"Your Highness, the young master said he wanted to take the two young men to see Miss Li's dowry. I went there to check, but no one was there." Mo Yu said with a bitter face, thinking that following behind the young master meant not only copying the Book of Rites, but also being frightened by his young master's occasional disappearances.
"Have you searched other parts of the mansion?" Xu Heming asked, frowning.
"Your Highness, I have sent people to search every courtyard in the manor, but we haven't seen the young master or the two young noblemen," Liu Ming quickly stepped forward and said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Heming felt uneasy.
Where can three children go?
Xu Heming didn't say anything, but he still decided to go to the storeroom where Li Zhiwei kept her dowry himself.
Looking at the half-open door, I thought to myself, inside there is only Li Zhiwei's canopy bed and a coffin.
If the children are really inside, they should be easy to find.
Xu Heming still wanted to go in and see if there were any clues.
Xie Jincheng and Jiang Hanhai quickly followed. Although they were also anxious, they knew that Prince An's child was inside, and Prince An must be just as eager as they were to find the child as soon as possible.
Upon entering the warehouse, Xu Heming first looked at the canopy bed, finding no one on it, and even checked under the bed.
Xie Jincheng checked everything and confirmed that there was no one there.
"There seems to be no one here," Jiang Hanhai said softly after looking around.
After all, although the children are young, there are still three of them.
They couldn't possibly not see it.
Xu Heming didn't speak, but he also glanced around the room. It hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and there was still some dust.
Suddenly, Xu Heming noticed several small handprints on the coffin lid. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the lid was actually open.
Xu Heming quickly went over, wanting to take a closer look at the fingerprints on it.
Just as I was engrossed in watching, suddenly, a small hand reached out from the coffin.
"Hand...hand..." Jiang Hanhai, standing behind Xu Heming, trembled with fear when he saw the hand.
“They must have been here; there are handprints on it,” Xu Heming sighed and added.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jincheng quickly turned around and came in along the side of the coffin.
Jiang Hanhai looked again, but still couldn't see the little hand. He quickly rubbed his eyes, thinking that he must have seen wrong.
"Eh, Your Highness, why is this lid open?" Xie Jincheng asked, puzzled, after looking again.
"Maybe they've been here before, were curious, and opened it." Xu Heming didn't really want to explain it this way, but with his son here, anything was possible.
"These little rascals." Xie Jincheng thought of his son, shook his head, and thought that it was possible.
Xu Heming approached, intending to close the coffin lid, but instead heard a "thump!"
"What's that sound?" Xie Jincheng asked, puzzled.
"The sound is coming from the coffin." Although Jiang Hanhai was somewhat worried, this time he said it with absolute certainty.
Xu Heming and Xie Jincheng exchanged a glance, then each held one side of the coffin lid and, with a look in their eyes, simultaneously pushed the lid down.
The two looked into the coffin!
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet, it was also somewhat both funny and sad!
What kind of situation is this?
"What...what's inside?" Jiang Hanhai asked nervously.
After all, those two had put on quite a show of force, and as a mere scholar, I didn't dare to step forward at all.
"Marquis Yongning, there are treasures inside, do you want them?"
