Chapter 409: Sister Cheng was kidnapped

Cen Yueyi was not a woman with a fiery temper. She was strong and kind, and even after encountering these things, she never thought about how to retaliate, but just made herself more careful.

At this moment, Xing Xing heard Cen Yueyi saying in a comforting tone, "It will be fine after the New Year," and couldn't help but ask, "...Sister Cen, have you ever thought about fighting back?"

Cen Yueyi touched Xingxing's little head, smiled lonely, but said nothing.

What could she do? She had to use her own method to retaliate, destroying her step-sister's reputation and making it impossible for her step-mother to get married?

But what good is this for her?

Her family has a bad reputation. Will she be able to hold her head up high after marrying into the Yu family?

Cen Yueyi merely frowned and changed the subject, then took out a handkerchief with a smile on it. On the handkerchief was embroidered a branch of apricot blossom and a few delicate apricot petals, which seemed to be blown up by the wind and swirled tenderly.

"I embroidered it for you. Do you like it?"

Xingxing took the handkerchief. The satin was soft, and the embroidery on it was delicate and clean. It was obvious how much care the person who embroidered it had put in.

She rubbed the apricot against her face and felt very comfortable. She took it as if it were a treasure and looked at Cen Yueyi earnestly with her eyes as bright as stars: "Thank you, Sister Cen, I like it very much. You are so kind to me."

Cen Yueyi couldn't help laughing again: "A handkerchief, is that what you said? Compared with the box of medicine you prepared for me, this is nothing."

Xing Xing said seriously: "It depends on your sincerity."

Cen Yueyi pursed her lips and smiled, but in her heart she was thinking, such a good girl, no wonder everyone in the Yu family dotes on her.

Two days ago, Cen Yuehua came here and said something weird. Everyone outside knows that the Yu family dotes on Yu Xingxing like the apple of their eye. Since ancient times, sisters-in-law have been difficult to deal with. Even though she seems to be nice to you now, wait until you marry into the family, and you will know how troublesome such a sister-in-law is.

Cen Yueyi just smiled at the time and didn't take Cen Yuehua's provocation to heart at all. She dismissed Cen Yuehua with just a few words.

Now, Cen Yueyi was planning on picking out one of the estates that was easy to manage and profitable among her dowry to give to Xingxing when she married into the Yu family.

Although she knew that Xingxing might not need her to own a manor, for a girl, the more dowry she had, the better.

After Xingxing came out of Jiang Taihou's mansion, she asked the driver to go to Fan Pingfang's shop.

Fan Pingfang recently bought a shop that specialized in selling rouge and perfume for women, and it was doing very well. She wanted to help An Ningxin, and An Ningxin didn't want to live off her wealth, so the two of them hit it off, and Fan Pingfang hired An Ningxin to help out in the shop.

When Xingxing passed by, Fan Pingfang and An Ningxin were entertaining guests. Xingxing also went over to see what was going on. Seeing the female guest trying a new rouge on her face, Xingxing exclaimed, "This sister, this color suits you so well. Look, after you put it on, it looks like clouds in the mountains, and your complexion has improved immediately."

The female guest couldn't help but look at Xingxing. Xingxing was cute and charming, a real beauty. When she said this, her almond eyes were curved, and she looked very convincing.

In addition, the way Xingxing was dressed, one could tell at a glance that she was a darling raised in a wealthy family. The fact that she praised it so affirmatively showed that it must be true.

The female guest was delighted and waved her hand: "Buy!"

The female guest tried some more Luozidai, and Xingxing praised her eyebrows, saying that they were as green as spring mountains and as beautiful as Xi Shi's tears. The female guest was so happy that she said, "I'll buy some too!"

In the end, the female customer bought a box of rouge and powder.

Fan Pingfang smiled widely: "I really want to use a golden cage to lock Xingxing in the store. Then let Xingxing help me run the business."

Xing Xing chuckled, then looked at An Ningxin, and said sincerely: "Madam An, you have seen a lot!"

An Ningxin's current appearance is completely different from when she was weak and pale after giving birth.

More importantly, An Ningxin's eyes used to be dull and gloomy, but now they seem to be reborn.

Xingxing was talking to Fan Pingfang and An Ningxin when she saw Xiaoqi, the maid who was left in Fan Pingfang's courtyard to look after the children, running over in a hurry with an anxious look on her face.

Xiaoqi had barely caught his breath and was calling out "wife" anxiously.

An Ningxin's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried over to him, "Xiaoqi, what's wrong? Take a breath and talk slowly."

Xiao Qi didn't care about catching his breath, his face was extremely ugly: "Cheng, Cheng Jieer was, was kidnapped!"

An Ningxin shook her body and grabbed Xiaoqi's arm: "How could it be?! Who, who took Cheng Jie away?!"

Xiaoqi took a few deep breaths and was about to cry: "Madam, I don't know. I just brought Hao back to the house to coax him to sleep, and I heard Chengjie, who was playing in the yard outside, call out briefly. The sound stopped abruptly, as if someone covered her mouth. I quickly got off the bed and ran out, but there was no trace of Chengjie. At the gate of the yard, there was only one shoe that Chengjie was wearing--"

Xiao Qi's face turned pale, and she knelt down in front of An Ningxin, "I shouldn't have left Sister Cheng to play outside alone! It's all my fault!"

An Ningxin's body shook.

These days, she untied the knot in her heart, tried to accept Cheng Jie'er, and worked hard to be a qualified mother. But after just a few days, how come Cheng Jie'er was kidnapped? !

If Qin Anbo wanted to capture someone, he should have captured Hao Ge'er, because he is his biological son. How could he have captured Cheng Jie'er?!

Could it be that he is a human trafficker?

In an instant, countless images of the tragic end of those abducted girls flashed through An Ningxin's mind. Her face turned pale and she almost fainted.

Fan Pingfang and Xing Xing each supported An Ningxin.

Fan Pingfang comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll close the shop now and go back with you to find Xiao Ancheng."

An Ningxin nodded in panic, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood: "Okay, okay!"

She murmured to herself, "It's fine. The capital is very safe, how could anything go wrong? It's definitely fine."

Somehow, Xingxing suddenly remembered the news about the bandits that her uncle and his friends had heard at the manor. After hesitating for a moment, she still didn't tell An Ningxin about the bandits.

She just said, "I'll go and help too. I'll bring my servants with me and ask them to help look around."

An Ningxin nodded in panic.

The group hurried back to Fan Pingfang's courtyard. The door was locked tightly. It was only after Fan Pingfang knocked on the door that the maid who was on duty in the courtyard quickly opened the door.

Lingjie'er and Haoge'er were still sleeping in bed, but Chengjie'er only had one small shoe left.

An Ningxin didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly separated from Xingxing and the others, calling Cheng Jie'er's name everywhere, and asking passers-by if they had seen Cheng Jie'er.

It was dusk when they found their way there. An Ningxin had shouted herself hoarse, but there was no sign of Cheng Jie'er.

An Ningxin returned to the courtyard dejectedly. Looking at the shoe left by Cheng Jie'er, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears while holding the little shoe.
