Chapter 229: Chapter 230: Give an Inch, Take a Mile
Pei Huaian saw the silent person and continued, “As for the Shao Family, Shao Zhengru is being troubled at every turn in the court. His anticipated promotion is now hopeless, and Shao Mingyang is detained by the Ministry of Justice, currently so busy he’s at his wit’s end.”
After listening to his words, Shao He nodded in satisfaction, only her expression still gave away no pleasure.
“That, uh, I…”
“It’s getting late. Xiao Linzhang also needs to rest. The Fifth Prince should leave as soon as possible.” Shao He directly reached out to take the child from his hands, her cold voice giving no room for rebuttal.
“Okay, okay…” Pei Huaian sullenly withdrew his hand, not daring to linger any longer.
Now that there were some signs of her finally forgiving him, he couldn’t afford to be set back to square one.
Shao He took the child back to the room, and only after Xiao Linzhang fell soundly asleep did she open the door again.
Qingxia and Qingshan were standing outside. When they saw her come out, Qingshan nudged her companion, and Qingxia hesitated before speaking, “Miss, actually, everything the Fifth Prince is doing is for your and the young master’s good.”
“I know,” Shao He said without denial.
She trusted that Pei Huaian had always been protective of the child and understood his good intentions, but she still could not forgive him for hiding the fact that he was the child’s father.
Qingxia wanted to say more, but was pulled away by Qingshan, leaving Shao He with a contemplative expression standing by the door, staring blankly at the neighboring courtyard.
The pulled-away Qingxia said in confusion, “Sister, why did you stop me from finishing what I was saying? Since the child is the Fifth Prince’s, wouldn’t the safest thing be to stay with the Fifth Prince?”
“Safe? When has it ever been safe around the Fifth Prince? When has the Fifth Prince not faced open hostility and hidden threats? Why do you think he refuses to acknowledge the young master? It’s all for the safety and well-being of him and the Miss.”
Qingshan was a sensible person; he clearly understood the precarious position of the Fifth Prince. Staying with him was not the best choice for the Miss.
Qingxia, struck by her sister’s point, immediately came to her senses.
Ever since that day, Chu Yu had been climbing over the wall every day, arriving dirty and dust-covered. But he didn’t mind these things at all.
As long as he could see the child and Shao He, he was more than content.
Shao He did not reject nor approve of the daily visitor, conveniently ignoring his presence.

Far from being discouraged, Pei Huaian became only more determined. He even considered making a doorway through the wall between the two residences.
Ah Mo, seeing the drawings his master had made on the wall and that he was preparing to use his inner strength, hurriedly ran over to stand in front of the wall.
“Master, wait a moment,” he said.
“Hmm?” Pei Huaian paused, looking at Ah Mo with a puzzled expression, not understanding the reason for the interruption.
His eyes were filled with confusion and inquiry.
“I urge the master to reconsider. If you create a door here and someone discovers it, it could endanger Doctor Shao. In times like these, it’s better to be cautious,” Ah Mo advised with a bow.
Pei Huaian was briefly taken aback, then nodded in sudden realization.
“You’re right, it’s indeed not safe to do this.”
Now that Shao He and the child had been exposed in the public eye, and the child’s identity was a mystery, everyone had their suspicions. If he were to create a door here for his own sake, and it resulted in harm to the child, he would be beyond redemption.
“Master is wise!” Ah Mo flattered, relieved to see Pei Huaian abandon the foolish act.
“How are things on Yun Qian’s side? Has there been any progress?” Pei Huaian asked urgently, hoping he had found evidence to quickly overthrow the Empress and clear the obstacles.
“Nothing so far. The Empress is always careful with her actions, especially with matters like these that cannot leave any trace or evidence. It will be difficult for Master Yun to find anything,” Ah Mo responded gravely.
“Keep a close watch on them,” Pei Huaian instructed indifferently before turning to leave.
Ah Mo sighed, “Master, I know Master Yun’s capabilities, but even he is at a loss. I fear it will be very difficult to uncover the events of that year.”
Hearing Ah Mo’s words, Pei Huaian paused for a moment before continuing on his way.
“If it was the Empress’s doing, there must be a trail to follow. Regardless, we have to find it out. If there truly is no lead, then there is no other choice.” Pei Huaian’s tone was filled with an icy resolve.
…
Shao He resumed her usual busyness, and each day after finishing her clinic duties and returning home, she could always see a familiar figure. Over time, she became accustomed to his presence.
That day, upon returning home and having finished dinner, Nanny suddenly approached and said, “Miss, yesterday when I went out to buy groceries, I was stopped by someone. That person gave me several hundred taels of silver just to get a bit of the young master’s blood. Fearing it might startle the snake, I played along and agreed.”
“Hmm, you did the right thing,” Shao He said with a light laugh.
She didn’t blame the nanny for taking initiative. Over the years, Nanny Zhang along with Qingxia and Qingshan had become like family to her. Since they were family, that level of trust was there.
“Miss, the old servant feels there is something strange about this matter.”
Nanny hesitated for a while before finally sharing her concerns with Shao He.
After listening, Shao He’s brows furrowed.
“This person you mentioned, are they male or female? Do you remember what they looked like?”
Nanny Zhang thought carefully, “It was a man, dressed in a black robe. Oh, and there was a dark mark on his wrist.”
