When Gu Yunran returned to Shengjing, the Queen Mother said, "I will stay at the post station for the time being."
Gu Yunran understood: "Okay."
She asked Qianli to send the Queen Mother to the Royal Post Station before she rushed back to the Mu Mansion.
When Mrs. Mu heard that Gu Yunran had returned, she brought people out to greet him, and the first and third wives also followed.
"Yun Ran, you're back?" Madam Mu walked up to her and took her hand. "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. You've been away for so many days and you're finally back. It rained heavily the past two days and I thought something had happened to you."
Gu Yunran held Madam Mu's hand with her backhand: "Grandma, I'm fine."
"By the way, where's Xue'er?" The eldest lady looked left and right, but didn't see Mu Qianxue. She ran over to ask Gu Yunran, "Xue'er, why didn't she come back with you?"
At this point, Gu Yunran's eyes reddened, and she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "Auntie, we encountered horse thieves on the way back, and Xue'er was captured by them."
"she……"
Before Gu Yunran could finish her words, the eldest lady fainted. Fortunately, Mother Qin supported her in time.
Madam Mu said, "Help Madam go back to her room and rest."
"yes."
After Mother Qin helped the eldest lady leave, Old Lady Mu took Gu Yunran's hand and asked, "What's going on? Can Xue'er come back?"
Gu Yunran said, "Grandma, Yunran sent someone to rescue her, but they couldn't find the horse thief's hiding place after searching for a long time. I thought I'd send more people to search after I came back. I hope we can find the Second Young Miss eventually."
"Okay, Xue'er is smart. Those bandits probably just want money and won't hurt her."
"Well, send someone to look for her quickly, bring some extra silver, and bring Xue'er back no matter what."
"Don't worry, Grandmother. Yun Ran will definitely find the Second Young Miss."
Regardless of life or death.
At this time, the third lady came over and said, "It's cold outside, come inside quickly."
"Yes, yes, your third aunt is right. You must be tired from working all the way. Come back to the yard and rest." Old Madam Mu took Gu Yunran's hand and walked into the yard.
Gu Yunran winked at Qianli, who immediately understood. He said, "I'll send someone to look for the Second Young Lady right away."
He randomly sent a few people to look for Mu Qianxue, while he himself went to interrogate the two girls brought back from Hanshan Temple.
Gu Yunran returned to the yard, and Zhuye saw her eyes reddened: "Miss, you are finally back. I missed you so much."
Zhuye threw herself into Gu Yunran's arms, crying like a child. Gu Yunran reached out and patted her on the back: "Okay, don't cry, I'm fine."
Zhuye wiped away a tear and said, "I've been so worried about you for so many days since you came back."
Ruizhu said, "We did have a lot of problems, but luckily, we were able to get out of danger."
"By the way, how's things at home? Any new discoveries?"
Zhuye whispered, "I've been close to Ye Qing recently, and I've gotten a lot of information from her."
"They were originally all orphans at Nian Ci Temple. They were adopted by the Second Young Lady and trained all day long. Some of them were martial artists, but I heard that there are people from the palace behind Nian Ci Temple."
Gu Yunran listened and nodded. "Based on what Ye Qing said, I have a rough guess. Once Qianli finishes interrogating those two people, the truth should be revealed."
Gu Yunran said to Zhuye, "Find a way to take Ye Qing out and hand him over to Qianli. Remember, don't let anyone find out."
Zhuye said, "Miss, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."
"good."
"Miss, are you hungry? I'll go make you something to eat right away." Zhuye said as she ran to the small kitchen and started preparing food for Gu Yunran.
Ruizhu said, "I just went out to ask around and heard that the fourth young lady is still not well."
Gu Yunran poured herself a glass of water and took a sip, her fingers tightly gripping the white jade cup as she sipped, "Once that medicine is taken, it will cause irreversible damage. I'm afraid it's impossible for the Fourth Miss to recover."
"Mu Qianxue is so cruel, she even attacked her own sister so cruelly."
Ning Xue: "No matter how flawless the Second Young Lady's actions are, there will always be flaws. I will leave this matter to you to investigate."
Gu Yunran recognized Ningxue's ability and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Ningxue turned and left. Zhuye prepared food for Gu Yunran. After Gu Yunran finished eating, he washed up, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Zhuye took Ye Qing shopping.
"Second grandma just came back and she loves Su Ji's candy. Let's buy a basket of it today." Zhuye said to Ye Qing with a smile.
Ye Qing pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous.
Zhuye took her hand and said, "Let's go. After we pass this alley, turn right and you'll find Su Ji Ma Tang."
"By the way, do you like candy?" Zhuye said, "Second Grandma asked me to buy some and share it with everyone during the New Year."
Ye Qing nodded: "Second Madam is so nice!"
"Yes, Second Madam is the best master I have ever met in my life. She rewards and punishes us servants clearly and is a very good person."
The two little girls were talking as they walked forward when they were suddenly attacked from behind and knocked unconscious.
When Zhuye woke up, Ye Qing was gone. She ran back in a hurry and saw a carriage parked at the door.
Mu Qianxue got off the carriage. Her face was a little pale, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot on the road.
Zhuye thought about it and ran forward in a panic, accidentally bumping into Mu Qianxue.
When Mu Qianxue saw that it was Zhuye, she scolded him, "You're so flustered! How can you be so unbecoming?"
