Chapter 137 Are you willing to spend a night with me?

The living room of the Zhenyang Marquis Mansion was brightly lit.

Xie Zhuoning stared at the account book for two hours without turning a single page.

She closed the account book irritably and looked out the door. "No news about Ah Yu yet?"

Fuling shook her head. "Not yet. Why don't you go and rest for a while, and I will wake you up as soon as I hear from Miss Song."

Xie Zhuoning asked again, "What time is it?"

"Three quarters past midnight."

It was three quarters past midnight, and it was already curfew time.

The Daye Law stipulates that anyone who breaks the curfew will be flogged twenty times.

If you encounter resistance, you can be killed on the spot!

She had repeatedly reminded Song Yuqiu not to stay outside after dark.

Song Yuqiu's face turned pale with fear when she heard this. "In ancient times, there was no nightlife. This is too scary! It seems that I should just stay at home and sleep at night from now on!"

Therefore, it is impossible for Song Yuqiu not to come back for no reason. Something must have happened to him!

After nightfall, the servants of the Zhenyang Marquis' Mansion and Murong Yan's men could no longer roam the streets at will, and their movements were greatly restricted.

Song Yuqiu's whereabouts were unknown, and the longer we delayed, the more danger we would face.

Xie Zhuoning narrowed his beautiful almond-shaped eyes into a thin arc, thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Go get me a cloak."

The black hooded cape almost completely covered her slender body.

She called the four extremely intelligent brothers and asked them to take her to find Xiao Jinxuan.

The Prince Xuan's Palace at night was like a lurking beast, exuding a cold and inhuman majesty.

But the person who walked out hurriedly from the darkness seemed to bring with him the soft light of the bright moon, instantly dispelling all the haze.

"You come to see me so late at night, is there something urgent?"

Xiao Jinxuan was wearing casual clothes, with his hair untied and draped over his shoulders. He looked a little more lazy and casual than his usual meticulous appearance.

Perhaps it was a slight contrast with his usual image, Xie Zhuoning was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses.

"I'm here to negotiate a deal with His Royal Highness Prince Xuan."

Another deal.

When Xiao Jinxuan heard these two words, his eyes darkened and he said, "Come in and we'll talk."

As soon as he entered Prince Xuan's mansion, Xie Zhuoning couldn't wait to speak, "Ayu is missing. She went out to buy candied fruit at noon, but she hasn't come back yet. I sent many people to look for her, but we couldn't find her whereabouts."

"I know you have been granted amnesty by the Emperor, and can come and go freely after curfew. You also have the largest and most comprehensive information network in Daye."

"As long as you can find Ah Yu for me, I can agree to any conditions you ask!"

This is not something Xie Zhuoning would say at all.

She has always been very careful and thoughtful, so why would she be so flustered and impatient like she is now?

This shows what kind of position Song Yuqiu holds in her heart.

Xiao Jinxuan looked at her with dark eyes, "Oh? You can agree to any condition?"

"As long as it doesn't hurt the people I care about," said Xie Zhuoning.

"Even if I ask you to stay with me for one night, would you be willing?"

Xiao Jinxuan originally thought that she would refuse, but unexpectedly, Xie Zhuoning looked at him strangely.

"Your Highness Prince Xuan, this is not a condition. You are giving me a free ride!"

He was in a high position of power, second only to the emperor, with a handsome appearance and outstanding temperament. He even had a strong and healthy body due to his martial arts training.

No matter from which aspect you look at it, it is first-class.

As long as he nodded or waved his finger, countless women would rush towards him.

What's more, other people didn't know what Xiao Jinxuan was like, but didn't he know it himself?

He can't do it at all!

In other words, what's the harm in spending a night with him? You'll get some meat anyway!

Isn't this just letting yourself take advantage for nothing?

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Your Highness Prince Xuan has already made the conditions, so you can't go back on your word!"

He looked as if he was afraid that Xiao Jinxuan would go back on his word.

Xiao Jinxuan: “…”

He really wanted to pry open this girl's head and see what her brain looked like.

"Is Song Yuqiu so important to you?"

Thinking that she was willing to sacrifice herself just to ask him to find Song Yuqiu, he felt inexplicably sour in his heart.

Xie Zhuoning said seriously, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, you should know better than me who saved my life."

If it weren't for A-Yu, she would have become a beauty withered bones and a pile of yellow earth by now.

Ah Yu came to this place alone and regarded her as her only relative. If anything really happened to her, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life!

Xiao Jinxuan looked at her steadily, and seeing the suppressed emotions in her calm eyes, his heart tightened, "Okay, I'll help you find it."

He called Ling Xiao and Wei Zhao and gave them orders quickly.

This night is destined to be restless.

At daybreak, news finally arrived.

"Master, we have found out that Miss Song was captured by people sent by Minister Song!"

It is said that the Song family had exchanged engagement letters with the Duke Zheng's Mansion a few days ago, and that the purpose of capturing Song Yuqiu was most likely to allow her to marry Yin Lei, the son of Duke Zheng.

"Song Jian!" Xie Zhuoning narrowed his eyes dangerously.

She should have thought of it earlier.

Apart from Song Jian and his vicious stepmother, who else would attack A-Yu?

There was just one thing she couldn't understand. "Duke Zheng was extremely powerful, and Queen Mother Yin doted on Yin Lei. They could have any daughter-in-law they wanted, so why did they have to keep targeting the Song family?"

When Song Jian brought Song Yuqiu from the countryside to the capital, he planned to let her marry in place of Song Yuyao. Wasn't he afraid that he would marry a fool, who would not only prevent him from getting close to the Duke Zheng's Mansion, but would also anger Duke Zheng?

Ling Xiao replied, "I know about this. According to reliable information, Duke Zheng seems to have obtained a secret method from an unfathomable old Taoist priest. As long as Yin Lei marries a descendant of a ten-generation good man and uses her blood as medicine every day, in half a year, he can replace the fate of the ten-generation good man's descendant and cure his madness!"

A sense of absurdity arose spontaneously, and Xie Zhuoning's eyes widened in disbelief, "In other words, Song Jian is a good man for ten generations?"

Therefore, as long as she was his daughter, no matter whether she was Song Yuyao or Song Yuqiu, the Yin family would marry her.

Anyway, we marry her to serve as a medicine inducer, so what does it matter who she is?

But this is too much!

When Song Jian was young, he relied on his wife to work and farm to support him. However, after high school, he abandoned his wife and daughter and found a new love.

Now, in order to cling to power, he is not hesitant to push his own daughter into the fire pit.

How could such a person tell her that he was a good man for ten lifetimes?

"It must be Song Jian who gave money to the old Taoist!" she said with certainty.

Ling Xiao said, "It is said that the old Taoist calculated the date of birth and gave it to Duke Zheng to find it himself. Duke Zheng also searched for a long time before he found the Song family."

Xie Zhuoning immediately said, "That old Taoist just randomly gave people a birth date and eight characters to fool them."

There are a lot of old charlatans like that in the world.

Duke Zheng must have been desperate and tried every possible means to cure his son's idiocy.

However, although Ling Xiao and his team found out that Song Yuqiu had been captured by the Song family, they did not find out where he was being held.

I think Song Jian was afraid of any mistakes, so he hid the person secretly.

Xie Zhuoning glanced at the gray sky and saw the bright star shining brightly.

A thick mist slowly covered her eyes. "I need to go back home."

Do you want to rely on A Yu to climb up to the high branch of the Zhengguo Mansion?

She has plenty of ways to make the Song family lose everything!
