She saw Balian like this at this moment, and before he fainted, he dropped such a bombshell on her.
"Xiu Yan! Xiu Yan! Oh no, something terrible has happened. Your second brother..."
As soon as Shen Xiuyan got the news, he rushed over. As soon as he walked into the yard, he heard Jiang Mianmian's anxious cry.
His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong. He immediately rushed in and supported Jiang Mianmian, whose face was pale.
Not far from her feet, a thin figure was lying there quietly - it was the servant of the Shen family, and also Ba Liang who served the second son personally.
"Mother, what...what on earth happened?"
Jiang Mianmian immediately grabbed Shen Xiuyan's arm and said anxiously, "I don't know either! My heart suddenly panicked just now, and then I saw Ba Liang stumbling in.
He just opened his mouth to shout, "Old Madam, please save the Second Master," but before he could finish his words, he suddenly fainted on the ground. I was so scared that I was stunned.
"Boss, do you think your second brother might have been kidnapped? You know, that guy is very good at business and makes a lot of money. Maybe he's been targeted by someone with bad intentions!"
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Jiang Mianmian anxiously urged, "Boss, there's no time to lose. Go report this to the authorities immediately! And get a doctor in to save Balian. We'll also need to find out what happened to your second brother."
"Okay, okay, mother, please don't worry. I'll go and make proper arrangements right away!" Shen Xiuyan quickly and softly comforted the anxious Jiang Mianmian, "I'll immediately send someone to his house to inquire clearly.
Check with the servants in the mansion to see if anyone knows where he went today."
After that, Shen Xiuyan immediately added: "Besides, mother, the second son is usually quite smart. He will definitely be able to turn danger into safety and return safely. You can just relax!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xiuyan calmed down the slightly agitated Jiang Mianmian, and then hurried out.
Not long after, when Balian woke up slowly and the others understood the whole story, they immediately mounted their horses and quickly left the city.

Meanwhile, Su Qianqian's cheeks were flushed, and she said to Shen Xiujin in a soft voice, "Shen Xiujin, try this mint tea. It has a pleasant fragrance and is quite good.
But I'm really sorry, I don't have any extra cups for you at home. This...it's actually my exclusive teacup!
But you can rest assured, I have carefully cleaned this cup several times before, it is absolutely spotless..."
No, no, no…
Ahhhh…
I'm not thirsty, I'm not thirsty!
Chen Xiu Jin stared closely at the teacup that Su Qianqian pushed over to him and stood there motionless. He was a mysophobe and didn't want to drink water from other people's cups at all, and he didn't want to get his cup contaminated with the heroine's saliva. Wouldn't this make him feel even more creepy?
"Boom..."
Another loud thunder rang out on the roof, as if if he said he didn't want to drink, the next thunder would probably strike directly into the house and might even strike him.
Oh my god! Help!
Someone come and save him!
Mother, why haven't you come yet?
I don’t know if it was because his signal for help was too strong, his savior really appeared, and someone really knocked hard on the Su family’s door.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
In this weird atmosphere, Shen Xiujin was suddenly startled by a knock on the door.
"Is anyone there?"
Su Qianqian was a little surprised when she heard the knock on the door. Who would come to her house so late at night? People in the village usually knew that she and her grandmother were not at home, so why would they come to her house?
"Well, who is it? He comes to our house in the rain, so annoying. Oh, please stop raining! Otherwise, our house will leak!"
Su Qianqian finished speaking slowly, then turned to look at Shen Xiujin and said, "Shen Xiujin, please sit down for a moment! I'll go out and see who's here."
"Oh, okay, okay! Let's go, shall we?"
After seeing Su Qianqian leave, Shen Xiujin's eyes fell on the cup of mint tea, and he thought: Su Qianqian is out now and not here, should I pour it out myself?
But wouldn’t this be impolite? He doesn’t want to drink, so what should he do?
Shen Xiujin said no, but his body was very honest. His legs walked towards the table without his control, and his fingers were about to reach for the teacup.
At this moment, a steady and powerful set of footsteps gradually approached the house. In an instant, his originally confused thoughts suddenly became clear.
He turned his head suddenly and saw his elder brother walking towards him quickly. He was suddenly extremely excited.
“Brother…”
Woo woo woo…
Shen Xiujin felt like he was about to die of emotion. He had never been so excited when he saw his elder brother again.
However, when his gaze passed over his elder brother's figure and fell on the group of yamen runners following closely behind him, the expression of emotion that had just appeared on his face froze instantly.
He stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief, secretly complaining in his heart: He wanted his family to rescue him, but this was not the way to do it?
Oh my! How humiliating! He felt so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and bury himself deep inside. He was too embarrassed to face anyone again.
Also, will there be rumors about him spreading in the capital tomorrow? When I thought about all kinds of rumors about him spreading in the capital tomorrow, my head was about to explode.
For example, the absurd story of "the second son of the marquis's mansion met a beautiful woman at night, but was reported to the police by the eldest son and taken home" made his head buzz.
Once this title came out, he probably became even more inseparable from Su Qianqian. Don't think he didn't see that those officers were trying hard to suppress their laughter, each of them covering their mouths and grinning with their teeth bared.
In the end, Shen Xiujin had no choice but to say goodbye to Su Qianqian in a hurry, with his head hung, and silently followed his elder brother home.
