Although Yu Mingyue said this, there was no joy on her face.
It was true that Li Fu had been found, but he might never be able to return home.
If she hadn't summoned him to work for her, he wouldn't have ended up like this. At least he could have lived a peaceful life like in the storybooks.
She had wronged him.
Thinking of this, Yu Mingyue's eyes reddened, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
"Miss," Chihua felt that her mistress was not quite right.
"I'm fine. Hurry up and go. Have the guards escort you back. You don't have to come back tonight. Come back before lunch tomorrow," Yu Mingyue said, holding back her sobs.
"This servant will still come back. Miss always needs someone to attend to her." Chihua always felt that her mistress was in a bad mood.
"Don't worry, it's just for one night. Miss is still here with me. Go back as I told you to," Chidan said with a smile, trying to persuade her.
Although Chihua's home was not far from the Duke's mansion, as the head maid in Yu Mingyue's courtyard, she rarely went home for fear of neglecting her duties.
Chihua quickly thanked her, "This servant thanks Miss."
Yu Mingyue nodded, and Chihua finally left.
As soon as Chihua left, Yu Mingyue couldn't control her tears and threw herself into Chidan's arms, "Chidan, I've done something wrong, I've really done something wrong."
Chidan was also frightened. Her mistress had always been cheerful and loved to laugh. Even in yesterday's situation, she hadn't shed a single tear, but now she was crying so hard.
"Miss, don't cry. What happened? This servant will inform Uncle Zhong to handle it," Chidan tried to comfort her.
Yu Mingyue shook her head. It was useless. No one could help him this time. That place, even if they begged the Emperor, the Emperor wouldn't acknowledge it.
"Miss, don't cry. Then let's go find Lord Xie. Lord Xie can definitely help Miss."
Yu Mingyue cried for a long time before looking up, wiping away her tears. No, she couldn't give up.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she couldn't give up.
Since all methods were impossible, she would do it openly.
"Chidan, check how much is in my private treasury. Pick out the most valuable jewelry and sort it out immediately. I need to go out."
"Where is Miss going?" Chidan asked.
"Li Jing Men."
"What kind of place is that? Can't you wait until tomorrow to go at this late hour?" Chidan was a little anxious.
After experiencing such a life-and-death situation yesterday, where was her mistress going now? If she encountered any danger, they, as maids, would have no reason to live.
"Do as I say," Yu Mingyue's voice turned cold.
Chidan was intimidated by Yu Mingyue's gaze and could only agree.
Yu Mingyue's private treasury had a lot of items. Chidan usually held the key and managed them in an orderly manner. Soon, three large boxes were filled to the brim.
"Miss, it's all sorted."
Yu Mingyue nodded, "Have someone move it to the carriage at the back door. Don't alarm my mother."
Yu Mingyue said as she walked out. Chidan was on the verge of tears.
Her mistress was taking so much jewelry but not bringing anyone with her. How could this be?
"Miss, please let this servant accompany you. I beg you."
"Don't worry, I won't be in trouble." She was going to save someone, not to court death.
Xie Residence
Xie Jiayan had already changed into his night-traveling clothes. Li Changfeng was from Ghost Valley, and his Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation was indeed powerful, but it wasn't impossible to break.
He could break Yuan Tianfeng's chess game and he could also break Li Jing Men's Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation.
If Li Fu really died in Li Jing Men, she would probably be sad for a lifetime.
The reason he told her that Li Fu was in Li Jing Men was because he didn't want her to send more people to look for him.
There was unrest outside the city, and the patrols in the city were extremely strict. There were Qianniu Guards everywhere. If she searched for people all over the city like this, it would arouse the Emperor's suspicion.
