"Master, it's bad, the young lady is missing."
Upon hearing the maid's report, Fu Chengwang's face immediately darkened and he said, "Nonsense! The young lady has been in the backyard the entire time and hasn't gone anywhere. How could she be missing?"
"It's true."
The maidservant said in panic, "We have searched the entire house but couldn't find the young lady. Even Lan'er is missing."
"They're not going to elope, are they?" someone suddenly said.
Fu Chengwang immediately denied it: "That's impossible. My family has strict upbringing. My daughter would never elope. Maybe she went out shopping. Someone, go look for her on the street and ask her to come back immediately."
Fu Chengwang sent everyone in the mansion out to search, but after a whole day of searching, they found nothing.
The guests who came to attend the engagement ceremony were all whispering.
"I never thought Miss Fu would resort to the tactic of eloping."
"Who would have thought that Minister Fu, who always pays attention to rules, would actually raise a daughter who doesn't follow the rules?"
"Maybe it's not an elopement, but she's hiding on purpose and doesn't want to get married? Didn't they say Miss Fu is dissatisfied with Mr. Bai?"
"You don't understand this, right? I wouldn't do this if I wasn't satisfied. I'm thinking of eloping because I've found someone I'm satisfied with."
"I just don't know who she eloped with."
"Who else could it be? The new number one scholar..."
The guests' words made Fu Chengwang's face darken, and he shouted angrily: "Come, go call Zhao Lin."
The servant hurried out and came back in a hurry not long after.
"Master, Master Zhao is not here. I heard that he left home yesterday to take up his post in Qingzhou."
With a buzzing sound, Fu Chengwang almost fainted.
"evil creature!"
Fu Chengwang was furious: "Send someone immediately to bring these two adulterers back."
Fu Chengwang was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
Mrs. Fu said dissatisfiedly: "I think Zhao Lin is not bad either."
Although Mrs. Fu was still dissatisfied with Zhao Lin yesterday, her daughter has now run away with him and has been gone for a day and a night. Who knows what happened?
Even if she is brought back, who can still believe her innocence?
So no matter how dissatisfied Mrs. Fu was with Zhao Lin, she had to accept it.
Fu Chengwang thought otherwise. "As a scholar, he actually kidnapped another girl. Zhao Lin is a wicked man, worse than an animal. Even if Qing'er never marries, she must not marry him. Go quickly and bring them back to me."
The servants of the Fu Mansion immediately mounted their horses and gave chase.
Fu Chengwang was still angry: "Bring me a pen. I want to write a letter to the officials along the way, asking them to help catch Zhao Lin, who kidnapped women."
Madam Fu quickly stopped her, saying, "No, Qing'er's reputation will be ruined."
Fu Chengwang said coldly: "It's ruined."
Madam Fu said, "Then marry Zhao Lin. He's also the top scholar, no worse than anyone else."
Fu Chengwang said angrily, "I told you, even if Qing'er must remain single for the rest of her life, she must not marry that beast."
Bai Shiyuan, Bai Shicheng and several elders of the Bai family were watching from the side, all of them dumbfounded.
Who could have thought that Zhao Lin would do this without making any noise?
As a result, the Bai family will also be embarrassed.
"Send someone immediately to catch Zhao Lin."
Bai Shiyuan and Bai Shicheng's father Bai Yishan shouted.
The news that Zhao Lin abducted Fu Chengwang's daughter and eloped overnight quickly spread.
"As expected of the number one scholar, he is truly extraordinary."
"He actually kidnapped Minister Fu's daughter. That's truly amazing."
"It's been a while since there have been so many exciting things happening in the capital."
“I don’t know if I can catch it back.”
Many people speculated enthusiastically.
It would be fine if it were an ordinary scholar, but it is normal for a poor scholar with no money and no power to be looked down upon by others.
Zhao Lin was the top scholar, and every family was vying to marry their daughters to him, but he ended up eloping. It was absolutely outrageous.
"That old bastard Fu Chengwang is so pedantic. Zhao Lin and Miss Fu were in love, so why not just let them get together? But he insisted on forcing them to elope. Now look what a shame he's lost."
"Let's see how Fu Chengwang can face people now."
Many people gloated over the other person's misfortune.
It’s really because Fu Chengwang is too stubborn that many people dislike him.
"Dad, Mom, something happened."
Zhao Mingyu hurried back to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Jingzhou's face darkened: "You're yelling and shouting, there's no manners."
Zhao Mingya quickly stopped and said, "Dad, something happened."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Jingzhou asked.
"Zhao Lin and Miss Fu eloped." Zhao Mingyu said.
"Um?"
Zhao Jingzhou's heart moved.
He didn't expect that Fu Liqing and Zhao Lin had such a good relationship, and he would rather elope with him.
Although Zhao Lin became the prefect of Qingzhou in one step, he was still far behind the Bai family.
Fu Liqing would rather give up Bai Shicheng and elope with Zhao Lin. There is no other reason except that they are in love.
"Zhao Lin did a good job." Zhao Jingzhou praised.
"Is that okay?" Zhao Mingyu asked in confusion. "He kidnapped Miss Fu. Lord Fu is furious and has already ordered people to pursue him. He has also issued a letter requesting the authorities along the way to assist in his capture. What if they are caught and sent back?"
Zhao Jingzhou smiled and said, "Zhao Lin is the newly crowned number one scholar and the prefect of Qingzhou appointed by the emperor himself. Those officials dared not intervene after receiving Fu Chengwang's letter. This son-in-law must be Zhao Lin's."
"But doesn't that mean Chenhan has no hope?" Zhao Mingyu said.
"He was hopeless."
Zhao Jingzhou said lightly.
Today he specially went to the palace, asked Cheng **, and read the letters, only then did he understand why Fu Chengwang was angry with Zhao Chenhan.
Zhao Jingzhou was as annoyed as Fu Chengwang.
Zhao Chenhan may not be excellent enough, but he cannot be deceitful.
