She had to go back and write a set of rules, including how to decorate the shop and the wages and benefits of the waiters and the manager.
Anyway, it won’t take long to renovate the shop, so she still has time.
——
When the Duwei woke up, he found that a nanny was missing from the mansion.
After Kou Yunyi went to find his mother to explain the situation, he called all the servants together to investigate the situation.
It turned out that the last person to see Aunt Liu last night was Xianglan.
"Madam! Last night, after Madam Liu and I helped the young lady to sleep, we went back to the side room to rest. I... I fell asleep without realizing it, and when I woke up, Madam Liu was gone!"
Xianglan's face turned pale with anxiety.
She really didn't know what was going on and her head was still confused.
Mrs. Kou glanced at the servants with sharp eyes. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the servants report that the master had returned.
Kou Jiming strode in, lifting the curtain of the main hall. Seeing a room full of servants, he waved his hands and asked them to leave.
"No need to check, Madam Liu is in Prince Ping's mansion."
Madam Kou and Kou Yunyi were both shocked: "Why did you suddenly go to the palace?!"
The key point is that after checking for so long, I haven’t heard that Madam Liu has gone out!
Kou Jiming sighed deeply. "The details are of great importance. Please don't ask. This matter ends here. Madam Liu is currently in the water dungeon in the military camp."
Kou Yunyi and his mother looked at each other and took a deep breath.
Can being sent to the water dungeon in the military camp be just an ordinary crime?
"Master, will we be implicated?" Mrs. Kou was a little worried.
"From what the prince said, it seems that this has nothing to do with us."
Kou Jiming was still confident about this. If they were really implicated, the prince would not send someone to tell him specifically, so as to avoid chaos in the family.
Kou Yunyi stood up and knelt down in front of her parents with a thud: "It's all my fault for not being able to control myself. This is why such a disaster happened. I deserve to be punished!"
Mrs. Kou glared at Kou Jiming fiercely.
He quickly stepped forward and pulled Kou Yunyi up with one arm: "What are you talking about! This has nothing to do with us. This means that before Liu Ma came here..."
"Ahem, anyway, don't think too much about it. I'm very busy! I have to rush back soon. If the prince hadn't asked me to come back specifically, I wouldn't have had the time to come back."
Mrs. Kou didn't expect that he would have to rush back before he even had time to sit down. She immediately felt distressed: "Have you eaten? Do you want something to fill your stomach..."
Looking at his parents like this, Kou Yunyi tactfully withdrew.
As soon as she returned to her own yard, she asked Xianglan to take her to the side room and searched it, but of course they found nothing.
"Have someone quietly investigate who Madam Liu interacts with the most besides us. Also, search the room where Madam Liu usually lives and keep it under guard."
"Yes!" Xiang Lan answered respectfully.
——
In the evening, Ji Changying disguised herself again and planned to go to the Duwei Mansion to check if there was any medicine where Madam Liu lived.
According to Yang Tuozi, those medicines were to be given to them once a month, and Madam Liu would certainly not prepare only one dose at a time. If they had not been caught, they should have been given the medicine within the past two days.
Ji Changying couldn't just watch Yang Tuozi and the others die.
When he went to the Duwei Mansion again tonight, Ji Changying found that the defense was much tighter than last night.
I guess after Kou Jiming knew about this, he strengthened the defenses in the mansion.
After Ji Changying became invisible, he entered the mansion very quietly.
She had been planning to search the room from last night again, but when she passed by a servant's room, she saw two little maids dozing off there.
"Why did the young lady ask us to look into Madam Liu's room? She's gone. It's so creepy."
The other one also shuddered: "I don't know what Madam Liu did wrong. She's gone just like that."
As they spoke, they shuddered and looked around in fear.
Ji Changying stopped.
She used her special ability to glance around the room. The things inside had been rummaged through and looked a bit messy.
There was nothing unusual anywhere he looked, but Ji Changying found a box under the floor.
A breeze blew by and the door of the room suddenly opened.
The two maids quickly closed the door again and wrapped their clothes tightly around themselves.
Ji Changying pried open a piece of floorboards under the bed legs in the room.
A black box was lying there. She opened it and took a look. Inside were two bottles of medicine and an antique knife.
There is a wolf head engraved on the handle, which looks ferocious and fierce. A hole has been drilled at the end, and it looks like it can be hung up as a decoration.
Ji Changying pulled out the scabbard and took a look. The blade was sharp and shining with a cold light.
Good workmanship!
She praised in her heart, took the knife and made a tentative scratch on the bed leg. Unexpectedly, the entire bed leg was cut neatly.
She quickly closed it with her hands, put the things back into the box and threw it directly into the space.
Then he rushed out the door like a gust of wind.
"Why is the wind so strong tonight?"
The little maid muttered something, stepped forward and closed the door again, this time finding something to block it.
As soon as I closed it, I heard a bang from inside.
The two were startled and couldn't control their shiver, and the door opened again.
Looking at the suddenly collapsed bed inside, the two swallowed their saliva, clasped their hands together and bowed around, muttering softly: "Every grievance has its perpetrator and its debt has its creditor, it has nothing to do with us..."
Ji Changying took the medicine he found to Yang Tuozi's house.
As soon as his feet touched the floor of Yang Tuozi's room, he immediately stood up and sat up: "Master!"
Ji Changying raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Quite a quick reaction."
Yang Tuozi smiled bitterly. Now he had to sleep with one eye open and one eye closed, not daring to fall asleep.
Ji Changying just said it casually without listening to his explanation and took out the two bottles of medicine from the box.
There were words written on each of the two bottles of medicine, one for 'low' and the other for 'high'.
"I found the medicine at Madam Liu's place, but there are two bottles here, and I'm not sure which one it is."
After hearing this, Yang Tuozi was happy at first, but then he felt heavy-hearted.
"I'm willing to try first!"
He didn't dare feed unknown things to his mother and daughter.
Ji Changying didn't say anything and handed the medicine to Yang Tuozi, who put it under his nose and smelled it.
The smell of the two bottles of medicine was very similar, and for a moment he couldn't tell which one he had taken before.
He stared at the words "high" and "low" on the two bottles of medicine, thought for a while in his mind, and poured out the medicine with the word "low" written on it.
"If anything happens to me, Master, please give my mother and daughter another kind of medicine!"
Yang Tuozi raised his head and swallowed the medicine with a fearless attitude.
