On the day Pei Lingyi left the pavilion, Dali Temple surrounded Duke Anguo's mansion.
Four thousand stones of moldy grain were found in the Northwest Army. The three warehouse receipts were all stamped with the old seal of the Pei family. The place where the grain was transported happened to be the Yongfeng warehouse in her dowry. His father was detained, and the clan members were in panic. The sedan chair that had already arrived outside Xie's house had not yet been brought in.
Fiancé Xie Huaizhang quietly entered her yard and said that the Xie family could save people as long as she handed over the Pei family seal and temporarily passed the door as a concubine.
Pei Lingyi did not agree.
She burned the marriage certificate, opened the thirty-six bundles of dowry herself, and asked Dali Temple to search her belongings.
A missing old account, a family seal that had been forged for many years, and several seemingly unrelated dowry shops gradually revealed a grain route hidden in Chang'an City. Xiao Jibai, the young minister of Dali Temple who investigated the case for her, also found traces of Xiao's old case twelve years ago.
But Pei Lingyi didn't expect that on the rainy night when the military rations entered Yongfeng Warehouse three years ago, the father she wanted to save would also appear there.
