After saying that, Xia Hongming left with a dark expression.

Mrs. Wei’s heart tightened again. She thought that Liu Sanniang would be able to go back after solving this case, but now…

Mrs. Wei didn’t know how to tell Liu Sanniang about it.

After Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan came out, they planned to tell Mrs. Wei that they would be staying in the capital for the time being, so it was not appropriate for them to stay in the Xuanyi mansion.

Mrs. Wei looked at Liu Sanniang and wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.

Liu Sanniang said, “Madam, I’ll stay in the capital for a while.”

Mrs. Wei was stunned. “What? You’re staying?”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes, for the time being.”

Mrs. Wei was puzzled. “Why? The capital is so dangerous. It’s not good to stay here.”

Wei s.h.i.+lai almost lost his life, but once Liu Sanniang arrived, the matter was quickly resolved. Liu Sanniang’s ability had already caught the Third Prince’s attention. Not only did Liu Sanniang not leave, but she also wanted to stay back. Mrs. Wei could not understand it. The capital was so dangerous. No one wanted to linger here for too long.

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “There are still some things I need to do.”

since she still had something to do, she needed to stay for the time being. Liu Sanniang did not say what it was, so Mrs. Wei did not continue asking.

If Liu Sanniang wanted to stay, there was no way she could avoid the Third Prince.

Mrs. Wei looked at Liu Sanniang and said with a frown, “Miss Liu, the Third Prince just came. He said that there will be a banquet in his mansion in three days. He hopes that you can attend it.”

Mrs. Wei felt a little uneasy. She wanted to explain more, but Liu Sanniang said with a smile, “Okay, I will be there. Madam, it’s getting late. I won’t disturb you anymore. Chu Yan and I will go and find a place to stay.”

Seeing that Liu Sanniang was about to leave, Mrs. Wei quickly spoke up. “Miss Liu, the Xuanyi mansion is very big. You can just stay here.”

Liu Sanniang shook her head. “No need. After I find a place to stay, I’ll get someone to tell you the address.”

Mrs. Wei sent Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan to the door. Liu Sanniang had already boarded the carriage, and General Black got in too. Mrs. Wei watched as Chu Yan drove the carriage away. She opened her mouth and said silently, “Thank you, Miss Liu.”

The capital was very big, and Liu Sanniang could feel several sources of evil. That was the reason she stayed.

With General Black inside the carriage, the s.p.a.ce suddenly became crowded. Chu Yan found an inn and stopped the horse. He said, “It’s a little late today. Let’s stay here for a night. We’ll find a house tomorrow.”

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Chu Yan held her hand and entered the inn.

When the waiter saw General Black, he stammered. “M-Miss, you’re not allowed to bring pets in this shop. It’ll scare the other customers.”

General Black was tall and fierce-looking, so it was reasonable that the waiter was worried.

Liu Sanniang rubbed General Black’s head. “He won’t bite. Touch him if you don’t believe me.”

General Black looked at the waiter while wagging his tail excitedly.

The waiter did not dare to touch him. General Black walked to the waiter and obediently lay down. He crawled on all fours. The waiter was stunned. Could dogs do this?

The waiter compromised. “As long as he doesn’t bite anyone.”

Liu Sanniang smiled. “General Black, come back.”

The dog was really smart. He understood that if he wanted to stay in the inn, he had to be amiable.

The two rooms were next to each other. It was already dark. Chu Yan picked up some food for Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang said softly, “Thank you.”

Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and smiled. “You can return the favor.”

Liu Sanniang picked up a piece of beef for Chu Yan and he started eating.

After eating, they washed up and went to bed.

At the Xuanyi Mansion.

Wei s.h.i.+lai only returned late at night. This was not the first time a replacement case had appeared. After reading the case report, the emperor frowned. Qian Rangli only had one son. Although Qian Jin was the one who committed the murder, he wasn’t in his right mind back then and was a victim himself.

The emperor asked Wei s.h.i.+lai to transfer Ruoxue to the prison and close the case.

Wei s.h.i.+lai still wanted to say something, but the emperor only waved his hand. “Go back. I’ll discuss it with the State Minister. Don’t worry. Remember not to spread this matter and cause chaos and panic in the capital.”

Since the emperor had already said so, Wei s.h.i.+lai could only take his leave.

When Wei s.h.i.+lai returned to the mansion, he went straight to the main courtyard. Mrs. Wei helped him change his clothes and instructed the servants. “Go and get some food.”

Wei s.h.i.+lai hadn’t taken a bite during the entire day.

Wei s.h.i.+lai felt relieved. “Thank you. Are Miss Liu and Chu Yan staying here?”

Mrs. Wei replied with a sigh. “Miss Liu isn’t staying in the mansion. She said that she wants to stay in the capital for a few days. She will tell us once she finds a place.”

Wei s.h.i.+lai was stunned. “Miss Liu wants to stay in the capital?”

Mrs. Wei nodded. “Yes, she said that she has something to do. And, the Third Prince will hold a banquet three days later and wants you to go over with Miss Liu.”

Wei s.h.i.+lai sighed. “Miss Liu must have her own reasons for staying. I should believe her.”

In the capital, there were evil people everywhere. In just a few months, he had started to become paranoid. Thinking about what Liu Sanniang had done ever since they got to know each other, Wei s.h.i.+lai shook his head. He was thinking too much. Liu Sanniang wouldn’t be corrupted by evil.

Mrs. Wei ma.s.saged Wei s.h.i.+lai’s shoulders. “You’re thinking too much. Miss Liu is a good person.”

Wei s.h.i.+lai patted the back of Mrs. Wei’s hand. “Thank you for always staying by my side. In a few years, I’ll resign from my position. At that time, we can leave and find a beautiful place to live.”

Madam Wei smiled. “Then, I’ll be waiting for that day to come.”

Ever since she entered the capital, Mrs. Wei rarely smiled like this. The women that the Third Prince gave Wei s.h.i.+lai were like thorns in her side. She knew that it was not Wei s.h.i.+lai’s fault, but she could not control herself from feeling jealous and angry.

In this matter, most women did not have much rationality.

Wei s.h.i.+lai finally felt better. The case of the Ministry of War was finally over and his life was saved.
