Madam Fang nodded.
After sending off Madam Fang, Xie Chang Wu returned to the room and paced back and forth in frustration.
Those words that were said to Madam Fang were naturally to deal with her. It was easy to deal with Madam Fang as she was only a woman in the inner residence but now that even Xie Ding would ask about Xie Chang Chao's whereabouts every few days, it was not good.
Ever since Xie Chang Wu returned from the banquet with Xie Ding, he did not see any trace of Xie Chang Chao. If it was like this then it was still alright, perhaps Xie Chang Chao had some urgent matters to attend to and had to leave, but there was no trace of the person in the secret chamber. This really made Xie Chang Wu tremble with fear.
The secret chamber in the residence of the Marquis of Lin An was built by the two brothers, Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao, and it took a lot of twists and turns. Those workers who built the secret rooms were all killed by Xie Chang Wu, so in the entire Marquis residence, other than the two brothers, no one else would know where the entrance was. Xie Ding did not know, much less the people outside of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An.
Initially Xie Chang Wu thought that it was Xie Chang Chao who brought Shen Miao out, perhaps he found a way to send Shen Miao to the 'brothel' or perhaps Xie Chang Chao had other plans. But after waiting and waiting, the news that Shen Miao was sent back to the Shen mansion by Princess Rong Xin made Xie Chang Wu immediately felt that it was not good.
Shen Miao was saved but where did the disappeared Xie Chang Chao go? Those people kidnapped Shen Miao in the secret room? But there were no signs of fighting in the secret room, and it was impossible for anyone else to know about this secret room. Could it be that when Xie Chang Chao brought Shen Miao out, they were discovered and Shen Miao was rescued? But what was with Princess Rong Xin's words?
Xie Chang Wu felt that he had fallen into a vicious circle. No matter what he did, he was wrong. He wanted to see the person if he was alive, he wanted to see the corpse if he was dead. No matter how Xie Chang Wu sent out people to search for Xie Chang Chao, there was no trace of him.
Not only was Xie Chang Chao's long period of disappearance suspicious, in the Qin country's residence, Princess Ming An flew into a rage when she heard the news of Shen Miao being rescued, and asked Xie Chang Wu to quickly return to the residence. Xie Chang Wu could only temporarily make up some reasons to appease Princess Ming An, but the paper could not wrap the fire, and Princess Ming An would eventually explode.
Xie Chang Wu was so anxious that blisters formed at the corner of his mouth. He put on his outer robe and planned to let people search every corner of the Ding capital when he suddenly saw a letter on the table.
One did not know who placed this letter on his desk, but Xie Chang Wu never allowed servants to enter his study, thus outsiders were not able to enter. He first looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see anyone. He picked up the letter and opened it. He saw a familiar line of words.
It was Xie Chang Chao's handwriting.
Xie Chang Chao said in the letter that he wanted to bring Shen Miao out to look for a brothel that day but who knew that they met with soldiers on the way and had no choice but to hide in a private house by the Wan Li Lake. These days the news of Shen Miao returning to the Shen mansion was actually a scam that Shen Xin and Princess Rong Xin conspired. The aim was to make the people who abducted Shen Miao relax their vigilance. On the surface it looked like the Shen family's army and officers had stopped searching but in private they did not relax their search. Thus Xie Chang Chao did not dare to easily bring Shen Miao out.
Now that Princess Ming An was pressuring him, it would be better to sell Shen Miao to the brothel of the Wan Li Lake tonight. No matter what, they would first humiliate Shen Miao so that Princess Ming An would be happy. It would be best to let Princess Ming An go along to watch, to make up for the failure of the two brothers.
After reading the letter, Xie Chang Wu believed seventy to eighty percent of it.
Firstly, as stated in the letter, even though Shen Miao was sent back by Princess Rong Xin and there was an uproar outside, no matter if it was that day when Shen Miao was sent back to the Shen mansion or after Shen Miao returned, she did not show her face outside. That was to say that everyone did not see Shen Miao return with their own eyes. Since that was the case, why did Shen Xin not let Shen Miao show her face outside to make it more real? Could it be that Shen Miao was not found?
Secondly, and also the most important point. The handwriting on the letter was undoubtedly Xie Chang Chao's, and there was even the secret communication method between Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao. When Xie Chang Chao was outside, even in the officialdom, there were very few documents that he personally wrote. If one were to say that it was just based on that, it was impossible to imitate Xie Chang Chao's handwriting. If one were to say that there was, it would be when Xie Chang Chao was practicing calligraphy at home, the manuscripts that were discarded in the residence. There were a lot of those manuscripts, and if Xie Jing Xing was still alive, perhaps he would be able to imitate Xie Chang Chao's handwriting.
Not to mention whether Xie Jing Xing had the intention to imitate Xie Chang Chao's handwriting, even if he had, it was impossible. Xie Jing Xing died on the battlefield two years ago, and there were no bones left. In this world, no one would be able to imitate Xie Chang Chao's handwriting.
Xie Chang Wu thought about it and walked to the table. He spread out the paper and started writing.
