Fu Nanjia's clothes were as red as blood, his face was pale, his black hair was dishevelled, and he looked emaciated. He was trapped in an armchair and unable to leave. His eyes were like black dots of ink, not allowing any light to enter.

It is beautiful, but also eerie and strange.

Jing Shiyue squatted on the medicine box and gave Fu Nangjia an acupuncture without saying a word.

My legs had already become swollen and discolored, but fortunately the weather was cold and there was not enough charcoal in the house. I also applied anti-inflammatory ointment on a daily basis, so the leg flesh did not rot.

"Just based on you, you can also win Xiaoguai's favor?"

The obviously sarcastic words fell into his ears, and someone took the blame for him, so Jing Shiyue didn't feel so sour anymore.

Yes, just me!

I have won the favor of the Second Miss, but you are locked up in the room like an object, with nothing!

"Oh, plaything."

Jing Shiyue snorted and continued the treatment.

The second young lady was very picky. Although her legs didn't need to be healed, she wanted them to be restored to their original skin color as much as possible.

Wait for her to come back and give her a perfect doll.

Fu Nanjia suddenly struggled violently, his charming face twisted, and he screamed madly:

"Where did she go! Where did she go! Did she run away on purpose? Did she go to find another man?!"

The chair creaked as he shook it, as if it would fall apart at any moment. The silver needle that Jing Shiyue had just dropped broke in the opponent's leg because of the opponent's sudden movement.

are you crazy!

Compensate me for the silver needles passed down from my ancestors!

"Mr. Fu, I advise you to shut up."

"Bitch!" Fu Nanjia, with her long hair loose, stared at him like a devil and cursed him cruelly, "You can only seduce Xiaoguai! She is mine!"

He laughed wildly:

"Hahahahahaha, Xiaoguai is mine. He belongs to me, Fu Nanjia, and only me..."

Jing Shiyue was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He took a thick silver needle and rubbed it a few times, causing Fu Nangjia to be temporarily paralyzed all over. He also pressed the mute point.

"Bah! You're the only one making trouble!"

An hour later, today's treatment was completed. Jing Shiyue brought Fu Nangjia back, picked up the medicine box and left without looking back.

Dali Temple Yamen.

"Have the clues been verified?"

"Verified."

"The results of it?"

“No, I didn’t find it.”

"What do you mean, not found?"

"It's just... when I went to look for it, the place was empty."

"waste!!!"

The Dali Temple official waved away a table of documents and said, "If we fail to catch the suspect, the day after tomorrow you will all report to Caishikou with your heads on your shoulders!"

……

Similar questioning took place at the Regent’s Palace.

"how's it going?"

“Not very satisfactory.”

"What do you mean?"

"Several groups of people were secretly searching. Some were targeting the Crown Prince of Qiang, and some were targeting the Second Miss Lu."

"What do you mean by rushing to Miss Lu Er?"

Xiao Churan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed several times, looking puzzled at Xuan Ming. Besides Lu Yingxue, who else hated her?

Xuanming Dao:

"It seems that someone in the palace can be traced behind this."

"In the palace?"

Xiao Churan closed his eyes wearily and said softly, "Pass the message to Duke Lu and Miss Lu."

……

The same goes for the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Has the whereabouts of the second young lady been discovered?"

"not yet."

"Where is the prince of Qiang?"

"nor."

"Where's the clue?!"

"No...no."

"Get down there and keep looking!"

Lu Jianzhang smashed another set of porcelain. His sudden rage made him feel dizzy as he had not slept for a long time.

"Master, how are you?"

Lu Jie strode forward and supported him. Lu Jianzhang leaned against the desk, trying to ease the dizziness and sighing again and again.

"Brother-in-law, are you okay? Why don't you take a rest first?"

Qin Yushu stood by with concern.

Lu Jianzhang took a deep breath, smiled bitterly and waved his hands:

"It's okay, I'm just worried.

Shuang'er is so weak, and now is a freezing cold day. I'm afraid if I can't find her, I'll have no chance. I'm also afraid that she'll be bullied..."

As for his daughter's reputation, he used to care about it. He hoped that his youngest daughter could marry a good and outstanding boy, and hoped that she would be happy in her life.

Now he only hopes that she can come back safely. Even if people are concerned that her reputation has been ruined during her disappearance and no one comes to propose marriage to her, he doesn't care.

At worst, as my second uncle said, I can find a good man to be Shuang'er's son-in-law, or raise two handsome men for her, so she won't have to endure the separation of father and daughter.

"No, Xiaoguaiguai will be fine. Brother-in-law doesn't need to worry too much. I believe we can find her back soon!"

Qin Yushu spoke to comfort him, and Lu Jie waved away the trembling servants, bent down, picked up the large pieces of porcelain and put them on the tray.

"Master, the Regent's Palace just sent a message saying that there is another hidden reason for the disappearance of the second young lady."

"Hidden secret?"

Lu Jianzhang suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Jie sharply.

"Yes."

Lu Jie nodded and handed over the letter he had just received.

Lu Jianzhang tore off the seal, took out the letter, shook it, unfolded it, and began to read it intently.

The letter recorded the news found without bias -

Someone had been keeping an eye on the Second Young Lady's movements for a long time, and had secretly followed her when she went out the day before yesterday; the youngest son of Marquis Changqing had instigated someone to stop her on the road and flirt with her; before the frightened horses of the envoys even got close, there was already chaos in front of the teahouse.

After reading it, Lu Jianzhang held the letter to the candle and lit it with an expressionless face. The orange flame grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into ashes in his hand.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said the word "good" three times in a row; the bone-chilling syllables forced out from between his teeth were even louder than the howling wind and snow outside.

He previously thought that Shuang'er was lost in the riot, then found and kidnapped by criminals, but he never thought that someone had set up this trap on purpose.

good, very good, excellent!

"master?"

"Brother-in-law?"

Qin Yushu, Yu Lu Jie all spoke out, fearing that he would be provoked to something bad.

Lu Jianzhang extended his hand to Lu Jie and said with a fake smile:

"It's alright, bring me the Duke's knife. He wants to go out and have a mad time."

Lu Jie looked at Qin Yushu nervously, wanting him to dissuade him, but Lu Jianzhang said coldly:

"It doesn't matter, I have discretion."

Lu Jianzhang finally took the precious sword that His Majesty had personally bestowed upon him after his triumphant return, ruffled his hair, and rushed out of the Lu Mansion with bloodshot eyes.

He always knew where His Majesty's bottom line was in indulging himself.

He has no military token, and there is no male heir in the Zhenguo Mansion. Even if the Xuanqi Army is loyal to him, the Zhenguo Mansion will disappear after a hundred years.

He has made many enemies in the court, but he does not form cliques for personal gain. He is a lone minister who can only seek protection from His Majesty.

He is loyal to his wife and they will be together all their lives, which makes Your Majesty think of his original wife and children.

However, the power struggle and imperial authority shattered the dream of His Majesty, who was still a prince at the time and was planning to live a quiet life in a corner.

Therefore, Your Majesty often looks for his own shadow in him.

For various reasons, as long as he does not affect Your Majesty's imperial power and the country, Your Majesty will indulge him.

"You scum, your grandpa is here!"

This is the third day since Lu Ningshuang disappeared.

The day after your Majesty gave the deadline for finding the Prince of Qiang.

Lu Jianzhang carried the imperial sword and attacked the residences of several court officials. Among them, the Changqing Marquis' residence, which had blocked the road and molested the Lu sisters before the incident, was the first to be hit.
