They didn't bring any particularly useful information that night, only saying that Yu Shuo had appeared in a place called Zao Village, but then the trail went cold.
Qin Su asked Chongyang to contact the people at Dengyue Tower, but since Dengyue Tower was an open organization, they would be subject to official control. So Chongyang gave up on that idea and returned to explain the situation to Qin Su truthfully.
Qin Su didn't press the matter further.
The city lord of Shacheng is no good, and she doesn't want to expose Yu Shuo's current situation, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.
She didn't sleep well that night; her dreams were fragmented and filled with unfamiliar images.
She didn't know where she was, only that this was perhaps one of the more scenic spots in Shacheng.
Before her lay a lake, and a few hundred steps ahead, she could see a waterfall that looked like an upside-down golden hook, with a powerful flow of water cascading down from a great height, creating large splashes of water. Not far to her right were several thatched huts. She wanted to go closer to see what was going on, but no matter which way she went, the thatched huts were so close yet so far away.
The scene before her eyes was like being cleaved by swords, and she woke up with a start, still vaguely remembering everything from the dream.
She got up to drink a cup of tea, rubbed her temples, and really didn't know what this dream meant or what kind of omen it was.
If it were before her rebirth, she would definitely say that she was superstitious and that it was just a dream. But since she was able to be reborn, what's so strange about the guidance in the dream?
However, not knowing the specific information at the moment, she could only lie down again, staring at the plain-colored Chengchen, and sighed again.
I wonder how my daughter is doing now, and whether she cries when she knows her mother isn't around.
She was a little worried, but the thought of her daughter softened her expression.
She will bring the child's father home.
Qin Su turned to her side and tried to rest.
The next morning.
Qin Su was awakened by the knocking. She got up, grabbed the cloak next to her, put it on, and opened the door.
"There's news! There's news about Prince Chen!" Zhuang Heyu gasped for breath, his eyes dark and swollen.
Needless to say, this person must have stayed up all night without rest.
Qin Su felt a little guilty but also quite grateful to this person.
"Tell me about it." She gestured for Zhuang Heyu to come in and talk.
Zhuang Heyu didn't stand on ceremony and strode in, bypassing the crudely made screen without looking at the inner resting area, his eyes respectful and proper.
Lian Tao and Chongyang also rushed in after hearing the commotion, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Qin Su was safe and sound.
“Our people have found Prince Chen’s location, but…” He hesitated, a look of reluctance on his face.
"Just say what you want to say." She really disliked people who hesitated when it came to important matters; it was a waste of time.
"Prince Chen seems to have lost his mind."
Qin Su felt her head was spinning and she could barely hear what the people around her were saying.
"What?" Chongyang was the first to speak.
"When we found that place, a woman saved His Highness Prince Chen. According to her, Prince Chen fell off a cliff and woke up with the mind of a child," Zhuang Heyu explained.
He felt this was a cruel fact. They had just gotten married, how could they have encountered such a thing?
Qin Su could no longer sit still. She suddenly stood up and said, "Lead the way!"
Black markets, auctions, even if Xue Huai'an really wanted to collude with the city lord of Shacheng, none of it mattered.
She can accept anything as long as the people she cares about are safe and sound.
As Zhuang Heyu walked, he said, "Young Master's situation is quite complicated right now. He has the mind of a child and is somewhat irritable. He doesn't allow anyone to get close to him, and he even beat that woman several times."
He was more discreet in public and didn't mention that he was Prince Chen.
Qin Su didn't care about anything else. Even without washing up, she just tied her hair up casually with a hairband, and then rode her horse with Zhuang Heyu leading the way.
Zhuang Heyu's men quickly led Qin Su out of the city, and within an hour they arrived at the oasis. Further down, the scene before Qin Su felt extremely familiar.
It seems familiar.
It was the place she dreamed about last night.
The thatched hut that she couldn't reach last night was now right in front of her. She dismounted and hurriedly knocked on the door.
Chongyang also nervously stayed by Qin Su's side.
The person who opened the door was a pretty young woman. She stared at the newcomers warily. "Who...who are you?"
Qin Su said directly, "We're here to find the person you saved a few days ago." She didn't reveal her identity directly, mainly to see what the person in front of her thought.
The woman frowned. "What do you want?" She knocked on the door, clearly not wanting them to come in.
“I am his family, so of course I have to take him back. We also remember the young lady’s life-saving grace and will repay her with a generous gift,” Qin Su said to her, her sharp eyes fixed on her.
The woman bit her lip. "What evidence do you have?"
Qin Su realized that this woman didn't want anyone to take Yu Shuo away.
"Lian Tao, hold her down."
Lian Tao immediately pulled the woman aside. The woman clearly didn't know martial arts and cried out in fear, "Little fool, run! Someone's going to catch you!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Su turned and glared at the woman, utterly disliking the insulting term.
Zhuang Heyu and Chongyang didn't like him either, but since this person had saved Yu Shuo's life, they couldn't repay kindness with enmity.
There seemed to be movement inside the house. Qin Su rushed in and grabbed the man who was trying to climb out the window but failed several times.
The familiar feeling, the familiar smell—she could still recognize it even when it was overwhelmed by the strong smell of medicine.
Qin Su's eyes welled up with tears; her long-held worries were about to burst forth at this moment.
"You silly boy, you silly boy, run!"
The woman was still shouting outside, but Lian Tao quickly covered her mouth.
Qin Su pressed the man down on the bed and stared intently at the timid man with clear eyes in front of her.
"Yu Shuo?" she called out tentatively.
"Who...who are you? I don't know you, let me go." Although he shouted, he didn't struggle. His eyes looked at the person in front of him with curiosity and fear.
"I am your wife, the wife you personally begged to marry with eight sedan chairs." Qin Su's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but hug him.
"Wife?" Yu Shuo was stunned, then asked, "What is a wife?"
Qin Su let go of him. "A wife is a role you can only have once in your life, just like your father and your mother."
She was afraid that if she spoke in too profound a language, Yu Shuo wouldn't understand.
The once high and mighty Prince Chen, hailed as a war god by the border people, and beloved by countless noble ladies even in the capital, has now fallen into this state.
Qin Su felt so heartbroken she could hardly breathe, and tears streamed down her face.
Yu Shuo became anxious and hurriedly wiped away her tears, saying, "Don't cry, I believe you. I dreamed about you."
"Although I don't know what 'wife' means, since I can dream about you, you must be very, very important to me."
Qin Su grasped his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, it's very, very important to you."
