Chapter 317: Such a similar face!
As Rong Ying entered the living room and saw Yu Shengsheng, she stopped suddenly.
The faces that had been reserved just now were instantly filled with fear as if they had seen a demon.
"ah!"
She screamed, staggered and almost fell.
Yao Mengchen also told her not to be afraid of Fu Qingyin, but as soon as she entered the door, she was frightened by Yu Shengsheng.
Seeing her fall, he quickly grabbed her arm, and when she stood firm, he immediately let go.
"Are you okay?"
"No...it's okay." Rongying lowered his head and dared not look again.
This abnormal scene was so strange that not only Fu Qingyin, but also Yu Shengsheng and Yao Mengchen noticed something was wrong.
Yao Mengchen asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"
Rongying held onto the door frame, and the paper and pen in his hand fell down: "I... I feel a little dizzy."
Yao Mengchen was about to speak when Fu Qingyin said, "Since you are not feeling well, go back and rest first."
Rong Ying was overjoyed. He bowed and left without saying anything more.
Yao Mengchen hurried to catch up.
"you……"
Rongying's face turned pale, he said nothing, and quickly returned to the yard.
"Doctor Yao, I...I feel a little unwell and want to rest for a while."
Yao Mengchen nodded: "Then I'll give it to you..."
"No need, I'll just lie down for a while, sorry."
She turned and went into the house, closing the door.
Yao Mengchen was confused, but there was nothing he could do.
In the front hall, Yu Shengsheng was also puzzled and touched his face: "What's wrong with her?"
Fu Qingyin said nonchalantly: "My body is not fully recovered yet. Maybe I feel unwell, or I feel dizzy and have auditory and visual hallucinations or something."
Yu Shengsheng was very interested: "The commander knows so much?"
"Of course," Fu Qingyin smiled, "Since we want to investigate, we need to get as much information as possible."
As he was speaking, Yao Mengchen came back.
"How is that girl? Is she okay?" Yu Shengsheng asked.
"It's okay, just take a rest for a while."
Yao Mengchen was actually very puzzled, but he didn't know what was going on, so he didn't know what to say.
Fu Qingyin raised her eyes to look at him, and his heart was shocked.
"Princess, I have prepared the medicine packs. Can you go and help? Let them all get tested."
Yu Shengsheng came here to help, so she readily agreed when she heard this.
"good."
She glanced at Fu Qingyin, and Fu Qingyin nodded slowly.
"You go first. It's not convenient for me to go over there. I'll just hang around here. When you're done, we'll meet here again."
"yes."
Yu Shengsheng stood up and followed Yao Mengchen.
Fu Qingyin also stood up and walked into the courtyard, where the guards assigned from Prince Ming's Palace were on duty.
"Where does that woman live?"
…
Rongying was not asleep. She was sitting at the table under the window, feeling uneasy.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. She asked loudly, "Who is it?"
"Open the door."
It was a man's voice, and a strange one.
Rong Ying became alert: "Who are you? I..."
Before he could finish his words, the door was pushed open and a figure flashed into the outer room.
Rongying saw the touch of red through the beaded curtain and remembered that the man she had just met in the front hall was also dressed in red.
But she was too flustered at the time and did not pay attention to what he looked like. She only remembered Yao Mengchen saying that this man was a commander, in a high position with great power and a cold personality, and told her not to be afraid.
Rong Ying quickly stood up. The person who was repeatedly warned by Yao Mengchen must be really scary.
She walked quickly to the outer room, bowed, and did not dare to look up.
"Greetings, Commander."
Fu Qingyin got straight to the point: "What's going on?"
When Rong Ying heard this, her heart trembled. She lowered her head and could only see the corner of the man's robe and black boots. Despite this, she still felt his compelling aura.
"I……"
"Tell the truth."
Rong Ying's breathing quickened, his hands were clenched so tightly that his nails turned blue and white.
"Reporting to the commander, that girl looks very much like the woman with the beast-headed man."
Fu Qingyin roughly guessed that it was related to the matter of the house, but he didn't expect that this was the first sentence she said.
"presumptuous!"
Rongying was so frightened that he knelt down quickly.
"Jongying doesn't dare to lie."
"I was imprisoned and survived a near-death experience before I could see the light of day again. How could I speak nonsense and frame a girl I had never met? She does look very similar to that woman, at least 70% to 80%. If you suddenly see her without any preparation, or under certain circumstances, at first glance, she will look very similar."
"but……"
Fu Qingyin snorted softly, with a raised tone at the end.
Rong Ying's heart was shocked, and she quickly said, "But, when I came back and thought about it carefully, she is much younger than that woman. That woman should be around 30 years old."
Fu Qingyin didn't say anything for a while, he turned the ring and thought to himself.
Fortunately, he was the only one who heard this.
Fortunately, there was no one else there at this time.
Fu Qingyin stared at the top of Rong Ying's head and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Rongying felt a surge of pressure above her head, cold sweat soaked her clothes, and she almost couldn't control her trembling.
"I……"
"Don't bother with those lies. I want to hear the truth."
Rongying was silent for a while, and whispered: "Replying to the commander, I am Shen Rongying, the daughter of Lincheng prefect Shen Mingzhou."
Fu Qingyin narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for her to continue.
"My sister Qingying and I were planning to go to the capital to file a complaint and seek justice for our father, but halfway through, something like this happened. Not only did we fail to avenge our father, but we were also unable to protect ourselves."
Fu Qingyin's face was solemn. "I have met Lincheng Prefect Shen Mingzhou once before. He has a good reputation and is considered a good official."
"What's wrong with him?"
The position of prefect was not very high in the capital, being only the fourth rank, but in the local area, it was considered a high-ranking official. Ordinary people would think that a county magistrate was the highest official they saw, let alone a prefect.
Chen Rongying kowtowed: "There was an official from the Governor's Office in Lincheng, saying that they wanted to select some women to go to the capital. My father was there at the time, so the Governor-General assigned this task to him."
"I thought this was the intention of the court. Choosing a woman not to go to Beijing is for the sake of the royal family, right? So my father agreed."
"But for some reason, one night, he suddenly told my mother that he was going to see the governor to report something important. His demeanor was different than usual. My mother had a bad feeling and asked him what it was, but he refused to say."
"I left home in a hurry at night, and never came back."
"My sister and I found out about it the next morning when we went to pay our respects to our mother. We waited the whole day but our father didn't come back. Normally, he would come back the same day when he went to the Governor's Mansion, even if the journey was long."
"We waited patiently for another two days, and then three days in a row, but there was no news. So my mother decided to go look for him herself and asked my sisters to wait at home."
"But this wait means we have to wait until our mother's body is back."
Shen Rongying shed tears: "My mother is kind and gentle, and has never had any grudges against anyone. In the cold winter, she would open a porridge shop and work with the women from ordinary families to make winter clothes for the elderly and children of poor families."
"But she was... covered in wounds, it was horrible to look at."
"As for my father, there is no news at all."
