98. Chapter 98 Guessing {Happy New Year to everyone! }

Silence!

Facing Shen Yunyao's question, the servants on the scene remained silent; no one spoke.

"Doesn't anyone recognize them?"

Shen Yunyao's gaze swept over everyone's faces, "I won't hold you responsible; I just want to know who she is and when she entered Qinyuan Ju."

"Or are you insisting on waiting for the officials to arrive?"

Shen Yunyao doesn't want to be a villain, but sometimes a good person is hard to be.

"Very well, then let's wait for the officials to come!"

Shen Yunyao turned and went back inside.

Half an hour later, the prefect of the capital province arrived here with forensic workers, constables, and a large contingent, and immediately seized everyone at Qinyuan Ju.

Investigating cases, they are professionals.

Shen Yunyao did not intervene.

Although she has watched many episodes of Conan and various detective dramas, she just enjoys the spectacle and really didn't think much about the plot details.

Xie Zian arrived only a little later than the officials.

The palace's internal affairs officials weren't far behind; they arrived almost at the same time as Xie Zian.

Although Shen Yunyao and Xie Zian are betrothed, after Xie Zian arrived, Shen Yunyao did not come forward to meet him.

All communication was conducted through Shen Mama to Xie Zian.

"Tell my little daughter-in-law that the little girl Cuiyu will be found for her very soon!"

After hearing Shen Mama's relay of Shen Yunyao's request, Xie Zian immediately gave his response.

Shen Yunyao had only one request: to retrieve Cuiyu and ensure her safety.

"Uncle the Imperial Maternal Uncle, I take my leave!"

Shen Mama, after hearing Xie Zian's words, immediately took her leave and reported to Shen Yunyao.

After hearing Shen Mama, Shen Yunyao felt a little more at ease. Yet as long as Cuiyu hasn't returned, her heart remains uneasy.

It must be said, Xie Zian is truly impressive.

After he promised to find Cuiyu, in less than two hours, Cuiyu was brought back to Shen Yunyao's side.

"Miss, sob sob sob… I thought I would never see you again!"

The moment she saw Shen Yunyao, Cuiyu cried wildly.

She truly never imagined, even in a dream, that after getting up at night once, she would be captured, locked in a pitch‑black room where the sky didn't answer and the earth was unresponsive.

"Alright, alright, aren't you already back now?"

Shen Yunyao gently comforted the little girl who had suffered great grievance and fright.

When Cuiyu finally calmed down, she recounted the whole incident.

She had no idea who had seized her; the captor covered her mouth and nose with a cloth, she smelled a foul odor, and then knew nothing else.

"Miss, sob sob, I am truly scared!"

"Jingcheng is too terrifying!"

Although Cuiyu was soothed by Shen Yunyao, she still felt some fear.

Who could have thought?

Qinyuan Ju houses hundreds of people; it has guards and high walls, yet such an incident could still occur.

What frightens her most is that at this time, Qinyuan Ju is guarded on the outside by palace guards.

"Indeed, Jingcheng is too terrifying!"

Shen Yunyao sighed.

She is certain that she has become entangled in a scheming game involving some powerful figures.

During the time waiting for Cuiyu's return, Shen Yunyao has formed a rough conjecture about the truth.

The reason they captured Cuiyu was likely for the Empress's unborn child.

This is a form of intimidation!

If Xie Zian were affected by this incident and something happened to the child in his womb, the captors' purpose would be fulfilled.
