Chapter 833 - 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.

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.
