"This is just our guess. Since we can't find any clues or evidence from Liang Yuqi, we might as well start with Liang Shibai." Bing'er watched as Zhining and Sihan told their thoughts. In any case, they had not found any valuable clues during this period of time, so she might as well change her perspective and start from Liang Shibai's point of view. Perhaps, they might be able to find some clues.
"Yeah, why didn't we think of that!" Zhining stood up from her stool, a little excited. "I'll go to the Liang Household right now and ask Liang Shibai for some information."
"But you haven't eaten?" Bing'er stood up from the stool and looked at ZhiNing worriedly. She hadn't eaten a good meal these days.
"Don't worry, we've been following behind Liang Yuqi for the past few days. Aside from going to the restaurant, we've also been visiting brothels. Anyway, we've had a good meal and a good drink." Zhi Ning answered Bing'er while holding the sword that hung on the wall in her hand.
"After watching ZhiNing leave the room, he turned around and sat on a stool, poured himself a cup of cold tea and drank it all in one gulp. Today, when she was following Liang Yuqi's little follower, she was truly exhausted. Unfortunately, she couldn't find any clues about her." "If it wasn't for the fact that I'm afraid of alerting the enemy, I really want to beat that little lackey of mine and stroll around randomly all day without doing anything. I also won't follow behind Liang Yuqi, causing the three of us to have to follow separately." Bing-Er complained.
"What did you say?" That little lackey was wandering around everywhere? " Sihan looked up at Bing'er and asked.
"Hmm, my little follower has been wandering around as if he was looking for someone these days." Bing-Er answered without thinking. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and a flash of light appeared in her pretty eyes. She stared straight at Sihan. "Tell me, could it be you who's the follower looking around?"
"Very good." Sihan looked back at Bing'er.
Bing-Er smirked. "I want to know if you are the one my follower is looking for. One try and I will know."
On the noisy street, Liang Yuqi's little follower seemed to be wandering around unintentionally, but his eyes never stopped looking around. Especially when he saw a young and beautiful woman, he would intentionally look around a few times, but every time, he would return disappointed. Seeing that the number of people on the street was gradually decreasing, Xiao Budian could not help but sigh to himself as he lowered his head and walked listlessly towards the Liang Household.
Bing-Er saw that the time was right, so she gestured to Sihan. Sihan understood immediately. She was wearing a woman's outfit, and came out of the dark with a veil over her face, purposely walking in front of her follower.
The little lackey was originally walking dispiritedly and unconsciously lifted his head to look around. When he saw Sihan's figure, his eyes immediately lit up, and without even thinking, he started chasing after her. "Miss?" "Miss!"
When Sihan saw her follower chasing after her, she couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile. She walked unhurriedly to an inn and entered a pre-arranged room to change into a man's outfit and dress up as she pleased. No one could tell that she was the Liang Family's eldest miss, Liang Sihan.
Sihan swaggered out of the room and saw her little follower standing at the entrance of the inn as he glared at the door. As she passed by her lackey, a proud smile appeared on her face.
On the other side, Zhining had been secretly following by Liang Shibai's side, hoping to find some clues. However, she discovered that Liang Shibai was only sighing all day long. He had a worried look on his face.
Seeing that staying by Liang Shibai's side would not lead to anything, Zhining decided to leave the Liang Manor. However, just as Zhining was about to leave, Liang Yuqi hurried over to the study to see Liang Shibai.
When Liang Shibai saw Liang Yuqi enter the study, he hurriedly stood up from his chair and walked in front of her. He looked at her expectantly. "How was it? Did you find Sihan?"
Liang Yuqi lowered her head guiltily with a sad expression on her face. "Dad, I'm sorry. I still haven't found Sihan."
"How can this be? Ah? The letter clearly said that as long as I take out a thousand taels of silver, they will let Sihan off! But I've already given them the silver. Why? Why did they still not let Sihan go? " Liang Shibai asked Liang Yuqi with an excited expression.
"I don't know either, dad, don't be impatient. I'll send people to search in the dark. Perhaps they've already released Sihan, but Sihan still hasn't found her way home." Liang Yuqi consoled Liang Shibai.
"I won't wait any longer. I'll report it to the officials tomorrow." Liang Shibai waved Liang Yuqi away and said angrily with his hands behind his back.
He took a step forward without even thinking and grabbed Liang Shibai's arm. "Dad, dad, we can't report it yet, but once we report it, the entire capital will know that Sihan has been kidnapped. This will affect Sihan's reputation, and when the time comes, who else from the royal clan will marry her?!" Father, you have to think about Sihan's reputation! "
Liang Yuqi's words caused Liang Shibai's excited expression to somewhat calm down. He sighed deeply as his eyes were filled with pain.
Seeing that Liang Shibai's mood had calmed down, Liang Yuqi immediately let out a sigh of relief. A faint, complacent smile even appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that what Liang Shibai cared about the most was still Liang Sihan's reputation.
However, Liang Shibai's next words caused the smile on his face to freeze.
"Reputation is important, but Sihan's life is more important. Tomorrow, I'll report it to the yamen to find out who kidnapped Sihan from the Liang Manor." Liang Shibai said with a serious expression.
Liang Yuqi was stunned for a moment before she hurried forward, wanting to dissuade Liang Shibai. "Father."
"Don't try to persuade me anymore, I've already decided to report to the government tomorrow." Liang Shibai interrupted her without the slightest hesitation.
Liang Shibai's firm words instantly caused Liang Yuqi's expression to turn extremely ugly. He stood blankly on the spot and looked at Liang Shibai's back for a long time before he slowly said, "Alright, we'll do as Father says. Tomorrow, your son will accompany you to report to an official." Finished speaking, Liang Yuqi gave a deep look at Liang Shibai's back, then left the study.
After Liang Yuqi left the study, Liang Shibai turned around and let out a deep sigh.
ZhiNing squatted on the eaves and watched everything that happened. She pondered for a moment, then quietly went down from the eaves and followed behind Liang Yuqi.
Liang Yuqi walked out of the study and into the garden. Facing the deep night sky, she stood in the pavilion and took a deep breath before exhaling. Afterwards, he squatted down and picked up a small stone, throwing it fiercely into the pond to vent the displeasure in his heart.
