With the Lunar New Year approaching, there are many stalls set up on the streets, and it's evening, so there are quite a few people.
The two searched all the nearby outhouses, but none of them were occupied.
Ye Panjiu felt a chill in her heart.
So much time has passed, and I still haven't found it.
Heng Tong now regrets it; he should have told Ye Taohua to be patient and deal with it when they got home.
"Girl, it's all my fault. I was too careless."
Ye Taohua shook her head. "If someone wants to do evil, no matter how you guard against it, they will find a loophole. Let's go find Lord Duan immediately."
Shuzhou City is so big, if you want to find someone, the prefect has the most power.
Heng Tong grabbed her waist with one hand and lightly flew onto the roof, quickly running towards the government office.
Ye Panjiu was so anxious that she didn't even have time to feel scared.
She didn't care about rules anymore and landed directly in the courtyard of the government office.
He strode forward, "Lord Duan! Ye Panjiu has a favor to ask!"
Without waiting for a response from inside, she pushed the door open.
Duan Jingcheng sat at his desk, looking at her with great surprise.
"My lord, Peach Blossom has disappeared! I beg you to send troops to search for her immediately and conduct a thorough search at the city gate!" Ye Panjiu said urgently.
Duan Jingcheng immediately stood up. "I'll go and give the order right away!"
Having done all this, Ye Panjiu didn't linger for a moment, "Let's go to the Qian family!"
The Qian family's house was quite far away, so Heng Tong simply picked up Ye Panjiu and carried her onto the roof.
He took her and ran.
The two landed directly in the Qian family's courtyard.
The Qian family's servants stared blankly at the two people who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
They immediately surrounded the two of them.
Ye Panjiu shouted, "Bring out the head of your Qian family! Don't force me to burn your entire Qian family down!"
Heng Tong casually snatched a torch from a servant and handed it to Ye Panjiu.
The servants remained silent, so Ye Panjiu took the torch and held it directly to the window paper.
"No! I'll go get them right away!"
The head servant was terrified and immediately ran outside.
She walked and howled.
"A fire has gone off! A fire is about to go off! People from the compound have arrived!"
Winters are dry, and all of the Qian family's houses were built together.
If this window paper catches fire, the entire Qian family will be engulfed in flames in no time.
There's no way to save them.
Before long, the entire Qian family, young and old, came running over.
Seeing this, Qian Zhiyi quickly raised his hand and said, "Miss, let's talk this out. Don't be impulsive."
Ye Panjiu shouted urgently, "Where is my daughter? Hand over my daughter!"
Qian Zhi was stunned. "I don't even know the girl, so how could I have taken your daughter away?"
Ye Panjiu held the torch closer to the window paper. "My name is Ye Panjiu, and my daughter's name is Ye Taohua. The Qian family isn't just you. You'd better find them quickly, or I'll burn this house down right now!"
Qian Zhi was sweating profusely with anxiety. This was the Qian family's ancestral home, where the ancestral tablets were kept.
He didn't dare delay and immediately looked at Qian Tairan in the crowd.
He roared, "If this fire starts today, the Qian family's ancestors will be gone, as will our parents! Tell me, did you actually lay a hand on the Ye family?!"
Qian Tairan's heart pounded, but he also felt that Ye Panjiu wouldn't dare to really set fire to the Qian family. She was just a young woman; how could she dare to start a fire? "I didn't. I've never even heard of that name."
Ye Panjiu grew increasingly anxious. If anything happened to Tao Hua, she would make the entire Qian family pay with their lives!
She was never a saint; if someone offended her, she would retaliate with resentment!
The torches drew closer.
Qian Zhi was sweating profusely, his eyes fixed on the torch.
The air grew heavy, and everyone felt a burning anxiety in their hearts.
Just then, the Qian family's door was pushed open.
Ye Panjiu looked in the direction of the sound.
The person walking step by step from the doorway toward her was none other than Su Yan.
Ye Panjiu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't loosen her grip on the torch.
Now that the world is vast, finding peach blossoms is the greatest goal.
Su Yan announced loudly, "Yan Yu has found Tao Hua and sent her back to the Ye family."
Ye Panjiu frowned. "You're not lying to me?"
It's been almost half an hour since the peach blossoms were picked. Shuzhou is so big, how could we possibly find them right away?
Upon hearing this, Qian Tairan couldn't stand it any longer and immediately jumped out, exclaiming, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Ye Taohua is still in his hands, how could she have been found?
Su Yan turned to look at him with a cold face, "It's impossible, Yan Yu is the one who's choking Qian Zixuan right now."
He was toying with a tinderbox in his hand, which contained fireworks. "If I light this, Qian Zixuan's life will end here."
Qian Tairan's face turned ashen, but he refused to believe it.
Feng Shu turned pale with fright and collapsed to the ground. "No! I'll talk! It was Tai Ran who tied up Ye Taohua! Tai Ran, tell me! Xuan'er's life is in his hands!"
Qian Zhi looked at Qian Tairan with an expression that said, "I knew it," and his eyes were full of disappointment.
"Smack!"
He slapped Qian Tairan hard across the face, yelling, "How long are you going to be so stubborn?!"
"Are you going to drag the entire Qian family down with you?!"
Ye Panjiu's mind raced. Su Yan must have rushed to Shuzhou, but Yan Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Presumably, after finding out the situation at home, he immediately had Yan Yu take control of Qian Zixuan.
The purpose was to use Qian Zixuan to threaten the Qian family.
She immediately looked at Qian Tairan and said firmly, "As long as you return the peach blossoms to me, I will not pursue this matter any further, and I will not let Qian Zixuan go to jail again."
Su Yan was quite impressed; the team cooperated very quickly.
Qian Tairan panicked now, "Are you serious?"
Ye Panjiu immediately held up three fingers, "I swear, if I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning!"
Su Yan frowned; why did this oath sound so unpleasant to him?
Qian Tairan was relieved and shouted to the guards, "Bring the person up!"
He originally planned to sell Ye Taohua to a brothel, but Ye Panjiu arrived too quickly.
Ye Taohua is still locked in his study; he hasn't had time to move her yet.
Heng Tong took the torch from Ye Panjiu; they no longer needed it.
When a sack was carried up, Ye Panjiu darted forward and quickly untied it.
What came into view was Ye Taohua's blood-stained face.
"Peach Blossom! It's your mother! Open your eyes and look at your mother!" Ye Panjiu cried out.
Ye Taohua then stopped pretending to be unconscious, opened her eyes, and threw herself into Ye Panjiu's arms, wailing, "Mother! You scared me to death! I thought I would never see you again!"
She considered all sorts of possible outcomes along the way, and was terrified.
Only when I smell my mother's scent do I feel completely at ease.
Ye Panjiu hugged Ye Taohua tightly, patting her back, her voice choked with emotion, "Mother is here, it's alright, it's alright."
Peach Blossom is her biological daughter, even though she is from another world and not Ye Taohua's biological mother.
But after becoming Ye Panjiu, she had already come to believe that Ye Taohua was truly her own daughter, and that the two had an unbreakable blood relationship.
This incident left her with lingering fear.
She didn't even dare to think about how devastated she would be if Ye Taohua really had an accident and could never be found again.
