C88

At this time, within Shui Qingyan's body, the mental energy within her Divine Sea was so thin that it was pitiful.

After a while, Ping Hua and Wuhua returned. When Yu Niang entered, he found Shui Qingyan sitting cross-legged on her bed cultivating, she did not dare disturb him and prepared to push him out.

At this moment, Shui Qingyan breathed out a mouthful of turbid air and then opened her eyes.

The Yu Niang saw that Shui Qingyan had opened her eyes, and her footsteps that had pushed him out had returned: "Miss, Ping Hua and Wuhua are back."

Shui Qingyan nodded and looked in the direction of the Yu Niang: "Let the two of them grind the medicine in accordance to the ratio I mentioned earlier."

Yu Niang nodded: "Okay."

After a while, Yu Niang came in with some toiletries.

After washing up, Shui Qingyan looked at the table full of breakfast. She looked at Yu Niang in fear: "Why are there so many?"

The Yu Niang looked at Shui Qingyan with a pained expression: "Miss, this is a black fish, it's a suitable injury. This is a Snow Toad used to nourish the young miss's body.

The corner of Shui Qingyan's mouth twitched.

After finishing her breakfast, Shui Qingyan went to the Peace Academy and personally checked Shui Qingcheng's pulse.

Guest Lodge.

Green Plum was lurking in the shadows, keeping an eye on the situation of the inn.

Early in the morning, Zhu Mingyi dressed like a merchant and went out neatly.

Qing Mei followed closely behind Zhu Mingyi.

At the Bian Residence.

Qing Mei frowned as she watched Zhu Mingyi swagger in. Could it be that the Second Aunt was going to meet him here?

"Uncle is here!" The overseers of the Bian Residence immediately went up to him.

Zhu Mingyi saw the butler approaching and immediately asked: "Where's elder sister?"

"Madam's health hasn't been very good these two days, and the shop is busy, so Master can take care of it." The butler laughed.

"I passed by the capital to visit my sister. You don't need to send me off. I'll go by myself." Zhu Mingyi said as he left the residence.

"Alright, Uncle, take care." The butler smiled warmly.

Forever Workshop.

Qingmei followed Zhu Mingyi into the rear courtyard of the Forever Workshop.

Zhu Mingyi entered from the back door and was immediately brought to Mrs. Bian's courtyard by the servant.

Qing Mei followed Zhu Mingyi all the way to the back of Mrs. Bian's room.

"Elder sister." Zhu Mingyi shouted as he entered the door.

"Cough, cough, cough." Responding to Zhu Mingyi was a continuous stream of cough sounds.

Zhu Mingyi entered the house and saw that the Mrs. Bian was as thin as a twig, he was even worse than the last time they met. He said worriedly: "Elder sister, why are you still like this with your body, didn't you ask for a doctor?"

Qing Mei, who was at the back of the house, poked a hole in the window just in time to see Zhu Mingyi's face.

"I understand." Mrs. Bian held Zhu Mingyi's hand with his skinny hands.

"Elder sister, I'm here." Zhu Mingyi's eyes turned slightly red.

"Do your business well." Mrs. Bian tried his best to open his eyes, but only a crack could be seen.

"Yes." Zhu Mingyi nodded his head: "I wish to do business properly."

"Mingyi, my wife, did you bring my wife?" The Mrs. Bian said lifelessly.

A single tear fell from Zhu Mingyi's eyes, "Elder sister, I'll definitely bring it next time."

Mrs. Bian shook his head: "I can't, I can't."

"I won't, I won't, I will get the best doctor for big sister."

Mrs. Bian still shook his head. "I want to see my wife."

"Alright, alright. I'll get someone to bring my sister-in-law over right away." When Zhu Mingyi saw that Mrs. Bian's time was running out, he couldn't help but cry.

Upon hearing that Zhu Mingyi had promised to bring his wife over for her to see, Mrs. Bian immediately laughed.

"Who's there!" The servant girl's voice came from the back of the house.

Zhu Mingyi suddenly raised his head, and coincidentally met eyes with Qingmei who did not have the time to leave.

"Who is it!" Zhu Mingyi suddenly stood up and quickly jumped out of the window to give chase.

Qing Mei left quickly.

Zhu Mingyi only saw a black shadow.

"Crap, I got targeted." Zhu Mingyi clenched his fists, and thought.

After returning to his room, Zhu Mingyi held Mrs. Bian's hand: "Big sister, I'll go get a doctor for you. Wait for me to come back, I'll come see you tonight."

Mrs. Bian shook his head. "There's no need to ask for a doctor.

Zhu Mingyi looked at his sister with red eyes, but did not dare to stay any longer. So, touching his tears, he hardened his heart and left the Forever Workshop.

Guest Lodge.

Zhu Mingyi hurriedly returned to the Guest Lodge, but he did not see any of his brothers.

Zhu Mingyi's hands and feet suddenly became cold.

Suddenly, Zhu Mingyi felt something cold on his back, he turned around, and a sword appeared on his neck.

"It's you!" Zhu Mingyi looked at Liuyi with wide eyes.

Shui’s Marion.

Shui Qingyan was studying the Strong Cartilage Powder on her hands.

"Miss." Green Plum entered the house.

"Well?" Shui Qingyan asked while concocting the medicine.

Qingmei glanced at Wuhua and Ping Hua who were in the room and hesitated for a moment.

"Feel free to speak." Shui Qingyan laughed.

Wuhua's expression became happy as she pursed her lips. The expressions of the two were caught in Yu Niang's eyes.

When Qingmei saw Shui Qingyan nod her head, she immediately said: "I followed Zhu Mingyi to the Bian Residence in the morning. Zhu Mingyi called Mrs. Bian older sister."

"Bian Mansion?" Shui Qingyan was suspicious.

"It's a Chief Manager of the Shui Family." Qing Mei said, "He's in charge of the cloth-shops on the east side of the Shui family."

"Yes." Shui Qingyan nodded.

"Mrs. Bian should be sick for a long time, there's not much time left. When Zhu Mingyi saw Mrs. Bian, he could not help but cry." Qing Mei recounted what she knew.

"Second Aunt also went out this morning. Second Aunt didn't go meet with Zhu Mingyi?" Shui Qingyan was suspicious.

"When I was discovered, I hurriedly left the Forever Workshop. Only then did I see Second Aunt enter." Qing Mei said.

Shui Qingyan smiled slightly.

Qingmei then said: "However, not long after I left, Zhu Mingyi returned to the inn, and did not have the time to meet with Second Aunt during this period."

Shui Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "That shouldn't be the case."

As Qingmei spoke to here, her expression grew heavy. "I've followed Zhu Mingyi back to the Guest Tower Inn. The nineteen people who were originally at the Guest Tower Inn have all disappeared."

The task of concocting medicine in Shui Qingyan's hand came to a halt: "What did you say?"

"Besides Zhu Mingyi, the other nineteen people have all disappeared." Qing Mei said solemnly.

Shui Qingyan immediately said: "Quickly go and see if Zhu Mingyi is still here."

Qing Mei immediately reacted and ran to the guest room. Zhu Mingyi's room was currently empty.

Qing Mei saw a letter on the table. "Is it for Miss Shi?"

Green Plum took the letter and immediately ran back to Yi'an Yard.

Yi'an Yard, Qingmei opened the letter, "Miss, it's a token."

Shui Qingyan received it, and touched it herself: "City exit command medallion!"

"What should we do?" Qing Mei asked with a frown.

Shui Qingyan raised her brows: "With Chu Chen around, there is no need to rush."

Qing Mei was a little surprised. Normally, the young miss would be extremely cautious when talking about Prince Chu, but why was his attitude so good today?

Shui Qingyan held onto the order badge in her hands, meaning for her to take down the eighteen strongholds without anyone knowing, and then report it to the imperial government after figuring out the people of the eighteen strongholds.

Thinking, Shui Qingyan nodded. Chu Chen's idea was not bad.

"Miss, what should we do next?" Qing Mei asked.

Shui Qingyan smiled slightly: "The rest is up to brother-in-law."

So Shui Qingyan packed up and went to the Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Mansion, Dong Li Yard.

After Qingmei sent Shui Qingyan there, she immediately sent her Forever Workshop to look for news of the Second Aunt.

To Shui Qingyan's surprise, when Shui Qingyan pushed open the Dong Li Yard door, she found Zhang Jing sprawled on the table.

Zhang Jing heard the sound of footsteps coming in and slowly started to fear from the table. Focusing his gaze and seeing that it was Shui Qingyan, Zhang Jing immediately asked: "Qing Yan, how is your elder sister!"

Shui Qingyan calmly glanced at Zhang Jing: "I'm alive."

Zhang Jing heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Brother-in-law will go wash up first. I'll tell brother-in-law about my thoughts today." Shui Qingyan said.

After Zhang Jing heard this, he immediately brought the dark circles under his eyes back to his courtyard to wash his face.

At this time, Zhang Jing unleashed his Dong Li Yard.

Aunt Wang, who happened to be passing by the Dong Li Yard, saw Zhang Jing coming out from the Dong Li Yard.

Zhang Jing was completely focused on Shui Qingyan's idea, and did not notice the Aunt Wang in the distance, which was walking straight in front of them.

Aunt Wang twisted the silk in her hand, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Aunt, please calm your heart." Senior Servant An immediately consoled her.

Aunt Wang took a deep breath, "Let's go!"

After returning to the Peony Courtyard, Aunt Wang threw the breakfast that she had intended to give Zhang Jing onto the ground. "Liar, liar, Zhang Jing, you big liar!"

Senior Servant An sighed, "Aunt, what's the point of this?"

"Why? "How long has it been, how long have you told me, and now, you're pretending that you didn't see me!" The Aunt Wang roared at the Senior Servant An.

"I, Wang Xueqing, want a face, and I don't know how to knit a red hair. Marrying him wasn't something that I cherish, it was something that I switched with so quickly!" Wang Xueqing said as she sat on the ground while crying.

"Aunt." Senior Servant An immediately came to help him, "Aunt, be careful of your child!"

Aunt Wang cried and rubbed her belly, "Child? If he cares, why would he stay at Dong Li Yard for the entire night? "

"Aunt, what do I have to say for you to listen?" The Senior Servant An sighed helplessly, "A man has three to four wives, could it be that Aunt doesn't understand this logic? Aunt's goal is to become the mistress of Zhang Mansion, and to become the official's wife.
