After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 361 New clues

Qi Yunxu knew that Shen Nanzhi was naughty, but he didn't expect her to be so naughty. She disguised herself as a man and even became sworn brothers with others?

Can she have some basic understanding of herself? How can she play like this?

There is no way to be angry, the person has already left with Duke Shen.

Ling Feng once again sympathized with his master. With such a princess, life was truly wonderful.

Shen Nanzhi followed Duke Shen and left, searching each house on the list one by one, and the first house they went to was Prince Yu's Mansion.

In addition to the little emperor, the emperor has three adult princes, namely Prince Yu, Prince Ding, and Prince An. The three princes have already started families, left the palace and set up their own residences, and have their own fiefdoms.

Originally they wanted to go to their respective fiefdoms, but Qi Yunxu wouldn't allow them to leave at this time. Wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, which would cause endless troubles?

At the very least, we have to wait until the emperor comes of age and the country is stable, and then let them become idle princes.

The first stop was Prince Yu's Mansion. Prince Yu was so angry that he looked at the murderous Duke Shen and said, "Duke Shen, what are you crazy about? If your daughter is missing, you can't find me. Do you still have respect for superiors and subordinates?"

Before Duke Shen could say anything, Shen Nanzhi stepped forward and said, "You also know that the Duke's beloved daughter is missing. Now everyone is a suspect. You don't allow us to search. Are you feeling guilty?"

"I don't have it."

"If you don't have any, then let them come. You can have your servants follow you, but if you block the search, it means you are guilty. Don't feel ashamed. You are just the first family, which means His Royal Highness Prince Yu has a high status and is giving you face."

"You, who are you? Do you have the right to speak?"

Jia Yi took out the token and said, "My son is from the Regent Palace and represents our prince. Your Highness Prince Yu is better off being obedient. My son has a bad temper."

Prince Yu was helpless. This was the first time his house was searched in his life.

"Step aside."

Prince Yu had no choice but to compromise. There were simply too many of them. All five military camps had been dispatched, and with the regent's order, he did not dare to resist forcefully.

After the search, no one was found, but other things were found. It turned out that Prince Yu's Mansion had several pale-faced minor officials, who were dressed seductively and charmingly, regardless of gender. This opened Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

Duke Shen didn't even bother to laugh at him, "Next, Prince Ding's Mansion."

Everyone mounted their horses and left. Prince Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Hmph, go ahead and try your best. You are awesome for finding the person."

The trusted attendant asked, "Your Majesty, who kidnapped Miss Shen? Do you know anything?"

"Of course I know something, but no one can tell. Let them fight each other."

The attendant's eyes flashed and he didn't ask any more questions, otherwise Prince Yu would become suspicious.

On the way, Lord Shen and Shen Nanzhi said, "Brother, you are quick and efficient, just like me, so let's search separately, it will be more efficient.

I hope you will take extra care of your niece's safety."

The corner of Jiayi's mouth twitched. Duke Shen really knew how to raise the girl's status. If he knew the girl's identity in the future, his expression would be so interesting.

"Since you trust me, I will take the lead. I am still waiting for my niece to serve me tea."

"Thank you for your hard work, bro."

The list was divided, with Duke Shen sending those who were the royal family members, and Shen Nanzhi sending those who were of lower status, so as not to offend anyone too powerful.

Shen Nanzhi was a stranger, but he had the token of the Regent and it was Duke Shen who gave the order, so the search went smoothly.

Shen Nanzhi had seen quite a few rare things. The inner houses of these big families were quite lively, and he had also rescued several abducted girls. He wrote them down in a small notebook and asked Qi Yunxu to deal with them.

After working for a whole day and night, they finished searching the entire list. Except for the imperial palace, they searched almost every part of the capital.

But nothing was found, not even a clue.

When they gathered back at the Duke's Mansion, Princess Anguo was waiting for news. She prepared food for them to eat quickly. She was constantly wiping away tears and looked much more haggard.

"No news yet, Duke. Did Ke Ning meet with any misfortune?"

"Don't think so. No news is also good news. Is there anything unusual at home?"

"Everything is fine at home. Many people came to visit me, but I sent them away. Who has the mood to entertain them at this time?"

Shen Nanzhi drank two cups of tea and said, "Princess, I think you should see that you can see some problems from the attitudes of these people.

When they test you, they may be revealing their thoughts. Sometimes women are very sensitive and may give you clues."

"Who is this……"

"He is the regent's man and my sworn brother. He helped me with the search and was a great help."

Princess Anguo said indifferently, "Thank you for your hard work. What should I call you? I don't know when the Duke got a sworn brother."

"My name is Nanzhi. It was indeed hasty for me to become sworn brothers with the Duke. I didn't even know he was the Duke at that time."

Shen Nanzhi explained that Princess Anguo was a very suspicious woman.

"So that's how it is. My Duke is used to making trouble. Please don't blame me, Master Nan."

"You are too polite, Princess. Can you think of anything unusual about the day Miss Shen disappeared? You just happened to be out for so long, didn't you stop Miss Shen from going out?"

When this was mentioned, Princess Anguo fell into deep thought, "It was the eldest lady of the Cheng family. She asked me out, saying that we were going to enjoy the flowers. Every word she said was about that woman from the Prince Regent's Palace. Did she look down on Ke Ning?

Can I accept her bullying? I argued with her for a long time, and then she dragged me to watch an opera. The one she invited was my favorite Yu Xiaolou. Boss Yu, who usually doesn’t interact with people, should have come to see me in person that time, and even sang a few pieces…”

The more he talked about it, the more he felt something was wrong. She was just delaying time and holding him back, which was why she came back late.

He stood up angrily and said, "I'm going to ask the Cheng family for clarification."

"No, Princess, there is no evidence. We have also searched the Cheng family and found nothing unusual."

Duke Shen said, "I searched the place myself. The Cheng family was very friendly and didn't stop me at all. They took the initiative to invite me to the inner house and even let me see the cellar. There was indeed no one hiding there."

Shen Nanzhi's eyes moved, "No, this is not normal. The Cheng family has always been arrogant. I have experienced it. The regent king did not take it seriously. During the speech, no one dared to provoke the Cheng family. How could his family have a good temper?"

Duke Shen also came to his senses and said, "You mean his family did it on purpose? He has already made arrangements for the aftermath and is not afraid of our search.

The person is not in the Cheng family, but he must be related to the Cheng family. "

"Yes, check how many villas and manors the Cheng family has, or the whereabouts of the Cheng family masters in the past few days."

"I'll go right away."

Duke Shen had no time to rest. His daughter had been missing for two days and two nights. The longer the delay, the greater the danger she would be in.

Princess Anguo was frustrated and blamed herself: "What should I do? It's all my fault. If I hadn't been delayed by the Cheng family, I wouldn't have visited Yu Xiaolou, but Ning wouldn't have disappeared."

Shen Nanzhi's feelings towards her are very complicated. They are a loving couple, which is also the reason why the original owner could not return home.

She even participated in the persecution of the original owner, so she should be an enemy, but she was in so much pain for her daughter that she couldn't hate him for a moment.

After all, Shen Nanzhi is not the original owner, so she cannot empathize with her love, hatred, and emotions, and is just an outsider.
