In the afternoons, Zhao Moyan spent his free time reading and practicing calligraphy with Tangyuan, and Tian Yu was forced to practice along as well. While Tian Yu was worrying about how to escape, Steward Zhou came to report that a man named Zhao Jincheng had come to see the Marquis in urgent need. Tian Yu remembered that Zhao Jinxiu had come twice before but they hadn't met, so she said to Zhao Moyan, "Let's go see him quickly! Zhao Jinxiu came before; perhaps it's something urgent?"

Tian Yu entrusted the two children to Green Willow and Autumn Chrysanthemum, who had been waiting outside the courtyard for the past few days. Although Tian Yu usually didn't need their help, she still hoped someone could look after the children, which was why she agreed to let them stay. Tian Yu had also noticed that the two girls were not only beautiful but also nimble, which put her at ease. Arriving at the door with Zhao Moyan, Zhao Jincheng, who had been pacing anxiously outside, quickly stepped forward and said, "Lord Marquis, Tian Yu, I apologize for disturbing you both, but I have no choice. My sister, Zhao Jinxiu, went out this morning and hasn't returned yet. We've sent people to search for her, but they haven't found her. I beg Your Excellency to help us." He then knelt down to kowtow.

Zhao Moyan helped him up and said, "Brother Jincheng, no! Please get up quickly. Tell me in detail when your sister went missing and where she last appeared, and I will send people to help search for her."

“Yes! Zhao Jincheng, don’t worry. Think carefully about where Zhao Jinxiu has been and whether there are any suspicious places,” Tian Yu also reminded him.

“Jinxiu and I came to stay temporarily at my aunt’s house in the county town. I came to prepare for the county examination. My father originally did not agree to her coming, but she insisted on coming no matter what I said, and I couldn’t stop her. Later, I was busy preparing for the exam and had no time to take care of her. She usually stayed with my aunt, and occasionally went out for a stroll by herself, but she was always safe and sound. But who knew that this time she went out and never came back. Later, I heard from my aunt that she came to see the Marquis. I wonder if the Marquis has seen her.” Zhao Jincheng finished speaking and looked at Zhao Moyan with hopeful eyes.

“Never seen it before!” Zhao Moyan said definitively.

"Where could Jinxiu have gone? Could she have run into some bad people?" Zhao Jincheng panicked.

"Zhao Jincheng, don't overthink it. Let's look for her again. Maybe she ran into someone she knew and forgot the time?" Tian Yu comforted her.

“But it’s been a whole day, and it’s almost dark. She usually doesn’t go out for this long,” Zhao Jincheng said.

"Let's go to some of the stores she frequents and look for her there," Tian Yu suggested.

"Brother Jincheng, don't worry, we'll go with you to look for it," Zhao Moyan said.

The three of them, carrying the portrait Zhao Jincheng had hastily prepared, inquired along the way and went to nearby shops, but none of them had seen Zhao Jinxiu. Finally, they arrived at the entrance of Yuelai Restaurant. Tian Yu suddenly remembered seeing Zhao Jinxiu and Zhao Sibao coming out of here before, so she went into the restaurant to ask. As soon as she entered, Manager Qian greeted her with a smile and said, "Madam, is there something you need at this time?" He then looked at the two people behind Tian Yu, bowed to Zhao Moyan, and called him "Lord Marquis".

"I just happened to be passing by and came in to take a look. Has Manager Qian seen this young lady before?" Tian Yu said, taking out a portrait for Manager Qian to see.

Shopkeeper Qian examined it carefully and said, "It seems like I've seen it somewhere before."

"Where did you see it, shopkeeper?" Zhao Jincheng asked excitedly.

"There were so many customers today, I can't remember them all right now. Let me think about it." Manager Qian said, trying hard to recall.

The three of them stood anxiously waiting in front of the door. Tian Yu looked at Zhao Moyan, who gave her a reassuring look.

"It seems she came here with a man around noon today. Yes! It was her! She had lunch here and then left."

"A man! What does he look like?" Zhao Jincheng asked excitedly.

"I can't remember that. I was too busy at the time and only glanced at it. I didn't really pay attention to it," Manager Qian said apologetically.

Tian Yu looked at Zhao Moyan and stepped forward, saying, "Is that man about this tall, thin, with shifty eyes and a somewhat decadent look, with a lewd appearance?" Tian Yu gestured with her hand to describe Zhao Sibao's appearance.

"Hmm! It does seem somewhat similar, now that you describe it like that, Madam, it certainly is," Manager Qian said with a smile.

"Who is it?" Zhao Jincheng asked Tian Yu quickly.

Tian Yu looked at Zhao Moyan before saying, "Zhao Sibao!"

"Zhao Sibao!?" Zhao Jincheng was somewhat incredulous.

"What a coincidence to run into the Marquis and his wife here." Prince Wu, Huang Xuan, and several servants came down from upstairs.

Tian Yu thought to herself, "How come I keep running into them everywhere?" She gave a simple greeting, and Zhao Moyan gave Zhao Jincheng a brief introduction. Zhao Jincheng quickly knelt down to pay his respects.

Prince Wu nodded, indicating that there was no need for formalities, and said to Tian Yu with a smile, "I was wondering who would describe someone like that. It turns out it was you. Excessive indulgence?! A lewd look?! That's a really fresh way to put it. I'd also like to see what a man who looks like this is like."

"Your Highness, we're looking for someone, so we won't disturb you any longer," Zhao Moyan said, taking Tian Yu's hand and preparing to leave.

"Wait! You guys go with them to find him, and make sure you bring him back here." Prince Wu was getting excited and beckoned to the people behind him.

Seeing this, Zhao Jincheng quickly bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Tian Yu glanced at Zhao Moyan, whose face was ashen, sighed, turned to Prince Wu, and said, “Your Highness, you are kind and compassionate, but this concerns a woman’s innocence. We do not want to make a big fuss before the matter is clarified. What you are doing is inappropriate.”

After saying that, she winked at Zhao Jincheng. Zhao Jincheng thought about it and quickly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, but Tian Yu is right. This concerns my younger sister's reputation, so it's best not to make a fuss about it for now."

"In that case, you may all step back. I will go with you."

"Your Highness, this is unsafe!" Huang Xuan spoke up first to stop him.
