Chapter 261: Sob, so scared The man
pulling the cart was already nervous and guilty. When the soldier guarding the city gate shouted, he instinctively left the cart and wanted to run away! He ran away like this, because his original suspicions could be proven now, otherwise why would he run?
"Stop!"
The soldier rushed up immediately, and the others also surrounded him, chasing people and unloading the vats. As
soon as the lid was opened, the person curled up inside was revealed. It was a young lady with a blocked mouth, tied hands and feet, and well-dressed! The
person in the vat cried excitedly when she saw them, her eyes were terrified and uneasy, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes!
Sob! She was scared to death!
The person was brought out, the rope was untied, and the cloth gagged in her mouth was also taken off -
"I am the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion! Originally, I was attending a banquet at the Princess' Mansion today, but someone came to tell me that the Princess wanted to see me, so I followed a maid. I didn't expect that I felt dizzy soon after I sat down in the room, and then I lost consciousness! When I regained consciousness, I found that I was tied up!"
Xu Muhua said crying.
After hearing her words, several soldiers looked at each other, and a sentence flashed through their minds at the same time: I'm afraid this matter can't be easily resolved!
Not only is it related to the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, but it also involves the Princess who just returned to Beijing not long ago!
The person who planned this matter is too bold, right? Who on earth is so bold as to offend two powerful people at once!
Is he tired of living?
The soldiers did not dare to delay and hurried to inform their superiors.
Meanwhile, at the Princess's Mansion, Wu'er was puzzled because she had not seen her young lady for a long time. After much difficulty, she found Pei Shaorong and others, and immediately went up to them and asked, "Ladies, have you seen my young lady?"
Pei Shaorong saw that it was Wu'er and said, "Just now a maid came over and said that the Princess wanted to see Mu Hua, so Mu Hua went with the maid." Wu'er
was surprised to hear this and said, "But I just came over and saw the Princess talking to several ladies there! I didn't see my young lady there!"
Before, when Xu Muhua was accompanying the Princess, she asked Wu'er to follow Xu's mother. Later, when Xu's mother saw that she was no longer following the princess, she asked Wu'er to return to her side.
When she and Pei Shaorong were chatting on the side, their maids were all sent away.
Wu'er saw that her young lady was talking happily with other young ladies, and it was boring for her to stay, so she found a place to sit down, ready to wait for the young lady to finish talking before going to find the young lady.
But who knew that when she came out, she didn't see the young lady! She looked around again but still didn't see her!
Pei Shaorong and the others were stunned for a moment, and Pei Shaorong asked: "Mu Hua is not with the princess?"
"No!"
"But didn't the maid just say that the princess wanted to see Mu Hua? Or did Mu Hua leave after seeing the princess?"
Just as she said that, Xu's mother and Mrs. Pei walked over together.
Now the banquet is almost over, and they think it's time to leave. So they both came to find their daughter.
"Hey, where's Mu Hua? Miss Pei, Mu Hua isn't with you?"
Mother Xu was puzzled when she didn't see her daughter.
Wu'er was worried and told Mother Xu about the situation immediately.
Mother Xu's heart skipped a beat when she heard it. She said without much hesitation, "I'll go ask the nanny next to the princess first."
Mu Hua is not such a clueless person. It's impossible for her to run away alone without any explanation, unless something really happened!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but speed up her pace and hurriedly walked towards the location of the princess.
Pei Shaorong and the others also became worried and followed closely.
Mother Xu didn't ask the princess directly, but found Nanny Qi.
Madam Qi had just finished investigating the incident of Pei Zhen falling from the rockery and was about to report the result to the princess, but was stopped by Xu's mother halfway.
After hearing what Xu's mother said, Madam Qi frowned at first, but then relaxed immediately. She looked at Xu's mother and comforted her, "Madam Xu, don't worry. I'll go ask His Highness. Maybe His Highness really has something that Miss Xu can help with." Xu's
mother forced a smile, "Thank you."
But her hands were unconsciously entangled, and her heart couldn't help but sink.
What could the princess need Mu Hua to help with? It was clearly...
Madam Qi also realized something in her heart, and her words to Xu's mother were just comforting.
She is the mistress of the Chengguo Mansion. If the situation is not urgent, she would not have come up to question.
Nanny Qi walked to the side of the eldest princess and whispered a few words in her ear.
The people around did not hear what Nanny Qi said, but saw that the eldest princess's face suddenly became gloomy, and a flash of anger quickly flashed in her eyes.
The eldest princess did not leave immediately. Instead, she talked and laughed with everyone as if nothing had happened for a while before letting the maid help her leave, leaving Nanny Qi to maintain order.
"Madam Xu, I must admit that I did not ask anyone to look for Mu Hua."
When Xu's mother heard this, her body immediately shook.
So Mu Hua really got into trouble!
Seeing this, the princess said hurriedly: "Madam Xu, don't panic. Since the person is missing in the mansion, I will definitely find Mu Hua for you! And then I will give you justice!"
Xu's mother quickly calmed down and bowed to the princess, "Your Highness, please send someone to search thoroughly immediately and make sure to find Mu Hua!"
"Of course, don't worry, this happened in the princess's mansion, I will definitely find the person who made trouble, otherwise I will have no face, isn't it that everyone treats the princess's mansion as a place where they can come and go freely and do whatever they want?"
The princess was also rarely angry.
She hadn't been back to the capital for many years. It was rare for her to come back and hold a flower viewing banquet, but things happened one after another! Did those people take her, the princess, seriously?
The princess actually had some suspicions in her heart.
If someone dared to cause trouble in the princess's mansion, he must be someone of high status, otherwise he wouldn't have the guts. Either this person was extremely powerful in the capital, so powerful that he didn't even take her seriously, or... it was done by one of their own family members!
The princess preferred the latter, but she couldn't figure out who in her mansion was so bold as to kidnap someone right under her nose. After thinking about it, there was no doubt about the candidate.
But the princess immediately gave the order.
She thought she could find out quickly, but she didn't expect the result to be a little beyond her expectations. The website that
