“What are you doing?” An Yuan trembled in anger. “You don’t even know that a living person has disappeared?! Where’s Ji Xiang? Why isn’t Ji Xiang here?”

“Ji Xiang has also disappeared,” Uncle Fu said with difficulty.

“What?! She’s too bold? In that case, then…” An Yuan made a throat-slitting gesture.

In the past, Uncle Fu would have left without another word, but this was different.

“Madam, you can’t! There are so many eyes on our general’s residence now. I wonder who’s behind this. Second Master has already been demoted. If we do anything now, it won’t be good for Second Master!”

!!

“We can investigate. There are many things we can’t do,” said Uncle Fu.

An Yuan took a deep breath and composed herself. For the sake of her precious son, she could only do this for now.

However, what An Yuan didn’t expect was that a few days later, this matter actually involved Jiang Ying.

“What does this have to do with the heir of Prince Jin?” An Yuan frowned, unable to figure out what was going on.

“Madam, have you forgotten about Miss Ning Yue?” Uncle Fu suddenly said a name that An Yuan forgot about.

“Her?” An Yuan’s frown deepened.

“Yes, how could I have forgotten about her? Back then, I wanted her to marry into Prince Jin’s residence. Who knew that she would be so impudent? She actually got pregnant with a bastard and lost this good marriage for nothing. But didn’t I throw her into the countryside? What has she got to do with this?” An Yuan looked puzzled.

“That shouldn’t be the case. Back then, Jiang Ying said that he didn’t want to marry the child of the general’s residence, so I sent that little bastard back.” An Ning couldn’t figure it out. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t figure it out.

“Madam, since we’ve found the heir of Prince Jin, it means that this matter is related to King Jin’s Estate. It’s very likely that King Jin’s Estate already knows about this. We have to be careful!”

An Yuan took a deep breath and rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. Why were there so many things happening recently? She was almost out of breath.

The chaos in the general’s residence was reasonable, but Ning Yue, who was far away in Laifu Village, could not sleep. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the old madam.

The next day, she had a pair of dark circles under her eyes. She looked much more haggard.

After breakfast, she went to the medicinal room. Gu Yu was studying some new things.

“Disciple, why are you thinking so much? What do you want to do? I’ll accompany you!” As he spoke, Gu Yu took out a beautiful porcelain bottle.

“This is a new ointment I’ve developed. If you wipe your face with it, your face will always be tender. How is it, Master? Am I good?” Gu Yu asked with a smile.

Ning Yue took the ointment from Gu Yu. She was very touched. Gu Yu would think of her no matter what. This master really doted on her.

“Master, I’m here to ask for your help. Can you develop a medicine that can make people tell the truth?” Ning Yue asked.

In the modern era, there was a kind of medicine that could force confessions out of people. If one used that medicine, one could tell the truth. Unfortunately, her space was only in an ordinary shopping mall. There was no such thing.

“Yes, I still have some in stock. How much do you want? If it’s not enough, I’ll make more.” As he spoke, Gu Yu took out the medicinal powder.

“Disciple, this thing isn’t omnipotent. It won’t take effect immediately. You have to wait until her will is weak before you use it. Only then will it be easier to succeed,” Gu Yu said.

“There’s another type of medicine. It’s also self-protective. This medicine can make one dazed for a while. It’s enough for you to escape when you encounter danger.” Gu Yu handed another bottle of medicine to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue looked at the medicine bottle in her hand and felt touched.

“Thank you, Master. By the way, Master, I have something on tonight. I’ll have to trouble you to stay at home,” Ning Yue said.

She was worried that the people from the General’s Residence would investigate the Ning family, so she could only ask her master for help.

“Don’t worry and go do your work. By the way, I have a medicinal powder to give you. You have to be careful.” As he spoke, he took out another porcelain bottle.

“This thing is called Corpse Dissolving Powder. It can melt corpses. If you’re alive, you have to be careful not to touch the Corpse Dissolving Powder. If you touch it, I won’t be able to save you.”

Ning Yue accepted the ancient medicine. This was simply a must-have for destroying corpses and evidence!

“Thank you, Master!” Ning Yue left happily.

That night, she handed the two children over to Madam He. After the Ning family fell asleep, she quietly left the house.

In an empty space, she took out the SUV from her space.

In ancient times, there were no traffic police, and no one was investigating speeding. She had calculated the distance. This place was very close to the capital. At 180 kilometers per hour, she could reach the capital in two to three hours.

!!
She couldn’t sit still anymore. She wanted to visit the General’s residence.

She was taking a small path. Although the road was uneven, the SUVs were more mobile. Most importantly, no one would take the small path at night, so she didn’t have to worry about being seen.

She drove to the capital very quickly. The city gates were open, and there were people patrolling. Ning Yue put the car into her space, dressed up a little, and swaggered into the city with Jiang Ying’s bronze medal.

“Why would someone from Prince Jin’s Estate come to the capital at this time?” The guard at the city gate asked.

This was because a lord who had a fief usually could not return to the capital. Even if he only sent someone back, the guards had to interrogate him as usual.

This was the capital, the imperial city. One had to be very careful when working here.

“The Prince asked me to come to his mansion in the capital to clean up. He’ll be back in a few days to celebrate the Empress Dowager’s birthday,” Ning Yue explained. She remembered that Jiang Ying had told her about this.

As expected, the guard didn’t suspect anything. After asking a few questions, he let Ning Yue through when there were no further questions.

Ning Yue entered the city and tried to sneak into the general’s residence under the cover of night.

However, the general’s residence was heavily guarded. After searching for a long time, she still couldn’t find an opening. After some thought, she took out a packet of medicinal powder.

A gust of wind blew, and the medicinal powder scattered in the wind. Yawning sounds also rose and fell.

While the guards were not paying attention, she slipped into the general’s residence.

She walked to the courtyard where she used to live. Looking at this dilapidated courtyard, her heart was filled with emotion.

The Host had suffered here for the rest of her life.

After sizing her up for a while, a maidservant happened to pass by. It seemed that she was returning to the servants’ room.

She hid behind the rockery and waited for the servant girl to pass by before knocking her out.

She would not let her hands be stained with the blood of everyone in the general’s residence. She would only tear off the veil that covered the general’s residence.

What she wanted was for the reputation of the general’s residence to be ruined!

After changing into the servant girl’s clothes, Ning Yue walked openly to An Yuan’s courtyard. She looked around and saw that An Yuan had sent all the servants away to discuss some matters.

With no one around, it would be convenient for her to do anything!

Ning Yue was lying on the roof. Just as she lifted the tiles, she heard An Yuan call Uncle Fu.

She suddenly recalled what Li Zhen, the mute maidservant, had said. She immediately held her breath and listened carefully.

The original owner of this body had been subjected to many restrictions in the General’s Residence. Most of her memories were of the pain the General’s Residence had caused her. She had no impression of this butler, Uncle Fu, whom she had only met briefly. She had even found Uncle Fu in the corner of her memory.

She just didn’t expect Uncle Fu to be working for the old lady.

“It’s been so many days. Can’t you find out who Second Master has offended?” An Yuan asked angrily.

Second Master? Ning Yue frowned. Could that Second Master be the second son of An Yuan and the old general, Ning Yuan?

“Madam, I was incompetent. I couldn’t find out.” Uncle Fu lowered his head.

Before An Yuan could curse, he continued, “Madam, I’ve used the power of the General’s Residence, but I still can’t find anything. I suspect that this matter is related to… that.”

Uncle Fu didn’t say what it was, but Ning Yue could clearly see him pointing at the sky.

An Yuan’s eyes widened. “Royal family? Are you guessing or certain?”

“Madam, this servant is just guessing. Although the General’s Residence has a high status and power, it’s not as high as the royal family. In the entire world, only the royal family can make things difficult for the General’s Residence.”

An Yuan’s face turned pale. He had caused trouble!

Someone was afraid that he could no longer remain neutral in this battle for the throne.

“Investigate! Investigate! I want to see which royal descendant is so reckless. Even in death, he wants to drag my general’s residence down with him!” An Yuan slammed the table.
