After learning that Ni Yueshan was pregnant again, Prince Chu, who had originally wanted to come to the Prince's Mansion to find trouble with Ni Yueshan, had to give up the idea. From then on, all his depression was focused on observing the man who knelt on the ground every day.
"Dad, he was just trying to save people out of kindness, but you kept making them kneel, you..."
Princess Chu frowned. Prince Chu was going a bit too far by doing this.
Prince Chu said, "If he really wants to be responsible for you, what's wrong with letting him kneel?"
Prince Chu was very firm in his attitude and had no intention of giving in. Princess Chu frowned tightly, and Prince Chu had already walked away.
Princess Chu looked at the person kneeling outside the gate and sighed.
"Sneak some cakes into him!"
After giving the order, Princess Chu turned around and went back to her room.
But a guest arrived at the post station. This guest was wearing an apricot-yellow dress, with her jet-black hair combed into a cloud-like bun. When she appeared, she was surrounded by servants. At a glance, it was clear that this person was of extraordinary status...
"Princess, Princess?" the soldier guarding outside asked respectfully.
"Well, that man, was he the passerby who saved the princess?"
The soldier turned his head and nodded. "Yes, Princess, do you find that man annoying? Then go over and chase him away!"
Ni Yueshan took a look and walked over. She ordered Qingdie, "Help him up and take him to the Prince's Mansion!"
The soldier standing aside was somewhat puzzled: "This man was ordered by the prince to kneel here. How could he stand up so easily without the prince's permission?"
Ni Yueshan looked at the soldier with a sharp look in her eyes, "With the prince's permission? Who doesn't know that this man saved the princess? If it weren't for him, this princess might be at risk of a life right now!"
Ni Yueshan's eyes gradually became stern: "Qingdie! Bring people!"
Qingdie dragged the man towards the carriage beside him. The man had been kneeling here since he rescued the man from the water. He had been kneeling for two whole days. His legs felt like they were useless, his face was extremely pale, and his head was dizzy.
At this time, Qingdie was supporting him, and he almost put all his weight on Qingdie.
Finally, the soldiers informed the prince of the county that the man had been taken away. The prince was displeased when he heard the news.
Not only did Ni Yueshan harm people, he also took away the people he wanted to punish...
At the prince's residence, an imperial physician took the man's pulse and examined him. He found out that he had caught a cold, which was why he was so weak. After prescribing medicine and giving him some advice, the man left.
Ni Yueshan also breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the man, she slowly spoke, "As long as you can get through this period, I believe that soon you will be able to... marry the person you love!"
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan walked out of the room and asked Qingdie to close the door.
Jing Yuchen was investigating something outside when he came back to eat. Seeing Ni Yueshan eating leisurely, he walked over and asked, "Yueshan, how are you feeling?"
Ni Yueshan gave him a reproachful look: "What can you feel when you're pregnant? I don't feel anything!"
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan worriedly and put his hand on her abdomen, "It must be bigger this time!"
Ni Yueshan slapped his hand away: "Wash your hands and eat!"
During the meal, Jing Yuchen reported: "I went to check Yu Fei's jewelry, and there was no gold hairpin left in the fire."
"If that corpse was really Yu Fei, there would definitely be golden hairpins around it, but there aren't any! Now it's confirmed that the corpse is not Yu Fei!"
Even though the person is missing, it is a good thing that he is still alive in this world!
"Well, why not investigate more about this... Tian Qinan!"
Jing Yuchen's eyes flickered: "Maybe we have exposed our identities last time!"
There is no way to set foot in the Tian family again, unless you observe secretly and search everywhere.
After finishing his meal, Jing Yuchen let Ni Yueshan have a good rest and continued to go out to investigate. He asked the innkeeper to look for the room registrations from those days.
The boss had a worried look on his face. "Sir, I'm just a small business owner. I never expected to encounter something like this. If you have any clues, please tell me immediately! I'm going to teach this arsonist a lesson right away and let him off the hook!"
Jing Yuchen looked solemn as he flipped through the record book in his hand.
He felt that anyone who checked in after Ni Yueshan stayed at the inn would be suspicious.
Excluding the last people who checked out of the inn, those who have been staying there are the ones he needs to monitor and check one by one.
"Call here all the people who stayed in your inn that day!" Jing Yuchen said.
The boss immediately looked worried: "What are you yelling at them for? They all want compensation from me, but I don't want it!"
Jing Yuchen reluctantly explained, "Call the people over here, and let me handle all the compensation for the losses!"
Then a gold ingot was placed on the table. The boss's eyes immediately widened, and he said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, arrange it!"
Then I happily gathered people together!
Those people were staying at the inn just fine, but because of a fire, they hurriedly fled for their lives. It was normal that some items were left in the inn room and not taken out. So they also blamed this loss on the owner...
As soon as they heard there was compensation to be gained, naturally, one person arrived faster than the other.
"That day, I left two rolls of silk in the inn, thinking I'd take them home to show off once I left the capital. Now, not only have the banknotes been burned, but the silk is gone too!"
Jing Yuchen cast a cold gaze upon him and questioned, "How could you, a man with silver bills, care about two rolls of silk? I'm afraid you're just making this up, aren't you?"
The other party lowered his head, obviously feeling guilty. Jing Yuchen placed a hundred taels of silver on the table and said, "Tell me, which room were you staying in that day? Did you see anyone suspicious? Do you know who the residents next door are?"
After this interrogation, many of the guests on the bill were crossed out.
In the end, there were only three people left who had not received compensation.
The boss reminded him, "I know these three people well. One of them is a businessman who comes to Beijing every year to stay for a while. But this time, he left on bad terms. When it was time to leave, he didn't stay long, didn't even ask for compensation, and just left!"
"I don't have any memory of the other two, but that's okay, I can ask the waiter to do it!"
After the waiter was called, he thought carefully and said, "There are two women living there!"
"Describe your figure!" Jing Yuchen suggested immediately, as if he had grasped a clue.
The waiter thought about it carefully, and then answered: "One is a little shorter, and the other is taller..."
