"Ahem, let's not talk about other nonsense, let's get down to business."

When Shan Ying was getting annoyed, Shan Tu beside him coughed lightly and reminded him.

"Oh, oh, right, let's get down to business first." After Shantu reminded her, Shanying remembered that she still had something important to say, so she hurriedly continued, "Although I didn't get to talk to the master and servants of the Mu family, I did have a few words with the owner of the Qingzhou Inn."

Jiang Fugui raised his eyelids, raised his chin, and motioned Shan Ying to continue.

"Originally, Young Master Qingzhou and his mother were supposed to stay for a few more days before leaving. Unexpectedly, an urgent report arrived the night before yesterday from a trusted aide of the Mu family. They said that Young Master Twelve of the Mu family was not well, and asked the mistress to take Young Master Qingzhou back home quickly to make arrangements for the aftermath."

"What happened next?" Jiang Fugui and Shantu exchanged glances, their voices filled with uncertainty. "Meaning...about the funeral?"

Shan Ying shook her head and answered seriously, "Whether it's a funeral or not, I haven't found out yet. However, the Mu family's mistress needs to bring Young Master Qingzhou back to the mansion within five days, which shows that the situation is both serious and urgent."

Within five days?

Jiang Fugui's brows deepened. To travel from Fengluo City to Yuncheng by land, it would take about fifteen days if one rode at full speed without rest. If there were any delays, it would take more than twenty days. Although traveling by water would be faster, it would still take about twelve or thirteen days.

The urgency was so great that the twelfth young master of the Mu family might breathe his last at any moment.

As a result, Mu Qingzhou would probably be in trouble as well.

"Shan Ying, don't rest any longer. Have dinner quickly and then go to the Qingzhou Inn. Officially announce your name and have the innkeeper inform the Mu family's mistress. If Young Master Qingzhou needs anything, come to the Jiang Mansion to find me immediately. There's no time to waste!"

"Ah? I get humiliated every time I go back, yet Young Miss still wants me to go? Doesn't that mean I'll always be humiliated? I don't want to go... Besides, it's getting late..."

Shantu quietly moved forward, raised his hand and tugged at Shanying, saying sternly, "Young lady asked you to go, so go. Don't make excuses. If you don't go now, it will be really late."

Shanying was a little afraid of Shantu.

Although both of them had served in Old Lady Jiang's courtyard, she knew how powerful Shantu was, especially her ability to be intimidating without even getting angry, which was exactly the same as that of Madam Qingyan and Madam Qingyun.

After a quick dinner, Shan Ying left first, and then she reluctantly returned to the Qingzhou Inn to convey Jiang Fugui's original words.

Just after noon the next day, the mistress of the Mu family set off with Mu Qingzhou as scheduled, and boarded the Mu family's boat to return to Yuncheng.

Jiang Fugui failed to meet the Mu family last night, so he asked Shan Ying to go out to the Qingzhou Inn early in the morning to block them. As you can imagine, she was turned away again.

Jiang Fugui has searched, reminded, and stopped him. She has tried her best to do everything she should do. Whether Mu Qingzhou can survive or not depends on God's will. She is powerless for the time being!

Ever since Jiang Fugui deliberately made a scene about old clothes in front of Old Lady Jiang three days ago, new clothes have been continuously delivered to Beili Garden. In addition to the normal clothes for the four seasons, there are also many fancy clothes and skirts needed for banquets, along with matching accessories and shoes.

What is even more exaggerated is that Jiang Fugui has three or four fur coats of different styles for use in winter, and as many as seven or eight small heaters for warming his hands!
