Chapter 306

She thought about it and decided that she could neither wait nor leave. She could only think of a way to send a message to Shi Fengju and hope that he would be able to rescue her from this prison as soon as he received her letter.

Today, on Silk Street, she found a shop marked by the Shi Family. While she was changing her clothes, she passed a letter to the shopkeeper. However, she did not dare say that the letter was for the Young Master. Instead, she said that she had an urgent matter for the Shi Family's Young Mistress and asked the shopkeeper to pass it on as soon as possible.

The capital was the foot of the Son of Heaven. To be able to become a shopkeeper here, he must be an old and steady person who had been carefully selected. Sang Wan believed that he would not act smart and not report her letter after receiving it. As long as the letter was delivered to the Shi Family, as long as she was not so unlucky that it fell into Gu Fangzi's hands, she believed that her husband would definitely think of a way to save her.

If, if he did not come, if he felt that he could not afford to offend the Marquis' household and abandoned her …

Sang Wan did not dare to think about it anymore. She shivered and suddenly felt a boundless fear and panic.

After the letter was sent, Sang Wan felt that the days were becoming more and more torturous. Every day was grinding away at her heart and soul, causing her to be exhausted.

As for White River Town, Shi Fengju quickly obtained information on all the ships that passed through the area in the two days after the incident. He did not let a single ship go. According to the probability of it happening, he sent people to follow each ship and inquire about it.

"Jin housekeeper, you all continue to wait here. If there is any news, report back to me. I plan to personally make a trip to the capital. "Shi Fengju said.

The Jin housekeeper nodded. There were a total of three ships heading in the direction of the capital. It was reasonable for the Young Master to be worried and want to personally go, but —

"Young Master," The Jin housekeeper deliberated for a moment before saying, "Old Slave feels that waiting here is useless. It is better to return to the fu and wait. The Old Slave is not being lazy. He feels that if there is any news at the fu, it will be easier to let the First Madam and the others know and prevent everyone from worrying."

"No," Shi Fengju's lips curled into a cold smile as he stared at him and said, "You will stay here and guard this place. Tell the others to report back to me if they have any news. Even if my mother sends someone to urge you to return, you can't leave even half a step. Do you understand? "

Go back? With Gu Fangzi in the household, he could not trust her. He didn't want his mother to get involved in this matter. It was his carelessness that caused his Wan Niang to suffer. He must find her personally.

Jin housekeeper was stunned. Under Shi Fengju's burning gaze, he didn't dare to argue with him. He bowed and nodded, "Yes, Old Slave will remember! The Old Slave will wait here and not go anywhere. "

"Remember this!" Shi Fengju nodded.

The next day, Shi Fengju took a boat north to the capital.

As soon as he left, Shi Fengming led his men down from their horses and called out, "Big Brother! Big Brother! "He ran towards the rear courtyard of the inn, giving the Jin housekeeper a fright.

"Second Young Master!" Jin housekeeper's expression changed. "Did something happen at home? Eldest Young Master just left to go to the capital! "

"Go to the capital?" Shi Fengming slapped his head and said, "That's right! How did he know that Sister-in-law is in the capital? "

"Second Young Master! What did you say! "Jin housekeeper stared at Shi Fengming with his eyes wide open. He originally wanted to explain the reason, but the words were stuck in his throat.

"Aiya, look at me! Of course Big Brother doesn't know! However, he and Sister-in-law really have a telepathic connection. They just happened to be right! "Shi Fengming sighed with emotion.

"Second Young Master," Jin housekeeper was unable to make heads or tails of it. He smiled bitterly and said, "Second Young Master, don't play riddles with the Old Slave. Just tell me what happened!" You're trying to make the Old Slave anxious to death.

Shi Fengming spread his hands and sighed, "Big Brother isn't here, so it's useless to tell him! I received an urgent letter from the capital. It was sent a few days ago. This letter was actually written to Eldest Sister-in-law! I thought, how could Sister-in-law have any friends in the capital? If it was a letter from the Sang family's Second Young Master, wouldn't it be better for him to go through the government's relay station rather than our shop? Besides, even if he wanted to send a letter to us, he shouldn't have gone to the silk shop. He should have gone to the shipping company. I showed the letter to my wife, and she said that the handwriting was Sister-in-law's. I think that Sister-in-law must be in the capital and might have met with some trouble … "

Shi Fengming's string of words stunned the Jin housekeeper. His eyes gradually lit up and he said happily, "That's great! That's great! Second Young Master, you're right. This letter is most likely from Young Mistress! It seems that Eldest Young Master's guess was right. Young Mistress really was rescued by a passing ship! Good, that's really good! Second Young Master, there's no time to lose. Old Slave will go and chase after Eldest Young Master! "

Shi Fengming nodded, "Quickly make arrangements. I'll go with you!" Before he came, his wife had repeatedly urged him to personally hand this letter to his big brother. Shi Fengming knew that this matter was of great importance and was unwilling to hand it over to anyone else.

Jin housekeeper hurriedly agreed and immediately ordered the servants to make arrangements.

After a moment of excitement, he suddenly asked Shi Fengming, "Did Eldest Madam ask Second Young Master to come?"

"No," Shi Fengming shook his head and secretly cursed himself. When he received the letter, he was filled with curiosity and surprise. He never thought that Eldest Aunt would take the letter and discuss it with Zhou Jingyi. After Zhou Jingyi was certain that the handwriting was Sang Wan's, she hurriedly urged him to quickly come and report to his big brother. The next day, when the sun rose, he immediately went out. When he heard the Jin housekeeper mention it, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to tell Eldest Aunt!

This was also a coincidence. If Shi Fengju knew about it, he would definitely say that he was lucky. If Shi Fengming told Wang, it was unknown whether Sang Wan was dead or alive. Wang would definitely keep her letter and read it. She was illiterate and Gu Fangzi was by her side every day. Naturally, the contents of this letter would be seen by Gu Fangzi first. Even without thinking, Shi Fengju knew that Gu Fangzi would definitely not tell the truth about the contents of the letter.

"I was afraid that Eldest Brother would be anxious, so I took the letter and rushed over here. I didn't have time to tell Eldest Aunt!" Shi Fengming was somewhat vexed and said, "There's no rush. We'll tell her when we get back! It's more important for us to quickly catch up with Eldest Brother! "

"You're right!" Jin housekeeper nodded.

Even though the airship was flying, it still took half a day to catch up with Shi Fengju because Shi Fengju's airship was not much slower than theirs.

When he saw Shi Fengming, Shi Fengju was also shocked. He instinctively thought that his mother had asked him to invite him back. He had made up his mind not to go back, so he waited calmly for him to speak.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Shi Fengming's words, Shi Fengju was completely stunned. He snatched the letter and opened it while complaining, "You're also someone who doesn't know what's important and what's urgent. Since you had a letter, why didn't you take it out earlier? Why did you have to talk so much nonsense!"

"…" Shi Fengming felt wronged. Didn't he just want to show off a little? Not only did he not get a word of praise, he even got scolded.

Shi Fengju's hands trembled as he opened the letter. When he held the thin letter in his hand, he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He held his breath and trembled as he opened the letter. In that instant, his heart stopped beating and his mind went blank.

"That's right! That's right! It's Wan Niang. It's Wan Niang's handwriting. It's Wan Niang's letter! " Shi Fengju's face gradually broke into a smile. His deep eyes were gradually filled with light, like the morning sun that broke through the darkness. It was so bright that it was dazzling.

"It's Wan Niang! It's Wan Niang! Wan Niang didn't die. She's in the capital! " Shi Fengju only felt that his chest was filled with excitement. It was so full that it was about to burst open. He hurriedly walked around the cabin, as if this was the only way to vent the excitement in his heart!

"Really?" Shi Fengming and the Jin housekeeper looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. "That's great, Big Brother! When Big Brother goes to the capital, you can bring Sister-in-law back for a reunion! Congratulations, Big Brother! Sister-in-law is blessed by the heavens. Misfortune really turns into good fortune! "

"That's right, that's right. Congratulations, Eldest Young Master!" the Jin housekeeper also said with a smile. He heaved a huge sigh of relief in his heart. These days, everyone had been living in a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere. That tense atmosphere seemed to blow up at any moment. No one dared to speak loudly, much less laugh. Even their breathing was done cautiously. This time, it was finally good!

Shi Fengju smiled bitterly and shook his head with a sigh. "Wan Niang is in trouble! I'm afraid it won't be that easy! "

"That's nothing!" Shi Fengming said disapprovingly. "With Big Brother's ability and our Shi family's strength, there's no need to worry about this! When Big Brother goes to the capital, it'll be a piece of cake! "

The Jin housekeeper was more cautious than Shi Fengming. He hurriedly asked, "Eldest Young Master, is there another secret?"

If it could make Shi Fengju frown, it definitely wasn't a small matter. Moreover, if everything went smoothly, Sang Wan wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to write a letter. She would have returned long ago!

Shi Fengju handed the letter to Shi Fengming and said lightly, "Take a look! Just remember, this matter must be kept a secret. You're not allowed to tell anyone, including my mother! "

Shi Fengming and the Jin housekeeper's hearts trembled. They looked at each other and read the letter together. Unconsciously, their expressions changed greatly. Although Sang Wan's words were tactful, it wasn't difficult to understand what she meant.

"I'll go to the capital first. No matter what, I have to rescue Wan Niang safely!" After confirming that his wife was safe, Shi Fengju's heart calmed down and he regained his composure in the blink of an eye. He said slowly, "Fengming, go back as usual. Jin housekeeper, stay here and wait for Wan Niang and I to return to the residence before you go back! Liu Ya, that lass, is a loyal person. You can pass on this news to her. As for the others, there's no need! "

Shi Fengming raised his eyes and said, "Jingyi also misses Sister-in-law very much. Big Brother, can I tell her?"

This brat! Shi Fengju looked at him helplessly and nodded. "Sure, Sister-in-law isn't the kind of person who likes to spread rumors."

"Alright, then I understand!" Shi Fengming smiled and nodded.

After the discussion was settled, Shi Fengju parted ways with Shi Fengming and the Jin housekeeper and continued on to the capital.

Standing at the bow of the boat, the wind brought by the boat whistled in her face. Her fine black hair danced in the wind and her clothes fluttered. It was already late autumn, the end of October was approaching November. The wind blowing from the river not only carried a thick layer of water vapor, it also carried a layer of chill. It blew past her face and poured into her collar. It was extremely cold.
