Chapter 466: Mi Family Panic
"Also, you should be more careful and quickly pack up your personal property and count it. Then slowly move it out of the house and hide it properly."
All four of them were shocked, "Mom, this——"
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were heavy: "It never hurts to prepare early."
"Yes, mother!"
"Yes, that's what Mom said!"
The four people were all flustered by what Old Lady Zhou said. They left the Heyuan Garden in silence and hurried back in a panic, thinking about what to pack up and what to take away. They looked like dogs that had lost their homes.
Zhou Hansheng didn't come back until after dark.
Stepping into the courtyard, Zhou Hansheng felt warm in his heart as he saw the dim yellow light shining through the window lattices. His stern face softened involuntarily, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He strode into the house.
"My wife!"
Zhao Liya was chatting and laughing with Chunfen, Chunxia and the others. Upon hearing this, she looked up and smiled at him, "You're back!"
Zhou Hansheng smiled and walked over to her, holding her hand. "How is it? Are you okay?"
It wasn’t good then, but of course it’s fine now.
Zhao Liya smiled and nodded: "It's over!"
"Well, it's over!"
Only the poor girl Chunfen, who had finally forgotten some of the things she had forgotten, saw the prince, and all the memories of Lihua Pavilion came flooding back to her. The little girl's face turned pale on the spot.
Zhao Liya was at a loss for words and could only tell her to go down and rest. The little girl ran away.
Chunxia was nearby, and Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng didn't discuss the matter much. Seeing that Zhao Liya didn't show any fear or panic, Zhou Hansheng felt relieved and started chatting with her about other things.
With the holiday just around the corner, the two were in high spirits.
After returning from Beiyuan, the Mi family was still excitedly discussing today's grand event, filled with pride and pride: How could the Mi family have been qualified to participate in such a grand royal event before? Thanks to the Imperial Concubine and the First Prince, the family's good fortune is yet to come!
It’s really exciting just thinking about it.
Because everyone was quite tired after a whole day of sightseeing, they did not gather together after returning home. They returned to their own courtyards and went to bed early after dinner.
Mrs. Mi waited and waited for her husband to come back, and she was very dissatisfied. She had to eat dinner by herself, coax the child to sleep, told the maid to leave the door open, and went to bed herself.
Before going to bed, she couldn't help cursing the vixen who had seduced her husband away. She also complained bitterly that the young master was unreasonable. How could he not go home after just coming out of Beiyuan? He couldn't wait to go out and fool around.
Mrs. Mi didn't expect that her husband would not come back until late at night.
Instead, it was my parents-in-law who sent someone to look for me and asked me to go over there immediately.
Mrs. Mi woke up from her dream with a start. Thinking that her husband had not returned home in the middle of the night, she felt a little panicked for some reason. She did not bother to blame her parents-in-law for calling someone in the middle of the night. She hurriedly handed over her clothes and went over.
As soon as Mrs. Mi saw her, she asked without waiting for her to speak: "I'm asking you, is the young master not back yet?"
Mrs. Mi was becoming increasingly alarmed and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, my husband hasn't come back. Maybe, maybe he went to a party with some friends."
"Did you see him today in Beiyuan?"
Madam Mi shook her head. "No, my daughter-in-law, my younger brother's wife, and the young ladies of several other families have been staying together, just watching the fun by the Hibiscus Pond. Naturally, they haven't seen my husband."
There are separate areas for men and women to watch dragon boat races in Beiyuan.
Mrs. Mi's face changed, and she angrily scolded, "You are so stupid! He just came out of Beiyuan today and it's already unknown what time it is. How could he still be meeting up with some friends? Can any friend be so important? He hasn't come back yet, and you are so careless as to rest on your own? Why didn't you come and report to us?"
Mrs. Mi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she almost suffocated. She covered her chest and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, has my husband, he, has he had any trouble?"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Mi glared at her and scolded: "Pooh, pooh, pooh! What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you just hope that he gets better?"
"Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law was wrong. My husband will be fine."
"Okay, stop arguing. Wait a minute. We've already sent people out to look for him, and we'll have news soon. Old family, think carefully about where he likes to go on a daily basis. See if there are any loopholes, and then send more people out to look for him."
“Yes, yes.”
Mrs. Mi gathered herself together, forced herself to calm down, and mentioned several places. Neither Mrs. Mi nor Mr. Mi knew about them, and no one had been sent there before, so she quickly told the housekeeper to make arrangements.
The three of them stayed awake all night.
After daybreak, the last servant who had gone out to search and inquire came back, and the news he reported was still something they did not want to hear.
Mrs. Mi covered her face with her handkerchief and burst into tears: "What he said is true, it is true, my poor son, oh oh oh."
Madam Mi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body icy cold. She trembled and said, "Who is he? What did he say? What happened to my husband?"
Master Mi sighed and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't ask who 'he' is anymore. Boss, he, he's most likely in trouble!"
"Ah!" Madam Mi nearly fainted, her voice trembling as she said, "That's Beiyuan! The Emperor is here, who dares to do anything?"
"Humph! There's always someone so audacious! Is there any need to wonder who it is? Who else could it be other than the illustrious Duke Liguo Mansion!"
Mrs. Mi sat there in a daze, distraught, and suddenly she began to sob.
My parents-in-law obviously have a source of information, and since my husband is indeed missing and couldn't be found all night, this is probably true.
She couldn't bear such a heavy blow and cried louder than her mother-in-law.
Master Mi was annoyed by what he heard and could not help but scold: "Shut up, what's the point of crying! Hurry up and go to the palace to see the Queen! This matter requires the Queen to intervene! Don't be so busy crying, the eldest brother might just be kidnapped, and the Queen can probably rescue him if she intervenes. Why are you crying? Don't you think it's bad luck!"
These words awakened the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Yes, it's just a disappearance. I don't believe that the prince of the Duke of Liguo's mansion is so bold as to harm people in Beiyuan. So there is still hope to rescue him.
"Master is right, let's go to the palace now!"
"Yes, yes, my husband will be fine!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly changed their clothes and packed up, then hurried into the palace.
