Zhan Yue was taken aback, then gave a stiff laugh.
"General Li, I'm sorry, His Majesty wanted to say goodbye to you, but he..."
"Where's Xiao Ran?" Li Zheng interrupted Zhan Yue. He was anxious and didn't have time to deal with Zhan Yue.
"Didn't you take him away?" Zhan Yue asked back, making Li Zheng even more nervous.
"He Lin, where's Xiao Ran?!"
At the same moment, He Lin hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain.
"I didn't see him." He Lin was also taken aback, his heart leaping into his throat.
Li Zheng was anxious. He carefully examined the carriage through the curtain, not even missing the bottom of it, but he couldn't see Gu Xiaoran at all.
"He's gone?" He Lin pressed.
Li Zheng didn't answer, but instead asked, "Where are your two bodyguards, Xuanming and Xuanying?"
“They’ve been following Jin’er.” He Lin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, sensing the layers of danger.
"Don't worry, those two are quite capable. Jin'er must have been playing and forgot to go home."
"It's you, you took him away!" Li Zheng was extremely anxious because he couldn't see Gu Xiaoran.
Although Xiao Ran is mischievous, he has become much more sensible than before.
"It wasn't me. If I were to take him away, I would definitely let you and my mother-in-law know!"
Originally, he left without saying goodbye because he was ashamed to face the Ye family.
He wanted to take Jin'er away, but now, he wanted to see Qiu Yan even more.
He was eager to go to Baiyang to find Qiu Yan.
I heard that Qiu Yan went to do business, but no one knows where she went.
Therefore, he went to Baiyangqiu's residence to ask the servants there.
If Qiu Yan agrees to go to Shangjin with her, then things will go smoothly for Jin'er.
Li Zheng felt a little weak. Thinking that Gu Xiaoran might have already returned home, he immediately turned his horse around and rode towards Lingnan.
He Lin hurriedly followed behind.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, Jin'er will be alright."
Now that Jin'er has gotten into trouble, he must rush back to check on her.
Unexpectedly, when they returned to the Li family home, Gu Xiaoran was nowhere to be found.
Madam Ye sat blankly in the courtyard, ignoring her two children's wailing and crying. They didn't want their wet nurse, only their mother.
"Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, are you playing around again?"
When Li Zheng returned home, he immediately saw Ye Shi sitting on the cold stone steps and quickly went over to help her up.
"Xiao Ran, have you found Xiao Ran yet?"
Mr. Ye asked anxiously.
“He…” Li Zheng knew his wife had suffered a blow; her expression was somewhat dejected, and she seemed a little unsteady. He quickly nodded to her.
"Found him, He Lin took him away."
Outside the door, He Lin was about to step inside when he heard what Li Zheng said and immediately stopped.
His face showed bitterness, and his anxiety was no less than that of Li Zheng and Ye Shi.
Just now, he had dispatched all his guards to conduct a thorough search of the entire Lingnan Village and the forest behind it.
"Now that you've won him over, why don't you bring Xiao Ran back? Brother Li, are you confused?" Madam Ye missed Xiao Ran and desperately wanted to see her again.
Regarding the feud with He Lin, Madam Ye wanted to seek justice for her daughter, but...
You can't fight city hall!
What else could she do but vent her frustrations on Brother Li's behalf?
With a single word from His Majesty, the Li family could be exiled to this remote mountain village.
On the way, my father-in-law passed away, and my mother-in-law died of depression.
This is a pain that will never fade in their hearts.
On the way to exile, Brother Li endured countless humiliations in order to feed his family.
