Jiang Shuyan and Cao Jiao's faces were terribly gloomy, and they looked at her as if they wanted to tear her apart.

"My wife has already left for Dongjinguo. I will give you half a day at most. We should also return home in the evening."

After Rounu finished speaking, she turned around and tried to leave. Cao Jiao shouted:

"Stop! Do you think you can walk?" After saying that, she rushed forward and restrained Rounu.

Jiang Shuyan's eyes were filled with anger: "Tell me the truth about your wife's whereabouts, otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead."

Rounu was trembling with fear, but still said stubbornly: "Do you think I know their whereabouts?"

Cao Jiao was unwilling to accept this and watched Rounu leave.

At this time, the capital was in turmoil. Many high-ranking officials in the capital had lost their children, including the sixth prince in the palace.

Prince Jin ordered the Jinyiwei of the Dali Temple to conduct a comprehensive search for the child's whereabouts. The Queen Mother also learned of the prince's disappearance and was furious. She ordered Prince Jin to solve the case as soon as possible.

Prince Jin did not dare to slack off. He personally sat in the Dali Temple and checked clues from all sides, but there was still no trace of the child.

Inside the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Shuyan and Cao Jiao were terrified. Cao Jiao gritted her teeth and said, "The mastermind behind this must be someone extraordinary. They even dared to attack the prince."

Jiang Shuyan pondered for a moment: "Xiaobao must have been sent back to Dongjinguo by them. They kidnapped so many children to threaten the emperor and officials on the front line."

Cao Jiao bit her lip and clenched her fist:

"You mean the Emperor won't compromise for these children?"

Jiang Shuyan held Cao Jiao's shoulders with both hands:

"Jiaojiao, the front line is too dangerous. Xiaobao has already been in trouble. If something happens to you, what will happen to Dabao and me?"

Cao Jiao shook off Jiang Shuyan's hand:

"Do you mean to give up Xiaobao? How can you...how can you be so heartless? He is our child." Cao Jiao was furious.

Jiang Shuyan looked at Cao Jiao's excitement and sighed, "Of course I don't want to save Xiaobao, but the forces behind this are so huge. If we act rashly, I'm afraid we will get ourselves into trouble, let alone save Xiaobao."

Cao Jiao couldn't hear anything now, she only knew that he was going to give up Xiaobao.

"I've decided. I will follow Rounu deep into Dongjinguo. I will not give up on saving Xiaobao. If we don't come back within a year, you will consider us dead."

Jiang Shuyan's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly grabbed Cao Jiao's arm:

"Jiaojiao, don't be impulsive! Dong Jinguo is extremely dangerous. You are in great danger of death."

Cao Jiao's eyes were determined as she struggled to break free from his hand. "I've made up my mind. Xiaobao is my flesh and blood. I can't stand by and watch him in danger."

Jiang Shuyan had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go with you."

Cao Jiao shook her head: "Dabao still needs your care. You are a weak scholar, so it's useless for you to go. The Zhenguo Mansion also cannot do without you. I will go alone."
