Li Siyu watched the carriage go away with a smile on his face. Hearing Yang Qi's praise of Chu Chengyao in his ears, he said in an appreciative tone:
"What Brother Yang said is true. Your Highness treats others with sincerity and is truly worthy of being a virtuous person."
Yang Qi smiled and said: "If you visit more in the future, you will know how different His Highness is from the other Highnesses. Your Highness is a confidant who can be close to each other."
Li Siyu nodded: "If Your Highness can really help me rescue my father from trouble, I will repay him with my life."
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What about me?"
Li Siyu smiled and said, "Brother Yang helped me a lot today. I'll treat Brother Yang to a drink first."
Yang Qi patted Li Siyu on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Okay! I must get drunk today."
The Second Prince's Mansion.
Chu Chengyao returned to the mansion and personally gave the tea he bought to the mansion doctor. After a cordial conversation, he went straight to the study.
Zhong Yi was waiting at the door of the study. When he saw Chu Chengyao, he saluted respectfully, opened the door, followed Chu Chengyao into the study, and closed the door again.
"Your Highness, the news has come back about what you asked to investigate a few days ago. Li Siyu has been sending money and gifts to Prefect Li these years, so Prefect Li only suffered some hardships in the first few years of his exile. In recent years, It’s been pretty good.”
As he spoke, he respectfully placed the paper in his arms in front of Chu Chengyao and laid it out:
"This is the detailed whereabouts of Li Siyu after he came to Beijing."
After Chu Chengyao took a closer look, he was surprised and said:
"Not only did he stay at Tianqi Academy, but he also worked as a waiter in Lin Jinyan's shop?"
"Yes, Chief Lin Shan took Li Siyu in and worked as a rough messenger at Tianqi Academy for a period of time. Later, he was seen by Lin Jinyan who was going to the academy to play, and he was brought to the shop to work as a waiter. Not long after he went to the shop, something happened to Lin Jinyan Yes, Li Siyu left after staying for half a year."
Chu Chengyao: "Can we find out why Li Siyu left?"
"The shop clerk said that Li Siyu wanted to borrow money from Lin Jinyan to settle his family. Lin Jinyan had already agreed, but something happened. Li Siyu was optimistic about the house and paid the deposit, but he didn't get the money. I had no choice but to pawn family heirlooms before buying the house."
Chu Chengyao nodded, read the contents on the paper and handed it to Zhong Yi to burn.
"Your Highness, Li Siyu seems to be suspicious of you. Is this person still useful?"
Chu Chengyao: "His father has just been exiled and his uncle has taken office. It is normal for him to have such doubts. If he does not doubt me at all, he will not dare to use him. In the future, there will only be more and more places where silver coins are used. This person is quite talented in business, and if you take him under your wing, you will be more sure of success."
Seeing Zhong Yi's thoughtful response, Chu Chengyao said again:
"Where is Lin Jinyan now? Have you ever returned home with Taifu Lin?"
"I asked her when I got back. She never returned home. After staying in the teahouse with Mrs. Lin for an hour, she just went to Yongning Lane alone."
"It seems that she is really interested in the girl in the second room of the Lin family. If you want to get close to her, you can work hard on that girl..."
Yongning Lane.
Mother and daughter, with red and swollen eyes, were saluting Lin Jinyan.
Lin Jinyan said helplessly: "You are my sister's biological mother, and you are also my elder. How can an elder kneel down and bow to a younger one? Get up quickly."
The woman with a marked appearance choked and said:
"The slave family can't even be considered as an outside family, so how can I dare to be the elder of the young lady. Thanks to the blessing of the young lady, the slave family can see Miss Rong in her lifetime and die with no regrets. I will salute you as a worthy member."
