More importantly, Han Yue'er firmly believes that she is completely different from Sheng Junwei. She relies on her own wisdom and courage to make her way in the capital and has never relied on anyone.

When she returns triumphantly from Sanma Village, she will thoroughly slap the faces of Prime Minister Pei and Zhang, the snobbish couple, and make them see the value they once missed.

Duke Dingguo was originally a little hesitant about Han Yue'er's joining, after all, she was not the core figure in this operation.

However, at this moment, Prince Jingxuan stood up leisurely, with a playful smile on his face: "Grandfather, you don't know that Miss Han is actually an extraordinary bounty hunter. Not only is she highly skilled and well-connected, but since she can find clues to the disappearance of the Duke's Mansion, she must have a deep understanding of the inside story. Bringing her along will undoubtedly help us find my great-aunt more quickly."

Prince Jingxuan's words were like a reassurance, allowing Duke Dingguo to finally accept Han Yueer's request to go with him.

Han Yue'er's eyes were firm, her lips slightly raised, and the light of confidence shone in her eyes: "Indeed, I do have some unique ways in finding people. Whether it is capturing clues, tracking clues, or insight into people's hearts, I have my own unique experience. You two can relax, this time I will go all out to find the prince's great-aunt and live up to your trust."

Faced with Han Yue'er's firm statement, a satisfied smile appeared on Prince Jingxuan's face, and although the Duke did not say anything, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

He nodded slightly, obviously approving of Han Yueer's promise.

Afterwards, the Duke turned around and went into the palace, reporting the matter in detail to the Emperor. After getting the Emperor's approval, the group, led by the Duke, left the prosperous Shengjing City.

King Jingxuan and Han Yue'er walked side by side, their figures blending into the huge team.

Although Pei Yu was anxious and eager to go with them, he had no choice but to let his body recover. He knew that forcing himself to follow would only bring risks to the team.

He could only watch Han Yueer's back getting farther and farther away, his eyes full of worry and reluctance.

Sheng Junwei did not disturb Pei Yu who was deeply lost in thought. She just turned around silently and walked slowly back to Yunyi Pavilion.

Seeing this, Yunying felt confused and hesitated to speak.

She knew that Sheng Junwei always had deep meaning in her actions, but this incident seemed to involve many secrets and life and death, making it difficult for her to guess.

Sheng Junwei seemed to see through her doubts. She waved her hand gently and said gently but firmly: "Yunying, I have my reasons for doing this. After some time, you will understand everything."

Time flies. In just seven days, Pei Yu's injuries have improved significantly after careful treatment. He is able to get out of bed and walk freely.

The affairs at the manor were complicated, and Zhang had been guarding there for the past few days. Prime Minister Pei was busy with government affairs, leaving home early and returning late, and it was almost impossible to find him in the mansion.

Without the close attention of her two elders, Sheng Junwei felt a lot more relaxed.

She understood that as long as Pei Yu stopped acting recklessly, she could let him live his life in his own way without interfering too much.

She even skipped the routine scene of going to Shengxiyuan to show her virtuous character.

After all, she guessed that Pei Yu might not want to see her at the moment, and that the two of them not disturbing each other might be the most appropriate way to get along at the moment.

However, this rare tranquility did not last long.

One day, the housekeeper came again with a solemn look on his face and reported respectfully: "Young Madam, Duke Dingguo and Prince Jingxuan are here in person to visit you. They are now waiting for your arrival at Xiansi Residence."

Yunying was confused when she heard the news. Could it be that the Duke's long-lost sister had been found, and they came here specially to express their gratitude to the young lady?

The housekeeper observed the expressions of the people and realized that the atmosphere was delicate, so he lowered his voice and cautiously reminded, "Young Madam, from what I have observed, the Duke and the others seem to be looking a little strange at the moment. Please be careful when you talk to them later."

Sheng Junwei was not panicked when she heard this. Instead, she seemed calmer. She smiled and responded calmly: "Thank you for your reminder, housekeeper. I will pay attention to it."

Seeing this, the housekeeper consoled her, "This is my responsibility, Madam, you don't have to thank me."

After saying that, Sheng Junwei walked towards Xiansiju with steady steps.

Butler Pei Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then called over a servant who was sturdy and had a solemn face.

He lowered his voice, speaking slowly and firmly: "The master is currently handling important matters in the government hall. You must go there as soon as possible and report the emergency situation at home truthfully. Remember, be thorough and polite."

When the servant heard the order, his eyes were as sharp as torches. He nodded respectfully in response, turned around and walked away quickly.

Pei Yu watched his back as he walked away, and silently said in his heart: "God bless, the master can return in time."

He knew that this expectation was not only related to the current situation, but also to the safety of the young lady and how much the master valued her.

Pei Yu took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and resolutely walked towards Xiansiju.

At the same time, Sheng Junwei appeared outside the gate of Xiansiju.

Pei Yu had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw her appear, he immediately went forward to greet her.

After not seeing each other for just a few days, Pei Yu's complexion has recovered a lot, but the worry in his heart has not diminished at all. Instead, it has become more intense and is projected directly on Sheng Junwei.

The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.

Sheng Junwei did not learn any news about Han Yue'er from the housekeeper. She thought it was because of the noble status of Duke Dingguo and King Jingxuan, and the housekeeper was not willing to mention this low-key woman.

However, it was only at this moment that she realized that Han Yue'er did not come with them.

She was not surprised by this. After all, she did not always keep her third eye open to spy on everything in the world.

She knew very well that excessive use of spiritual power and mental strength would cause great loss to any practitioner.

Unless faced with a major life-or-death incident, she would never easily use her divination skills.

She knew very well that although power was great, it was not inexhaustible.

"Junwei!" Pei Yu stepped forward quickly, his concern evident in his words.

He told Sheng Junwei anxiously, "The Duke and the Prince searched all over Sanma Village to no avail and could not find the Duke's long-lost sister. This made the Duke furious and he decided that Han Yue'er's words were all lies, and even ordered her to be punished with a hundred slaps."

At this point, a trace of regret and anger flashed in Pei Yu's eyes.

Fortunately, King Jingxuan intervened at the critical moment and saved Han Yue'er from this disaster.

However, Sheng Junwei did not have the protection of King Jingxuan, and her situation was even more worrying.

Pei Yu clenched his fists. Although he knew that as a commoner, he was as weak as an ant in front of the powerful Duke, he would never allow Sheng Junwei to suffer any harm.
