So he turned to Ye Fuxun and said: "Cousin Ling, since they are not here, why not come back another day."
Ye Fuxun stared inside blankly, obviously wanting to go in and see if Bai Yuxian was really there, but it was not good to break into someone else's house like this, so he could only endure it for now. "That's the only way."
Ye Fuxun took the portrait from Qingyu and stepped forward to ask, "Have you ever seen this person in the house?"
The guards took a look and shook their heads and said they had never seen it before.
Ye Fuxun was immediately lost and speechless.
Situ Yunhao said to the guard: "Brother, when your lady or Uncle Lin comes back, please tell me that I will come back to see you before noon tomorrow."
The guard nodded and said: "Yes, I will definitely bring the message to you."
Ye Fuxun took another look inside the Zhou Family Fort with a sad expression, and reluctantly followed Situ Yunhao and others.
Several people stayed in an inn in the city.
In fact, Zhou Yan had long heard that someone was inquiring about Bai Yuxian's whereabouts and had already arrived in Qingcheng. She was frightened, so she took Bai Yuxian to Zhuangzi in the suburbs under the pretext of convenience.
Bai Yuxian now lives in Zhuangzi. Even if outsiders come, they can't see him.
"What?" Zhou Yan thought about it and guessed that the person he was bringing was probably Yu Siling. She panicked and asked quickly: "Is there a very beautiful girl among those people?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then he recalled the appearance of those girls. He nodded and said, "There are three girls in total. They came with portraits of Mr. Bai. I thought they should be Mr. Bai's family members or
My friend, I came here specifically to find him."
"Then how did you answer?"
The guard then replied: "According to your instructions, young lady, the villain and others said they had never seen this person and did not reveal Mr. Bai's whereabouts."
Zhou Yanda and Dadi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, you did a good job."
"However, Mr. Situ said that he will come to visit before noon tomorrow."
"Okay, I understand." Zhou Yan thought for a while and stepped in. Now that Yu Siling has come to the door, she won't be willing to leave without getting a result, and hiding all the time is not an option. Therefore,
To get rid of her forever, you have to make her give up.
Ever since, Zhou Yan got up the next morning and got ready to receive guests.
Sure enough, before noon, the guard's announcement came from outside, saying: "Miss, Mr. Situ is here."
"Invite them to the main hall to entertain you. I'll go there immediately." Zhou Yan took a few deep breaths and strode towards the main hall.
In the main hall, Situ Yunhao and Ye Fuxun were sitting at the small table drinking tea, while Qingyu and Lian Shuang stood silently behind them, looking at the surrounding environment calmly. This was their habitual behavior.
When you arrive in a new environment, you need to look around carefully.
Not long after, I heard a light and sweet voice: "Situ Yunhao, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"
You don't hear his voice before you see him. Zhou Yan is a lively and cheerful person, and she has always been like this.
"When did you know that you have to apologize for neglecting a guest?" Situ Yunhao said before he saw anyone.
Ye Fuxun stood up and turned around to look, only to see her walking in in a rose-red dress. He first saw Situ Yunhao, and then moved his eyes to her.
"Hey, Sister Ling, are you here too? What a rare visitor!"
Ye Fuxun smiled slightly and said, "Sister Zhou, long time no see!"
"Yes, it's been a long time," Zhou Yan walked between them and said with a smile, "It's been several months since we last parted. How are you doing?"
Ye Fuxun nodded, and the smile on his face gradually faded, slowly becoming covered with sadness.
Zhou Yan pretended not to know anything, glanced at Situ Yunhao blankly, and then asked: "By the way, why didn't you see His Highness King Chen? He was not traveling with Sister Ling?"
Several other people present were surprised. She would ask this, which meant that Bai Yuxian was not here at all, and she might not even know about Bai Yuxian falling off the cliff.
Situ Yunhao asked: "Why, haven't you heard about the battle between the smoke and clouds? King Chen fell off the cliff, his life or death is uncertain, and he has not been found yet."
"What, King Chen fell off the cliff, his life or death is uncertain? When did this happen?" Zhou Yan widened her eyes and looked at him in shock, and then looked at Ye Fuxun, "Is this true? King Chen really
Can’t find it?”
Ye Fuxun nodded and said: "Yes, but I have just gained some insights in the past two days."
Situ Yunhao asked suspiciously: "You, the eldest lady of Zhoujiabao, don't know about such a big matter? Aren't you, Zhoujiabao, always the most well-informed?"
Zhou Yan felt guilty and could only cover it up with anger and shock. She glared at Situ Yunhao and said, "Zhou Jiabao is only well-informed about matters in the Jianghu. How can he pay attention to such matters between the two countries?
Also, I have been cultivating behind closed doors in other villages recently, so I know nothing about the outside world. How could I know that something like this happened to King Chen?"
As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears and wiped away the tears with a sad face.
Situ Yunhao has known her since childhood, so he knows her very well. In the eyes of Ye Fuxun and others, Zhou Yan is sincerely sad, but in his eyes, he feels that it is more like pretending.
He had felt this way ever since her face was filled with shock.
He had no intention of comforting Zhou Yan and said to himself: "But we also received news that King Chen is in Zhoujiapu. Do you really know nothing?"
Zhou Yan felt even more guilty, so she could only cover herself up with a higher level of anger: "What? Where did this news come from? If King Chen were in Zhoujiapu, would I be so sad now? What's more, King Chen
Still alive, how could I not tell Sister Ling?"
These words made Situ Yunhao suspicious. Zhou Yan liked King Chen so much, and probably in order to keep him, she knew his whereabouts and didn't tell him.
But when he thought about it again, he felt something was wrong. Even if Zhou Yan wanted to keep King Chen, King Chen would not obey him unless he was injured or for some other reason.
"Is it true that King Chen is not here with you?"
"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?" Zhou Yan said anxiously, while trying to control her emotions. She was afraid that the other party would see any clues. She just felt that this was the most difficult thing to do in history.
Because Situ Yunhao knew Zhou Yan well, he felt that she was a person who never lied. His suspicion only lasted for a moment. After that, he thought he was being suspicious and did not continue to ask questions.
Ye Fuxun said with a frustrated look: "Then it seems that this news is false. The prince is not in Zhoujiapu at all. It is still unclear whether he is alive or dead."
"It's only been a few months, how could something like this happen?" In order to show her sincerity, Zhou Yan wiped away her tears again.
Situ Yunhao patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be too pessimistic. King Chen is just missing. He is probably still alive."
