The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

It rained all night.

As dawn approached, it became only slightly smaller.

Ruan Shuyan leaned against the door of the inn, looking at the rain curtain outside that connected the sky and the earth, her brows furrowed.

At this time, the waiter of the inn walked past her and said, "Don't worry, my guest. The rain will stop at noon at most. It shouldn't have much impact on you."

Ruan Shuyan tilted her head slightly: "How do you know it won't have much impact on me?"

The waiter scratched his head and said, "You are a group of people traveling on horseback, and you have nothing to hold you back. Even if you stay for half a day, as long as you catch up in the afternoon, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

In the end, Xiao Er wasn't so sure anymore.

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips and her gaze fell on the rain again. She indeed had nothing to hold her back, but there was danger on the other side.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the waiter immediately turned around and left.

Not long after, the leader of the secret guards walked behind Ruan Shuyan and said, "It's not suitable to travel on rainy days."

Ruan Shuyan didn't look back: "I know, by the way, what's your name?"

"nameless."

The leader of the secret guards replied, his eyes also falling on the rain outside: "If you are really worried, we will set off when the rain is lighter."

"Just do as you say."

Ruan Shuyan left some words and turned back to her room.

An hour later, Wuming sent someone to notify Ruan Shuyan, and she immediately got up and went downstairs to the inn.

The horses outside had been prepared, and the group mounted their horses and continued north along the official road.

Two days later, they arrived at a small town.

Ruan Shuyan was exhausted, and her haggard face could not be concealed at all: "No news yet?"

"No."

Wuming's answer made Ruan Shuyan close her eyes involuntarily. She couldn't find anyone and had no news. If this continued, something big would happen.

Just then, two people walked by.

"The old doctor in town was killed. I heard that the arrow went straight through his head. It was a tragic death."

"No way? Why would someone kill a doctor for no reason?"

"Who knows? Anyway, he died in that inn. I guess he was implicated. It's scary to say that there would be murder in this small town."

"They appear everywhere, but the town is relatively peaceful. It's just a pity for the grandson of the old doctor, he's only seven years old, so pitiful."

Ruan Shuyan and Wuming exchanged glances and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

It is indeed incredible that a murder occurred in a small town, but on the other hand, could it be the traces left by Xie Yuchun and others?

"Follow this clue."

Wuming bowed, and soon the news was confirmed.

"According to the old doctor's grandson, someone asked the old doctor to go to the inn to treat his injuries, but he never came back."

Ruan Shuyan pinched her brows and was about to speak when there was a sudden knock on the door.

They both looked over at the same time, both on alert.

Wuming asked: "Who is it?"

"I am a waiter from the inn, come and bring some hot water to the lady."

Wuming turned his head slightly: "You want it..."

Before he could finish his words, Wuming realized the problem.

"You didn't ask for hot water."

Ruan Shuyan nodded: "There is something wrong with the people outside."

Wuming drew his sword and said, "Go inside."

He held a knife in one hand and opened the door with the other, and saw a young man standing outside the door with a smile on his face, holding a wooden basin in his hand.

The two looked at each other, and the young man smiled and raised the wooden basin: "Sir, I'll bring you hot water."

Wuming looked at the wooden basin, then at the boy: "Put the basin on the ground."

The boy was stunned: "Put it on the ground, don't you want to send it in?"

"unnecessary."

Hearing this, the young man nodded, put the basin on the ground, and turned to leave.

His efficiency made Wuming's vigilance seem a bit exaggerated, but Wuming did not dare to take it lightly.

After making sure that the boy was really gone, he bent down and grabbed the basin.

"boom!"

The door was closed, blocking out the view from outside.

Ruan Shuyan looked down, somewhat surprised: "Are you really just here to deliver hot water?"

Wuming nodded: "That's the case for now."

Ruan Shuyan put the matter aside and asked Wuming to search for Xie Yuchun around the town.

She always had an inexplicable feeling that Xie Yuchun would come back.

Even if he didn't come back, he should have provided some clues.

On the other side, Shang Yun, who was disguised as Xie Yuchun, shook off the assassin behind him, wandered around with wounds all over his body, and stepped into the town he had been to before.

He looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual around him, then walked towards the nearest shop.

After a conversation, the shop owner handed him a note.

Shang Yun took the note and left. When no one was around, he unfolded the note and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The emperor actually asked his wife to come over!

If this news were known to the adults, I'm afraid...

Thinking of this, Shang Yun took a deep breath. No matter why the emperor did this, he had to find his wife now.

Otherwise, the lady will be in danger.

Just then, a ragged child suddenly appeared nearby.

Shang Yun didn't take it seriously at first, but after he took a few steps, the child's eyes were always on him, and he realized something was wrong.

"You killed my grandfather."

Shang Yun was startled: "You, you are the grandson of that old doctor?"

He never expected that after returning to the town, he would run into the old doctor's grandson.

Thinking of the old doctor whose head was pierced by an arrow, Shang Yun fell silent.

"What happened that day..."

"You killed my grandfather."

The child repeated what he had said, and Shang Yun was speechless.

After a while, he stretched out his hand to the child: "I didn't kill your grandfather, but if you want revenge, I can help you."

The child stared at his hand, then suddenly raised it and hit it hard: "I'm going to kill you."

Shang Yun shook his arms up and down: "You..."

"Sanlang, where are you?"

As he opened his mouth, a male voice came.

Shang Yun was about to leave without thinking, but the child in front of him suddenly jumped up.

"Help, bad guy, bad guy!"

The next moment, a black figure rushed over, and when he saw Shang Yun, the figure stopped.

"Are you Mr. Xie's man?"

Shang Yun froze: "Who are you?"

“Wuming, I came here with Madam Xie.”

Wuming was quite surprised. He was ordered by Madam Xie to come and pick up the old doctor's grandson to the inn. He didn't expect to find that the person was missing when he arrived. Now the person has been found, and Mr. Xie's people have also been found.

"Madam is here too?" Shang Yun was so shocked that he didn't even care about the child hanging on his body.

"Yes, where is Mr. Xie?"

"he……"

Shang Yun suddenly fell silent. He looked at Wuming warily and said, "I need to see my wife."

Wuming didn't care about his vigilance, turned around and motioned for him to follow.

"Take the child with you."

Soon, two adults and a child arrived at the inn.

When Ruan Shuyan saw Shang Yun, she immediately asked about Xie Yuchun's whereabouts.

"I don't know where the Lord is."
