Wei Fu did not associate the Shu family's affairs with the emperor's affairs, but Tao Zhi, as a mature adult and a member of the Dali Temple, would naturally not ignore such a matter.

Master Wuji of Dayan Temple said that he went out traveling. It was obvious that there was something fishy going on when he chose this time instead of earlier.

When Wei Fu returned to the palace, she hadn't even greeted the emperor when he picked her up and asked her with a smile, "Is there something strange about Lord Shu's family?"

Wei Fu immediately told the emperor about the Shu family's situation. After he finished speaking, he looked at the emperor with sparkling eyes. The emperor said very understandingly, "Our Fu'er is really amazing. I heard that Lord Shu had consulted many eminent monks and Taoist priests before, but they were unable to relieve his son's disaster. However, Fu'er solved the problem with just one visit."

Wei Fu raised his head proudly, like a swaggering little peacock: "Yes, Fu'er is very capable. So next time there is something like this, uncle can still let Fu'er go."

"If any adults want to buy talismans, Fu'er can also sell them."

Wei Fu now discovered that all his relatives were very rich, and his uncle's ministers were also very rich.

Not only has she earned enough money for her master's coffin, she has also earned enough money for her senior brothers' coffins, and maybe even for her junior brothers' coffins as well.

There's no way around it, since she's the youngest. All of these fellow disciples will have to rely on her for support in their old age.

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, next time if something like this happens again, uncle will find Fu'er."

The Emperor spoke to Wei Fu for a while before looking at Lord Shu. "Lord Shu's relative is Du Heng?"

"That's right." Lord Shu answered with some fear.

He was worried that the emperor would look for the Qin family.

"Summon Du Heng to the palace."

As soon as Lord Shu had this thought, he heard the emperor's order.

Prince Ping is the oldest elder in the royal family. Even the Queen Mother has to call him Uncle. The Emperor also respects this long-lived uncle very much. Now that this matter is related to Prince Ping, the Emperor will definitely investigate it carefully.

He was so happy before that he forgot about this.

I thought they could just find out about it privately.

"Please invite Master Shu and his wife into the palace." The emperor added that he did not ignore the pond Wei Fu mentioned. It was built by Du Heng's daughter after she married into the Shu family and said she liked ponds.

Lord Shu wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Du Heng and Shu Han were quickly brought into the palace, but Madam Shu was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Feng bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, Madam Shu is missing, and so is the young master of the Shu family."

Shu Han looked very unhappy. After the disaster was lifted, the first thing he did was to look for his wife and children. Since he became more and more unlucky, the couple lived separately.

The couple has been married for ten years and has a son. Because they were engaged when they were young, they grew up together and have always had a good relationship.

Not seeing anyone, he naturally asked where his wife and children had gone, but the maids said they didn't know. They said that the lady had left with two personal maids and the young master, carrying a small bag of things, and it looked like she was going back to her parents' home.

So he rode to the Du family and happened to meet Zhang Feng who was inviting Du Heng to the palace. When Zhang Feng saw Shu Han, he said that he would also invite him to the palace, and also invite his wife to the palace as well.

After asking each other, they found out that her wife and children had not returned to her parents' home at all, but there was no one at their house.

Zhang Feng left some people to investigate Mrs. Shu's whereabouts, while he himself took Shu Han and Du Heng into the palace.

Because the emperor didn't let Wei Fu leave, she ate her snacks while listening attentively. When she heard Zhang Feng's report, she said vaguely, "Xiao Shu's wife and her son are not missing. They are just at their other home."

This was a bit strange, so the emperor asked, "Fu'er, what do you mean by another home?"

"Mrs. Shu has not returned to her parents' home, nor is she at the Shu family!"

Wei Fu swallowed the snack and said, "It's just another home. Madam Xiao Shu and her children are all there."

"Fuer, do you know where that home is?"

Wei Fu patted the snack crumbs on his body, then began to calculate with his little finger: "No. 18, Yangliu Lane, North City."

The emperor glanced at Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng immediately took his men out.

"Oh, no, no, they're leaving again, heading towards the city gate. They want to leave the city."

The emperor immediately sent people to chase Zhang Feng and told Zhang Feng to block the people directly at the city gate.

Many people have heard that the emperor asked the young princess to go and see the Shu family. Du Heng also heard about it. When she saw her son-in-law arrive at the Du family safely from the Shu family, she hadn't said anything before she followed Zhang Feng into the palace in a daze. Now when she heard what was said, she was even more confused. She kept exchanging glances with her in-laws, hoping to know something.

Especially now that the emperor has sent someone to block his daughter, he feels even more uneasy.

The emperor had always known his little tricks and said, "Lord Shu, please tell Lord Du everything that happened today!"

Although Lord Shu suspected that his son's misfortune was caused by the Du family, especially since his daughter-in-law was not at her own home or her parents' home and had to leave the city at this critical juncture, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the Du family, but he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and told Du Heng about the matter.

When Du Heng heard this, he was shocked beyond words.

"The engagement jade pendant given to Han'er was something my wife asked for at Dayan Temple! It was given to us personally by Master Wuji, who said that the jade pendant was destined to be with our family."

"Engagement is a union of two families, so we took out the jade pendant as a token of our engagement. We also hope that this gift from the master will help Handan grow up healthy and live happily with my daughter forever!"

Hearing the name of Master Wuji from Dayan Temple, the Emperor and Tao Zhi exchanged glances.

Wei Fu clenched his fist and said angrily, "It's that bad monk again!"

The emperor patted her back gently and soothed her softly, "Don't be angry, Fu'er. It's not worth getting angry over that kind of person. When your uncle catches him, he will definitely punish him severely."

Wei Fu nodded heavily: "Severe punishment!"

After Du Heng was shocked, he didn't care about the occasion and pulled Shu Han with a guilty look on his face: "Han'er, it was your father-in-law who harmed you. Your father-in-law didn't know that the jade pendant was actually problematic!"

Lord Shu blurted out, "Has your family ever offended Prince Ping?"

"No! Brother Shu, you know that our ancestral home is not in the capital. I only settled here with my wife after I became an official in the capital. Neither I nor my family have ever offended Prince Ping, nor have we ever had any bad relations with anyone in Prince Ping's mansion!"

Lord Shu immediately looked at the emperor eagerly.
