My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 116 Doubt

Fu Shiyan stood quietly in the courtyard, staring at the princess expressionlessly, and then said in an indifferent and calm tone: "Thank you, Prince Rui, for your concern for the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The princess walked towards him slowly, the tenderness in her eyes seemed to flow out of her eyes, she grabbed his sleeve and spoke gently.

"The person you should thank the most is me. If it weren't for you, why would I have gotten into all this trouble?"

Fu Shiyan stared into her eyes, his tone was a little chilly, "Oh? Princess, is this for me?"

The princess smiled slightly and stretched out her arms to hug Fu Shiyan's waist.

Her fingers gently stroked his broad, solid back, feeling the warmth and strength of his body. "Since we first met as children, you have been the only one in my heart. No matter what happens, I am willing to stay by your side. I will never marry anyone but you in this life."

Her words were firm and persistent, revealing the sincere emotions deep in her heart.

However, facing the princess's passionate confession, Fu Shiyan did not waver at all. He still stood straight, like an unshakable mountain.

Fu Shiyan pushed the princess away and said, "The princess is of noble status, I cannot reach her level. Please respect yourself, princess!"

The princess hugged him tighter, "No, I don't care about status, I only care about you. Shi Yan, don't you like me at all?"

Fu Shiyan pried open the princess's hand and said, "Princess, please don't bother me. I have no improper thoughts about you. I am grateful for the help of Prince Rui. I will not trouble you again in the future."

The princess looked into Fu Shiyan's eyes and said, "I don't care. I'm going to marry you. Your business is my business."

After saying that, she turned and left, secretly vowing to make Fu Shiyan fall in love with her.

Fu Shiyan looked at the princess's departing back, feeling helpless.

He shook his head and turned back to his own courtyard.

At this time, Shi Nuan, who was standing in the room, opened the door, walked out slowly, and fell into deep thought as he looked at his brother's back. His brother's heart had long been occupied by the responsibilities and mission of the family. If there was someone in his heart, that person must be Sister Huaying. Why did this princess come to join in the fun?

Fu Shiyan returned to the study and sat at the desk. He unfolded the mysterious scroll, which was covered with dense words and symbols, and the most eye-catching thing was the people marked with stars.

Fu Shiyan frowned and wondered in his heart: Who is this marked person?

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly raised his head and shouted to the door: "Fu Feng, come in!"

Fu Feng didn't dare to delay at all after hearing this. He quickly walked into the study, bowed respectfully and said, "Master, what can I do for you?"

Fu Shiyan tapped the table with his fingers. "Find a few reliable people to sneak into these mansions for secret investigations and draw maps of the mansions. Ask them to report to you every three days."

Fu Feng took the list, glanced at it, and found the names of powerful families such as Zuo Chengfu and Rui Wangfu on it.

He was fully aware of the sensitivity of this mission and withdrew as ordered.

Fu Shiyan buried his head in the secret scroll again, carefully examining every word and every clue, and carefully circled the suspicious points with pen and ink.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Huaying of Molan Pavilion stood alone in the corridor, quietly gazing at the white snow in the distance, with worry on her face, thinking about her wheat fields and the villagers who took care of them.

Huaying sighed softly, turned to Qinghe beside her and said, "Have you ever sent winter supplies to the fellow villagers on the river bank?"

Qing He smiled and replied, "Miss, you forgot that as early as the beginning of winter, you ordered people to send enough cotton clothes and charcoal. The villagers were very grateful and asked someone to tell you not to worry."

After hearing this, Huaying felt a little relieved.

Qinghe saw that the young lady looked worried and did not dare to say anything.

Huaying's gaze once again fell on Chang'an Street in the distance, and her thoughts had already drifted in the direction of Fu Shiyan.

A few days later, at night, Fu Feng gently knocked on the master's door. After receiving his consent, he walked up to the master and presented the map. "Master, according to the information sent back by the informant, there is nothing unusual in Zuo Chengfu and Rui Wangfu. The same is true for other places."

Upon hearing the news, Fu Shiyan frowned slightly and checked the doubts written on the paper, but still couldn't find the key to the problem.

Just when Fu Shiyan was in trouble, he saw a unique mark and an inexplicable expectation surged in his heart.

He circled the address with a pen, which was the Yue Lao Temple in the suburbs.
