Lu Yuhong’s studies at Anzhou Academy run much deeper than they appear on the surface. He has another mission as well – to help Chu Lan find the Ninth

Prince.

Based on various clues, the Ninth Prince, if alive, should be somewhere in Jiangnan.

“The re-examination of Lord Xu’s case can’t possibly be a coincidence. Someone must be stirring the pot behind the scenes, we’re just not sure who it

is.” Chu Lan asserted.

Given the Emperor’s lingering sentiments for the late Empress Xu, if the Ninth Prince is still alive and Lord Xu’s case is reexamined, the political landscape will undoubtedly undergo a seismic shift.

“Well, I don’t quite understand all of this. All I can do is help you find him and leave the rest up to you.” Lu Yuhong waved dismissively, entirely unwilling to think about such complex matters.

“Mm,” Chu Lan nodded, aware that Lu Yuhong was not really into such things.

It was because he didn’t care that Chu Lan was willing to share with him.

In his position, it was difficult to have a confidante who could be trusted…

Thinking of this, an image suddenly emerged in Chu Lan’s mind.

One afternoon they sat idly in the courtyard of the farm, basking under the sun, drinking a specially brewed tea available only there.

Thinking of this, Chu Lan turned to the attendant at the tea pavilion, “Do you have winter melon tea here?”

The attendant shook his head in confusion, having never heard of winter melon tea.

Chu Lan was somewhat disappointed, “You may go.”

Lu Yuhong’s interest was piqued, “Winter melon tea? What is that? Is it good?”

Lu Yuhong’s interest in food far outweighed his interest in political feuds.

“Yes, it’s good. But it can’t be found just anywhere.” said Chu Lan.

“So, where can we get it? Let’s go drink some!” Lu Yuhong was filled with curiosity about the unfamiliar drink.

“Let’s wait for the right opportunity. That place isn’t easy to get to.” Chu Lan said.

“Is there a place in Taizhou prefecture you, as the Seventh Prince, can’t go?” Lu Yuhong asked skeptically.

“Mm. There is.” After finishing, Chu Lan glanced out of the window at East

Lake, deep in thought.

It wasn’t difficult to get to that place, but being welcomed and invited in was another story.

While the government office was a beehive of activity, Wei Ruo was also industriously occupied.

The manor of Fei Tuipan, which had captivated Wei Ruo’s interest, was purchased through Xu Zhushan.
