The curtain of the carriage was opened with a crash, and under the bright moonlight, a young gentleman walked out.
He was wearing a blue robe. The material shone in the moonlight and was extremely gorgeous. At first glance, he looked like an extraordinary wealthy man, but it didn't match the ordinary black lacquered carriage.
Shu Yao saw him get off the carriage and walk straight towards Shen Junzhuo, knowing that they must know each other, because he was a strange man after all. At this moment, she was not wearing a power fence, so she took two steps behind Shen Junzhuo.
Her actions were clearly seen by the visitors. With an easy-going smile on his face, the famous uncle of the capital, stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Shen Junzhuo, moved his chin in the direction of Shu Yao, and said:
"Brother Shen is bringing the female family members of the house out to see the lights?"
Shen Junzhuo smiled faintly and did not answer him. He only said:
"I didn't expect Uncle Guo to be so elegant."
Uncle Liu Guo smiled, pointed behind him, and said:
"You and I have all contributed to the prosperous scene of Dacheng. Of course I have to come out and take a look, otherwise how can I brag to future generations in the future?"
Shen Junzhuo chuckled lightly and said:
"Shen doesn't dare to take credit. The credit belongs to the Prime Minister. He worked hard and devoted himself to the great success of the country. He is really a role model for us. Uncle Guo did not hesitate to give in. The Prime Minister can only let go with your help." With your hands and feet, you can accomplish great things."
After hearing this, Uncle Liu Guo smiled heartily and said:
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
His subordinate Luan Shifei had already arrived in a carriage. Shen Junzhuo didn't want to stay any longer, so he bowed his hands to Liu Guojiu and said goodbye:
"Uncle Guo, go upstairs and take your time. Shen has to send the child back home, so I won't be with you much longer."
Uncle Liu Guo knew this and said goodbye to Shen Junzhuo with a smile. He watched with interest as he helped Shu Yao get into the carriage. Until they left, the smile on his face disappeared and he said to the people following him:
"Go and find out which young lady from Duke Mao's palace is so favored by General Shen."
The people around him nodded, turned around and disappeared into the night.
…
…
After being delayed outside for long enough, Mama Jia looked at the crowd and weighed in her mind what to say and what to do when she went back. The first person to notice that Miss Li Er was missing was of course the wet nurse who was following her closely. The old lady panicked She ran over to her in a panic and said that a group of people had pushed her and the second lady away, and they couldn't find her again. She knew that the matter was almost done.
She pretended to be extremely shocked, and quickly asked someone to send the four ladies from the Duke's Palace back to the carriage, and then arranged for people to go out to look for the person.
Someone found Miss Li Er's power fence, and someone found a lantern that had been trampled to pieces, and showed it to Mother Liu to identify it. Mother Liu started crying. After all, she was from an official family, and she clamored to let it go. He quickly called the official, but she stopped him with a drink and said:
"Why are you reporting to an official? Do you want your lady's reputation? If this is spread, your lady's innocence will be lost!"
When Mother Liu heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then started crying again, and took the two maids she had brought out to look for someone in the crowd.
After waiting for so long, the people who arranged to go out to look for the person came back one after another. As expected, there was no trace. Only Liu’s mother and the two maids never came back. It’s okay. I’ve done all the covering up and pretending. They had put on a good show, and then they met Shen Junzhuo who sent someone to look for them. The crowd was noisy, and the guard spoke very quietly as if he hadn't eaten. She only heard a rough idea of what he said. In short, he wanted them to come back as soon as possible. She wanted to go to the house. She didn't know the reason for the commotion. It was almost time. Since the matter was settled, it was time to go back.
After Mama Jia gave the order, the coachman shook the reins, and the carriage began to move, heading towards the Duke's Mansion. Yuyao in the car suddenly opened the curtain and said to Mama Jia:
"Mom, are you no longer looking for the second young lady of the Li family?"
Mother Jia looked at her and said:
"It's getting late. Miss Fourth can't spend the night outside, right?"
