The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

As soon as the shop owner finished speaking, Yun Jue froze, somewhat unconvinced.

He lowered his lips and trembled, "Is Xinyue's whereabouts known?"

Neither Chu Xin nor Yun Jue are from Yanjing.

She disappeared for nearly half a year.

Over the past six months, the owner and his wife of Jing'an Hall have been searching everywhere in Yanjing, but to no avail.

It was not until a few days ago when Yun Lan sent someone to deliver a letter in exchange for the Ta Que Zhi that they learned about Chu Xinyue's situation.

Yun Jue and Chu Xinyue are childhood sweethearts.

They were also engaged.

Unfortunately, one night half a year later, Chu Xinyue disappeared.

Yun Jue privately requested the prince, wanting to use the prince's connections to find it, but how could it be so easy to find it in such a vast sea of ​​people?

Now that Chu Xinyue's whereabouts were known, he found it hard to believe.

Holding a sword, with an expressionless face, he turned around and headed towards the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Yanjing.

In the private room opposite, Shen Mi saw Yun Jue leave and immediately stood up from his chair.

"Yunlan, prepare the carriage."

"We have to reach the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city before him."

"quick."

"Yes, ma'am."

The master and servant hurriedly left the inn, found a carriage at the side door of the inn, pulled the reins, and headed straight for the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city.

In the carriage, Shen Mi took out a veil and handed it to Yun Lan.

"Put this on first."

After Yunlan took the veil and put it on, Shen Mi took out a hairpin from her arms and put it in Yunlan's hand.

"This hairpin was bought from a shop in the south of Yanjing City. Take it. I think they should recognize it."

"Miss Chu should have three or five good friends in Yanjing."

"Today, you are one of her good friends."

Yun Lan only understood half of what was said, but still understood what Shen Mi meant.

"Miss, you want me to find Doctor Chu and his wife in the name of Miss Chu's friend?"

Shen Mi nodded, "Yes, last time I asked you to deliver the letter and get the Ta Que Zhi, you didn't show up, and they didn't see you either."

"When the time comes, just do as I say."

Shen Mi frowned, with a very complicated expression.

Yun Lan asked in confusion: "Miss, why do you look like this?"

Shen Mi said calmly: "In fact, I have no idea whether Miss Chu is in Prince Xin's mansion or not."

"Perhaps, he was tortured to death by Prince Xin a long time ago, and his body was probably thrown into a mass grave."

"Or maybe, the one who believes in Prince Xin's mansion is not Miss Chu, but another woman."

"But it doesn't matter. As long as Yun Jue believes that it is Miss Chu who is in Prince Xin's mansion and is likely to be alive, that's enough."

"Yes, ma'am."

The carriage of Shen Mi and his servant took the nearest path and arrived at the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city first.

In the suburbs of the city in summer, the sounds of insects chirping and frogs croaking are pleasant to the ears.

When Shen Mi and Yun Lan arrived, the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city was a desolate scene.

From a distance, the dilapidated temple looked particularly desolate in the night.

A dim candlelight was burning in the temple.

A man in his fifties was lying on the dry grass, unable to move.

Although the knee was bandaged with white cloth, blood could still be vaguely seen seeping out.

He lay dying on the haystack, his eyes full of hatred.

Next to the man was a middle-aged woman of about his age.

There were bloody bruises on the woman's face, and some knife marks were clearly visible on her arms.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

This person was none other than Doctor Chu's wife, Xu.

Mrs. Xu was disheveled, biting her pale lips tightly, and weakly helped Doctor Chu up.

"Master, drink this medicine first."

She handed the bowl of medicine in her hand to Doctor Xu's lips and poured the medicine into Doctor Chu's mouth.

Doctor Chu coughed weakly twice, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xu felt extremely distressed and used her worn-out clothes to wipe the blood off Doctor Chu's lips.

After the man lay down again, Xu couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Master, why don't we leave Yanjing?"

"Xinyue would have died long ago if she had entered Prince Xin's mansion."

"My poor child, oooooo… my poor child."

Doctor Chu lay on the haystack and shook his head weakly.

"Even if...even if I have to leave Yanjing, I want to see her one last time."

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead."

Xu sobbed and said, "But now, the Yanjing government office won't care at all. How can ordinary people like you and me compete with Prince Xin?"

"He is the younger brother of the current emperor. What can we do?"

"It's just that my child is suffering. I heard that a girl who enters Prince Xin's mansion is like entering hell. I'm afraid there won't even be any remains left."

After Xu finished speaking, she lowered her head and covered her face and cried.

After Yunlan and Shen Mi got off the carriage, Shen Mi approached Yunlan.

"Yunlan, just go in."

"I'll wait for you in the carriage, just do as I say."

"Doctor Chu and his wife have saved many people. They shouldn't have ended up like this."

Yun Lan held the hairpin in her hand and looked at Shen Mi.

"Miss, then...will it be dangerous for you to be alone in the carriage?"

Shen Mi shook her head, "No."

"You should go as soon as possible, otherwise Yun Jue will come and see me and I'm afraid he will get suspicious."

"I will park the carriage on the other side where it can't be seen."

Yun Lan nodded, took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it into Shen Mi's hand.

"Miss, it's for self-defense."

She sent Shen Mi onto the carriage, pulled the reins to stop the carriage where the ruined temple could not see her, and then slowly walked into the ruined temple.

The summer breeze blew gently by her ears as Yun Lan walked step by step towards the dilapidated temple.

Many people have died in this dilapidated temple, and it has been abandoned for many years, with no one daring to come.

However, Doctor Chu and his wife were forced into a corner by the people in Prince Xin's mansion and did not want to leave Yanjing, so they had no choice but to come to this dilapidated temple, hoping to see their daughter one day.

He can also redress the grievances of his daughter.

Inside the temple, Xu heard the footsteps outside the door and her brows suddenly darkened. She held the dagger in her hand tremblingly, staring at the door.

She was trembling all over, afraid that the person coming was someone from Prince Xin's palace.

"What's coming will come. At worst, we will die together and pay for my daughter's life."

As soon as Xu finished speaking, the door of the dilapidated temple was pushed open.

The couple saw that the person coming was a little girl wearing a veil.

The little girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although she was wearing a veil, she didn't look like a bad person.

She was holding a pearl hairpin in her hand, which was exactly the same as the one her daughter Chu Xinyue had.

"Aunt Xu."

The word "Aunt Xu" surprised Mrs. Xu for a moment.

Before she could react, Yun Lan had already walked in from outside.

Xu asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Doctor Chu, who was lying in the pile of broken grass, weakly propped himself up and got up from the ground.

Xu held the dagger tightly, and looked at Yunlan with a trembling body. "How come you have our Xinyue's hairpin in your hand?"

Yunlan handed the hairpin to Xu carefully.

"Aunt Xu, I'm Yue'er's friend in Yanjing."

"I have inquired from many sources and learned that you two have fallen into trouble while trying to find her and are now in this ruined temple on the outskirts of the city."

"Right now, people from Prince Xin's Mansion are still asking around for news about you."

"Aunt Xu, I'm afraid this dilapidated temple can no longer accommodate you. How about I take you away from Yanjing?"

Xu pursed her lips and looked at Yunlan.

"Is the girl really our Xinyue's friend?"

Yun Lan nodded, "Of course, I didn't lie to you."

Xu sobbed, "Yue'er is now in a den of thieves, and her life or death is unknown. How can we leave Yanjing?"

Yun Lan felt helpless seeing how persistent Xu was.

"Aunt Xu, now that Yue'er has entered Prince Xin's mansion, there is no way she can get out."
