Zhou Qiwu recalled the scene he saw when he pushed the door open, and he wished he could tear the two slaves who begged for mercy into pieces.

"Beat him! Beat him hard. Let all the servants in the princess's mansion see this: this is the fate of betraying your master and deceiving him!"

The sticks rained down on them, and soon the two maids fainted.

"Princess, they're dead!"

Zhou Qiwu said viciously: "What are you waiting for? Drag him away and feed him to the dogs!"

"Yes!"

The guards quickly dragged the two men away, leaving a trail of blood on the road, which was quickly cleaned up by the servants of the princess's mansion!

Zhou Qiwu's anger had not yet subsided, and she was now worried about something else.

"Where's Yuan Lang? Has he come back?"

"Reporting to the princess, the fire at the city gate has not been brought under control yet. Mr. Yuan is doing his best to direct the firefighting!"

Zhou Qiwu was deeply moved after hearing this, and then asked, "Is there any movement from the Second Prince?"

The guard reported back: "After the Second Prince's guards brought him back to the inn, they surrounded the inn and our people couldn't get in."

Based on Zhou Qiwu's understanding of Zhou Ru'an, this matter would not be so easy to let go.

Yuan Lang did not return to the princess's mansion until the afternoon. Zhou Qiwu felt so distressed when he saw the disheveled man that he quickly ordered someone to fetch water for Yuan Lang to wash.

After washing up, Yuan Lang dismissed his attendants and first hugged Zhou Qiwu tenderly. When the lovemaking gradually subsided, he talked about putting out the fire.

"Although I led my men to do my best to put out the fire, all the birthday gifts sent by officials from all over the country were burned! All the shops next to the warehouse were also burned. The government officials are counting the casualties and losses. The princess's mansion and the government officials are jointly investigating the cause of the fire."

Zhou Qiwu's originally restrained demeanor suddenly turned into anger.

"Investigate, we must find out the cause of the fire. If it turns out to be man-made, I will skin that person's entire family!"

Yuan Lang moved his burned fingers, and felt a sharp pain. He frowned, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes.

"Princess, this time the Second Prince got into trouble in the Princess's Mansion. No matter who schemed against him, this hat will definitely be pinned on our Princess's Mansion!"

This is what Zhou Qiwu was worried about. Before Yuan Lang came back, she didn't even have anyone to discuss it with.

"Yuan Lang, what do you think we should do?"

Yuan Lang said coldly: "The Second Prince is greedy for money."

Zhou Qiwu felt reluctant as he thought about the money he had given to Zhou Ru'an before.

"Xiangyi and Xiangrong are also in trouble. They are the ones who are suffering more!" Zhou Qiwu felt angry again when he thought of his son's lower body covered in blood.

Yuan Lang: "Princess, don't you think this is too strange?"

Zhou Qiwu looked up at Yuan Lang.

"It's Shen Lanxi who should be in the guest room, why are the young master and young lady inside?"

Zhou Qiwu immediately couldn't sit still: "Did Shen Lanxi design it?"

Yuan Lang: "Even if it's not Shen Lanxi, it has something to do with the Shen family!"

Zhou Qiwu immediately got up, asked his people to get dressed, and asked the guards to go and get the Shen family.

It was definitely the Shen family who harmed her two children. She wanted to tear the Shen family into pieces!

Before Zhou Qiwu was dressed, the guards came running to report.

"Princess, it's bad, the Shen family is missing!"

Zhou Qiwu threw the golden hairpin in his hand to the ground with all his might.

"What did you say? When did they disappear? Have you searched everywhere in the princess's mansion?"

"I've looked for it, but I haven't seen a single member of the Shen family!"

Zhou Qiwu's eyes were filled with anger: "What do you guys do for a living? You can't even take care of a family?"

Yuan Lang advised: "Princess, now is not the time to hold them accountable. They must not have gone far. If you order people to chase them now, you can still catch up with them!"

Zhou Qiwu was so angry that his heart ached: "Mobilize all the soldiers in the palace and chase them. No matter if they live or die!"

"Yes!"

After Zhou Qiwu finished giving the order, he saw Yuan Lang standing there in a trance without saying anything, so he immediately asked, "Yuan Lang, what are you thinking about?"

Yuan Lang narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "I have always wondered why the Shen family came to our place, and now I finally figured it out."

Zhou Qiwu quickly asked: "What do you want to understand?"

"They know they have a grudge against you, but they come to us anyway because they want to take a boat!"

"Princess, my uncle is inspecting the coastal defense recently. Please send troops to intercept the ships departing from Tianjin!"

Zhou Qiwu's eyes dodged and his face looked a little bad, but he still asked the guard to take the handwritten letter to notify the Liu family!

As soon as the guards left, a maid came in panic to report.

"Princess, it's bad. The young lady woke up and threatened to commit suicide..."

There was a flash of impatience in Zhou Qiwu's eyes. The situation was already chaotic enough, and now she was making it even more chaotic!

Another maid came running

"Princess, it's bad. The young master refuses to take the medicine and has already smashed two bowls of medicine in a row."

Zhou Qiwu, who was originally going to visit his daughter, turned around and walked quickly towards his son's yard.

At the inn, Zhou Ru'an's body was no longer in bad condition, but he couldn't help feeling nauseous. He soaked in the bathtub three times before he felt that his stomach was not as churning as before.

Shen Lanxi actually dared to plot against him like this. Don't let him catch her, otherwise he will throw her into the most despicable brothel and let her taste the feeling of being ridden by thousands of people and pressed by tens of thousands of people!

"Your Highness, the Shen family is missing." The guard reported quickly.

Zhou Ru'an slammed the table in anger, "What do you mean they disappeared? They were in the Princess's residence, how could they disappear? Did someone in the Princess's residence hide them?"

The guard reported truthfully: "It shouldn't be. After I saw the people from the princess's mansion searched the princess's mansion, I took them to search the whole city."

Zhou Ru'an didn't believe it. His good aunt regarded the Shen family as a thorn in her side. Although the Shen family was free to move around in the princess's mansion, it was like house arrest.

The princess's mansion is heavily guarded. How could those people from the Shen family disappear?

It must be Zhou Qiwu who hid the person and didn’t give him the person.

No matter what the reason was, he was ambushed in the princess's mansion. Even if the guards in the princess's mansion were not good enough, how could he, the dignified prince of the second Great Zhou Dynasty, be insulted like this!

"Go tell the Third Princess that I want everyone who knows about this to shut up!"

Among them are my aunt’s pair of lovely children, but I wonder if my aunt is willing to let them go?

When Zhou Ru'an thought of the luxury of the princess's mansion and the gifts that were sent to the fiefdom in droves, his eyes were filled with greed.

……

Shen Lanxi hadn't slept well for several days. After arranging all her things, she had a full sleep and didn't wake up until dark.

"Young Master, the weather at sea is really strange. It was sunny before, but now it looks like it's going to rain!" Chunxue Qiushuang helped Shen Lanxi to get up.

Shen Lanxi wiped her face and handed the towel to Chunxue.

"Have you asked the ship owner about the weather?"

Qiu Shuang: "Mr. Liu asked, and the boat owner said it's fine. The wind and waves aren't big this season. At most there will be a small cloud and a little rain, and it will be fine in a while!"

Shen Lanxi hummed softly.

Chunxue went out for a while, and when she came back, she had a casserole in her hand, and Mother Wang followed behind her with a tray.
