“Hiss—”
The moment Chang Feng climbed over the courtyard wall holding Su Ningwen and landed on the ground, he was bitten by the surrounding ants.
Seeing that there were more and more ants, he quickly took out the fire starter from his waist and drove away most of the ants.
Then he held Su Ningwen in his arms, stepped on the courtyard wall, flew onto the roof, and used his lightness skills to leap over the roofs.
"Stop! Put the child down!"
Su Xingyi chased the army of ants to the back alley of Cui's mansion. Seeing Su Ningwen in Chang Feng's arms with his eyes closed, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He became anxious and went straight to the roof to chase after him.
"Dad!" Su Ning'an looked at the two people on the roof anxiously and could only chase them on the ground.
"Dad! Catch up the bad guy, kick him down, and let me beat him up!"
"Anger, come up quickly!"
Meng Zilu rushed over in a carriage, and Su Ningan took a running start and jumped onto the speeding carriage.
Meng Zilu stood at the front of the car and noticed that Su Ningwen was barefoot without socks. His heart was in his throat, fearing that the man would not be able to hold Wen Ge'er and would drop him off.
He urged the driver to speed up all the way and was ready to pick up Su Ningwen at any time.
"Dad, don't worry, my fourth brother will be fine." Meng Yunqian was very nervous at this time. How could someone steal his fourth brother?
My fourth brother is so timid, he must be scared this time!
Meng Zihe looked at Meng Zilu's expression and frowned slightly. His elder brother was overly concerned about the third young master of the Su family.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the closed door of Cui's mansion in surprise. It turned out that it was the Cui family who persecuted Wen Ge'er.
The third branch of the Cui family? The Song family? The young lady of the Meng family had a difficult birth on her way to pray?
Luo Minghao wants to lead Meng Yunqian astray and ruin the reputation of the Meng family?
When these things are connected together, a bold idea emerges.
"careful!"
Seven or eight large bamboo balls emitting smoke and sparks were thrown out from Cui's mansion and landed outside the gate of Cui's mansion.
The dense swarm of ants in front of the door quickly dispersed.
With a creaky sound, the vermilion lacquered door of Cui Mansion opened from the inside.
"What a big tone! You actually threatened to destroy my Cui Mansion!"
The noise came before the people arrived, and the violent sound scared away some of the people who were watching the fun.
Soon, more than 30 guards of the Cui family, holding torches, escorted Cui Zhehan out of the mansion.
Cui Zhehan glanced at the people in front of the door. They were only members of the Lu and Si families.
Where are the Meng family?
"Si Chuyu, Si Chujin, you two are the ones threatening to destroy my Cui family? What a boast!"
"Hahaha..." Si Chujin laughed strangely a few times, "Master Cui, you are really wronging us two brothers. How dare our Si family be so arrogant as to oppose your family? We are just angry and have a bad temper."
Si Chuyu echoed, "Master Cui, last night our distinguished guest, the Su family, lost their child. This morning, we've searched all over Huayang County to no avail, so we decided to use ants to follow their scent. We've followed the ants all the way here, and we're truly sorry to ask for your permission to follow the ants into the search."
"How dare you!" Cui Zhehan scolded, "How can you search my Cui Mansion as you please? The idea of ants smelling their scent to find someone is completely absurd. You must leave immediately. If you offend my old lady, you will lose your lives!"
Si Chujin laughed jokingly, "Master Cui, look at how the ants are fighting over you, surrounding your Cui Mansion instead of the neighboring mansion. This proves that the ants' method of scenting people is reliable. You stopped us from entering. Do you have something to hide? Could it be that our lost child is in your mansion?"
Cui Zhehan gritted his teeth in anger: "Nonsense! This is nonsense. I advise you to leave immediately!"
"What are you all doing here? Spread out!"
At this time, Luo Xian came over with a group of officers and soldiers holding torches.
The army of ants surrounding the front gate of Cui's mansion dispersed to the left and right as if they had discussed it beforehand.
Seeing this, Luo Xian shouted angrily, "How dare you play tricks here and disturb the people! Capture them!"
A group of officers and soldiers surrounded Si Chuyu and others, and the atmosphere was tense.
"Madam, the veil is here."
Xiao Lingyu quickly took the veil from Su Ying's hand and put it on his head. He held Xiao Xier in one hand and held Su Ningjie's hand while getting out of the carriage.
"Luo Xian, you have such great authority!"
Meng Gaoyu hurried over with a group of yamen runners. He took a look at the ants all over the ground and his eyelids trembled.
He pretended to be calm as he walked up to Xiao Lingyu, her mother, and her two children, and said to Luo Xian, "You are the patrol commander responsible for protecting the safety of the people of this county. How can you be so arbitrary and use force against the people before you have investigated the matter thoroughly?!"
Luo Xian said in a deep voice, "They've been playing tricks today, attracting so many ants. This has already affected the safety of the people in the city. As the patrol commander, I should arrest them!"
Meng Gaoyu: "Have these ants harmed anyone today?"
"Sir Meng, the ants didn't hurt anyone, but we stepped on a lot of them to death." A commoner in the crowd said loudly.
"Yes! They are very well behaved. They went straight to Cui's house and refused to leave."
"Yes! Sir, we heard that all these ants are looking for a child, so we followed them out of curiosity. There are so many mansions where these ants don't go, but they chose to stay at Cui's mansion. I guess their lost child must be there!"
"Yes! Please, sir, please help find the child!"
Xiao Lingyu turned around and lifted a corner of her veil to see that the people who were talking were actually people arranged by the Si family.
Cui Zhehan listened to the people's words, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. These ignorant and untouchable people!
"Master Luo, you heard me, right? These ants didn't hurt anyone at all, so there's no question of them disturbing the people and affecting their safety!"
