The little maid shook her head and said, "Father, I don't know how Lvliu died, but there was a large wound on the back of her head. The young lady's room was covered in paper money and blood, and she is nowhere to be found."
"What? You said Jane Meng is missing?"
Seeing the maid nod, Zhuang Tianming could no longer wait. He ran quickly to Zhuang Zhenmeng's rose courtyard. When he saw paper clothes, paper pants, paper money scattered all over the floor of the house, and Lvliu lying on the ground with her body already stiff.
Zhuang Tianming immediately understood what was going on. He ordered his servants, "Get ready! I need to rush to Guangming Village right away!"
After receiving the news, Ji Hongmei and Zhuang Yueru hurried to Zhuang Zhenmeng's Rose Courtyard.
As soon as Zhuang Tianming saw Ji Hongmei and Zhuang Yueru, he took the hands of the two mother and daughter and said, "You two should pack your bags and leave the capital for a while. I will have the housekeeper accompany you. In short, you must not come back without my notice."
Ji Hongmei immediately asked anxiously, "Master, what exactly happened? Why did you ask us to leave? Is it because that little bitch Zhen Meng got wind of it and ran away? Are you afraid that the Emperor will take his daughter away to offer sacrifice to the river god?"
"The reasons are half and half. Anyway, for the sake of my daughter's life, you should leave quickly!"
"I……"
Ji Hongmei glanced at Zhuang Yueru, who was standing beside her with a frown on her face, and then she bit her lip and pulled Zhuang Yueru back to pack her things.
Zhuang Tianming ordered his servants to take care of Lvliu's funeral, and he rode a fast horse to Guangming Village alone.
The other side
The Prince Chen's Mansion also received news from the eunuchs in the palace, and learned that the river sacrifice ceremony would be postponed for five days. Yu Chenfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He thought that with five days, perhaps he could find a way to rescue the daughter of the female doctor, because he never believed that if a person was sacrificed in the river, the river god would bless the safety of the people of Luosuo Kingdom. In his eyes, he felt that this was simply nonsense.
Seeing that Shu Jiaying had woken up, Yu Chenfeng was worried that Shu Jiaying would be alone in such a palace, so he said to Shu Jiaying: "Yingying, why don't you come with me to the palace today?"
Shu Jiaying shook her head.
"No, because today those young ladies will come to the palace to receive their skin care products and cosmetics, and I have to stay in the palace to receive them."
"Can't we let Boss Guan do this?"
Although Yu Chenfeng didn't object to Shu Jiaying doing business to make money, now was a tense time. He didn't want Shu Jiaying to be careless in order to make money, which would give bad people an opportunity to take advantage of her. He persuaded her, "Yingying, why don't you take a break after finishing this order?"
Shu Jiaying certainly understood what Yu Chenfeng meant, but she also had her own ideas. She felt that instead of letting the enemy see her calm and on guard at all times, it would be better to let the enemy see her busy. This would not only numb the enemy's thoughts about her, but she could also make a counterattack in secret. In short, she thought it was good to continue selling her skin care products.
Shu Jiaying smiled at Yu Chenfeng and said, "I understand. If you need to go to the palace for something, go ahead and do your thing. I will take care of myself. We'll talk later..."
Glancing at Aunt Zhao who was yawning and walking towards them, Shu Jiaying pretended to be friendly and put her arm around Aunt Zhao's shoulders.
"If I have any questions, Aunt Zhao will be there to help me, right, Aunt Zhao?"
