After all, half a day had passed, and even if she walked slowly, she should be out of the city.
But Situ Yao always felt that Su Mengyan was still here! She was usually a little clever and liked to find new ways out. According to her way of doing things, she would definitely stay in the most dangerous place, wait for the storm to pass, and then slowly leave.
Thinking of Su Mengyan's slippery personality, Situ Yao planned in his mind how to punish her after finding her, so that he could suppress his anger.
"Sir, how about we post a notice?" Qing Feng suggested.
Situ Yao quickly rejected the proposal, "No!"
"The Bai family is watching this place, we can't alert them." Situ Yao said in a deep voice, "No one should be exposed. Check all the inns in the town. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must find the person!"
Naturally, the guards did not dare to disobey his orders and sent everyone out.
Su Mengyan was hiding in the inn. The waiter knocked on the door, startling her. She came out wrapped tightly and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Isn't it hot, girl?" The guy was confused by her strange behavior and asked doubtfully.
Su Mengyan coughed heavily a few times and said weakly, "I have no choice. If I wasn't afraid of infecting other people, I wouldn't want to wrap it up."
After hearing this, the guy retreated a long way away as if he had seen the plague god, and said with disgust, "Since you are sick, why don't you just stay at home? Why are you causing trouble for others?"
Su Mengyan was very dissatisfied when she heard this. "I gave you enough money. You don't care what disease I have. Just deliver the food to my door on time. I guarantee that I won't infect you."
The waiter couldn't argue with her, so he put the food in front of her and ran very fast, as if if he ran slower, Su Mengyan's disease would really be transmitted to him.
Seeing the waiter frightened by her, Su Mengyan smiled slyly and happily took the food back. Suddenly, she saw a few familiar people coming downstairs. Although they were all dressed in ordinary people's clothes, Su Mengyan still recognized them at a glance!
They are Situ Yao’s personal guards!
"Gentlemen, do you want to stop by or stay overnight?" The waiter looked at people with a fierce look, and immediately knew that these people in front of him were people he couldn't afford to offend, so he smiled in an extremely flattering manner.
Qing Feng threw him a silver ingot and asked him in a low voice, "Have you seen this person?"
What he was holding in his hand was a portrait of Su Mengyan, which was painted by Situ Yao himself. It was very lifelike and one could tell it was her at a glance.
However, because of Su Mengyan's intimidation just now, the guy didn't even look at her, so he had no idea what she looked like. So he shook his head affirmatively, "Never seen her!"
"Think about it carefully. Have you really never seen it?" Qingfeng didn't want to give up just like that. This was the last inn they were looking for.
"Sir, I've never seen her before." The waiter smiled. "The girl in the painting is very good-looking. If I had been here before, I would have recognized her at first sight."
Su Mengyan, who was hiding in the corner, heard every word they said.
Qingfeng seemed to notice that someone was watching them, and his sharp eyes accurately captured Su Mengyan's back.
"Who is that?" He just thought the man's behavior was strange, so he asked another question.
The waiter also saw Su Mengyan and said in a very disdainful tone, "She is a tuberculosis patient who is staying in the inn and won't leave even if we chase her away."
Qing Feng had no doubts, because the person's body shape also looked different from Su Mengyan's. Unable to find the person here, he immediately went somewhere else.
Su Mengyan didn't stick her head out until they left. Fortunately, she had lied before, otherwise she would have been exposed.
Situ Yao would not let her go so easily. He even sent Qing Feng out. It was unknown when she could leave this place. Thinking of this, Su Mengyan couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Your Highness, we have searched everywhere, but we couldn't find Concubine Su." Qingfeng led his men back to the villa.
"I will go find him myself tomorrow!" Situ Yao cursed him as a waste and left after saying this.
"Brother Prince, let's go find Yan'er." Yun Fu didn't know that Su Mengyan had run away, and happily wanted to go find her with Situ Yao.
She has figured it out. Since she has to find a sister-in-law anyway, she might as well find one she doesn't dislike. So Yun Fu now wants to do her best to match Situ Yao and Su Mengyan.
Situ Yao said with a cold face and gritted teeth, "She ran away!"
"Who ran away?" Yun Fu didn't react for a moment.
"Su Mengyan ran away, and I'm looking for her." When Situ Yao said this name, these three words popped out from between his teeth.
Yun Fu was completely stunned. "We had agreed to bring her back, why did she run away?"
"Brother Prince, didn't you guys have an agreement that day?" Yun Fu asked her.
Situ Yao didn't know the reason. Su Mengyan was clearly more obedient than ever that day, agreeing to everything he said. But who knew that after just one night, she disappeared.
"Did Prince find her?" Yun Fu looked like she was about to cry. The search for her sister-in-law, which she had been looking for with great difficulty, was over before it even began.
"Not found yet." Situ Yao was wondering in his mind where Su Mengyan would be hiding. He had already sent people to guard the city gate. As long as someone who looked like her passed by, someone would come back and tell him immediately.
But the strange thing was that there was no trace of her in the city. Even if she had extraordinary abilities, could she have avoided the search of the guards? Or had he really underestimated her before?
"Your Highness, Princess, you are all here." Cui Mixue greeted them familiarly, even though no one paid any attention to her.
Cui Mixue happened to overhear a few words and asked worriedly, "Is Yan'er missing?"
Yun Fu sneered, "What? Miss Cui is going to go get her back?"
"Actually, Yan'er said a long time ago that she didn't want to stay in the palace and wanted to go out and see the world." Cui Mixue's words sounded like the truth. Yun Fu had to put aside his prejudice against her and asked anxiously, "Did she say where she wanted to go?"
"Jiangnan!" Cui Mixue said without hesitation, "Yan'er said she loves Jiangnan, but she's trapped in the palace and can't get out."
"Brother Prince, should we send someone south to see if we can catch up?" Yun Fu would not trust Cui Mixue easily, but now they had no clue how to find her, so they could only believe her temporarily.
Situ Yao didn't nod, his deep eyes fixed on Cui Mixue, "Did she really say she wanted to leave the palace?"
"Absolutely true!" Cui Mixue smiled silently in her heart, "Yan'er has said more than once that she hates the palace rules that restrict her, and she doesn't seem to like His Highness either, so she doesn't want to stay in the palace."
