Chapter 274: Qu Wan'er is discovered]

In this case, there is no need to dream of relying on Qu Wenmin's power. It would be better to get the illegally mined gold mine. Now that you have money in your hands, are you afraid that no one will work for you?

As for the news of illegal gold mining leaking out, I'm afraid it has already reached the palace in the capital. When the mined gold disappears, the blame can be put on Qu Wenmin or the bandits and heroes gathered in Dingzhou City at this time. He is happy to take all the blame, reap the benefits, and make a fortune in silence!

Xiao Yuncong thought it over and said calmly, "Just go and do your work. Tell everyone that this matter must not be made public."

"Yes." The guard agreed and went to do his work.

The rooms of the princess and mistress, and even the storeroom in the general's mansion were emptied one after another. Qu Wenmin's face was extremely gloomy.

Why do the events of the past few days bear such a resemblance to the robbery of the gold mine's warehouse? Both were completely emptied. A bandit with such skill must be no ordinary person!

However, the news about the gold mine must have leaked out, otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many people from the underworld gathering in Dingzhou City in just a few days.

Perhaps some powerful figure in the martial arts world stole the gold and the treasury of the general's mansion.

If that's true, then... the place where he hid the gold he embezzled wouldn't be safe anytime soon...

Thinking of this, Qu Wenmin couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

At this moment, Zhao rushed in in panic, not caring about the quarrel she had just had with Qu Wenmin, and cried, "Master! Wan'er is missing! I'm afraid she was kidnapped by thieves! Please send someone to look for her quickly!"

Qu Wenmin was startled, a flash of impatience flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "What's going on again?"

Zhao was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.

She has suffered so much injustice, and her only hope now is that her daughter will marry the second prince and become the queen, and then she can make the decision for herself and scold Qu Wenmin. What should she do if anything happens to her daughter?

Nanny Li, who had supported Zhao, knelt down and said, "Master, after the Madam discovered the burglary, she became worried about the princess, so she immediately sent a servant to check on the princess's room. Only then did she discover that the princess was not there. The palace has been burglarized for two consecutive days, and there was also an assassination attempt on His Royal Highness Prince Rui. I'm afraid the princess ran into the thieves tonight, and that's why she was captured! Master, the most important thing now is to quickly send someone to find the princess!"

Qu Wenmin was extremely anxious and impatient.

Like mother, like daughter. His daughter was as unruly and tyrannical as Zhao.

In the past, he could still tolerate them for the sake of his own future and various concerns, but now, he only felt disgusted by them.

At this moment, the housekeeper rushed in and said in a trembling voice, "Master, something bad has happened..."

When he saw Zhao and Li Ma, the words that were about to come out of his mouth stopped abruptly.

Qu Wenmin glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with that?"

The housekeeper glanced at Zhao and whispered, "Master, can I borrow your permission for a moment..."

Zhao had suffered a series of blows, and her composure as a mistress had long since vanished. Instead, Nanny Li, upon hearing this, glared at her with a stern look and said, "Butler Wang, what is it that Madam cannot hear? Why do you need to excuse yourself?"

Qu Wenmin didn't want to bother with these things and said impatiently, "Just tell me what you have to say. There's no need to hide it."

The housekeeper had no choice but to stutter, "Master, they found the princess on the street..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao's bewildered expression immediately cleared up. She glared at the housekeeper and asked, "Wan'er...Wan'er has been found? Where is she? Let her in quickly!"

The housekeeper said awkwardly: "Madam, the princess..."
