Chapter 40 The Minister of Works Comes to Visit



The gatekeeper didn't dare let anyone in and hurriedly called someone to find the master and his wife.

After a while, Ming Wenqing and An Li came out fully dressed.

"Sir Qian, I wonder what you want from me?" Ming Wenqing asked puzzledly as he stood on the steps of the mansion.

"My daughter came to your house yesterday to celebrate your birthday and never returned home."

"Did you hide someone? Let Shanshan out!"

The Minister of Works had bloodshot eyes. When he learned in the morning that his beloved daughter had not returned home all night, he came to the general's mansion.

At this moment, all rationality is gone and the words spoken are not thought through.

"You didn't come back all night?" Ming Wenqing was puzzled, with a worried look on his face.

"Master Qian, I personally sent Shanshan and the other ladies out yesterday. It's impossible that they didn't come back!" An Li frowned, also very worried.

Yesterday, she personally watched Qian Shanshan leave.

The female secret guard who dressed her got off the car halfway.

Of course they couldn't find where their daughter had gone.

He then asked, "Does Shanshan's maid know? Or did she go to a friend's house?"

After hearing this, the Minister of Works regained some of his consciousness.

"Lanhua, tell me where the young lady went! If you dare to lie, I will beat you to death immediately!"

Orchids and orchid grass knelt down immediately.

Her eyes were already swollen from crying, and she said, "Master, Madam, after the young lady left the General's Mansion yesterday, she went to Fuyu Tower."

"The young lady didn't allow me to follow her, so I waited outside. We waited for quite a while, but she didn't come out."

"I went inside to look for her, but the young lady wasn't there. I thought she had returned to the mansion, so I went back as well."

"I didn't expect that after returning home, the young lady still wasn't there. Thinking that the young lady often stayed overnight at other young ladies' homes, I didn't take it seriously..."

The maid knelt on the ground, sobbing softly.

Miss Shan often stayed overnight at her friend's house without the master and mistress knowing.

But early in the morning, the lady would sneak in through the back door.

Unexpectedly, the young lady did not come back this morning, so we urgently notified the master and the mistress.

"Shan'er, where have you been?!" Mrs. Qian burst into tears.

Since yesterday afternoon, her heart has been beating fast.

The Minister of Works was so angry that he kicked the maid to the ground, "Useless thing!"

"If the young lady is missing, won't you report it to the authorities and return home?"

An Li frowned, "Master Qian, Shanshan has always been good friends with Ling'er. I feel bad when Shanshan disappears."

"But beating and scolding the maid is useless. Now go and find her."

He took Mrs. Qian's hand and comforted her.

An Li also shed two tears.

She understood this feeling, but since Qian Shanshan was plotting against Ling'er, don't blame her for being ruthless.

Otherwise, it would be Ling'er who was sold to the mountains by human traffickers and beaten to death by the old drunkard!

This is Qian Shanshan’s retribution!

Mrs. Qian cried so much that she fainted.

An Li hurriedly supported the person and helped him and the maid into the carriage.

"Go get the doctor!"

The doctor came and gave Mrs. Qian an injection in the Ren Zhong point, and she woke up.

"Master, go find Shan'er!"

Madam Qian held the maid's hand tightly, crying and complaining.

An Li comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam Qian, my husband and I will also send people to look for her."

"snort!"

The Minister of Works snorted coldly and ordered the groom to spur his horse and leave quickly.

An Li and Ming Wenqing looked at each other and returned home with worried looks on their faces.

When they entered the house, they all smiled.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard Chunhe hurriedly reporting.

"Madam, the Second Madam went to the Third Miss crying, and she said...she said the Third Miss was gone."

An Li's face turned pale. She asked her husband to look after Ming Xin who was still sleeping, and went to Qingniao Pavilion.

Before I even went in, I heard Li Yujiao crying!

Opening the door, An Li asked in a trembling voice, "What happened to the Third Miss?"

Dongzhi Dongxue looked confused and said, "Miss, nothing happened."

The young lady stayed up late last night to practice swordsmanship and fell into a deep sleep and hasn't woken up yet.

Why did the second wife rush in crying, and why did the lady look so wrong?

"Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences!" Li Yujiao said with tears on her face and sobbing.

There is deep pride in his eyes!

"What's wrong?" An Li saw her and calmed down again.

"Madam, the young lady hasn't woken up yet." Dongzhi hurriedly reported.

I’m afraid that if I don’t say it, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Li Yujiao suppressed her pride and said, "The maid is ignorant, sister-in-law, Ling'er..."

“Cough cough cough…”

"Dongxue, pour me a glass of water."

Before he could finish his words, the person on the bed coughed and woke up.

I pulled open the bed curtain and saw my mother and second aunt in the room. I didn't know what had happened.

"Why...are they all here?" Ming Yiling was rarely confused.

"You're not dead... Ling'er, you scared your aunt to death. God bless you."

Li Yujiao was startled and quickly changed her words. Seeing Ming Yiling's healthy body, she felt puzzled and jealous.

It was obvious that she had pierced the villain's spirit platform last night, so she deserved to die.

How come you're still alive now?

Still looking so healthy?

An Li's eyes darkened. Li Yujiao must have done something again to think that Ling'er was in trouble.

Wei Wei said unhappily, "Sister-in-law, Ling'er is fine, don't say such things again."

"Yujiao misunderstood. I heard from the servants this morning that there was a burst of crying and shouting in the mansion."

"The servant mistakenly thought Ling'er was in trouble. Yujiao will teach that servant a lesson when we get back."

Li Yujiao looked a little embarrassed, but she managed to make it sound reasonable.

"That guy really needs a lesson. He has no respect for his elders." An Li didn't give in at all.

Her daughter is the apple of her eye, and she will fight to the death with anyone who dares to touch her!

Li Yujiao laughed awkwardly, "My sister-in-law is right."

"Sister-in-law, Zhuzhu is about to wake up. Yujiao will go back first."

An Li nodded, and Li Yujiao left in a hurry.

"You never change." After the person left, An Li scolded the back figure.

He stepped forward again and looked at his third daughter. "I thought something had happened to you. Fortunately, you are healthy."

Ming Yiling smiled and said in a clear voice, "Mother, it feels like I've lived my life again. I cherish my life very much."

After asking the maid to leave, An Li told his daughter about Qian Shanshan.

Since she was so close to Qian Shanshan in the past, her daughter must be sad. She wanted to comfort her, but Ming Yiling didn't care at all.

She said very coldly, "Mother, I have experienced countless life and death situations, and I have long since lost interest in emotions."

"In my daughter's heart, only herself and her family are the most important."

An Li was very pleased that all her children were outstanding.

"You are right to think so."

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then An Li returned to Jingheyuan.

After telling her husband about the mistake, Ming Wenqing felt relieved.

After a busy morning, Mingxin woke up now.

[The first thing I see every day is my father and mother.]

[I am the happiest baby in the world!]

Mingxin turned over and raised her hand to suck her fingers.

An Li picked up little Xinbao and kissed her soft face.

Ming Wenqing also kissed him twice.

She called the maid to bring some goat milk, and Mingxin's belly was full after eating it.
