Chapter 643 Dangerous Move


    Yun Shang was surprised at her words. She looked at Lady Liu and asked, "Your daughter... Is your


    daughter the concubine of the seventh princes? Hasn''t she... Why was the pearl on her shoes here? Is


    it because you miss her so much that you took the pearl on her shoe with you, and it fell down


    identally just now? "


    Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "No, No. That''s just the pair of shoes Chuchu wore when she had


    the ident. I remember that I personally embroidered the shoes for her. I know exactly the stitches on


    the shoes."


    The seventh prince also looked over. He thought for a moment and said, "A few days ago, Lord Li


    found out that the bloodstains in the yard were not human blood. Moreover, we haven''t found Liu


    Chuchu''s body. The shoes... The shoes have also disappeared with her corpse. "


    "Really?" Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, with a sneer and a bit indifference on his face. "You mean


    you suspect that Liu Chuchu''s corpse or Liu Chuchu herself is in my mansion?"


    The seventh prince shook his head and said, "No. I don''t think you would do such a thing. But if the


    pearl was indeed from her shoes, someone must want to frame you. Since Lord Li from the Ministry of


    Justice is here, we might as well ask him to search your mansion in order to spare you from


    suspicions."


    "Spare me from suspicions?" "You must be joking. How could you make such a scene on the New


    Year''s Day?" he said with a smile.


    Yun Shang smiled and said, "After all, the ident happened to the seventh prince''s concubine who is


    the daughter of Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu, so it was very exciting to see something rted to Miss Liu.


    However, after we moved into the mansion, we chose a rtively quiet yard to live in. The main yard is


    opposite to ake, and we seldome on the other side. Perhaps what the seventh prince has said is


    right. Someone might have nned to frame us. If we couldn''t find out the truth, no body could be


    rxed to celebrate the New Year''s Day. Even I felt so scared. Let''s just ask Lord Li to investigate it


    thoroughly?"


    Although Luo Qingyan seemed reluctant, he nodded at Yun Shang, "Okay. It''s up to you. It''s really a


    bad luck to have something like this on the New Year''s Day. You''re pregnant now, so don''t get yourself


    involved in such things."


    "It''s just a pearl! And the seventh prince has said that Liu Chuchu might not have died!" Yun Shang


    patted Luo Qingyan''s hand with a smile and turned to Liu Yinfeng and Li Qianmo, "Thank you."


    Li Qianmo works for her. She trusts him very much, but she cannot let the seventh prince notice that.


    So she brought Liu Yinfeng in on purpose, showing the seventh prince that she didn''t believe Li


    Qianmo but only Liu Yinfeng.


    Raising his head, Liu Yinfeng nced at Yun Shang. He kept silent for a moment before he made an


    obeisance by cupping his hands.

    Li Qianmo added hastily, "It''s my duty. I will try my best to find out the truth."


    Then Li Qianmo turned around and said to the seventh prince, "I''m afraid we can''t search the mansion


    on our own. Please send someone to deliver a message to the Ministry of Justice, asking them to send


    some people here to help."


    The seventh prince nodded and ordered the servants to do it.


    All the people stood there, waiting. Yun Shang said after standing for a while, "You must be thirsty. Qin


    Yi, go get a tea set and make some tea for us."


    Qin Yi nodded. When she was about to leave, Li Qianmo said hastily, "No. Nobody can leave now. Your


    highness, please understand me."


    Yun Shang paused and looked pale. She nodded, walked to the corridor and sat down. Seeing this,


    Luo Qingyan hurriedly went to her, squatted down and asked, "Are you sick?"


    Yun Shang shook her head, "I''m fine." He nced at the seventh prince, who looked quite proud. He


    seemed to be sure Yun Shang had been intended to make preparation.


    Yun Shang sneered. The seventh prince probably didn''t know that he camete.


    About half an hourter, the butler came in a hurry with the runners from Ministry of Justice. Li Qianmo


    took them to search around. The butler said in a hurry, "Your Highnesses, several masters from Lord


    Hua Guo''s mansion havee with to greet you."


    Taking a look at the others, Yun Shang stood up and said, "May I go to the garden house to receive the


    guests?"


    The seventh prince kept silent for a moment and nodded. "I feel a little tired too. I''ll go to the garden


    house and take a rest."


    Yun Shang sneered and thought, ''The seventh prince is really worried about us.''


    But she didn''t show any expression on her face. She walked to the garden house with Luo Qingyan.


    When they arrived at the gate of the garden house, Yun Shang wore a faint smile on her face and went


    into it with Luo Qingyan. "Happy new year, dear cousins."


    The guests in the garden immediately stood up and greeted, "Prince Rui, Lady Rui, happy New Year!"


    When they saw the the seventh prince and his wife behind them. They bowed again, "Your


    Highnesses."


    Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang sat down on the main seat. And the seventh prince and Hua Yutong took


    the first seat below. Others took their seats.


    As it was New Year''s Day, they all took the children with them. Yan''er rushed to Yun Shang and asked


    eagerly, "Auntie, auntie, has my sister grown up a little?"


    His childish remarks amused Yun Shang. "It''s still early. How could she grow up so soon?"


    "Mom said that it would take a baby ten months toe out." The other boy behind Yan''er hastened to


    catch up with him and said with his hands sped behind his back, looking like a master.


    Yan''er turned to look at him, "Ming''er, is it true? Why didn''t mother tell me that? How long is ten


    months?" Then she turned around, put his head on Yun Shang''s knees, and looked into Yun Shang''s


    eyes, "Aunt, how long is ten months?"


    Yun Shang smiled, "After you catch crickets and cicadas in summer and have the osmanthus honey


    and osmanthus cake in autumn, you will see the brother and sister."


    "What? Why would it take so long? " Yan''er seemed to be a little unhappy, pouting. He walked back to


    Shen Yn.


    Ming''er followed him and murmured, "There is about thirty days in a month, so ten months is about


    three hundred days. You can count one number every day. After counting to three hundred, ten months


    is end."


    Yun Shang smiled again. "Ming''er is really smart."


    The ceremonial call on New Year was nothing more than a formality. They had to pay several calls in


    one day. Soon, they stood up to say goodbye and left early.


    Yun Shang let the butler see them off. Then she turned to Luo Qingyan with a smile, "Yan''er is lively,


    and Ming''er is like a little master who is good at study. These two children are very interesting."


    After talking with the people from the Hua n for a while just now, Hua Yutong seemed to have


    recovered from what happened just now. She smiled and said, "Your Highness, your child must be very


    outstanding, too."


    Yun Shang raised her hand and touched her belly. She said with a smile, "Some of the children from


    other families are vivacious and smart. But for my own baby, I never expect too much. I just hope that


    he will be safe and happy."


    Since Prince Rui had a high position in the court, many people of the court visit Prince Rui''s mansion


    first. After all people from the Hua n left, a few more people came.


    It was''t quiet in the mansion until nearly noon. Yun Shang felt a little tired. She stood up and said to the


    butler, "Have lunch prepared. I''m a little tired now. Ask Mr. Liu and Mr. Li how things are going. I want to


    have a rest after lunch."


    Luo Qingyan nodded and ordered the butler to look for Liu Yinfeng and Li Qianmo.


    After a short while, Li Qianmo and Liu Yinfeng, together with Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu entered the garden


    house. Frowning slightly, the Liu couple looked anxious, while Liu Yinfeng and Li Qianmo looked quite


    calm.


    Yun Shang smiled and ordered servants to prepare tea for them. Then she said gently, "The four of you


    have searched here for almost half a day. Have you found anything?"


    The four looked at each other in dismay. Then, Li Qianmo opened her mouth, "Except for the previous


    pearl, nothing else was found. Although there is something odd about the pearl, we can''t find it out, "


    The seventh prince frowned as if he had a suspicion. Yun Shang thought for a while and asked, "Have


    you searched everywhere in the mansion?"


    Li Qianmo replied: "Yes. I have also sent people to check the yard where Prince Rui and Lady Rui live


    and found nothing."


    "What a coincidence! I and his highness seldom went there. But it happened that the pearl appeared


    there and nearly tripped Yutong over. It''s really odd. But I feel that, as the seventh prince said,


    someone deliberately wanted to frame us. " Yun Shang said indifferently and fixed her eyes on Mrs.


    Liu.


    "By the way, after the seventh prince said something happened to his concubine. I and his highness


    went to the yard to check it with Lord Li. We found that Miss Liu only brought four boxes with her when


    she married into the mansion. And there were only some clothes and daily necessities in those four


    boxes. Even the books in the boxes are ordinary ones that almost every family have. I''m quite curious.


    I heard that Liu Chuchu had a Jiao Wei Qin from his majesty and she liked it very much. And she only


    used the peach blossom stationery and the Hui ink-stick. Why didn''t she bring these things with her into


    the seventh prince''s mansion?"
