My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official

Someone said hastily, "Sorry, I'm in the wrong room. Goodbye!"

Before Qingyun could ask, the man left in a hurry.

Pei Xia immediately opened the door to check, but no one was there.

Su He knew that someone in the capital must know about her actions. After all, Queen Guo had been sending people to monitor Lu Huaihe, and there might be spies in the Princess's Mansion.

The person knocking on the door might be here to get information.

"Perhaps we have been exposed. We can't stay here any longer."

Pei Xia immediately packed his luggage and began looking for another place to stay.

Qingyun, who had searched outside, brought back some new news.

Before Lu Huaihe went to the water'an, he met Guo Fei's wife. The wife's surname was Du, and her name was Du Erniang. Her previous name in the palace was Hongmei.

"After the master disappeared, Madam Du was beaten every two days. It is said that Guo Fei was particularly cold to her and would beat and scold her at any time without mercy."

Lu Huaihe was only focused on solving the case. It seemed that Guo Fei mistakenly thought that there was something fishy going on between the two of them, or that he discovered Lu Huaihe's purpose of approaching Mrs. Du.

Su He continued to ask: "What about the other two doctors? Have you heard any news?"

Qingyun shook his head. "We should find another place to live right now. When I passed by the Guo Mansion today, I saw an empty mansion next to it. I think we can stay there. If we can get in touch with Madam Du and find out what happened that day..."

He paused mid-sentence.

Su He knew clearly that Du Erniang was in a dangerous situation and her life might be in danger if she wasn't careful, so she would definitely not be willing to contact them.

Besides, the three of them are weak and alone, and even if Du Erniang is willing, they may not be able to protect her.

Thinking of this, her eyes moved.

"Qingyun, do you remember what the prince's edict looks like?"

"Crown Prince...edict?"

In order not to expose his whereabouts, Qingyun asked Su He to secretly leave the inn that night, and asked Pei Xia to stay in the inn, pretending that there was someone in the room, and eating and living as usual.

On the third day, Pei Xia tried to find a way to sneak out of the inn and threw his worthless luggage in the room to create the illusion that someone was there.

Qingyun was out gathering information every day, and after four days of this, he finally found a clue.

"Less than a hundred meters from the reservoir, my subordinates found this."

Su He took a closer look and immediately stood up, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Is this a hair crown? It's definitely his, what else is there?"

"There is nothing else."

Lu Huaihe was wearing this hair crown when he left the capital. Although it is a bit worn out now, it is undoubtedly his from the style.

Since the thing is near the reservoir, the person should be nearby as well.

At worst, even if it is a corpse, it won't be too far away.

Su He touched her slightly bulging belly, holding her hair crown with mixed feelings.

"The people must be nearby. Qingyun, find a few people to search nearby. Once you find any relevant clues, come back and report to me immediately."

"An open search?" Qingyun was a little worried: "Our whereabouts are not easy to be exposed. What if we get into trouble..."

Su He said firmly, "It's alright, I've thought of a way out, just follow my instructions."

Seeing that she was not joking, Qingyun thought of the prince's edict he had mentioned a few days ago, and he could not help but feel a little suspicious. However, the matter of finding the master was urgent and he could not delay any longer...

After a brief thought, he went out to find someone to search.

The Chengdong Reservoir is extremely large, so Qingyun quickly gathered more than ten people and searched carefully along two locations along the waterfront. Any clues they found would be reported immediately.

Su He stood in the courtyard, wearing a fox fur cloak and staring blankly.

Pei Xia placed the warm hand warmer in her palm and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Madam. The master will be fine."

Su He's eyes trembled and he hummed softly.

The news that Qingyun was looking for someone immediately spread throughout Yanzhou City.

Guo Fei had received the news long ago and knew that Lu Huaihe's wife was in the city. Now that he heard that they were looking for Lu Huaihe openly, he no longer concealed it and brought his subordinates to the reservoir.

"This little brother, are you from the capital? I'm curious, what are you looking for?"

Through the half-man-high reeds, Guo Fei caught a glimpse of Qingyun at first sight. The unfamiliar face from Beijing was easy to recognize.

As soon as he spoke, everyone except Qingyun stopped what they were doing.

The helpers Qingyun found were all from Yanzhou. Naturally, they were afraid of offending Guo Fei. They looked at each other and gathered around him.

Qingyun knew this would happen.

"Master Guo, this is our first meeting. I am sorry for being rude."

Guo Fei looked him up and down, and when he saw the heroic spirit between his brows, he unconsciously thought of Lu Huaihe's face.

I heard that he brought up this kid?

Guo Fei ignored him. Instead, he turned to the other helpers who were searching and asked contemptuously, "What are you looking for?"

The helpers didn't dare to answer.

Qingyun said: "Master Lu Huaihe has lost his trace here, and I have been ordered to find him. If I have accidentally offended Master Guo, please forgive me!"

There was a look of majesty in Guo Fei's eyes, which contained a hint of warning. All the people that Qingyun had brought immediately scattered.

Seeing this, he was particularly proud, looking down at Qingyun: "Little brother, you are looking for someone? Did you find the wrong place? Half a month ago, I sent people to search the reservoir inside and outside, but did not see any trace of Lord Lu. I guess the body must have drifted to the sea with the current. Today, little brother, you are looking for someone here without my knowledge. Isn't it announcing to the world that I arbitrarily judged the cause of Lord Lu's death?"

"I didn't think so. It's really strange that you disappeared..."

"Huh? Weird? You may not know that Lord Lu didn't fall into the water because he was checking for corpses floating in the reservoir." Guo Fei slightly raised his chin, with an arrogant and extremely contemptuous look, "If he hadn't deliberately seduced my wife, I wouldn't have chased him here in a panic. He did something wrong and was afraid of being investigated, so he jumped into the reservoir. I took both of our faces into consideration, so I used the excuse of checking for corpses. Little brother, as a subordinate, if you continue to investigate, I'm afraid your Lord will lose all his face!"

"My master would never do that! You are slandering me!"

Guo Fei pressed the issue: "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. How do you know he won't do that? Or are you the worm in his stomach, and you know everything he does?"

"I..." Qingyun was speechless and couldn't find any words to refute for a moment.

Guo Fei was feeling proud of this and secretly signaled to the people around him, and someone wanted to step forward and take Qingyun hostage.

"stop!"

A clear and beautiful female voice appeared loudly.

Qingyun turned around and saw that it was Su He walking towards him. Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were cold and her expression was more serious than ever.

Guo Fei looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned by her beauty for a moment.
