My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1361: Leaving Means Homelessness

"Our lord is currently not at the County Office, since the Emperor has sent word, it would not be appropriate to relay it through someone else. We must trouble the Prime Minister to wait a bit longer, or perhaps come another day," Wen Jing said.

"Do you know where Lord County Magistrate has gone? And when he will return?" An Bingfeng asked.

"The lord’s movements are naturally not something we can inquire about, and as for when he will return, we do not know."

After leaving the County Office, Mu Yi finally spoke, "Lord, this County Magistrate clearly does not wish to see us."

An Bingfeng also looked stern but did not dwell on whether Sikong Wuyou wanted to see him. Instead, he asked, "That is not important. Are you sure, the person you saw last night was Sikong Wuyou?"

"Reporting to the lord, I am not certain. Last night, I only saw a white figure suddenly flying past while I was on night watch, and the direction the figure came from was precisely the young lady’s room. When I went to check, the young lady was no longer inside. And this morning, those who checked relayed the news that the County Office had a new girl around the same age as the young lady, with an injury on her arm. I also heard that Lord County Magistrate is known for his exceptional martial arts and unmatched skill in the capital city, hence my speculation..."

An Bingfeng sighed, "Ah, Mu Yi, this Sikong Wuyou is not merely a County Magistrate, nor just the fourth son of the War King. He is also cherished by the Emperor and the Empress, and even the Crown Prince. He is a figure who surpasses the current Imperial Grandson. That is why I must be careful and cannot afford the slightest mistake. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Mu Yi respectfully replied. "Then regarding the young lady, should we...?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Since he obviously doesn’t wish to meet me, it wouldn’t be appropriate to force it. First, investigate thoroughly whether An Ning is indeed in the County Office, then decide on the next course of action," An Bingfeng instructed.

"Understood." Mu Yi obeyed.

An Bingfeng had come without certainty that Sikong Wuyou took An Ning, only with suspicion.

Now it seemed necessary to investigate thoroughly whether it’s true or not, before proceeding.

After returning to the inn, Mu Yi asked, "Lord, what should be done with Erlaizi and Lu Xiu?"

An Bingfeng replied, "Since they were once very caring towards An Ning, their coming is merely to find someone. There’s no need to make things difficult; just warn them and let them go."

Mu Yi said, "What about that girl, Xinghua...?"

An Bingfeng sneered instantly, "Just a worthless being, she couldn’t even look after a person. Keeping her is of no use. Return her indenture contract and let her leave."

"Understood." Mu Yi, having received orders, immediately went to carry them out.

Xinghua, having been commanded to kneel in the courtyard ever since An Ning was found missing, suddenly had her indenture contract returned by Mu Yi and was told to leave.

In theory, regaining her freedom should be a fortunate event.

Unfortunately, with her parents long deceased and having been sold by her elder brother and sister-in-law, returning home would likely provide no path for survival, only the prospect of being sold again.

Thus, Xinghua naturally did not wish to leave.

However, at this moment, whether she wanted to stay or leave was not for her to decide.

Amid futile struggles, her final outcome was to be forcibly dragged away.

No, if she left, she couldn’t return to her original home, and An Ning’s whereabouts were unknown. Who would take her in again? She would be homeless.

At the moment when Xinghua was immersed in despair, she suddenly saw An Dafu and Lu Xiu also being led outside.
