Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 358: Tracking Shi Siming

Mrs. Shi had been thinking about Shi Siming's recent movements all the way. She had discovered that he went out normally every day, but often came back late, sometimes even staying out all night. She had assumed he was busy with work. Although she felt lonely, when she had free time, he would go out to see the sisters, watch a play, play mahjong, and chat. He was quite happy...

Now that I think about it, could it be that Shi Siming was just like what was said in the opera? And just now, when I passed by the courtyard, those two maids had said something very specific. Could it be that Shi Siming really had other women outside? I just didn't know...

So he returned to the mansion, looking unhappy, and angrily returned to his bedroom. Then he said to the maid beside him, "Linglong, go find the person my father arranged for me. I have something important to tell him."

Linglong hurriedly agreed upon hearing this. After all, she didn't want her master to punish her. Moreover, she had heard the two maids' discussion just now. She was afraid that the mistress was looking for that person because of this matter...

Without giving it any more time to think, she went out to look for someone. After about an incense stick of time, Linglong came back with a man behind her. She took the man to the flower hall in the courtyard and then went into the bedroom to report to Mrs. Shi.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shi immediately stood up and went to the flower hall, because she really wanted to verify whether what the two maids said was true or false.

She walked quickly towards the flower hall, and only slowed down her pace when she reached the door and walked into the flower hall.

The man saw Madam Shi and bowed respectfully, saying, "I pay my respects to you, Madam. I wonder why you have summoned me here?"

Mrs. Shi gave Linglong a wink, and Linglong understood. She sent everyone else out, closed the door, and stood guard at the door.

Mrs. Shi then said, "Father gave you to me, and this is the first time I've used you. I really hope I never have to use you again."

He sighed and said, "Go, help me follow the master and see where he goes after he leaves his job. Be careful and don't let him find out."

This person was none other than the secret guard trained by Mrs. Shi's father. He was afraid that his daughter would be wronged, so he gave her some people just in case. This was the first time these secret guards had received a mission after following Mrs. Shi for so many years, so they naturally gave it their all.

The secret guard saluted and said, "Yes, madam, I will go right away."

After saying that, he slipped away.

On the other hand, after Shi Siming was dismissed from his post, he did not return home immediately, but went to the Shi Mansion in the suburbs again because he thought of a good solution that would not require divorce and would allow Dugu Jingyao to help him. So he was anxious to see Dugu Jingyao, so he did not notice that he was following her in the dark.

About half an hour later, Shi Siming arrived at the Shi Mansion in the suburbs.

Mrs. Shi's secret guard saw that there was indeed a Shi Mansion in the suburbs, and he had an idea in mind. However, he felt that it would not be good if Lord Shi was wronged, so he flew onto the roof, followed Shi Siming's footsteps, and stopped in the house that Shi Siming entered.

He quietly lifted a tile and looked down, and found that in addition to Shi Siming, there was another woman, and the two seemed to have an unusual relationship.

When he saw this, he felt sorry for Mrs. Shi and wanted to leave, but not long after, another woman came.

The only difference was that although this woman looked elegant and luxurious in her clothes, her hands and feet were tied and she was even wearing a blindfold, so he decided to take a closer look to see what was going on.

After Dugu Jingyao was revived by Murong Linzhi's acupuncture, Yu Da secretly boiled some medicine for Dugu Jingyao to drink, and she felt much better. However, she had lost some energy and looked a little weak.

Shi Siming looked at Dugu Jingyao's pale face, frowned, and asked, "Princess, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look unwell?"

Besides Shi Siming, Zhang Jinxin was also really panicked when she saw Dugu Jingyao like this, thinking: Could it be that this bitch really fainted yesterday? I hope she doesn't die, otherwise Shi Siming will not know how to torture herself.

Dugu Jingyao snorted coldly. She must not forget to give Zhang the eye drops, so she said, "Hmph, it's nothing. I just fainted last night and wanted Zhang to find a doctor for me, but she refused. Fortunately, my sister took good care of me and I woke up. Otherwise, Lord Shi, you would be seeing my corpse soon!"

Shi Siming glared at Zhang fiercely, and Zhang couldn't help but shudder inwardly: This little bitch actually took the opportunity to complain! However, she still pretended to be pitiful and said, "A Ming, Yu Da did come to see me yesterday, but she was fine during the day and fainted at night. I was afraid it was a trick, that they wanted to send a message to the outside world through a doctor, so I didn't call a doctor for her. Who knew it was true..." As she spoke, she twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

Shi Siming weighed the pros and cons in his mind and decided that he must put on an act for Dugu Jingyao, but Zhang was now pregnant with his child, and he could not completely ignore the child.

Shi Siming slammed the table and said to Zhang, "You foolish woman! If anything happens to the princess, are you able to bear the blame? You should know that plotting to murder the princess is punishable by death!"

Zhang Jinxin wasn't stupid either. If Dugu Jingyao really died, Shi Siming would want to clear him of all responsibility and put all the blame on himself! As he thought about it, he cursed him in his heart: "This damn man, if he hadn't had the potential to succeed in raising an army, and if I wasn't pregnant with his child, I wouldn't be suffering in this godforsaken place!"

Although she thought so in her heart, she still looked miserable and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Ah Ming, it's all my fault. I was negligent. If either of them faints or gets sick again in the future, I will definitely go to visit them as soon as possible. Don't be angry..."

Shi Siming was very pleased with Zhang's attitude. After all, in order to help his wife's family, he always obeyed Mrs. Shi in everything.

When Dugu Jingyao heard Shi Siming and Zhang talking to each other, she almost rolled her eyes to the sky. But luckily she was wearing a blindfold, so she couldn't see them being affectionate, and neither of them could see her rolling her eyes.

However, Dugu Jingyao couldn't stand it anymore, so she coughed twice and said, "Ahem, have you two said enough? If you have nothing else to say, then send me back. I'm not here to watch you put on a show!"

Shi Siming finally came back to his senses from Zhang Jinxin's gentle embrace and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I came here to give you an answer."

Dugu Jingyao hadn't expected Shi Siming to come up with this plan after just one night's thought. This was a bit beyond her expectations, but she still asked, "Is that so? Did you bring the divorce papers?"

Shi Siming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I didn't bring the divorce papers with me, but I have a plan. Let's see if it works."

Dugu Jingyao said with an air of attentive listening, "Okay, go ahead!" But in reality, she was thinking, I knew Shi Siming wouldn't give in so easily...

Shi Siming said, "Princess, instead of marrying me, a man of the same age as the King of Yunnan, how about marrying my eldest son? You are of similar age, and my son is still single. I have my eye on him, and once the matter is concluded, I will make him Crown Prince. In this case, you will remain Queen. What do you think?"

Dugu Jingyao didn't intend to give him any face at all and directly retorted, "Haha, is that all? Lord Shi, you have the nerve to say it's a good idea? In my opinion, you just want to use the power of our mansion, but you are unwilling to give us the benefits we deserve."

Facing Dugu Jingyao's straightforward response, Shi Siming's face darkened, and he said, "How could that be? You will become the Crown Princess, and later the Empress. It's just a matter of time."

Dugu Jingyao sneered, "Then why should I help you? I am now the Princess of Guangping, and Your Highness is the Crown Prince's eldest son, and we are equally trusted. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, it is very likely that Your Highness will become the Crown Prince. If that is the case, what difference does it make to what you are saying now? Moreover, Your Highness and I are deeply in love, so it is only natural for me to help the royal family, and no one can say no."

After a pause, Dugu Jingyao continued, "So, I advise Lord Shi to think it over carefully! If you have thought it through, please bring the divorce agreement with you next time you come! If you don't have the divorce agreement, there's no need for me to come again. There's no need to discuss this. Besides, you don't have much time left. My father and Li Chu must be looking for us sisters already. It's just a matter of time."

Upon hearing this, Shi Siming couldn't help but admire Dugu Jingyao. He thought to himself: Even though this princess has just reached the age of marriage, she is still very young, but she is very clear about what she wants. If I have such a Yue family, why should I be afraid of my current Yue family? If she insists on marrying me, it is not completely impossible for me to agree to her...

Then Shi Siming also said: "Okay! Then the princess will wait for news from me! Come, send the princess back."

Dugu Jingyao said, "Wait a minute, Master Shi, we've already talked about this several times. Maybe I'll even marry you in the future, but I don't even know what you look like. If you're not pretty, wouldn't I be at a loss?"

Shi Siming laughed and said, "Haha, Princess, you are absolutely right. If you want to cooperate, you should be honest. Come on! Take off the blindfold, Princess."

Soon someone took off Dugu Jingyao's eye mask. She squinted to adjust to the light before opening her eyes and looking at Shi Siming. She smiled and said, "Master Shi, given his looks, I'm sure he was a handsome young man when he was young. I'm not too disappointed. I also heard that you're very obedient to Madam Shi. I wonder if I'll be treated that way if things go well in the future?"

Then he added: "Okay, put the eye mask on me. I'm tired and need to go back to rest."

Shi Siming ordered his men to act on their words and added, "Go and ask a doctor to come and examine the princess."

The guards around him went to call the doctor as instructed, and then Dugu Jingyao was sent back to her room by Yu Da.
