Chapter 2135: The Young Madam from the Yao Family Has Arrived

Shu Yu understood. Jiang Kuangyu and the deputy escort head's families had all returned to the north. People would generally follow the principle of taking care of family members who were closer, so it made sense to search in the north.

Therefore, searching in the north was not unreasonable.

Meng Yunzheng continued, "In addition to Jiang Kuangyu and the others, there was also some misleading information. Qi Lie and the others have been diligently searching for some clues that pointed north."

Shu Yu was puzzled, "Misleading information? How can you be sure it was misleading?"

"After searching the north for so long without results, the Emperor began to have doubts. Plus, your letter indicated that there was no black market in the north. Now they are going to search in the southwest to see if they can find anything."

If they couldn't find anything, then that letter might indeed be misleading.

Clearly, even though the Second Prince had been captured and imprisoned for a year, the external forces were still formidable. This was the reason the Emperor had not executed him yet; he was afraid that these forces might resort to drastic measures, harming the people.

However, continuing in this manner was not a long-term solution.

When she saw him frowning and looking at a specific point on the table without saying anything, Shu Yu reached out and waved her hand in front of him, asking, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Meng Yunzheng raised his head and exhaled, "I just feel like something is about to happen."

"Why do you say that?"

"The Second Prince has been imprisoned for a year," Meng Yunzheng replied softly, "During this year, the prison has been heavily guarded, and everyone expected someone to come and rescue him. However, nothing unexpected has happened so far."

Shu Yu's heart skipped a beat; this was indeed very unusual.

Meng Yunzheng lightly tapped the table with his fingers and said, "The imperial examination is about to begin. I hope nothing happens in the next few days." If there were any disturbances during the imperial examination, it would be a major problem.

This topic was too serious, and Shu Yu didn't have detailed information, so she didn't press further.

After Meng Yunzheng finished speaking, he didn't continue but picked up the drawings on the table, saying, "After I arrived in the capital, I contacted some people to keep an eye on available shops for sale. The location you marked is excellent, but there might not be any suitable shops."

This was the capital, where wealthy people abounded, and shops were in high demand, especially in prime locations.

Shu Yu shook her head, "It's fine; I can rent one if I can't find one to buy."

"Let Xia Yan take you to see that contact on another day."

As they talked about Xia Yan, he hurried over, saying, "Master, Miss, the Young Madam from the Yao family has arrived."

The Young Madam from the Yao family?

That should be Kang Shi, right?

Shu Yu immediately stood up, and she and Meng Yunzheng walked to the courtyard. They saw Kang Shi entering the gate.

When she saw Shu Yu, Kang Shi immediately smiled, "Ah Yu, it's really you. When did you arrive in the capital?"

"I just arrived last night. I was planning to visit Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao with my sister tomorrow."

"Your sister is here too?"

Shu Yu nodded and said, "She and her husband went out and haven't returned yet."

After Xia Yan brought tea, Shu Yu sat opposite Kang Shi and curiously asked, "Why did you come at this hour?"

It was already evening, and most people wouldn't visit at this time.
