C72 (1/2)

”How could there be such a coincidence? Could it be that we're really on the same path?” Liu Ruyan stood up, she was no longer in the mood to wash, she folded her hands together, feeling a little apprehensive.

She shouldn't have come out when she was still in Mi County. If she had been targeted, it would have been a huge problem.

However, it was unclear what identity the white-clothed man had right now. Was he walking on the same path as them, or intentionally following them, or could he not panic and wait to see what happened?

”How about this, tell the two Private Guard s of Zhuang Lin to go out tomorrow to gather some information, and also follow that man to investigate.” Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip, ”No matter what, it's better not to take the risk.

”Yes.” Maid Lu agreed.

After a while, the Maid Lu said again: ”Miss, I wonder if we are on the same path as you. This young master is dressed in white and has countless guards by her side.

”Lady, you might as well relax. Tomorrow, you can go and inquire about the general's news.”

However, Liu Ruyan sighed and said: ”I hope that's the case.”

On the second day, the four of them went their separate ways as they inquired about Liu Yuanzhan's whereabouts within their Anyang Mansion.

Liu Yuanzhan had been to the Anyang Mansion before, and there were some accurate reports that Liu Yuanzhan had stayed there for a few days. This was the place he had lived the longest in, so there must be some news here.

However, Liu Ruyan did not reap any rewards. After all, at the border, the army was coming and going, and soldiers were passing by from time to time on the streets. It was a common occurrence for the citizens, how could any of them recognize the General Liu who was so far away from the capital.

They waited for a long time, and only when the sky had turned completely dark did Lin Xiaode rush back. He said that he had news of Liu Yuanzhan.

”Miss, guard Lin is back.”

Maid Lu entered with Lin Xiaode behind him.

Lin Xiaode's face was filled with exhaustion, but he still saluted in accordance to the rules. He took a glance at Maid Lu and replied: ”Miss, this subordinate has investigated, but the general has rested at the Anyang Mansion for around three to five days. He is a general personally received by the county magistrate of Anyang Mansion Ya.”

”This subordinate specifically made a trip to the Anyang Mansion Yamen, but lady, don't worry. This subordinate only asked a few nearby commoners, and did not disturb the people in the yamen.”

Liu Ruyan nodded, the people around her all knew the importance of this matter, she was not worried at all.

The guard continued, ”Does young lady know of the Spring Flowers Restaurant?”

Just as he said that, before Liu Ruyan could say anything, Maid Lu's face changed, and took the lead: Why did you mention this filthy place to Miss!

”Please forgive my apologies, but the general's matter is related to this Spring Flower Hall. This subordinate has no choice but to report …”

Liu Ruyan waved her hand, and said: ”It's fine, just say it.”

”The county magistrate of Anyang Mansion Ya personally received the general and even sent the number one courtesan, Hua Hua House, to the general. I heard that the general and the courtesan were very uncomfortable that night, and the general was very satisfied …”

”How dare you!” Liu Ruyan could not bear to listen any longer, she slammed the table and stood up.

Lin Xiaode immediately bent down, and even the Maid Lu beside him also knelt down.

”Daddy has always been a clean person, how could he accept a girl from a brothel? This is ridiculous, where did these words come from!” Liu Ruyan was furious, her father had always been indifferent towards her mother, the two of them had been together for so many years, how could something like this happen?
