Her lips moved for a moment before she said, "Haven't found it yet, but I've sent people to look for it..."
"ah……"
Wei screamed.
Wei's hand, which was tightly gripping the armrest of the chair, was pierced by the dagger.
Aunt Gui beside her screamed in fear: "Madam!"
Nanny Gui wanted to rush forward to save Wei, but Yang Zhao turned around and kicked her in the leg. After she fell to the ground with a thud, her hand was crushed under Yang Zhao's feet, causing her to scream in pain.
"Dongshuang, have someone bring Xiaomo and Xiaoli over. Also, call the housekeeper and Guard Captain Xu."
"In January or February, go to the old lady's yard and invite her out..."
Yang Zhao gave the order expressionlessly.
Dong Shuang and the others who followed immediately took action.
In the house, apart from the master and servant of the Wei family who were screaming in pain, the other maids and servants were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they dared not keep silent.
A quarter of an hour later.
The two sisters Jasmine, who looked disheveled, were hurried over with support.
As soon as they saw Yang Zhao, the two sisters knelt down, kowtowed and cried, saying: "Miss, Miss Xier is missing. It's our fault that we are useless and failed to take good care of Miss Xier..."
"Tell me more clearly, when did Xier disappear? What did she do before she disappeared? Or where did she go?" Yang Zhao asked with a cold face, not in a very good mood.
Xiao Mo fell to the ground and said, "Miss Xier disappeared yesterday. Yesterday was the same as usual. Miss Xier played with us for a while and then took a nap. Usually, Miss Xier would sleep for an hour before waking up, but when I went to Miss Xier's room an hour later, I found that Miss Xier was no longer in bed."
"At first we thought Miss Xier had woken up on her own and gone out to play, but when we asked the maids and the gatekeepers in the courtyard, they all said they had never seen Miss Xier, and that she had never left the courtyard."
"After searching, we discovered a dog hole in the back room with traces of crawling. We guessed that Miss Xier must have crawled out through that dog hole, so we quickly sent people to look for her, but..."
"When the Madam heard the news, she was afraid that we would disturb the old lady and the eldest daughter, so she had Xiaoli and I locked up in the woodshed."
Xiao Mo had just finished speaking when Xiao Li, who was also kneeling beside her, said, "Madam, if Miss Xi'er is not in the mansion, then Miss Xi'er might have escaped through the dog hole."
"Miss Xier once chased a stray dog that came in from nowhere. We chased the dog out and found several more dog holes dug by the dog in the mansion. Maybe the dog dug a new dog hole in the mansion..."
Hearing this.
Yang Zhao immediately ordered people to check the dog hole.
And at this time.
Butler Yan and Guard Captain Xu came in hurriedly, and when they entered the house and saw the situation inside, they froze.
But soon, they all remained calm, lowered their heads slightly, and looked straight ahead, respectfully calling out to Yang Zhao, "Miss!"
"Butler Yan, Xi'er is missing. Go check the mansion, leaving no corner or crevice untouched. Also, ask the servants if anyone has seen Xi'er. Don't miss any clues."
Miss Xier is missing?
Butler Yan's face turned pale. He had no idea about this situation. Thinking about how he had been almost sidelined over the years...
Butler Yan nodded quickly: "Yes, I will check it out right away."
"Wait a moment."
Yang Zhao looked at Butler Yan and said in a cold voice, "Those who don't obey, no matter who they are, will be sold out directly and replaced with people you trust. From today on, whoever dares to transfer your people will be ignored. I will take responsibility for everything!"
Wei, who was still in pain, changed his expression instantly.
But her hand was still nailed to the chair by the dagger, and every time she moved it caused her to break out in a cold sweat. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid that the little bitch Yang Zhao would go crazy and stab her again.
Butler Yan's eyes were filled with excitement, and he nodded immediately: "Yes, I will go right away."
"Captain Xu!"
Yang Zhao now set his gaze on Guard Captain Xu, a man in his fifties with a broken arm. He had a strong aura and even looked a bit ferocious.
When he heard Yang Zhao calling him Captain Xu, his body stiffened.
That was his previous military rank. After he was rescued from a broken arm in the battle where the previous prince died, he came to this marquis's mansion and became the captain of the guard.
However, ever since Yang Zhao got married, he, the captain of the guard, and his disabled brothers who were veterans, were gradually assigned by the Wei family to do odd jobs. They were not even given the job of guarding the gate, which meant they were left with nothing.
However, the title of captain of the guard still hangs on his head.
Hearing Yang Zhao address him like this, Xu Long subconsciously stood up straight, his face stern: "Miss, please give your orders."
"Go and gather all the guards and servants in the palace."
Xu Long's expression turned cold as soon as he heard that Xier was missing. She was the only daughter of the previous master, but she disappeared right under their noses and they didn't even know anything about it.
Xu Long's heart was filled with murderous intent.
There was a fierce look in his eyes: "Yes!"
He already knew how to deal with it without Yang Zhao's specific instructions.
He was aware that after the eldest daughter got married a few years ago, the Wei family wanted to train their own people and gradually marginalize these veterans.
The fact that they were kept in the mansion was already a favor from the Marquis. After all, Wei was the mistress of the house, and they didn't want to cause trouble for the married eldest daughter, so they endured it.
But who would have thought that Wei would conceal Xier's disappearance.
It's been a whole day.
If Miss Xier really ran out, the consequences would be unimaginable...
At this time.
The person who had just gone to investigate the dog hole came back to report: "Miss, we found a dog hole in the west kitchen backyard. It's a new dog hole that hasn't been sealed."
Just a quarter of an hour.
Housekeeper Yan hurried over with a little maid, "Miss, this girl said she saw Miss Xier at the gate of the old lady's courtyard yesterday."
The little maid knelt on the ground and trembled as she hurriedly said, "When I passed by yesterday, I saw Miss Xier hiding in the corner of the wall near the old lady's courtyard gate. She seemed to be eavesdropping on the conversation between the lady and Aunt Gui. I didn't dare to interfere and hurried away."
Yang Zhao turned and looked at Wei.
"What did you say yesterday?"
Xier is different from other children. Normally, she would never run out. What did she hear from Wei yesterday?
Wei was sweating profusely from the pain, and the blood from her hands formed a small pool on the ground. She felt that if she continued like this, she would bleed to death. "Go call a doctor for me, and I will tell you everything..."
"ah!"
Wei screamed again.
