After leaving the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Shen Fu was about to go back to find an imperial physician, but was stopped by Xiao Baozi.
"My queen, the news." Xiao Baozi knew that Shen Fu was most concerned about Aunt Cui.
As soon as there was any news, he immediately came to report: "The guards sent out to patrol said that there seems to be news about Aunt Cui."
"Really?" After hearing this, the gloom between Chen Fu's brows and eyes for the past few days gradually dissipated.
"Where did you see it?"
She watched helplessly as Aunt Cui ran away right before her eyes.
Until now, I heard the news.
It had only been a few days since the dawn of the new year, but when Chen Fu heard the news, she felt completely dazed.
“I heard that he saw it in the direction of Suzhou.” Little Baozi kowtowed respectfully to Chen Fu.
"Don't worry, Madam. As long as Aunt Cui shows up, she will be found in a few days."
Shen Fu's eyes were slightly closed, and a hint of murderous intent flashed quickly in her eyes.
"To Suzhou?"
What was Aunt Cui doing in Suzhou?
Shen Fu was silent for a while, then after thinking it through, her expression changed little by little.
"You said Aunt Cui went to Suzhou?" What did she go to Suzhou for?
I thought of Aunt Cui’s face which looked like my mother’s.
Shen Fu’s face turned pale little by little: “Send someone to stop them immediately!”
"We must not allow Aunt Cui to appear in Suzhou."
Aunt Cui’s thoughts were too obvious.
She went to Suzhou just to visit the Gu family.
Thinking of Aunt Cui's face, Shen Fu's expression turned extremely ugly.
What will Aunt Cui do with a face that is similar to her mother's?
"Don't worry, Madam. His Majesty has already given the order. As long as Aunt Cui shows up, we will definitely be able to catch her!"
Little Baozi bowed respectfully on the side.
: "How did the person escape?" Shen Fu thought about it and finally asked the key question.
Aunt Cui was injured, and how did she escape from Kyoto to Suzhou alone in such a cold weather?
Shen Fu couldn't help but think.
If someone said that no one helped Aunt Cui, Chen Fu would not believe a word of it.
"It is said that there was a man traveling with Aunt Cui." Xiao Baozi pondered for a moment and continued.
"The guards who went there saw his appearance clearly." Xiao Baozi was silent for a while and said, "Tell me..."
"The person who ran away with Aunt Cui seemed to be the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion."
Chen Fu rubbed her brows and sighed deeply: "Continue to send people to look for him. We must catch him before he arrives in Suzhou."
"Don't worry, madam." Xiao Baozi nodded: "There are checkpoints set up along the way. If Aunt Cui shows up, she will be caught."
"My lady, please don't worry."
After everyone left, Zi Su stepped forward to hold Chen Fu's hand and comforted her: "Kyoto is still far from Suzhou. Even if Aunt Cui travels day and night, it will still take a while to get to Suzhou."
"As long as we catch him before Aunt Cui arrives in Suzhou, everything will be fine."
How easy is it to catch someone while he is on the way?
Chen Fu's heart couldn't help but tighten a little.
What would happen if Aunt Cui went to Suzhou if she was not caught?
Her face!
Shen Fu's brows were tightly furrowed.
Without saying anything, he went straight to the sky prison.
This was the first time that Chen Fu came back here. When the guards of the Heavenly Prison saw Chen Fu, they did not dare to stop her.
Seeing Chen Fu, she had no choice but to kneel down and salute: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
"Where is Shen Changshan?" Shen Fuqi continued to call out Shen Changshan's name.
The guards kneeling on the ground looked back and forth, then knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: “To reply to the queen, Shen Changshan is inside.”
When Shen Fu went over, she found Shen Changshan eating.
He seems to be a little more cautious these days than when he first arrived.
After all, he is Shen Fu's father, and even if he is imprisoned in the Sky Prison, there is no shortage of people fawning on him.
Shen Fu looked at the wine jug in Shen Changshan’s hand, was silent for a while, and still said: “It seems that you have been doing well these days.”
Shen Changshan picked up the wine jug and took a sip.
His eyes then fell on Shen Fu's face: "Whether I have passed the test or not, doesn't it all depend on what you say, Madam?"
After entering the Heavenly Prison, Shen Changshan looked at his daughter again.
He had never looked at Shen Fu carefully before.
His daughter has become so favored.
Even though he and she were almost breaking up, but because his surname was Chen, no one dared to offend the guards around him.
Shen Changshan hasn't been clamoring to go out these days.
He knew that without Shen Fu's nod, he would not be able to leave.
Now I just don’t ask for it anymore.
"Do you know why I came here today?" The guards brought another chair.
Shen Fu took a quick glance and found that it was the same one she sat on last time.
She held Shisu's hand and sat down.
"You want to guess?"
Shen Changshan had already put down the drink in his hand.
He looked calm and asked calmly, "Did something happen to Cui Niang?"
Even if Shen Changshan fell into such a situation.
But when he mentioned the name Cui Niang, there was still a hint of tenderness between his eyebrows.
"Yu Gong came here today to talk to you about Cui Niang." Shen Fu did not miss the look in Shen Changshan's eyes.
A hint of sarcasm flashed between his eyebrows.
Her father was probably still kept in the dark and actually believed in Aunt Cui so much.
If he knew that Aunt Cui had run away with another man at this time.
I'm afraid he'll go crazy.
Shen Fu sat on the chair and looked at Shen Changshan’s face carefully.
Not wanting to miss a single detail on Shen Changshan's face, "It's just that it's not Cui Niang who's in trouble, it's something else."
“What happened to Cui Niang?” Shen Changshan didn’t even want the wine jug in his hand.
He immediately stood up and grabbed the railing with all his strength: "What on earth did you do to Cui Niang?"
He stared at Shen Fu intently.
The red eyes fell on Shen Fu's face, full of ruthlessness.
"Did you touch Cui Niang?"
“Speaking of Cui Niang, you have changed.” The coldness in Shen Fu’s eyes became colder and colder.
"What a pity! Before I could touch Cui Niang, she had already escaped when the guards came over."
"Escaped?"
After hearing this, Shen Changshan looked stunned.
"What do you mean by escaped?"
Cui Niang ran away? How is that possible?
Shen Changshan's eyes were full of disbelief: "You are talking nonsense! Where can Cui Niang escape to?"
Besides him, who else can Cui Niang rely on?
Cui Niang didn't have any acquaintances in the entire Kyoto, so how could she run away?
Where could Cui Niang escape to?
"Where did you take my Cui Niang?!"
Shen Changshan's eyes were full of coldness. After Shen Fu looked at him, her heart sank inexplicably.
"What a pity. I sent people to look for her, but to my surprise, the place was empty."
"How is that possible?" Shen Changshan's movement was too big and he hit the wine jug beside him.
He stood in the distance, but his body slowly fell to the ground and said, "When I left, I asked my mother to take care of Cui Niang."
"Why would Cui Niang leave?"
Listening to what Shen Changshan said, Shen Fu couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
Shen Changshan also asked Old Lady Shen to take care of Cui Niang?
Did he know that Cui Niang had taken care of Old Madam Shen to death?
Old Madam Shen's body had already frozen stiff.
Chen Fuluo tightened her hands a few times, but didn't say anything.
"Do you have a housekeeper named Hu in your house?" Shen Fu's words gradually brought Shen Changshan's thoughts back.
He looked down at Shen Fu beside him.
Those eyes were full of defense: "Why are you asking this?"
Shen Changshan still didn't believe her.
He believed in his wife Cui wholeheartedly.
Chen Fu's hands tapped the armrest a few times nervously, with a hint of fatigue between her brows.
"Your Cui Niang escaped with that steward Hu." She regretted coming to the Heavenly Prison.
Even if I saw the regret on Shen Changshan's face, what did it matter?
"You're talking nonsense!"
However, Shen Fu had just finished speaking when Shen Changshan didn't believe a word of it.
"You are talking nonsense. How could Cui Niang be with him?"
Butler Hu has been with him for many years, and he has no contact with Cui Niang on weekdays.
He didn't believe a word of what Shen Fu said.
"Whether you believe it or not, Cui Niang also ran away with Butler Hu." Shen Fu no longer wanted to see Shen Changshan's expression.
"Do you know where she ran off to?"
“Mrs. Cui didn’t run away!” Shen Changshan gritted his teeth: “Don’t think I don’t know you are testing me.”
How could Cui Niang run away? Shen Changshan's body was shaking slightly.
Or with another man...
Cui Niang loves him so much and is devoted to him wholeheartedly. For so many years, Cui Niang has followed him wholeheartedly.
Back then, he couldn't even give Cui Niang the position of legal wife.
But Cui Niang still stayed with him.
"Mother Cui saved my life back then..." Shen Changshan kept recalling the scene of that year in his mind.
On such a cold night, in order to save him, Cui Niang carried him from the foot of the mountain to the clinic on her back.
He never asked for anything in return from him.
“How could Cui Niang be such a person…” Shen Changshan muttered to himself.
After thinking it through, he shook his head vigorously at Shen Fu: "Don't try to sow discord between me and Cui Niang here, I don't believe a word you say."
"Let me go back. Cui Niang is waiting for me at home."
Shen Changshan glared at Shen Fu and roared with gritted teeth.
"Mrs. Cui followed the steward Hu all the way to Suzhou."
Chen Fu looked at Chen Changshan's face and smiled: "Wait until the people in the palace catch her, then you will naturally be able to see your Cui Niang."
