Pei Yuan ran back to the yard in a daze.

Along the way, he still had some delusions in his heart. Qiu Lingyan was sent by Bao Ning to scare him. How could Bao Ning leave? Where could she go? She was just unhappy, and she was just throwing a tantrum to scare him. It was not

until he saw the empty and lonely yard that two big words flashed through Pei Yuan's mind - it's over!

It's really over.

Just like Qiu Lingyan said, Bao Ning was cruel this time and didn't want to leave anything for him. The two clusters of bright red flowers under the window were dug up with their roots, leaving only the dug soil. There was a large porcelain tank in the yard with fish in it, and the fish were also taken away. And the lounge chair under the pomegranate tree was gone.

Walking into the house, the table was still the same as it was last night, lying on the floor in a pitiful manner, with broken tea cups scattered all over the floor, no one had picked them up. Half of the bedding had been taken away, Baoning's was pink, his was blue, and now only his own was left. Opening the closet, there were only a few black robes left, and most of Baoning's fancy dresses were gone.

Pei Yuan's heart was in pain, and he was wandering around the house like a wandering soul. Wei Meng stood at the door and looked at him. Seeing his lost soul, even a man who never worried about love affairs felt a little distressed.

In a self-torturing way, Pei Yuan went to rummage through Baoning's dressing table again, hoping that she would play a child's game with him, hide-and-seek.

She hid it, but left some clues for him.

... Pei Yuan didn't find Bao Ning's dressing table at all.

The dressing table was clean and the drawers were all empty, leaving only a brass mirror. She hardened her heart and turned from a cat into a little leopard, not leaving him any thoughts. Pei Yuan guessed that if the mirror on the dressing table was not so difficult to remove, she would have taken it away, right?

Pei Yuan walked around the room with a wooden face, his soles creaking on the broken porcelain pieces, and he was sure that Bao Ning really took away everything that belonged to her.

He felt his whole heart tighten.

The panic in his heart grew a little bit, and the remaining glimmer of hope was gone. Pei Yuan's mind was now full of, Baoning doesn't want me anymore? Does she really not want me anymore? I know I was wrong, I didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't say anything human, but Baoning, are you really, really not going to give me a chance?

Come back, stop making trouble, can you slap me again when you come back?

Otherwise, I'll learn to bark like a dog for you to hear, um, I was wrong, I came back to find you, I kept my promise, I am a dog. Meng Fan is not a dog man, I am, I shouldn't have bullied you and made you cry, I didn't comfort you immediately after bullying you and made you cry, and I turned my face away from you, I am not a human, I deserve to die. I have

such a bad temper, I have no brains, I am nothing but I still want to save face. If I had understood yesterday and immediately went to comfort you, would you not be so angry and not leave?

Where have you been, Baoning?

...

Knowing that Baoning was gone, Pei Yuan was confused at first, without much emotion, and felt that there was a space in his heart, as if he was dreaming. Subconsciously

, he really felt that he was in a dream and was still drunk, but slowly, he searched the house and couldn't find Baoning, and slowly came to his senses, it seemed that this was not a dream. He really got into trouble and lost Baoning.

Regret, loss, confusion.

He has been tough all his life and has experienced many things. He grew up in the military camp and mixed with bandits like Wei Meng. He drank a lot of wine and ate a lot of meat, and he always thought he was a man. Such effeminate and weak words have nothing to do with him.

But now, Pei Yuan is really confused. He thought, if he could go back to last night, he would not have the face to do it. He ran back and held Bao Ning's feet but would not let her go.

He really hurt her heart.

Wei Meng saw Pei Yuan spinning like a top in the room, and his eyes turned red as he spun.

Wei Meng opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him, but his throat was hoarse and he couldn't speak. He wiped his eyes and they were a little wet.

Actually, he thought it was a little funny at first. The heroic young general had also met his match. Look how badly he beat him. But seeing Pei Yuan getting a little crazy, Wei Meng felt bad too.

This empty house, whoever saw it would feel uncomfortable. It was a good little home, but after all the commotion, there was no vitality at all.

Pei Yuan couldn't stop. He felt uncomfortable as soon as he sat down. He stood in front of the dressing table and looked in the mirror. In the mirror, he was disheveled and unshaven. There was no trace of the clean look that Baoning liked. Pei Yuan took a deep breath, rubbed his face with his sleeves, and went back to the head of the bed to pull the curtains. When he opened them, there was nothing inside.

He squatted down and looked under the bed again, trying to find Ah Huang, but he couldn't find him.

Pei Yuan suddenly remembered that there were leeches

. Could Bao Ning have taken the leeches away as well? If she had, wouldn't that mean that she still had me in her heart and was still thinking about my poison?

That would mean that she just had a little temper tantrum and went out to play, and she was still hoping that I would find her quickly. She was waiting for me there.

...The leech jars were neatly placed on the shelf, and Bao Ning didn't even touch them when she packed up in the middle of the night.

Pei Yuan's fingertips were trembling.

It was really over. There was no hope at all. Bao Ning just didn't want him anymore.

"Young general." Wei Meng said in a gruff voice, "Don't wander around, it's useless. It's been more than half a day, I think the person must not have gone far. Let's ask the brothers to look for her, maybe we can find her back."

Pei Yuan finally reacted. He had just lost his mind and forgot to find her first.

What's the point of him crying here? The important thing is to find her back as soon as possible. Then she can beat or scold him as she wants. At most, he will be slapped a few more times. Anyway, he has thick skin and it doesn't hurt.

Pei Yuan ordered himself to calm down and try to sort out his thoughts. After thinking for a moment, he ordered in a deep voice:

"Wei Meng, take the brothers of the Wolf Army to look for him outside the city. There are four city gates and eight side gates, a total of twelve paths. Send thirty people to each path to search along the way. If you can't find him, keep looking. No one is allowed to return early!"

"Leave the task in the city to Qiu Mingshan. He has to cover for the bad things his two daughters do! I won't let go of any corner of this tiny capital city!"

"And send people to guard the Ji family, especially Ji Yan. Find out who delivered the visiting card to the Ji family, where his servants went to buy food, and including correspondence."

"And..." Pei Yuan's eyes swept towards Qiu Lingyan who had been squatting in the corner, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lock her up for me. Before Bao Ning is found, neither of the two sisters is allowed to escape!"

Pei Yuan walked out quickly with his hands behind his back, his voice as cold as ice: "Wei Meng, tell Qiu Mingshan that if Bao Ning is not found within three days, I will kill his daughter first and then burn down his house. If I don't live well, no one else can live well. Let him see if I can do it!"

"Crazy... This little lunatic is really crazy this time..." Wei Meng looked at Pei Yuan's back, sighed heavily, then answered loudly and left.

...

While Pei Yuan was anxiously looking for someone, Bao Ning was staying in the manor peacefully, lying under the grape rack to bask in the sun.

Lihu is not far from the capital, but not close either. It took the carriage half a day to get there. Ji Yan arranged servants here, the house was often cleaned, and clothes and bedding were also complete. Bao Ning took a bath, dried his hair, and half-closed his eyes to listen to Madam Liu chattering beside him.

The huge grape leaves overlapped, blocking the dazzling sunlight. It was cool and refreshing under the green shade, and the cicadas chirped comfortably. Baoning's mood, which had been depressed since last night, also improved.

Madam Liu sighed and said, "The Fourth Prince must have known about it by now. He must be mad with anxiety! Madam, how about we send a message to the Fourth Prince? He should have known that he was wrong. It's normal for the young couple to have a quarrel. They don't really want to make it irreversible, right?"

Baoning opened his eyes and looked at her, and said seriously, "No one is allowed to go out to send a message. If I find out, I will kick everyone out!"

Madam Liu was startled by her tone and nodded repeatedly.

Bao Ning found a sweet date on the small table next to her and put it in her mouth. "Also, from now on, don't mention anything about him. I don't want to hear it."

Aunt Liu glanced at her in surprise. Seeing that Bao Ning didn't look like she was joking, she sighed and agreed.

Bao Ning said, "Go and do your thing. I'll stay by myself for a while."

Aunt Liu bowed and left. After walking two steps, she couldn't help but look back at Bao Ning again. She secretly praised Bao Ning in her heart. Look at Bao Ning's posture. She is no longer the same as before. She is getting more and more like the mistress of the house.

There was no one around, and Bao Ning's straight back slowly relaxed.

She lowered her eyes and stared at her fingers. Pei Yuan's face slowly appeared in front of her again. Bao Ning chewed another date with hatred and forgot about him.

She is not a cruel person. Pei Yuan had done so many disgusting things in the past. She cried so many times, but she still forgave him, treated him well, and coaxed him. Baoning wanted to be a loving couple with Pei Yuan. They understood and tolerated each other's minor shortcomings and corrected them.

But this time, Pei Yuan stepped on her bottom line, and she could not find a reason to tolerate him.

Bastard... Taking a concubine...

Baoning was so angry that her heart trembled when she thought of Pei Yuan's expression when he said these words.

Let him take a concubine. It's good for her to stay here alone. Pei Yuan doesn't have to have her. It's not that she can't live without Pei Yuan!

Baoning stood up and patted the hem of her skirt. She walked out of the shelf. Ah Huang and Ah Mian stopped fighting and followed her. The sun was setting, and their shadows were stretched long. Ah Huang looked majestic and powerful, like a big dog.

Bao Ning turned around and touched the two little heads, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to eat fresh flower cakes?"

Ah Huang and Ah Huang cried softly. Bao Ning dispersed his anger towards Pei Yuan and leaned over to touch the two furry faces.

"You are still the best, much better than him."

Bao Ning ran to the kitchen with her skirt lifted, and winked at them: "There are two pieces that caught up with me first!"

...

Pei Yuan didn't close his eyes for two days.
