Shen Qingyi was still confused. Hearing this, he interrupted her with dissatisfaction and said: "It's not good. What's not good? I'm not dead yet. Don't interrupt."
After scolding the man, she turned her head and stretched out her finger, but stopped talking.
"Hey, where did I just say?"
She looked at her wagging fingers, and before she could remember what she wanted to say, she suddenly realized with hindsight that the person speaking seemed to be the maid next to Zhou Mengfu. She woke up from the drunkenness, and there was no more double vision in front of her eyes. He quickly turned around, pulled the maid and said, "What's wrong? What's going on?"
The maid burst into tears and said: "The girl was waiting for Mr. Shen in the Baihua Tower. Suddenly there was smoke. When I woke up, our girl, our girl...she, she was gone."
"Second Young Master Shen is afraid that he has already arrived at Baihua Tower. I am afraid that this matter will not be kept secret from him for long. I am afraid that this matter will alert others and ruin our girl's reputation, so I have to go back to the palace to inform the princess first."
She was crying, almost choking.
"Our girl is weak. Baihua Building is your territory, Princess. Those people took our girl away easily there. What should we do if the other party intends to do harm to our girl?"
She didn't say it directly, but Shen Qingyi and Chu Zhengyang looked at each other and understood what she meant.
Shen Qingyi frowned when he saw this scene and stepped forward: "Brother, please calm down. What's the use of blaming Siqi for this matter? She didn't know about this in advance, not to mention that the other party obviously knew Mengfu's itinerary. , you and I never expected it, how could Si Qi expect it?"
Siqi's boxing and kicking skills were already at the bottom among Kong Shiyi, but he was good at arithmetic and had both sides. He had always been quite afraid of Shen Jingnian. After being scolded, he even lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Master, please forgive me. I really don't know what happened, so I ask the master to give me a chance to atone for my sins."
Shen Qingyi and others naturally thought about this.
If they attack her because they covet her beauty, according to ordinary people's thinking, the Shen family will definitely not attack a girl who lives in the house and is not related to her. Taking her into the house as a concubine can even be regarded as a compliment to her.
Her painting technique was extremely simple, but she clearly painted everyone's facial features and clothing exactly. The Shen brothers and sisters held the dozens of drawing papers and looked at them carefully.
Shen Qingyi and Shen Jingnian were driving side by side on the long street. Shen Qingyi explained on the way: "When Mengfu went to Baihua Tower, she was accompanied by three maids, but the groom in the chess painting accompanied Mengfu inside.
Shen Jingnian said: "We have sent people to look for it. If there is any news, I would have come back long ago."
"How can one atone for one's sins by one's merits?! Even if one of the dignified Kong Shiyi is sitting in charge, a girl cannot be seen. In this way, won't I, Kong Shiyi, become the laughing stock of the world?!"
Shen Qingyi said.
Shen Jingnian was anxious and angry. He was anxious because of Zhou Mengfu's disappearance. He was angry because the dignified Kong Shiyi was completely unaware of Zhou Mengfu's disappearance. He was so frightened that the chess player did not dare to say a word.
After all, now that the Shen family and the Chu family are one family, Chu Zhengyang naturally can't just sit back and ignore Zhou Mengfu's matter. He frowned and said: "Okay, why would anyone know that Miss Zhou went to Baihua Tower alone? This ordinary lady always sits in a sedan when going out, but the other party seemed to have expected this early in the morning. Could it be that someone knew about this, so she specially waited at Baihua Building early in the morning? "
"yes!"
"Won't."
Si Qi nodded and said: "It's true that these are the only things on the painting, the rest is nothing special."
But it was Shen Qingyi who said.
Shen Qingyi said: "Okay, I order you to draw everyone in the shortest possible time. You are asked to draw everyone's characteristics, appearance, the time of entry and exit, and the length of stay. As long as your drawing is correct, today I will forgive you."
Shen Qingyi turned around and said, "Si Qi, do you still remember what the people who came in and out of Baihua Tower looked like today?"
She stood up with her skirt in hand, picked up a pen and quickly splashed ink on the paper. In just three-quarters of an hour, she had a thick dozen of papers and handed them to Shen Qingyi, saying, "Master, please take a look."
Siqi nodded quickly: "I will remember the dress and appearance of every guest who comes in and out of Baihua Tower."
Shen Qingyi said: "Have you not seen Meng Fu yet?"
Shen Jingnian was furious: "How did you do things?! Huh?! Mengfu came here for only a moment and disappeared. How many pairs of eyes are staring at Baihua Building outside? If this matter spreads, what will happen to those snitches? Aren’t you even more interested in stealing?!”
She couldn't think of the reason, but she always felt that something was slightly wrong about this matter, so she simply ordered: "Hurry and prepare your horse for me, I will go to Baihua Tower to investigate in person!"
Shen Qingyi replied: "Since I sent rice grains to disaster areas in the name of Baihualou, Baihualou's business has been booming. Even if a noble lady from the capital wants to buy a customized beaded hairpin and emerald ring, she has to advance three days in advance. Just make an appointment.
Siqi fell to the ground gratefully and said, "Thank you so much, Master!"
"This may not arouse suspicion at first glance, but it is absolutely against the rules for a foreign man to accompany a woman in a boudoir. A closer look shows that this man must be pretending to be a coachman, and he can easily know Meng Fu's itinerary.
"What's more, Baihua Building has been changed from a restaurant to a jewelry store. If someone stays here for a long time, it will definitely attract the attention of the waiter. Siqi has an amazing memory and a photographic memory. It is not easy to hide it from her eyes."
However, the only ones who came were young ladies from aristocratic families who were either rich or noble. They came with their friends to choose a look during the Chinese Valentine's Day. Except for Zhou Mengfu who went upstairs alone, there was nothing unusual.
Chu Zhengyang said: "Why not?"
By the time Shen Qingyi rushed to Baihua Tower, Siqi and others were already lying on the ground in panic.
Everyone in the capital has heard about Zhou Mengfu's appearance, and she comes from a humble background with no background.
However, mid-sentence, she was suddenly startled. She picked up the painting again and looked at it. Suddenly she pointed at a person and said, "I know where Meng Fu went!"
She persuaded him carefully, and Shen Jingnian calmed down a little, but his eyebrows were still clouded.
Taking advantage of the Chinese Valentine's Day, Zhou Mengfu would naturally be speechless if she managed to get things done, and would end up recommending herself as a pillow.
"only these?"
Shen Qingyi was puzzled: "This is strange..."
…
"Although the coachman lowered his head and covered his face with a bamboo hat, there was a mark on his exposed skin.
"And I also saw this mark on the faces of Zhao Xu's secret guards when the Jinluan Palace changed that day.
"Now that there is no emperor in Yongchang, there are only two people in power. Chu Nianyao will naturally not do such a thing. Then there is only one person who can replace the Shen family coachman so easily and do so!"
