While waiting, Su Yue took out honey, mulberries and cherries from the space and prepared to put them on the ice jelly later. That way, it would not only look good but also taste better.

After a while, Su Yue signaled Rendong to bring back the refrigerated ice jelly. At this time, the ice jelly exuded a hint of coolness, making people salivate at the sight of it.

Su Yue then garnished the ice jelly with mulberries, cherries and honey, and a large bowl of delicious ice jelly was ready.

"Mammy, honeysuckle, come and try it." Su Yue said.

Honeysuckle couldn't wait to scoop three bowls, and the master and servant took the spoon and tasted it. Suddenly, the cool taste and sweet taste spread in the mouth.

"Girl, this ice jelly is so delicious!" Honeysuckle praised it highly.

Madam Yang also nodded and praised: "It is indeed delicious. Having a bowl of ice jelly on such a hot summer day is indeed much more comfortable."

After the master and his two servants finished eating, Su Yue put the remaining ice jelly into the space. There was only one ice jelly fruit plant in total and the yield was so small, so she naturally would not be generous enough to share it with other people in the manor.

At the same time, the leader of the Su family's guards came to Xiaohe Village at full speed with a team of guards.

As soon as they entered Xiaohe Village, they saw that every household had their doors closed. They were not surprised, after all, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, so it was normal for everyone to stay at home.

They only knew that Jindong was from Xiaohe Village, but they didn't know which house she lived in.

So the leader of the guards winked at a subordinate next to him, and the subordinate immediately dismounted from his horse and went to a house and knocked on the door.

After knocking twice at first, no one responded. The guard looked at the leader of the guards and knocked again.

This time the guard used a little too much force, and an impatient voice of a woman was heard inside.

"Come, come, who is it? Why are you knocking on the door in broad daylight? I just fell asleep and I was woken up again."

The door creaked open and a woman with an angry face appeared at the door.

The guard was slightly startled, then he saluted and said, "Sister-in-law, we are the guards of the Su family, and we are here to look for a girl named Ren Dong. Do you know where she lives?"

The woman looked at them with a frown and said unhappily, "Honeysuckle? I don't know her. You should go ask somewhere else." After that, she was about to close the door.

The guard quickly reached out to stop her, and said in a more respectful tone: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, that honeysuckle girl came to Xiaohe Village with my daughter, and there was a nanny with her.

Please help me think about whether I have seen these three people."

The woman thought about it and still shook her head: "I haven't seen it, and there is no family with the surname Ren in our Xiaohe Village."

The guard explained, "Sister-in-law, that girl's surname is not Ren but Liu. As for her original name, we don't know it either. We only know that her home is here."

The woman waved her hands impatiently and said, "No, no, you can go ask someone else." Then she slammed the door shut without caring about the guard's expression.

"Mother of the child, who is that?" the man of the house asked with a yawn.

The woman explained dissatisfiedly, "Oh! A group of people came, saying that they were the guards of the Su family looking for someone called Honeysuckle and the girl, and also someone called Mammy. How could there be such people in our village? It's really unbearable. I finally had a good dream and it was interrupted by them."

The man suddenly realized something when he heard this. Today he saw that the owner of the farm was a girl who was accompanied by Liu Shan's daughter Liu Damei and a middle-aged woman. These conditions were met.

Could it be that Liu Damei was the person they were looking for? Oh, forget it, who cares who they are looking for? It’s none of my business anyway, so I might as well hurry up and go to bed instead of wasting time, as I still have to work in the evening.

On the other side, the helpless guards had to return to the guard leader to report.

The guard leader frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Keep looking, ask each family one by one, and you must find the girl."

So the guards started knocking on doors and asking questions from house to house.

The leader of the guards sighed helplessly in his heart. The Su family seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit recently, with one crisis after another.

Especially the eldest girl, who used to be a timid person, but recently she has become so courageous as if she had been borrowed from God. Not only did she give her relatives strong drugs, she also stole all the valuable things in the house.

What’s even more terrible is that these things were done under their noses. The angry old lady kept scolding these guards as good-for-nothings.

What's worse is that today, people from Duke Li's mansion heard that the eldest daughter was not at home, so they came to investigate, but they were evaded by the old lady and the first lady in some unknown way.

In the end, the master directly gave them a task to make up for their crimes and said that they must find the eldest girl by the end of the month, otherwise they would be asked to die to atone for their sins.

The guards continued to knock on the door. The hot weather made them sweat profusely, but their anxiety made them ignore the discomfort.

After asking two or three more households, someone finally said that they had seen Rendong and Su Yue. The guards were so happy to hear that that they immediately brought the old man to the leader of the guards.

The leader of the guards saw the old man and hurried forward to ask, "Old man, are you sure you have seen the person we are looking for?"

The old man nodded and said, "I have indeed seen her. The girl lives with her maid and a nanny in a village three or four miles north of the village."

Just when the old man was about to say that the girl was still building a strange house on the flat land halfway up the mountain, he saw Song Mingtao and Liu Qiang driving a fully loaded ox cart passing by the village entrance.

The old man pointed at Song Mingqiang and said, "Young man, the man in blue is the owner of the manor, and the other one is my eldest sister's second uncle. As for whether he is the person you are looking for, you can ask them."

After the old man finished speaking, he extended his dark, calloused hand to the guard leader, and even shook it, and said with a chuckle: "Just now this young man said that if I tell you, you can give me one or two taels of silver."

The guard beside him said awkwardly: "Boss, um, I don't have any silver on me."

The leader of the guards rolled his eyes at the guard, then took out a tael of silver from his pocket and put it in the old man's hand. The old man smiled with satisfaction and turned away.

The guard leader looked at the guard and said coldly, "You borrowed it. Remember to pay it back when your salary is paid next month. Otherwise, I will beat you up every time I see you."

After saying that, he jumped on his horse and ran towards the ox cart of Song Mingtao and Liu Qiang.

When Song Mingtao and Liu Qiang saw a group of aggressive guards blocking their way, they were shocked and hurriedly stopped the ox cart.

"Who are you? What's the matter?" Song Mingtao asked vigilantly.

The leader of the guards bowed and said, "We are the guards of the Su family. We are here to look for my eldest daughter, her maidservant, and her nanny. After asking around just now, the villagers said that they are at your farm. Is this true?"
