Chapter 762 Du Wei Disappears
Since learning about his own background, Du Wei has gone out less frequently.
Every time he goes out, he is followed by guards.
However, one time when he was out, a group of beggars stopped his carriage. The guards went up to drive the beggars away. When they returned to the Du Mansion, they found that the carriage was empty.
The Du family panicked and sent many people to look for him, especially focusing on the place where the beggar appeared, but they found no clues.
A whole night passed, and no one was found. It was as if Du Wei had disappeared into thin air...
Du Yan and the eldest lady did not sleep the whole night.
"Xiaowei is such a grown-up, how could she just disappear out of thin air?" Du Yan's face looked very unhappy.
Xiaowei can't speak and is weak. What if something happens...
The eldest lady's eyes were also full of worry. She promised Xianrou that she would take good care of the child. If anything happened to the child, how would she have the face to see Xianrou?
"Mom, should we go report to the police?" Du Yan asked.
There is really no other way but to report to the police.
It’s just that the government has a lot of cases, and for them, this is just one of many cases, so they may not be able to handle it with all their heart.
Even if the government sends people to look for him, it will take time to find him.
It may not be found yet.
I don't know how much has happened during this period of time, and I don't know how much hurt Xiaowei has suffered...
"Mom, I think this matter is most likely related to that old fellow, Prince Jing!" Du Yan said, "Should we go to Prince Jing's mansion to investigate? If we can find out anything, we'll have evidence when we report it to the authorities, and they'll react faster."
The eldest lady also thought so and could not sit still for a moment. She immediately made a decision: "Yan'er, let's go to Prince Jing's Mansion."
So the mother and daughter immediately got on a carriage and went to Prince Jing's Mansion.
The Prince Jing's Mansion is still the Prince Jing's Mansion from more than ten years ago. It is much more dilapidated, but compared with the Du family, it is still a behemoth.
Du Yan helped the eldest lady get off the carriage and walked to the front of Prince Jing's mansion. He said to the gatekeeper, "Please inform the prince that the Du family wishes to see him."
Du Yan said this and stuffed some silver into the doorman's pocket.
Now, King Jing has been released from the imperial mausoleum, but due to the kindness of the current emperor, King Jing has lost his power.
Therefore, Prince Jing's Mansion was deserted with few guests, and the doorman received no money from people trying to curry favor with him.
Now that he had received the silver, he hurried in to report.
"If the prince refuses to see us, then my mother and I will wait at the gate of the prince's mansion." Mrs. Du added.
"Don't worry, my two nobles. I will definitely convey this message."
While the eldest lady and Du Yan were waiting at the door, they stuffed some silver into another doorman's pocket, hoping to get some information, but the other party knew nothing about it.
The old man King Jing was very careful in his work and didn't reveal any flaws.
After a while, the doorman who had gone to deliver the message came back and told them to come in.
The two were led to the living room and waited for a long time, but King Jing did not come, but a gray-clothed servant did.
"We want to see King Jing. Where is King Jing?" Du Yan asked.
The gray-robed servant had a blank expression on his face, and he stared at people straightly, which looked a bit creepy.
"The prince is ill. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Du Yan frowned. They just wanted to see Prince Jing and ask him directly. She immediately said in a tantrum, "The prince saw my sister that day and she was fine. How could she be sick? Does the prince not want to see us? Does he think that our Du family is too small to be worthy of seeing us? How can the prince look down on us like this?"
Du Yan made a fuss and almost rolled on the ground, but the gray-clothed servant remained expressionless and unmoved.
It seems that they will not be able to see King Jing.
Madam Du asked, "Is my daughter Du Wei in the palace?"
The gray servant shook his head: "Not here."
"If my sister is caught by you, let her go immediately and we will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, we will report to the authorities and they will definitely take action!" Du Yan said.
"Go ahead, young lady." The gray-robed servant said expressionlessly.
"You!" Du Yan was almost mad. "I'm going to sue King Jing!"
"Young lady, do you know what will happen if you falsely accuse a royal relative?" the gray-clothed servant said coldly.
Du Yan's chest heaved violently as she was pulled out of the palace by Madam Du.
"Mother, since we can't find any evidence against King Jing, we can only report Xiaowei to the authorities and ask them to investigate."
"Let's go to the government office," said Mrs. Du.
The mother and daughter had no choice but to report to the authorities.
Xiaowei, please don’t get into trouble!
In Prince Jing's Mansion.
The black-clad servant walked into a courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The black-clad servant walked in, and the gray-haired old man stood with his back to him.
"Your Highness, these are the wife and eldest daughter of the Du family. They have all been sent away," said the servant in black.
"Madam Du and the eldest daughter of the Du family are actually so concerned about that child?" Prince Jing muttered in a low voice, with a hint of curiosity, but his eyes suddenly turned fierce. "But that Du Zhang is such a coward!"
The black-clad servant did not speak. He had been with the prince for decades and naturally understood him. He did not need his answer.
"As for the small Du family, I have to find a way to deal with it." King Jing said.
He was released because of the emperor's sympathy. He didn't have much power. If it were more than ten years ago, getting rid of the Du family would have been a matter of just a word from him!
"If anyone touches Xianrou, I will make him live a life worse than death!" King Jing's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Xianrou is the baby he raised with great care, and anyone who touches her deserves to die!
The first person who had touched Xianrou, he brushed off pieces of flesh from his body.
Du Zhang also made Xianrou give birth to a daughter. How should he deal with him?
King Jing closed his eyes and pondered for a while, imagining Du Zhang's fate, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Thinking of his delicate daughter again, he felt itchy and suddenly stood up, left the yard and walked to another yard.
The gate to the courtyard was locked and the servant opened it.
King Jing walked into the yard alone and entered one of the bedrooms.
There was an iron cage in the room, and a person was lying in it, as if he was asleep.
The girl's face was extremely delicate, and there was not a single flaw on her beautiful face.
King Jing stared at her with an infatuated look on his face.
"Delicate..."
The girl's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she suddenly widened her eyes and wanted to step back.
However, she had a headache and no strength in her body, so she just fell to the ground.
Du Wei looked at the room. It was hung with red silk, like a bridal chamber, and with the cage inside, it looked particularly strange.
Last night, she was sitting in the carriage on her way back home when her nose was suddenly covered. A strange smell entered her nostrils, and then she lost consciousness...
Du Wei realized what had happened. It was King Jing who had captured him. What was he going to do to him?
The eldest lady said that he was against Mom and Dad being together. Now that Mom and Dad are gone, and Mom is his adopted daughter after all, why would he treat her like this?!
There was something wrong with the way King Jing looked at her. He didn't have the affection that an elder has for a younger person. Instead, his eyes were sticky and made her very uncomfortable.
She vaguely felt that there might be other hidden secrets to what happened back then, which the eldest lady hadn't told her...
"Xianrou..." King Jing called again.
The fear in her eyes, like a little white rabbit, is so delicate.
King Jing stretched out his hand towards her...
Du Wei suddenly raised his head and glared at King Jing fiercely.
King Jing was awakened by this glare and withdrew his hand. This child only looks similar, but is not Xianrou. Xianrou would not show such an expression.
However, he will slowly tame her into a gentle person.
King Jing raised a strange smile and stared at her for a while before leaving the room.
