After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

The Duke looked at Ye Qingyu and said, "Speak of the devil, it's true. It's already difficult for Cao Rongzhen to endure this whole night and half the morning. Please invite Lord Cao over."

Ye Qingyu smiled, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Lord Cao was dressed in a blue brocade suit, standing straight and walking like the wind. As soon as he entered the study, his eyes fell on Ye Qingyu.

He bowed to the Duke and said, "Duke Shen, is this your granddaughter?"

Ye Qingyu stood up and saluted, "My humble daughter Ye Qingyu greets the Commander."

The Duke said, "She is my granddaughter. Sir Cao, if you have anything to say, please sit down and speak."

Cao Rongzhen was impatient, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Since Miss Ye was able to get your grandfather to deliver the letter to me, and even made me wait all these days, I hope Miss Ye can give me a proper answer."

Ye Qingyu looked at the man in front of her. He was obviously just over forty years old, but his hair was gray, his face was stern, and there was an indelible sadness in his eyes.

Cao Rongzhen was a man who valued love and friendship, and he had a deep affection for his wife. He had only one wife in the backyard, and they had two sons. He finally had a little daughter, and he spoiled her like a treasure until she was seven years old. On the fifteenth day of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, while visiting lantern festivals, the child disappeared. Over the years, she should have been full of vigor and vitality, but she gradually grew old. He searched for his daughter day after day for years, but could not find her whereabouts.

Ye Qingyu also overheard Shen Mingxiu and that man talking about this in her previous life, teasing Cao Rongzhen and saying that he was a fool. He had searched all over the country, but he didn't expect that his daughter was right under his nose in the capital.

The man kept saying how much the little girl loved him, how touching her bloody back from being whipped was, and how sweet and moving her cries were...

He also said that in order to thank Princess Yongjia for sending him such a beauty, he gave her a salt business worth 200,000 silver coins.

When Ye Qingyu heard them talking about such a living being and the father who was suffering because of the loss of his daughter in such a joking manner, her heart was as cold as ice. However, before she could find a chance to report the news to Commander Cao, she was imprisoned by Shen Mingxiu.

Ye Qingyu looked at the old and sad Lord Cao in front of her, who looked just like the Lord Cao she had met in her previous life, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart.

What she couldn't do in her previous life, she was given the opportunity to complete in this life.

Ye Qingyu suppressed the smile on her face. "Commander Cao wants an answer, and I will give it to you. However, I wonder if Commander Cao will believe what I say."

Cao Rongzhen's voice was hoarse, his eyes were determined. "As long as there is any clue, I will check it out. Just tell me where my daughter is."

Ye Qingyu said, "I can tell Master Cao everything I know, but I also have a request."

Cao Rongzhen's expression remained unchanged. Over the years, in his quest to find his daughter, he would agree to anything, no matter if it was true or false, that person asked for. As long as he could do it, he would do it in exchange for the clue. This time was no exception. "Of course."

Seeing him acting so normal, I couldn't help but sigh, "Your daughter is in a dry well in the side courtyard of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion."

"Marquis Wuyang's Mansion!"

Cao Rongzhen and the Duke both exclaimed and looked at Ye Qingyu in disbelief.

How could it be the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion? Could it be the Marquis of Wuyang?

Ye Qingyu's expression turned cold, and she spoke with pity, "It's Cui Xuan, the heir of Wuyang Marquis. There are many girls like your daughter in that dry well. I wonder if you can still identify your daughter among them."

Cao Rongzhen's face was filled with shock. "How could it be him? Bastard! He truly is a beast in human form!"

Cui Xuan, the son of Marquis Wuyang, is considered a well-mannered gentleman in Kyoto. No matter his family background, appearance, or conduct, he is a good husband candidate in the eyes of every lady. It can be said that he is a man that many ladies want to marry, just like Shen Mingxiu. Moreover, he works in the Hanlin Academy, so he can be said to be a graceful and elegant man in the eyes of everyone.

No one could believe that under such a jade-like face, there was such a filthy heart like a devil.

He had a habit of torturing and killing young girls, and it is unknown how many lives he had killed.

His uncle was the salt transport historian and had always loved him very much. In order to win over his uncle, Shen Mingxiu became very good friends with him. In her previous life, Cui Xuan was still alive and well until her death.

There was no trace of blood on Cao Rongzhen's resolute face, and his eyes, filled with sorrow, were pregnant with a storm of anger and resentment towards himself.

"In, in the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion?" His voice was already extremely hoarse.

Ye Qingyu nodded reluctantly.

When the Duke heard Ye Qingyu's words, his face darkened, "You beast!"

He had also seen Cui Xuan before. He looked like a well-educated and noble young man. He never expected that he would be such a beast!

Cao Rongzhen clenched his fists, blood dripping onto the ground. He didn't seem to feel any pain at all. He stood up and bowed, saying goodbye. "I'll go back and investigate. If what Miss Ye said is true, I'm willing to take my life even if it means you take my life."

Ye Qingyu stood up and saluted, and the Duke personally escorted Cao Rongzhen out of the Duke's Mansion.

Wanqiu saw that the young lady looked unhappy. She had been outside since the young lady entered the Duke's study, so naturally she didn't know what had happened inside.

She knew that her words were of little importance and that the young lady had to worry about important matters. She was unable to help and could only do what she could for the young lady. The master and servant returned to the yard, and Wanqiu rushed to the big kitchen to find the pastry cook to make the young lady's favorite pastries.

Ye Qingyu was looking at the accumulated account book, and Wanqiu gently brought tea and snacks to her side.

"Miss, please have some snacks first. Eating something sweet will make you feel better."

Ye Qingyu raised her head, eyes full of smiles, "Thank you Wanqiu."

"By the way, did Divine Doctor Ge go to Prince Chu's Mansion?" Ye Qingyu just remembered this matter. She was really confused from sleeping.

Wan Qiu smiled and said, "I asked the Third Young Master to take people to the Prince of Chu's Mansion early this morning."

Ye Qingyu perked up, "Cousin, did you tell me about Divine Doctor Ge's diagnosis and treatment results?"

Wan Qiu was stunned for a moment, "I don't know about this, the Third Young Master hasn't returned home yet."

Ye Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's just go to Prince Chu's Mansion."

Now that she is the legitimate future Princess of Chu, it is only natural for her to visit His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. Now the people of the entire Kyoto know how much she loves His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, so it is only natural for her to be eager to go to the Prince of Chu's Palace.
