In the following days, Gu Yan was busy searching for Fan Wu and Liu Kui outside, while Su Yunjin, who had been afflicted by pregnancy discomfort, stayed at home to nurture her unborn child.
Su Ningxiu, her elder sister, came to take care of Su Yunjin. Wang Meng also accompanied Gu Yan in the search for the whereabouts of Liu Kui and Fan Wu. Ever since the day Su Yunjin had met them once, they seemed to have completely vanished into thin air. Not only had Gu Yan and Wang Meng found no clues about Liu Kui and Fan Wu after several days, but the Governor's Office was in the same predicament. The people dispatched by the Magistrate returned empty-handed every time.
Su Yunjin and Su Ningxiu prepared dinner and waited for Wang Meng and Gu Yan to return. Seeing Wang Meng, Su Ningxiu hurried over and asked, "Husband, how did it go? Have you and my brother-in-law found anything?"
Wang Meng shook his head.
