C57 (2/2)

Today, Feng Linyuan had even personally gone to look for the bedroom of the Gaochang Marquis, the marquis' ancestral hall, and even the Wife of Departed Marquis's old residence.

”Searching aimlessly like this isn't a solution either.” Bai Zheng frowned as she thought about it.

Ever since she had been saved by Feng Linyuan, she accompanied him and searched through many places. Yet, they had all failed to reap any rewards.

Feng Linyuan nodded and said, ”This marquis originally thought that since this Bone-penetrating Herb was requested by the Gaochang Marquis for its mother, it must be placed in some place related to the Wife of Departed Marquis. However, after rummaging through the Wife of Departed Marquis's old residence and ancestral hall, we still did not find anything. ”

Bai Zheng lowered her eyes, ”Then is there anything else within the house of the Marquis that we don't know about that is related to the Wife of Departed Marquis?”

After searching through these few places with Feng Linyuan, Bai Zheng had a clearer understanding of Feng Linyuan's abilities. It could be said that nothing could escape his eyes.

In those places, since he said that there were no Bone-penetrating Herb, there must not be any.

which meant that the Bone-penetrating Herb was still in a place they had never been before.

”I have also sent people to inquire about the affairs of the Wife of Departed Marquis. Wife of Departed Marquis grew up with the previous Marquis, and their relationship was deep. When they reached the age of twenty, they would be married according to their engagement, and it was a beautiful story within the Yongding City at that time. It's a pity that the heavens are jealous. When Wife of Departed Marquis was in the process of childbirth, the previous Marquis suddenly fell ill and died, leaving the Wife of Departed Marquis orphans and widows, relying on each other for survival. ”

”Wife of Departed Marquis has been a widow for so many years, she is indeed a poor man.” Bai Zheng sighed.

”If not for the discovery of the Gaochang Marquis, I'm afraid that the Wife of Departed Marquis would have followed me back then. Afterwards, Wife of Departed Marquis's mother had also planned for her to remarry, but she was rejected by Wife of Departed Marquis. ”

Bai Zheng muttered to himself, ”When Gaochang Marquis was young, he could still accompany us day by day, but when he grew up, he went to war on the battlefield for many years. How did Wife of Departed Marquis spend those days?”

Feng Linyuan frowned, ”If a loved one goes, it is naturally easy to miss them.” He suddenly thought of something and raised his head. ”Could it be …”

Bai Zheng also thought of this at the same time, and nodded: ”Right now, send someone to investigate, is there still time to find out where the Wife of Departed Marquis and the previous Marquis's favorite guest garden or old residence is?”

Feng Linyuan had already stood up and walked to the door of the study, ”I know where it is.”

”Who's here?”

Just as Feng Linyuan was about to leave, a voice came out from outside.

Bai Zheng was so scared that she was grabbed by the fast Feng Linyuan and hid behind the bookshelf.

The door to the study was opened. Bai Zheng looked through the gaps between the bookshelves and saw a man who looked like the commander of the guards entering the study. He took out a long sword from his waist and carefully looked around.

The man's gaze quickly locked onto the few bookshelves in the small study room.

She saw the man holding the sword coming closer and closer to them. Bai Zheng was so frightened that she immediately tried to shrink back. However, she couldn't care about anything else as she pulled Feng Linyuan closer to her side.

With regards to this man who was searching, Feng Linyuan naturally did not put him in his eyes.

Now that he was getting closer, Feng Linyuan tightly protected Bai Zheng, his hand was already holding onto a handful of knockout medicine, waiting for the man to walk in front of them, and sprinkled the powder on his face.

The man's footsteps were light, but were like heavy stones that struck at Bai Zheng's heart.

Feng Linyuan stared intently ahead, his hand slowly raised.

Beside the bookshelf, the black soles of the guards' feet were exposed.
