In the next few days, Yu Xiaoqiao temporarily put Chu Wan's matter aside, no longer asking about it, just waiting and watching how things would develop.

Si Wenming also adjusted his strategy, quietly withdrawing the relevant personnel and focusing all his attention on finding Li Lingyan.

Only Jiang Yubai is left, going out early and returning late every day.

In Yu Xiaoqiao's eyes, Jiang Yubai has a positive attitude and works very hard.

He would keep her informed of progress every day.

This is currently his only chance to communicate more with Yu Xiaoqiao and get closer to him.

He cherishes it and rehearses it several times before each communication.

Every time she listened with a faint smile, she would sometimes show an expression of excitement or emotion, but it was always less genuine than before, and seemed more careless.

Even she herself didn't know why, maybe she lost confidence, or maybe Jiang Yubai was too meticulous, and the content, tone, and emotions were all so reasonable.

It's so perfect, yet it makes people feel uneasy.

Looking at his sincere eyes and serious expression, Yu Xiaoqiao always felt that something was wrong.

Being with Si Wenming, I feel real and peaceful.

But now, it feels like walking on cotton, my heart is not on the ground and I can't feel steady.

That day, while Jiang Yubai was not at home, she went to where Yu Xiaomo and Yu Chuxiao were staying.

As they were not notified in advance, she did not meet the two persons.

Jingye brewed tea, which was her favorite flavor. As soon as she took a sip, her heart began to churn.

Except for Si Wenming, no one knew that she liked flower tea, especially that soaked in honey.

There is a hint of sweetness in the fragrance of the flowers, and it is extremely fragrant when brewed with mountain spring water.

At this moment, the sweetness has the taste of life.

As she was daydreaming, she caught a glimpse of a big-headed doll in the cupboard.

It was exactly the same as the one Si Wenming had carved for her in Liuzhou, except that this one was made of jade.

As pure as mutton fat, as delicate as skin, and yet so familiar.

She suddenly remembered, wasn't this the mutton-fat white jade that Wen Ming had cut at the jade factory when he went to the northern border?

Yu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but take it in her hand and stroke it gently.

"Husband... Princess, the master of the family came back from the northern border and kept saying that he would give you the eagle, but he was always busy and just needed to finish it. Later, later... the master of the family left."

Jingye couldn't help sobbing twice, turned around and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

A feeling of sadness surged in Yu Xiaoqiao's eyes, and they turned red.

There are also many small gadgets collected by Wenming in the cabinet.

The flowers they had seen together, the grass they had picked, even the snacks they had eaten together... every little thing.

She could no longer control herself and her tears gushed out. Seeing this, Jingye wanted to say a few more words, but the words got stuck in her throat and she swallowed them with difficulty.

She didn't know whether this courtyard was for Yu Xiaomo and others to hide or for her to relieve her longing for him.

At this time, Yu Xiaomo entered the room and shook her head helplessly, "Sister, do you really believe that brother-in-law Si is dead?"

"Ah?" Yu Xiaoqiao raised her head with tears in her eyes.

Yu Xiaomo bit his lip and repeated, "Brother-in-law Si is so awesome that even the Heart-Eating Butterfly didn't kill him before. How can he die so easily now? I don't believe it!"

I don’t believe it anyway!

The tea in his hand shattered to the ground with a "bang".

Yu Xiaomo leaned over to pick it up. "The body buried in the tomb is half an inch shorter. Although it is not visible while lying down, I have measured it. It is not him if it is even a hair shorter!"

Yu Xiaoqiao stayed where she was. She was afraid that Si Wenming was really dead, so she didn't dare to check.

However, Yu Xiaomo went there and became suspicious.

"If you don't believe me, you can call Li Di Huo to do a DNA test and the answer will be clear immediately!"

Yu Xiaoqiao's fingers trembled slightly, and she was afraid that the space could no longer be activated.

I tried it several times before, but it didn't work, so I didn't dare to try again.

After a long silence, Yu Xiaoqiao said, "I can't summon it anymore!"

Yu Xiaomo was startled, and then he took Yu Xiaoqiao's hand, "Sister, I will always be with you! I believe that even if you can't bring about an immediate disaster, you will still have a way to verify the truth."

Wiping her tearful face, Yu Xiaoqiao nodded deeply.

——You can’t escape anymore, you have to face it.

She took out a brocade bag from her bosom and stared at it for a long time.

After a while, she took Yu Xiaomo into her arms and said, "Keep looking for the letter of treason."

After saying this, he strode away.

Yu Xiaomo looked at Yu Xiaoqiao who was leaving, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Sister, brother-in-law Si is definitely still alive!"

You once told me that people pursue two things throughout their lives: one is value and the other is belonging. Value is career and belonging is love.

I hope that my sister can spend her life with the one she truly loves.

Otherwise, even if you are alive, you are already dead.

I want my sister to live forever, live brilliantly, and live happily!

Yu Xiaomo immediately summoned Ruman to discuss the next course of action.

After Yu Xiaoqiao left, she went directly to Si Wenming's tomb.

He didn't return to Jiang Mansion until dark, and Jiang Yubai also returned to Jiang Mansion.

Seeing that she looked lonely, he summoned his confidant to question her.

The secret guard reported Yu Xiaoqiao's whereabouts to Jiang Yubai in his ear.

Of course, there was no mention of losing Yu Xiaomo at his residence.

After all, it was really embarrassing to be blocked by a few little kids and lose face.

What's more, this master only seems gentle, but once he gets angry, he will show no mercy at all.

Jiang Yubai's face went from calm to cold in an instant, and a chill emanated from his entire body.

The secret guards couldn't help but shudder and retreated silently.

The hands under the long sleeves trembled, slowly clenched into fists, and anger filled the eyes.

He rushed towards Yu Xiaoqiao's room, but stopped the moment he opened the door.

After a long pause, the door was pushed open.

He whispered, "What's wrong? You look so bad! Is it because Lan'er didn't serve you well? How about changing a maid for Madam?"

This was the first time Jiang Yubai called her Madam since they got married.

Yu Xiaoqiao was startled for a moment, then she forced a smile, "I was out for a long time today, I was tired, it has nothing to do with Lan'er. Why did you come back so late? How is Wan'er's situation?"

This was the first time Yu Xiaoqiao took the initiative to ask about Yu Chuwan since the failed rescue.
