Less than half a month after Mu Yunzhou left, news of the incident in the capital had already fermented and the wind direction changed drastically. Jiangnan was also affected. Although Blake Harrison was far away in Penglai Villa, there was an endless stream of people visiting him. Blake Harrison would pretend to be sick and recuperate and close the door to visitors, but there were always some persistent people who came to visit again and again. Yongming and Yongxing had to spend a lot of energy every day just to refuse guests.
It was just after 5 p.m. on the fifth day of the second month. Ethan Bennett was giving acupuncture to Blake Harrison when Yongming came running in. He lingered at the door for a long time before knocking and entering. He said cautiously, "Sir... Lord Wu from the Weaving Bureau brought a few people with him. He said there was also an official from the Ministry of Revenue. They also brought a pair of mutton-fat white jade hand toys. They were seed jade from Mount Kunlun. They were supposed to be a birthday gift for Lord Zeng."
Blake Harrison frowned and said, "Birthday gift? Why send it to Zeng's house? Why bring it to my door?"
Yongming said thoughtfully, "I heard that I went there a few days ago. Mr. Zeng said that this pair of mutton-fat jade is a rare treasure. I'm sure you will like it. I asked him to send it to you."
Blake Harrison was silent for a moment, wondering what he was thinking about.
