Chapter 320: Sister, what are you looking at?
"You slave, can't you see the situation clearly? It's either you or they die!"
After saying that, the old woman suddenly pulled out Lin Ge'er and pinched his chin tightly, frightening Shen Ma Ma so much that she kept saying, "Stop, stop! I'll listen to you!"
The old woman's expression finally softened: "You're quite sensible."

On the other side, after a few days, the birds and beasts finally got news.
However, Ruan Mian frowned slightly when he looked at the messages brought to him by the birds and beasts.
At that time, Ajie and Cuizhu had just made medicine for their sister-in-law. Ever since Ruiger disappeared, her sister-in-law and others had been looking for him in the village all the time, while her brother and a group of men in the village were conducting a carpet search around the village.
My sister-in-law was so worried that she couldn't help herself and fell down.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Ruan Qing noticed that her eyes looked a little strange, and followed her gaze to the birds circling in the sky.
But she didn't know the purpose of those birds and beasts coming here, she only cared about Ruan Mian's situation.
Ruan Mian came back to her senses: "Sister, I'm going to Wuheng City. You don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight."
Without waiting for her sister to ask, Ruan Mian had already headed towards the stable.
Ruan Qing reminded her a few times behind her back without thinking much about it.
After all, Ruan Mian is often busy in Wuheng City now, and he cannot interfere with many of her affairs.
Maybe she was in a hurry to go there because she had some clues about the children, but because the matter was not clear, she did not explain it clearly.
However, Ruan Mian was gone for the entire night and there was no sign of him until the next day.
Chen had a high fever again, and Ruan Qing wanted to go and ask for her help, but found that A'mei had not come back the whole night.
His brows furrowed immediately. "Didn't my sister come home last night? Where's Yun Xiu? Hurry up and ask Yun Xiu to the prefect."
Cuizhu was thinking about asking Yunxiu to go to Wuheng City to investigate, and she didn't dare to waste even a moment.
Zhang and the others also learned that Ruan Mian had been missing since he left yesterday. They felt like they had lost their backbone and were very nervous.
"Qing'er, didn't your sister tell you yesterday what she was doing in Wuheng City? Did she meet anyone?"
After seeing Ruan Qing shaking his head, Zhang's face was filled with worry. She had not yet come to terms with all the recent events, and now her daughter was in trouble again.
No matter how calm she was, she couldn't calm down at this moment: "Go and call your brother back, we need to discuss a countermeasure. Mianmian is not the kind of person who doesn't give news. At this critical juncture, she hasn't returned home all night, which is really worrying."
Later, Yun Xiu brought news from the prefect. He asked almost everyone he could in Wuheng City, but no one had seen Ruan Mian, so naturally there was no way to find her whereabouts.
Now Zhang could no longer sit still.
"She clearly said she went to Wuheng City yesterday, but the officers on duty at the city gate haven't seen her. Mianmian must not have entered the city! Did something happen?"
"Mother, let's not be anxious. The more this happens, the calmer we should be."
Ruan Qing held Zhang's hand tightly to comfort her. Although she was anxious at the moment, she did not forget what her sister had taught her.
No matter what happens, you must face it calmly.
So she still had to talk to her husband about this matter.
"Mother, I'm going to the military camp right now. My husband has a lot of people there, so I'm sure we can..."
However, before she could finish her words, Chen suddenly stumbled out of the room and knelt down in front of Zhang: "Mother-in-law, is there something wrong with Mianmian?"
Zhang and the others opened their mouths, but before they could explain the whole story, Chen couldn't hold back her emotions and burst into tears.
"Did you get into danger because you went to look for Rui Ge'er?"
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry to Mianmian! I also didn't take good care of the child!"
Zhang and her elder sister hurried over: "Wei'er, what are you talking about? How can I blame you?"
Ruan Qingsong happened to come in and saw this scene, and quickly stepped forward to protect her.
When Chen saw him, she felt so miserable that she had no place to vent.
"A Song, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the child. It's all my fault! It's all..."
Ruan Qingsong held her in his arms with a look of heartache on his face, his furrowed brows full of pity.
"It's not your fault. It has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself."
However, at this moment, Cuizhu suddenly saw a figure walking towards them and exclaimed in surprise!
"girl!!"
"The girl is back!" Everyone present looked over and saw Ruan Mian riding a horse to the front of the house.
Seeing her family gathered together and her sister-in-law still looking haggard, she immediately became puzzled: "Mother, what happened again?"
"Mianmian! Mianmian, where did you go last night? We couldn't find you the whole night and thought...we thought you had met with an accident!"
Zhang ran over in fear and looked at her carefully.
But before Ruan Mian could tell them, a group of police officers came in an orderly manner not far away, and the movement of so many people attracted a lot of attention.
This is the first time that so many officials have come, and judging from their posture, it is obvious that something big has happened.
The villagers along the way followed behind, instinctively thinking it was related to the recent disappearance of children.
The officers rushed straight to Ruan Mian's house. As soon as they entered, before Zhang and the others had time to ask any questions, the leading officer looked at Ruan Mian with a serious face.
"Madam Ruan, the government wants to see you. You have to come with us."
"Sir! What have I done wrong? Why do you want me to go to the government office?"
Considering her good relationship with the prefect in the past, the officials were quite polite to Ruan Mian and her family as well.
"Auntie, someone provided clues about a missing child today. It's related to Madam Ruan, so we need her to go to the government office with us."
"What?" Zhang's face suddenly changed, and she immediately stood in front of Ruan Mian and said.
"How could the missing child be related to my daughter? Our child is missing too! Who on earth is in the government office..."
"Let Madam Ruan go with us and we'll find out."
The officer didn't give her a chance to refute, interrupted her and sent someone to "invite" Ruan Mian.
Ruan Mian looked calm as he walked forward to comfort Zhang, saying, "Mother, I'll go see what happened."
An hour ago, bursts of crying were heard outside the yamen. People came over after hearing the news, and immediately a lot of people gathered at the door.
I saw an old woman kneeling outside the yamen, and outside was the "corpse" of a child, with a blue face and motionless, looking very creepy.
The people who had gathered around stepped back a few steps, fearing that the wronged spirit would rush towards them. The old woman knelt in front of the door and started to cry out.
"Please, sir, make the decision for the people!!"
"Sir! You are the people's father and mother. You must not wrongly accuse anyone who has lost all conscience and disregards the law!"
