"What's going on? Can you explain it clearly?"
Mu Lige grabbed Si Chengfeng's wrist, but his eyes suddenly turned cold, and a murderous light flashed in his bright eyes.
"It's like this, big brother..."
Then Si Chengfeng told Mu Lige that at around 4:00 am, Han Shuying came to Hua's house to find Hua Qingcheng, and Hua Qingcheng disappeared after meeting him.
"Brother, what should we do? Will my wife be okay?" For some reason, Yu Xiaotian felt very uneasy.
"Xiaotian, be patient. Go and bring Xiaobai over now."
"Chengfeng, call Lao Qiu over here."
Mu Lige suppressed his inner anxiety, striding into the front yard with his long legs, and headed straight for the main hall. He was now nearly five months pregnant, and after walking a bit at the market this morning, he was quite tired.
While Mu Lige was resting, Yu Xiaotian brought the little white tiger, and Si Chengfeng also called Qiu Fu over, along with his grandson Qiu Ming.
"Old Qiu, tell me in detail what happened when you saw Han Shuying this morning."
"Yes, master. It was about four quarters past noon, and I was sweeping the front yard when suddenly a beautiful woman in a crimson dress, holding an oil-paper umbrella, knocked on the door and asked for the master by name."
Qiu Fu paused and continued, "At the time, the head of the family was practicing calligraphy in the study in the backyard. After I reported to her, she told me to go down and get busy. About a cup of tea later, I saw the head of the family wearing a pink cloak and walking out of the front yard.
"So it seems that Han Shuying didn't come into the house, and Qingqing followed her out?"
Mu Lige narrowed her eyes slightly and tapped the table with her fingers. Her mind kept thinking about the various possibilities of Han Shuying looking for Hua Qingcheng and where they would go together, but the only possibility she did not consider was that Han Shuying came for Han Yichen.
"That's right, husband." Qiu Fu reported truthfully.
"Xiao Qingcheng, look what good things I brought you?"
Just as Mu Lige was thinking, a magnetic and pleasant voice floated in from the yard. The person who came was Han Yichen, who had returned from collecting herbs in Pinglan Mountain this morning.
"Third brother, what are you holding in your arms? Why does it smell faintly sweet?" Situ Ye, who had returned from the shop in Yunshui Town, also entered the front yard at almost the same time. He was about to pull the jar that Han Yichen was holding, but he dodged him.
"Brother, this is top-grade royal jelly. I risked being stung by bees to collect it just for my wife. I see you're tall and strong, with a thick skin, so you shouldn't need it."
"Third brother, you are a guy who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty. It's really... sad!" Situ Ye looked at Han Yichen's stingy look of protecting his food, and couldn't help but twitch his lips and teased.
The two playful people were about to go to the dining hall to eat, but they saw everyone gathered in the main room, so they went in together.
"Brother, how come you have such a handsome face so long?" Han Yichen teased Mu Lige, who was sitting at the head of the table with his fingers tapping on the table, as soon as he entered the room.
"Third brother, Qingqing... is missing."
Han Yichen's beaming face made Mu Lige feel a little reluctant, but she still had to tell him the truth.
"Xiao Qingcheng is missing?"
Han Yichen's originally cheerful smile suddenly froze, and the jar in his arms slipped down. Fortunately, Situ Ye, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught it steadily, so that a jar of high-quality royal jelly was not wasted.
"Brother, what's going on? Why did Xiao Qingcheng disappear?" Han Yichen walked up and grabbed Mu Lige's arm.
"Third brother, let go of big brother!"
Situ Ye held the jar in one hand and pulled Han Yichen aside with the other, fearing that his excited third brother might hit him too hard and accidentally hurt his eldest brother.
"Third brother, your mother came this morning. After Qingqing met with her, she disappeared..." Mu Lige said concisely.
"Han Shuying?"
"I'm going to settle the score with her!"
Han Yichen's handsome face suddenly became very gloomy, and then he rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was sharpening his knife and ready to go out for a fight.
"return!"
"There are so many people here, where can you find him if you're aimlessly searching?" Mu Lige hurriedly stopped Han Yichen.
"But, brother, Xiao Qingcheng..." Han Yichen hesitated to speak.
Han Shuying was so cruel as to want to kill even his own son, let alone Hua Qingcheng who had no blood relationship with her?
"Take Xiaobai with you. Although it has rained and the smell may have been diluted a lot, you should still let it try it as much as possible!" Mu Lige reminded.
"good!"
Han Yichen hurried out of the front yard and came back in a moment. He grabbed the little white tiger in Yu Xiaotian's arms and threw it to the ground. Then he put an unwashed sock he found in Hua Qingcheng's room in front of the little white tiger's nose and shook it.
"A-choo! A-choo! A-choo!"
After the little white tiger sneezed several times, it took a step forward with its increasingly strong legs and walked out of the main room to the outside of the yard. Seeing this, Han Yichen hurriedly followed.
"Second brother, you should go with third brother as well."
"Yes, big brother." Upon hearing this, Situ Ye immediately followed Han Yichen's footsteps.
"Chengfeng, Xiaotian, Lao Qiu and Xiao Qiu, the rest of you should use the Hua residence as the center and search the village to see if you can find any useful clues."
"good."
"Yes, big brother."
"As you wish, Master."
Si Chengfeng, Yu Xiaotian and the Qiu family's grandparents and grandchildren also went to look for them according to Mu Lige's arrangements.
After everyone left, Mu Lige also fired a signal flare, summoning the nearby secret guards. A man in black clothes and a black scarf covering his face quickly arrived at the front hall of the Hua Mansion and knelt before Mu Lige.
