"Don't just stand there, quickly take men and go look for them! First, go to the city gate and thoroughly check all passing vehicles."
Gu Erlang hurriedly left with his yamen runners, but Chen Yu stood there stunned, tears welling up in her eyes, yet a smile played on her lips.
She had intended to verify Hongyu's remains; if they contained three fingers, she could confirm they belonged to Ginkgo and that Hongyu was still alive. Now that the remains were gone, it was clear that Hongyu was secretly playing a game with her.
The suicide of Liao Guanjia, the arrest of Qiu Shuang'er, the theft of her body, and even the fire in the Xue family's warehouse must all be orchestrated by Hongyu, since the Sixth Prince and Wang Baochai are already imprisoned.
I'm afraid that the masked woman was also following Hongyu's orders. Don't forget, it was Hongyu who betrayed Qiu Xue'er in the first place.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu frowned slightly, filled with worry.
Yan Wang rushed over, his eyes red. He spoke only after reaching Shen Yu, "Shen Yu, Shuang'er is pregnant. She might not be able to handle being in prison. All the evidence proving her innocence is gone, and Qiu Xue'er is nowhere to be found. Do you have any way to help Shuang'er get off the hook?"
"Perhaps there's another way. Zhang Manguan's silver notes were stolen. Could the culprit have used the notes to exchange for silver?"
Upon hearing this, King Yan turned and left.
As Shen Yu walked out of the yamen, she saw the carriage of Prince Jing's mansion waiting at the gate. Cuiwei and two servants hurriedly came forward and bowed to her.
Cuiwei reported, "Miss, the villa in Qinghe County was unsealed yesterday. Prince Jing has sent people to take Madam Jia and the others to Qinghe County, and has also sent Shen Lan and Chi Yan to escort us back."
Shen Yu understood that Prince Jing did not want her to get involved in the case, so he sent her away from the capital.
She glanced sideways and saw that although the two servants were young and tender, they were quite burly and strong. One of them, a servant with a blue hairband, had already set up the saddlebags and gestured for her to get into the carriage.
"Please, young lady."
Chen Yu nodded, and just as she stepped onto the horse stool, a group of people passed by and ran eastward.
"This is truly gratifying! The villain who abused Wang Baozhu has been caught, and the Dali Temple is about to hold a trial."
