After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

At this point, Lai Fu smiled reassuringly, "So, Miss, you can rest assured. Even our own people might not be able to get accurate information. Butler Xiang is reliable, so you can have complete peace of mind."

These words calmed Jiang Yuyue's unease somewhat, and she was even more impressed by the housekeeper's meticulousness.

She had only given simple instructions not to reveal the itinerary, but she really didn't expect that Steward Xiang would be so thorough. In this way, even Prince Jing would probably not be able to find Mo'er easily.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyue's expression turned slightly cold.

She wasn't sure how long she would continue this childish game with Xie Jinglan, but based on the situation in her previous life, the old emperor was nearing his end, and the struggle for the throne was about to begin. Sooner or later, Xie Jinglan would revert to his identity as Prince Jing.

At that point, they probably won't be able to maintain their current peace.

As for Mo'er's future, Jiang Yuyue had already made up her mind. Even if Xie Jinglan was indeed Mo'er's biological father, the child was born to her, Jiang Yuyue. Even if the two parted ways in the future, she would not hand Mo'er over to Xie Jinglan.

Jiang Yuyue's guess was indeed correct; the person who was following her today was indeed sent by Prince Ning, Song Yunming.

The thugs waited there after the carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, but Jiang Yuyue did not come out after a while, and the carriage left on its own. This made them feel uneasy.

The group immediately split into two groups. One group continued to follow the carriage, while the other group sneaked into the Xie family's courtyard. However, Jiang Yuyue had already escaped from the alley in the backyard and disappeared without a trace. They couldn't find her anywhere.

Realizing they had lost track of the person, the group was filled with anxiety, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to report the matter to Song Yunming.

"Your Highness, I was ordered to follow the woman who came out of Wanfu Temple. She took a carriage all the way to the gate of the dilapidated house where the Xie family had been settled."

The leader, somewhat trembling, reported the situation to him, "She got off the carriage and went into the courtyard. The servants saw that her carriage was still parked at the gate, so they thought she would come out again. But after a while, the coachman drove away on his own. So the servants split into two groups to look for her. The coachman drove the carriage around Jinling City aimlessly for a long time, but there was no one in the carriage. As for the courtyard..."

The man swallowed hard, and seeing Song Yunming's increasingly grim expression, he hesitated to continue. "The servants have gone into the courtyard to look for her, but they haven't found her. It seems she probably slipped out through the back door."

"idiot!"

Song Yunming flew into a rage and swept everything off the table.

Ever since he suffered a loss at Song Jinglan's hands that day, he had been holding a grudge and couldn't swallow his anger. So he had been keeping watch outside Wanfu Temple. But now that he finally had a clue, it was lost by the bunch of useless people under his command!

If we can catch her, we'll definitely be able to figure out a lot of things!

The men standing nearby, seeing his anger, quickly knelt down and dared not utter a sound.

A moment later, Song Yunming turned his gaze to them and said coldly, "Did you see her face clearly?"

No... I never have.

The servant answered cautiously, "The woman was wearing a veil the whole time, so we can't be sure if she is indeed the Jiang Yuyue Your Highness is looking for..."

These words made Song Yunming's face even more gloomy.

Even though his men didn't see the person's face, Song Yunming was certain that it was Jiang Yuyue!

He had been to the dilapidated house where the Xie family used to live. It was in a remote location. If someone had no connection with the Xie family, why would they go to such a place?

The thought of this made Song Yunming grit his teeth in anger. The last time he led his troops to surround Wanfu Temple, his scouts mentioned that a woman wearing a veil had gone to Wanfu Temple. It seems that Jiang Yuyue has seen Song Jinglan at least twice!

"Your Highness."

The man who had spoken earlier tentatively said, "This Jiang Yuyue has probably already pledged allegiance to Prince Jing. Otherwise, how could she have survived that day? Moreover, according to what the Prince Consort reported earlier, since Prince Jing stayed by her side under the alias Xie Jinglan, he was probably after the treasure. Now we've searched everywhere for the treasure but haven't found it..."

As he spoke, the man cautiously observed Song Yunming's expression again, "I'm afraid she has already offered it to Prince Jing."

"Bitch!"

A sharp killing intent suddenly surged in Song Yunming's eyes, and the anger in his heart was clearly about to devour his reason.

At this moment, he hated Jiang Yuyue to the core. If he had known he would be toyed with like this by this woman, he should have just taken her directly. If it weren't for this bitch interfering, he wouldn't have repeatedly fallen into such a miserable situation!

Jiang Yuyue's once stunningly beautiful face now appeared repulsive to him. Song Yunming clenched his fists, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips, as if he could already foresee Jiang Yuyue's tragic end.

Once he catches Jiang Yuyue, he will definitely torture her severely, make her wish she were dead, and let her understand what the consequences will be if she goes against him!

"Search the entire city for Jiang Yuyue. If you fail to capture her, you will all be dead."

Song Yunming's face was contorted with rage, his features even becoming somewhat distorted. The hatred in his heart surged like a tidal wave, making everyone in the room feel a chill down their spines, and even the air seemed to freeze.

……

Jiang Yuyue, escorted by Lai Fu, had safely arrived at her doorstep.

After helping Jiang Yuyue out of the car, Laifu gave her a few more instructions.

“Miss, since you were followed today, I think it would be best for you to stay home as much as possible these days. Even though your current residence is secluded, there’s always a chance something might happen, so you must be careful.”

Jiang Yuyue nodded in thanks for his kindness, but she wasn't worried about her safety at all.

Now she lives with the dignified Prince Jing, so even if someone were to sneak into this place, they couldn't easily harm her. Rather, her greatest danger now is Xie Jinglan, who lives in the next courtyard.

Watching the car drive away, Jiang Yuyue pushed open the door and entered. As soon as she entered, she saw Xie Jinglan in the courtyard, holding a book in his hand, looking quite relaxed.

His handsome and refined features bear no resemblance whatsoever to those of the Xie family; no wonder.

This scene caught Jiang Yuyue's eye and made her feel inexplicably amused.

In the past, whenever she went out, Xie Jinglan would always return before her, pretending that nothing had happened. It was precisely because of his pretense that she did not suspect anything. Now it seems that his disguise was full of loopholes.
