After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 127 127 Maintenance
However, Shen Qingci still failed to see the contents of the letter the first time he returned to the courtyard.

Lin Yunzheng left and returned.

It's just that this time there was no smile on his face anymore, he only hid half of his body behind the door, saw Shen Qingci approaching from a distance, and then slowly walked out.

"A word."

He had a solemn face, with tangled and unbearable brows, Shen Qingci's heart sank when he saw it.

"What happened?"

For some reason, at that moment, Lin Yunzheng clearly didn't say anything, but she somehow felt that the letter on her chest was extremely hot.

She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest.

Lin Yunzheng took a step forward, and without looking into Shen Qingci's eyes, he turned his head unnaturally and said, "I just sent a letter to that crazy girl, and someone sent me a message."

"I know you are looking forward to Mr. Jiang's return earlier, so I let people quietly watch the news over there."

Seeing his hesitant, hesitant expression, Shen Qingci almost went crazy.

She strode forward and subconsciously grabbed his arm.

"Tell me quickly! Did something happen to him!"

Because of his anxiety, Shen Qingci had a lot of strength in his hands.

But Lin Yunzheng didn't avoid it, and let her hold it. He sighed and said helplessly: "I heard that they encountered Zoushan on the way back to Beijing, and the road and bridge collapsed..."

Shen Qingci was stunned: "So?"

Lin Yunzheng couldn't bear to look her in the eyes, turned his head away, and looked away, "Several officials and followers were washed down the Lijiang River, and Lord Jiang was among them...he is still alive or dead."

Shen Qingci was completely dumbfounded.

How could her father's life and death be unknown!
He also has Liu Wu, who is good at martial arts, by his side.

By the way, Liu Wu!
Shen Qingci was dizzy from the news, and his reaction was half a beat behind.

I was taken aback for a moment before I remembered that Liu Wu was called back to Beijing in advance by him.

"A Ci, Mr. Jiang is an auspicious person, and he will be fine."

"Manpower has been arranged to salvage along the way, and I believe there will be news soon."

……

What Lin Yunzheng said, Shen Qingci couldn't understand a single word.

All she knew was that her father's whereabouts were unknown.

"A Ci?"

Seeing that Shen Qingci didn't respond in the slightest, Lin Yunzheng became anxious and wanted to tug on her sleeve.

However, before Lin Yunzheng touched the corner of her clothes, Shen Qingci, who had already recovered, hurriedly took out the letter from his arms.

When she unfolded it with the most uneasy mood.

Thinking that since her father was asking Liu Wu to come back early to deliver this letter to her, he must have noticed something important and wanted to tell her.

But when Shen Qingci saw the content above, he was dumbfounded.

Lin Yunzheng, who was next to him, was also dumbfounded.

Because, there are only a few large characters on it - fulfilling the marriage contract.

It can be seen that the writer should be in a hurry and panic.

The handwriting is a bit scribbled, and even the ink on the side is very messy.

But Shen Qingci still recognized it at a glance, it was her father's handwriting.

Under what circumstances did he write these words and asked Liu Wu to return to Beijing quickly and hand them over to her?

Shen Qingci is unknown.

Even these four words made her feel like falling into the clouds.

Fulfill the marriage contract.

With whom?
Jiang Yuwan didn't have any engagement with her, only Shen Qingci's identity, she had a marriage gift from a saint.

So, does her father want her to follow the imperial decree and marry the third prince Sheng Tingye?
But why?
For a moment, Shen Qingci was anxious, restless, and at a loss.

Lin Yunzheng, who saw the letter, was not in a better mood, and he walked around in a hurry.

"Aci, tell me, could Mr. Jiang have misunderstood you? He knows your temperament, and he is afraid that you will take risks because you refuse this marriage, so he wants you to marry with peace of mind?"

"If that's the case, since my third cousin has made an agreement with the sage, the royal family will not only not blame you, but will compensate you at that time. Mr. Jiang's worry is unnecessary."

For some reason, Lin Yunzheng's heart beat fast.

Afraid that Shen Qingci would just nod his head, he complied with the contents of the letter.

Although there was his selfishness in this persuasion, from his point of view right now, he really only thought about these things.

"A Ci?"

Lin Yunzheng looked at Shen Qingci cautiously.

"You must not be stupid."

She didn't speak for a long time, and his heart seemed to be roasted on the fire.

"What do you think?"

Shen Qingci folded the letter paper, narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to find out the truth about my father's disappearance."

Who is going to kill her father?
The second prince, Sheng Tingjing?
Putting aside her previous worries, he wants to monopolize the Jiang family's relationship.

What she heard last night in Haitang Courtyard was that Sheng Tingjing wanted to take advantage of Lin Yue, and was extremely afraid that Lin Yue would go to Jiangbei to investigate the case of embezzlement of money for disaster relief.

Does this mean that he or someone under him was related to this case and moved the money?
As for her father's trip, what evidence is likely to come across?
For a moment, Shen Qingci was in a state of confusion.

But no matter what, Sheng Tingjing had the biggest suspicion.

She wants to check him out.

However, he is the dignified second prince after all, so how can he be so easy to get close to him.

Shen Qingci frowned.

If she can successfully marry into the royal family, with the status of the third concubine, she will have more time and opportunities to contact him...

Could it be that this is the purpose of her father asking her to fulfill the marriage contract?
But as soon as this idea came up, Shen Qingci denied it.

With her father's temperament, he would only try to protect her, so as not to let her take the risk to avenge him.

and many more!
Protect!

This word just came out of Shen Qingci's mind, and she was taken aback.

Compared with all the previous speculations, she was more inclined to believe that the reason why her father asked her to fulfill her marriage contract to marry the third prince was to protect her.

But if this is the case, why is he so sure that she can protect her by marrying the third prince?
In the extremely chaotic mind, Gu Qiuli suddenly appeared.

Besides him, who else wants to harm himself?
Could it be that his father also knew the purpose of Gu Qiuli and those people?

"A Ci?"

Before Shen Qingci could figure out why, Lin Yunzheng woke him up: "Don't scare me!"

Shen Qingci shook his head: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Dad's life and death are unknown, so she can't fall.

"A Zheng, is your cousin out of town?"

As soon as the words came out, Shen Qingci himself denied it first: "I should have left by now."

Moreover, since the case was investigated in secret, it must be done quietly so that no one would make a fuss.

Lin Yunzheng was puzzled: "You want him to help find Mr. Jiang?"

Shen Qingci nodded: "That's right."

Since he was going to Jiangbei, and he was investigating a case related to her father, Shen Qingci should ask him for help.

But now that he has already left, she can only wait until she goes to Huaishu Lane and let the guards over there bring him a message.

I'm not sure if he'll help, but I'll have to try.

Lin Yunzheng raised his hand and patted the back of his head: "That's right, why didn't I think of him, I'll go back right away and have someone deliver a letter to him."

At the end, Lin Yunzheng said again: "He knows that I always care about the Jiang family's affairs the most, so he won't think too much about it. In addition, I sent someone to look for it as soon as I received the news. Don't worry too much."

Shen Qingci nodded: "Alright, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Being affirmed by Shen Qingci, Lin Yunzheng subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and said that there is no need to be so polite, but he realized that she was depressed at the moment, and he grinned inappropriately with his big white teeth.

His heart sank along with Shen Qingci, and he worried: "Then what are you going to do now?"

Seeing Shen Qingci walking away quickly, Lin Yunzheng wanted to follow her, but it was difficult to follow her out of the yard in a blatant manner.

If someone sees it, it will hurt her instead.

Shen Qingci waved his hand: "I'm going to see Liu Wu, and I'll tell you later."

Lin Yunzheng had no choice but to nod in response.

Shen Qingci quickly walked out of the yard, and went to the front hall again.

There was no need for her to point out a maid to call someone, because Liu Wu was already waiting there.

He turned around in a hurry.

Seeing Shen Qingci approaching from a distance, she just knelt down: "Miss Shen, I just heard the news that my master... my master..."

A rough guy who could hardly cry at this moment.

"Forgive me for being bold. I would like to ask Miss Shen to tell the master what he wrote in the letter. Can you tell me a thing or two, so that I can investigate along this direction."

Shen Qingci raised his hand and gave him a vain support.

She shook her head and said, "I don't know what Master Jiang means by such a nonsensical sentence."

"Maybe it's because I checked my pulse before, and I was afraid that my depression would be bad for my condition, so you told me to follow the trend?"

Shen Qingci sighed and said, "What are your plans next?"

Liu Wu bowed and stood aside, lowering his eyes and said: "I'm here to bid farewell to Miss Shen, the master's whereabouts are unknown, I can't live here, I'm going to find him."

"Live to meet people..."

He choked up the second half of the sentence, unable to speak.

Shen Qingci sat down at the side, glanced at the little maid who was peeping outside the door, lowered his voice and said, "When Master Jiang handed you the letter, did he say anything else? Or what kind of state was he in at that time?"

"Where did you separate?"

Facing Shen Qingci's questioning, Liu Wu said in a stern manner: "It's just in front of Qiushui Town, and it seems that we can return to Beijing in half a day, but the superior said that the team will have to rest for two days before entering the capital to face the saint."

"When the master asked me to deliver this letter to Miss Shen, he didn't give any special instructions."

"At that time, I thought that the master would come back in just two days. I never thought..."

At the end, Liu Wu sighed heavily.

"I'm going to find the master now!"

With that said, he got up to leave.

Shen Qingci suddenly stopped him.

"You just said, Qiushui Town?"

She frowned.

Could it be such a coincidence?
Seeing the seriousness on her face, Liu Wu nodded: "Yes, they are resting in Qiushui Town."

And asked Xiang Shen Qingci, "Miss Shen also knows Qiushui Town?"

Shen Qingci shook his head: "I don't know, but my nurse is from Qiushui Town."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Wu's eyes lit up.
