Shen Rou was extremely anxious and rode at full speed all the way. She finally returned to Yunzhou and quickly came to the breakfast shop, but the shop was closed and locked.

She had been holding onto the illusion that the man was lying, but now her heart jumped to her throat when she saw the shop closed and locked.

He hurried to the next door and shouted: "Master Yang, Doctor Ye..."

Master Yang and Doctor Ye were in Ye Qing's room. They suddenly heard Shen Rou's voice and hurried out. Seeing Shen Rou, they were both excited and sad.

"Princess, you are finally back. Your grandmother, Xiaoxue, and Xiaonan have all been kidnapped."

Shen Rou's heart instantly sank to the bottom. She anxiously asked, "Grandma, when were they abducted? Did they leave any message?"

"They were kidnapped by men in black the night before yesterday. Ye Qing and Fang Yun were seriously injured. Su Yu and Su Luo were injured and went with the yamen runners to chase the men in black. They haven't returned yet."

"Where are Ye Qing and Fang Yun?"

"Fang Yun is recuperating in Su Yu's room, and Ye Qing is recuperating in his own room. Old Ye is changing Ye Qing's dressing now."

"Do grandpa and uncle know that grandma was arrested?"

"I didn't dare tell them because I was afraid the old man couldn't bear it."

"It's right not to tell him. If grandpa comes to the city, you can tell him that I took grandma to the capital. I'm afraid if he knows something happened to grandma and the others, he'll be so worried that he won't be able to eat or sleep."

"I know. But we can't keep this a secret for long. After all, the Chinese New Year is still more than two months away. You can't not come back to celebrate the New Year."

"Let's keep it secret for as long as we can!"

Shen Rou came to Ye Qing's room. Doctor Ye was changing his dressing. Seeing Ye Qing's upper body wrapped like a mummy, Shen Rou hurriedly asked, "Doctor Ye, how is Ye Qing's injury?"

"Ye Qing was seriously injured, with multiple sword wounds on his body and excessive blood loss. If I hadn't treated him in time, even the Great Luo Immortal couldn't have saved him.

Ye Qing saw Shen Rou coming back and wanted to get up, but Shen Rou stopped him, "Don't move, if your wound breaks, you will suffer again."

He said weakly, "My Lady, I am incompetent and failed to protect Grandma, Xiaoxue, and Xiaonan. I have failed your trust and I feel so ashamed of you."

"Ye Qing, you are a human, not a god. The enemy has been planning this for a long time and you can't stop them at all."

"I don't blame you for this. You should take good care of your injuries and take care of Grandpa and Yunzhou's business for me. I have to go to Beiyan to rescue Grandma and the others. I don't know when I will be able to return home, so I'll leave it to you."

Madam Yang asked in surprise, "Princess, why did you go to Beiyan to rescue people?"

"Because I encountered an assassination attempt in Bingzhou, I caught the assassin who told me that my grandmother and the others had been captured and asked me to go to Beiyan to rescue them. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I've come back and learned that my grandmother and the others have been captured, I'm sure that the people who assassinated me and captured my grandmother are from Beiyan."

"Princess, it's too dangerous for you to go to Beiyan alone. I will send a message to the master immediately, and we will discuss countermeasures together when the master arrives."

"That person told me to go to Beiyan alone, otherwise grandma and the others would be in danger."

"They must have had other motives for leading you to Beiyan, and we don't know. If you go to Beiyan alone to rescue people, not to mention saving Grandma and the others, even your own safety is not guaranteed. Even if you rescue someone, without anyone to help you, it will be very difficult for you to escape unscathed."

"I know why they led me to Beiyan. As long as I can find my grandmother and the others, I can bring them back safely."

Shen Rou dared to say this because she had a space. As long as she found someone to put them into the space, she would definitely be able to bring them back safely.

But Ye Qing and Doctor Ye didn't know this and looked at her with worried eyes.

"You should wait for the master to come and go together! After all, the master is the prince of Daqi, the emperor's brother. Even if he goes to Beiyan, His Majesty of Beiyan will be cautious."

"I can wait, but I can't wait for the safety of grandma and my younger brothers and sisters. They are too old and too young to protect themselves. Besides, grandma is old, and if she gets injured on the way, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Does the master know that you are going to Beiyan?"

"I was attacked in Bingzhou. Su Mo sent him the news."

"Master knows you've gone to Beiyan and must be thinking of a solution. Can you wait until Master sends word?"

"I'll go first. If he sends a message, tell him I went to Jizhou."

"Since the people of Beiyan are threatening you with the lives of my grandmother and the others, you will definitely be safe if you don't go to them."

"I can't see my grandma and the others now, and I can't sleep or eat well."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Shen Rou, Ye Qing gave up. "My princess, have a safe journey. Don't worry about Grandpa and the business. If I'm injured, Manager Sun will help me deal with it. The business will definitely not be affected at all."

"I believe you."

Shen Rou bowed deeply to Divine Doctor Ye and the others, "Thank you so much. You helped me take care of my grandmother and my younger siblings while I was away. I, Shen Rou, will always remember your kindness."

"Princess, we were entrusted by the prince. If you want to thank him, then thank him. Besides, you have been granted marriage by the emperor, and you will be husband and wife in the near future. Why should you say thank you when you are a husband and wife?"

"Even if you were entrusted by the prince, I, Shen Rou, am still grateful for your care and guidance for my family."

"You are the princess, the future Princess Mu. How can we bear your worship?"

"Divine Doctor Ye is my sister's master, and Master Yang, you are my brother's master. In my eyes, you are all my elders and are worthy of this respect from me, Shen Rou. When I rescue grandma safely, I will definitely thank you."

Ye Gucheng and Master Yang looked at Shen Rou with eyes full of heartache. She was just a teenager and yet she had to endure so much. Even so, she still gritted her teeth and persevered. Her courage and bravery were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"We'll be waiting for your safe return home."

Shen Rou said with a firm look in her eyes: "Yes, I will definitely bring grandma and the others back safely."

Several people nodded solemnly.

"Ye Qing, take good care of your injuries. I'm going to see Fang Yun next door and then I'll leave."

"Princess, have a safe journey."

Shen Rou came to the next room. When Fang Yun saw Shen Rou, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes suddenly became wet. She sat up suddenly and touched the wound on her abdomen, causing her whole body to convulse in pain.

"Miss, I am powerless to protect grandma, the second young lady, and the young master. I have betrayed your trust."

Shen Rou hurried forward to support Fang Yun and said softly, "Don't blame yourself. The situation was dangerous and you didn't know any martial arts. I'm already very grateful that you stood up for me."

Fang Yun's eyes were full of guilt, but he could only nod helplessly.

Shen Rou continued, "I'll go rescue grandma and the others right away. You can rest and recover. Once you're well, help me look after the shop and grandpa. If grandpa and uncle come to the city, you must help me keep it a secret from them and tell them that I took grandma and the others to the capital for fun."

"I understand. You must bring grandma and the others back safely. I will be waiting for you at home."

"Okay. I'm leaving."

Fang Yun looked at Shen Rou's receding back, tears streaming down his face.

The girl's family treated her like family, even better than family, but she could not help at all. She clasped her hands together and prayed silently for Shen Rou and the others to return safely.

Doctor Ye and Master Yang came to the door to see Shen Rou off. Watching her retreating figure, they sighed deeply and said, "This child is heartbreaking to watch. She's endured so much at a young age that she shouldn't have to. Any other girl would have been crushed by this. Yet, she's still able to handle everything so calmly. She's truly extraordinary."

Master Yang looked at Shen Rou's receding figure and spoke eloquently, "At the age of thirteen, she was able to set out from Beizhou with her grandmother and brother to find her sister. Not only did she find her sister on the way, but she also built such a big business. This is something that no ordinary girl can do."

"She even went to the capital alone to file a complaint against her own father. She acted so bravely that she put justice before her own family. There's no other girl in the whole of Da Qi who is as upright and brave as her."

"This is the first time in my decades of life that I have met such a courageous, decisive, and intelligent girl. If it weren't for Prince Mu taking the initiative, I would have ordered my two sons to take her home to be my wife. As long as she is willing to marry, my two sons will let her choose whoever she wants."

"Don't you even look in the mirror and see how your two boys are qualified enough to match this girl's talent and intelligence?"

"I, an old man, have traveled all over the country and never met such an outstanding girl. How could you, who has never even set foot outside the capital, meet such an outstanding girl?"

"As if she were your daughter. You didn't even look in the mirror to see how you looked like a sly creature, and how you could have given birth to such a beautiful and intelligent daughter."

"How could I be shifty? Back then, I was a handsome, elegant gentleman, the dream lover of countless girls in the capital. I'm just old now, not as unbearable as you say."

"A good man never brags about his past achievements. I was a modest gentleman back then, as gentle as jade. It's a pity that I've become an old man now."

"You're an old man, but I'm not. Although I can't be called a gentleman, I can still be called a mature, steady, and high-quality man, and you can't compare with me."

"If I were to marry and have children now, I might even give birth to a daughter as courageous, determined, and intelligent as the princess. Even if she sacrifices her own family for the sake of justice, I would be willing to do so."

"Old man Ye, you should be careful about your daydreaming. Go back to your room and take a shower and go to bed! You might dream about it. You can also go to the temple and make a wish, but the gods are very busy and may not hear your prayers."

"This is all you have in this life. Let's see if you can encounter such a lucky thing in your next life."

"Are you saying that I will never be able to marry in this lifetime, or that I will never be able to give birth to such an intelligent daughter?"

"You usually seem so smart, why would you ask such an obvious question?"

"You old man, you underestimate me. I'm just too old to flirt with girls from wealthy families. Otherwise, the daughter I gave birth to would definitely be a hundred times or a thousand times better than your two boys."

"You have such old arms and legs that you can hardly even get on the kang, and you still want to flirt with other people's beautiful girls? You're welcome! I'm afraid I'll have to hoist the white sail for you too early."

Ye Gucheng was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight. "Yang Jun, you can say that my medical skills are not good, but you can never say that my body is not good. This is intolerable. Let's fight and see who is older, you or me."

"You're so skinny, with barely any flesh on your body. I'm afraid I'll break your bones if I use too much force, and then I'll have a hard time explaining it to Master Ye."

"You don't have to explain to anyone. Let's go one on one."

"You're already old, but you're still acting like a child. Do you think you're still the same person you were thirty years ago?"

"Whether it was thirty years ago or thirty years later, I've never lost a fight with you."

"Were you fighting? You just stabbed me with a needle, leaving me bedridden for days, unable to move, and then you desperately tried to save me."

"I am half responsible for your excellent medical skills."

"It's so funny. I put in so much effort, but you only get half the credit."

"Old Ye, have you forgotten? When you first started studying medicine, who gave you acupuncture? Who tested medicine for you? I almost lost my life when I pierced the wrong acupoint that time?"

"Are you willing to do that? I forced you to do the experiment. Otherwise, would you be willing to do the experiment for me?"

"Who would dare to put their life in the hands of a medical student? I'll just let you give me acupuncture and test medicine."

"That's why I've never charged you for treating you all these years."

"Given our relationship, you still want to take my money? Are you obsessed with money? Just because I tested drugs on you when I was young, my two sons have average looks and average intelligence. You should be grateful that I didn't come after you."

"A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse is born to dig holes. How can you expect this inferior seed of yours to produce any good seedling? It's a blessing that the seed has sprouted at all."

"Ye Gucheng, how dare you make fun of me? You don't even have low-quality seeds."

"I didn't want to get married and have children."

"It's too late to get married now. Seeing other people's outstanding children makes me regret my decision even more."

"My disciple is also very smart and has a bright future."

"Yes, yes, your disciple is smart, okay? Xiaonan is not bad either. If he becomes the second or third best student in the high school, I will be proud of him."

"I think the three sisters of the Shen family will not be underestimated in the future."

Thinking about their sisters' current situation, I feel worried about them.
