Master Jiang Er looked at Xiao with a deep gaze and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk inside."

Xiao followed Elder Jiang into the Ci Xin Hall, and saw Elder Madam Feng sitting on the armchair, looking at her expressionlessly.

Xiao felt cold all over and greeted Old Madam Feng in a daze.

"Please sit down." Old Madam Feng pointed to a seat nearby.

Jiang Qiao and other young people were still standing in the main room, and they were too angry to speak out.

Elder Jiang frowned and said, "All of you get out."

Jiang Qiao and the others bowed quietly and left.

It rained in the morning. Because of the sudden incident in the Bo's mansion, the maids who were sweeping the house were not in the mood to do their work. The leaves of the toon tree in the yard fell all over the ground, and stepping on them felt like stepping on a carpet.

Jiang Qiao and a few others walked out of the gate of Ci Xin Hall and looked back at the same time.

Fifth Miss Jiang Li couldn't help but ask, "Is mother okay?"

Jiang Qiao said calmly: "Let's not ask too much about adults' affairs, let's go."

She has never been able to get close to this second aunt, so she doesn't care whether she is good or bad.

"My mother was kidnapped, and now she suddenly comes back. I always feel that..." Jiang Li didn't say the rest of the words, but she was very uneasy.

She had tried her best to please her stepmother since she was a child, and finally she had the respect she has today. In another two years, she thought that her stepmother would be willing to spend some time to find a good marriage for her. If something happened to her stepmother now, wouldn't all her years of being humble and submissive be in vain?

Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt like vomiting blood.

The sixth girl, Jiang Pei'an, was quiet and didn't say a word.

"My eldest brother and third brother don't know about this yet." Jiang Li muttered.

The eldest son Jiang Yuan has not recovered from the double blow of the autumn examination and the new champion Zhen Heng, and he has been hiding in the house all day long. The third son Jiang Cang is unreliable and went out to school early in the morning. Of course, his family would not send someone to the school to inform him of this. After all, telling him would only cause trouble.

Jiang Qiao glanced at Jiang Li and left silently.

"Fifth sister, let's go back to our room too."

Jiang Li looked back at Ci Xin Tang again, and left in a huff with a feeling of reluctance.

In Ci Xin Hall, Old Madam Feng said nothing, just drank from her teacup intermittently, making the atmosphere even more depressing.

Elder Jiang Er looked at Xiao carefully, frowned and asked, "What happened today?"

Xiao felt a chill in her heart when she heard this.

She had thought that the couple had lived in harmony for many years, and even if he no longer had the deep affection he had when they first got married, at least they still had feelings for her. But now there was no concern in the man's eyes, only inquiry.

This discovery made Xiao suddenly feel even more wronged than being kidnapped for no apparent reason.

After a long silence, Xiao said with red eyes: "I don't know what happened. I was sitting in the carriage and suddenly heard a noise outside. Then the carriage started to run quickly. Hongyue looked outside and found that the driver was kicked off. The two people with their faces covered were driving the carriage..."

Xiao recalled the horrific experience and couldn't help trembling all over: "When I woke up, I found myself locked in the woodshed. After shouting for a long time, the door suddenly opened and two people with covered faces appeared again, warning me not to make a sound or they would send me back. Later, I was pushed off the carriage and found myself standing at the entrance of a dark alley not far from Yuqian Hutong. The other carriage soon disappeared..."

When Mr. Jiang Er heard this, his brows furrowed. "So, the other party didn't make things difficult for you?"

Xiao nodded quickly.

Not to mention that the other party really didn't make things difficult for her, even if he did, she couldn't admit it, because if she did, she wouldn't be able to live like a human being.

"I'm glad you're okay." Considering the presence of Mr. Jiang San and his wife, Mr. Jiang Er forced a smile.

Now that his wife has returned, he has no better option than to pretend that nothing has happened. He cannot go on a high-profile hunt to track down the person who kidnapped his wife, as that would make him a laughing stock in the eyes of his colleagues.

However, the fact that the Bo Mansion's carriage was abandoned near the Jinshui River became a thorn in the heart of Old Master Jiang Er. He could not feel the slightest concern when looking at the Xiao family, and could only feel disgusted.

Who knows whether the wife has lost her innocence?

"Where is Hongyue?" Old Madam Feng suddenly asked.

Xiao was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly, and then he remembered Hongyue.

"I never saw the red moon again after I woke up..."

"So, they sent you back and left Hongyue behind?" Old Madam Feng thought this was strange and turned to ask Old Master Jiang, "Old Master, what do you think?"

Elder Jiang shook his head: "It's hard to say, could it be that this disaster was caused by the red moon?"

It would be strange if a maid who seldom left her mistress's side could cause such a disaster.

"Do you think this incident is related to the loss of control of the Zhu family's carriage?" Old Madam Feng briefly described what happened to Jiang Si today.

Elder Jiang Er was startled: "What does mother mean?"

Madam Deng turned her Buddhist beads quickly: "I always feel that it is too coincidental that these things happened at the same time."

Elder Jiang closed his eyes, then opened them again, his eyes flashing coldly: "Mother is right, the carriage of the Bo Mansion was hijacked, and the carriage of the Zhu Mansion lost control. The intersection of the two is Si'er. She may be the key! Mother, where is Si'er?"

Old Madam Feng had a strange look on her face: "Your eldest brother took her to the Zhu Mansion to seek justice."

Master Jiang was stunned.

He actually went to ask for justice with a righteous attitude. Could it be that his suspicion was in the wrong direction?

Madam Feng added: "The fourth girl even reported it to the authorities..."

Elder Jiang Er immediately jumped up and said, "The robbery of the carriage at the Bo Mansion must not be linked to the Zhu family's affairs!"

Is that girl crazy? She actually reported such a thing to the police?

Thinking of Zhen Shicheng's calm old face, Mr. Jiang Er began to feel a headache.

Madam Feng nodded heavily and said, "This matter cannot be mentioned again. Tell people to pass on the message that if anyone mentions the kidnapping of the second wife, the whole family will be sold immediately."

At this moment, the Zhu Mansion is even more lively than the Dongping Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Zhu was a very disciplined person, and normally no one could find fault with her in the slightest. She never expected that today she would have to deal with a bunch of uninvited officials.

The young man who was sitting in the hall drinking tea at this moment was Yu Jian.

Unlike Madam Zhu who was in a very bad mood, Prince Yu Qi, who looked aloof, was in high spirits at the moment.

Asi actually sued the Zhu family. Doesn't this mean that I won't have to wait long to see her?

Asi was so good at creating opportunities for encounters that it actually made him a little shy.

I don’t know what she was thinking about, but a deep smile appeared in Yu Jin’s eyes.

Madam Zhu was furious when she saw this. Everyone said that the Seventh Prince who just came back from the south was unruly, but she never expected that he was not only unruly, but also had no character. He even took such a gloating look at the misfortune of coming to the Zhu Mansion to handle a case.

Yes, after the blunder caused by several assistant ministers of the Ministry of Rites in the Jinshui River case, all officials and nobles dared not take it lightly anymore and quickly identified the Prince of Yan who tried to make his presence felt in front of the emperor from time to time. Now everyone knew that the Prince of Yan was working with Zhen Shicheng.

She couldn't chase him away, nor could she scold him, so Mrs. Zhu could only sulk.

"Mrs. Zhu, why hasn't Mr. Zhu come back yet?"
