Chapter 216 First Release "Miss Yingying jumped into the river!"...
Song Shuangcheng's lips curved slightly, a smile etched in the corners of his eyes as he nodded to Wen Yu, "Madam Wen Yu, there's no need to be polite. Just call me brother, just like me."
Wen Yu turned to look at Song Linsheng after hearing this. Seeing that Song Linsheng was also full of anticipation, he simply agreed, "Brother."
"Alright!" Chen Chuo, standing by, beamed, clapping his hands and saying loudly, "Since you've already called me brother, Brother Cheng will add two more streets."
Catching Song Shuangcheng's gaze, Chen Chuo smiled at Wen Yu and Song Linsheng while leaning over to Song Shuangcheng's ear and whispering, "Just consider it my dowry, okay? Don't be stingy at this critical moment, okay?"
Song Shuangcheng's eyes turned, and he looked at Song Linsheng and Wen Yu standing side by side in front of him, and couldn't help but chuckled.
"I'll listen to Ah Chuo."
Wen Yu and Song Linsheng looked at each other. Although they couldn't hear clearly what Sister Chen Chuo and Brother Chen Chuo were saying at the moment, the words "add two more streets" were very clear.
Song Linsheng smiled and shook his head, feeling quite helpless.
After all, there is only one person in this world who can control Sister Shen Chuo.
Song Linsheng's eyes swept across his brother.
But it's a good thing that this person doesn't take sides with Sister Shen Chuo.
"Sister Chen Chuo, Brother, since we are here, why don't we go sightseeing together?"
Song Linsheng looked around, watching the colorful lights swaying in the streets, the vendors' cries interweaving with each other, and in the middle of it all, the shimmering Yuan River flowed on, carrying the swaying wish lanterns forward.
"It's just right. Let's see if Linsheng has any political achievements."
Wen Yu burst out laughing. She knew that Song Linsheng would never tolerate being teased for nothing.
Hearing the voice, Song Linsheng lowered his eyes to look at Wen Yu and laughed along with her.
Unlike his usual chuckle or curved eyebrows, Song Linsheng laughed loudly at this moment.
Song Shuangcheng was choked by what he said, and he smiled and shook his head, but did not bother with him.
Chen Chuo pulled Song Shuangcheng to walk side by side with Wen Yu and Song Linsheng, and jokingly said, "Well, look at Song Er now, where does he look like a young man?"
Wen Yu turned to glance at Song Linsheng. From his eyes, she suddenly felt that Song Linsheng might have always been Song Linsheng...
Knowing how to laugh and make noises is what a mortal being does.
What will happen if you have no desires and no demands?
As they were talking, the four of them turned around and walked towards the bridge. However, before they reached the center of the bridge where Chen Chuo and Song Shuangcheng were, they saw a man rushing towards them.
It seemed to be shouting something while running.
The hurried steps and fluttering clothes were very eye-catching even in the crowded crowd.
"Master! Madam Wen! It's bad, it's bad!"
Wen Yu had sharp ears and eyes, and his five senses were even better than those of ordinary people, so he recognized the person at a glance.
"Washing the inkstone?"
Upon hearing this, Song Linsheng and Wen Yu looked at each other, and both saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
Xiyan had not been with them since they got off the carriage. How could he suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Shouldn't he be...
Wen Yu's heart tightened, and an inexplicable anxiety rose instantly.
She immediately lifted her skirt and hurried forward to meet him, holding Xi Yan firmly. Before he could catch his breath, she asked, "Xi Yan, what happened?"
Seeing Xiyan coming alone, with no one behind him, Wenyu asked in a deep voice, "Where's my sister? Where's Yingying?"
Xiyan looked flustered and at a loss. When he saw Wen Yu, he was like seeing a savior. He grabbed Wen Yu's sleeve and almost fell down.
"Madam Wen! Sir! Miss Yingying has jumped into the river!"
This sound was like thunder from the plain, resounding through the night sky.
The noise of the surrounding crowd dissipated like a tide, and the colorful lanterns dimmed in an instant.
Wen Yu's mind suddenly exploded with a bang, and she stared at the inkstone in disbelief. She raised her hand and picked it up, confirming, "What did you say?"
Yu Chang's cultivation was high and his Taoism was profound. Moreover, he had emerged from beneath the Yuan River, which was his home base...
She wasn't worried that anything would happen to him.
But the words "wash the inkstone" really made her feel at a loss.
Why did Yu Chang jump into the river?
"Xiaoyu." Seeing the expression on Wenyu's face changing again and again, Song Linsheng couldn't help but worry about her, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu."
After saying that, Song Linsheng patted the back of Wen Yu's hand and took the inkstone from her hand. "Xiyan, what's going on?"
Chen Chuo and Song Shuangcheng, who were standing by, also straightened their expressions at this moment and stepped forward to ask, "Xiyan, tell me in detail."
"Your Highness? The eldest son?"
Xiyan glanced hurriedly at everyone present and said suddenly.
"Just now, Miss Xingxing and I were lighting lanterns under the pomegranate tree by the river. We had originally planned to go look for Madam Wen and Young Master after we finished lighting the lanterns..."
Xiyan looked at Wenyu with a look of confusion, seven parts shame and three parts timidity, and replied hurriedly, "But I don't know why, but Miss Yingying just walked away, and I followed her all the way, thinking she wanted to see the scenery of Jiangyang."
As he washed his inkstone, he turned and pointed to the riverbank in the distance, which was out of sight. "When we reached a secluded place, Miss Xingxing actually jumped into the river without saying a word!"
"What?" Wen Yu was shocked and asked immediately, "She didn't say a word?"
"Yes, yes." Xiyan's voice was already tinged with tears. "Since getting off the carriage tonight, Miss Yingying has been very quiet, even more so than usual."
Wen Yu's heart was churning, as if a huge wave was sweeping towards him.
She didn't understand what Yu Chang meant by this.
"Saving people is important! Take me there quickly!"
No matter what the situation, she has to find the person first.
Not to mention that he is not a vicious monster, even if he is, he has not done anything against the will of heaven or morality in the past few months. She cannot just sit there and do nothing.
"I've asked for help from the patrol officers nearby and asked them to go down into the water to search." Xi Yan hurriedly turned around and led the way. "Madam Wen, this way."
Wen Yu lifted up his robe and ran away.
Like a fish swimming upstream in the surging crowd.
"Xiaoyu, I'll go with you." Seeing this, Song Linsheng immediately followed, but after taking two steps, he had to turn back and said, "Sister Chen Chuo, brother, please wait here for a while, I..."
"It's okay. Brother Cheng and I will go with you. More people means more help." Chen Chuo raised his hand, signaling Song Linsheng to follow quickly.
Song Linsheng nodded, no longer refused, turned around and followed Wen Yu's steps.
Although he didn't know what Miss Yingying meant by doing this, she had a special identity and was not an ordinary person, so he should treat her with caution no matter what.
But what he couldn't understand was that Miss Yingying had never behaved abnormally in the past. Why would she suddenly...
Song Linsheng calmed down and stopped thinking. He just followed Wen Yu closely and stretched out his hand to block the pedestrians around her.
Chen Chuo and Song Shuangcheng exchanged glances and followed closely behind.
Several people left one after another. Their hurried backs made the lights on both sides of the street stretch out, and then they were trampled under the feet of the passing crowd. When the crowd dispersed, they disappeared as if they had never existed.
The streets are still bustling and the lanterns are still shining brightly.
Mu Tong, with his back to the window, was staring at the table, wondering what he was thinking about.
Until the attendant beside him whispered, "Sir, Madam Wen and the others... they've left..."
Mu Tong's knuckles, which were originally tapping on the table, suddenly stopped, hanging in the air and refusing to fall.
The taut string in my heart seemed to break suddenly in an instant, making a harsh sound.
He couldn't tell whether he was relieved or sighing.
Mu Tong turned around and looked out the window with a gloomy look.
Where Wen Yu had just stood, the vendors were still there, the bright moon was still there, but there was no longer... Wen Yu.
He looked forward along the long street, searching among the crowded crowd—
But one could vaguely see the edge of Wen Yu's light blue clothes.
Mu Tong's fingertips tightened, and he slammed them against the window sill as if he couldn't control himself. Then he couldn't help but open his mouth...
But he suddenly stopped and fell silent before he could even open his mouth.
What is he...doing?
Seeing this, the attendant beside him helplessly advised: "Sir, do you want to go downstairs and chase him now?"
Outside the window was a bustling street, and inside the window was a quiet and deserted private room. Amidst the movement and stillness, no one responded to the secretary's words.
He only seemed to hear a very light sigh, which disappeared with the sound of the wind before he could hear it clearly.
Mu Tong turned around slowly, and his gaze fell on the silent red cloth on the table again.
After a long while, Mu Tong finally said, "Let's go back home."
The secretary saw his master walk away. When the corner of his clothes brushed the edge of the table, the red cloth seal disappeared with it. He understood but felt helpless. "Yes, sir."
But before he could catch up, Mu Tong suddenly stopped, turned around and instructed: "Send more people to help patrol and rescue people."
"Ah? What?" Shishu was caught off guard and was a little stunned.
Mu Tong did not explain anything, just left two words and turned away -
"Go ahead."
"yes……"
The secretary responded. Although he did not understand the master's instructions, he did not refuse and immediately turned around and went to the other end.
Just across the window, the street below is still there, but the building above is deserted.
The moon hangs in the sky and the sky is full of stars.
But at this moment, Wen Yu, who was following behind the inkstone, walked hurriedly and had no intention of stopping to admire it.
It’s just that the scene doesn’t suit the feeling.
There were already quite a few people gathered on the riverbank not far away, but fortunately judging by their clothes, they were all patrol officers from the government office, and they did not alarm the people in the distance.
Wen Yu turned around and looked back at where he came from. The lights were bright and the noise was still there.
If we alarm the people now, it will surely cause panic, so it would be better to evacuate them first...
"We're here, we're here!" Xi Yan pushed away the crowd with one hand and let Wen Yu, Song Linsheng and others move to the front.
The vast river water in front of me, under the cover of moonlight, looks even colder and cooler, making people feel cold all over at a glance.
Wen Yu glanced around and roughly counted the number of people around him.
"Song Linsheng." Wen Yu called softly, "Are these people from the government office?"
Song Linsheng nodded and replied affirmatively, "Yes, they are all the yamen runners on patrol tonight."
Wen Yu stared at the undulating river surface in the distance. The shimmering waves were eye-catching but also swaying so much that it was difficult to look directly at them.
Blurred and dangerous.
"Tell them all to withdraw and continue patrolling as usual. There's no need to wait here."
If she said that Yu Chang committed suicide by jumping into the river, she would never believe it.
How could he, a big monster whose age is unknown, easily become so depressed?
Besides, the amount of water in the Yuan River was probably not enough for him to drink a sip, so how could it possibly drown him?
Wen Yu had an idea in her mind. Although she didn't know why, she knew that Yu Chang must have hidden himself.
In this way, even if these patrolling yamen runners get everything they want, it will still be useless.
The best thing would be to withdraw the people and then she would find another way.
Song Linsheng's eyebrows twitched, and he understood Wen Yu's meaning at a glance. He immediately turned around and gave orders, but Xi Yan stopped him.
"No! Madam Wen, Miss Yingxing is still..." Xiyan advised in a panic and bewildered tone.
