In the Second Prince's Mansion, Chu Chengyao received the news from his subordinates and looked at them one by one.
"Be sure to keep an eye on the newly recruited people. If someone wants to run and kill them, the location must not be revealed."
"Master, don't worry, my subordinates have arranged inspections day and night, and will also count the number of people in the morning and evening."
"Well, after Yuan Dao lost the disaster relief food and was demoted, did he ever notice that something was wrong?"
"Master Yuan has always thought that it was robbed by refugees, and there is no doubt about it."
"Find out the places where Yuan Dao often goes after leaving the mansion. Mr. Yuan will definitely make a difference in the future if he is truly talented and learned. At this time, he should be comforted if he is frustrated."
"Yes, my master is wise."
"Is there any news from the people following Lin Jinyan?"
"Nothing...she is just a child, and the only places she went to were the shop and the general's mansion, nothing special."
Chu Chengyao put down the letter in his hand and raised his head expressionlessly to look at the man standing in front of the table.
"Zhong Yi, when will you be able to make decisions for me?"
The man named Zhong Yi said in fear: "I don't dare!"
Chu Chengyao said in a deep voice: "If she is just an ordinary child, why should I ask you to send someone to follow her? Let's not talk about her birth. This girl's mind alone is enough to make me curious. Yesterday, she used retreat to advance, forcing Yunxi was ignored by the prince, but she expressed her loyalty to the Gu family in front of the palace. Zhuangzi only received so little food before, so I suspected that she was deliberately tricking me. "
Zhong Yi: "Master, are you overthinking it? She is still a child. No matter how smart she is, how can she deceive you?"
Chu Chengyao: "I hope so. Anyway, don't underestimate her. Look at her carefully."
Zhong Yi responded respectfully.
A few days later, news came from the General's Mansion that He Quan's sister had been found and she was in Tai'an City. After hearing the specific location, Lin Jinyan thought for a moment and called He Quan and the others.
"What will you do if you can't find your sister temporarily?"
He Quan: "Now that my parents are gone, my sister is our only relative. Even if I can't find my little one for the time being, I will remember her in my heart and will never give up no matter how many years go by."
Lin Jinyan: "If... something happens to her and her innocence is lost, will you two dislike her?"
He Quan asked anxiously: "What's wrong with my sister? What happened to her?"
Lin Jinyan: "Nothing happened, I just asked casually."
He Mu: "Even if something happened to my sister, she was harmed by someone else and it was not of her own free will. How can we blame her?"
He Quan: "No matter what happens to my sister, I and my brother will never feel disgusted. They will only hate themselves for being useless and unable to protect her."
After Lin Jinyan was silent for a moment, she sighed: "Your sister has been found. I will take you to see her."
In the early morning, Xianyao Restaurant had not yet opened, and only the shopkeeper and a waiter were there. An inconspicuous sedan stopped at the door of Xianyao Building. The waiter opened the door and let the sedan carry it into the hall and closed the door.
The bearer opened the curtain, and a woman with a stunning appearance and a numb expression got out of the sedan. The waiter took the woman and four bearers to the private room upstairs.
Opening the door, a middle-aged man with a strong build and a dark face sat in rich clothes. The leading bearer nodded and bowed in greeting.
"Uncle, this is our Miss Linglan from Wangyou Pavilion who you kissed. I brought it to you. Do you think of the remaining silver?"
The middle-aged man picked up the money bag that had been prepared on the table and threw it over. The bearer opened it, counted it, and smiled happily. He stepped into the room and looked around.
