Chapter 140 The girl is missing

The third prince dodged suddenly, but the gauze hat on his head was knocked away by the pheasant.

In the sunlight, a big, bright, glowing head suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

When the villagers saw this, they were so shocked that their eyes widened.

No wonder the emperor would rather appoint his mediocre and incompetent eldest son as the crown prince. It turns out that the third prince, who they thought was extremely handsome, is actually bald!

It's not just the Wei Dynasty. All royal families have an unwritten rule that those with disabilities or disfigurement cannot become emperors.

Although the third prince was not disabled and had an outstanding appearance, his hidden baldness was enough to make him lose the qualification to compete for the throne.

After all, no one wants their offspring to have bald heads, as it would really undermine the royal dignity.

Seeing the strange looks from the crowd, the Third Prince was so scared that he quickly covered his head.

"Someone come, come quickly!" He shouted sternly with a pale face.

When the guards saw this, they were so frightened that they quickly brought a black cloth to cover him.

Surrounded by his guards, the Third Prince left in a hurry, looking embarrassed.

The old tutor looked at it and shook his head helplessly.

"Godfather, let's go." Shen Wan smiled and stepped forward to support him.

Seeing that she was so sensible, the old master's displeasure dissipated a little.

The execution was over, and the cook's body had been disposed of by the officers and soldiers. There was not much point in staying here at this point.

So the old tutor nodded.

As the group returned to the post station, they saw Da Niu's mother running towards Chen Wan with a terrified look on her face: "Oh no, Da Niu and Xie Murong are missing, Wang Qi and Brother Hu are leading people to look for them everywhere!"

"They asked me to wait for you here and ask you to help find a solution."

When I just came back from the cabin in the woods, Xie Murong was still there.

But at that time, everyone was in a hurry to catch the cook, so no one paid much attention to her.

It was normal for the girl to want to escape after seeing that the truth was revealed, but why did she bring the older girl with her?

Along the way, I didn't see her being particularly affectionate towards the girl!

Used to threaten Wang Qi?

That seems even more impossible.

"Where else could they go?" The old master frowned slightly, "Let's send someone to look for them."

Since she is Shen Wan’s sister-in-law, he feels that he can’t ignore this matter.

If he wants the little fox to love her, he, as a father, has to do more.

Xie Mubai didn't say anything.

He had long lost his heart towards his only sister.

First he helped his enemy steal food, and now he is colluding with his enemy to frame his own brother.

If the Third Prince really wanted to silence the witness, that was her own choice.

But she shouldn't have dragged the big girl into this.

"By the way, Murong seemed to have gone out with a man." Suddenly, Li, who was washing clothes, seemed to remember something and said uncertainly, "But the big girl was not with her at the time."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wan immediately asked, “What does that man look like?”

She didn't care about Xie Murong, but she couldn't ignore the safety of the big girl.

Li shook her head.

"I know!" Erbao blinked his big watery eyes and said in a baby voice, "That man is the guard of the Third Prince."

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he said the words "Third Prince", Shen Wan actually saw a hint of imperceptible murderous intent in those clear eyes.

Without time to think, she ran straight to the third prince's room.

"Where are Xie Murong and the big girl?" Shen Wan pushed the door open and asked unhappily.

Revealing his bald head in front of everyone made the Third Prince, who was already in a bad mood, even more irritated.

Seeing that this clown girl actually came to question him, he said impatiently: "She is your person, why are you asking me questions?"

He wrapped his head with a black cloth, wishing his hair would grow overnight.

But his hair just didn't grow as he wished. The more he thought about it, the slower it grew.

I've been shaving for several days, but only a little bit of hair has appeared.

"Why are you asking me?" Shen Wan grabbed his vital point and stared at his handsome face. "Someone saw your people take Xie Murong away!"

Looking at the vital point that was being held, the third prince clenched his fist and then loosened it.

He smiled coldly and asked, "So what if I take you away?"

"You know what these female prisoners did on the road to survive, don't you?"

"I heard that both of Xie Mubai's sisters-in-law have lost their virginity..."

"What a pity! In the Duke's Mansion, there isn't even a loyal woman."

Seeing this bastard wantonly slandering the Duke's Mansion, Shen Wanqi's eyes were spitting fire, and she couldn't help but increase the strength of her hands.

The Third Prince's body stiffened in pain, and his smooth forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.

"Disrespecting the prince, do you know what that crime is?" He gritted his teeth, his voice terribly cold, "If anything happens to me, everyone in the Xie family will be buried with me!"

He was obviously gritting his teeth in hatred, but he didn't take any action.

Not only did this ugly woman make great contributions in the smallpox incident, but he couldn't easily turn against her just because he had the support of Master Liu.

More importantly, his vital point is still being held by this Joker girl.

As long as she exerts a little force, his story of being the leading man will come to a grand end.

Shen Wan squinted her eyes and sneered contemptuously: "Even if you are innocent, you will lead people to catch the stolen goods. What difference does it make whether you are respectful or disrespectful!"

The third prince's heart sank.

"Wan'er, what are you doing!" At this time, Tutor Liu and Xie Mubai also hurried over.

"I just want to save people!" Shen Wan didn't even look at them, and roared angrily, "Third Prince, don't go too far!"

"I just killed one of your subordinates and framed you, and I let it go so easily, yet you're still not satisfied!"

"I don't want to get involved in the dirty business between you and Xie Murong, but you have to give the girl back to me!"

"She's only four years old, she's still a child!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince looked innocent and said, "That little girl's disappearance has nothing to do with me. What's the point in arresting her?"

Taifu Liu frowned.

It would be fine if it was anyone else, but the one who disappeared was Wang Qi's niece, which would be a big trouble.

Who is Wang Qi? He is the most talented man in the capital.

As long as he wrote a few words, the matter would spread like wildfire.

He thought for a moment, then looked at the Third Prince coldly: "I believe you didn't do this, but if you know anything, you might as well tell Wan'er."

"As long as the person is fine, then this matter is over."

What he meant was that if anything happened to the girl, he would never let her go.

Of course, he also didn't want Shen Wan and the Third Prince to be openly enemies.

Looking at the old master's cold eyes, and then at the small black hand clasping his vital point, the Third Prince finally gave in: "When we came here, the guards tied their horses in the woods at the entrance of the town. Perhaps they went there."

It seems that I will lose another subordinate this time.

But he didn't care.

It's just a chess piece. At worst, we can just find another one to replace it.

"Okay, I'll go check it out!" Shen Wan stared at him intently and said coldly, "If I can't find him, I'll go to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor!"

Before she finished speaking, she let go of his hand.

The moment he let go, the cold needle tip pierced the Third Prince's skin.

On the snow-white skin, a bright red blood bead sparkled enchantingly in the sunlight.

"You...what did you do to me?" Looking at the drop of blood, the third prince hugged his arms and looked at Chen Wan with horror.
