Mother Yan came to her senses, quickly opened the door and went out. At this time, the people who were watching the fun outside had already dispersed.

Mother Yan first went to the Liu Mansion to find Liu Zimo to explain the matter, and then the two of them went to the government office together to report the matter.

Liu Yueru cautiously held the two little guys in her arms.

She specially had the walls of this yard raised a lot higher, so that people with average skills in martial arts could not get in at all.

And yesterday, she took Lixia, Ye Tao and the others to Wanfu Temple. Presumably, those people took advantage of that time to bury the bloody severed hand in their flower beds!

Liu Yueru couldn't understand what the other party's intention was, as she had just taken a look at the severed hand.

It was slender and small, and looked like a woman's severed hand.

Liu Yueru felt a chill down her spine when she thought about those people being able to come and go as they pleased in her courtyard. She said to the two little guys in a gentle voice, "It seems like we can't stay here for a while. Can we go back to the Liu Mansion with my second uncle later?"

Yan Ge'er looked a little panicked when he saw the severed hand, but he quickly calmed down.

Hua Ge'er had been following Xie Jingrui around for many years, and he had long been accustomed to those bloody scenes. After the shock, he looked at Liu Yueru and said, "Mother, why don't you and brother Yan come back to live with us in the Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Liu Yueru felt a little relieved when she saw that the two little guys didn't seem very scared.

A smile appeared on his face: "Brother Hua, this is not in accordance with the rules. We will be safe if we go back to Liu Mansion. Our uncle and grandfather are here. Those people dare not enter and leave the yard at will."

Hua Ge'er nodded sensibly.

Not long after.

Mother Yan and Liu Zimo brought the officials to Liu Yueru's courtyard.

Liu Yueru led the people to the flowerbed in the courtyard and said, "Just now the kitten at home was digging the soil here and then dug out a bloody severed hand."

After hearing this, the officer nodded in the direction of Liu Yueru, and then ordered his men to dig up the flower bed completely.

As the soil was dug up, a strong smell of blood and stench rushed out.

It filled the courtyard.

Liu Yueru frowned, she took the two little guys to the side room, and told Jingzhe and Bailu to keep an eye on them.

Then, he returned to the hospital again.

The officers had dug up the entire flower bed, and buried inside were not only the woman's severed hand, but also her legs, body flesh, and severed arms.

But on the severed hand, Liu Yueru clearly saw a familiar mark.

Her face turned pale instantly and she staggered back.

Liu Zimo reached out to hold her and asked worriedly, "Do you recognize Yue'er's body?"

Liu Yueru nodded slightly towards Liu Zimo.

The officer wrapped the body parts in black linen, then asked everyone about the circumstances in which they found the body. After making a record, he left Yuexinju.

After seeing the corpse, Liu Yueru's expression became not very good.

Liu Zimo didn't ask any more questions, but took them away and returned to the Liu Mansion together.

When Aunt Chen learned that Liu Yueru was going to bring Yan Ge'er and Hua Ge'er back, she asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of Liu Yueru's favorite meals.

Seeing Liu Yueru coming back, she smiled and called out, "Miss is back."

Liu Yueru was stunned when she heard Aunt Chen address her like this, and then she forced a faint smile at her.

Aunt Chen has watched Liu Yueru grow up since she was a child, and she thinks that when the lady was still alive, she took good care of her.

Now that her madam is gone, she naturally wants to return the kindness to her children.

"The master is waiting for you in the study." Aunt Chen said to Liu Yueru and the others in a gentle voice.

Then he set his eyes on the two little guys: "Master Yan, Master Hua, Aunt Chen will take you to play with Miss Mu Bai, okay?"

Seeing that Aunt Chen in front of them did not seem like a bad person, the two little guys readily agreed.

He also said to Liu Yueru: "Mother, we will be back soon."

Liu Yueru asked Bai Lu to go with them. After watching their receding backs, she followed Liu Zimo to Liu Zhengtang's study.

just.

Before the two of them stepped into the study, they heard a familiar voice.

"This matter still needs long-term consideration." Xie Jingrui said in a low voice.

"Father." Liu Yueru called out.

"come in."

Liu Zimo pushed the door open and took Liu Yueru into Gu Zhengtang's study.

"Close the door." Gu Zhengtang's voice sounded again.

Liu Yueru frowned slightly, closed the door, and saluted them.

Gu Zhengtang pointed to a seat on the side and motioned for them to sit down.

Liu Zimo looked at Xie Jingrui in confusion, and then asked, "I wonder why father asked us to come here?"

Xie Jingrui's sword-like brows were tightly knitted. "The Northern Frontier is sending envoys to Kyoto. They also brought gunpowder, the same gunpowder that blew up my dungeon last time."

"They are now rampant in our capital because they have mastered the research and development of gunpowder. Father's intention is to stabilize their foreign envoys first, use marriage to ease the relationship between the two countries, and then obtain the method of gunpowder manufacturing from them."

"What does this have to do with Yue'er?" Liu Zimo asked puzzledly.

Liu Zhengtang sighed softly: "Northern Frontier's intention is to give us the method of making gunpowder in exchange for one person!"

Without waiting for them to speak, Liu Zimo's gaze instantly fell on Liu Yueru.

He frowned and asked, "The person they want is Yue'er?"

Gu Zhengtang also said worriedly: "Yes."

Liu Zimo stood up immediately and said, "I don't agree. Those people from the northern border can use evil magic in Kyoto to burn those seven or eight-year-old children into charcoal. If Yue'er goes there, it will be nothing more than sending her to her death."

He looked at Xie Jingrui with disappointment and asked, "Do you think so too? A country like them is able to do such a heinous thing right under our noses in Kyoto. They will not stop their plan just because Yue'er has passed."

"Zimo, calm down. I asked you to come here to discuss this matter. How to dissuade the emperor from this idea, or to marry Yue'er off in a short time." Gu Zhengtang felt distressed when he looked at Liu Yueru. She looked very much like her mother. How could he bear to let her suffer?

Liu Zimo heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and looked at Liu Yueru with some reluctance: "Why don't we hide Yue'er."

"This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Fortunately, you are well-read and can come up with such an idea." Gu Zhengtang's face suddenly darkened.

Liu Yueru sat aside and watched them worrying about their own affairs. She suddenly stood up and said, "Since they specifically asked me to go, they will definitely not change their mind at will. If I don't go, I'm afraid more people will suffer. But I have never seen any envoys from the Northern Frontier. Why did they specifically ask me to go to the Northern Frontier as a peace envoy?"
