Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 897 Convenience
Tang Wan replied softly, "No rush. Let's not alert him. Have Butler Li keep an eye on him, but don't let him notice. We can take action after we've investigated thoroughly."

Madam Wang nodded, called out to Steward Li to come over, and instructed him to take everyone back.

He then lowered his voice and said a few more words to Butler Li.

Butler Li remained expressionless, responded, and turned to make the arrangements.

Wang held Tang Wan's hand, her palms sweaty, and whispered, "Wan'er, thanks to you, your mother didn't even notice."

Tang Wan held her mother's hand and said gently, "It's alright. Now that we know, we're not afraid."

Upon learning that all the servants had come to her mother's courtyard, Tang Jing also went to Wang's courtyard.

Although Wang and Tang Wan lowered their voices, Tang Jing could still hear them very clearly. She was somewhat surprised and worried.

Tang Wan noticed her sister Tang Jing's worry and comforted her, "Sister, there's no need to worry. You have my protection. Those low-level methods can't harm you. But you should reduce going out recently, and even if you do go out, take more people with you, just in case."

If those people in the Southern Desert don't use those insidious methods and instead kidnap people directly, then my talisman will be ineffective.

Therefore, the best way is to reduce going out and not give others an opportunity to take advantage of you.

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Tang Jing took a deep breath and slowly calmed herself down.

Wang noticed her eldest daughter's worry and said, "You know your sister's abilities, so don't worry, everything will be fine. When your father comes back, he can handle these matters. You can just stay at home and relax."

Tang Jing nodded slightly and replied, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely not go out during this period."

The mother and her two daughters chatted for a while longer, then Wang told them to go back to their own courtyard to rest, only instructing them to come over for dinner.

Tang Wan returned to her courtyard and had just sat down when she heard a knock on the door. It turned out that Er Ya had just returned.

"Miss," Er Ya said in a low voice as she closed the door, "that letter has already been delivered to the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture's desk."

Tang Wan looked up at her and nodded slightly.

Er Ya has it much easier than others when delivering a message.

While most people would have to go through a roundabout way to find someone to deliver the goods secretly, Er Ya can simply disappear and arrive.

Er Ya paused for a moment, then continued, "I was thinking of waiting until I was sure the prefect had seen it before leaving, so I came back a little late."

Tang Wan nodded and praised, "Er Ya, you did a great job."

Now, Er Ya often uses her brain and starts to think about how to do things more appropriately, instead of simply doing what she's told. Back then, Er Ya didn't think much about anything and just did whatever she was told without thinking or asking any questions. She has really improved a lot now.

Thinking about all this, Tang Wan then asked, "What was the prefect's reaction after he saw it?"

Er Ya smiled slightly and replied, "When I saw the prefect in his study, he was startled at first. He opened the door, looked around, and then hesitated for a while before opening the letter and starting to read it."

Er Ya paused for a moment, then added, "After reading the letter, the prefect looked rather displeased. He folded the letter up and put it away on his desk, then called his attendant into the study."

Er Ya continued mysteriously, "The prefect whispered in his attendant's ear, but that was no problem for me. I heard it clearly right in front of their ear. The prefect told his attendant to check if Zheng Gui had a pipe with a horse engraved on it."

Tang Wan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Clearly, this prefect was also interested in taking action against Zheng Gui. In that case, she could simply wait for good news. Tang Wan didn't forget to praise Er Ya: "Er Ya, you did a great job. Keep an eye on things going. If this case is tried publicly, remember to let me know. Even if it's not, if there are any other changes, let me know immediately."

Er Ya quickly responded when she heard Tang Wan say that.

The matter concerning Boss Chen has come to a temporary end. It will probably take several days for the final results to be released, so we need to focus on other matters for now.

Tang Wan asked Er Ya to call Zhu Xi in.

Er Ya responded and left. A short while later, Zhu Xi arrived at the door.

Zhu Xi had just gone to check if the pear soup she was making for the young lady was ready when she was surprised to find the young lady looking for her. After entering the room and bowing, she hurriedly asked, "Young lady, you wanted to see me?"

Tang Wan smiled and said, "We already looked at the shop yesterday, and you have a general idea of ​​how to decorate it and what materials to use. We were delayed today and didn't have time to move on. Starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of this matter."

Zhu Xi nodded: "Yes. This servant will go first thing tomorrow morning."

Tang Wan added, "For the renovation, you can take two hundred taels from me first. If it's not enough, come back for more. Be frugal, but don't be too stingy."

Zhu Xi noted everything down and then asked, "Miss, should I find the renovation workers myself, or should I ask Steward Li for help?"

Tang Wan thought for a moment and said, "If you're willing to try it yourself, then go ahead. If you're unsure, then go find Steward Li. He's been in the capital for many years and knows a lot of people; he won't be fooled."

"Yes, I understand," Zhu Xi replied happily. Her mistress had given her enough freedom.

Tang Wan added, "During the renovation, you've been working long hours every day, so it's understandable that you're exhausted. You don't need to worry about me anymore. Here are the keys to the shop; please keep them safe."

Zhu Xi agreed and asked a few more questions, which Tang Wan answered one by one.

At this moment, the War King was listening to Zhan Yi's words in his study.

"Your Highness, the men sent to the southwest have returned," Zhan Yi reported solemnly.

The War King put down his pen, looked up at him, and said, "Speak."

"We've made some progress on the Feng family's affairs." Zhan paused, as if carefully choosing his words. "In the southwest, the war between the various factions of the Witch Clan was exceptionally fierce. It's said that the Black Witch Clan was wiped out, but our people investigated extensively and suspect that the Feng family might be a remnant of the Black Witch Clan hiding there."

Upon hearing this, the War King's gaze paused slightly, and he asked, "The Black Witch Clan?"

He didn't know much about the Black Witch Clan, but he did know that one of the main reasons for their extermination was that their methods were somewhat despicable, mostly involving harmful evil magic.

Zhan Yi hurriedly replied, "Yes. They act mysteriously and are skilled in witchcraft and other evil arts, unlike ordinary witch clans. During that internal strife, the other factions joined forces to suppress them, and the Black Witch Clan was almost wiped out. But I found out that one branch quietly left the southwest and traveled to many places. The leader of that branch was surnamed Feng."

The War King did not speak, but listened quietly.

Zhan Yi continued, "As for whether the Feng family has any connection with the Southern Desert, I haven't found out yet."

Zhan Yi paused for a moment, then added, "But my subordinates have found out that after the Feng family members come of age, they all travel around, no matter where they are. On the surface, it is a travel, but outsiders do not know where they go or what they do. It is also possible that they are using the travel as an excuse to secretly carry out some kind of activity with the Southern Desert."
