On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 245 Entering the Governor's Mansion at Night

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment and asked Mrs. Qi: "Madam, as far as you know, are there any other families in the city who have lost their children? Or young women?"

Mrs. Qi was startled: "I have never heard of this. When I first heard that Mrs. Chen's child was missing, I was also surprised."

"How much do you know about that temple, Daikokuji Temple?"

Mrs. Qi smiled a little sheepishly: "To be honest, Princess, I never believed in these things before. I never believed in the stories of gods and ghosts. But since Qiang'er fell ill, she has tried many methods and has not seen many doctors. There was nothing I could do. I just... regarded it as a kind of sustenance! I have been to Daiguo Temple several times, burned incense to pay off my wishes, and donated money for sesame oil."

"In your opinion, what kind of temple is Daikokuji Temple?"

"Daikokuji Temple is not bad, the incense is good, and most of the monks are very Buddhist, especially the abbot, who has a good reputation. He even gave me a string of Buddhist beads before and asked Qiang'er to wear it all the time."

Mrs. Qi asked: "Does the princess have any doubts about Daiguo Temple? Or..."

"Not really, I just heard about it. There will be a Buddhist event tomorrow and I want to know more about it."

"If the princess wants to participate, you can come to the mansion tomorrow after entering the city, and I will take you there."

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly: "Thank you madam."

Having said that, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe took their leave.

Mrs. Qi immediately arranged for the soldiers in the mansion to be divided into three teams as Huo Changhe said.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe left Qi Mansion and met up with Jin Collar outside.

"What do you think?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Huo Changhe: "What do you mean? Qi Mansion or Madam Chen? Or Governor's Mansion?"

Yan Ruyu pointed her finger at her forehead: "There is no problem in the Qi Mansion. With Mrs. Qi here, there shouldn't be any big mistakes. I am referring to Mrs. Chen and the Governor's Mansion."

Huo Changhe pondered: "The child's loss is not an exception."

"That's the young master of the governor's office, not an ordinary child." Yan Ruyu shook her head, "I always feel that there is something interesting in this."

"I asked Mrs. Qi before if the governor's wife had any children, and that's what I meant."

If there is a legitimate son, it is not uncommon for the governor's wife to fear that her child's status will be threatened and stay in the backyard.

But as Mrs. Qi said, it is indeed not something that can be done.

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment: "That's not what I meant. I just think it's a bit of a coincidence."

"coincide?"

"Yes, there are two children of unknown origin in our team," Yan Ruyu looked at him, "The one Rui Geer and Yin Ding just rescued from the village."

Huo Changhe's eyes narrowed: "You mean..."

Yan Ruyu sighed slightly: "Whether it is true or not, it is a cruel result. It is better not to make rash guesses. Let's find a chance to take a look after we enter the city."

Both of them felt a little heavy.

The women who were mutilated and the children who were turned into wooden dolls weighed heavily on their hearts.

When Yan Ruyu was working as an agent before, she also encountered a similar incident. It was a criminal gang that abducted children. It was an extremely criminal industry chain.

The leader probably felt that he was guilty, so he hired several top-notch bodyguards, two of whom were international mercenaries.

Yan Ruyu was seriously injured that time and had to lie in the military hospital for more than a month before she could get off the ground.

Even so, she didn't regret it at all.

Yan Ruyu secretly made up her mind that if she could catch Mr. Mo and rescue those innocent and poor children, she would be willing to pay a higher price.

"What are you thinking about?" Huo Changhe asked.

Yan Ruyu retracted her chaotic thoughts: "I haven't thought about anything. I don't know where Mr. Mo is and what he is thinking of."

"This person has a vicious heart," Yan Ruyu said coldly, "and he has no regard for human life. He despises all lives and only cares about the results. We are on the opposite side of him and must be extra cautious."

Huo Changhe smiled slightly: "Yu'er thinks that I am too affectionate and can be easily controlled by him?"

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but smile: "Well, it's almost the same. A passionate person is always easily hurt by a ruthless person."

Huo Changhe chuckled: "I'm very happy."

"what?"

"Because Yu'er said that I am a passionate person," Huo Changhe stood still, "Does that mean that I concealed my identity before, and Yu'er can forgive me? I'm worried that it will hurt you."

Yan Ruyu has figured this out and is not too pretentious, but she has never talked about it with Huo Changhe.

"Yeah." She hummed.

Huo Changhe asked: "What do you mean?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Yan Ruyu raised her head: "Where is that place?"

Seeing that she changed the subject, Huo Changhe stopped asking any more questions and whispered, "It looks like it's the Governor's Mansion."

As he said that, he looked back at Jin Collar.

Jin Qing nodded: "Yes."

Yan Ruyu thought about it: "Since we are here, let's go in and take a look."

Huo Changhe smiled and asked: "Looking at the governor's wife?"

"Correct."

As usual, Jin Collar was asked to wait outside while Huo Changhe took Yan Ruyu into the house.

The Governor's Mansion is about the same size as the Qi Mansion, with a more elaborate layout and unique landscapes.

It is not as rough and informal as Qi Mansion.

Yan Ruyu whispered: "The garden design alone will cost a lot, right?"

"More than that," Huo Changhe pointed to the railing of the pavilion, "this jade is extraordinary."

After turning around, Yan Ruyu stopped and pulled Huo Changhe back into the shadows.

Not long after, a woman came over carrying a tray with a bowl of medicine on it.

Yan Ruyu only concluded that someone was coming when she smelled the medicine.

"Let's go, follow her."

This house is too big. It's a waste of time to wander around. It's better to follow the next one.

The mother-in-law walked through the courtyard and stopped in front of a courtyard. The woman in charge of night watch opened the door and greeted her.

Huo Changhe led Yan Ruyu up to the roof of the wing and watched the woman enter the room.

The yard was filled with the smell of incense, and Yan Ruyu could tell that this was the residence of the governor's wife.

Pointing to the small Buddhist hall, Huo Changhe understood and led her to jump over, landed on the slope of the back room, hung the golden hook upside down, and punctured the window paper.

The old woman just entered the room, put down the tray, and said softly: "Madam, please drink the medicine!"

The governor's wife was wearing a dark blue dress, and she didn't wear any jewelry on her head. She only wore a forehead tie, and the gray hair on both sides of her forehead couldn't be covered at all.

She closed her eyes, knelt in front of the Buddha statue, twirled the beads in her hand, and slowly opened her eyes after hearing the mother-in-law's words.

"What are you doing drinking this useless stuff? I've been drinking it for so many years and I haven't seen anything good."

The mother-in-law came over to help her: "Your complexion has gotten much better during this period. How come you are not feeling better? The medicine still needs to be taken for a long time to be effective."

"Is there a letter from the young master?"

"Not yet, but it's coming soon. The young master will write back every time in the middle of the month. Isn't it coming soon?"

The governor's wife nodded slightly: "Where is that one? How is the situation?"
