After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

There was no one in the house. It should be said that there were people in the house originally, but they had been moved away at this moment. The bed rails were shackled, the bedding on the bed was messy, and there was a large pile of broken vase on the floor.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the scene in the room and couldn't help but cover her heart with her hands. At this moment, she was even afraid of finding something.

"Your Highness, there is a back entrance to this courtyard. I guess when they stopped us at the entrance of the courtyard, they had already arranged for people to take away the people in the house." Dahei whispered.

Yan Mu's face darkened, "You lead people to search the entire Yangguo Duke's mansion."

"Yes."

"Your Highness, even if you are looking for an earring for the princess, it is not appropriate to let the officials search our palace, right?" The third young master walked in slowly, and his expression was obviously much more relaxed at this moment.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help it anymore, turned around and asked angrily: "Where are the people in this room? Where did you hide her?"

This third young master is so funny, "As a man, who doesn't have some special hobbies? Your Highness should know about it, right?"

Yan Mu's eyes were sharp, "Whatever the princess asks you, just give me your honest answer."

The Third Young Master touched his nose and said, "It turns out that a maid from my room was in this courtyard. We were having fun when the princess barged in unexpectedly. My maid was shy, so she ran away secretly."

He said this, but Yan Mu and the others had no evidence and could not say anything for the moment.

At this time, the third lady Cheng also came. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but glare at the third young master, "You, you, you are always so playful, your highness and the princess must have misunderstood."

The third young master was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Madam knows about me, I am really just playing for fun, and the maid is also willing."

"Hmph, I want to ask you clearly, who are you, the little vixen?"

"Qiao'er in your room."

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but kicked the third young master, "No wonder she ran back in panic just now and asked her what was wrong. She looked guilty. Let's see how I deal with her when I get back."

The third young master smiled apologetically and just admitted his mistake, looking good-tempered.

The couple singing harmony made Liu Yunxiang and the others unable to stand. Especially when Dahei came back and said that he had not found Na Erjue, which meant that he had not found Xiao Wu.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "Since it's not in the Duke's Mansion, then look for it somewhere else, but I will never give up, and I will find it sooner or later!"

After saying that, Liu Yunxiang strode out, with Yan Mu walking behind. When he passed the third young master, he reached out and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"I heard that you recommended Han Wei to be the salt transport envoy to the Huaihe River. Do you think he is capable or what?"

The Third Young Master trembled, "Of course he has this ability."

"Is it?"

"Yes……"

Yan Mu sneered coldly, "You'd better hide your tail and don't let me catch you!"

After Yan Mu and the others left, the third young master's feet softened and he sat down on the ground.

"I thought I was going to get caught."

Mrs. Cheng snorted, "It's not because I saw something was wrong, so I quickly asked someone to take the fifth girl away."

"So that's it. No wonder there is no one in this room." The third young master felt grateful and guilty at the same time. "Madam, I have neglected you these days. I will definitely treat you well in the future."

"I've heard this too many times."

"I swear……"

"No, please clean up this mess first."

The third young master stood up and said, "Where did you hide the person?"

Mrs. Cheng sighed, "Where can I hide it? I will naturally send it back to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion."

"what?"

Liu Yunxiang learned the news about Xiao Wu at night. She first asked Zijin to inform Qu Moran. The two met in front of the Jingan Hou Mansion and then went in together.

When they came to the backyard, Marquis Jing'an and Xie Wenqing were in the hall. They didn't know what they said. When they saw them coming from a distance, they stopped talking.

"Where's Xiaowu?" Liu Yunxiang asked as soon as he entered the door.

Marquis Jing'an pointed to the west room, "She's in there."

Liu Yunxiang and Qu Moran hurried to the west room and opened the curtain. There was only an oil lamp inside, which was dim. They could only see someone on the bed, and they didn't see clearly until they got closer to the bed that it was Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu closed his eyes at this time and seemed to be asleep, but his sleep was not restful, and his brows were furrowed tightly. In just a short time, the little girl lost weight and looked very haggard, as if she was ill.

Qu Moran was heartbroken and hurriedly took her arm to check her pulse. Apart from the depression in her chest, she didn't have any other illnesses.

Liu Yunxiang called out softly, but Xiao Wu suddenly opened his eyes. He was panicked at first, and then tears came out when he saw her and Qu Moran.

"Sanniang...Master..."

Liu Yunxiang took Xiao Wu's hand and squeezed it tightly, "These days...where have you been?"

"I……"

"My people found her in an unused yard outside the city. Her leg was broken, so she couldn't return to the city." At this time, Marquis Jingan came in and said.

Liu Yunxiang turned and looked at Qu Moran. This statement was obviously full of loopholes. Qu Moran understood and lifted up the quilt to check Xiao Wu's leg. The left leg was indeed fractured. Due to improper treatment, the calf was already bruised.

She hurriedly helped Xiao Wu set his bones, clamped them with a splint, and took care of the leg injury. Xiao Wu was already a little dazed.

At this time, Liu Yunxiang saw faint marks on both sides of Xiao Wu's ankles. Thinking of the shackles she saw in the backyard of Duke Yang's Mansion, she bent down and asked Xiao Wu: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Wu, tell Sanniang, these days you Where?"

Xiao Wu looked at Liu Yunxiang, his eyes blurred with tears, and he spoke after a long time: "I went to collect medicine...and broke my leg...just on the outskirts of the city...in a house..."

"really?"

"Ah."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Xiao Wu, are you imprisoned by someone?"

"No, no!"

"Sanniang can protect you, so just tell the truth!"

"useless!"

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "Then Sanniang asked you, who sent you to that house?"

"A good Samaritan passing by."

"Is it male or female?"

"male."

"Who is he?"

"I do not know."

"Then who gives you food these days?"

"Given by that kind person."

Liu Yunxiang wanted to ask more, but Xiao Wu obviously couldn't hold it any longer.

Qu Moran said: "Forget it, let's not ask anymore. You go home with Master first."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, returned home, comforted Xiao Wu, and they could slowly ask the truth.

"This is her home, she won't go anywhere." Marquis Jing'an said.

Qu Moran stood up and said, "She has been following me."

"Thank you, Doctor Qu, but she has to go home after all."

Qu Moran turned back to Xiao Wu and said, "Tell your grandfather that you want to go home with the master."

Xiao Wu looked at Qu Moran. Although there was longing in his eyes, he shook his head, "Master, my family is sparse and my grandfather is alone. I should stay at home with him."

Xiao Wu said this, what else could Qu Moran say.

Liu Yunxiang was worried. She felt that Xiao Wu was hiding something from her, and even thought that Marquis Jing'an might have bad intentions, but these were all her guesses. What's more, now that she is an outsider, she cannot take Xiao Wu away by force.

"Sanniang, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Then Sanniang will come see you tomorrow."
