In the end, it was only after Sang Liwan ceded land and paid countless compensations that Jun Moyi agreed to tell her about Boss Du.
After hearing his words, Sang Liwan was silent for a long time.
She even thought it was a little outrageous.
She suddenly found it difficult to understand Liu Shang.
Not seeing the expected surprise on Sang Liwan's face, Jun Moyi's brows frowned almost instantly.
"Wanwan, aren't you happy?"
Sang Liwan suddenly came back to his senses from his thoughts.
She shook her head. "Why not? I just feel it's a little strange."
"Tell me about it."
"I originally thought Liu Shang was a loyal subordinate to the Queen. Until the very end, he was directing our attention towards Chen Yan, never revealing a single piece of information about the Queen. Yet, she actually hid something so important in secret, and even tried to save her own life at the last moment. It's clear she's not completely unaware of the Queen's character."
Jun Moyi did not deny Sang Liwan's words. On the contrary, his thoughts were similar to Sang Liwan's.
Liu Shang was working for the Queen, but in fact, she knew in her heart that the Queen would not really let her family go, so she left this life-saving talisman so that one day she could ask Boss Du to come to Prince An's Mansion to exchange with her.
Jun Moyi opened his folding fan and chuckled, "She actually trusts me and isn't afraid that I'll destroy the bridge after crossing it."
Sang Liwan felt that Liu Shang might not think so. She might just want to take a gamble.
As for life or death, it all depends on Boss Du's luck.
Thinking of this, Sang Liwan glanced at Jun Moyi slightly, "Then how do you plan to treat Boss Du?"
Jun Moyi didn't look up.
In fact, he had already thought about where Boss Du would go.
He casually twirled the folding fan in his hand, forming a beautiful fan flower.
"Liu Shang is the Queen's man, but Boss Du is not. There's no need for me to kill them all. Otherwise, wouldn't I be just like that old woman of the Queen?"
"Since Master has confirmed that the medicine is fine, and Boss Du is thinking about returning to the Du family, I will send someone to take him back."
Jun Moyi’s choice was similar to what Sang Liwan had imagined.
Jun Moyi was too disdainful to bother a country bumpkin who didn't belong to any camp.
While the two were talking in the room, Yan Hui had already informed Butler Song and asked him to find someone to send Boss Du back to the Du family.
Butler Song had already told Boss Du about the Du family's situation. After hearing that his mother and wife had been killed and the house had been burned down, Boss Du remained silent and did not say a word.
Seeing him like this, Butler Song felt a little bit sorry for him. Although Liu Shang was the Queen's person, everything she did had nothing to do with Boss Du. Boss Du even saved their prince's life invisibly, so Butler Song treated him with a little more patience.
"You... accept my condolences."
"Thank you very much."
Seeing Boss Du's current situation, Yan Hui guessed something, so he whispered a few words to Butler Song. Butler Song was a little surprised, but finally nodded at Yan Hui.
…
"waste!"
The queen slammed the coffee table beside her, her face flushed with anger.
She had never expected that such a small matter would cause her such a big mistake.
Nanny Chang stood aside and didn't dare to speak. She just thought that the feng shui of the palace was bad recently. Why didn't anything go well for her?
"There were only three country bumpkins, and one of them ran away! What do I do with all of you?"
The queen felt like her head was about to explode.
I don’t know how long it took, but when she had vented enough, she let out a long breath.
She looked at Nanny Chang and asked, "Did you see where that person ran to?"
Nanny Chang shook her head and said, "Our people have been searching all night and haven't found any trace of Boss Du."
The queen closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she spoke word by word: "They are all a bunch of good-for-nothings."
Although the Queen still had a sullen expression, her anger seemed to have subsided considerably from her voice. Nanny Chang finally relaxed. She slowly walked over to the Queen and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't be too anxious. Boss Du is just a farmer. Even if he runs away, it won't cause any big trouble. What's more, he has no idea who sent our people."
"Of course I understand this truth, but I just feel unwilling to accept it."
The Queen's thoughts were similar to Nanny Chang's. They both felt that things had been extremely unlucky recently. Nothing she had done had been accomplished, and everything was against her.
Except for the incident that caused Concubine Yu to have a miscarriage.
It wasn't she who did it.
But fortunately, the result made her very satisfied.
Thinking of this, the expression on the queen's face finally looked much better.
"Regarding the Jade Concubine matter, has there been any movement from the Emperor?"
Nanny Chang was stunned, as if she had not expected the Queen to suddenly bring up this matter.
"It seems there's still no movement. How about I send someone to investigate?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen just hummed indifferently, but Nanny Chang pondered it over and decided to go and test the waters.
After all, the Queen has been angry too much recently, so let's find some good things to make her happy.
Obviously, the matter of Concubine Yu can make the Queen happy.
However, things were completely opposite to what Nanny Chang thought.
In just an incense stick's time, Nanny Chang, who had originally walked out with her head held high, suddenly came back crawling.
Her face was filled with fear and panic, "My Queen, something terrible has happened!"
The queen, who was originally sitting in the palace with her eyes closed, suddenly felt a pang in her heart, and a feeling came into her mind that it was as she expected.
One of her hands tightly grasped the handrail beside her, her phoenix eyes fixed on Nanny Chang who was getting closer and closer. She held her breath and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened?"
"Mother, mother, something terrible has happened!"
Nanny Chang's face was filled with fear, as if she had known something terrible. She looked at the queen in horror, looking at her utterly bewildered.
Little did she know that her behavior only solidified the queen's uneasiness.
The Queen had already lost her usual composure, flinging the handkerchief in her hand away. Her face was filled with anxiety. "What happened? Tell me quickly, don't make me anxious."
"Your Majesty, I just went out to inquire about Concubine Yu, and I heard about this matter. It seems that this matter is related to the Second Prince."
"What!"
The queen stood up suddenly, but because she stood up too quickly, she felt a black screen before her eyes and fell straight backwards...
