"Are you talking about the disappearance of Fourth Miss Qi in the Imperial Palace?" Chun Niang couldn't help but sigh, "This matter has been blown out of proportion. Who in the entire capital doesn't know about it? I heard many guests in the restaurant talking about it. They all said that it's related to the Thirteenth Princess. Some people also said that it's the doing of the wolf demon who has been pestering Fourth Miss Qi. Both the truth and the lies made people terrified. What, is there anything I can help you with? Feel free to ask. As long as I know, I'll tell you everything. "
Ning Shu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Chun Niang, have you ever heard of a demon that can transform into a human, or a person that can transform into a demon?"
Chun Niang lived in the mortal world. She had dealt with the highest nobles, merchants, and peddlers. In her line of work, she seemed to be humble and inconspicuous. In fact, the things she had heard of might even be beyond the reach of the Imperial College. Therefore, Ning Shu asked this question.
Chun Niang frowned and thought carefully. She deliberated and said, "I've seen a lot of demons or demons that can transform into humans in novels. I've also seen it on the stage. Other than that, I've never heard of anyone talking about it. Maybe it's because I don't know much. How about this, when I have time, I'll ask all the sisters I know. If I get any news, I'll immediately inform you. "
Ning Shu thanked her solemnly, "Then I'll have to trouble Chun Niang and my sisters."
"Women like us who float in the mortal world have always been despised and looked down upon. How many people can treat us sisters like humans like you? There's an old saying that a gentleman will die for his bosom friend. What's the big deal about doing something for you? "
After bidding farewell to Chun Niang, Ning Shu walked out of the Chasing Cloud and Moon Restaurant. She rubbed her temples and felt that the meal just now was more difficult than solving the case. Forsythia had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Ning Shu coming out, she hurriedly opened the curtain and helped her into the carriage.
Zi Gui was already waiting for her in the carriage with the news.
Ning Shu did not beat around the bush and asked directly, "Where are the servants of the Qi Family who followed Qi Zaoyu into the palace?"
Zi Gui said, "They testified to each other that before Fourth Young Mistress Qi went missing, they were always together and none of them left. The probability of them committing a crime together was too low. The Supreme Court considered that they were both from the Qi family and could be considered half a victim, so they were temporarily released back to the Qi family. However, they were ordered not to leave the residence in the near future and to be summoned at any time."
Ning Shu nodded. The Supreme Court's arrangement was not without reason. After all, outsiders staying in the palace for a long time was not a long-term solution. She continued, "You must keep a close eye on them. They served them all the way. Even when Qi Zhanyu went to rest, they were still guarding outside. I don't believe that there is a monster that can silently and invisibly steal people out of thin air. Qi Jueyu's disappearance may be related to one of them. "
"Your subordinate will go right away." Zi Gui was swift and decisive in his actions. He jumped off the carriage after receiving the order.
Ning Shu quietly thought about the many puzzling mysteries in the case in the carriage. She tried to find the hidden common points and connect them together. Her thoughts were like lightning when the carriage stopped for some reason.
She lifted the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"
Forsythia pouted and pointed to the front. Ning Shu looked over and saw an extremely familiar carriage was leisurely parked diagonally in front of them. It was also the corner that they had to pass to return to the residence.
The coachman was very lively and even waved at them from afar. Who else could it be other than Huimo?
Ning Shu's molars silently itched. She smiled, her face full of fragrance. She lifted the hem of her skirt and got off the carriage. She unceremoniously boarded the carriage of the Southern Pacifying Wang Fu. She faced Xiahou Qing, who was drinking tea and resting inside and quietly waiting for her to arrive, and questioned him, "Your Highness, why did you play with my daughter like that at the banquet?"
Without anyone else present, Ning Shu's tone could not help but have a hint of condemnation.
