Nanqianyue frowned as she opened the note, which read:
To save the person, two things must be done: first, the authorities must not be alerted; second, the 10,000 taels of gold must be transported to the Yeting Pavilion at the eastern corner of Hengyang. If anything goes wrong, they will be collecting the body.
"Damn it," Nan Qianyue cursed under her breath, folding the note and handing it to the housekeeper. "Keep it safe, don't lose it."
The butler carefully took the note; now that the Prime Minister was gone, the eldest daughter was his pillar of support.
"Eldest sister, I have gathered all the guards in the manor here. It is definitely not enough to raise ten thousand taels of gold. We can only take people to search. I do not believe that under the emperor's nose, those villains would dare to be so arrogant as to kill the prime minister's wife!"
As the moon swept across the rows of guards during the southward migration, Lin Fei was nowhere to be seen.
Where is Lin Fei?
The blind butler said, "He went back to his hometown. I heard that tomorrow is the anniversary of his mother's death, so Madam asked him to go back early."

They have been solving cases for many years and are definitely more experienced than us.”
The steward nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, this old servant will go right away."
"Wait, has anyone been sent to inform Father about this?"
Nan Yichu said anxiously, "We have already sent people, but Father was kept in the palace by His Majesty. The people from the Prime Minister's residence can only wait outside the palace and dare not make this public."
Nanqian Yue solemnly said, "Alright, do as I say first, go quickly."
"Big sister, you're not going to go alone, are you? That won't do, it's too dangerous! I'll leave half the guards behind!"
Before Nan Yichu could finish speaking, two dark figures flew down from the roof, startling him and the butler.
