Shen Yinning also couldn't understand: "We can only wait until we capture Qian Duobao in the future to question everything carefully."
"Speaking of Qian Duobao, didn't I seize over ten thousand jin of new tea from his convoy last time? Last night, Lu Ying's men were busy searching the garden, presumably for those tea leaves. Hmph, fortunately I followed your advice and sent that batch of tea to the docks. They searched in vain! This time going to Jiangnan, I not only want to ensure that Lu Ying—the hypocrite—doesn't find the tea, but also make sure he never returns! Even though I am far away in Jiangnan, I know that the current Emperor favors Lu Zhengliu to ascend as Crown Prince. Even if Lu Ying were to die in Jiangnan, I imagine no one would pursue the matter!"
The breeze brushed through the falling pear blossoms.
