The woman burst into tears again as she spoke, and Yan Wang, still uneasy, continued to inquire, "What other distinguishing features does that woman have? Where is her hairpin?"
“She… was wearing a face mask, and had boils on her forehead and hands.” As she spoke, the woman took out a hairpin and earrings from her sleeve and handed them to the Prince of Yan.
Yan Wang looked down and saw that it was a red jade hairpin and red jade earrings.
Standing not far away, Chen Yu also happened to see Hong Yu's jewelry. She was startled and became uneasy. She pressed her hand to her chest and silently comforted herself: It's just a coincidence. Hong Yu is hiding at Brother Zhao's house.
"The Beauty Who Sinks Fish!"
Shen Yu turned around and her expression instantly turned serious. She saw that Brother Zhao looked anxious and was covered in sweat.
She realized something was terribly wrong and dared not ask if Hongyu was safe.
Brother Zhao said in a deep voice, "As soon as she arrived at my place, she went inside with Dongqiao to rest, saying that she didn't need dinner. Later, I sent someone to deliver medicine, and then there was no one in the room."
Shen Yu's vision went black, and she fainted.

When Chen Yu opened her eyes, it was already the next day at 9:00 AM. Her eyes were blank and she didn't utter a sound.
Cuiwei stood by the bed and reported, "Miss, the Prince of Yan has ordered the government to investigate the fire on the passenger ship. Also, yesterday when we moved in, the lame man left in a hurry. Granny Rong secretly followed him and saw that he was staying in a dilapidated temple, so she brought him bedding and food."
"Girl, please get up and go see An'er and Ping'er. We returned last night at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), and An'er and Ping'er wouldn't go to sleep until they saw you. They woke up early this morning crying and looking for you."
Shen Yu closed her eyes, remaining silent, but tears streamed down her face.
She gave everything to protect Hongyu, but in the end, Hongyu still died!
But who set fire to the passenger ship? You see, Hongyu claimed that she had Yan Wang's letter, and that Yan Wang would not kill Hongyu if he could not find the letter.
Could it be that someone else wants Hongyu dead?
Zhang Manguan? He took the money and killed someone to cover it up; he deserves a terrible death.
Thinking of all this, Chen Yu sat up in anger, gritting her teeth and panting heavily.
At this moment, Jiu'er ran in and reported in a panic, "Miss, Zhang Manguan was murdered last night. Master Shen suspects you are the murderer and has filed a complaint against you at the Dali Temple. Judge Bao has summoned you to the Dali Temple for questioning."
