581 Kidnapped (3)

Xuanyuan Ce sneered. “What? Is this how your Fragrant Teahouse treats guests?”

Guard Luo waved her hand to dismiss them and apologized with cupped fists. “We’re also thinking about your safety.”

Mo Ying let go of her clenched fists under her sleeve and stood up to smooth things over. “Your Highness, Guard Luo is also on duty. Please forgive her this once. When you come next time, Mo Ying will play for you again, alright?”

“Hmph, what a spoilsport.” Xuanyuan Ce glanced at Guard Luo. When he looked at Mo Ying, his expression changed again. He smiled and said, “On your account, I’ll forget about what happened today.”

Mo Ying smiled obsequiously and gave Guard Luo a look. The latter bowed and retreated, not forgetting to help close the door.

Hearing the gradually fading footsteps, Mo Ying’s body went limp and she sat on the ground. Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief and quickly went with Song Jingchen to put back the broken window.

Due to this matter, the few of them did not stay long. After Mo Ying calmed down, they bade farewell.

“Please help me give this to Shuang’er.” She took out a stack of banknotes from the dressing table.

These were all so-called rewards. She had dreamed of them in the past, but after coming here, she had no chance to use them.

Shen Yijia paused. It should be more than ten thousand taels. This person was not afraid that she would take it all for herself.

“I believe you,” Mo Ying said with a faint smile.

Moreover, she did not know if what happened today would be traced back to her. Once it was investigated, she would lose her life. What more money would she need?

They went out the same way. Their eyes were covered the entire time. When they opened them again, they were already back in the loft.

Xuanyuan Ce left the Fragrant Teahouse with a dark expression.

The manager of Fragrant Teahouse was puzzled.

After returning to Xuanyuan Ce’s residence, Shen Yijia told him what she had seen and heard guiltily.

At the mention of those women being punished, she clenched her fists and her face puffed up with anger.

Xuanyuan Ce and Song Jingchen were also angry, but more importantly…

Xuanyuan Ce thought to himself, “This little girl is ignorant. It’s not her fault!”

Song Jingchen thought to himself, “Fortunately, my wife didn’t go and take a look!”

“I also saw that aunt. Unfortunately, she was wearing a veil, so I didn’t see her clearly.”

Shen Yijia scratched her head in frustration.

That voice made her feel like a fishbone was stuck in her throat, but she couldn’t remember who it was.

“Also, from the conversation between that aunt and Luoyin, Fragrant Teahouse is about to close down.”

Actually, Shen Yijia wanted to say that this matter could not be delayed any longer. Otherwise, the women who were being punished would really die.

However, she didn’t want to pressure Song Jingchen.

“It should be because of Chen Duo’er,” Song Jingchen analyzed. Seeing Shen Yijia’s eagerness, he rubbed her head and comforted her. “I’ll enter the palace in two days.”

His luck was better than Shen Yijia’s. The first room had a big fish in it.

He had previously guessed that the mastermind had promised the old prince some benefits before he provided the place.

However, he did not expect that the person who was rumored to have a deep relationship with his wife and did not abandon her after soaring into the sky had such a hobby in private.

Thinking of what he had seen, Song Jingchen’s face darkened.

Shen Yijia was stunned and asked worriedly, “Hubby, what did you see?”

This appearance was quite scary!

Song Jingchen came back to his senses and regained his usual calmness. He pulled Shen Yijia’s hand. “It’s nothing. I’m just a little angry to hear you say that.”

“Is that so?” Shen Yijia felt that he was lying.

However, Song Jingchen clearly wouldn’t tell her about those dirty things.

He only said that he had seen the old prince.

“Are you prepared to attack the old prince?” Xuanyuan Ce glanced at their clasped hands and asked.

Song Jingchen nodded. “The old prince isn’t a smart person.”

According to Mo Ying, in the entire Fragrant Teahouse, only that aunt and the old prince knew who the mastermind was.

However, they did not know who that aunt was at all. The fastest way was the old king.

In addition, Shen Yijia was right. This matter could not be delayed any longer.

Although they had successfully escaped today, they had alerted the enemy.

Who knew if that lunatic would kill all those women to silence them like before?

Therefore, they could not wait any longer!

After leaving Xuanyuan Ce’s residence, Shen Yijia specially went to the wine shop to tell Pinellia about this. She handed her the banknotes Mo Ying had given her before returning home with Song Jingchen.

Song Jingchen said that they couldn’t wait any longer. Shen Yijia thought that he had to make a plan before taking action. Unexpectedly, as soon as she lay down, South Wind knocked on the door.

Then, she saw four people in the cellar other than Chen Duo’er.

Three of them were tied up and thrown to the ground.

An old man about the same age as Dean Lu was tied to a chair.

Although she had never seen him before, Shen Yijia immediately guessed this person’s identity—the old prince!
