Chapter 440: That old man is Yang Xu! He is not dead!
Wen Nuo shook his head and said dejectedly, "I've searched almost every possible hiding place, but I haven't seen any trace of Du Zhihuan."
Jiang Shiyun said, "She might not have come yet. She came in after dark. We are guarding the Luhuang Courtyard tightly. She won't succeed."
Cheng Qingmeng pinched her chin. "I can't be so strict, otherwise Du Zhihuan won't take action. My cousin means she's waiting for her to make a move and catch her in the act. And she has to do it right in front of Du Zhixu. I wonder if Third Master Du will still protect Du Zhihuan then?"
Wen Nuo said, "It's not enough for just a few of us to know about this. We still have to tell Brother Mu and Sister Mu and Brother Guanchen."
Cheng Qingmeng glanced at Jiang Shiyun and said, "Tell my eldest cousin about this first, but don't tell the Mu brothers and sisters. They don't know about my cousin's precognitive dream."
"I'm going to look for him now."
After Wen Nuo left, Jiang Shiyun asked, "Do you think Prince Xiao knows?"
Cheng Qingmeng thought about Xiao Chengqian's behavior throughout the trip. "It seems that Prince Xiao is now attracted to my cousin. Even if he's not sincere, he wouldn't collude with Du Zhihuan to harm my cousin. Marrying my cousin is the most cost-effective thing for him."
Jiang Guanchen was frightened when he heard the word "cut face". He looked at Xiao Chengqian and Mu Jingxing in the distance, and pulled Wen Nuo to the depths of the blue orchard.
Jiang Guanchen was afraid someone might suddenly appear, so he lowered his voice to a whisper, "How is that possible? Isn't Du Zhihuan seriously ill? How could she possibly cut Cousin Yu's face?"
Wen Nuo: "The person today was not Du Zhihuan but her maid. She predicted that the real cause of my cousin's death in the dream was that Song Mingzhu cut her face."
What?
Jiang Guanchen was horrified, "Why didn't my cousin tell me before?"
"She didn't tell me at first, but Du Zhihuan will come and cut off my sister's face and marry Xiao Shizi in my name. She might come to harm me tonight. She must come to Luming Mountain often and must have a way to sneak in. Arrange someone to keep an eye on her at night. Don't let Xiao Shizi and Mu Shizi notice anything unusual, otherwise this drama won't work. Okay, I'm done. I'm going to find my little brother."
"Xiao Nuo, wait!"
Jiang Guanchen reached out to grab it, but failed.
Wen Nuo runs faster than a rabbit.
Jiang Guanchen withdrew his hand helplessly, he still had many doubts!
Jiang Guanchen left the blue orchard when the sun was setting.
Jiang Guanchen felt very complicated when he saw Xiao Chengqian chatting happily with Mu Jingxing and Du Zhixu in the distance.
Last night he learned that he might be a fake prince, and now he knew that Du Zhihuan was going to cut his cousin's face, which made him unable to calm down.
Did he and Du Zhihuan conspire to murder his cousin?
How could Du Zhihuan sneak in without his permission?
"Jiang Wu."
Hearing the sound, Jiang Wu ran over with the fish he had just caught. "Master, take a look at this big fish I caught. Is it fat?"
"He looks quite fat." Jiang Guanchen then pressed his shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Keep a close eye on Master Xiao from tonight until I leave tomorrow. I want to know his every move. Be careful not to let Long Wu, who is beside him, notice anything unusual. After dinner, have everyone go to my room. I have something to arrange..."
Jiang Guanchen's expression suddenly changed, and he brought four guards with him this time!
"Okay, Master."
Jiang Wu was very confused. Why was his young master staring at Master Xiao for no reason?
He didn't ask, he would know sooner or later.
"Guanchen, come quickly." Xiao Chengqian waved at him with a smile, "Dinner is almost ready. Let's grill some fish for the four sisters. Zhixu and cousin are also grilling fish."
Jiang Guanchen looked at Du Zhixu, who was concentrating on grilling fish.
This idiot cares about and dotes on Du Zhihuan so much.
Unless he saw Du Zhihuan's vicious side with his own eyes, he would not believe that Du Zhihuan would harm his cousin.
Du Zhixu seemed to have noticed something, and when he looked up, he saw the sarcasm on Jiang Guanchen's lips.
Du Zhixu looked again and saw that Jiang Guanchen's complexion had returned to normal.
Du Zhixu was confused. Did he see it wrong?
Song Yu woke up, and Cheng Qingmeng and Jiang Shiyun came over and told her what Wen Nuo had found out.
Song Yu: "We will return to the city tomorrow afternoon. Tonight is the best time to take action. She will definitely come. Come with me to the kitchen to proof the peony fruit cake."
The three sisters walked into the yard, and Mu Chuqing came towards them holding Snowball. "Sister Yu, Snowball misses his son. Is Little Ice Cream in the house?"
Song Yu then realized that Ah Qi had not returned yet, "It hasn't been delivered yet."
Mu Chuqing: "Why are you so slow? Xiao Fei entered the city with him."
Song Yu: "Xiao Xuegao is at the Jiang residence. My mother will definitely arrange something for him to do after seeing Ah Qi. He should be back soon. I'm going to the kitchen to prepare the peony fruit cake in advance. Do you want to join us?"
"Goodbye, it's time for dinner. I came here to call you to dinner."
As soon as Song Yu and his friends reached the door of the dining room, Ah Qi chased after them with a small popsicle in his arms.
"Miss, I'm back."
Song Yu frowned, "Why are you back so late? Did my mother assign you something to do again?"
Ah Qi handed the small ice cream to Bai Lan, "Master Xiao's grandparents have returned. Madam is going to the Nine-Storied Tower to pick out gifts for them. I am worried, so I have been staying by Madam's side."
Song Yu was surprised. "Have you seen what the two elders look like? Who does Prince Xiao look more like?"
Xiao Chengqian heard this as soon as he entered the courtyard. He felt a sudden panic in his heart, but he said excitedly: "Really, my grandparents are back?"
"Yes, Your Highness, you're back. Dinner should be served by now." Ah Qi tilted his head and looked at Song Yu again. "I wonder who Prince Xiao looks more like? Madam hasn't seen him yet. The Du family sent a message to Madam, saying that they are waiting for the young lady to return to discuss the marriage."
Xiao Chengqian's heart finally settled down.
What is he afraid of?
Even though Song Mingen is my uncle, he is also the prince of Prince Rong's Mansion.
"Sister Yu, then shall we return to the city after lunch tomorrow?"
Mu Jingxing felt inexplicably unhappy. Was it too hasty to go back after lunch tomorrow?
"Okay, I'll follow the arrangements of my brother, the prince."
Song Yu was preoccupied, so after eating until he was eight-tenths full, he was the first to leave the dining room and return to Luhuangyuan.
Seeing someone coming back, Bai Lan couldn't wait to say, "Aqi said Yang Xu is not dead! That old man must be Yang Xu!"
Song Yu looked at Ah Qi in surprise, "Is what she said true?"
Ah Qi nodded. "That old man was indeed Yang Xu. I didn't realize it at first. When I took him to the house in Taohua Lane, he struggled so hard that the disguise on his face fell off, and I could see his true face. I looked carefully at the Song Mansion that night, and it was definitely Yang Xu. He is still imprisoned in the house in Taohua Lane, awaiting the young lady's decision."
Song Yu asked again, "Did you find out about his conspiracy with Du Zhihuan?"
"We used many torture methods, but he just wouldn't tell us. So I had no choice but to come back and report."
Bai Lan: "Yang Xu knows how to replace your face. He must have had Du Zhihuan cut off your face and give it to him. He then used special means to make a human skin mask and put it on Du Zhihuan's face without anyone noticing."
Song Yu nodded: "That's right, she will definitely come tonight. Call Chunhua and the others in, and we will discuss it carefully."
After making the arrangements, Song Yu took Bai Lan to the kitchen to prepare the peony fruit cake for tomorrow.
The secret skill could not be revealed, so Song Yu sent everyone in the kitchen out.
Bai Lan was worried about Song Yu's safety, so she accidentally spilled half a bowl of flour.
"Lan'er, calm down. She won't succeed."
Bai Lan: "Let's not make the peony fruit cake. We can still make it after we catch Du Zhihuan. Du Zhihuan has deceived us for so long. If we can't catch her tonight, and we don't have a place to keep you safe, she might succeed. She might just cut your face and use it directly. Yang Xu must have taught her the method, and Yun Que knows medicine."
Song Yu remembered something when she heard this. Prince Xiao must have conspired with her to harm her!
Prince Xiao was originally a fake, and it was more likely that he knew his father's identity.
She and her son would not let her see her grandparents.
After they succeed, their next target will be the emperor and the little prince.
"Okay, then don't do it!"
Song Yu took off her apron and left, then stopped a long way away. "Lan'er, go back and grind the detoxification pills into powder and bring them over. We still need to make this peony fruit cake!"
