But God-given was her destiny.

Having exhausted all other options and not knowing how to get him back, she could only grasp at a straw and tell Bai Yanzhang the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yanzhang immediately concluded, "That shopkeeper must have been involved."

Qin Wenjun was taken aback.

"How could that be? I've known the shopkeeper for two or three years, and she's even helped my daughter and me out. How could this be..."

Does she sometimes bring snacks for your son?

Qin Wenjun froze.

"Won't."

Thinking about it, the shopkeeper was indeed a little too enthusiastic towards her today.

She submitted only ordinary embroidery, not double-sided embroidery, and the shopkeeper treated her and the other embroiderers with indifference.

She originally thought it was because the shopkeeper was worried about her since she hadn't come for over a month.

Looking back now, I wonder if she might have had ulterior motives?

She hurriedly said, "I'll go back to find her right now!"

"etc."

Bai Yanzhang called out to her.

“If you confront her like this, she definitely won’t admit it. Wait a moment, I’ll bring the constables over.”

"Thanks!"

Bai Yanzhang had his attendant relay the message, and soon after, twenty constables from the Dali Temple arrived.

Qin Wenjun took Bai Yanzhang and the yamen runners to the embroidery workshop.

After being interrogated by Bai Yanzhang, the shopkeeper told the truth.

“It was the servant of the Marquis of Guangyang’s son who came to me. He gave me five hundred taels of silver and asked me to help him abduct the child. The child has already been taken away by him, and I don’t know where he is.”

Heir apparent to the Marquis of Guangyang?

Qin Wenjun was astonished.

What did he want with Tianci? Did Meng Qi hold a grudge against her and ask him for help to get revenge?
