Although more than a year has passed and the female doctor seems to have grown up a bit, Butler Qiu can still recognize her at a glance.
As if struck by a sudden thought, Butler Qiu dropped the scroll and chased after the painting.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yanchu rushed back to the inn and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Ruojin was alright.
"The people from the Prime Minister's residence are truly audacious!" Xiao Yanchu exclaimed angrily.
It's just a steward, yet he can act so presumptuously. It seems that Prime Minister Lu is indeed powerful in Xiaoyue.
If it weren't for Xiaoyue's presence and his desire to avoid further trouble, he would never have let this Steward Qiu go.
"Let's ignore him for now. Did you hear anything after you went out?" Su Ruojin asked, knowing that a mere housekeeper couldn't do anything to her.
She had already sent a message to Da Chu, asking Rong Qizhou to bring people over. She really disliked the feeling of being completely out of control.
Xiao Yanchu shook his head. They had searched almost the entire Longxiao City and the surrounding villages, but had found no clues.
Everyone knows that the longer the situation drags on, the more dangerous it will be for Yuan Hong and Da Pu.
"Could it be that they're not in Dragon Sky City?" Xiao Yanchu raised another possibility.
If that's the case, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Silence fell over the room for a moment.
The two members of the Dark Alliance who had followed them also left without any news, suggesting they were likely in grave danger.
Knock knock knock!
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Young Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, the princess requests your presence."
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance. Had Princess Yuening thought of them again?
Why did they call two people over at the same time this time?
Previously, Yuening had given Su Ruojin three days, but recently Lu Junyuan had been frequently visiting her. Empress Dowager Wu summoned her to the palace and warned her that with the wedding approaching, she should restrain herself and not cause any trouble.
Yuening had no choice but to stay in the mansion for a few days, but Jiang Qi'an's image kept flashing in her mind and dreams, making her restless and unable to eat or sleep. She even lost interest in her favorite place, Piaoyun Garden.
From childhood to adulthood, there was nothing Yu Ning couldn't get if she wanted it, and the harder it was to get, the more she wanted it!
For two days in a row, Lu Junyuan had something to do and didn't come to see her, so Yue Ning's mind started to wander again.
She secretly vowed in her heart that as long as she got Jiang Qi'an, she would never touch another man before the wedding.
As for Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu, since the other party had come to their door on their own initiative, they shouldn't let it go.
The two arrived at the princess's residence together.
The servants led the two to the pavilion in the garden, where a table of fine wine and dishes had already been laid out.
"Young Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, please have a seat."
Today, Yuening was dressed in an elegant light blue dress, with only a few jade hairpins in her hair, making her look much more refined than before.
When Yue Ning saw Su Ruojin's outfit that day, she guessed that Jiang Qi'an must like elegant women, and that's why he dressed up like this today.
"I wonder what business the princess has with my husband and me?" Xiao Yanchu asked directly without sitting down.
Yuening chuckled, "What, Young Master Jiang, are you afraid I'll eat you, or eat your wife?"
"Don't worry, I'm just a little bored. On a whim, I invited you two to come and tell me about the customs and culture of the Great Chu to relieve my boredom. If you tell a good story, I will naturally reward you."
“If the princess wishes to hear a story, she should invite a storyteller from a teahouse. I am sorry, but my wife and I are not storytellers.” Xiao Yanchu’s voice was filled with anger.
Yuening sat down first, glancing sideways at the two of them. "What, Young Master Jiang, are you not going to give me any face?"
“Husband, since the princess wants to hear it, let’s talk about it.” Su Ruojin tugged at Xiao Yanchu’s sleeve, her eyes filled with fear and apprehension.
Xiao Yanchu snorted coldly and helped Su Ruojin sit down opposite Yuening.
Seeing Xiao Yanchu's meticulous care for Su Ruojin, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Yue Ning's eyes.
Once Jiang Qi'an submits to her, she will definitely kill Zhao Ruojin!
