When Mu Feng entered the mansion and found Chen Nian, Chen Nian had just finished dinner and was holding his son Youyou in his arms.
Youyou is the nickname given to his son by Shen Nian. His real name is Shen Chengyou. He hopes that his son will be blessed by God and have a smooth life.
When Xia Tian heard the name, he thought it had a good meaning and agreed.
When Mu Feng came over, Shen Nian was walking in the yard with Youyou in his arms.
"Master, Chen Ke's servants and guards came to find us and said that his young master was lost in Linzhou." Mu Feng briefly recounted the incident.
Shen Nian paused, "Where are the people?"
I released the two at that time, thinking that Chen Ke was Chen Ke and would not implicate other people, so I ignored them.
I didn’t expect these two people to find their way here!
"I didn't let them in. I told them to wait outside the mansion gate."
Shen Nian was silent for a moment, then said, “Since it’s his young master who’s missing, let them follow the normal procedures and report the case to the authorities!”
He is the governor and does not have the energy to meddle in other people's business. Since the master is missing, he should report to the authorities and find someone!
Seeing that Chen Nian didn't seem to be lying, Mu Feng agreed and left.
"My master said that since your young master is missing, we should report the case to the authorities and ask them to help find him!"
"Guard Feng, you absolutely cannot report this to the police!" Xiao Fu hurriedly pulled Mu Feng aside to explain, "We really can't report this to the police about my young master. Guard Feng, please go and ask the prince for mercy?"
Xiaofu also knew that the prince must be holding a grudge against his young master, so he was unwilling to help.
Mu Feng was a little confused. The person was missing, so why couldn't he report the case?
"Why can't you report your young master missing?"
Nothing is more important than finding someone, right?
"It's like this." Xiaofu hesitated, "My young master killed the young mistress in the capital. If I report this to the authorities..."
Xiaofu didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone who heard it understood.
Mu Feng pretended to be surprised and kept his mouth shut for a long time. It took him a while before he seemed to come back to his senses from the shock.
"Then wait a minute, I'll go talk to the master."
Mu Feng entered the mansion again under the grateful eyes of Xiaofu and Awu.
"Master, Chen Ke really killed Liu Jin'er. His servant just said it himself." Mu Feng was still a little shocked.
When I received the letter that the second master had his guards deliver, I only guessed that Liu Jin'er was killed by Chen Ke.
I really didn't expect that it was really Chen Ke who did it!
"Why? They don't want to report to the police?" Shen Nian asked back.
"How did the master know?" A look of surprise flashed across Mu Feng's face.
"They killed someone, so they're afraid of being held accountable by the government!" Shen Nian immediately guessed why they were unwilling to report to the authorities.
Mu Feng nodded beside him.
Although reporting to the police is just a formality and they can't find the person, they are the only ones who know about this matter, so they have to pretend that they know nothing.
"Go call them in, I'll ask them what happened." Chen Nian handed the child to the nurse and said to Xia Tian, "I'll be right back."
“Well, go and do your work first!” Xia Tian waved his hand and asked Shen Nian to do his work first.
She also heard what Mu Feng said just now. It turned out that Brother Shen did not kill them all. He thought that every grievance should be punished and spared Chen Ke's servants and guards.
Her brother Shen is still so kind!
Mu Feng went outside and brought Xiaofu and Awu to Chen Nian's study.
"Tell me everything that happened in the mansion during this period. If you lie, you will be beaten to death and thrown out." Shen Nian said in a cold tone.
Xiaofu and Awu shuddered, and seeing the prince becoming more and more majestic, they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Xiaofu knew that the prince might already know everything, so he didn't dare to hide it. He told him everything that had happened in the mansion since Liu Jin'er got married.
It's basically the same as what the second lady said in the letter she wrote to Xia Tian.
But there are still many details about Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er, and Xiaofu explained them in more detail.
After listening calmly, Shen Nian knew that the person was not lying, so he coldly asked Mu Feng to take them down first.
Xiaofu and Awu breathed a sigh of relief. They were already dizzy and dizzy from hunger. Fortunately, the prince did not have anyone kick them out directly.
Mu Feng listened to the two people's stomachs growling non-stop. Although he didn't want to care, it was really uncomfortable to listen to them. "Come on, let me take you to the kitchen to eat first!"
Judging from his appearance, he must have been hungry for several meals.
The two listened to Mu Feng taking them to dinner, and tears of gratitude welled up in their eyes. "Thank you, Guard Feng, thank you, Guard Feng!"
By now the fire in the kitchen had been turned off and everyone had finished their meal.
There was no other way, so Mu Feng called Mrs. Fu over again, heated up some steamed buns for the two of them, and fried two dishes for them to fill their stomachs first.
Xiaofu and Awu finished their meal in no time and felt like they were alive again.
Another round of selfless words of gratitude, which gave Mu Feng a headache.
"Stop nagging, both of you. Stay in the mansion tonight and we'll talk about other things tomorrow."
"Yes, yes!" the two agreed in unison.
After settling the two of them, Mu Feng went back to find Chen Nian.
"Master, are you really going to send someone to help them find Chen Ke tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow you take someone to go through the motions. Outsiders don't know the reason behind this matter, so we just need to go through with it."
The main reason was that he was afraid that other officials would gossip. They didn't know the filthiness in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion. If he didn't help find the person, they would definitely say that he was cold-blooded and didn't care about brotherhood.
Since we can't give others any handle, just pretend to do it.
Anyway, no one knows where Chen Ke went!
Chen Nian didn't take this matter to heart at all. The next day, Mu Feng brought people, led by Xiaofu and Awu, and went to the place where Chen Ke disappeared to look for her.
Shen Nian did not stay in the mansion either. He also took a team of people and went to the villages near Sangluo City with Lord Cao and Lord Li to check the potato harvest.
After the earthquake in July, all the crops in the fields were harvested. Although the earthquake caused a decrease in grain production, it was generally good.
Because they helped the villagers harvest the crops in time, the emperor praised him specially.
They said that the credit should be given to them first, and this included him and Xia Tian.
Xia Tian was very happy when she heard the emperor mention her and Shen Nian together.
She has reached the same status as Shen Nian on her own.
After the earthquake relief work, Chen Nian organized the villagers to plant autumn potatoes using a new method, and now it is harvest time.
Shen Nian took his men to the Ma'an Village he was familiar with.
Xia Tian was still in confinement after giving birth, so I couldn’t go with you, and I felt a little regretful.
"Village Chief Ma, can the potatoes in the village be dug now?" Chen Nian asked when he got off the carriage after seeing the village chief of Ma'an Village and a group of villagers coming to greet him.
"Your Excellency, we have started digging the potatoes." Village Chief Ma looked beaming.
He looks more energetic than the last time I saw him after the earthquake.
