It was late at night, and Liu Biping was still standing on the bridge without moving. The tide was surging towards the shore wave after wave. Standing on the bridge, one could feel the huge noise of the waves.
After his subordinates reported everything, they advised him with some sadness: "Minister, you should also take care of yourself. It's getting colder today, but you are still running around in such thin clothes. If you tire yourself out, wouldn't it be more of a loss than a gain?"
Liu Biping's body was getting thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so they mustered up the courage to advise him.
Liu Biping hummed, agreeing indifferently, and after a moment he asked again: "Have you sent the message to Madam?"
"I've sent the message to Madam." The chief of the personal guards came over and hurriedly replied after hearing what Liu Biping said, "It's just that Madam, something seems to be wrong..."
Liu Biping didn't care about what happened to Lu, but he valued his son very much. Everyone knew this and dared not neglect him. Any abnormality would be reported.
Liu Biping frowned and asked immediately, "What's going on?"
"Madam... she doesn't really listen to what we say. She didn't even look at your letter when she received it. She just said she knew..." The head of the personal guards looked confused: "Madam would never be like this in the past..."
Liu Biping was a little annoyed. This kind of thing where one's own people got into trouble was the most troublesome.
He instructed the chief of the personal guards: "Send another group of people back to keep a close eye on the Madam and make sure nothing happens to the Young Master."
After all, my son is the most important thing.
Mrs. Lu didn't know why she was so absent-minded, and she should ask him about it so that she wouldn't be unable to take good care of her son when the time comes.
Just as he was thinking this, a figure came crawling on the path over there. The captain of the guards reacted almost instantly and pounced on the man. After a while, he stopped moving and led the man towards Liu Biping.
Liu Biping turned his head and saw that it was a man wearing the uniform of the royal guard, so he raised his eyebrows.
Soon the man came up to him. Before he even looked up at Liu Biping's face, he knelt on the ground with a plop and said to Liu Biping, "Minister! The madam and the young master are missing!"
Liu Biping didn't react for a moment. When he realized what the guard meant, he took a few steps forward and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?!"
Although he left in a hurry, using the excuse of the pirate incident to avoid criticism from the inspector, he still left enough people at the Governor's Office to guard and protect.
How could the Governor's wife disappear from the heavily guarded Governor's Mansion for no reason? !
He couldn't help but think of Shen Chen, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
But besides the murderous intention, there was more endless panic------Shen Chen dared to kill people. Now that they had fallen out, he would no longer care about anything. He could really kill people without hesitation.
Just like he killed those young men of Liu family to make the Liu family sad, disappointed and discouraged, and to break the morale of the Liu family, he would definitely do that.
He was a little unsteady on his feet.
He has been relying on ginseng soup to stay awake for days, and he has to deal with Shen Chen, think about a way out, and be on guard against any movement from Luo Yuan. He has to handle the relationship with Zhejiang, and balance the delicate situation to give himself more breathing space. In fact, he can no longer hold on, and is at the end of his strength.
Now hearing such mind-stimulating news, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and then his legs went weak and he fell down.
Fortunately, the chief of the guards saw the situation quickly and immediately reached out to support him, preventing him from falling to the ground.
Liu Biping managed to calm down after the panic, and let the chief guard cover his cloak for him. He said in a deep voice: "Go back and talk."
There was a cold wind outside, and the room was much warmer in comparison. The chief guard, Lord Qin, made him a cup of ginseng tea. Liu Biping took a sip and felt as if he had regained consciousness and was alive again. He gathered his spirits and asked the man to explain more clearly: "Tell me everything that happened!"
The man was obviously frightened by Liu Biping's appearance. He knelt on the ground tremblingly and took a long time to organize his words before he could barely tell the whole story.
It turned out that Mrs. Liu had a relative who came to visit from Shandong. Ever since meeting that relative, Mrs. Liu's behavior has been a little strange. She usually paid the most attention to the studies of the girls and boys, and she would personally supervise them every day, but she had ignored this matter for several days.
Even when the third young lady fell ill, she did not take care of her personally. She only sent someone to find a doctor after hearing what the wet nurse said.
It was only after the Liu family members came to her house and told her about the incident at home that she returned to her room with a grim look on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.
Not long after, she sent someone to the old house to inform them that she would take her children to live there for a while.
Live in the old house
Liu Biping was a little stunned when he heard this - Mrs. Liu had never returned to live in the old house for so many years. She felt that the old house had too many rules and was always full of bad things, so she never liked it very much.
Although there was no unpleasantness in getting along with the people in the old house, as for living together, this was indeed something I had never experienced before.
And relatives.
What relative would come from Shandong to see her now
The Lu family is in danger now and they haven't sent any letters for a while. How could anyone come to Fujian to visit Mrs. Liu
Why don't you notify him
There must be something strange here, otherwise it would not be like this.
Liu Biping felt his throat become even drier and more uncomfortable. He nodded, motioning the man to continue.
The guard said, "At first we agreed to go to the old house, but when we got there, Madam said she wanted to go to the Mazu Temple to burn incense, saying that there have been a lot of things going on recently and there have been constant disturbances at home, so she asked for peace..."
Liu Biping nodded.
The chief guard also looked at him, slowly frowned, and felt that the matter was not simple.
Soon, the guards said, "We dare not go against Madam's wishes. Since Madam said so, we accompanied Madam to the Mazu Temple. But Madam insisted on taking the little boy to the temple by herself, so we were asked to wait outside the temple. Because it happened suddenly and the temple was not cleaned in advance, there were a lot of people coming and going... We were waiting outside, but Madam didn't come out for a long time. After more than an hour, Madam still didn't move, so we got anxious. But when we went in and asked, everyone said that Madam had left a long time ago..."
After all, the Mazu Temple is a big temple, and the one in Rongcheng is also the ancestral temple of Mazu, so it has always been very popular.
