As soon as he came out of the house, Sheng Nanzhi found an open place where he could not be easily eavesdropped by the secret guards, and called the person who stayed in the yard to watch Mo Tao: "Do you know where my master is now?"

"Send him a message for me, and tell him I have something urgent to discuss."

On the day Li Yueru gave birth, her master met Li Yueru and also predicted the fate for her and Sheng Yunrou.

If something happened that day that made Li Yueru find ways to deal with everyone who had contact with her that day, did her master know about it?

After arranging everything, Sheng Nanzhi returned to Prince Yi's Mansion.

In the attic bedroom, the bedding was fresh and soft. It was already late, but for some reason, Sheng Nanzhi couldn't sleep.

I toss and turn, but I always feel like something is missing.

After she subconsciously reached out her hand to touch her side, but only felt something cold, she suddenly realized that it was Shi Huaizhi.

She felt that what was missing was Shi Huaizhi.

Although she had not been married to Shi Huaizhi for long, and Shi Huaizhi had been in a coma and pretending to be dead, the presence of the warm body beside her was indeed very strong every night, and she had gotten used to it during this time.

But when Sheng Nanzhi thought of what Shi Huaizhi had done, said, and his attitude towards her, her heart turned cold again.

Men are not good people.

Since she was able to get used to Shi Huaizhi's presence, she could naturally adapt quickly to his absence.

Having said that, it still took Sheng Nanzhi a long time before he finally fell asleep.

When I first fell asleep, I slept very restlessly.

While she was sleeping, she seemed to be hugging something. The thing was just the right size and very warm. She subconsciously rubbed it and finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Sheng Nanzhi woke up and looked around unconsciously. There was nothing next to her. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was in the attic by the lake.

After breakfast, Sheng Nanzhi lay down on the couch under the window. She picked up a book and prepared to read for a while, but she heard hurried footsteps coming up the stairs: "Princess, something bad has happened."

Sheng Nanzhi frowned and looked over: "What's the matter?"

"News came from the Sheng Mansion that Concubine Liu is missing!"

"What?" Sheng Nanzhi stood up suddenly. How could Aunt Liu disappear?

Nanny Jin also frowned: "Madam Liu, is she the princess's biological mother?"

"Why did he suddenly disappear?"

She was used to seeing all kinds of petty palace fighting tactics in the palace, and she was considering more: "Could it be that the Sheng Mansion came to invite the princess to return home yesterday, but was rejected by the princess. The Sheng Mansion felt that they couldn't lose face, so they used this method to force the princess to return home on their own initiative?"

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed her eyes. This was indeed something Li Yueru could do.

but……

"Even if that's the case, I have to go back."

Nanny Jin nodded: "Yes, we have to go back."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I will accompany the princess back."

"If the Sheng family really uses such low-brow means to lure the princess back to the palace, then I have my own way to deal with it."

Sheng Nanzhi asked someone to prepare a carriage and returned to the Sheng family with Nanny Jin.

Sheng Lin had already left the court and was probably called back to the mansion by Li Yueru. At this moment, he and Li Yueru were standing in the front yard, with several people kneeling in front of them.

Seeing Sheng Nanzhi coming in with several servants, Sheng Lin glanced at them and frowned.

Li Yueru has always been someone who can't hold back. She rolled her eyes and started talking: "Princess Yi is so arrogant now. Yesterday, I sent someone to invite Princess Yi back to the palace, but she refused to come back. Now that Concubine Liu is in trouble, I finally get to see Princess Yi..."

Sheng Nanzhi ignored her sour words and interrupted her directly: "Daddy, what's going on? Auntie is missing? How could she disappear so suddenly?"

Li Yueru saw that Sheng Nanzhi didn't take her seriously, and she almost exploded immediately: "I haven't even finished speaking yet, and you dare to interrupt me? You are so bold!"

Nanny Jin, who was following behind Sheng Nanzhi, immediately spoke up: "Madam Sheng, you are indeed very brave."

"Although Madam Sheng is the Prime Minister's wife, as far as I know, she doesn't hold any imperial decree."

"But the princess is a member of the royal family, a first-rank consort. What right does Madam Sheng have to speak to her like that?"

Li Yueru grew increasingly angry and turned to look at Nanny Jin: "I'm her legal mother! What's wrong with me teaching her a lesson? How can a servant like you have the right to speak?"

Sheng Nanzhi laughed secretly in her heart. She knew that Li Yueru would react like this.

She did it on purpose, to annoy Li Yueru.

But she showed a panic expression on her face, and hurriedly said: "Mother, this is Nanny Jin who is beside the Concubine Mother."

"What……"

What mother?

Li Yueru wanted to say something, but she reacted immediately.

Sheng Nanzhi married Shi Huaizhi, so the mother she mentioned was most likely Concubine Hua.

Nanny Jin who was beside Concubine Hua?

Li Yueru's face changed and she looked over. It was indeed Nanny Jin.

She had seen this before when she was with Concubine Hua, and not just once.

But she was only angry just now and didn't pay attention to Nanny Jin's appearance at all. How could she have imagined that the personal nanny beside Concubine Hua would be with Sheng Nanzhi?

Her expression changed again and again, and she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Sheng Lin glanced at her before changing the subject: "Yesterday I told Concubine Liu about your pregnancy. I told her that after I return home from court today, I will bring her to visit you at Prince Yi's mansion."

"According to the housekeeper, early this morning, Madam Liu sent someone to inform him to prepare the carriage. She was going out of the house to buy some things to nourish you."

"She was fine along the way. The coachman said she went to a few shops to buy some things and got on the carriage safely."

"When the carriage arrived at the gate, the passengers waited for a long time, but no one got out. When they opened the door, they found the carriage empty. The person had disappeared long ago, leaving only the clothes she had worn when she left the house."

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed her eyes and said, "How could someone just disappear in broad daylight?"

"Where is the carriage?"

Sheng Lin pointed to the carriage parked nearby and said, "It's right there."

Sheng Nanzhi walked over quickly. The carriage door had been opened, and the situation inside was clearly visible. There was nothing else in the carriage except a set of clothes.

She sniffed gently and found no strange smell in the carriage. It seemed that no one had used drugs or anything like that in the carriage.

“Everyone who left the house with Concubine Liu today is now here.

"In addition to the groom, Madam Liu also brought a maid and two attendants. They all said that on the way back, they didn't notice anything unusual, nor did they hear any sounds like struggling or crying for help."
