Chapter 138 The entire staff of the General of the Nation's Mansion is in a hurry

Therefore, Lu Qingxiao watched Lu Qingjia's every move from the outside without any restraint.

Lu Qingjia was completely unaware that a pair of eyes were watching her from outside, and was still tinkering with her things in the room.

"Why does this thing look so strange?" Lu Qingjia looked at the jar on the table next to her, somewhat puzzled.

He picked it up and examined it from top to bottom, and even tried to open the jar, but he couldn't unscrew it no matter what he did.

Enraged, Lu Qingjia decided to throw the pot in the air. As if the pot could understand Lu Qingjia's words, just as Lu Qingjia was about to smash it on the ground, the lid of the pot fell to the ground with a "crack".

Why is this jar so rebellious?

Lu Qingjia walked straight forward, picked up the lid of the jar, and then looked at the contents of the jar.

The jar contained golden powder, and it smelled like…

Lu Qingjia frowned. This wasn't a wound medicine?

Lu Qingjia then seemed to realize something; when he fainted, it was because the man in black who appeared out of nowhere had poisoned him.

At the time, he didn't know what kind of poison the man in black had given him. Could it be that the wound medicine was left by the man in black?

But if he was going to knock me out, why was he being so kind to me?

Lu Qingjia couldn't understand it at all.

Lu Qingjia decided to think it over carefully.

He had no idea that Lu Qingxiao, who was outside the door and window, saw Lu Qingjia's thoughtful expression and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Inside that bottle was a wound medicine that had accidentally fallen out of his sleeve when he was stopping Lu Qingjia's bleeding, and he had forgotten to take it with him.

He hadn't expected... that this kid would actually be able to discover what he had left behind.

"Let's leave this kid for now. The most important thing is to prepare our things and head to Jiangnan. Anyway, no one will find this place anytime soon."

but……

Lu Qingxiao frowned. He suddenly remembered that Lu Qingjia was General Lu's darling. If the boy went missing, General Lu would be extremely anxious.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingxiao felt that he must hurry up and go to Yangzhou in Jiangnan to capture Shen Pingjin.

Lu Qingxiao's eyes darkened, and he turned to leave.

He had no idea that Lu Qingjia's disappearance had already caused a huge uproar in the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

The courtyard is deep and secluded, with red walls and green tiles. A peach tree stands out in the middle of the courtyard, and peach petals fall from the tree and land slowly on the bluestone slab.

The scene was peaceful and serene, but suddenly a woman's crying broke the tranquility.

Pei Fuqu buried her face in her husband's arms and wept, her brows furrowed and her voice trembling. Her small, porcelain-white face was streaked with tears.

Even though she was already a mother of one, her appearance was still so pitiful and stunningly beautiful.

Lu Chong patted Pei Fuqu's shoulder tenderly and comforted her loudly, "Fuqu, don't be sad. Maybe Qingjia just ran away to play and will come back when he's tired of playing."

Although Lu Chong said that, he wasn't really sure himself.

However, the most urgent task is to stabilize his wife first.

"But...but...it's been three days and Jiajia still hasn't come back. As his mother, I'm so worried about him!" Pei Fuqu cried even louder. "Chong-ge, do you think I shouldn't have pushed him so hard..."

Lu Chong couldn't stand seeing Pei Fuqu cry. He was a rough man and didn't know how to comfort a woman. Pei Fuqu was usually gentle, obedient, and virtuous, so she wouldn't usually act like this. Who knew that she would start crying and making a fuss now that her brat son had been thrown away?!

"Fuqu, don't worry. Qingjia has always been playful. Maybe he's just trying to make us parents worry."

Pei Fuqu didn't buy it. "But it's been three days already. What if some ill-intentioned people catch him and find out that he's the gifted eldest son of our family? Wouldn't that cause trouble again?"

“Last time, Jiajia was almost kidnapped. Do you think that if the kidnapper who’s targeting him seizes this opportunity, Jiajia will be far away from us and in danger?”

Lu Chong frowned, clearly having thought of the earlier incident as well.

"Fuqu, do you think Qingjia, that brat, went to play with the Regent's Consort again?"

Pei Fuqu, who was sobbing in Lu Chong's arms, paused for a moment. The handkerchief she was holding fluttered in the air at an angle. "Hey, Chong-ge! I had completely forgotten about this. You're right, maybe Jiajia went to their mansion to play!"

As she spoke, the light that had finally flickered in Pei Fuqu's eyes dimmed again. "But you never know, after all, he is the Regent. If Jiajia goes to their residence, they will definitely send someone to inform them."

Lu Chong frowned upon hearing this. "You're right, but we're out of ideas now. I should have known better than to lock this kid up, but... but!!"

"Sigh!" Lu Chong sighed heavily. It wasn't his fault that he often locked up his brat!

He was truly at a loss. Ever since that old man came to their general's mansion that year and said that this brat was exceptionally talented and a martial arts genius, he had brought countless troubles to their general's mansion.

The current emperor already had doubts about the Lu family, and now that a martial arts prodigy has emerged, wouldn't his concerns about them be even greater?

So ever since he learned about the brat's affair, he took the initiative to ask the Emperor for permission to keep Lu Qingjia in the Zhenguo General's Mansion unless there were special circumstances, and not to go out unless necessary.

Recently, because of the kidnapping incident, this brat has been clamoring to see pretty older sisters. He originally didn't want to listen to a word of it, but this kid must have given his mother some kind of spell, which made Pei Fuqu come to his ear to plead for him.

With the influence of his bedmate, how could he not waver? With a soft heart, he kept it a secret from everyone in the mansion and sent Lu Qingjia to the Regent's Palace.

However, he had also spoken to Regent Yan Jue in advance, asking him to make sure Lu Qingjia's safety was protected.

Lu Qingjia finally returned unharmed, but a few days later, when he went to the backyard to talk to the brat, the brat had vanished without a trace!

I thought he was just practicing his boxing somewhere in the mansion, but I didn't expect that he would be gone for three days.

Sigh! He doesn't know what to do either.

"Fuqu, don't worry. I'll send someone to the Regent's Palace to inquire. If there's no news about Jiajia, we'll send people out to search for her!"

"Our General's Mansion is not to be trifled with or slaughtered! If Qingjia is kidnapped, even if that person escapes to the ends of the earth, I will not let that person go!"
