At this moment, Liu Miaoyin had just finished her makeup, and Gu Lili was packing her things.
Liu Miaoyin, heavily pregnant, went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Chang'an and Li Ershu retreated.
"Madam, I'm so sorry, we've come to the wrong door!" Li Ershu hurriedly apologized.
Then Chang'an and the other person quickly stepped aside. They looked up at the door and were surprised to find that they had not gone to the wrong place.
Liu Miaoyin looked at the two confused people and smiled, a rare occurrence for her.
"Gentlemen, I am Liu Miaoyin!" Liu Miaoyin explained with a smile.
Chang'an and Li Ershu were completely dumbfounded.
Putting aside her appearance, how did Liu Miaoyin's belly grow so big overnight?
"Hey, Second Uncle, Chang'an, don't just stand there like idiots, come in quickly, I'll dress you up too." Gu Lili poked her head in and called the two of them in.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the four of them came out of Gu Lili's room.
Li Ershu changed his clothes, put a beard on his face, and stood next to Liu Miaoyin, looking quite like a newlywed couple.
As for Chang'an, he had changed out of yesterday's fine clothes, put on a white cloth robe, and picked up a folding fan, looking like a poor scholar who had appeared out of nowhere.
Gu Lili was worried that the group would be recognized, so she used makeup to slightly alter their facial features.
Yes, they are going to follow Zou Wenjun today!
Yesterday, Liu Miaoyin said that in the few days since she was released, she has observed that Zou Wenjun goes out of the house every day after lunch.
If I'm not mistaken, it's highly likely she's having a secret rendezvous with her lover.
To avoid being discovered by Zou Wenjun, the four split into three groups and followed Zou Wenjun in different locations.
They ate lunch at a random place, then the four of them rented a carriage and waited around the Liu residence.
Why didn't he drive his own carriage? Because Zhui Feng was dressed entirely in white, making him easily recognizable in a crowd.
It was so dazzling that the four of them rented a carriage.
Just as Liu Miaoyin had said, not long after noon, the carriage from the Liu residence drove out.
"Chang'an, keep up!" Gu Lili said hurriedly.
Gu Lili and her family's carriage followed the Liu family's carriage all the way to a Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city.
Gu Lili narrowed her eyes. Could it be that Zou Wenjun was having an affair with her lover in a temple?
If that's true, it would be extremely blasphemous.
Seeing Zou Wenjun get off the carriage, Liu Miaoyin and Li Ershu also got off the carriage.
Gu Lili and Chang'an stayed where they were, so that if it weren't for this place, they could find someone else to look for.
As Zou Wenjun walked, he looked around and his eyes fell on Liu Miaoyin and Li Ershu. His gaze lingered on Liu Miaoyin's stomach.
Liu Miaoyin was surprised that Zou Wenjun would notice her so quickly, and her expression became tense.
"My lady, let's go quickly. I've heard that the gods here are the most efficacious. We'll definitely pray to the gods to protect you and your child." Li Ershu stepped forward to support Liu Miaoyin and said gently.
Liu Miaoyin, her face deathly pale, nodded and slowly walked forward, supported by Li Ershu.
Zou Wenjun also withdrew her gaze and said to the maid next door, "Tell me, is the baby in my belly a boy or a girl?"
Seeing the young woman's belly, Zou Wenjun couldn't help but think of the child in her own womb.
Liu Miaoyin and Li Ershu walked slowly, so they heard what Zou Wenjun said.
Liu Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief, but was also startled. She hadn't expected that Zou Wenjun, who was already in her thirties, would be pregnant again.
It seems her guess was correct; Zou Wenjun was leaving the mansion every day to secretly meet her lover, since Liu Yuanliang had long been unable to have children.
Since Zou Wenjun did not recognize her, there was no need for her to hide.
After exchanging a glance with Li Ershu, the two slowed their pace even further and began to look around.
"Look, this young couple has such a good relationship. Look at the husband, carefully supporting his wife. He's clearly a caring person."
"Yes, yes, they are a perfect match, a golden couple!"
The conversation of several people not far away reached the ears of Li Ershu and Liu Miaoyin, and both of them blushed.
Because the two walked slowly, Zou Wenjun and her maid quickly overtook Li Ershu and Liu Miaoyin.
The two pretended to be nonchalant and followed behind Zou Wenjun.
Zou Wenjun, accompanied by her maid, went straight to the main hall of the Taoist temple, donated incense money, kowtowed, and left.
Liu Miaoyin and the other woman slowly followed Zou Wenjun out of the main hall.
Zou Wenjun, accompanied by her maid, quickly left the Taoist temple.
To Liu Miaoyin's disappointment, Zou Wenjun's secret rendezvous with her lover was not at this place.
The two men came out and nodded to Chang'an in the carriage. Chang'an then spurred his horse and followed Zou Wenjun's carriage.
As planned, Li Ershu and Liu Miaoyin returned to the inn to await news.
When the carriage arrived in the city, Zou Wenjun did not return to the Liu residence, but instead traveled all the way to the busiest street in the capital.
Gu Lili and Chang'an were not in a hurry, and slowly followed in the carriage.
This time, Zou Wenjun's carriage stopped at a shop called Liu's Antiques.
Moreover, only Zou Wenjun got off the carriage this time; the two maids who were with her remained inside.
This is quite strange. If one is going shopping, one should naturally have a maidservant by one's side.
Not long after Zou Wenjun got off the carriage, Gu Lili told Chang'an and then jumped off the carriage and followed him.
Chang'an, on the other hand, parked his carriage in a nearby alley and waited to see what would happen.
Gu Lili entered the antique shop but did not find Zou Wenjun.
There was only one waiter cleaning the shop. Gu Lili pretended to be looking at antiques and observed the shop.
She discovered that there was no backyard here, so how did Zou Wenjun disappear into thin air?
"Sir, would you like calligraphy and paintings, or porcelain?" The waiter looked at Gu Lili with a reluctant expression.
Today, Gu Lili is dressed in women's clothing again, showing her true face.
To avoid drawing attention, Gu Lili specially changed into her own simple clothes.
The waiter's expression clearly showed his displeasure, as he felt that Gu Lili couldn't afford anything in the shop and was wasting his time.
Once Mei found out where Zou Wenjun was hiding, Gu Lili naturally couldn't leave.
Although she disliked the waiter's attitude, she decided to put up with it for the sake of the bigger picture.
"I'm not buying anything, I'm short of money and want to pawn a family heirloom!" Gu Lili said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the waiter practically rolled his eyes to the heavens.
What good things could such a poor girl possibly pawn?
Gu Lili wasn't annoyed. She smiled apologetically and said, "Young man, you probably haven't seen this treasure before. Please close the door and I'll take it out for you to see!"
