. If she didn’t know her cousin well, she wouldn’t have guessed this even if he had never deliberately hidden it from her.

Zhou Linghuai smiled. “Before I take over You Prefecture, I have to resolve the worries of You Prefecture first.”

More than half of the officials and n.o.bles in the Northern Territory were dealt with. The ones who stayed were his people. The resources in the Northern Territory were in his hands, but it was not enough.

Only with more chips could he support his greater ambition.

Yu Youyao was stunned and looked at her cousin in a daze.

The person in front of her seemed to split into two in front of her eyes.

One was the heir of Yin Huaixi, who was very unfamiliar to her, but was graceful and n.o.ble like the sun G.o.d of the east.

One was the cousin she was familiar with. He hid his abilities well and was peerless in the world. He spent time with her day and night) and the two of them were very close.

For a moment) she couldn’t tell which one was her real cousin.

Seeing her strange expression, Zhou Linghuai asked, “What’s wrong?

Yu Youyao subconsciously lowered her head and replied, “No, nothing. I just feel that the Jiangnan area is rich in resources. Tea leaves, salt, porcelain, silk, minerals, maritime trade, and so on are all the most commonly used expensive items in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It would naturally be best if Cousin can gain a foothold in the Jiangnan area.”

Although the north was not barren, it was located in the bitter cold. It was also a fact that there were not many resources.

Even if her cousin completely controlled the north, supplies were still a problem.

Zhou Linghuai vaguely sensed that something was amiss with her emotions. He said calmly, “Previously, you said that you wanted to start an escort business. It’s been almost half a year since you’ve started preparing. How’s the preparation for the escort business?

At the mention of this, Yu Youyao had a lot to say. “The escort business has already been prepared. We’ve cleared the checkpoints at the government office and the water and land routes. We’ll start escorting in September…”

She had handed over all the matters in the escort business to Zhou Yonghe. It had been difficult for him for half a year. Although there were no results, fortunately, the escort business had been established and her cousin’s name had been released.

Although the initial investment was huge, Yu Youyao did not lack money now. Her prospects were definitely not bad.

After she spoke for a long time, Zhou Linghuai only listened with a smile. It wasn’t until she was done that he handed her a cup of tea.

Yu Youyao held her tea and suddenly felt that she had been dizzy just now.

Her cousin was her cousin. Why would there be a split in ident.i.ties?

After figuring this out, she suddenly felt enlightened. “Cousin, previously, Zhou Yonghe asked me what name I would be giving the escort agency. After thinking about it, I felt that ‘Happy Heart’ was not bad. Zhou Yonghe refused no matter what, saying that other people’s escort agencies are either Dragon Gate or Tiger Might. We should give it a mighty and domineering name, but I still think that ‘Happy Heart’ is very good.”

Zhou Linghuai had an ominous feeling. “Why did you come up with the name?

Yu Youyao smiled. “It represents joy.” Before Zhou Linghuai could heave a sigh of relief, the little girl added mischievously, “It’s also what I hope you will be.”

So that was why~

Since the matter was settled, Yin Huaixi did not say anything else.

With that, the little girl giggled. Her eyes were bright and her smile was bright.

“Cousin, Cousin, doesn’t this name sound good?!”

Zhou Linghuai felt that Zhou Yonghe’s suggestion was better.

The escort business definitely needed a more mighty and domineering name so it would be more imposing. Although all of this was superficial, the underworld really liked it.

However, if the little girl felt that it was better to be “Happy Heart”, so be it!

The words that were about to come out of his mouth rolled on the tip of his tongue before he stuffed them back into his mind. After thinking about it,

Zhou Linghuai said, “The escort business depends on strength. As for what name to give it, well, as long as you like it!”

After saying that, Zhou Linghuai couldn’t help but think

Wasn’t this answer a little suspicious?

Hence, Zhou Linghuai racked his brains and added, ‘”Happy’ sounds quite festive. It’s very dangerous for the escort agency to escort people to begin with, so it’s more auspicious to give it a festive name. The greatest goal of the escort business is also to benefit others and make them happy. From the looks of it, thisname is not bad.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Youyao couldn’t help but chuckle. “Cousin, I just wanted the name to have a positive meaning. That’s why I named it ‘Happy’. It’s really awesome that you could explain the word ‘Happy’ so well. I didn’t think about it this way!’

Zhou Linghuai’s face darkened.

How could she foolishly think of such a cousin as two different people?

Was there something wrong with her brain?

Yu Youyao smiled, her eyes sparkling. “However, after Cousin’s words, I suddenly feel that this name is really good..”
