Jiang Caiping looked at her eldest son with heartache, "Jinian, mother will help you, as long as you know how to turn back."

However, Su Jingnian just shook his head, "No need, mother."

His voice became hoarse and heavy, "My heart is dead."

At this moment, the yard was silent, as if even the air had frozen. Jiang Caiping closed her eyes helplessly, her heart filled with bitterness.

"Jinian, no, you still have us," she said softly, "no matter what happens, we are a family."

Su Chengjiang also nodded in agreement, "Yes, brother, no matter what, we will be by your side."

However, Su Jingnian looked at everything in front of him indifferently, as if he was not involved.

"Do you really understand me?" he murmured to himself, "or never, mother doesn't know what I want."

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the yard. It was the housekeeper of the mansion who hurried over with a hurried look!

"Madam, something bad has happened. Several yamen runners are outside the door, saying they want to see the second young master and the eldest young lady!" the housekeeper reported.

Everyone was shocked, and Jiang Caiping's face changed, "Why? What are they doing here?"

"I heard it's because..." The butler hesitated, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" Jiang Caiping asked anxiously.

"I heard it was because Miss Su Zhiyao disappeared."

The butler whispered, "The government officials are here to investigate."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and the entire yard instantly fell into deathly silence!

Su Jinyue had vaguely anticipated this, but her expression remained slightly tense after hearing it.

At this moment, Su Jingnian's expression suddenly became excited, "What did you say?! Yao'er is missing? How could Yao'er be missing! "

He tried to break free from the servant's grasp, "I'm going to find her!"

"Jinian, no!" Jiang Caiping immediately stepped forward to stop him, "You'll only make things worse!"

"Let me go!" Su Jingnian roared, but was still held down tightly.

Su Chengjiang also realized the seriousness of the situation and turned to Su Jinyue and said, "What should we do?"

Su Jinyue thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see those yamen runners and find out what happened."

She instructed Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, ask the kitchen to prepare some sedative soup and give it to him."

Xiaotao immediately took the order and left.

Su Jinyue turned around and walked out of the yard, ready to face the yamen runners.

Just as she was about to step out of the door, Su Chengjiang suddenly shouted, "I'll go with you! After all, today... I'm going to the manor with you."

Su Jinyue nodded slightly, and the two of them brought the servants to the gate of the mansion.

It was already dark outside, but the officers and soldiers in the government office were still holding torches.

When he saw Su Jinyue and Su Chengjiang, he immediately smiled and said, "Meet Miss Su and Master Su."

Su Jinyue got straight to the point and said, "I heard that Su Zhiyao is missing. She disappeared in the Su Mansion's farm. Why didn't we receive any news?"

"It was the people at the manor who first reported to our officials that the eldest lady and the second young master had gone to the manor today, so we wanted to come and ask about it."

"Yes." Su Jinyue nodded, "My brother and I only went to see her once, gave her some food and daily necessities, and left soon."

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "When we left, the housekeeper of the manor was also there, she can testify for us."

Seeing that what Su Jinyue said was absolutely correct, the officers and soldiers did not want to embarrass them, "Indeed, it seems that this is a misunderstanding. Sorry to bother Miss Su."

"Yes." Su Jinyue said, "After all, she is the adopted daughter of our mansion. If you have any news, can you send someone to the mansion to report it?"

The leading bailiff immediately bowed to Su Jinyue, "Of course, of course!"

After they left, Su Jinyue and Su Chengjiang were called to Jiang Caiping's yard.

After explaining what happened, Jiang Caiping was also a little angry, "You dragged your sister to the farm to see Su Zhiyao without permission! You are getting more and more daring!"

Su Chengjiang knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, mother, I know I was wrong."

Jiang Caiping sighed, feeling helpless.

But faced with such a situation, he could only suppress his anger temporarily and said with a tired look: "The most important thing right now is to find Su Zhiyao. If something really happens to her, we and the Xie family will not be able to explain it!"

"Mother, I think it was Su Zhiyao who sneaked out this time. Maybe we can find clues if we go back to the table."

Su Chengjiang subconsciously raised his head and refuted Su Jinyue, "Su Zhiyao will not run away..."

Su Jinyue ignored him and continued to say to Jiang Caiping, "Su Zhiyao probably didn't have much with her when she escaped. Mother can have someone search around the manor and she will probably be found."

"Well, you're right." Jiang Caiping agreed with Su Jinyue's words, "I'll send more people to bring her back!"

The next morning, everyone in the Marquis's Mansion was busy with Su Zhiyao's disappearance.

Just as Su Jinyue expected, the people in charge of the search found Su Zhiyao in a forest near the village.

She was pale and looked a little frightened, but she was fine.

Su Chengjiang and Su Jinyue rushed over after hearing the news. He quickly helped Su Zhiyao up and said, "Zhiyao, are you okay?"

When Su Zhiyao saw Su Chengjiang, tears welled up in her eyes, "Second brother, I'm so scared..."

Su Chengjiang's heart softened, and he helped her up, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay."

Su Zhiyao still played the role of a weak person. When she looked around, her eyes fell on Su Jinyue intentionally or unintentionally.

"Sister, thank you for coming to save me." She forced a smile.

Su Jinyue nodded calmly, "I'll tell you in detail when we get back home."

Then, everyone escorted Su Zhiyao back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Along the way, Su Chengjiang instructed the servants to look after her carefully, fearing that she might be hurt again.

"Second brother, you are indeed the best to me." Su Zhiyao said softly in the carriage.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, although Jiang Caiping said that she didn't feel sorry, she still went to Su Zhiyao's yard immediately.

"How did you get yourself into this state? Didn't I tell you to stay at the farm and your mother would come to pick you up after a while?"

Su Zhiyao lowered her head, looking very ashamed, "I'm sorry for making mother worry."

She raised her head, tears filling her eyes. "Mother, after seeing my brother yesterday, I know I shouldn't ask for anything."

"But I really miss you..." Su Zhiyao threw herself into Jiang Caiping's arms, crying, "Mom! I want to go back to you..."

This pitiful look made Su Chengjiang's eyes red. He turned around and wanted to talk to Su Jinyue, but found that her expression was cold, so he swallowed the words that were about to come to his lips.

He could only find another excuse to talk to Su Jinyue, "Sister, since everything is fine, let's go back first."
