Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation

Although the Grand Chancellors Residence was not her concern anymore, Liu s.h.i.+mei still needed to go back and meet with Liu Fuyun, to explain the situation properly.

Originally, she had planned to return in the evening. After completing her scheduled medical appointments in the morning, Nanny Li sent a message saying that Liu Fuyun was at home.

She thought it best not to delay and went to see Liu Fuyun at noon, saving her time to visit the injured puppy in the palace later in the evening.

It was the first time Liu s.h.i.+mei actively went to the study to find Liu Fuyun.

Do you need something? Liu Fuyun was somewhat surprised. After all, this daughter of his had distanced herself from him, growing farther and farther away. If there was no specific reason, she would never come to him.

Liu s.h.i.+mei found herself a chair and sat down, getting straight to the point, Father, do you remember Wen Gui and Wu Qiang, who used to serve my brother?

These two were carefully selected by me to serve your elder brother, so naturally, I remember them, Liu Fuyun said. Then a thought occurred to him, What did you find out about them?

Liu s.h.i.+mei glanced at him and said, I didnt find out anything. I was just curious. Why have these two people disappeared? I wanted to ask them about matters related to my brother, but I cant find them anywhere.

Upon hearing this, Liu Fuyun furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and said, Didnt they send you those files? It stated their whereabouts, didnt it?

In that case, Father, may I ask if youve seen where these people went in those files? Liu s.h.i.+mei asked, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips.

Liu Fuyun was momentarily stunned and said, Theres no need to look; I still remember. One of them received punishment and used money to redeem his freedom, leaving the imperial capital. As for Wen Gui, he chose to guard the tomb on his own.

In that case, Father, are you aware that this person guarding the tomb, Wen Gui, has been replaced? Liu s.h.i.+mei asked again.

Are you telling me you handed me back the information without even glancing at it? Thats utterly ridiculous!

Liu Fuyun truly had no idea!

When the case files were brought back, he focused on the information from the time of the incident, glanced briefly at the whereabouts of these people, without delving into the details.

After Liu s.h.i.+mei mentioned it, he understood the crux of the matter: Wen Gui isnt at the cemetery?

Yes, Liu s.h.i.+mei said coldly. On the anniversary of my brothers death, I went to sweep the grave, and Wen Gui wasnt there.

Liu Fuyun furrowed his brow. This Wen Gui, he cried and begged to guard Xingyuns grave, but now hes not at the cemetery? Where did he go?

Its said he went back to his hometown to get married. Liu s.h.i.+mei looked at him, her eyes plain and solemn. A teenage boy, even if hes a servant, would he willingly spend the rest of his life guarding a grave at such a young age? Why did Father believe that?

Her tone carried sarcasm. Liu Fuyuns patience was remarkable.

Why not? A servant is a servant! Guarding the masters grave is his honor! he retorted coldly.

Liu s.h.i.+mei remained silent.

Fine, they had differing perspectives, so it was best not to discuss such topics.

She changed the subject, So, now that hes not at the cemetery, what does Father think?

Liu Fuyun looked displeased. His contract is still in the Grand Chancellors Residence. I will send someone to his hometown to find him and bring him back!

Under the feudal slave system, Liu s.h.i.+mei found it hard to adapt. But if her conspiracy theory was correct, Wen Gui probably wasnt in his hometown at all!

So, Liu Fuyuns investigation would be futile!

With that said, Liu s.h.i.+mei stood up. In that case, Ill wait for Fathers news.

Having said that, she started to leave.

Just as she reached the door, she heard a commotion from the west courtyard. She paused and turned back to Liu Fuyun, asking, Whats this. there are guests in Madame Zhangs courtyard?
