Shen Yuexuan had hidden the evidence that could prove that Ye Yisong had colluded with officials and merchants, as well as colluding with thieves, in the basement of the ancestral hall, right under Lin Zhanhong's memorial tablet. Mo Rongzhan had basically found all the evidence after obtaining these account books. He asked Shen Yi to bring Shen Yuexuan back first, and he would bring him back to the Jin Kingdom tomorrow.

As for the Shen family's property in Dongqing, Mo Rongzhan couldn't handle it in the Yue Kingdom, so he handed it over to Ye Yiqing.
Ye Chunnan had been suppressing the anger in her heart for a long time. After beating Shen Yuexuan up, she finally vented her anger.
"Your Majesty, Shen Yuexuan has been brought back," Shen Yi said to Mo Rongzhan in a low voice.
"Go back." Mo Rongzhan handed the account books to Shen Yi.
Ye Chunnan rubbed his fist and walked over with an unconvinced expression on his face. "I have something to ask you."
Mo Rongzhan motioned for Shen Yi to leave first, and looked at Ye Chunnan with a faint smile. "What is it?"
"I remember that you didn't know martial arts back then, at least not as good as you are now. Who did you learn from?" Ye Chunnan asked. This was what he wanted to ask today. He used to see Mo Rongzhan being bullied by other princes in the capital city. If his martial arts were so good, how could he have been like a soft bun back then?
"If others knew about my martial arts back then, do you think I would still be standing here?" Before he had absolute strength, he would rather show weakness than force himself.
Ye Chunnan snorted in his heart. Those who bullied Mo Rongzhan back then were really blind. No wonder he was under house arrest and had his power reduced. He was the weakest and the most despised, but he was high up and had become an untouchable emperor.
"Who did you learn martial arts from?" Ye Chunnan asked curiously. It seemed that no one in the capital city was good enough to be his master.
Mo Rongzhan thought of his own master, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled faintly and said, "A hidden master."
What kind of stupid answer was that? Ye Chunnan stared at him unconvinced.
"It's getting late, we should go back." Mo Rongzhan said that he would leave tomorrow. Instead of wasting time here with Ye Chunnan, it was better to go back and spend more time with Ye Rou.
Ye Chunnan shouted from behind him, "I want to fight you one-on-one!"
"You are not my match. Accidentally injuring you will make Yaoyao's heart ache." Mo Rongzhan said in an indifferent voice. Ye Chunnan was his future brother-in-law. How could he possibly compete with him?
"Mo Rongzhan!" Ye Chunnan shouted.
The two of them walked out one after the other. Before they reached the Shen Clan's main gate, they heard the sounds of fighting. Mo Rongzhan's expression changed slightly. His figure moved in an instant, but he only saw Shen Yi being sent flying by a man's palm and all the account books being snatched away.
"Your Majesty!" Shen Yi anxiously called out.
Mo Rongzhan did not chase after him. Instead, he picked up a letter that had fallen to the ground.
Shen Yi and the other injured people all knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, it was this subordinate's incompetence that allowed that person to steal the account book."
"You are no match for him." Mo Rongzhan looked at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, his face cold and silent. "Get up."
"Who stole the account book?" Ye Chunnan caught up and asked.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened. "An old friend."
"An old friend even stole your things?" Ye Chunnan laughed gloatingly. "Looks like there's no way to reopen the case from back then."
"You guys go back first." Mo Rongzhan said to Shen Yi and the others. "We'll be right back."
Ye Chunnan was curious and wanted to follow. Mo Rongzhan turned back to look at him. "You should go back and find Lord Ye and let him deal with the Shen Clan's problems. Do you want the Liu Clan to come and confiscate the house?"
Ye Chunnan narrowed his eyes. He had to admit that what Mo Rongzhan said made sense.
Mo Rongzhan did not pay any more attention to him. Instead, he leaped onto his horse and headed towards the location written in the letter.
It was a teahouse on the outskirts of the city. It was quiet and elegant, and there was not a single person in sight. Mo Rongzhan directly went to the second floor. On the balcony by the window stood a tall figure dressed in a dark blue robe.
"You came quite quickly." That person turned around, a faint smile on his handsome face.
Mo Rongzhan's handsome face was as cold as ice. "Sixth Lord."
"You're too kind." Murong Ke chuckled and pointed to the table beside him. "Sit down and talk."
"Why are you here?" Mo Rongzhan slowly walked over and tapped his fingers on the table silently.
On the round table was the account book that he had just found from the Shen Clan.
Murong Ke sat down and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. "I've always been in the capital. I didn't expect you to come as well."
"You've always been here for so many years?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"Do you think I would stay in one place for so many years?" Murong Ke asked with a smile.
Mo Rongzhan looked at him. "Sixth Brother, Murong Ke, is that you?"
Murong Ke smiled. "What do you think?"
"We have indeed been suspicious of you." Murong was their master's surname. The dignified Sixth Marquis did not even want his royal surname and directly took their master's surname to travel the world. Only he could do that.
"Little Junior Brother." Murong Ke looked at Mo Rongzhan with a smile. "You've really hidden yourself well all these years."
Mo Rongzhan's face darkened. "Don't call us that!"
"Master has always thought that you are simple, honest, and easy to bully," Murong Ke said with a smile. If Master knew that he had missed out on a good seedling like Mo Rongzhan, he would probably want to bang his head against the wall.
"What do you want to do with these account books?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
Murong Ke raised his eyebrows. "Shen Yuexuan and I are finally working together. Spare his life."
"How could you work with such a stupid person? Before he sent pirates to kidnap Yaoyao, I might have let him go." Mo Rongzhan's clear eyes were as cold as frost. He did not plan to let Shen Yuexuan go.
Murong Ke felt a pain in his heart when he mentioned Lu Yaoyao. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
"I heard that you saved Yaoyao on the White Dragon River. Thank you," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. He should have known that Murong Ke was Mo Rongke, but he did not know how he felt about Yaoyao.
Murong Ke looked at Mo Rongzhan and smiled. "I saved her. You don't need to thank me."
"When will Sixth Brother return to the Jin Nation?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile.
"You want me to go back?" Murong Ke looked at him with a faint smile.
Mo Rongzhan raised his teacup, his eyes clear. "Senior Brother, don't you want to drink a cup of wine at my wedding?"
The smile on Murong Ke's face gradually faded. "Are you sure there will be a cup of wine at my wedding?"
"There is nothing that I can't do if I want to do it. I think Senior Brother already knows this very well," Mo Rongzhan said calmly.
"There are always exceptions to everything," Murong Ke said in a low voice. He did not want to be Mo Rongzhan's opponent, but he had a heart that he should not have.
