"That's true. I'll go look for her now." Jiang Jun'er couldn't wait any longer to cry, and directly ran out in a hurry.

When Jiang Jun'er found Fu Xiulan, she was in the kitchen trying to cook new dishes. When she found out that Xu Guozhi had gone missing, she immediately put down her work.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Tell me what happened first." Fu Xiulan looked solemn. She did not expect Xu Guozhi to disappear just a day after she left.

When Jiang Jun'er heard this, she suppressed the anxiety in her heart and told Fu Xiulan everything she knew.

When Fu Xiulan heard this, she frowned and thought for a while before replying, "Go back and wait for the news. I'll think of a way to find him now."

"Alright, I'll be troubling you. You must help me find him." Although Jiang Jun'er was anxious, she still responded.

After Jiang Juan'er left, Fu Xiulan turned around and left the house. She walked all the way to the alley that she came from last time.

Many beggars were gathered there. Fu Xiulan scanned the area and finally found the young beggar from before. She walked up to him and placed a silver ingot into his bowl. "Take me to look for his head."

The young beggar didn't say anything more this time. He got up and brought Fu Xiulan to the same yard as last time. Inside the courtyard, it was the same middle-aged beggar as before.

"Uncle, I have something to trouble you with this time." Fu Xiulan said politely as she walked up to him. As she spoke, she took out a bag of rather heavy silver from her bosom.

The middle-aged beggar took the bag of silver and asked, "Miss, what matter do you have to help us with?"

"I want you guys to help me find someone called Xu Guozhi." The reason why Fu Xiulan had come to these beggars for help was because she knew that they were well-informed.

"No problem. Take a seat first, I'll tell the brothers to look for you." The middle-aged man readily agreed, and then stood up to instruct the other beggars.

It had to be said that the beggars' intelligence was extraordinary. Not long later, they found the whereabouts of Xu Guozhi.

Fu Xiulan walked all the way to the entrance of the Green Bamboo Garden that the little beggars were talking about. However, the guard at the door saw that he was dressed plainly and did not allow her to enter. It was impossible for Fu Xiulan to do so. She paced back and forth in front of the door before coming up with a solution.

She walked to the door and took out a large bag of silver from her bosom. Then, she grabbed a bag and threw it on the floor. She shouted, "There's silver!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately bent down to pick up the money. Even the people from the Green Bamboo Institution heard this and hastily ran out. The scene immediately became very chaotic. As for Fu Xiulan, she managed to sneak into the Green Bamboo Forest while holding on to herself. However, there were too many rooms inside the courtyard. After searching for a while, she finally found Xu Guozhi tied to the bed in one of the rooms. After untying the rope from his body, the two of them ran away from the window.

As the two of them walked back to the restaurant, Xu Guozhi also thanked them all the way.

"I'll go back first." After settling Xu Guozhi's matter, Fu Xiulan decided to return.

"Miss Fu, thank you so much." Xu Guozhi and his wife said gratefully. They only stopped when they saw Fu Xiulan off far away.

At the same time, Wang Yunsheng brought her daughter to the Mo Estate to discuss Wang Shufei and Mo Jinghuan's marriage.

"I see that the two children aren't young anymore. Why don't we settle their marriage as soon as possible? We can also cut down on our dessert." Wang Yunsheng smiled as he spoke to Lady Mo, not once mentioning the matter of annulling the engagement.

"But …" Although Madam Mo also wanted them to get married as soon as possible, the marriage had already been annulled …

Wang Yunsheng naturally knew what Lady Mo was thinking and hurriedly said, "The child doesn't understand the matter of annulling the engagement, so why should we take it seriously?"

"That's true, the children are making fun of themselves." Hearing this, Lady Mo beamed with joy. She did not want Mo Jinghuan and Wang Shufei to break off their engagement, so she followed Wang Yunsheng's instructions.

The two chatted and laughed until the matter of annulling the engagement was forgotten, as if it had never happened.

Wang Shufei, who was sitting at the side, heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Lady Mo did not agree to break off the engagement, the marriage contract between her and Mo Jinghuan would still be final.

After Fu Xiulan returned to the village, she brought Crescent Moon to catch some fish.

"Mother, look at how big this fish is!" Crescent squatted at the side of the pool and watched the fish swimming back and forth, her small face full of excitement.

"Come, let's go down and catch some fish. We'll catch a big fish. Mother will cook a fish feast for you tonight." Fu Xiulan, who was watching from the side, was much happier. She rolled up the legs of the crescent moon as the two of them jumped into the pool, holding each other's hands. The pool was not deep, only reaching to their knees.

The two of them were playing as they caught the fish, so they didn't notice that someone was staring at them from not too far away.

It was King Ziyi, the King of Tranquil Water. He stood there and watched Fu Xiulan playing with the water, a dazzling smile on her face. He was slightly lost in thought. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile that he did not notice.

However, after a while, Crescent Moon happened to glance towards his direction and saw him at first glance. However, because it was far away, he couldn't clearly see who it was, "Mother, that person seems to be looking at us."

Hearing this, Fu Xiulan stopped fishing and turned around to see Zi Yi. Knowing that he had been discovered, Zi Yi walked openly towards Fu Xiulan and the others.

"Prince Jing." As he approached, Fu Xiulan and Crescent Moon could clearly see the person's appearance. Fu Xiulan frowned slightly. Even though he had saved her last time, she still did not have a good impression of this Zi Yi.

As for the crescent moon behind Fu Xiulan, when she saw Zi Yi, her small mouth slightly pouted, her rosy face showing some displeasure.

As if he had thought of something, a crafty look flashed through his eyes. He took out a slingshot from his chest, and then fished out a small stone from the water before aiming at Zi Yi's direction.

Zi Yi was talking to Fu Xiulan, so he didn't notice the little fellow behind her, but his reaction was quick. Just as the small stone was about to hit him, he leaned to the side and the stone flew past his clothes.

Yueyue's actions drew the attention of Fu Xiulan and Zi Yi. They both looked at him. There was surprise in Fu Xiulan's eyes, but there was also a trace of anger in Zi Yi's eyes.

"Kid, why did you shoot pebbles at me?" Zi Yi's face darkened as he stared at the crescent moon. In the end, it was just a child. Seeing him staring at her in such a manner, he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Fu Xiulan.

However, he paused for a moment. No, he was a man. He should not hide behind his mother in order to protect her.
