"So, may I ask, Mr. Minister, where is Lady Qianjin?" asked Song Wanqi.
"Just a while ago, not even the time it takes to burn a stick of incense before you arrived, her husband took her out," replied the minister.
"Duan Cheng'an? Took her out? What did they go out to do at noon?" Nangong Zi'an asked in a loud and forceful manner.
Mr. Minister glanced at Nangong Zi'an and said to Song Wanqi: "We're going for a lake tour."
"Touring the lake at noon? Doesn't it seem odd, Mr. Minister?" Song Wanqi frowned.
"What's odd about it?" Mr. Minister seemed oblivious.
"So, Mr. Minister, can you tell me where Miss went to the lake?" Song Wanqi pondered for a moment and asked.
"I... I don't know," Mr. Minister awkwardly stroked his beard and said.
Song Wanqi turned to Li Erwu and said, "I feel something is not right. We can't waste time. I want to go to a few lakesides and see if we can find Minister's daughter. Will you come with me?"
Li Erwu nodded, "Okay."
"I want to go too," Nangong Zi'an said anxiously, afraid of being left out.
"Me too," Ji Yuyi said succinctly, unwilling to say more.
When they saw that everyone was willing to accompany them, Song Wanqi said to Mr. Minister, "We won't bother you today. If the young lady comes back, please be sure to let us know."
"Okay," Mr. Minister responded coldly with a nod.
Song Wanqi and the others then bid farewell and left the Minister's residence. Song Wanqi said, "Let's go to the South Lake first."
Before the others could respond, a talisman floated towards them, a message talisman.
"I heard you were looking for me. I'm at Chengxiang Restaurant. However, I only saw Master Song. If I find anyone else following, I can't guarantee I'll still be at Chengxiang Restaurant. Master Song, I'm waiting for you. Hurry up."
As the message ended, the talisman turned to ash. Song Wanqi frowned, sighed, and said, "It seems that because this is my task, it's normal for him to only let me go for Cheng Huiying's clothes."
"Can't go." Li Erwu grabbed Song Wanqi's sleeve, insisting, "You can't go, it's dangerous."
"I know, but I have to go. I'm worried about Miss Minister. Duan Cheng'an clearly doesn't love Miss Minister, but today he's acting out of character by taking her out. There must be something fishy going on. He must have used some means to know about my every move in the initial test. Besides, it's broad daylight, he won't do anything to me," Song Wanqi reassured.
"No, you can't." Li Erwu persisted.
"I also think, Brother Song, maybe you shouldn't go. At this time, Duan Cheng'an calling you alone definitely has ulterior motives," Nangong Zi'an always liked to chime in with a different opinion.
Song Wanqi lifted his foot as if to kick, but Nangong Zi'an skillfully dodged the attack.
"Hey, hey, hey, brother Song, let's just talk, why do you have to resort to violence!" Nangong Zi'an complained, his face turning red with anger.
"Alright, alright," Song Wanqi placated Nangong Zi'an and then said, "You can put a tracking charm on me, two sticks of incense. If I can't come out, then you can come find me."
"Okay," Li Erwu saw that Song Wanqi had made up her mind, so he said, "We'll accompany you to Chengxiang Restaurant. You go in by yourself. If you can't come out after burning two incense sticks, we'll barge in."
"Okay, let's go," Song Wanqi nodded.
The four of them walked towards Chengxiang Restaurant together. It was very close to the original General Song's Residence, and Song Wanqi used to go there often, so they encountered no obstacles along the way.
