Could it be that he is not the Queen's man and doesn't want to capture me back?
And Mingzhu, is she really Master Li’s person?
That night, Shanshui thought for a long time in the study but couldn't come up with a solution. It was not until Cheng Jinxing came to call him that he put aside all these things and followed Cheng Jinxing back to the Cheng family.
…
After the Lantern Festival, it rained for four consecutive days.
The 20th day of the first lunar month is the 37th day of Lianxiang.
Because the tavern was open and Gu Xuelan was busy with the affairs of Ruyi Manor, Cheng Jinyan took his servant and the second boy of the He family to the mountain to burn paper for Lianxiang.
"A Fei, did you notice anything wrong?"
When they arrived at the cemetery and lit some incense and candles, Cheng Jinyan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Young Master, are you talking about this pile? Didn't the Madam say that someone in the village paid money to burn the seventh day of mourning for Madam Ming?"
He Fei didn't notice anything wrong at all.
"No, this pile was burned by Aunt Feng this morning, but what about this pile?"
"It's been raining for several days straight. This pile can't be from the last time we burned it. Looking at the ashes, it must have been burned between last night and this morning. It must be Mingzhu. It must have been Mingzhu who came back to burn it for Aunt Xiang!"
Cheng Jinyan analyzed.
"Even if it happened after last night and before this morning, it doesn't necessarily mean it was Miss Mingzhu! It could have been Master Mingliang who came back and burned it."
He Fei said.
"No, it won't happen. Uncle Liang is so busy, and he went out to look for Mingzhu this time. He specifically gave money to Aunt Feng's family to help. How could it be Uncle Liang? It must be Mingzhu, it must be Mingzhu! Mingzhu must be back. Ah Fei, you finish burning here, I'm going to look for Mingzhu!"
Cheng Jinyan stood up and ran away.
"Young Master, Young Master!"
He Fei was holding the basket, and it was not right to chase him, nor was it right not to chase him.
He had no choice but to burn them all quickly and then hurried home to report.
"Old Madam, Old Master, has the eldest young master returned?"
When He Fei arrived home, only Jiang and Cheng Shun were at home. Cheng Yue and Cheng Minhong took Ning Wazi for a walk in the village, and Xue Hanyu was taken out to play by Ji Mingxuan.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go to the mountain to burn paper with Jin Yan?"
Cheng Shun asked with his hands behind his back.
"Grandpa, I..."
He Fei recounted what had just happened.
"You bastard! You're such a bastard! You bastard!"
Cheng Shun was so angry that he kept cursing.
"Oh, oh, stop scolding him. He can't hear you scolding him now. Ah Fei, go all the way to the government office and find Jin Xing and Ah Wu. Ask them to keep an eye on Jin Yan in the city. If you find him, bring him back. Oh, tell Jin Yan's mother too."
Jiang patted Cheng Shun and instructed Ah Fei.
"Yes, old lady!"
He Fei received the order and went out.
"I'll go to the Ming family and take a look. If that little girl is really back, she probably forgot to bring her clothes. Didn't Mingliang say that she ran away without taking anything? Old man, do you want to go and take a look?"
He Fei left, and Jiang said again.
"Look! Why don't you go and look! If I see that damn girl, I'm going to beat her up! That bad girl!"
Cheng Shun put his hands behind his back and went out with Jiang.
When the old couple went out, they met Cheng Yue, Cheng Minhong and their aunt and niece who were returning. They didn't say anything and told them to go back by themselves and not to run around.
Then he left in a hurry.
"Oh my! What are uncle and aunt doing? Sister Yue, take Ning with you! I want to go and see what's going on too!"
Cheng Minhong said something and followed after him.
