d down to capture her thin lips with pinpoint accuracy.An Xuetang was stunned for a moment, then naturally raised her hand to circle around his waist, pulling him close, and slightly tiptoed to respon...Yang Xingming didn't want to go back to the village at all. If it weren't for running out of silver, he wouldn't come back even if he died.

He returned empty-handed and felt terribly dejected, but before leaving the village, he still went to the wooden house where An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing used to live.

He knocked, but there was no answer. He waited for a moment at the door before turning and leaving.

After he walked away, An Xue Tang slowly emerged from behind a certain tree. She stared thoughtfully at Yang Xing Ming's departing figure, her eyes narrowing slightly.

What is Yang Ximing doing here

But she didn't have time to pay him any mind right now. An Xue Tang called out to the two subordinates who had been watching day and night here.

An Xuetang looked at them and asked, "Over the past two days, have there been any strangers in the village Whether male or female, young or old, just tell me if there have been any."

Both shook their heads, "Miss Hui, there have been no outsiders in the village these past two days."

A flash of disappointment crossed An Xuetang's eyes.

Yunliu, where are you now Are you safe! Did you bring back the Lily of the Valley

An Xuetang's eyes fell, her gaze filled with dejection. She uttered a feeble admonition, "There's a high chance people will come to the village these next two days. Keep a close watch and send any news back to the manor immediately."

Two people bowed, "Yes."

An Xue Tang entered the wooden hut and checked it over, but she didn't find anything. The signal Mo Yun Jing left for Yun Liu was still there, which confirmed that Yun Liu hadn't returned.

She eventually had to leave, and she didn't return to the estate. Instead, she went into town.

An Xuetang put on makeup, transforming herself into a woman in her 40s. Logically, she should have gone unnoticed in this guise.

But she was still stopped at the city gate, and two people came over with a portrait. They looked at her face and found nothing unusual before letting her into the city.

An Xuetang had excellent eyesight. She saw the portrait and it was indeed Yunliu.

From their posture, she surmised that Yun Liu was most likely hiding in some corner of this city.

After entering the city, An Xuetang went to the clinic. Seeing the mess in the clinic, she frowned, "Xiao Liu, Xiaoli, what on earth happened"

Hearing An Xue Tang's voice, Xiao Liu and Xiao Li looked up. Though this was a strange face, they knew by her voice that it was their young mistress, An Xue Tang.

The two immediately burst into tears and apologized to An Xuetang, “Sister Ah Tang, we don't know what happened today. Suddenly, a group of people rushed in and turned the entire clinic upside down, as if looking for someone. They even held a knife to our necks and asked us if we had seen the man in the portrait.”

An Xuetang immediately understood what was going on. After all, this was a clinic, so it was normal for people to suspect Yunliu would come here.

But this also indirectly indicates that Yunliu is very likely injured, so those people suspect he will come to the medical hall for treatment.

An Xue Tang frowned, sizing them up. "Did any of you get hurt"

Xiao Liu looked at the many herbs being thrown onto the ground and trampled, her heart aching.

An Xuetang didn't care about these things. She instructed, "You two shouldn't open the door for the next two days. The city isn't safe right now. The clinic won't be open for business these two days either. If we continue to open, they will come again."

Xiaoliu and Xiaoli were terrified. After looking at each other, they nodded, "Yes."

An Xuetang told them to close the door and pack their things, then she left the clinic.

She had wanted to go find Ding Hua and ask him how his search was going. After all, Ding Hua was the head of the Cang Hai Trading Company here, and his people could slip into every corner to find someone.

But as soon as she got close to the Cang Hai Trading Company, she saw that it was surrounded by people.

What's going on

Just as An Xuetang was about to walk forward and investigate, someone suddenly grabbed her sleeve.

An Xue Tang slightly narrowed her eyes, turned her head, and saw it was Qin Jun Chen. Did he recognize her

As expected, Qin Junchen's next words confirmed that he had recognized her.

"An Xuetang, come with me."

An Xue Tang helplessly, she could only follow him to a small corner, "Qin Jun Chen, how did you recognize me"

"Your eyes."

..."...

Can this even work

Qin Jun's eyes darkened. Of course, he wouldn't tell her that her eyes appeared in his dreams every night, so it was only natural that he could recognize them.

An Xuetang was too lazy to waste words with him. She got straight to the point, "Do you have something to say to me"

Qin Junchen took out an envelope and handed it to her.

An Xuetang didn't know what he was up to. She took it and looked at it, the more she looked, the deeper her frown became.

After reading it, she pursed her lips and returned the letter to Qin Junchen, "So what do you mean by showing me this What are you trying to tell me"

Qin Junchen's expression was grave. "This letter came from the capital. Prince Mo Yunze and his party are undercover in this city, and they are currently sitting in the Cang Hai Trading Company."

Fourth Prince

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, wasn't this person just her family ah Jing Mingyi's nominal fourth brother

Although An Xuetang was in turmoil, she still looked at Qin Junshen calmly. "So what You're telling me this to prevent me from reporting to the Fourth Prince To silence me"

Qin Junchen shook his head helplessly, "I know you're not that kind of person. I formally apologize to you for what my mother did before. I'm sorry."

"The grievances between me and the Qin family have dissipated with your mother's departure. There's no need to dwell on the past. Just tell me, why did you reveal Prince Four's identity to me"

Qin Jun sighed, "I remember your husband's surname is Yun."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Well, so what"

"The sudden appearance of the Fourth Prince this time is without purpose, I suspect he is after the vanished Fifth Prince."

"..." Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly.

Qin Jun remained oblivious to her emotional shift, continuing, "Since the Fifth Prince disappeared, people searching for him have never stopped. Now there are even rumors from the Northern Frontier that he's still alive. So, it's highly likely that the Fourth Prince came here primarily to find the Fifth Prince."

Speaking of which, Qin Jun sank his eyes meaningfully at An Xuetang, "And your husband's surname is Yun, I guess he must be a member of the Fifth Prince Yun's army. You must be careful now and not let anyone notice you, otherwise if the Fourth Prince finds out your husband's identity, both of you will surely die!"

An Xuetang frowned, "What is the Fourth Prince like Does he want to find the Fifth Prince to kill him"

Qin Junchen smiled helplessly, "It seems your husband didn't tell you anything, did he The Fifth Prince is a supporter of the former Crown Prince. Besides the former Crown Prince, who wouldn't want the Fifth Prince dead"

How can you be sure that the person in the Canghai Merchant House now is the Fourth Prince, and not someone else

"Don't forget that I was once a member of the capital's elite. It's not unusual for me to have met the Fourth Prince."

An Xuetang wanted to say something more, but she instantly became alert and pulled Qin Junchen deeper into the corner.ing to say.But for now, he didn't expose it, only leisurely raised his teacup and took a sip.An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile, and after beckoning Shou'er and Kang'er to leave, she cleared her...
