Qiao Dongzi nodded, "I know her. She's gone to Chongyang Mountain with the Grand Commandant and isn't in the capital anymore."
"Chongyang Mountain, Chongyang Mountain... Okay, you wait." Yao Yao turned around and jumped into the inner courtyard. She jumped so fast that she tripped and fell.
Qiao Dongzi rushed in and helped her up, saying, "Slow down, young lady."
"Thank you, Young Master Qiao." Yao Yao hesitated for a moment when she looked at Qiao Dongzi and said, "Why don't you come in with me? If it's inconvenient for my sister to see you, she can come out later, saving me the trouble of making another trip."
"Okay, thank you, young lady." Qiao Dongzi looked at her crippled leg and said, "Your leg only needs a prosthesis. There is a hall master in Bianyun Village who is skilled in mechanical arts. You can have him make one for you. As long as you don't say anything, almost no one will be able to tell that your leg is crippled."
"Really?" Yao Yao was so shocked that she froze like a block of wood.
“Of course, it’s all very simple for him,” Qiao Dongzi said.
As they talked, they arrived at Mu Run's door.
Yao Yao knocked on the door, "Sister Run, someone wants to see you."
"What did you call her?" Qiao Dongzi's expression changed drastically.
Yao Yao replied, "Run-jie, or sister, she's not my biological sister, but she's very good to me, just like a biological sister."
"What's her name?" Qiao Dongzi asked solemnly.
"She used to be called Hua Ling when she was in the Grand Commandant's mansion, but now she's called Mu Run."
"..." Qiao Dongzi looked up at the sky. It was bright daylight, not dark, and he was not dreaming.
The door to the room was not opened, so Yao Yao knocked again and even pushed the door.
The door was bolted from the inside.
Yao Yao patted the door again, "Sister, open the door."
Qiao Dongzi, looking somewhat dazed and incredulous, walked to the window, opened it halfway, and peered inside…
There was no one inside!
Startled, he walked to the door again and kicked the latch off.
Yao Yao was startled, "Young Master Qiao, what's wrong?"
“The person is gone.” Qiao Dongzi said to Yao Yao, looking at the empty room.
Yao Yao jumped into the house and looked at the empty room. There were no mattresses, pillows, tables, chairs and benches left, as if no one had ever lived there!
"How could this be?" Yao Yao walked towards the only remaining wardrobe.
All the clothes inside were gone, only the dressing box containing the silver notes remained, with a note on it.
She and Wang Yaozong had learned a lot of characters from Mu Run these days, so she could recognize all the characters on the note.
"Is this Yaoyao? It's like seeing you in person. There are two envelopes in this box, one for you and one for Qin Mama. As for me, I've taken the children and gone to a very safe place. Don't worry about us. You and your brother should live well. I wish you both a speedy recovery and hope you find Sister Qiaoyu soon so you can be reunited. I hope we'll meet again someday—Murun."
Qiao Dongzi took the letter from Yao Yao, looked at the signature, and became even more certain of the idea in his mind.
No wonder the boss dotes on her so much. Even when she misbehaves, he never says a word to her. She is who she is, the boss's wife!
"It's over!" All the credit is gone, and I might even get a beating from the boss!
Thinking about the punishment he might face, Qiao Dongzi looked dejected.
When Qin's mother came over and saw that the door was open, she called out, "Yaoyao, why didn't you close the door?"
Yao Yao hopped out of the house on one leg and said to Qin Mama, "It's bad, Qin Mama, my sister is gone. She took the children and left."
"What?" Qin's mother hurried into the house, which was empty.
