After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

While the master and servant were talking, Mu Beiyan came over.

Come and pick up Shen Qingyin to go and offer tea to the lady.

Seeing Mu Beiyan gently holding Shen Qingyin's hand, with a rare tenderness in his eyes, Fan'er breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that my son-in-law really had something important to do last night...

Shen Qingyin followed Mu Beiyan to the lady's residence.

Madam Mu sat in the hall with a frown on her face.

She already knew that her grandson had been busy with official business in the study all night, and now she was looking at Mu Beiyan with a look of disappointment on her face.

Didn’t he clearly come to his senses before and knew that he should find a wife for himself?

How come after getting married, something seems a little weird?

How could she not know that he had some official business that was more important than entering the bridal chamber?

After serving tea, the three of them had breakfast together. When Shen Qingyin said goodbye and left, the lady made an excuse that she had something to say and kept Mu Beiyan.

"What kind of important official business is it that requires you to take care of it all night long?" The lady's face was gloomy.

"Emergency military affairs..." Mu Beiyan said in a low voice.

"Emergency military affairs? How urgent is it? If it is urgent military affairs, why didn't I see you go to the military camp?" The lady naturally didn't believe it.

This couldn't fool her.

After a pause, seeing that Mu Beiyan didn't say anything, the lady suddenly widened her eyes and said, "Grandson, you can't be... Are you okay?"

The meaning of the words is self-evident. He wants to know whether his grandson has that kind of problem.

Mu Beiyan was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

"Grandma, what are you thinking? My grandson is fine, there is nothing wrong with him..."

The lady breathed a sigh of relief: "Have you finished your official duties?"

Mu Beiyan nodded: "I'm done..."

"It's good that you're done. Don't delay your work today. You finally married Yin Yin home, don't leave her alone." Mrs. Mu advised.

Mu Beiyan agreed and left Xiang'an Hall, and saw Shen Qingyin still waiting for him outside the door.

He walked over and held Shen Qingyin's hand again.

"Didn't you say that day that you would bring a jade hairpin to propose marriage?" Shen Qingyin didn't wait any longer and directly asked the question in his mind.

Mu Beiyan was stunned for a moment, but did not deny that he was the one who saved Shen Qingyin.

He pursed his lips and said, "That day I was ordered to do a secret mission, but unexpectedly, it took longer than expected. Fearing that things might change over time, I sent you to the capital first... After that, my grandmother couldn't wait and went to propose marriage herself... When I returned to the capital, the Shen family had already agreed, so why did I need to bring the jade hairpin to propose marriage?"

Shen Qingyin widened his eyes.

"Send me to Beijing?"

Didn't she come to Beijing because Shen Zhinian was transferred to another post?

"You mean - the Shen family came to Beijing because... because of your arrangement?" Shen Qingyin suddenly understood.

Mu Beiyan nodded.

"I can't get away right now, and my grandmother is worried about my marriage, so I have no choice but to do this for now..."

Shen Qingyin was stunned.

Over the years, Shen Zhinian has been running around and making arrangements with everyone in order to get promoted.

I once unexpectedly heard Mrs. Du crying and saying that if she continued to spend like this, the family would not be able to make ends meet.

But year after year, a lot of money was spent, but Shen Zhinian always stayed in the position of county magistrate, and no opportunity ever came to him.

A few months ago, Shen Zhinian persuaded Mrs. Du to take a large sum of money to bribe Shangguan.

Not long after that, the transfer order came.

Shen Zhinian was very happy. Before leaving, he drank too much at the family dinner and sighed that it took a big move to get things done...

But it turns out that all this has nothing to do with his superiors...

What an irony...

After being stunned, Shen Qingyin was still confused.

"You are a great general, and we have only met once. Since you don't know my temperament, why did you go to so much trouble to marry me?"

Mu Beiyan wants to get married, and I wonder how many women will be vying to marry him.

Although she is somewhat pretty, Mu Beiyan doesn't look like someone who is obsessed with beauty... Otherwise, he wouldn't have been busy with official duties last night...

What's more, there are countless beautiful women in the capital alone.

There are also many who are good-looking and have good family backgrounds...

"Who said I didn't know—"

Mu Beiyan had just said one sentence when he was interrupted.

"Master, Madam, all the people who were sent to gather information around Yuhu County are back." Mu Xiaodao trotted up to the two of them.

Shen Qingyin looked nervous when he heard this. "Did you find out?"

"Madam, I haven't asked you in detail. Why don't you go and ask the person who has returned?"

Shen Qingyin followed Mu Beiyan to the front hall, where several servants from the general's mansion were waiting.

"Tell me, what have you discovered?" Mu Beiyan asked after pulling Shen Qingyin to sit next to him.

"Reporting to the general, my subordinates have made inquiries in Yuhu and several surrounding counties, and there is indeed no family that has a girl as old as Miss Miaomiao missing..." said a leader.

Shen Qing lowered his eyes in disappointment.

still none……

"However, my subordinates have discovered something strange. Although no one is missing, the number of child kidnapping cases in those counties in recent years is obviously higher than in other places..."

Shen Qingyin was stunned.

Kidnapping children?

"What about the year when the Shen family adopted Miaomiao, which was more than two years ago, was there anyone kidnapping a girl?" she asked.

"Madam, I have investigated and found that there were indeed five cases of kidnapping of girls more than two years ago. However, the girls from these five families were all returned safely. No one was missing..."

Shen Qingyin was stunned again.

I vaguely felt that there was something weird about it.

Did they all return safely? If it was just one or two, it would be a coincidence, but did all five return safely?

What a coincidence!

Are all the kidnappers in that area kind-hearted?

"Among these kidnapped girls, are there any who are about the same age as Miaomiao?" Shen Qingyin asked again.

"Madam, three of the girls are about the same age as Miss Miaomiao, but their families have been confirmed, and they are now well at home."

Shen Qingyin was speechless.

"Keep investigating." Mu Beiyan's face darkened. "This general doesn't believe that we can't find any clues at all."

"Yes, sir." Several people took the order and retreated.

Shen Qingyin lowered his head slightly, staring at the ground, and fell into deep thought.

"Yin Yin." Mu Beiyan called softly, with a hint of concern and tenderness in his voice.

Shen Qingyin came back to his senses and nodded slightly in response.

"Do you think this matter is a little strange?" Mu Beiyan continued to ask, his tone calm and steady.

Shen Qingyin frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Well... it is true. I remember that when I investigated Xiaohua's life experience in Taoyuan County last time, there were also many coincidences. These coincidences almost made people mistakenly think that Xiaohua was Miaomiao..."

"I wonder if there is something wrong with this matter?"
