"Stop wailing, crying won't bring him back. Tell me in detail what exactly happened!" Cen Ying pinched her throbbing temples and immediately asked.
Li Chunlan wiped away her tears, suppressed her sobs of grievance, and recounted the events that had occurred in detail.
"Mother, do you think it might be the Wei family sending someone to retaliate? I don't think the Wei family is simple. They were able to switch my younger brother away quietly, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to kidnap my third sister-in-law now." Li Chunlan was eager to find the culprit and put her mind to work.
However, she rarely uses her brain, so her brain is a little rusty, and the answers she comes up with seem somewhat impossible.
"Sister-in-law, the Wei family has been wiped out. Who else could be sent to retaliate? Besides, if they really wanted to retaliate, why would they kidnap a third wife instead of arresting you, the more useful wife of the heir?"

The thief who wanted to kidnap people must have followed them for a period of time in advance. He only decided to make his move when he realized that the guards were not as strict as they were at the Marquis's residence.
Li Chunlan frowned and thought carefully for a moment before saying, "When my daughter-in-law and sister-in-law came to this jewelry store, a male customer was about to come in. I glanced at him briefly and found that his figure was very familiar, somewhat like my third brother. I even exclaimed 'Huh!' and asked the waiter to chase after him, but he had already left. My third sister-in-law even asked me about him."
