Li Ruo looked at the person who lowered her head and answered in a low voice, frowned, then raised her chin and asked:
"Look into my eyes and answer again."
Du Juan is the maid who has served Shentu Xinxin since she was a child. It can be said that the two of them are like sisters. When she saw Li Ruo's appearance, she frowned slightly:
"Are you Li Ruo?"
"Now I'm asking you, where did Shentu Xinxin go?"
Li Ruo clearly felt that she was hiding something, so she couldn't help but yelled out.
"The young lady has been in the room since she came back and has never gone out."
Du Juan stared into her eyes and finished the sentence word for word.
"Du Juan, let me tell you, you can put aside your anger towards me now. If you don't tell the truth, Shentu Xinxin, she may never come back."
"You, you're talking nonsense, I'm just going out to play for a few days..."
Du Juan spoke hurriedly, and then immediately covered her mouth with both hands.
"How many days are you going to play outside? Who are you going with? Ouyang Fanghua? Or that grown-up sister, Sister Rong?"
Li Ruo stared at Du Juan closely and asked.
"I don't know..." Du Juan turned her face away and said through gritted teeth.
"It's not like she ran away with some wild man."
"You are talking nonsense. You are not allowed to slander my little sister. She has loved Mr. Sikong since she was a child, and her whole heart can only pretend to be for him. How could it be possible..."
Dujuan couldn't say those two words, so she stopped, but her eyes were full of anger.
"Now Mr. Sikong, whom she admires, is here. It's a pity that he rarely comes to see her, but she is not here."
Li Ruo knew that no matter what he said, she would not speak. He wanted to force a confession? He really couldn't do anything to a kind-hearted child, so he had to do it from another aspect.
"Mr. Sikong, Miss Ouyang didn't elope with anyone else. She was just too sad, so she went to Miss Ouyang."
Du Juan looked at the cold-faced Sikong Xuan at the side and hurriedly explained that she knew how much Shentu Xinxin loved Sikong Xuan, so she couldn't let him misunderstand her no matter what.
"Fourth Prince, you and Shen Tushao go to Ouyang Mansion quickly and search for Ouyang Fanghua."
Li Ruo lowered her eyes. She felt that Shentu Xinxin would probably not be in Ouyang Mansion. She needed to know more, but Ouyang Mansion had to go.
Dongfang Yao and Shen Tushao nodded. After they left, Li Ruo looked at Du Juan beside him, calmed down, and then said:
"Du Juan, whether you believe it or not, if you don't tell them all, your little sister will most likely not be able to come back..."
She looked up at Dujuan, saw that she was startled, and then said:
"Now, I need you to tell me exactly what your little sister said to you when she came back and before she left, her expression and what she took away."
Du Juan just saw the two people leaving in a hurry, and the solemn expressions on Li Ruo and Sikong Xuan's faces now. Her heart skipped a beat, and then her expression became anxious.
"Dujuan, don't panic, take a few deep breaths, think about it carefully and don't miss anything."
Li Ruo looked at her panic expression and spoke immediately.
Du Juan took a few deep breaths following her gestures and began to slowly recall Shentu Xinxin's every move, word and deed since she came back.
Li Ruo frowned and listened carefully, then there was horror in her eyes.
