Ye Yunniang ran all the way to the prefectural government office, panting heavily, "I want to see Lord Bao."

Upon hearing Ye Yunniang's words, the guard on duty laughed. "Anyone dares to come and see the magistrate!"

"Come on, come on, you can see Judge Bao whenever you want, hurry up."

“I have important business to discuss with him. Tell him that my surname is Ye and my name is Ye Yunniang. He will see me.”

"I don't care if you're Ye Yunniang or Li Yunniang. Get out of here, or I'll get rough." The constable brandished his stick, indicating that he would beat people if they didn't leave.

"It's really urgent, please. Please inform Lord Bao. I need to see him."

"Hurry up and go." The constable gave Ye Yunniang an impatient shove.

Ye Yunniang took a few steps back and stopped. Seeing the constables blocking her way, she shouted.

"Bao Min, Bao Min..."

"How dare you address the magistrate by his name!" Upon hearing this, the constable became enraged. He raised his stick, ready to strike Ye Yunniang.

"stop."

Luo Xin, who had just returned, witnessed this scene that terrified him. He leaped forward and blocked the stick.

"Guard Luo, this woman,"

Ye Yunniang interrupted the yamen runner's explanation.

"Luo Xin, my mother is missing. Did Bao Min hide her and Shushu?"

"Madam is missing!" Luo Xin's expression changed drastically, and he rushed into the mansion to look for Bao Min.

Ye Yunniang followed Luo Xin inside.

This time, the guards at the gate did not stop them.

From Luo Xin's words, he could tell that the woman in front of him had a close relationship with the man.

The two guards on duty exchanged a glance.

what to do?

It seems they've gotten themselves into trouble?

Ye Yunniang bumped into Bao Min, who was walking out.

At this moment, Bao Min exuded a cold aura, with Tong Mo and Zhou Yunluo following behind him.

"Where is Madam? Where is Shushu? Where is she?"

Bao Min seemed anxious, which didn't seem like he was acting, but Ye Yunniang still had her doubts.

"You really didn't take my mother and Shushu away?"

"I won't do anything to displease Madam," Bao Min said clearly, then asked Ye Yunniang again, "Where has Madam gone?"

Ye Yunniang temporarily believed Bao Min and recounted Cai Damei's unusual behavior that morning from beginning to end.

"Luo Xin, even if you have to turn Jiangcheng upside down, find Madam and Shushu for me."

At the same time, Bao Min's mind raced, trying to figure out who had kidnapped Cai Damei and Cai Shuyi.

"Yes." Luo Xin led his men to go find them.

Ye Yunniang did not stay long at the prefectural government office and went home.

Her children at home are waiting for her.

"I'll take you." Tong Mo was worried about Ye Yunniang going back alone.

“I’ll go too.” Zhou Yunluo followed behind.

"No need. I can manage on my own." Ye Yunniang declined, not wanting to get involved with Tong Mo.

Ye Yunniang walked out of the prefectural government office and saw Jiang Mingzhe waiting outside.

Jiang Mingzhe quickened his pace and put his arm around Ye Yunniang, whose body was limp.

"I have already notified Wenyuan to go and find Mother and Shushu."

"Let's go home, Pan'er is still waiting for me." Mother and Shushu had an accident, the children can't be hurt too.

"Okay." Jiang Mingzhe helped Ye Yunniang into the carriage and left.

"Brother, she doesn't like you. Stop staring at her." Zhou Yunlu kicked Tong Mo.

Zhou Yunluo didn't understand.

Tong Mo looked down on all the beautiful and gentle women in the capital. He was blind enough to fall for Ye Yunniang, who was of average appearance and had three sons.

"Go back to the manor and stay there," Tong Mo instructed before walking out.

Where are you going?

"Looking for my aunt."

"Looking for your aunt? I want to go too." Zhou Yunlu followed, trying to shake her off, but no way.

The carriage slowly returned to Sunset Lane, and Ye Yunniang disembarked.

"Aunt Yunniang!" Xu Erlei rushed over, but was blocked by Jiang Mingzhe.

"Erlei, your aunt has something to do. Let's talk another day." Ye Yunniang was not in the mood to talk to Xu Erlei right now.

"Aunt Yunniang, look."

Xu Erlei stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a hair tie with a small golden bell pendant.

Ye Yunniang glanced at it casually, then her eyes stopped.

He grabbed the hair tie and looked closely inside the little bell.

The word "book" is engraved inside the bell.

That's right, it's Shushu's hair tie, a New Year's gift from Ye Yunniang to Shushu.

Cai Shuyi really liked the jingling bells.

Ye Yunniang specially ordered about ten small bells engraved with the character "Shu" from the Jinlou. She also selected silk thread in a color that Shushu liked.

Bells were attached to the silk threads, and hair ties, bracelets, and other accessories were made for the book.

In the morning, Cai Damei tied Shushu's hair into a little bun with a bell-shaped hair tie.

Ye Yunniang excitedly grabbed Xu Erlei's arms with both hands.

"Erlei, where did you find that hair tie? Tell me quickly, where did you find it?"

Ye Yunniang's slightly ferocious appearance due to her urgency frightened Xu Erlei.

Xu Erlei struggled, but Ye Yunniang held him tightly, making his voice tremble with fear.

"I, I,"

Jiang Mingzhe hugged Ye Yunniang, "Yunniang, you scared him. Let go, let go."

Ye Yunniang looked at Xu Erlei, who was almost crying from fright, and withdrew her hand.

"Erlei, your aunt is too anxious. Don't be afraid, your aunt didn't mean it."

Ye Yunniang explained, and Xu Erlei took two steps back.

Hearing the commotion, Granny Xu came out of the Xu family courtyard.

"Er Lei".

"Grandma." Xu Erlei ran to Grandma Xu's side and leaned against her to calm himself down after being frightened.

"Aunt Xu, I'm sorry. I scared Erlei just now." Ye Yunniang briefly explained that Cai Damei and Shushu were missing, and that Xu Erlei had found the hair tie that Shushu had tied that morning.

After listening, Granny Xu patted Xu Erlei on the shoulder.

"Erlei, tell Grandma anything you know."

Xu Erlei nodded and began to recount what had happened.
