Behind him, Liuyi picked up the flexible sword from the ground and followed along. Sigh, looking at the Master's depressed expression, it really makes one's heart ache.

In the capital, Shui Qingyan and Chu Chen had always been the headlines today.

At the teahouse.

"Did you hear? Prince Chu and Fourth Miss Shui ran away!"

"I heard, I heard, and I even heard that the Second Prince came back angry."

"That's right, that's right. Prince Chu Palace and Shui’s Marion are both looking for the two of them."

"I also heard that Fourth Miss Shui had already fallen in love with the son of the Prince Chu in the past."

"What?" Could it be that Fourth Miss Shui has already lost her innocence! "

"That's right, Miss Shui Si has never come home before, who knows if she has a date with her lover."

"Isn't Prince Chu sick? Has he recovered?"

"How could that be? The Prince Chu is so ill, he has to find a mother for his child before he dies. Isn't he choosing the most beautiful young miss out on?"

"Oh god, how could this be? It's too pitiful for a Second Prince to have someone like him."

Jiaoli, who was passing by, coincidentally heard these words and immediately opened her eyes wide: "Prince Chu is about to die!"

Jiaoli immediately flew back to her Ning’s Mansion.

At this time, Ning Xuewei was practicing her calligraphy. She was very upright, her gaze was calm and her writing powerful.

"Miss." The moment Jiaoli entered the door, she tried her best to suppress her fast heartbeat.

Ning Xuewei continued to practice, and gave a light "En" in her throat.

"I heard that the Fourth Miss was already seeing someone in the past, and the Prince Chu is almost at its end. She has to find a mother for her child." Jiaoli told her everything she knew.

Even though Ning Xuewei had mentally prepared herself for this, she had still written the wrong word. The good word "ten" had become "earth".

Putting down the brush, Ning Xuewei glanced at Jiaoli: "Go and stand over there for a while."

Jiaoli moaned in her heart, causing the young miss to frown again. She walked to the corner of the wall and stood facing the wall.

Ning Xuewei glanced at Jiaoli, then looked outside the window. The March sky, had already blossomed with many flowers.

Thinking back to what Jiaoli had just said, Ning Xuewei's calm eyes slightly narrowed. After a moment, as if she thought of something, her lips curled up into a faint smile. She wanted to find a time to hold a flower feast.

Shui’s Marion.

This was already the seventh day since Shui Qingyan did not return home.

Shui Yiyuan meditated in the study room with his eyes closed. He had already ordered no one to disturb him.

"Master, the two old madams sent something over to you." Ah Yuan said from outside the door.

"Send them in." Shui Yiyuan opened his eyes.

Ah Yuan brought the things in.

"Open." Shui Yiyuan had already guessed it.

Ah Yuan opened the drawing, and there was indeed a woman's portrait, so that meant, Liu Family had agreed to it?

Thinking about that, Shui Yiyuan's expression darkened, he waved his hand: "Put them aside."

Ah Yuan rolled up the painting again, put it aside and left.

After a while, the Ah Yuan came back, and entered the house without knocking.

Shui Yiyuan raised his brows and looked at Ah Yuan: "What's wrong?" Normally, if Ah Yuan entered the room without knocking, then something would happen over there.

"There's news from the other side, asking you to think of a way to solve the Fourth Miss' problem." Ah Yuan said.

Shui Yiyuan raised his eyebrows, "You don't have a specific meaning?"

Ah Yuan shook his head.

When Shui Yiyuan heard this, his lips curled into a cold smile: "I understand."

Ah Yuan went out again.

Shui Yiyuan closed his eyes once again. Solve the problem? He did not intend to solve this problem. However, he had no choice but to settle this matter.

These few people did not have any connections, the signs of death were unexpected, and there was no way to find out, so Zhang Jing, who was in charge of the capital city, decided to just ignore the matter.

The smarter ones would find a public spot in these people, and they'd be involved in spreading rumors for a while.

As soon as this matter was made public, some people already knew.

Ning’s Mansion.

Ning Xuewei held onto the chopsticks on her head as she ate. She could not eat another grain of rice, even though the food on the table was her favorite.

"Pay more silver and let them keep their mouths shut. From now on, no one is allowed to gossip about Ning’s Mansion." Ning Xuewei put down her chopsticks, her face expressionless. She knew that he was trying to set an example!

Jiaoli nodded: "Yes." Although the Miss wasn't angry, she could feel an unusual pressure coming from her body.

Shui’s Marion.

Qing'an Yard.

Madam Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Bai Lu, and asked: "Are you sure it's those two from our Shui’s Marion?"

Bai Lu's face turned pale. She had personally seen the corpses of the other two. She immediately nodded, "It's them."

"Senior Servant Rong, take the money. You must seal your mouth or die!" Madam Hu clenched her fists tightly. Who was it that was protecting Shui Qingyan!

Senior Servant Rong accepted the order and immediately understood what she should do. She nodded her head: "Aunt, don't worry."

"Yes." The Madam Hu nodded.

Shui Yiyuan's study.

Shui Yiyuan frowned as he looked at the Ah Yuan in front of him. He really wanted to know who the person who helped Shui Qingyan in the dark was.

"Could it be the one manipulating them from the palace?" As soon as Shui Yiyuan said that, he rejected his idea.

"Yes." The Ah Yuan nodded.

Shui Yiyuan thought in his heart: This person's methods aren't as good as those in the palace, and it's also impossible for the people in the palace to know that he reared so many shadows, so who could it be?

"Aside from us, there are also sixteen other people who have met with mishaps." Ah Yuan's eyes were solemn.

Hearing this, Shui Yiyuan was slightly shocked in his heart, and then he narrowed his eyes. The mysterious person who helped Shui Qingyan was warning them.

That's right, the two shadows that had died were sent by him to add fuel to the rumors, including the matter of the Second Prince returning to the capital.

Shui Yiyuan thought for a while, then slowly opened his mouth: "Transfer location."

" "Yes." Ah Yuan nodded, he also had the same intentions.

"Master, should we send a shadow to look for Fourth Miss?" Ah Yuan asked tentatively.

"Hmph." Shui Yiyuan gave a cold snort, "The ones who are looking for her are probably all flocking over and over again, and they definitely cannot reveal their shadows. In these few days, everyone has been hiding their identities."

"Yes," Ah Yuan replied and did not speak again.

After a while, footsteps came from outside. Shui Yiyuan glanced at Ah Yuan and saw that he was about to leave.

Fourth Aunt walked over.

"Fourth Aunt." Ah Yuan bowed.

The Madam Bai nodded and entered the room. Shui Yiyuan was currently lying on the reclining chair.

"Why are you here?" Shui Yiyuan looked at Madam Bai in shock.

Madam Bai never took the initiative to look for him. Even if he took the initiative to go to Yifeng Courtyard, Madam Bai basically did not give him any face.

Madam Bai's eyes were red as they darkened. She then walked forward. "Master, this humble concubine has something to tell master."

Shui Yiyuan squinted at Madam Bai's eyes. Those eyes resembled a person, and the person at the bottom of his heart: "What is it."

Madam Bai casually knelt down and told her about Shui Qingsu.

When Shui Yiyuan heard this, he frowned. This matter had already been spread everywhere, and there was no way to hide it from others. Even if Shui Qingsu did not say anything, the Assistant Minister who had nothing better to do would definitely dig something out.

"Kids aren't sensible. Go and prepare some food for Third Miss. Just punish her a little bit is fine." Shui Yiyuan waved his hand.

Madam Bai did not expect that Shui Yiyuan would forgive Shui Qingsu so easily. He was overjoyed, and a smile flashed past his eyes: "Alright."

Shui Yiyuan looked at Madam Bai's eyes, and his mind went blank for a moment, but Madam Bai did not give him a chance to think carefully, bowed, and walked towards the kitchen.

Amongst the three of them, the one who was least favored was Madam Bai, and the one who was most favored was Madam Bai.

At night, Shui Yiyuan stayed in the study room.

During dinner time, Shui Yiyuan did not plan to go out to eat.

"Master." Madam Hu came in with dinner in hand.

After entering, Madam Hu's eyes turned red, she placed dinner on the table: "Has the old master thought about the Shui’s Marion of hundreds of times?"

Hearing Madam Hu's somewhat stubborn words, Shui Yiyuan laughed and said, "I smell the taste of porridge."

Madam Hu immediately brought the porridge over when she heard this. "Old master should eat more." She truly hoped that Shui Yiyuan could eat something, if not a good person would be ruined.

It was the first time Shui Yiyuan had eaten a bowl of porridge in the past five to six days.

Madam Hu looked at Shui Yiyuan with reddened eyes. She vaguely knew that Shui Yiyuan was unable to eat because of Shui Qingyan, and immediately said: "Master, it's all my fault."

"How could it be your fault?" Shui Yiyuan laughed and sighed, "I was too arrogant for her."

"Fourth Miss is still young." Madam Hu shook her head.

"It's been hard on you at home." Shui Yiyuan shook Madam Hu's hand and then pulled him into her embrace.

Shui Yiyuan lay on the reclining chair with Madam Hu in his arms and closed his eyes. He suddenly remembered a time like this where he was sitting here with the woman he had loved with all his heart.

"Ninghua." As he thought about it, Shui Yiyuan had already blurted out the name that was buried at the bottom of his heart.

Madam Hu's body suddenly froze, but Shui Yiyuan was still immersed in his memories, and his expression slowly became sinister. He also slowly used all his strength to hold Madam Hu's hand.

Madam Hu, who had been strangled painfully by Shui Yiyuan, could not help but speak. "Master, you're hurting me too much."

Shui Yiyuan suddenly woke up from his stupor, and when he opened his eyes, what appeared in front of him was no longer the blue study room, but instead, the brown study room now.
