Yu Shang came with Ji Yanwen.
Jiang Lu didn't know Yu Shang's identity; she only thought he was her classmate. After Yu Shang arrived, she took Jiang Songwen and left.
After all, men and women are different.
Seeing Jiang Lu leave, Ji Yanwen belatedly realized that Jiang Lu was already a grown woman and it was not appropriate for her to stay with men.
However, since Yu Shang was discussing matters related to the Song family, he hadn't considered all that.
"Tell me, you won't tell me unless I bring you to Pingshan. What exactly happened to the Song family?"
Yu Shang was still wearing a blue robe today. His posture was slightly crooked, but he did not appear dissolute. Instead, he had a dashing air about him.
"Here comes news from the capital."
Yu Shang peeked outside, but still couldn't see Jiang Lu and her brother.
Where are your sister-in-law and brother-in-law?
His eyes held a hint of curiosity. He had met the Song family several times and had also seen beauties like Jiang Bai, so he was quite curious about Jiang Lu and Jiang Songwen.
Ji Yanwen's face darkened.
He brought Yu Shang over without prior notice, which was already unreasonable of him.
Now, how could I dare tell him Jiang Lu's whereabouts?
After reading the message Yu Shang handed him, his brows furrowed deeply.
"Is Mrs. Song seriously ill?"
"That's what the news from the capital says: they want your brother-in-law and sister-in-law sent over there."
Yu Shang nodded nonchalantly.
Anyway, he was just a messenger; whether Jiang Lu and her brother went or not was up to them to decide.
"How could it be such a coincidence? Jiang Bai went on a long trip, and then Madam Song fell seriously ill?"
He couldn't help but overthink it.
Only he knew how much Jiang Bai valued Jiang Lu and her brother. From the time they married until now, Jiang Bai had never trusted him.
She was especially cautious about the matter between Jiang Lu and Jiang Songwen.
"I have no idea."
"That's the news. I came here specifically to ask your sister-in-law and brother-in-law what they think. If they don't want to go, I can send a message back to the capital."
"Wait a minute."
Ji Yanwen thought for a moment, then told him to wait inside and got up to go out.
"Song Fu".
"Young Master." Jia Yi, dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, appeared in front of Ji Yanwen.
Ji Yanwen glanced at him and knew that Song Fu was not his real name.
Despite his ordinary appearance, Jia Yi knew that his martial arts skills were better than many masters in the martial arts world.
At least he was no match for Song Fu.
When will Jiang Bai be back?
With Song seriously ill, the person most anxious should be Jiang Bai.
Whether or not Jiang Lu and Jiang Songwen should go to the capital depends on Jiang Bai's opinion.
He simply didn't know where she had gone.
"The young lady said she would be back in three months to six months."
"You might be sending her messages?"
Jia's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked readily, "What message does the young master wish to send to the eldest young lady?"
"Just say that your mother-in-law is seriously ill and that a letter from the capital has been sent to ask Er Ya and her brother to come to the capital immediately."
A's expression changed instantly.
Ji Yanwen didn't know where Jiang Bai had gone, but he did.
Jiang Bai came to the capital for Song Shi's sake. If Song Shi was really seriously ill, she couldn't possibly not know, and she couldn't possibly not send a message herself.
Thinking back to the people who tried to lure Jiang Lu and her brother to the capital yesterday, Jia Yi immediately realized it was a conspiracy.
"Where did you get this information, young master?"
"It is the second young master of the Prince Xin's mansion."
Since Ji Yanwen had come to find Jia Yi, he had no intention of hiding his identity as a merchant, so he naturally told him honestly.
Believe in the palace?
A had a plan in mind.
The person who lured Jiang Lu and her brother was also from the Prince Xin's mansion.
Now she is certain that Jiang Lu and her brother are being targeted.
And the people who were targeting them were from the Prince Xin's mansion.
He harbored doubts, but did not show them on his face.
"I will report this to Miss."
Ji Yanwen raised an eyebrow. Seeing that Jia Yi hadn't mentioned whether Jiang Lu and the other person should go to the capital, he knew there must be something fishy about this matter.
"Then I'll reply to him first and tell him to go back."
"Please do as you please, son-in-law."
Jia bowed respectfully with his hands clasped, glancing towards the main hall with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Yu Shang looked in this direction, noticed his gaze, and even smiled as he raised the jade pendant he was playing with.
Jiang Bai's men are really interesting; they're all skilled fighters.
Jia Yi didn't look at it much, only glanced at it before leaving.
Instead of sending a message to Jiang Bai as he had promised Ji Yanwen, he summoned a guard in black robes and instructed him to contact spies in the capital to gather information.
However, Jiang Bai's forceful entry into the city gate with the Song family gave Prince Xin's heir the opportunity to close the gate, resulting in their message going unanswered for a long time.
Just then, a messenger from the Black-Clad Guards delivered a message saying that Jiang Lü had left Pingshan with Jiang Songwen.
"Where did the second young lady go?"
The black-clad guard who reported the incident stood there, looking somewhat ashamed.
"They must have gone to the capital."
"How could those two children leave Nan'an County without travel permits?"
The guard in black robes looked stiff and remained silent.
Seeing that Jia Yi's expression was getting worse and worse, he whispered, "It was the eldest young lady who arranged it. She prepared fake travel permits for the second young lady in advance. She only said a few words to me. By the time I remembered this, they had already left."
The thought that he, a dignified member of the Xuanyi Guard, though only the lowest rank of Gui, was still a well-known figure in the entire Gui rank, yet had been fooled by a little girl, made his cheeks burn.
I'm so ashamed!
