The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi

"Miss Shen!"

Mo Yun knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "Pian Pian is missing!"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi's heart seemed to be suddenly tightened by someone. What did "gone" mean?

She hurriedly asked further and found out that Lu Pianpian had disappeared since the day she disappeared.

After Shen Nanzhi was captured, the Shen family did not dare to make a single statement for the sake of Shen Nanzhi's reputation, and only secretly sent secret guards to look for him.

At the Zhenbei Palace, even Mo Yun and others did not know that Xiao Chuyun also had the identity of Xiao Yanchu. Considering that their involvement would only cause trouble, Xiao Chuyun arranged other tasks in advance and sent Mo Yun and others away.

Therefore, there was a deviation in the perception of both sides on the issue of Lu Pianpian.

The people in the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion thought that Lu Pianpian was in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, while the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion thought that Lu Pianpian was abducted together with Shen Nanzhi!

It was not until Shen Nanzhi sent people to the Zhenbei Palace to inquire about Lu Pianpian's whereabouts that Mo Yun and others learned that Lu Pianpian had been in trouble.

It's already the third day, and even with the tracking incense, it's no longer effective.

The first person Shen Nanzhi thought of was Qin Suyi and others.

But she quickly denied it.

Although Qin Suyi came to visit that day and paid extra attention to Lu Pianpian, it was probably only because Lu Pianpian and Doctor Lu were both Xiao Chuyun's people. To Qin Suyi, they were "one of their own", so she paid a little more attention to them.

Moreover, Qin Suyi was wearing the jade pendant of Doctor Lu. Although Shen Nanzhi had never asked Xiao Chuyun what specific entanglement they had in the past, she thought that Qin Suyi should have received the favor of Doctor Lu, and she would not do anything to harm Lu Pianpian.

However, Lu Pianpian, who didn't know Xiao Chuyun's true identity, was unaware of this, so when she saw the jade pendant, she was worried about Doctor Lu.

In fact, Qin Suyi's target was only Shen Nanzhi. She had no reason to target Lu Pianpian. Moreover, if Lu Pianpian really fell into their hands, Xiao Chuyun would not be unaware of it.

Since it’s not Qin Suyi and others, then who could it be?

Shen Nanzhi remembered that before she was abducted, Lu Pianpian went to a medicinal material warehouse specially opened for her by the Shen family, preparing to prepare another tonic for Shen Nanzhi.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi stopped on his way to pay his respects to his aunt's courtyard, turned around and instructed Qiuyu to call all the servants in the mansion who had seen Lu Pianpian that day for questioning.

After asking around, I found out that no one had seen Lu Pianpian since she entered the medicinal materials warehouse.

Shen Nanzhi hurriedly took Mo Yun with him and went to the medicinal materials warehouse in person.

The person in charge of the medicinal materials warehouse was an elderly servant known as Uncle Zhang.

When he was young, he was a personal soldier under Shen Nanzhi's grandfather. He had fought in the battlefield and made great contributions, but later he became disabled in his legs and walked with a limp. After retiring from the battlefield, he had no children and nowhere to go, so he stayed in the Shen family to support him in his old age.

When Shen Nanzhi went over, he was still having a high fever and looked a little confused.

After Shen Nanzhi asked patiently, she found out that he had been ill for several days.

The day Lu Pianpian came to look for medicinal herbs, she took the key directly from him and went to the warehouse herself.

Because Shen Nanzhi had previously instructed that Lu Pianpian could enter and exit the medicine warehouse at will and deal with it at will, so he did not go with her despite being seriously ill.

When he took inventory that night, he discovered that the door of the warehouse was not closed. He didn't know what had happened in the mansion and thought that Lu Pianpian was careless and forgot to lock the door. It was not until Shen Nanzhi asked him at this moment that he realized something was wrong.

Shen Nanzhi didn't say much to him. She just told him to rest and recuperate. Then she took the key and went to the warehouse again.

Ever since Lu Pianpian came to the Shen family, no one else has set foot here except Zhang Bo and Lu Pianpian.

Shen Nanzhi opened the door of the storehouse and looked inside. Dozens of medicine shelves were neatly arranged, and the medicinal materials on them were classified and neatly arranged. Even compared with those big pharmacies in Beijing, they were not much different.

Shen Nanzhi looked over from the door and didn't notice anything unusual.

Although Lu Pianpian only knew a few martial arts skills to save her life, she had a lot of strange medicinal powders on her body. Ordinary people could do nothing to her, let alone kidnap her without leaving any trace.

Shen Nanzhi walked in and looked carefully at the rows of medicine shelves.

When he reached the window seat, Shen Nanzhi paused.

She saw half a footprint on the windowsill.

Judging from the width of the sole, it should be an adult male.

Mo Yun also saw it. He took a step forward and raised his hand to push the window, but it didn't move.

At Shen Nanzhi's signal, he used his sword to directly chop open the window, only to see someone blocking the window with a wooden stick as thick as a bowl.

There was also half a footprint left outside the window.

This medicinal material warehouse is located in the southwest of the Shen family's home. Walking out from the back window is an artificially dug lotus pond. There is a culvert at the bottom of the lotus pond, which contains living water brought in from the moat.

Judging from the depth of the footprints, could it be that the person dived in through the culvert?

However, in order to prevent someone from taking advantage of this to invade the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, an iron fence is installed under the lotus pond, which is impassable under normal circumstances.

Without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to think about it, Mo Yunchao bowed to Shen Nanzhi and said, "I'll go take a look right away."

Seeing that Shen Nanzhi did not stop him, Mo Yun did not hesitate at all. He simply climbed out of the window and jumped into the lotus pond in the direction of the footprints.

Shen Nanzhi didn't just sit there and wait. She called Zhuifeng and others and asked them about the Jiang family's movements in the past few days.

Except for Jiang Qingyuan returning from the Imperial College and preparing to participate in the upcoming spring hunting tour, everything else in the Jiang family remained the same as usual, with nothing unusual.

Even the secret guards following Jiang Shiyan didn't make any other discoveries in the past few days.

It seems that Lu Pianpian’s disappearance has nothing to do with the Jiang family.

Who would that be?

As Shen Nanzhi was pondering, Mo Yun suddenly popped out of the pond.

With wet hair on his head, he waved to Shen Nanzhi and said anxiously, "Miss Shen, the fence under the lotus pond has been destroyed. I saw the dancing pearl flowers underneath."

Shen Nanzhi looked over carefully and saw that the jade bead flower in his hand was exactly Lu Pianpian's, and it was the one that Shen Nanzhi had picked out from her own jewelry box and gave to Lu Pianpian.

Lu Pianpian likes it very much and has been wearing it on her bun recently.

This culvert is connected to the moat, but the moat is so large that it is impossible to tell where the man landed and where he took Lu Pianpian.

Shen Nanzhi was extremely anxious, but she had to force herself to calm down.

Shen Changan has been looking for her with the secret guards for the past few days, and of course he has not neglected the search for Lu Pianpian. There is still no news at all, so how can she not be worried.

However, it is also possible that they followed the monks from Xiangguo Temple and went in the wrong direction from the beginning.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi hurriedly ordered Zhuifeng to find Shen Changan, and sent the secret guards who had just been recalled to continue the search.

Mo Yun also led his men to sneak out from the culvert and would look for clues along the moat.

After making all the arrangements, Shen Nanzhi returned to her own yard. She couldn't help with the search for people, so all she could do now was to wait and think calmly to see if there was anything she had missed or any clues.

Aunt Yang and others came to see Shen Nanzhi. They were relieved to see that she was getting better. But when they heard that Lu Pianpian had not returned yet, they became nervous again.

Shen Nanzhi persuaded them to go back. She couldn't sit still at this moment. She thought that instead of worrying at home, she might as well go to Jiang's house.

Qin Suyi had just died and her things were still at the Jiang family. Shen Nanzhi decided to go over and see if he could find anything.

It’s pretty much the same as what Zhuifeng reported.

The Jiang family is still as busy as ever...

There are the restless Zhao Jinhua and her three grandchildren, the ambitious Fuling who covets the position of the principal wife, and the trouble-making Zhao family.

Qin Suyi's death did not bring peace to the Jiang family's backyard.

On the contrary, the housekeeper power that Jiang Shiyan had previously given to Qin Suyi has now become a point of conflict between Fuling and Zhao.

Zhao originally supported Fuling in order to fight against Qin Suyi. Now, seeing that the originally well-behaved and docile Fuling had become ambitious, she became angry and stuffed two maids into Jiang Shiyan's room.

With Fuling as an example, Jiang Shiyan couldn't even pretend when faced with such things later.

The small backyard of the Jiang family was filled with smoke and foul smells.

When Shen Nanzhi went over, Zhao was setting rules for Fuling, and Zhao Jinhua and her two grandchildren were fanning the flames.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi coming uninvited, Zhao frowned and asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"

The wariness and resentment in his eyes almost overflowed.

Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face, and said in a cold tone: "It's my father's home, and it's also my home, so why can't I come?"

Hearing this, before Zhao could speak, Fuling at the side could not help but choked: "So, young lady knows that this is your family. I thought young lady only considered herself as a member of the Shen family and was eager to draw a clear line between us!"

Although she did not get along with the Zhao family, her attitude was surprisingly consistent when facing Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but frown at the weird tone, and mocked without any politeness: "Who do you think you are? You are just a concubine, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me. Don't you want your tongue anymore?"

Shen Nanzhi's aura was too strong. Just a glance from him was enough to scare Fuling into silence, not daring to say anything more.

Also not daring to say a word were Zhao Jinhua and her two grandchildren, who were chatting animatedly with Zhao before Shen Nanzhi came in.

Especially Zhao Jinhua, either she had suffered enough of a lesson in the Dali Temple dungeon, or she felt guilty for revealing Jiang Shiyan's secret without telling him. At this moment, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and didn't even dare to make eye contact with Shen Nanzhi.

Even when Shen Nanzhi's gaze swept over her, she subconsciously touched her forehead which had been hit by Shen Nanzhi with a teacup before, and then tried to shrink her neck, wishing she could be invisible.

But Shen Nanzhi still called her.

"Madam Wang."

Just one name frightened Zhao Jinhua so much that she stood up quickly.

Wang Miaoyin and Wang Miaoyu, who were following her, no longer had any of the arrogance they had when facing Shen Nanzhi before. They both stood up trembling because of this shout.

Even the look he gave Shen Nanzhi inadvertently was filled with fear.

Shen Nanzhi smiled slightly: "Nothing, I just heard that you are going back?"

Zhao Jinhua nodded hurriedly, smiling on her wrinkled face, "Yes... yes, we have been bothering you for a long time, and your grandmother is busy here, so we should go back."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled and reminded casually, "There has been too much rain in the south recently and there has been a flood. On your way back, Madam Wang, please pay more attention to areas where flash floods frequently occur and be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi saw Zhao's face turn pale, and there was an obvious trace of guilt in his eyes.

Sure enough, in this life, Jiang Shiyan and Zhao had no intention of letting these three generations of grandparents and grandchildren go.

Zhao Jinhua, who was unaware of the situation, naturally did not hear the hidden meaning of Shen Nanzhi's words, and just hurriedly agreed: "Thank you Miss Shen for reminding us. We were blind before and offended Miss Shen. Miss Shen, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against the three of us!"

As she said this, she was about to make Wang Miaoyin and Wang Miaoyu stand up and kneel down.

At this moment, a cold shout suddenly came from outside the door: "Why are you kneeling to her? It's not her turn to bully our Jiang family yet!"

Shen Nanzhi turned around and saw Jiang Qingyuan, dressed in a turquoise long gown, walking into the main room.

He is as majestic as green pines and bamboos, with a bit of the character and pride of a scholar.

At first glance, it does seem to be the case.

Like father, like son.

At least in terms of appearance and temperament, Jiang Qingyuan has inherited Jiang Shiyan's good looks.

Shen Nanzhi looked at him coldly, and he also looked at Shen Nanzhi coldly.

Although there was no evidence, Jiang Qingyuan had a strong intuition that the disappearance of Jiang Yanran and Zhao Wan was related to Shen Nanzhi.

So, even though he knew that the current Shen Nanzhi was not someone he could face head-on, he still couldn't help it, especially when he saw that everyone in the room was so overwhelmed by Shen Nanzhi that they couldn't raise their heads, he couldn't sit still.

Jiang Qingyuan asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled instead of getting angry and said, "My father has not severed the father-daughter relationship with me. Can't I come to his house? Besides, no matter what, I am his only bloodline. You are just an adopted child, but you really think of yourself as my father's biological son?"

Not being able to be Jiang Shiyan's son and having to be adopted into the Jiang family has always been a thorn in Jiang Qingyuan's heart.

Shen Nanzhi said this deliberately, which was undoubtedly to rub salt into his wounds, making him unable to speak out his pain.

"you!"

Jiang Qingyuan raised his hand and pointed at Shen Nanzhi. After a long pause, he finally said, "Do you really think that Dad doesn't dare to sever the father-daughter relationship with you?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "If you have the ability, ask him to break it!"

What she was waiting for was Jiang Shiyan to take the initiative to sever the father-daughter relationship with her.

In this way, when Jiang Shiyan was disgraced and convicted, she and the Shen family would not be implicated at all.

But she had angered Jiang Shiyan several times before, but failed to make Jiang Shiyan put aside his pride and make up his mind. Now it was just right for Jiang Qingyuan to add fuel to the fire.

There was disdain and provocation in Shen Nanzhi's eyes, which really angered Jiang Qingyuan completely.

He couldn't even maintain the hypocritical mask he had just put on. He just gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! You wait!"

Shen Nanzhi watched him leisurely as he rushed out the door: "Okay, I'll wait."

After sending Jiang Qingyuan away, Shen Nanzhi turned to look at Zhao: "Take me to Aunt Qin's room. Also, where are all her belongings? Please ask Grandma to send them over as well."

After these words were spoken, Zhao's face became even uglier.

Because what Shen Nanzhi had guessed was correct. With Zhao's ruthless personality, as soon as Qin Suyi died, she wanted to covet all of Qin Suyi's belongings, and just threw Qin Suyi's body into a mass grave with just a roll of straw mat.
