Yan Mu asked Da Hei to interrogate the servants in Zhuangzi, but no one saw Miss Liu and her maid coming to Zhuangzi that night. The official searched the Zhuangzi carefully but found no clues.

But how did the maid's body appear on the farm? Where did the sixth girl go?

When I returned to the city, it was already dark. When I crossed the long street, I saw the lights brightly, like a fire dragon. There were various stalls on both sides of the street, with pedestrians in groups of three or five, hawking, bargaining, and laughing endlessly.

Yan Mu asked Dahei and the officers to take the body back to the Ministry of Justice, and asked the coroner to have an autopsy tonight. They went to Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion tomorrow morning to investigate.

Several officials ran away for a day. Since noon, she has not had enough food. She took out a ingot of silver for Dahei.

"You bring some wine and meat back, and you will be working hard tonight."

Dahei caught Yinzi and laughed: "We won't have to work hard if we have the words of the princess."

After sending them away, Liu Yunxiang pulled Yan Mu to the market, "There is a wonton seller in front of me, with thin skin, big filling and fresh soup, which is very delicious."

He said he was going to eat wontons. As soon as Liu Yunxiang walked in, he became interested. When he saw a silk seller, he went over to pick one and put it on his head, and turned around to ask Yan Mu if it looked good.

"nice."

"What about this one?"

“It looks good too.”

"Which one is better?"

Yan Mu directly paid the money to the vendor, "I want both."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "I like it when I thank you, my husband gives me, and I like it when I give me."

As he said that, he plugged both silk flowers and continued walking forward with Yan Mu's arms in his arms.

When I went forward, I saw someone selling rouge and gouache. Liu Yunxiang had a gouache shop himself, and still happily went forward to pick it. There was an old woman selling tiger-head shoes next to me. Liu Yunxiang took a look. It happened that Zhou Lihuai's wife Pan was choosing in front of the stall.

"Madam Zhou." Liu Yunxiang called out.

Pan turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Liu Yunxiang hurriedly grabbed her.

Pan smiled, "I didn't expect to meet you in this night market."

"My husband and I are wandering around." Liu Yunxiang looked back and saw that Yan Mu had already walked in front and was waiting for her in a quiet corner. She turned around and smiled at Pan, "Maybe men don't like to buy things with us."

"Your Highness is here with you at least, and my family will never agree."

"By the way, how is Dr. Zhou? I haven't seen him these days."

Pan sighed, "He was very well-behaved. He wanted to come to the door to thank His Highness, but the Imperial Hospital didn't know what urgent matters were, so he sent him to another place."

"Go to another place?"

"No, the letter from the night came, I simply packed up two pieces of clothes and left."

Liu Yunxiang frowned. Even if there was an urgent matter, it wouldn't be so urgent.

When Liu Yunxiang saw Pan picking up a pair of tiger-toed shoes, she took them over and looked at them, and said, "These shoes are so exquisitely embroidered."

"Yes, I like it, too."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Pan's belly, "How many months have you been?"

"It's almost six months." Pan said with a smile.

Liu Yunxiang returned the tiger-head shoes to Pan, "The night market is crowded and messy. My wife is getting older, so it's better to visit such places less."

Pan said embarrassedly: "My husband is not at home, and my parents-in-law have also returned to my hometown. I live in such a large mansion. Except for talking to the maids around me, I can only read books and stare blankly at other times. I am so bored."

"If your wife is bored, you can come to the palace as a guest, and my house is lively."

"With this princess' words, I'm very thick-skinned."

“Welcome anytime.”

Liu Yunxiang said a few words to Pan, but was afraid that Yan Mu would be anxious, so he left first. When he came to the corner of the wall, he didn't see Yan Mu. Liu Yunxiang exclaimed and walked forward again, walked to the Baiyu Bridge, and saw Yan Mu standing there, carrying a lantern in his hand.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Why aren't you waiting for me?"

"A little boy just came over and told me that someone was waiting for me at Baiyu Bridge."

"Who is waiting for you?"

"I didn't see anyone, but a little girl came over and gave me the lantern."

Liu Yunxiang looked down and saw that the lantern was quite unique in shape, and there was also begonia on it.

"Hmph, begonia represents lovesickness. Have you provoked another girl?"

Yan Mu's mouth twitched, "The little girl said that the person who gave her the lantern was a man."

"Ah? Why are you even provoking men?"

"Talking nonsense."

Liu Yunxiang looked around and didn't see anyone, so she grabbed the lantern from Yan Mu's hand, "No matter who gave it to you, now this lantern is mine."

Yan Mu had no objection, "Let's go and eat wontons."

The one who sells wontons is an old man. He is in the alley across the Hua Street. The peddlers are tired for a day and like to eat a bowl of hot wontons here. Some of them accompany their owners to Hua Street. The servants guarding outside come to eat a bowl of when they are hungry at night.

When Liu Yunxiang and the others came, there was no one in the stall because it was still early.

Two bowls of wontons were served quickly. When Liu Yunxiang saw that Yan Mu was not very interested, he scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to his mouth, "Try it."

Yan Mu's face turned red, "I'll do it myself."

"Hurry up, I'm very tired with my hands."

Yan Mu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he bowed to take the soup.

Liu Yunxiang yelled, "You drink mine, you will feed me a sip."

Yan Mu hummed, and knew that Liu Yunxiang liked to be tricky, so he cooperated and scooped up a spoonful and fed it to her.

There was wind in the aisle, and a storm blew over and blew out the lantern.

Liu Yunxiang threw it aside, not caring.

The two were eating, and two scholars came over dressed up and ordered two bowls of wontons from the old man.

"Brother Li, I've asked about it today. If it's not full, if the house is too expensive, or if we join forces with a few fellow villagers to rent a yard. After all, there is still one month before the autumn examination, and we have to wait for the results to be released. In this way, it will take at least two months."

"Living a yard in Shengjing is expensive, and renting a yard is expensive. All the rich people go to live outside. All of us are from poor families. Everyone's idea is to live in the Jiangnan Guild Hall for one day. Although it is broken everywhere, there are snakes, scorpions, insects, and ants, which are not a place for people to live at all."

"It rained two days ago, and I had no place to occupy my house, and a lot of books were wet."

"The same is true in my house."

The two scholars sighed as they spoke, "The Nanzhou riots, and the imperial court said they would surrender talents without restraint, but they looked down on the candidates from Nanzhou. The Jiangnan Guild Hall has been disrepair for a long time, so the imperial court should not know."

"Hey, food and accommodation are still a trivial matter, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that none of us can pass the exam."

"Shh, I dare not say this."

"I know you and I know it very well."

The two scholars ate very quickly, as if they were very hungry, and there was not even the soup left. After eating, they hurried back to study.

"The third prince is in charge of Qiuwei, and he is afraid he doesn't have the ability to do this," said Liu Yunxiang.
