But Zhu Yao could not ignore this situation.
She said: "Mother, she is a little girl looking for someone on the streets, what if something happens? We can't ignore it. "
"This child, this has nothing to do with you, why do you have to do this?"
"It has nothing to do with me, but she is a little girl wandering around the city, when will she find her sister? Mother, let's help her."
Madam Zhu did not know what to do with her, so she told Cai 'er: "Take this child to the yamen, let the yamen people look for her."
"Yes." Cai 'er was about to take Liu Yunzhu.
Liu Yunzhu took a step back, shaking her head: "No, I won't go to the yamen."
Thinking of the yamen, her whole body trembled.
She remembered that she had personally seen her father die in the yamen, so she would never go to the yamen in this life.
But others did not understand her thoughts.
Cai 'er said in a gentle tone: "Little girl, I will take you to the yamen, the adults will help you find your sister. Don't you want to find your sister? Then come with me. "
"No, I won't go!"
"This …" Cai 'er looked at Madam Zhu.
Seeing this child so awkward, Madam Zhu lost her patience and said: "Little girl, why are you so troublesome? If you don't want to go to the yamen, then it's up to you. "Saying this, she pulled Zhu Yao towards the shop." Yao 'er, let's go in. "
Zhu Yao did not move, still very kind and patient. She walked in front of Liu Yunzhu, slightly bent down, and reached out her hand to gently rub Liu Yunzhu's head. "Since you don't want to go to the yamen, then come home with me first. Tell Cai 'er everything you know, let her go to the yamen, if she finds your sister, then she will bring you back. It's better than you looking everywhere, if you meet a bad person, it would not be good if something happened."
Her tone was so gentle.
Liu Yunzhu looked at her with a pair of teary eyes, she did not know why, but she felt that this sister in front of her was a good person.
"What, you don't want to?"
"Okay."
Zhu Yao smiled.
When Madam Zhu heard this, she immediately pulled Zhu Yao to the side: "Yao 'er, what are you doing? How could he just casually bring someone home? You don't even know where your child came from. "
Zhu Yao pulled her mother's hand and said, "Mother, since we're doing a good deed, we should do it to the end. Look at how pitiful this little girl is, she's probably not from Yan Jing. Now that she's separated from her older sister, no matter what, we have to help her. Besides, our Minister's Mansion is so big, could it be that we can't even accommodate a little girl?"
"Of course not."
"Then bring her back."
Madame Zhu was really unable to change her daughter's mind and had no choice but to agree.
They went into the dessert shop and ordered a lot of desserts. Meanwhile, Cai 'er went to the yamen according to Liu Yunzhu's information.
However, there was very little information. He only knew that her sister was called Liu Yunyan. Because she was poisoned, she had a small rash on her face and was resting. There was also a butler called Uncle Qiao. That was all.
Therefore, when Cai 'er went to the capital's government office to explain the situation, the capital's governor was momentarily stunned. How could he find someone in the vast Yan Jing city with such little information? However, the other party was Minister Zhu's maidservant, so the Capital Governor had to give her some face. So, he sent people out to look for her. Cai 'Er also hurriedly returned to the pastry shop, saying that the Capital Governor would report to her residence as soon as he found her.
Liu Yunzhu asked weakly, "Can you really find my sister?"
Zhu Yao told her, "As long as your sister is still in Yan Jing City, we can definitely find her."
"My sister must be here. She's here to participate in … some Courtesan Competition. She must be here."
The Top Beauty Selection!
Zhu Yao and Madam Zhu looked at each other in surprise.
"Your sister is here to participate in the Top Beauty Competition?"
"Yes."
Zhu Yao fell silent!
Madame Zhu thought for a moment, then quietly said to Zhu Yao, "Since it's like this, we can't let her live in the fu."
Of course, Zhu Yao understood what her mother meant.
So if Liu Yunzhu stayed in the Zhu Manor and Liu Yunyan entered the preliminary round, wouldn't people be gossiping about it? Even if there was no such thing, it would be spread as if it was true. If something else was involved, what should they do?
The less trouble, the better!
Madame Zhu would never take such a risk.
Zhu Yao knew the pros and cons of this.
But …
She looked at the little girl sitting in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Mother, I know this matter is inappropriate, but I can't ignore her. It's better to bring her back to the fu. It's only a small matter, no one will make a big fuss about it. Moreover, we've already notified the capital's magistrate. Once her sister is found, she can go to the fu and inform us. Since the matter is already done, don't think about anything else. "
"You child!"
Madame Zhu wasn't a cold-hearted person. In the end, she couldn't resist her daughter's pleading and could only agree to bring Liu Yunzhu back first while waiting for news.
On the other side.
Ji Yunshu was also waiting for news from Jing Rong.
She wanted to find Su Ziluo to talk about Miss Huazheng, but she didn't know what happened in the palace. The Emperor sent an edict early in the morning, summoning him to the palace. He didn't return until evening. Obediently, the Emperor summoned many ministers, but she didn't know why.
Ah Yi said it was because of Prince Jing An. His body had been transported to Yan Jing for a long time, but it hadn't been buried yet. She also heard that his body hadn't rotted and had even swelled up.
Many people were frightened, so the body was still there.
However, Ah Jiao said it was because of the Courtesan Awards. Ah Yi directly refuted her, saying that her young master never cared about flowers, so it must be because of Prince Jing An's body.
If that was the case, Ah Yi's explanation was more reliable.
Ah Jiao, however, was unwilling to give up. She ran to Ji Yunshu and asked, "Miss, what do you think young master is busy with?"
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
She didn't know!
Even if she also believed that it was about Prince Jing An's body, she couldn't say it to avoid hurting Ah Jiao. She said, "How would I know? There's no point in guessing. Won't you know when Teacher Su comes back? "
Ah Jiao said, "Why would young master tell us? Even if he had something to do, he would keep it to himself. At most … Sister Qi 'er would tell us. "
Ah Yi said, "That's right. Qi 'er knows a lot about young master."
Ji Yunshu's eyes suddenly turned. She asked, "Do you know Li 'er?"
At this point, Ah Yi and Ah Jiao looked at each other.
They grew up in the Su residence, so they naturally knew Li 'er.
Ji Yunshu saw that they didn't say anything. She asked, "You don't know?"
"I know." Ah Yi said, "Li 'er used to stay by young master's side. Young master would bring him wherever he went."
"But why haven't I seen Li 'er?"
"I don't know. Five years ago, Li 'er followed young master to Great Lin. When he came back, he disappeared. Young master didn't say anything, so we didn't ask."
Strange!
Since Su Ziluo would bring Li 'er wherever he went, why didn't Li' er come back with him?
Ah Jiao suddenly asked, "Miss, why are you asking this? Li 'er hasn't been seen for five years, and young master has never mentioned him. How do you know about Li' er? "
She casually found an excuse. "Miss Qi 'er let it slip."
The two girls didn't doubt her words.
After a while, Ji Yunshu said, "Go back to your rooms and rest."
Ah Yi and Ah Jiao turned up a small heater in the room and went out.
The room was quiet, and so was the courtyard.
Only the rustling of leaves could be heard.
Ji Yunshu wrapped herself in a cloak and stood at the door. Her eyes stared at the two swaying lanterns hanging on the courtyard gate.
There were many questions in her heart that she hadn't solved.
What happened to Su Ziluo on his way back to Qujiang?
Why didn't he bring news of Jing Rong to Great Lin after rescuing him?
And where did Li 'er go?
Was there a connection between the three?
If there was a connection, what could it be?
The doubts in her heart grew bigger and bigger.
Suddenly …
A figure jumped down from the roof and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
That figure was very familiar!
It was said that women were the most direct. She knew it was Jing Rong!
She rushed into the courtyard and looked around. "Jing Rong, is that you?"
There was no sound.
It was completely silent.
"I know it's you. Come out!"
With that, the figure landed behind her.
