A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 363 Ending (32)

Mentioning Song Shuyu, Mu Qingcheng's smile faded.

Since entering the hall, Bai Zhizhi had been leaning against the corner between the door and the wall, remaining silent. Her gaze occasionally drifted towards Lu Xun, but Lu Xun's attention was clearly focused on Mu Qingcheng, and he did not notice her presence.

Mu Qingcheng was preoccupied with her own thoughts and had no intention of listening to Shen Che's nonsense any longer. She changed the subject and asked, "Has Lin Shuban been found? How is the investigation going?"

Lu Xun frowned, “The Emperor mobilized trusted imperial guards, palace guards, and eunuchs to search the entire palace, but they couldn’t find any trace of Lin Shuban.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingcheng's gaze fell squarely on Lu Xun's face, her eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

Lu Xun was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes and chuckled, "Do you recognize who I am?"

"It's good to switch back." Mu Qingcheng nodded slightly. She didn't want to face Lu Zhao anymore. That kid was uncontrollable. If he started calling her "sister-in-law" again, she was afraid Song Shuyu would rush out of jail and beat her up.

"Did I scare you?" Lu Xun stared at her, his eyes filled with a thousand words, yet he couldn't express them in detail.

Mu Qingcheng curled her lips and returned him with a reassuring smile, "No, I'm pretty good at handling things."

Their conversation left onlookers completely bewildered and confused.

Fortunately, Mu Qingcheng stopped talking and gestured with her chin towards Jiang Zhan, "How are things on your end? Any news?"

"Not yet." Jiang Zhan looked ashamed. "We've sent out a lot of people, both inside and outside Beijing, practically digging three feet into the ground, but we haven't found much."

Registrar Zhang presented a scroll of investigation results, saying, "Master Mu, take a look. These are all the clues we can find so far regarding Lin Shuban."

“If we still can’t find Lin Shuban’s whereabouts, I suspect that either someone helped him hide, or he has been silenced.” Xu Chunshan sighed. Mu Qingcheng was taken aback. The words “silenced” made her uncomfortable, but she didn’t show it. She took the case file and studied it carefully.

During this time, Lu Xun pulled Shen Che aside and whispered, "Young Master Shen, you won't turn a mistake into a reality and make tomorrow's wedding a reality, will you?"

Lu Xun always appeared dignified and solemn in front of outsiders, something Shen Che had long been accustomed to. But at this moment, a dangerous chill lingered in Lu Xun's eyes.

Shen Che was annoyed and retorted, "Is Lord Lu asking this on behalf of Song Shuyu?"

“No, for myself.” Lu Xun said bluntly, “Qing’er is my fiancée, and we are engaged.”

Shen Che was stunned, "What? You, you guys... that, that Song Shuyu, he..."

Lu Xun coldly replied, "The competition between Brother Song and me is none of Prince Shen's concern. I only want to confirm whether Prince Shen will go back on his word."

"I..." Shen Che choked on his words, feeling uncomfortable as he couldn't get them out. "I'm just a tool. Whether it's real or fake depends entirely on what Miss Mu does. I'm just responsible for cooperating with her."

However, Lu Xun warned him with a fierce look in his eyes, "No matter what Qing'er does, you are not allowed to take this for granted! Otherwise, your death is imminent!"

He had asked Registrar Zhang, and it turned out that Shen Che and Mu Qingcheng's marriage certificate was not registered with the Jingzhao Prefecture. Therefore, he was still able to stand here calmly and confront Shen Che.

Shen Che was anxious, angry, and aggrieved. She turned her head and shouted, "Miss Mu, are you going to do anything about Lord Lu? He's bullying me!"
