Chapter 833: Chapter 730, Meeting an Old Friend_2

Before leaving, Xiao Yeyang tightened the reins and looked towards Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai, "The Duke Residence wields considerable power in Beijing, it would be best for you both not to openly confront them."

Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai both nodded.

After Xiao Yeyang left, Yan Wentao turned to Bi Shi, "You’re to drive the carriage back to the residence now, letting people know that the eldest sister has returned. If Madam or the old lady ask for her, say she’s tired and has already gone to sleep. Remember, don’t let anyone see Miss Hong Ying."

Bi Shi nodded and quickly drove the carriage away.

Then, Yan Wentao turned to Yan Wenkai, "I’ll go find the eldest sister and Miss Dong, you go and check on the Dong family’s courtyard."

Yan Wenkai nodded, "Alright."

Soon, the two of them split up to carry out their tasks.

...

On the other side, unable to meet up with Yan Ying and Bi Shi, Daohua had no choice but to take Dong Yuanyao to a warehouse they had previously purchased to temporarily hide.

At first, because they were disguised as men, they walked down the street without attracting the attention of the officials, but later on, the Duke Residence’s servant girls and old women were added to the ranks of the officers searching for people.

Dong Yuanyao was betrothed to Luo Hongyuan, and the Duke Residence’s servant girls and old women all recognized her.

Daohua originally thought that Dong Yuanyao disguised as a man wouldn’t be recognized, but the matrons from the Duke Residence had particularly sharp eyes and identified the ducking Dong Yuanyao, had not Yan Ying arrived in time to distract the officers, they would have been captured.

"Huff, huff, huff~"

Daohua, pulling Dong Yuanyao, ran through several streets at high speed until they stopped gasping for air beside the inner river.

"Yiyi, stop worrying about me. Luo Hongyuan’s older brother is the Shuntian Prefecture Commander, and he knows Beijing very well. No matter where I hide, he will definitely find me. Even if I escape the officers today, in the end, I will still be found," Dong Yuanyao said, hands propped on her knees, breathing heavily.

Daohua: "Let’s first get through today, then I’ll figure out a way to get you out of the city. Once you’re out of the city, the world is vast, can the Luo family really search everywhere for you?"

Dong Yuanyao shook her head, "The Luo family won’t let me go. If they can’t catch me, they will definitely go to the Dong family to find my parents and elder brother, I can’t drag them into this."

Daohua disagreed, "This matter has nothing to do with your family. Even though the Duke Residence is powerful, they wouldn’t dare to openly give the Dong family a hard time. They might take their anger out on the Dong family, but at least their lives wouldn’t be at risk."

"But it’s different for you. If you’re captured and taken back, you’re surely headed for a dead end. Think about it, your uncle and aunt, and elder brother Dong, can they accept this?"

Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao squatted down in agony, covering her face with her hands.

Daohua couldn’t afford to comfort her at this point; she quickly surveyed their surroundings and, hearing the approaching voices of officers, urgently pulled Dong Yuanyao to run forward.

The inner river was connected to the vast Dayuan River outside the city. Now, as the Dragon Boat Festival approached and the weather turned hot, many citizens liked to come here to cool off at night, and some officials and nobles also enjoyed river cruises to admire the nighttime scenery.

At this moment, many pleasure boats and flower boats were moored on the river, and laughter could be heard from the boats, despite the distance between them.

"Make way, make way, tonight Shuntian Prefecture is apprehending a murderer, idlers are not allowed to stay outside!"

Seeing officers appear ahead as well, Daohua inwardly cursed and quickly led Dong Yuanyao to back away.
