Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Chapter 482 Yan'er and Mo Liu Fight

The woman smiled subtly, then tore open the envelope, took out the letter, and began to read.

The letter was very concise and clear, stating: "The man has arrived in Jizhou. Bring the 'rabbit' back immediately."

After reading the letter, the woman folded it back up and put it back in the envelope, then gently closed it.

She raised her head, glanced thoughtfully at Baili Jiyan who still hadn't looked away, and then walked towards him.

The woman stopped in front of Baili Jiyan and said softly, "Let's go, we need to speed up and make sure we get into the city before dark."

Upon seeing this, Baili Jiyan quickly followed.

The two walked side by side. After taking about two steps, Baili Jiyan suddenly turned to look at the woman beside him and asked, "Why did those bandits capture me and send me to the yamen in exchange for money?"

The woman paused slightly, but quickly resumed her normal pace.

She turned her head, a faint smile on her face, and replied as if she had expected it: "I've been holding back from asking all the way, but I couldn't help it in the end?"

The woman casually placed a hand on Baili Jiyan's shoulder and explained, "The reason is simple: you are a government official. The bandits took you to the yamen, and after the people there verified your identity, they will give you money to ransom you."

What exactly was the grudge between those bandits and the government officials?

“Now that you’re in my hands, this is none of your business.” The woman tilted her head slightly, casually deflecting his question.

"Then why did you arrest me?" Baili Jiyan persisted, pressing the question again, his voice unconsciously rising a few decibels.

He leaned forward slightly, with a desperate air about him, trying to find a clue from the woman's reaction.

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes flashed with impatience. She reached out and yanked his collar roughly, her action carrying a hint of warning: "You'll find out when the time comes. If we don't hurry on our way now, I'm afraid I might break your neck."

After saying that, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes, as if to say that she was not joking.

……

The sun gradually set in the west, and the sky slowly darkened.

Yan'er ran all the way back, looking hurried.

Upon seeing Su Yu, she quickly stepped forward and said, "There were two battles outside the city a while ago. If the information is correct, Baili Jiyan was arrested at that time, and there has been no news of him since."

Although there were many pedestrians coming and going on the streets of Jizhou at night, it was a world apart from the bustling and lively Yunjing City.

The lanterns along the street cast a dim yellow light, swaying gently in the night breeze, illuminating the hurried or weary figures of passersby.

Perhaps because of the previous weapons incident, the entire city seemed to be shrouded in a shadow of unease, and the city's security is still not very good.

As evening falls and the chill deepens, there are not many people to be seen on the streets.

Only a few vendors remained, shouting their wares at the top of their lungs, their voices echoing through the empty streets, making the desolation all the more palpable.

In this situation, it's really difficult to find out anything.

Su Yu stood quietly by the window, her gaze fixed on the few pedestrians passing by on the street below, and a sense of unease gradually welled up in her heart.

Yan'er walked over lightly, holding a cloak in her hand. She draped it over Su Yu's shoulders and said softly, "It seems that we can only wait for them to send us another message now."

Su Yu nodded slightly and sighed, "Alright, waiting a few more days won't hurt. You've had a long and tiring journey, and it's already late. You should go back to your room and rest."

Yan'er nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, you should also rest early."

Not long after, Mo Liu returned. He walked up to Su Yu, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, I have bought all the shops you asked me to find. These shops are located in the east, south, west, and north of the city."

Su Yu took the contract, glanced at it casually, and then replied indifferently, "I understand. Thank you for making this trip. You should go and get some rest. We can discuss other matters tomorrow."

Mo Liu respectfully responded and slowly withdrew from the room.

He did not heed Su Yu's instructions to go and rest, but instead turned and walked towards the room where Yan'er was staying.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Yan'er opened the door and was slightly taken aback to see that it was Mo Liu. She then took two steps back, gesturing for Mo Liu to come inside first.

Yan'er closed the door, turned around, and asked with a puzzled look, "What are you doing here so late?"

Mo Liu stopped in his tracks, staring directly at the other person, and asked, "I saw you today; you were inquiring about Lord Baili. So, is the Princess's visit to Jizhou because of him?"

Mo Liu was completely unaware of what they had experienced in Qingshan City and Chi Kingdom, but he had heard rumors about the marriage agreement between the Baili family and the Su family.

For some reason, at that moment, an extremely bold and illogical idea suddenly popped into Mo Liu's mind.

However, he did not voice this idea, but remained silent.

After a brief pause, Mo Liu asked again, "Did Lord Baili encounter some misfortune and specifically ask the Princess for help?"

When she left the Prince's mansion, the Prince clearly told her that the Princess was going on this trip to open a new branch.

If it really was Lord Baili who was in trouble, then why did the Princess Consort try to cover it up and not tell the Prince the truth?

Looking at Mo Liu's gradually furrowed brows, Yan'er seemed to sense something unusual.

Her face darkened, and she asked in an icy voice, "What nonsense are you thinking? The Princess Consort is not that kind of person!"

"I have absolutely no doubt about the Princess, I'm just worried that some people with ill intentions haven't given up yet!" Mo Liu suddenly became agitated.

Yan'er was too lazy to talk to him anymore. A hint of impatience appeared on her face. She waved her hand lightly, making a "please" gesture, and said coldly, "I'm tired and need to rest."

Upon hearing this, Mo Liu curled his lips slightly and replied, "In that case, I have no choice but to report the truth to Your Highness."

"How dare you!" Yan'er's eyebrows shot up in anger upon hearing this, and she shouted.

Before she finished speaking, she flashed forward and attacked Mo Liu.

Mo Liu had obviously anticipated this, and quickly dodged Yan'er's punch by turning to the side. He then reached out and caught the punch firmly.

Immediately afterwards, the two engaged in a fierce fight in the room, which was neither too big nor too small.

For a moment, fists and palms clashed and crisscrossed, each side exchanging blows without giving an inch.
