Xia Nanqiao detained the two separately and asked Master Liu to ask Chen Ruyi why he came to the capital.

Chen Ruyi did not answer positively, just said she wanted to see her mother, and asked Master Liu what this place was.

Master Liu: "Sister Yi, please answer me first. What are you doing? How did you find the Duke Ding Mansion?"

"You are a servant, why do you do so much?" Chen Ruyi said, "You come to my mother, I will only tell her."

"Then you just wait!" Master Liu turned around and left.

Chen Ruyi grabbed him: "What do you mean? Are you not Master Liu beside Uncle Zhao? Do you dare to treat me like this?"

Master Liu: "My master is afraid that you are here to cause trouble, so he has to ask clearly."

Chen Ruyi: "But I promised that person and would not say it."

Master Liu: "If the person who brought you here is kind, the master and wife will certainly thank him well! If he is not kind, you should say it even more. Otherwise, aren't you harming your own mother?"

Chen Ruyi frowned and refused to speak.

"It's okay if you really don't want to say it." Master Liu said again, "To be honest, your mother doesn't know you are here at all! Only our master knows! You have no blood relationship with our master, but he won't feel sorry for you! If you don't tell the truth, then you will be locked in this room for the rest of your life until you are locked up!"

Master Liu went out with a calm face.

Chen Ruyi felt that Master Liu was very dangerous and looked scared.

When she was locked up on the third day, she finally couldn't help but say: "After my father and my mother divorced, she went to gamble even more unscrupulously. Her mother's dowry was taken back by her. The family's property was already very little left, and she was soon bet on! Even my jewelry was used by him to pay off the debt..."

Master Liu: "So what?"

Chen Ruyi: "My grandmother scolded him every day, and the two quarreled every day. Later, he didn't go home anymore. It is said that he stayed with a woman. My grandmother and I were struggling to survive. I originally had a husband's family, so I broke off the engagement with me.

That day I accidentally heard a relative of Uncle Zhang’s family chatting with him, saying that Uncle Zhao had become a high-ranking official in the capital, and even the adopted daughter he followed had a good life, and would marry into the Duke’s Mansion to be a wife!

I asked him about my mother, and he said he could take me to find her. If I come, I would marry into a wealthy family as a wife. My grandmother didn't want to stay for a hard life anymore, so she came with me."

Master Liu nodded: "What is that relative's name? What does it look like? How old is it?"

Chen Ruyi: "He is about thirty years old! He asked us to call him Mr. Hou. He kept with us and took us to Zhao Mansion. The disciples said that they went to Dingguo Duke's Mansion for a full moon wine, and he took us to Dingguo Duke's Mansion again."

Master Liu: "Can you still find him?"

"This..." Chen Ruyi shook her head, "I thought of seeing my mother immediately. I was so excited that I forgot to ask where he lives."

Master Liu: "I remember my wife said that you are very good at painting. Can you draw that person's appearance?"

Chen Ruyi nodded: "Yes!"

"Okay!" Master Liu said, "Then you draw! I'll ask your grandmother again. If there is anything different about what you said, you may still not see your mother."

Chen Ruyi: "Sir Chen! Everything I said is true!"

Master Liu is out.

Then he passed Chen Ruyi's words to Xia Nanqiao, Li Dongqing, Xia Anan and Zhao Hanzhang.
