Chapter 412: Shocked at the Death of My Nephew
This little nephew was not satisfied with the marriage his mother had arranged for him and ran away from home. He came to Qingzhou alone to find his third uncle Ji Yunchen, who was marrying into the Ye family.
Unexpectedly, he disappeared near Qingzhou. Ji Yunchen, who had received the news earlier, was very worried when he heard that his nephew was missing.
The palace soldiers and guards were sent out to look for the person, but unfortunately, after searching for more than half a month, there was still no news at all.
Until a few days ago, Ji Yunchen's spoiled second daughter Ye Tianjiao heard that someone in Liuzhou had seen someone who looked very similar to Ji Nianfu. Ye Tianjiao happened to be near Liuzhou, so she passed the news back to the Ye family and Ji Yunfei who was looking for him halfway.
That's why they are rushing to Anyang City together now.
"It's my fault too. I didn't take good care of Fu'er and let him be kidnapped. It's all my fault."
Ye Changlin had a face full of guilt and self-blame, with dark circles under his eyes, showing that he had been working very hard these days.
Ji Yunfei comforted her, "Don't blame yourself, Third Sister-in-law. The most urgent thing is to find Fu'er."
Ye Changlin nodded and said, "Second brother is right."
The group hurried and finally arrived at Anyang City before dark.
Xiangyun Inn
The waiter who was soliciting customers at the door saw Ji Yunfei and his group, looking dusty and simple. He put the white cloth in his hands on his shoulders and greeted them warmly with a smile.
"Hey, are you guys here to have a meal or stay overnight?"
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, he heard a surprised shout from the side.
"Homeowner!"
Ye Changlin and others looked sideways and saw a waitress running towards the door of the inn.
"Master, you are finally here."
Ye Changlin recognized this person as the personal maid of her second son, but why did she only see her?
Feeling inexplicably uneasy, he asked, "Where is Tianjiao?"
The waiter saw that they were all acquaintances and tactfully stepped aside.
The maid Zhen'er saw Ye Changlin as if she had seen a savior, and said in panic: "Master, something...something big has happened!"
"The second young lady learned about the cousin's news this morning, and went to the prefectural government office to look for him at noon. She never came back since then!"
"I went to the government office to look for someone, but they said they had never seen the Second Young Lady and kicked me out."
"I didn't believe it, so I bribed a small yamen runner and found out that the second young lady was arrested by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
"What?!" Ye Changlin was shocked, his face pale: "Prince...Why would Her Highness capture Tianjiao?"
"Yes Yes……"
Zhen'er was a little hesitant at this time.
Ji Yunfei on the side glared at her: "Why don't you speak quickly?!"
Zhen Er was so frightened that her face turned pale, and then she said, "Yes...it was the Second Miss who heard that the Princess had killed the young master, so she came to the Princess's house to look for her."
"What did you say?!"
Ji Yunfei's pupils constricted, and he stepped forward and grabbed Zhen'er by the collar.
"You said that Fu'er...was killed by Her Royal Highness?!"
Ji Yunfei hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Now, when he heard that his little nephew was in trouble, his eyes turned red and he was extremely shocked and angry.
Zhen'er had never seen Ji Yunfei so scary before. Her face turned red as she was lifted up. She stared with wide eyes in fear and kicked her legs wildly.
"Second Master..."
It was Ye Changlin next to him who was rational and hurriedly advised against it.
"Second brother, let her go first and let her talk in detail."
Ji Yunfei was filled with shock and anger, but when he thought of Fu'er's matter, he let go of her hand.
Zhen'er fell to the ground, her face pale and terrified, still in shock.
"Why don't you tell me in detail!"
Ji Yunfei roared loudly, and Zhen'er was so scared that she trembled and spoke haltingly.
"In reply to Second Master, this morning, the people of the city found a male corpse in the lake. Someone recognized the deceased as the male slave from the auction the day before. The male slave's name was Chun Ge, and he was bought by the Princess Royal because of his fairy-like appearance."
"The Second Miss was shocked to hear that the male slave looked exactly like her cousin. She also heard that he was killed by the princess and his body was dumped. She ignored the advice of the servants and went to the government office with the accompanying guards. She has not returned for a long time."
