Prince Cheng Yaojin and his fellow officials were eager to save Ren Gui from execution. Seeing Xu Maogong enter the court, they were overjoyed, expecting him to intervene. However, Ren Gui was still sent to the celestial prison. The previous chapter mentioned the reunion of Xue Ren Gui, which will not be elaborated on here. Now, let's say Prince Cheng Yaojin returned to the capital to report to the emperor, and all officials gathered for the court session. After the ceremony, they exited the court gate and returned to their respective residences. Lady Pei greeted him, saying, "You must be tired after your journey!" Cheng Yaojin replied, "This business venture paid off. I indeed became a good envoy, earning over thirty thousand taels of silver. If I could do a few more like this, I'd be even better off." The other princes bid farewell and returned to their residences. There were also eight commanders-in-chief, including Zhou Qing, who came to pay their respects and inquire about Xue's brother. Cheng Yaojin said, "He has two wives and a daughter, so there's no need to worry about him." Zhou Qing told Jiang Xingbao and the others.
