"What's the use in being anxious? I heard that it is a servant of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion who had something to do with it? I would like to see how he could burn the fire to the Lord Hua Guo's mansion using only a servant. " Lady Hua Guo said softly.
Yun Shang gradually calmed herself down at her words. "But we can't sit still and wait for death. I have my hands on the matter of the Ministry of Justice. Now the corpse of Young Lady Liu is still in the corpse room. I'll have someone check her up again to see if there's anything new about her body."
Hearing this, Lady Hua Guo's smile deepened. "His lordship praised you to me after he came back. He said that the best fortune for Qingyan is to marry you. Although you are a princess, you are gentle and kind. Besides, you are not like an ordinary lady who only knew the four arts, such as lyre playing, chess, calligraphy, and embroidering. I've heard about the battles in the KY City and the Jingyang City. Many generals of the state of Xia also think highly of you, and we are relieved to have you help Qingyan. "
Yun Shang was surprised. A smile emerged on her lips after that. "Grandmother made a mistake. It's my pleasure and luck to have Prince Rui."
On the way back to Prince Rui's mansion, she happened to meet Liu Yinfeng. Yun Shang didn't know who was outside the carriage, but Liu Yinfeng stopped Yun Shang's carriage.
"Your Highness, Mister Liu wants to see you." The coachman said loudly outside.
Yun Shang was surprised at that. She asked Qian Yin to open the door, and saw Liu Yinfeng standing outside the carriage. She looked around, and saw a crowd of people, because they were in
the downtown.
Yun Shang frowned and looked at the handsome and gentle face outside the carriage. She was silent for a moment and said softly, "what can I do for you, Mister Liu?"
Liu Yinfeng looked up at Yun Shang, and then lowered his eyes again. "I want to ask your highness, did Prince Rui send a message to you or not yet?"
Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat at his question. Her eyes turned serious immediately. "No, Mister Liu..."
There was a silence for a while before Liu Yinfeng continued, "have you sent someone to check Prince Rui's current situation then?"
Yun Shang also lowered her eyes and thought for a while before answering, "No, I haven't." After thinking for a short moment, she asked in a low voice again, "Mr. Liu, have you received any news about Prince Rui?"
Liu Yinfeng shook his head and said. "I just felt worried as Prince Rui has been out for a long time with his troops and no news came back. That is why I asked if he had been writing to you or not."
Qian Yin bowed her head and thought for a long time before she said hesitantly, "Your Highness, do you still remember that Mister Liu came to see you not long after his highness left the Jin City? But you thought it was against the rules to meet a man as his highness was not at home. So you didn't see him."
Yun Shang glanced at Qian Yin and nodded her head. It was about Liu Yinfeng?
Qian Yin whispered then, "after the Butler left to deal with the matter, your highness went to take a nap. Then the Butler came. He saw that your highness was taking a nap, so he didn't disturb her but handed me a letter, saying that Mister Liu said that he must deliver it to your highness. Thinking that her highness was still taking a nap, I put the letter on the desk of the outer hall and left to do other things. On my way back, I had forgotten about the letter as the Lady Hua Guo had sent us the invitation to the birthday party. I completely forgot to tell you. I suddenly remember it when I heard Mister Liu ask about his highness today. "
Yun Shang frowned at her words. As far as she knew, Liu Yinfeng wouldn't bother to ask the butler to hand over the letter to her if there was nothing more important. And the letter must have something to do with the prince Rui's going to the Ya clan, as he suddenly stopped her carriage and asked her two questions out of nowhere.
"Ask the servant who is in charge of cleaning here to check if she have seen the letter." Yun Shang turned around and told Qian Yin.
Qian Yin hurriedly responded and went out.
After a short while, Qian Yin returned to Yun Shang's room with a more serious frown on her face. "The maid who cleaned the outer room told me that she had saw the letter on the ground, not on the desk. Since the letter was not put on the table, it was probably left on the ground by wind. She thought the letter was a thing that your highness didn't want, so she cleaned it up. I'm afraid the letter can't be found now."
