Granny Han gently patted Madam Lin and comforted her. “Don’t worry and rest for a while. Old Madam has already sent someone out to look for her. There will be news soon.”

Madam Lin suddenly got up from Granny Han’s arms and looked at her with fear. “Nanny, will she send people to harm Kun’er?”

Granny Han said to her in an affirmative tone, “No, she won’t. Besides, she doesn’t know that Eldest Young Master has gone to the capital. When Eldest

Young Master comes back from high school, you’ll have someone to rely on.”

No matter how Grandma Han comforted her, Madam Lin was still uneasy. From the bottom of their hearts, they felt that Ah Yue’s disappearance was their retribution.

Seeing that Madam Lin was in a daze, Granny Han worriedly asked someone to boil some calming medicine for her and feed it to her. She stared at Madam Lin, who had drunk the calming medicine and was curled up in bed sleeping for a while. She walked to the window and looked at the drizzle. She thought to herself, “Is there really retribution in this world? Why didn’t retribution come to me?”

Wang Qinghai brought people to investigate at the city gates and found out that Wang Zhong had never returned after riding out of the city. In the end, he found out that Wang Zhong had rented a small courtyard. After entering, he saw that there was nothing else in the house except a few changes of clothes.

Seeing that it was already late, he brought his people back to the Wang family and reported the news to Old Madam Wang. An old man with a sage-like appearance and a middle-aged uncle hurriedly walked in.

When Wang Qinghai saw this, he went forward and bowed. “Granduncle, Uncle, you’re back!” Old Master Wang said politely, “Ah Hai, you have taken care of the family when we were not around.”

Wang Qinghai bowed and said, “Uncle, what are you saying? We’re family!”

The few of them sat down separately. Old Master Wang said to the old lady,

“What happened? You called us home in a hurry.”

Old Madam Wang told Old Master Wang the entire story. Old Master Wang was so angry that his face turned ashen. He said angrily, “Is this how you raise a child? You dote on her until she’s arrogant and lawless. Do you think you can dote on her forever?”

Old Master Wang looked at Wang Qinghai anxiously and said, “Ah Hai, have you checked? Did the magistrate’s wife send someone to kidnap Ah Yue?”

Wang Qinghai told the two of them the information he had found. “Uncle, there’s no evidence to prove that Madam Li did it. Besides, I found out that Wang Zhong just left home yesterday. We can only leave the city tomorrow to investigate.”

Grand Old Master Wang let out a long sigh. “It’s been a day. I don’t know where they’ve been sent to. Besides, it’s been raining until now, and there’s no evidence left. We’ll look for them tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of them. We’ll spread the word that Ah Yue has contracted a bad disease and moved to the manor to recuperate.”

After hearing Old Master Wang’s words, Wang Qinghai knew that Ah Yue was already an abandoned pawn in Grand Old Master Wang’s heart. Even if he found her in the future, she could only go to a temple to spend the rest of her life.

Old Master Wang was so angry that his eyes almost popped out. He stood up and said fiercely, “A mere magistrate’s wife actually dares to kidnap the daughter of the Wang family. Does she think our Wang family is made of mud?”

Grand Old Master Wang looked at Old Master Wang with a sharp gaze and said coldly, “You don’t know what’s good for you! If you hadn’t been so eager for quick success back then, would our Wang family have fallen into such a state? Ah Hai is the only one in the family that still has a public office. If Kun can be ranked this time, it means that His Majesty has already forgiven the Wang family. If not, you’d better behave yourself.”

Grand Old Master Wang’s words were like a blow to his head. It reminded Old

Master Wang of how he had chosen the wrong side and harmed the entire Wang family. However, being castigated by Old Master Wang in front of the juniors made him feel very embarrassed. He fell back into his chair with a dark expression.

Old Master Wang didn’t look at him anymore. He turned to look at Wang Qinghai and said gently, “Ah Hai, we came back in a hurry today. Some people might already be guessing what happened to the Wang family. Just investigate Wang Zhong according to what your grandaunt said. I’ll also use my connections to investigate. We have to know who is behind this.”

Wang Qinghai stood up and bowed. “Yes, Granduncle. You’ve just returned and are tired. I’ll go back first.” Old Master Wang nodded and sent Wang Qinghai away.

After Wang Qinghai left, Old Madam Wang told the truth that A Yue had sent Wang Zhong out to kidnap the magistrate’s wife and throw her into the mountains to feed the wolves. She also told the two of them that Madam Lin was looking for Ah Yue behind her back.

Old Madam Wang looked at her son whose expression kept changing and complained, “A good child was raised to be so wayward by Madam Lin and even caused the Wang family to lose face. Back then… ”

Grand Old Master Wang rubbed his glabella with a headache and interrupted Old Madam Wang impatiently. “Alright, let’s not talk about the past anymore. I’ve been riding for a few hours and I’m about to fall apart. Get someone to prepare water for me.”

Old Madam Wang glanced at the father and son and shut her mouth resentfully.

Li Yu brought Xiaoyu and the others home to pick corn seeds for the entire day. From time to time, she would look at the rain and wonder where Zhou Jia had gone.

The drizzle lasted for two days. Grand Old Master Wang heard that Madam Li entered the city alone that day. When she entered the city, her clothes were stained with blood. When Madam Li returned to the back office, the officials guarding the government office did not discover any abnormal movements. The next morning, she left the city with the butler and probably went to the wasteland to take a look before returning.

Old Master Wang felt that Wang Zhong might have already taken action, but he was killed by the magistrate’s guards. Old Master Wang suspected that Ah Yue had suffered from Madam Li’s revenge, but he had no evidence to prove it. Old Master Wang led people to search the city everywhere for a day, but he still could not find any traces of Ah Yue and Wang Zhong.

The next day, the Wang family spread the news that Ah Yue had contracted an evil illness and moved to the manor to recuperate. The Wang family had already given up on Ah Yue, but they buried the resentment of Madam Li for sending someone to kidnap her.

Li Yu didn’t care about the Wang family’s investigation at all. As soon as the rain stopped, she busied herself with developing land.

Zhou Jia brought his people to a remote county under the Yunzhou Prefecture called Mountain Leng. Not long after the car entered the city, he saw a crowd of people in front of him. There was an argument in the crowd. Zhao Cai listened for a while and said to Zhou Jia, “Master, listen. It seems to be Ah Wei’s voice.”

Zhou Jia also felt that it was Ah Wei. He remembered that he had not found Mr. Wen and Ah Wei along the way and hurriedly said, “Get out of the car and squeeze in to take a look.”

Zhao Cai got out of the car and pushed through the crowd. He saw a few ruffians pushing Ah Wei and a handsome young man. The two of them protected the angry Mr. Wen and kept retreating. Zhao Cai strode forward and slapped the ruffian who pushed Ah Wei. He protected him and asked, “Old

Master, Ah Wei, what’s going on?”

Mr. Wen and Ah Wei looked at Zhao Cai and heaved a sigh of relief..
