Chapter 197 Ming'an Marquis Mansion
Su Nuobai was a little surprised: "How did you lose it?"
"They said the child disappeared from his room at night. We asked the maids and servants, but they didn't see anyone entering or leaving the room."
"I thought the child was mischievous and had hidden somewhere, but I searched high and low in the house and couldn't find him."
"That's when I started to get anxious. I reported it to the government office early this morning. Her daughter had heard of you, and that's how she found out about me."
"I didn't agree. I wanted to ask your opinion first." After saying this, Nanny Wei stood aside.
"Let's go and take a look. How can a mother not be anxious when her child is lost?" Su Nuobai asked Nanny Wei to lead the way.
Nanny Wei brought her to the Marquis of Ming'an's mansion, knocked on the door and explained their purpose.
The doorman asked the two to wait for a moment and went to inform the master inside.
Su Nuobai looked at the fortune of the Marquis Ming'an's Mansion. Although it was not entangled with black silk, it was already in a state of decline.
I'm afraid it's just smooth on the surface, but empty inside.
Feng Zhi hasn't come back yet, but Mo Bao came with her.
After a while, the doorman opened the door and led the two into the hall.
A woman in her early twenties was sitting in the hall with her eyes red from crying, but she was still trying to stay there and wait for them.
Su Nuobai looked at her face and found that she had prominent earlobes, a wealthy family, a full forehead, and prominent horns. She must have received a good education since childhood.
However, the husband's position in the Palace of Marriage is not so ideal, and he may even be a cold and indifferent person.
"Meet the wife of Marquis Ming'an."
The wife of Marquis Ming'an looked at the personal nanny beside her. This nanny was her wet nurse and was also good friends with Nanny Wei.
She nodded towards the wife of Marquis Ming'an and said, "Miss, this is Lord Su from the Gui Department."
Lady Ming'an had some impression of her, as if she had seen her at a previous palace banquet. "Lord Su, please help me find my child."
"I wonder where the Marquis is now?"
Lady Ming'an didn't know why she asked that, but she answered truthfully: "He took people out to look for the child."
"Then please ask Madam Ming'an to invite him back!" Su Nuobai said lightly.
"Why?" Lady Ming'an Marquis asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"He's back, and you'll know the answer." Su Nuobai didn't intend to explain now.
The wife of Marquis Ming'an could only ask the nanny beside her to go and find the marquis.
Su Nuobai looked at the furnishings in the flower hall, which were a mixture of real and fake, and some were deliberately made to look old.
"Madam Ming'an, please find me something the child often uses."
The wife of Marquis Ming'an took out a small handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to her: "I made this for her. She likes this handkerchief the most on weekdays."
Su Nuobai took out a folded small paper crane from her bag, pinched her fingers to light the handkerchief in her hand, drew out a wisp of cigarette from it, and injected it into the paper crane.
"Madame Wei, please go to Jingzhao Yin for me and give this to Lord Wei. He knows what to do." After saying that, he handed the paper crane in his hand to Madame Wei.
"I'll go right away." Nanny Wei took the paper crane and went to Jingzhao Yin.
The little maid served tea to the two of them and then went outside. For a while, no one spoke in the hall.
"The wife of Marquis Ming'an must have a good family background!"
Lady Ming'an Hou was worried, but seeing her like that, she didn't dare to ask too many questions. Now, after listening to what she said, she just agreed with her words.
"Compared to the noble ladies in Shengjing City, I'm not that good, but my family has some inheritance from our ancestors, so I'm doing OK."
"How does it compare to the Marquis of Ming'an's Mansion?" Su Nuobai smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Of course, this is incomparable. It was my grandfather who accidentally saved the old Marquis' life that arranged the marriage between me and the Marquis."
"I've only been in Shengjing City for five years, but I can't compare to the aristocratic families in Shengjing City."
The wife of Marquis Ming'an did not lie.
"Most of these aristocratic families look glamorous on the surface, but we don't know what they are like inside." Su Nuobai's words contained a lot of information.
The wife of Marquis Ming'an frowned slightly, not quite understanding the meaning of these words, but she always felt that there was something else behind Lord Su's words.
The atmosphere became weird again.
At this time, a young man walked in from outside: "Madam, why did you call me back in such a hurry?"
Su Nuobai looked at his face and found that his whole face was angular, but that didn't mean that he had a good face, quite the opposite.
He has a thin chin, a thin middle peak, and a sunken nose, which indicates that he will fail in his career and harm his wife.
"Since you are back, why don't you sit down and listen to me."
Marquis Ming'an now has no substantive official position other than his title, and is even worse than Su Nuobai.
However, there were many rumors about Su Nuobai in Shengjing City: "Master Su? Why are you here?"
"Of course, it's to help the Marquis find the child." Su Nuobai had a faint smile on his face.
"This is a matter of my mansion, so I won't bother Lord Su." Marquis Ming'an was ready to drive him away.
Su Nuobai sat still and said, "Are you not bothering me, or are you afraid that I might say something?"
"What a joke! I'm a decent person, how could I be afraid of what you might say?"
When Marquis Ming'an finished saying this, he was actually already feeling nervous. Someone would soon deliver a letter of ransom. If she stayed here, something bad might happen.
"My Lord." Lady Ming'an was puzzled as to why her husband had such an attitude.
"Mobao, go get the letter from under the stone lion on the left side of the gate." Su Nuobai instructed Mobao who was standing beside him.
Mo Bao nodded and ran to get the letter.
"What letter?" Lady Ming'an Marquis asked anxiously.
"Of course it's a ransom note from the kidnappers. I don't think the Marquisate can afford the amount they're asking for. They might have to use Madam's dowry."
Su Nuobai said as he looked at Marquis Ming'an.
"I will give them whatever they want as long as my child comes back safely." Lady Ming'an was extremely anxious.
She was afraid that if she agreed too late, her child would not come back.
After five years of marriage, she only gave birth to this one daughter. If she lost the child, she didn't know what to do.
"You gave it to me the first time, and there will be a second time and a third time." Su Nuobai looked at her with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Lady Ming'an was a little confused.
At this time, Mo Bao took the letter and handed it to Su Nuobai.
Su Nuobai handed it to the wife of Marquis Ming'an without even looking at it.
The wife of Marquis Ming'an immediately opened the letter and checked the amount on it. The Marquis's mansion could not afford it at all.
She had been married for five years and had long known that the Marquis's Mansion was gorgeous on the outside but deeply in debt on the inside.
If she hadn't used her dowry to supplement her income, how could she have lived such a stable life now?
But the Marquis was a man who cared about face, and he always cared about the pomp and circumstance when he went out to dinner or banquets. She said that after a few times, he didn't even come to her room.
Otherwise, how could he have only one daughter?
