Chapter 523

As Niu Yaodi spoke, Dong Huang's eyes changed from initial shock to surprise, and then to panic.

After finishing, Niu Yaodi looked at the panicked Dong Huang: "Forget it, I knew you wouldn't have the guts."

"If you don't have the guts, then forget it."

"You just stay here honestly, wait for Duan Yu to return, then wag your tail and beg him for an official position, and go back to your hometown to look at people's faces."

"Also, the child in my belly is the incense of your Dong family. If you don't say anything, I will naturally go to Grandmother to explain."

Dong Huang clenched his fists, looked at Niu Yaodi, gritted his teeth, and asked: "You… you really have certainty?"

Niu Yaodi nodded: "Naturally, I do."

"Alright, then we'll do as you say." Dong Huang narrowed his eyes, his tone resolute.

In a separate courtyard in the middle of the Prefect's Mansion.

Jia Xu, Jia Dong, and Liu Bai Tu, who had taken a detour from the front yard, did not leave but came to a separate courtyard together.

In the courtyard, Dong Yi, wearing a white fox fur coat, supported her lower abdomen with one hand and sat on a wooden chair.

The expression on her face was very grave.

When all three arrived in the courtyard,

Dong Yi looked at the three and nodded: "Sit down, all of you."

The three knelt side by side in front of Dong Yi.

After all three sat down, Dong Yi first stood up from the wooden chair, and then, supported by a maid on the side, bowed slightly to the three.

Jia Dong hurriedly stood up to return the salute.

Jia Xu and Liu Bai Tu also stepped aside.

"Three gentlemen." Dong Yi said softly: "You are all the people the Lord trusts most. To have to work so hard for my family affairs, I should naturally thank you."

"If it weren't for you discovering this, I…"

Dong Yi said, her brows furrowed.

The matter of Dong Huang and Niu Yaodi committing adultery had already been told to Dong Yi when Duan Yu left Jixian.

And Duan Yu had also fully entrusted the handling of this matter to Dong Yi.

After all, this was the family business of the Dong family.

And Duan Yu also instructed Liu Bai Tu to cooperate with Dong Yi regarding the matter between Dong Huang and Niu Yaodi.

In other words, Dong Yi was very clear about what the two had been doing during this time.

As for why Dong Yi didn't let Niu Yaodi withdraw in the front hall just now, it was also intentional.

Jia Dong was so smart. Even the Zhen family, who cooperated on the snow salt and white paper, only knew the source through Zhen Jiang. How could such a thing be spoken of casually?

Therefore, Jia Dong deliberately avoided mentioning snow salt and white paper while speaking, only saying salt and paper.

Paper was very normal; it was sold in many places.

Salt was the same, so Jia Dong understood and didn't say snow salt, only mentioning salt.

"Lady, after Niu Yaodi returned to the residence, she went to find your elder brother. The specific matter they discussed concerned the old home in Lintao, but what exactly was said is not clear, but it definitely has to do with the Lord."

"This is the content of their conversation."

Liu Bai Tu stood up and sent the password book to Dong Yi.

Dong Yi didn't look at it, because she couldn't understand it either.

The password book of the Military Intelligence Department would not directly record any Chinese characters, but used a password invented by Duan Yu, which was Hanyu Pinyin, to replace them.

The content on this could only be deciphered by the Military Intelligence Department.

Dong Yi nodded and said: "I know."

"Send this matter to Lintao and hand it to the Lord."

"I will inform my father of this matter."

A few days later.

Longxi Commandery, Lintao County.

Duan Yu, Longxi Commandery Prefect Fan Jian, the Lintao County Magistrate, and the elder brother of Duan Yu's father-in-law, Dong Zhuo, were drinking and toasting at the Dong family's residence.

A day had passed since Duan Yu arrived in Lintao County.

Longxi Commandery Prefect Fan Jian, who learned of Duan Yu's arrival, came specially from the commandery seat, Didao.

And the Baima Qiang tribe's Old King, Bai Long, as well as the leaders of some Qiang tribes in Longxi Commandery, were also rushing to Lintao.

While the banquet was in progress, Tie Shitou quietly came behind Duan Yu and whispered a few words into his ear.

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu nodded. ===== CHAPTER 525 =====
