The Princess And The Lord
Chapter 274 - The Investigation
The maids didn't hear Ming Yue Yin muttering but Lory heart it clearly and so Yang Xi Yin and they're eyes suddenly spark with curiosity, Ming Yue Yin pinch between her eyebrows she realizes she blurts out something that she shouldn't.
After the maids leave the room, Lory casually takes a sit on the chair then she tapped the table with her finger with a monotone sound "Care to explain…"
Ming Yue Yin pursed her lips in an upset look "Can't I say No?" she begged.
"Overruled!" Lory rejects swiftly.
Yang Xi Yin who also takes a seat look at Ming Yue Yin with expectant gaze, all-girls like gossip especially when it involved a man and she's no better "Do you know him?" Yang Xi Yin eyes glint with excitement who only make Ming Yue Yin perplexed.
Ming Yue Yin sigh, she takes a bowl of rice "Unfortunately…yes!" then she fills her plate with a sour plum meat duck.
Lory also starts to eat, the food fragrant is irresistible "How do you know him?"
"It was during my first month become an Empress, the previous Emperor leave me a lot of mess to clean up one of them is about slavery of Liang Zu people, turns out theirs's a lot of my people send to the barbaric tribes as a slave and the perpetrator is my own officials who collaborated with the soldiers who guard the border" Ming Yue Yin shakes her head helplessly while munching her food.
"Oh, I heard about that from my Father" Yang Xi Yin suddenly said, finally the bad behavior from Lory and Ming Yue Yin rub deeper on her and know she can talk while eating, if only her etiquette teacher saw this she would fall on her knee and cry.
"This happened for a long time and no one can do anything because of people who involved with this schemed is from high-rank official to a low guard and it hard to exposed"
"And what it got to do for the general of Liu yan Kingdom?" Lory takes another sweet and sour pork meat on her plate "Give me the vinegar please…"
Ming Yue Ying pick up the vinegar close for Lory than she continues "The problem is, his sister was sold to the slave trader by his owned family, it happened when he is not home?"
"Another crazy family huh" Lory snort in contempt.
"That is despicable, The General must be shocked" Yang Xi Yin gasped in anger "Then what happened?" she got more curious and somehow her appetite is increased, she takes another chicken thigh on her plate.
Ming Yue Yin swallows her food first before she continues again "Well the perpetrator is his second aunt and the third aunt, of course, their husband is involved too, is not clear for what reason they harmed thirteen years old girl but that what was happened" Ming Yue Yin feel bad for the little girl.
"At that time me and uncle Fu, Uncle Zhang and uncle Wu was investigated everyone who involved in this scheme, who knew this schemed is more deeper and intricate then we though"
"Human trafficking is lucrative business so its not weird a lot of people want a piece of it" Lory sighs.
" I know, why every immoral business are very profitable, gambling house, prostitution, money laundering seriously you know I only sleep two hours since I become an Empress" Ming Yue Yin suddenly vent her steam without stopping she grumbles about her overworked, who said is fun being an Empress, whoever said that she would kick them in the face.
"Okay-okay, when we get the story where you and the general met" Lory become impatient with her excessive ranting.
"...." Ming Yue Yin feel dejected her Aunty didn't care about her misery at all.
"Fine!" she scoffed with exasperated expression "At that time I decide to be a bait because we got rumors about a book ledger that was kept by someone in higher rank but we don't know whom and the book only out when they auction the slave and not just any slave but high-quality slave like a virgin noble daughter"
"They sell noble daughter too" Yang Xi Yin startled by the news.
Ming Yue Yin waved her hand "Not a noble daughter from high-rank official but more like low-rank official like fifth or six rank official but still…." She let out a heavy sigh.
"Let me guess you need someone to get undercover" Lory smirked.
"Yup! But sadly I don't have any women in my Kingdom that I could trust and I don't have time to pick a good candidate because this auction only held once every six months, so you understand how pressing the situation is" Ming Yue Yin take a sip of warm tea.
"Don't tell me you pick up yourself" Lory bites her lower lips anxiously.
"I pick myself!" she said swiftly.
Lory hit the table harshly while Yang Xi Yin's eyes bulged widely she was gasped in disbelieve.
"Oh, God…" Lory whines while rubbing his forehead "And what's the other said?" Lory scared to ask.
Ming Yue Yin tilted her head try to remember what happened "Well, they are shocked I think Zhang Yu Hao make expression like he got heart attack..." she laugh while she remember but than she's stop "Or does he?" she pondering.
"That poor old man" Lory regrettably said, she secretly sends 'get well soon' pray for the old man.
"Oh well, Uncle Fu almost send Fu Yin thought" she shrug his shoulder nonchalantly.
"Why not?" Lory ask.
"Because, sending Fu Ying with dress and coconut on his chest would not gain any attention" Ming Yue Yin state the obvious.
"He will get attention….a wrong one…" Lory props her chin with her palm. she suddenly feel sad to all Ming Yue Yin subordinated, it must be hard served that crazy 'Brat'
"And so I choose myself because no matter how strong or brave my subordinate is, they don't have what I have" she puffed her chest proudly.
"What?" Yang Xi yin innocently asks.
"Bosom…," Lory said in grief.
"Indeed…" Ming Yue Yin smirked.
"….."
