Song Yao glanced at Huaying who was standing by the tub and said, "Huaying, go see who it is."

"Okay, miss." Huaying nodded and immediately left the screen and came to the door.

Huaying didn't open the door, but asked first, "Who's knocking?"

"We are government officials, here to look for Miss Song. Is it Miss Song inside?" A gentle voice sounded outside the door, and the tone sounded polite.

Seeing that the people outside were government officials, and that they were looking for Song Yao, Hua Ying wondered if Song Yao had offended someone. After thinking carefully, she realized that her young lady had not offended anyone, so she spoke up, "I'm not her. Do you have anything to do with her?"

"I want to ask her about the Blood Mist Cult. Please go and call Miss Song." The man's voice outside the door was still very polite.

"Okay, please wait."

Huaying also said something politely, then came to see Song Yao behind the screen, "Miss, someone from the government is looking for you. They said they want to ask about the Blood Mist Cult."

Song Yao was stunned. She had only told the shopkeeper downstairs about the Blood Mist Cult. No one else knew about it. Could it be that the shopkeeper had reported it to the police?

Thinking about the evil deeds of the Blood Mist Cult and wanting to catch them as soon as possible, he did not blame the shopkeeper.

Song Yao said, "Go out and tell them. I'll be out right away."

"Yes!" Huaying nodded, walked to the door, opened the bolt, went out, and then closed the door.

In front of Huaying, there were two people standing.

One was wearing the clothes of a constable, his name was Wen Lian, and the other was a man wearing the clothes of a yamen runner, his name was Qin Fang.

Huaying glanced at Qin Fang, then at Wen Lian. "Are you looking for my sister? She's bathing in the house. Sorry, I can't come to see you now. You need to wait a while. She should be coming out soon."

"Thank you." Wen Lian bowed.

Huaying smiled sheepishly and said, "You're welcome. Why don't you wait inside? Come this way."

She made a gesture of invitation, and Wen Lian and Qin Fang followed her to Song Yuanbo and their room.

After Huaying introduced the identities of Wen Lian and others to them, Song Yuanbai asked them to come and sit down, and then poured them tea.

Wen Lian sat down, picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

Su Zhen was worried that something had happened, so she asked, "Is there anything wrong with you two?"

Huaying explained, "Madam, they are here to see Sister Ayao. She is bathing and should be here soon."

Su Zhen became even more worried after hearing Hua Ying's words, and asked hurriedly, "What do you want from my daughter?"

Wen Lian replied, "We are here to ask her about the Blood Mist Cult. Madam, don't be nervous or afraid. We have no ill intentions."

Hearing this, Su Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Song Yao came into the room.

Huaying introduced the identities of Wen Lian and Qin Fang to Song Yao.

Song Yao nodded slightly, walked over to stand beside Wen Lian, and without further ado, asked directly, "Are you looking for me to know about the Blood Mist Cult? But I've only heard of the Blood Mist Cult. You can't get anything out of me."

Wen Lian stood up and looked at Song Yao, "Miss, can you tell me everything you know about the Blood Mist Cult? Thank you."

Song Yao nodded and told them everything about the female ghost she had encountered in Xiongzhou City and the disappearance of the young girl.

After finishing speaking, Song Yao said, "So we heard about the Blood Mist Cult from that woman. We also heard that the Blood Mist Cult is evil and has no conscience. As for other matters of the Blood Mist Cult, sorry, we don't know."

Wen Lian asked, "Did that woman tell me why she took those girls away?"

Song Yao shook her head. "No, we didn't ask the government officials."

Song Yuanbai said, "Why don't you go to Xiongzhou? That woman has been captured by the government. You can go and ask her."

Although Song Yao and his companions stayed in Xiongzhou for quite some time, they did not go to the government to inquire about the follow-up, so they did not know whether the woman had said anything about the Blood Mist Cult.

Wen Lian thought he could get something out of Song Yao, but unexpectedly, he didn't get any useful information.

However, Song Yao said that they could go to Xiongzhou to ask. If that was the case, they would need to go back and ask the adults. If it was possible, they would go to Xiongzhou.

Song Yao added, "But you have to be careful. The plague in Liuhe County hasn't completely disappeared yet, and you have to pass through Liuhe County to get to Xiongzhou, so it's very easy to get infected. I suggest you wait two months before going to Xiongzhou. That way, you won't be infected with the plague."

This is important news.

Wen Lian bowed and said, "Thank you for the information, young lady. Since there is no other news about the Blood Mist Cult, I'm sorry to bother you. Goodbye!"

He called Qin Fang to leave.

When they came out of the house, they were seen by Xiao Yan who was going out.

Xiao Yan entered the room and saw Song Yao there. He casually asked, "Who are they?"

Song Yao looked at Xiao Yan and explained, "They are officials who came to ask me about the Blood Mist Cult. Unfortunately, I don't know much, otherwise I would have told them."

"Okay." Xiao Yan said, "I'm going out. Do you need anything to buy?"

Song Yao shook her head. "No, just buy what you need."

Even if there was something that needed to be bought, Song Yao would not let Xiao Yan buy it because she didn't want to have too much involvement with him.

So now Song Yao only regards him as a teammate. Apart from that, she doesn't want to have any other connection with him.

Xiao Yan knew that Song Yao was being polite to him, so he didn't say anything and turned and left.

After he left, Song Yuanbai looked at Song Yao and said solemnly, "Ayao, Xiao Yan is such a good man, and he's not bad looking either, why do you look down on him? Tell me, if you had been with him in the beginning, how could you have suffered so much now, how could you have endured such grievances?"

Seeing that Song Yuanbo mentioned this matter now, he pinched his temples in annoyance.

Su Zhen looked at Song Yuanbo, "What's the point of saying this now? Really."

Song Yuanbai glanced at Su Zhen and said, "Look at her now. She's in exile with us, pregnant, and divorced from Prince Heng. How hard will it be for her to raise the child alone? If I were to ask you, I'd say Xiao Yan treats her so well and is loyal to her. It would be better for her to be with him."

Song Yao looked at Song Yuanbo with a look of surprise on her face, "Dad, do you know what you are saying? I am pregnant now, and it is Xiao Chi's child. Do you think it is fair for me to be with Xiao Yan? Besides, I don't want others to say that after being with Xiao Chi, I am now with his brother."

Su Zhen echoed, "That's right. Rumors are scary. Some things should be avoided if possible. We're all exiled anyway, so let's not talk about who we're with now. We can talk about these things after we get to Fengzhou and have a good life. I believe A Yao doesn't have the heart to do that right now."

Song Yuanbo said, "If she were with Xiao Yan, Ayao wouldn't be so lonely on the road to exile, so I still suggest that she consider Xiao Yan."

Song Yao didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she stood up and was about to leave when Song Yuanbo's voice rang out from behind her, "Ayao, please think about it."

Song Yao didn't say anything because she didn't want to think about it at all.

On the way back to the house, Song Yao thought to herself, if she was interested in Xiao Yan, she would consider it even if they didn't say it. Unfortunately, she didn't have any such feelings for Xiao Yan, so no matter how good or handsome he was, she wouldn't think about him.
