Someone immediately helped Lou Wanyue to the imperial concubine's couch next to her. Lou Wanyue cried uncontrollably, sobbing, "Grandmother, your grandson wants to beat me and kill me?"

"How is it possible? A person like Run'er wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken..." At this point, she felt something was wrong and laughed, "Quick, start from the beginning. My heart is broken by your tears."

Lou Wanyue paused and twisted the handkerchief again: "This is what happened. An Qingran and his mother are missing. He said that I hid them..."

As she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, she looked at the Queen Mother through the crack, but she saw that the Queen Mother was not surprised at all. She continued, "I admit that I went to the other courtyard and I had a quarrel with An Qingran, but what happened afterwards was definitely not done by me, Grandmother, you have to believe me."

The Queen Mother sighed, "You have confused me. How could An Qingran be in the other courtyard? And how did she get lost? What did Run'er do? How come I don't know?"

She was very calm.

Lou Wanyue felt somewhat suspicious. If the Queen Mother knew about An Qingran's situation, she would definitely not be so calm. Could it be that An Qingran and her son were really captured by her?

If so, then it all makes sense.

"Grandmother, An Qingran and her son were captured by Dongfang Run and taken to the other courtyard. I only found out about it yesterday. I went there and questioned them. I found out what An Qingran was up to, but I didn't expect that Dongfang Run would blame me for the quarrel with her. This morning, she thought I had captured An Qingran. I have no money or power, so how could I have captured her? Grandmother, you have to make the decision for me..."

"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, there's no need to cry. When Run'er is home, I will talk to him and ask him why he treated you like this. Now that An Qingran is gone, she's gone. If she's lost, we can go find her again." The Queen Mother said indifferently.

Lou Wanyue nodded and wiped her eyes: "Grandmother is the best..."

"You are young after all. Is it worth making a fuss about such a small matter? If others hear it, won't they laugh at you?" The Queen Mother said with a smile, "This An Qingran is really something. Does she want to take advantage of everything? After failing to take care of Dongfang Jin, she wants to take over Dongfang Run. Tell Run'er, I don't agree with it."

Lou Wanyue was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the Queen Mother to say this. She smiled and said, "Does the Queen Mother think that An Qingran is also interested in Dongfang Run? Does she really want to stand on the high branch?"

"Of course, I don't think she is in a hurry... I don't think she is a good person either. She chose only the prince among all the people back then, so I knew she was not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that she would have such an intention. So, isn't it good that she was kidnapped? You have to relax even if Run'er blames you. No matter what, you are the principal wife, and you have to be graceful like a principal wife." The Queen Mother turned the topic to her.

Lou Wanyue was shocked. Just now, she seemed to have heard the Queen Mother say that she was not anxious to see An Qingran. Did that mean that she saw him? Had she met An Qingran?

Lou Wanyue only had a flash of thought, she did not show any difference, but seemed not to have heard it, and nodded slightly: "Grandmother is right. Wanyue was too excited and did not think clearly. I think An Qingran will not really be in trouble. It is a good thing that they were robbed, but what will these people who robbed her do with her?"

"It's hard to say. They are extraordinary now." The Queen Mother seemed unwilling to say more about An Qingran, and changed the subject, "How about you? Are you in good health now? Speaking of which, you should take good care of yourself. I have some medicinal herbs here, such as ginseng and antlers, all of which are excellent. Come and take whatever you need."

"Thank you, Grandmother." Lou Wanyue said with a smile, "Wanyue told Grandmother all these thoughts from my heart, and now I feel much better. I hope Grandmother won't be upset because of this."

"Oh, I'm very happy that you can trust me. Please visit me more often in the future. Also, it's okay for you two to have a quarrel. Just don't take it to heart after the quarrel." The empress dowager seemed tired. After saying this, she yawned. Lou Wanyue said a few more polite words and then left.

She walked out of the yard and carefully recalled the empress dowager's words and expressions. She felt more and more suspicious. She walked towards the front yard and came to the door of Dongfang Run's study. She hesitated for a moment, gathered her hair, took a deep breath, and then pushed open the door.

The room was still filled with the smell of alcohol. The maids were cleaning the room, but Dongfang Run was not there.

Lou Wanyue was a little surprised. After asking, she found out that Dongfang Run was discussing something with someone in the main hall.

There was no doubt that he was ordering people to find An Qingran and her son. Thinking of this, her heart still twitched with pain. She knew An Qingran's feelings, but because of this, she felt even more embarrassed. She didn't even care about the heart of someone whom she couldn't win no matter how hard she tried to please.

Yes, everyone has their own preferences. In other words, I would not accept Dongfang Jin either.

An Qingran saw it clearly, but he himself didn't.

Thinking of this, she finally calmed down and waited quietly for Dongfang Run to come back. Dongfang Run soon entered the house, but Lou Wanyue did not say anything. She first took a beauty vase with a peony on it and threw it to the ground. Petals and broken porcelain flew everywhere. Dongfang Run stood there without hiding, but just raised his eyebrows lightly. The little maids were so scared that they wanted to step forward to clean up but did not dare to. If they did not step forward, they were afraid of being punished. Dongfang Run waved his hand and asked them to retreat.

He looked at Lou Wanyue as if he didn't know her. A gleam flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to get angry, Lou Wanyue waved her hand at him and said in a low voice: "Listen to me, I just went to the Queen Mother and I found something..."

At this point, she raised her voice and said a few angry words with a crying tone, then lowered her voice again: "The Queen Mother's behavior is very special. She seems to know that An Qingran is in your villa, and she also seems to know that An Qingran is missing. So, I think the Queen Mother may know about the disappearance of the mother and son, and may be related to this matter."

Having said this, Lou Wanyue stopped and looked at Dongfang Run's expression.

Dongfang Run was completely stunned. He instantly understood what Lou Wanyue was thinking, so he raised his voice and yelled at her twice, saying that she was jealous or something like that, then took two steps forward and said, "Then tell me in detail your conversation with the Queen Mother."

Lou Wanyue felt sad when she saw Dongfang Run's expression, but she knew she did the right thing. If she just went into a cold war with him, she would have fewer opportunities to talk to him in the future. Now she was just trying her best to help him, which was also helping An Qingran and herself.

She also wanted to prove to him that she was not just a jealous person and that she was on his side.

She then recounted in detail her conversation with the Queen Mother. Sure enough, Dongfang Run also felt that there was something wrong. He was anxious. If this was true, then the Queen Mother would definitely take action. She would not give up this great opportunity.

Dongfang Run was relieved.

Lou Wanyue approached and advised softly: "I think the Queen Mother will not harm them for the time being. You must find them during this period of time. I am afraid that the night will be long and dreams will arise."

"I understand..." Dongfang Run said calmly.

Lou Wanyue still felt a little cold in her heart. She had done so much for him, but he wasn't moved at all?

Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly: "I have done everything I can. If you need anything, just let me know."

As he said that, he stood up and walked out. When he passed by Dongfang Run, he only heard him whisper: "You also take care of yourself..."

Although there were no more words, but these few words were enough to melt the ice in Lou Wanyue's heart slightly. The sound of dripping water made her feel that spring was slowly approaching. People are all made of compassion, and when she saw her own achievements, her heart couldn't help but warm.

Lou Wanyue returned to her room. Her son had fallen asleep with a rosy little face. In the past two months, his body had become much stronger. Compared with the newborn little ball of fur, he looked more and more like Dongfang Run. Looking at this little face, Lou Wanyue knew that everything she had done was worth it.

If there was no An Qingran, this little guy would not have been born. Thinking of this, the resentment towards An Qingran was much less, but a little more worried. Her son was also this age, and I don't know what their situation is like? Did the person who robbed them abuse them?

I just hope that person is the Queen Mother. At least An Qingran and her son will be useful in her eyes and their lives will not be endangered.

At this moment, the nanny came in quietly, holding a bowl of thick black medicine in her hand: "Madam, this medicine has been boiled three times and is still warm. Please drink it."

Lou Wanyue took the medicine and drank it. This was the prescription she got from An Qingran. She tried to drink it. Of course, she still believed An Qingran on this point and she would not lie to herself.

The medicine tasted bad, but she just swallowed it down forcefully. She had to maintain a healthy body to take care of her son and Dongfang Run. He would be with her until old age. Thinking of this, all the problems no longer mattered for the time being.

*****

At this moment, An Qingran had calmed down. She held the child in her arms, pressed her head against his warm little face, and said softly, "Baby, your father will come to pick us up... We must be strong. Can you hear what your mother says?"

The baby actually made a sound at this time, of course it was unconscious, but An Qingran was so happy that she almost started chanting Buddhist scriptures. Her son was extraordinary. He was so young, yet he loved and understood her.

An Qingran's eyes were filled with sorrow. She hated herself for being careless. She didn't know what had happened to her parents. This happened right after she left the General's Mansion. They must be blaming themselves. It was all her fault for being careless. At this moment, she didn't blame Ren Dong. Everything Ren Dong had done was enough to make up for her sins. She just felt sorry for her son. He hadn't lived a peaceful life for a few days, and he almost...

She almost didn't dare to think about whether she could hold on without her child by her side.
