"Lin Qingfeng." She put down her spoon and stood up.
Lin Qingfeng entered in response, cupping his fists and saying, "Mistress."
Su Wan asked, "My brother hasn't returned yet. He should have arrived by midnight. Could something have happened to him on the way?"
Seeing Su Wan's worried expression, Lin Qingfeng quickly said, "Second Master Su may have been delayed on the way. If Madam is worried, I will send someone to fetch him right away."
Su Wan said, "Okay, quickly send someone to pick them up."
Lin Qingfeng dared not delay and sent ten guards on fast horses to the south to meet Su Yuze.
Su Wan was restless, so she went to the entrance of the Su residence and looked south along the road. If Su Yuze's carriage was coming, it would be from that direction.
Lu Zhao brought out a fox fur coat and draped it over her shoulders, saying, "Mistress, it's chilly outside, so don't stand here. Guard Lin has already sent someone to fetch you; they'll be here soon."
Lin Qingfeng, standing to the side, chimed in, "Miss Lu is right. Madam, go back to your room to rest. I'll stay here and watch over things."
Su Wan tightened her fox fur coat around herself and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy."
Lu Zhao said, "Then I will stand here with the mistress."
Unlike Su Wan, Lu Zhao didn't like to jump around. After standing for half an hour, he couldn't stand still anymore and climbed onto the stone lion next to the gate, standing on its head to look around.
“Mistress, a horse is coming.” She pointed to the south.
Su Wan peeked out on tiptoe and saw that it was one of the guards Lin Qingfeng had sent out earlier. He spurred his horse and galloped to the gate of the Su residence, reined in his mount, dismounted, and came to Su Wan, saying, "Mistress, we found an overturned carriage forty li south of Suiyang..."
After hearing the guard's account of the scene, Su Wan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She turned around and grabbed Lin Qingfeng, saying, "My brother has been kidnapped!"
What I had been worried about suddenly became a reality.
Lin Qingfeng said, "Mistress, please calm down. The fact that the other party was able to kill eight of our guards is something that no ordinary person could do. We must report this to the Lord immediately."
Su Wan covered her face with her hands and paused for a moment before saying, "Don't go to A Jin. His situation is more urgent, and he doesn't have time to deal with this."
It wasn't that she didn't want to find Wei Jingzhuo. The Fifth Prince's army would arrive at Xiping Pass in a few days. That would be a battle between two armies, involving the lives of tens of thousands of people.
When she lowered her hand again, she had regained her composure: "Lin Qingfeng, prepare the horses and carriages. I need to go to the place where the accident happened now."
Lin Qingfeng nodded and immediately ran back to the Su residence to prepare.
Lu Zhao said, "Mistress, please don't panic. I'll go and call my brother right away. He's been a bandit for many years and is skilled at tracking; he'll definitely be able to help."
Su Wan nodded, and Lu Zhao had already run quickly into the courtyard.
