Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qing Zhu looked at Madam Lin and said, “Madam, we’ve searched everywhere else, except for the outer courtyard and the old lady’s quarters. There’s one more thing. Miss instructed us not to tell you and the old lady, so I didn’t dare to say it.”
...Madam Lin was stunned. She looked up at Qing Zhu. “Tell me.”
Qing Zhu looked at the stunned Madam Lin and was a little afraid. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Yesterday, Miss sent the guard, Wang Zhong, to kidnap the magistrate’s wife.”
When Madam Lin heard this, she stood up in shock. She leaned down and asked softly with trembling lips, “What did you say? When did this happen?”
“It happened early yesterday morning. Ever since Miss was beaten up by the magistrate’s wife, she has been filled with hatred. She ordered me to get to know the servants of the magistrate and wanted to bribe them for information, but I didn’t succeed.” After saying that, Qing Zhu looked at Madam Lin anxiously. “Madam, what should we do? Do you think that the magistrate’s wife knew that Miss had sent someone to harm her and instructed her people to kidnap Miss?”
“Impossible! It’s impossible for her to know so quickly.” Madam Lin was so anxious that she paced around the room. When she turned around and saw Qing Zhu still kneeling there, she said anxiously, “Hurry up and go to the outer courtyard to see if Wang Zhong has returned.”
“Yes, Madam.” Qing Zhu got up from the ground and headed for the outer courtyard.
After Qing Zhu left, Madam Lin thought about it and decided to go to Old Madam Wang’s place to take a look. When Ying Ge saw this, she hurriedly held the umbrella and shielded Madam Lin as she walked quickly toward Old Madam Wang’s courtyard. When she arrived at Old Madam Wang’s courtyard, Madam Lin glanced around and did not see Ah Yue. She could not help but feel a little dazed.
Seeing that she was distracted, Old Madam Wang thought to herself that Madam Lin should not be there to greet her if she was reluctant to do so. She scolded unhappily, “Madam Lin, what happened? You look distracted.”
Madam Lin hesitated for a moment and said, “Madam, it’s nothing. I just felt a little uncomrorcame wnen 1 WOKe up rms mornmg.’
“Why are you here to greet me if you’re not feeling well? Those who don’t know might think that I’m mean to you!” Old Madam Wang lowered her eyes. “Don’t stand there. Go back and rest!”
“Thank you for your understanding, Old Madam.” Madam Lin left and went to Ah Yue’s courtyard to wait for Qing Zhu to return.
A moment later, Qing Zhu returned to the courtyard with a disappointed expression and said to Madam Lin, “Madam, the people from the outer courtyard said that Wang Zhong hasn’t returned since he went out yesterday.”
Madam Lin was at a loss. She turned to Ying Ge and said, “Go call Grandma
Han.”
After half an hour, Granny Han rushed over, panting. Madam Lin told Granny Han about Ah Yue’s disappearance and asked in a daze, “Nanny, what do you think we should do? Do you think Ah Yue was kidnapped by the magistrate’s wife?”
Seeing the flustered look on Madam Lin’s face, Granny Han sighed in her heart and said to Madam Lin, “Madam, did the magistrate’s wife kidnap her? If Miss is missing, you should report it to Old Madam immediately. We definitely can’t hide it. Besides, once Old Madam knows, she will get someone to send a letter to Master and ask him to come back to find Miss.”
When Madam Lin heard Granny Han’s words, she seemed to have found her backbone. She walked towards the old lady’s courtyard anxiously and asked Old Madam Wang to send everyone away. She then told Old Madam Wang about Ah Yue’s disappearance. When Old Madam Wang heard this, she was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
When Madam Lin saw the old lady faint, she shouted in horror, “Someone come quickly! The old lady fainted.”
Old Madam Wang’s personal maid hurriedly came in from outside and rushed up to support Old Madam Wang. After a while, Old Madam Wang slowly woke up and looked at Madam Lin, who had collapsed to the ground, in disappointment. She said, “No wonder you looked so distracted when you came over today. So you wanted to look for her secretly without telling me! Then why didn’t you continue keeping it a secret? What’s the use of saying it now? I’m afraid Ah Yue has already been sent out of the city.”
“My Yue’er,” Madam Lin shouted and fainted.
The old lady did not care about Madam Lin’s condition at all. She said to Ying Ge, who was guarding at the side, “Bring her back to her courtyard.” Ying Ge hurriedly called an old woman over to carry Madam Lin out.
Old Madam Wang brought her people to Ah Yue’s courtyard. She saw that the house was neat and tidy. The jewelry that she had taken off at night was still on the dressing table. She opened the jewelry box and saw that the valuable jewelry and money were not lost.
Old Madam Wang instructed the old woman standing behind her, “Ah Tang, get someone to rush to Qingyun Temple and bring Grand Old Master and Old Master back. Lock the girls and old women in Ah Yue’s Courtyard in the woodshed and get someone to call Qing Hai over. Find a reason to bring a few tight-lipped old women to the streets and inns to look for her.”
Old Madam Tang bowed and said, “Yes, Old Madam.”
When Wang Qinghai arrived, he saw the old lady’s worried expression. He bowed and asked, “Grandaunt, what happened?”
“Did you hear anything from the magistrate’s family?”
Wang Qinghai asked in confusion, “News from the magistrate’s family? Lord Zhou went to check on the grain. After Madam Li bought a piece of wasteland outside the western city, there was no other news. You don’t look good. Did something happen?
Old Madam Wang nodded tiredly. “Ah Yue is missing.”
Wang Qinghai was shocked. “Ah Yue is missing( Where did she Did you send someone to look for her? What does it have to do with Madam Li?”
Old Madam Wang said, “I’ve already sent an old woman to look for her on the streets. Ah Yue, that audacious evil creature, sent the guard, Wang Zhong, to monitor Madam Li. She wants Wang Zhong to find an opportunity to beat Madam Li up to vent his anger.”
“Ah Yue asked Wang Zhong to monitor Lady Li.” Wang Qinghai suddenly understood. “Aunt thinks that Madam Li took revenge on Ah Yue and sent someone to kidnap her?”
Old Madam Wang nodded and said with tears in her eyes, “I’ve already gotten someone to invite your granduncle. Besides, we can’t investigate with great fanfare. If outsiders find out that Ah Yue has been kidnapped, what will happen to the Wang family’s reputation? The Liu family will also come to cancel the engagement. We can only search in secret now. Bring someone to find out Wang Zhong’s whereabouts. We’ll give out the reason that he stole the property in the residence.”
Wang Qinghai looked at Old Madam Wang. Even if she was heartbroken, she still had to care about the Wang family’s reputation. This was a big family. Reputation was always more important than anything else. Wang Qinghai looked at the old Old Madam Wang and comforted her. “Grandmother, don’t worry too much. I’ll bring people to find her now. Also, think about it. Is it possible that Ah Yue threw a tantrum and sneaked out to play for two days to scare us?”
Old Madam Wang shook her head tiredly. “Impossible. I’ve checked the house. She didn’t bring any clothes or money. I’m afraid she was sent out of the city long ago.”
“In that case, I’ll bring people to look for her.” Wang Qinghai left with his men.
Madam Lin lay in Granny Han’s arms with tears streaming down her face. She said sadly, “Nanny, Madam Li must be Jinniang’s child. She came to take revenge on us. Yue’er must have been kidnapped by her..”
