"Prince, are you planning to return with me?" Xiao Mo Xin raised her eyebrows. Although he was beautiful, she was not interested in such a cold and violent person like him.

Yu Chi Ming gave her a bland glance. "Could it be that you don't know where Third Prince's Estate is?"

Xiao Mo Xin was startled, and after a little bit of thought, he recalled that the Third Prince's Estate and the Shang Shu Fu were roughly in the same location, and were only separated by two streets.

When he saw this recognition, Xiao Mo Xin's entire being turned bad.

Could it be that she had been thinking too much just now?

"That's right! Prince! Which Hanged Ghost isn't by your side today? "Could it be that you're afraid of meeting me?" Xiao Mo Xin hugged onto all of them. If they are unhappy, then we will be unhappy together. If one of us is unhappy, it is too lonely.

"…" Yu Chi Ming's thin lips slightly pursed, and an obscure light fell onto Xiao Mo Xin's body.

Xiao Mo Xin smirked, and in that moment, he had the feeling that he had pulled one over her.

The depressed mood instantly turned clear, and he hummed a small tune before walking away …

"Prince! There's still half a month before your wedding with the Great Miss of the Xiao family. What do you think you need to buy in advance? " butler Uncle Lee braced himself and asked.

Although he had asked the same question a fifth time, and he still had to ask it many times in the future, as the butler, he had no choice but to endure the pressure and ask.

Who told his family's master to have such an ill-fated fate?

Uncle Lee's breathing stagnated. "But about your marriage with the Xiao family's Great Miss …"

"Retreat!"

"Later on, This King will discuss this matter with royal father!" Once he finished, Yu Chi Ming took out a piece of paper, held up the brush, and three words were written on it — marriage annulment.

After the words had dried, he folded it and gave it to Uncle Lee.

Uncle Lee trembled as he received the letter. He thought to himself, if Emperor knew that Prince was going to break the engagement privately, would he be furious?

"Send the marriage annulment certificate to the Shang Shu Fu, just say it was This King's intention!"

"Yes sir!" Uncle Lee replied respectfully and slowly left the study room.

After he left, Yu Chi Ming did not have the mood to continue reading. She stood up and walked out.

"Miss! Why did you sleep so hard last night? Your servant called out to you for a while, but you didn't reply. Your servant thought something had happened to you? " Rui Er passed the washed grapes to Xiao Mo Xin: "If I didn't see Xiao Hei jump out from the room, I would have knocked the door open to take a look!"

"I was sleeping better recently, so I didn't hear anything!" Xiao Mo Xin's face did not redden at all, after that, he casually asked: "You have something to talk to me about?"

"This servant wants to ask if the wound on your back still hurts." Do you need more medicine? "

"It's almost done, there's nothing serious going on!" Xiao Mo Xin threw a grape into his mouth, chewed on it, and said: "In the future, as long as there's something going on after dark, do not disturb me!"

"Why?"

"Sleep!"

"…" Rui Er.

This reason, who else could it be?

After not hearing a response for a long time, Xiao Mo Xin raised his eyebrows. "Remember?"

"What if the master and his wife are looking for you?" Rui Er asked carefully. She felt that there were some things that needed to be clarified first.

"Even if the sky is falling, the people come and block them!" Xiao Mo Xin replied without hesitation.

Once the matter of her sneaking out of the manor was exposed, her good days would likely come to an end.

That was why she had to think of a way to earn more money. This was also so that one day, when the Shang Shu Fu could no longer stay, she would find another way out.

"Your servant has remembered it!"

"En!" Xiao Mo Xin was very satisfied with her obedient behavior, and threw another grape into her mouth. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a ghost floating in from far away, her cherry lips slightly opened: "Rui Er! "I'm a little hungry, go to the kitchen and serve me a plate of pastries!"

"Yes sir!" Rui Er replied, she walked forward and headed towards the kitchen.

After she left, Xiao Mo Xin's eyes lit up, and looked straight ahead.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone wants to frame you …"

Just after midnight, Xiao Mo Xin appeared on the small bridge.

Compared to last night's silence, the small bridge at this time was much more lively.

From a distance, there were at least twenty people.

"They said that there were a total of six people who fell into the river that year, but only five corpses were retrieved. One of them was salvaged for three days and three nights, but was still not recovered!" Yu Chi Ming said in a heavy voice.

Xiao Mo Xin frowned slightly, "I am very sure, there were a total of seven people who fell into the river back then!"

"This King sent people to find out more news. Back then, there were only six pairs of parents who came here to fish!" Yu Chi Ming did not doubt her words, and only stated the results of her investigations in a low voice.

"Could it be that this ghost is a fatherless orphan?" Xiao Mo Xin muttered. Other than that, she really could not think of another possibility.

This was because the child did not have any resentment, so he was definitely not abandoned or killed by others.

"Don't you have the right to talk to them and ask them directly?"

"They are only five or six years old. What they can remember is limited!" If he could get everything out, there would be no need to go through so much trouble now. Where are the parents? "

Yu Chi Ming hoped that by the side of the bridge, there were six middle-aged couples with reddened eyes.

Xiao Mo Xin took a step forward and directly walked over: "Back in your village, was it sure that there were only six children missing?"

Everyone nodded.

Xiao Mo Xin thought for a moment, then spoke again: "Then does your village have orphans that are the same age as your children?"

"No!"

"Think about it carefully!" Her intuition told her that the extra child definitely knew the other child.

"We only have a little more than a hundred people in our village. If we don't have children, then we really don't know!" A tall and thin man spoke with a faint wounded voice. It was obvious that he was still unable to completely let go of the child he had accidentally lost.

The woman beside him frowned and said with uncertainty, "We don't have any in our village, but next door to Hu Jia Village is an orphan!"

When she said this, the others looked at each other in dismay.

He wondered, could the seventh person who fell into the water back then be that orphan without any relatives?

Xiao Mo Xin immediately grasped the main point and asked promptly: "Ever since your child fell into the water that year, have you seen that orphan before?"

"No!" Everyone thought for a moment and shook their heads.

"That orphan, get to know your child!" Not a question, but an affirmation.

Everyone nodded. "Sometimes that orphan would come to our village to beg for food, so the children know him. There's nothing strange about that!"
