"He is your family member and he is here to look for you, right?" Shen Mengyao asked.

"I guess so." Luo Chuan sighed, "I have been wandering around for more than ten years. I have let go of the past. I didn't expect that there are still family members alive."

"Then why don't you go back with him?" Shen Mengyao asked.

Luo Chuan answered without hesitation: "I feel like I have a new life, and I am somewhat reluctant to let go of everything in front of me."

"We are important, but are our families not important?" Shen Mengyao smiled and said, "You must have been very young when you got separated from your family."

"Yes, I was only five or six years old at that time." Luo Chuan seemed to recall something, lowered his head again, and shook his head: "The past is unbearable to look back on, it's also good to cherish the present."

"But your family has been looking for you for so long, they must want to see you very much." Shen Mengyao sighed: "I know you are of an extraordinary status, and I don't want to ask you to the end. You should consider everything yourself and make a decision."

Luo Chuan nodded, raised his eyes and said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess."

He was reluctant to leave everything here, and if he could take Shen Mengyao away, it would be the best option, but he knew in his heart that Shen Mengyao would never leave with him.

But when I was five or six years old, everything that happened is still vivid in my mind.

He has been wandering around the world for so many years, always looking for opportunities. Now that an old friend comes to find him, it is a good opportunity for him.

Shen Mengyao saw that he was deep in thought and stopped bothering him: "Then you should think about it carefully. If you want to see him, you don't have to be sneaky."

After saying this, she stood up and left.

Luo Chuan opened his mouth, but in the end, no word came out.

After coming out, Queyue breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess, I heard that you bought him from the slave market. Why don't I investigate his identity and seek peace of mind."

"No need. If he wanted to murder me, he would have had plenty of opportunities when I was looking for medical treatment for the prince, but he didn't. Everyone has secrets. There is no need to get to the bottom of it." Shen Mengyao rejected her kindness.

Queyue did not insist: "Well, you have been tired all day, and the princess drank a lot of wine, so take a rest first."

Well, I've caught the right trick, and now that I've gotten the words out, the worry in my heart is finally over.

She returned to her own courtyard and prepared to rest. The red candles were burning brightly, so she decided not to join in the fun over there.

But unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the yard, I suddenly heard some subtle noises, like the sound of jewelry colliding.

Queyue's ears were much more sensitive than hers. She raised her hand and said, "Princess, there's a thief!"

Shen Mengyao's expression froze when she heard this. She quickly looked around, but found nothing obviously unusual.

The night was dark. She waved her hand gently, signaling Queyue to stay alert, and lowered her voice and said, "Don't alarm others. Let's go over quietly and take a look."

The two of them walked one in front and one behind, like two light shadows, shuttling between the moonlight and the shadows, approaching the direction where the sound came from.

As the distance shortened, the subtle sound became clearer and clearer, and it really was like the sound of someone rummaging through something.

Queyue was very brave and rushed in directly, shouting, "Who are you, thief, who dares to trespass into the princess's mansion?"

The figure inside was obviously startled, and the things in his hands fell to the ground, and a jade bracelet broke into two pieces.

She turned around and tried to escape but was pinned to the ground by Queyue, unable to move.

Shen Mengyao blew out the fire stick and lit the candle in the room. She took a closer look and was no longer surprised when she saw her face clearly.

"Grandma Yu, it's you."

The person who was pinned to the ground was none other than the elderly Jade Lady.

He had just taken a leave of absence two days ago, and before he had even been home for two days, he came back in a hurry. She felt something was wrong at the time, but she didn't point it out.

There is a banquet for guests in the front hall today and everyone is gathered here. If she really has a problem, she will definitely choose to take action at this time.

as predicted!

The jade lady rolled her eyes and began to play the victim: "Princess, please forgive me. I am too old to endure the pain of prison. I just want to take some of the jewelry that the princess doesn't want, so that I can sell it and use the money to treat my youngest son's illness."

"Really?" Shen Mengyao sneered, but she didn't believe it at all: "You have sneaked into my bedroom before and touched my jewelry. If you really needed money, you would have taken it at that time. Why would you sneak in so late at night?"

Grandma Yu hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time.

"Tell the truth, or I'll hand you over to the government for everyone to see." Queyue snorted coldly and twisted his hands behind his back.

Yu Po's face was distorted with pain.

"I, I really just want some money."

"Really? You didn't collude with anyone?" Shen Mengyao asked coldly.

"How do you know?" Yu Po widened her eyes in astonishment. After she finished speaking, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.

Shen Mengyao sneered. She was not completely sure, but she did not have anything secret on her except for the jade pendant given to her by the eldest prince.

She had guessed last time, maybe the eldest prince wanted this jade pendant, so he found someone in the palace as an insider?

At first she suspected that Luochuan and that person were colluding with each other, but after thinking about it, it was impossible.

At this time, Yu Po appeared in his sight again. Her whereabouts were strange, so it must be her.

"Tell the truth." Queyue hit her hard and Yu Po screamed in pain.

"Although I don't like corporal punishment of my servants, if you don't tell me, you will bear the consequences yourself." Shen Mengyao's voice was cold, without any emotion.

Grandma Yu trembled all over. The pain that was gnawing at her bones had not yet subsided. She did not dare to hide anything and had to tell the truth.

"A mysterious man gave me thirty taels of silver and told me to find a jade pendant near the princess. If I found it and returned it to him, I could get another twenty taels."

As expected, he came here just for the jade pendant!

Shen Mengyao raised her eyebrows and sneered: "He really is not giving up. When will that person come to see you again?"

The jade lady stammered in response, "Tomorrow, I've told someone that there will be a wedding in the mansion today, which is a great opportunity. I will definitely give the jade pendant to him tomorrow."

"Okay, as long as you help me catch this guy, my past and future will be wiped out." Shen Mengyao narrowed her eyes and said coldly.

Grandma Yu nodded hurriedly: "Everything is up to the princess."

On the second day, after a night of celebration, the whole house was still filled with joy.

Fang's parents planned to return home tomorrow, so they were wandering around the house today.

"This looks like the main courtyard, why not hold the wedding here?"

The two walked in while talking. When Xiao Qi saw them, he immediately pulled them back and said, "Don't go in."

But she was a thin woman, how could she hold back two farmers? After they entered the main hall, they saw the vases placed there.

"This looks like a good thing. Why don't you put it in your wedding room?"

Xiao Qi didn't know how to explain: "Dad and Mom, this house doesn't belong to Luochuan, don't mess around."
