Shen Ningning followed Xiumu and the others and watched the "blood donation" farce in the inn for a few days.

In the end, she didn't say anything, so Hideki and the others decided to give up.

"It's been four days, and no fewer than two hundred eighteen-year-old girls have come here, but none of them are ten princesses." Xiumu shook his head and sighed.

The money given out alone cost more than two hundred taels.

This does not include the cost of renting an inn every day.

Shen Ningning waved her fan lightly, her expression was relaxed, and her eyes were bright when talking and laughing.

"I have long thought that your method would not work. Mr. Hideki, have you never doubted the authenticity of the person who wrote the letter? If it is false, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

But Xiumu suddenly became serious: "If you have hope, you should give it a try. If you can find the tenth princess, all the efforts you put in will be worth it."

Shen Ningning couldn't explain to him, so she simply got up and left.

When she passed Takuno, she sighed and said in a voice that only he could hear: "It seems that the King of Japan really cares about this tenth princess."

He does not mean that.

Tuoye frowned slightly and watched Hideki call the secret guards and instruct them to pay attention to the eighteen-year-old woman nearby.

Taking it so seriously is not like Hideki making an excuse at all.

It seems that Hideki's main task this time should be to find the ten princesses.

The jade ring was kept by Shen Ningning, and Xiumu left it to Tuoye to keep it.

Shen Ningning left the inn and boarded the carriage when she saw a person poking around the corner from the corner of her eye.

She squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and saw Su Zhirou with her maid.

Su Zhirou looked at the inn, not knowing what she was staring at, and she was acting furtively.

Shen Ningning's eyes changed, she called the guards around her, whispered a few words, then got on the carriage and left.

Pei Yin is back.

He took the initiative to come to Qi Mansion to find Qi Xiuwei, preparing to take Meng Yi back.

In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't even enter the Qi Mansion.

Qi Xiuwei walked to the door wearing a bright blue and white dress, holding Mengyi's cage in her hand.

"Master Pei, just come back. It's been a long and dusty journey. Thank you for your hard work."

Qi Xiuwei handed Meng Yi over and spoke to him with a blushing face.

Pei Yin's expression had a hint of color: "It's not hard work, I'm just doing things for the emperor. I also want to thank Miss Qi for being willing to help me take care of Meng Yi. He didn't cause any trouble, did he?"

Qi Xiuwei thought for a moment.

If it frightened Lu Shaoyuan's parrot so much that it started talking nonsense, then it really wasn't causing trouble.

Qi Xiuwei smiled and shook her head.

She saw a tear in Pei Yin's sleeve, as if cut with a knife, and the cut was neat and clean.

Suddenly surprised: "Master Pei, are you injured?"

Pei Yin followed Qi Xiuwei's eyes and looked down.

Then he said casually: "No, I was not paying attention when I was chasing someone else, and I almost got ambushed."

When Qi Xiuwei heard this, her face turned pale.

What mission was he on that was so dangerous?

Pei Yin was a man of few words, but Qi Xiuwei looked at him with concern.

He couldn't help but explain a few more words.

"Don't worry, Miss Qi, he's just an ordinary little thief."

Qi Xiuwei breathed a sigh of relief and secretly remembered that his clothes were torn.

When Pei Yin left, he suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask: "When I came here, I saw a few people on the street. They spoke with a Changliu accent. Has anyone from the Changliu Kingdom entered the city recently?"

Qi Xiuwei smiled and said: "Previously, Chang Liu Kingdom arranged envoys to congratulate Ning Ning and Ji Yan. They must have not left the capital yet."

Hearing these words, Pei Yin's face turned cold.

He nodded slightly: "I understand, thank you very much, Miss Qi."

Afterwards, Pei Yin quickly mounted his horse and drove away.

Qi Xiuwei watched his figure getting further and further away, and couldn't help but think of his suddenly cold face just now.

Pei Yin had such an attitude after hearing the name of Changliu Kingdom.

Qi Xiuwei heard that Pei Yin's father was a soldier and died under the sword of the Changliu people.

Therefore, he wanted to join the army and learn skills to avenge his family.

However, the commander of the Forbidden Army appreciated him and brought him into the Forbidden Army for training.

Over the years, Pei Yin may have been waiting for the opportunity to personally go to the battlefield to face the enemy Chang Liu Kingdom.

The summer sun is hot and dry, and the wind is gentle.

It was just after noon, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

A carriage brought up flying dust and stopped suddenly at the door of the inn.

A powerful and beautiful woman came down from above.

The aunt beside her said: "Madam, this is right here. I heard from the young lady of the Su family that last time she saw our adults following a long-haired girl in. She also asked the waiter that the adults opened an inn here for that girl. !”

The beautiful woman's face darkened with anger: "Okay, Zhang Man is really capable. I serve my parents-in-law and raise my children at home. I originally thought it would be hard enough for him to be a deputy general in the military camp, so I never told him about the difficulties at home. So that he doesn’t have to worry.”

"Now he's doing well. He actually opens an inn for other women and raises an outhouse like others? Let's go! Let's catch this little prostitute and parade her through the streets today. I'll see how she behaves."

As soon as she finished speaking, another carriage arrived.

Su Zhirou opened the curtain, looking anxious.

"Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, please listen to my explanation!"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her, and the nanny beside her said: "Miss Su is here, just in time. Let her tell us which room the little prostitute is hiding in."

Su Zhirou hurriedly got off the carriage, with a dozen servants behind her.

Sweat broke out on her fair forehead.

"Mrs. Zhang, why did you come so directly to catch an adulterer? If you have anything to do, you'd better go back and discuss it with Vice General Zhang. If you really catch something, it would be revealed that I was the one who instigated it. Wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be sabotage? Your relationship as a couple."

Mrs. Zhang looked stern: "He is hiding in the golden house outside. As his legitimate wife, of course I have to take care of him. Don't worry, Miss Su, this is our husband and wife's own business and will never implicate you."

Seeing that there were so many servants behind Su Zhirou, Mrs. Zhang was actually a little hesitant.

After all, catching someone raped is not honorable.

She didn't want to make any noise, so she only brought a confidant, a nanny.

But Su Zhirou was followed by more than a dozen servants. If they all saw it, the news that Zhang Man kept an outside wife would spread in the capital tomorrow.

Mrs. Zhang calmed down and asked in a cold voice: "Miss Su, are you sure that the last time you passed the inn, you saw my husband Zhang Man?"

Su Zhirou looked like a weak Liu Fufeng.

She nodded lightly: "Yes, the reason why I knew it was Vice General Zhang was because I injured my ankle that day and received help in the Chen Jiajun's barracks where Vice General Zhang was. At that time, I saw Zhang following General Chen. Lieutenant General."

"Because they were kind to me, when we met on the street that day, I wanted to say hello, but unexpectedly, I saw Vice General Zhang leading another...other woman."

The fire in Mrs. Zhang's heart felt like a spoonful of oil had been poured on it!

Before she got married, she was born into a general, and she couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes!

"Let's go up and have a look!" Mrs. Zhang turned around angrily and went up.

Su Zhirou hurriedly stopped her: "Mrs. Zhang, don't be impulsive. Maybe I saw it wrong. After all, I have only met Deputy General Zhang once. Madam Zhang, please calm down!"

Mrs. Zhang got angry and pushed her aside.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry." After saying that, she lifted her skirt and entered the inn.

The menacing and aggressive look scared the waiter at a loss.

Su Zhirou stood at the door of the inn, a smile of success flashed across her eyes.

She turned back and looked at the group of servants she had brought.

"What are you doing standing still? Go and help. If there's a quarrel, be sure to break up the fight, lest the couple get into trouble and it's my fault instead."

"Yes." The servants rushed in.

Su Zhirou followed slowly.

She will ruin Chen Shaobei's reputation today!
