Thinking of this possibility, she gasped in shock!

Huangfu Lingyao also remembered: Duke An’s wife, she was of Western Wei lineage!

He quickly sat beside his wife, grabbed her hand, and asked, “Wife, could it be related to the Miao family?”

Zhong Lang hit the nail on the head with the core question, “Du Gong, a mere local doctor, without significant influence – how could his behind-the-scenes mastermind make such a bold move to hijack the prisoners’ carriage?”

Liu Shimei murmured, “In other words, Du Gong not only has support from Western Wei, but also… within his organization, he holds a significant position!”

It became even more complicated!

Especially Changge’s face, among them, was the most grim, “Eldest Young Miss, do you think… Western Wei has planted many spies in Great Shu, preparing for war?”

For ordinary people who were far removed from the concept of ‘war’, mentioning it might not evoke much feeling, but Liu Shimei couldn’t sit still. She stood up abruptly and said, “No, this matter needs to be discussed thoroughly with my grandfather and eldest uncle!”

What did war signify?

Everyone in the Liang family was a military officer. Going to war meant they would have to take their families and fight on the battlefield!

Moreover, the ones guarding the Western Border were none other than her Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle!

Once the two countries launched a war, her relatives would be at the forefront of the battle!

Changge was naturally the most anxious one, “I’m very worried, Eldest Young Miss. I want to send a message to Master.”

To Changge, Fifth Liang was not just the person who taught her academics and martial arts; he was also her foster father!

“There’s no time to lose; let’s return to the Liang Residence immediately!” Liu Shimei made a prompt decision.

She turned and held her pet dog’s hand, saying, “Lingyao, come with me, won’t you?”

“Mmm!” Huangfu Lingyao naturally nodded repeatedly.

Even if his wife didn’t allow him to go, he was determined to follow.

If the person behind Du Gong was from the Western Wei Kingdom, what was his purpose in hiding in the Great Shu Imperial Capital? What actions had he taken? And was the Zheng Medical Hall behind him involved in it?

Whether he was a member of the Huangfu family, the master of the Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions, or even Liu Shimei’s fiance, these were all pieces of information he needed to grasp.

He decided to go to the Liang Residence with his wife first, then instructed Li Xin to investigate!

By the time they arrived at the Liang Residence, it was almost noon.

“Old Master?” Madam Wang frowned. “He has been obsessed with fishing lately, I don’t know why. Early this morning, he went fishing outside the city with his fishing buddies!”

Others who had official duties were also not at home. Even Liang Yi, who usually had too much free time, probably went out to play because of Du Gong’s public humiliation today.

Just when Liu Shimei felt helpless, Liang Sheng walked in from outside.

“Shimei, why are you back at this time?” he asked in surprise. “Aren’t you busy during the day?”

Liu Shimei specifically made a trip, and when she came back, she hadn’t expected it to be in vain. Luckily, Liang Sheng returned, so she explained their suspicions to him.

After hearing her out, the expressions of several women were filled with shock.

Changge, in particular, was very anxious. “Seventh Master, regardless of whether the situation is true or not, you should immediately send a secret letter to Western Region, informing our master of this matter. They are in Western Region, and if there are any unusual movements, they should be immediately alerted and take necessary precautions!”

Wang Shi immediately agreed. “Yes, Seventh Master, you should write a confidential letter immediately, reminding Fourth Master and Fifth Master!”

Then she turned to look at Liu Shimei again.. “Shimei, when you move around in the Imperial Capital in the future, you must not be alone, understand?”
