My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Once you alert the enemy, all your efforts will be wasted.

Besides, Yu Huan had escaped, and no one had seen her alive or dead, so Deng Hengyan couldn't be completely relieved. The Deng family had just suffered such a bad fate, and Deng Hengyan was severely beaten and scolded by his own father. It was expected that in the short term, he would not dare to and would not have the mind to secretly kidnap innocent women and do evil again.

Shao Xun took Lin Yulan out of the city for a short stay this time. In addition to relaxing and detoxifying the wet nurse, he also wanted to meet Yu Huan in person.

He would have to ask her himself.

Yu Huan told him everything he knew and cooperated completely. He was even more furious and hated Deng Hengyan to the core in his words.

Shao Xun was quite satisfied and nodded secretly. He thought that this woman could still pay attention and remember so many things under such circumstances, and she spoke clearly and logically. She was indeed unique, only a few points worse than his wife. No wonder Deng Hengyan was so competitive and refused to use force.

She was able to escape, not only because of her own ability, but also because of a bit of luck.

Shao Xun added, "You said you were going to Beijing to look for your husband, but who is your husband? Do you have any clue? You can stay here for now, and I can send someone to secretly look after your husband's family."

Yu Huan's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he shook his head gently: "I only know that his last name is Huo, and he works in the Central Army of the Five Military Command. He didn't know I came to find him. When we separated last year, he originally told me that he would come to pick me up next year at the latest. My grandfather passed away, and my clan members bullied me. I couldn't stay in my hometown, so I went to Beijing to find him in advance."

"Surname Huo? Five Military Commandery?" Shao Xun subconsciously thought of a family, but shook his head. That was impossible. It was too absurd. There were so many people in the Five Military Commandery, with all kinds of surnames. Huo was not uncommon, so it couldn't be what he thought.

"Don't you even know his name?"

Yu Huan was a little embarrassed, and tried to save face by saying, "He said he didn't want to lie to me, and he would tell me next time he sees me. He is not a man who goes back on his word, and I believe that my grandfather and I would not make a mistake."

Shao Xun: “…”

"Looking for him is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Can you draw? Why don't you draw his portrait and I'll have someone look for him in secret?"

Yu Huan shook his head: "I'm really sorry, Master, I can't draw."

There was nothing that could be done. Since she had expressed her opinion, whether she really couldn't do it or was just pretending, Shao Xun didn't force her any further.

Although he wanted to find the person very much, on the one hand, he could keep a close eye on him so that Yu Huan could stay here with peace of mind, and secondly, he could be considered a hostage.

"Forget it, my people are still investigating this matter, and I'm afraid the results won't come out so quickly. You stay here peacefully and are not allowed to leave this yard. Is there any problem?"

"No, as long as you can really bring that evildoer to justice, I am willing to stay here."

Shao Xun smiled and said, "My Lord, I think Madam is a smart person. You should have thought that anyone who dared to do such a thing under the emperor's feet must not be from an ordinary family. No matter who he is, if this matter is exposed, you will be required to testify in court. Are you willing?"

"I--"

"Don't rush to answer. I'll tell you the truth. That man is the younger brother of the current Crown Princess."

Yu Huan exclaimed "Ah!" and her face changed slightly. She did expect that the man was either rich or noble, but she never thought that he was directly connected to the royal family.

And...it's still related to the Crown Princess.

She is the future queen who will rule the country.

"Think about it carefully. If you are willing, that would be great. I will find a way to protect your life. If you are not willing, that's fine too. I will think of another way."

In short, he will definitely dig deep to expose this evidence that has been delivered to his door. That bastard Deng Er should just wait for bad luck.

"Don't think about it. Since the young master said so, I am willing to testify in court. Even if I lose my life, as long as I can bring that devil to justice, I am willing to do so."

Shao Xun stared at her for a moment, then chuckled, "Okay, it's settled then."

"Yes."

Shao Xun nodded, stood up and prepared to leave.

He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yu Huan: "Do you know how to make incense?"

Yu Huan was stunned for a moment, "I understand a little bit, but I'm not very good at it."

Shao Xun: "Since I have nothing to do, I'll study it."

Yu Huan looked puzzled, but still nodded and responded respectfully: "Yes..."

Only then did Shao Xun leave.

His wife's incense-making shop had opened a while ago and business was booming. No one would complain about having too many recipes for making incense. Yu Huan was free anyway, so it would be nice if he could come up with one or two recipes.

As he stepped out of Willow Garden, Shao Xun realized that it was getting dark and it was already late.

He hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Lin Yulan's residence.

On the way, he met the housekeeper of the manor. The housekeeper hurriedly greeted him and then smiled and said, "My lord, my lady just sent someone to invite you to have dinner."

"Madam sent someone to invite you? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Shao Xun immediately perked up, reprimanded the housekeeper, and walked decisively towards Lin Yulan's residence, "Since Madam came to invite you, I can't just give Madam face!"

Shao Chu and Shao Shiqi exchanged glances, and both of them hurriedly followed in silence.

Listen to the Marquis's words, why is it so similar to the tone of those girls vying for favor, retreating to advance? His eyes were bright, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and even his steps became faster, but his words were reluctant.

Tsk tsk, the Marquis is really becoming less and less valuable.

Shao Xun walked briskly to Lin Yulan's side, but unexpectedly there was total silence.

Shao Xun was stunned and called Xiao Xing to ask, "Where is the madam?"

Xiao Xing bent slightly and said honestly: "My Lord, has the Madam just gone to bed?"

"Take a break?"

His heart skipped a beat, and he asked hurriedly, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Otherwise, wasn't he invited to come over for dinner? Why would he take a break?

Xiao Xing shook her head, somewhat confused as to why the Marquis said this: "No, the Madam said she was a little tired today, and she washed up and went to bed not long after dinner."

Shao Xun glanced at her unhappily and said, "You are such a dumb girl, what do you know? Where is Xiao Qu? Ask her to come over."

Xiao Xing felt aggrieved, but she had always been an honest and dutiful person, so she did not dare to argue with the Marquis and just responded and went to call Xiao Qu obediently.

Xiaoqu was killing time by sewing in the outer room of Lin Yulan's bedroom. When she heard the Marquis calling her, she hurried out.

"Master Hou."

"Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Qu was also surprised: "Madam, are you feeling unwell? No, I was fine when I helped you to go to bed!"

Shao Xun's eyes widened: "...Really?"

"Yes." Xiao Qu was puzzled and stammered boldly: "I don't know, I don't know why the Marquis said that?"
