Chapter 560 Shen Fangruo's Fear
Shen Fangruo nodded, but then left, she pretended to be calm on the surface, but Cui Yuexi still saw panic in her eyes.

For someone as calm as Shen Fangruo to show panic, something must have happened.

When the banquet started, Cui Yuexi looked in Shen Fangruo's direction, but she sat there calmly as if she had adjusted her mood.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Cui Yuexi didn't move her chopsticks at all, Li Jing couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, I just feel that there is something wrong with Shen Fangruo. She seemed hesitant to speak just now, so she found a reason to invite her to Liu's house after the banquet."

As Cui Yuexi was speaking, she saw Liu Ruwen walking in with the support of Lou Yiyang. Liu Ruwen saw Cui Yuexi at a glance, and then walked towards them.

After sitting down, Cui Yuexi couldn't help being puzzled.

"Didn't you say that Cousin Rufei also came with you?"

Cui Yuexi didn't see Liu Rufei, so she couldn't help asking.

Liu Ruwen smiled mysteriously, "She, she suddenly feels unwell, so she won't come here."

"Why do you suddenly feel uncomfortable? Is she greedy for cold food and eating too much cold food?"

Liu Rufei is most afraid of heat. In the early summer, people don't think so, but she has already started eating iced fruits and drinking some cold tea.

Seeing that Cui Yuexi was worried, Liu Ruwen went to whisper in her ear.

After hearing this, Cui Yuexi couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, "Really, that's great."

The two sisters were chatting, completely ignoring Li Jing and Lou Yiyang, who were beside them, discussing other matters.

Cui Yuexi suddenly thought of something serious, and then took Liu Ruwen's hand and said.

"Cousin Ruwen, I need your help with something."

Cui Yuexi said straight to the point, Liu Ruwen frowned suspiciously.

"If you have something to say directly, why are you being polite, our sisters?"

Cui Yuexi told her about Shen Fangruo's unnatural appearance, and then said.

"Shen Fangruo must have encountered something. I looked at her cautiously. Obviously, she didn't want to be noticed. She was so far away from us. I thought it would be convenient for you to invite her to the Duke's mansion after the banquet is over. say."

After all, Liu Ruwen and Shen Fangruo are cousins, so it would be best to invite her to the Duke's mansion.

"Leave this on me." Liu Ruwen readily agreed, and immediately gave Cui Yuexi some of her favorite dishes.

The two sisters chatted while eating, neither Li Jing nor Lou Yiyang could understand.

"What do they have to talk about? It seems that there are endless topics to talk about every time they meet?"

Just like now, after Li Jing and Lou Yiyang finished talking about business, it seemed that there was nothing to talk about.

On the other hand, Cui Yuexi and Liu Ruwen haven't stopped talking since they sat down.

"do not know."

Li Jing's eyes were full of doting smiles, and she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Cui Yuexi's beaming expression.

After Mr. Yang said some scene words, he toasted around the tables, and when he got to Li Jing's side, his eyes were red.

"My lord, I don't know how to thank you. Everything is in the wine. If I do it, you can do whatever you want."

Master Yang raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and Li Jing also drank it proudly.

"My lord, the hospitality is not good. If you eat and drink well, I will go to entertain others as an official."

Li Jing nodded, and Master Yang left. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes by wiping his sweat.

If it wasn't for Li Jing back then, where would their family still be today?

The banquet was spent eating and drinking, Cui Yuexi could always feel Shen Fangruo's eyes looking at her anxiously and earnestly.

"Let's go back." Seeing that Cui Yuexi had eaten well, Li Jing got up and asked.

Cui Yuexi nodded, then glanced at Liu Ruwen and left first.

The husband and wife got into the carriage going home, and when they were passing by Duke Liu's mansion, Cui Yuexi asked Lao Yan to stop, and then entered the mansion of Duke Liu with Li Jing.

"Aren't you tired?" Li Jing asked, why did she suddenly change her plan.

"Today, if I see that something is wrong with Shen Fang, I will make an agreement with Cousin Ruwen. After a while, Cousin Ruwen will bring her to the Duke's mansion so that I can find out."

Suddenly a thought flashed in Li Jing's mind, maybe Shen Fangruo discovered something, and the meticulous work involved the Shen family, so Li Jing handed it over to Liu Yanbo to investigate. After all, if something happened to the Shen family, Liu Guogong's mansion would also be implicated.

But now, there is no clue. If Li Jing didn't believe in Liu Yanbo's character, for example, he would have doubted him.

Even if the King of Haoyue Kingdom had blown up the secret passage back then, with such a strong direction at that time, even if he dug down the collapsed house of Zhang Yuanwai's house, he would still be able to find clues.

But everything was done, and nothing was found.

"Well, let's go in." Li Jing helped Cui Yuexi into Liu Guogong's mansion.

Mrs. Liu was about to take a nap, when she heard that the couple had come back, she asked Mother Bai to help her sit up, and after a brief tidying up, someone invited Cui Yuexi over.

Cui Yuexi knew Mrs. Liu's habits well, and sighed helplessly.

"Grandma, we come back often. Could it be that you don't rest because of us? If this affects your health, we will be guilty."

Mrs. Liu smiled from ear to ear, "Who dares to blame you, I just miss you so much, I wish you would be around me all day." Mrs. Liu always couldn't get enough of Cui Yuexi, her pair of clear eyes could not wait to see her. Her image is engraved in my heart.

She knew very well that she was getting old, and she might leave at any time. She could face life and death calmly, but she couldn't bear to part with Cui Yuexi and her grandchildren.

At this moment, the butler happily ran in.

"Old madam, the young lady and uncle are back, and Miss Fangruo from the Shen family is also here."

When Cui Yuexi heard that Shen Fangruo was coming, she couldn't help but look at Li Jing. After the husband and wife looked at each other, they waited for a few people to arrive.

After Shen Fangruo entered the house and respectfully saluted Mrs. Liu and the others, she no longer suppressed the fear and tension in her heart.

Her hands kept trembling, as if she had experienced something terrible, Liu Ruwen hugged her gently, comforting her softly.

"Cousin Fangruo, if you have anything to say, just say it. With the prince here, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Shen Fangruo choked, her voice trembling, and she nervously looked at Mrs. Liu and the others.

"Old lady, if Fang has an unfeeling request, can you let me stay in your residence for a few days?"

She really didn't want to go back to Shen's house anymore, it was too scary, she was worried that if she went back and was caught by that person, she would die at that time.

"You child, you have come to the mansion since you were young, and when have I stayed with you, you can stay as long as you want."
