While Xiao Moxian was occupied with investigating embezzlement and corruption, Shao Wenbo was still trying to find who sent the peasants to crash his wedding and who sent kidnappers after Xie Yixiang. Even with Xie Ming and Xiao Yuhan's help, the investigation was going nowhere. The people behind the scenes had hid themselves too well and left next to no clues for them to follow.
Xiao Yuhan was still puzzling over who the handkerchief could belong to. If it belonged to someone in the imperial family then it had to be Xiao Moxian's, because second prince Xiao Feiqian was not in court that day, so he could not have dropped it. But Xiao Moxian said it was not his, and besides, Xiao Yuhan was still hesitant to believe that his half-brother would lie to him. The handkerchief was becoming a headache.
Even He Tianhong was pulled into the cases. As a close adviser of the Crown Prince, He Tianhong had no excuse not to help with the investigations.
