Qin Niang was unfamiliar with Yuncheng, so it was impossible for her to disappear without a reason.
Su Ruojin guessed a possibility. If that was the case, she should not ask the Zhao family to look for someone, lest it bring even more trouble to her great-uncle.
"Xiao Die, has Qin Niang shown any unusual behavior these past few days, or has she seen any strange people?" Su Ruojin asked the maid who came to report Qin Niang and Yingzi's disappearance.
Xiaodie thought hard for a moment, then shook her head. "No, it's just the same as usual."
"Oh, I remember now." Xiao Die had just finished speaking when she suddenly remembered something and said, "The day before yesterday, Yingzi came back with red eyes. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she saw her father. Qin Niang was very nervous at the time. She pulled Yingzi over and told me that Yingzi had mistaken him for someone else, and then took Yingzi away."
Su Ruojin narrowed her eyes slightly, so Yingzi saw Yan Gang?
Wasn't the day before yesterday the day I met Yun Hao and Yan Gang at Yuehua Tower?
It's not impossible that Yingzi accidentally saw Yan Gang leaving Yuehua Tower.
"Xiaodie, you can go now. Remember, you mustn't mention this to anyone. Just pretend nothing happened."
"Yes, Miss."
After Xiaodie left, Su Ruojin took Yanluo and went out the door.
But this time Su Ruojin didn't see Yun Hao, and Jin Niangzi couldn't contact him either.
Yun Hao was an unpopular prince who had relatively free movement, so this situation rarely occurred.
Su Ruojin had a vague feeling that something was about to happen.
The most urgent task now is to find Qin Niang and her daughter. If, as I suspect, they have been captured by Princess Anxing's men, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it will become.
Su Ruojin has already sent out all ten secret guards. This time, the target is a princess of a country, making the search much more difficult than finding Steward Lu's son.
This further strengthened Su Ruojin's resolve to establish the Dark Alliance branch in Yuncheng as soon as possible; otherwise, the feeling of having no one to rely on and being completely clueless was truly unpleasant.
In the past, it would have been difficult to establish a branch in Yuncheng on my own, but now that the Zhao family is backing me, it is much more convenient.
Upon returning to the Zhao residence, Su Ruojin had just stepped down from the carriage when the gatekeeper greeted her, "Miss, Young Master Su has arrived."
Young Master Su?
Fifth Brother?
Su Ruojin hurried into the mansion and arrived at the front hall, where she saw her fifth brother chatting with her eldest cousin. The two seemed to be having a good conversation.
In fact, the Su family and the Zhao family have always had business dealings, and Su Yiting and Zhao Tingyi have also had some contact, but they can't be said to have a deep relationship.
Now that Su Ruojin is involved, the relationship between the two families has actually become closer, making it easier to discuss business cooperation.
"Fifth Brother, have you finished your business?" Su Ruojin was very happy.
She knew that her fifth brother had a lot of things to do in Yunqi and would definitely not stay in Yuncheng for long. She didn't expect that he would be gone for so long.
"Little sister, Father and Mother have written to urge me to bring you back soon, as the New Year is approaching."
After Su Yiting's reminder, Su Ruojin realized that it was already December, and it would take some time before she could return to Da Chu. It was indeed about time to go back to Da Chu.
"Brother Su, no rush, no rush. You just got back, it's not too late to stay a few more days. Besides, I still have some things I need to discuss with you in detail."
Now that Zhao Tingyi has become the head of the Zhao family, he needs to start thinking about the future of the Zhao family.
He had previously considered expanding his business to other countries, but due to limitations and health reasons, it remained just a plan in his mind.
But now things are different. He has met Su Yiting, who is Xiao Jin's blood relative and completely trustworthy. With such favorable conditions, his plan can be fully implemented.
Su Ruojin also understood Zhao Tingyi's meaning. If he joined forces with Fifth Brother, it would be a powerful alliance, and since they were located in two different countries, it would be a good thing for both the Zhao family and the Su family.
You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, and you can't limit your business to just one country.
She missed her parents too. Xiao Yanchu had written her a whole box of letters, so it would be a lie to say she didn't miss him.
But some things just have to be done.
"Fifth Brother, it's not easy for you to come to Yunqi. You should have a detailed talk with Cousin. I also have some things to take care of," Su Ruojin said.
