521 Little Sly Jiang Killing Everyone (1)
Yu Shaoqing went to the kitchen to make a bowl of steaming dumplings. When he returned to the room with the dumplings, he realized that Madam Jiang was not in the room. At first, he thought that Madam Jiang had gone to the private room. After waiting for a while, she was nowhere to be seen. He wondered if Madam Jiang had gone to her daughter and son-in-law’s room.
“No, Mom has never been here,” Yu Wan said with wide almond-shaped eyes.
“I’ll go to Old Madam’s place to take a look.” Yu Shaoqing went to Old Madam’s room.
The three little black eggs were jumping around happily on the bed. Old Madam was watching them from the side with a smile on her face. When she heard that her youngest son was here, Old Madam’s eyes lit up. She abandoned her walking stick and could not wait to open the door for her youngest son.
The youngest son was here to look for his wife.
The old madam pursed her lips in disappointment. “Your wife isn’t with me.”
The three little black eggs slipped over and looked at Yu Shaoqing with wide black eyes. In front of the children, Yu Shaoqing did not ask any more questions. He said, “Rest early.” Then, he fled.
He could not explain why he wanted to escape. Perhaps it was because he suddenly had a mother and was a little shy.
Yu Shaoqing searched the entire courtyard, but there was no sign of Madam Jiang. This time, he couldn’t sit still.
Yu Shaoqing had been married to Madam Jiang for many years and knew his wife very well. His wife was definitely not someone who would run around. Although he was unwilling to believe it, something seemed to have really happened to his wife.
“What’s wrong, Dad? You haven’t found Mom yet?” Yu Wan walked out with her clothes draped over her shoulders. When she saw Yu Shaoqing pacing around the courtyard alone, she couldn’t help but ask.
Yu Shaoqing could not hide his anxiety as he said, “Your mother is hungry. I went to make food for her. When I returned from the kitchen, she was nowhere to be seen. I thought she went to one of your rooms, but in the end, she wasn’t anywhere.”
Yu Wan called Zi Su and Fu Ling over. “Have you seen my mother?”
The two of them shook their heads.
Zi Su said, “Fu Ling and I will ask them.”
“Go on.” Yu Wan nodded.
The two of them went to ask the maidservants and old women in the courtyard, but ever since Madam Jiang returned to her room to rest, no one had seen her again.
This explained the problem even more. If Madam Jiang was only out for a walk, then how could she not have bumped into any of the servants in the courtyard? Moreover, the old woman at the gate had never neglected her duty. She did not see anyone enter or leave, so no one entered or left through the main and back doors.
Madam Jiang had been kidnapped by an expert. Yu Wan and Yu Shaoqing had this guess in their hearts. Only an expert could cleverly avoid the gaze of the servants and bring her out of Wutong Courtyard without using the doors.
There were so many masters living in Wutong Courtyard. The experts did not kidnap others, but they kidnapped Madam Jiang.
In terms of the overall status of the hostages, the Old Madam had the highest status and the least resistance. It was the easiest to succeed in abducting her and they could also take the entire East Manor hostage. However, Yu Shaoqing had yet to officially accept this mother, so her status in Yu Shaoqing’s heart was inferior to his wife.
At the thought of this, the father and daughter were almost certain that the other party was here for Yu Shaoqing.
Yu Shaoqing had just entered Nanzhao and had yet to make enemies with anyone. The only possibility was that his identity and background had blocked someone’s path.
Yu Wan narrowed her eyes dangerously. Old thing, you better not have touched my mother…
“Dad, go find Uncle first and tell him about this. Ask him to mobilize the Helian family’s guards to help find Mom.” Yu Wan returned to her room and said to Yan Jiuchao, “Someone kidnapped Mom. You sleep first.”
“You’re not sleeping?” Yan Jiuchao asked.
Yu Wan widened her almond-shaped eyes. “I’m going to look for Mom! She was kidnapped and her fate is unknown. I’m very worried about her.”
Yan Jiuchao silently lowered his eyes. Wasn’t the fool who kidnapped her the one who should be worried? Did he know what kind of little scourge he had provoked?
The sky was dark and the wind was strong.
A carriage drove on the deserted street. The man in black was sitting in the carriage seat driving the carriage. Behind him, the woman in the carriage was so quiet that she seemed to have fallen asleep.
Ha, what a pitiful little girl who was easily frightened. She must regret being involved in such trouble. Who asked you to be Helian Beiyu’s wife? If you’re not unlucky, who is?
In the carriage, the “frightened pitiful little thing” widened her bright eyes and tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart. She sat down quietly and was especially obedient.
After more than two hours of long journey, the carriage circled into a forest and advanced around it for a while before arriving at the foot of a mountain. On the surface, there was nothing special about this foot of the mountain. Only the people in the sacrificial soldier camp knew where its smokescreen was.
