When Zhao Jiao rejected Yao Zhangshi's marriage proposal, Yao Qingfeng couldn't contain himself and went directly to Su Ruojin, wanting to cultivate a relationship in private. As a result, he returned to Yuzhou covered in rashes.
He couldn't understand why he had suddenly developed a rash, and thought it was due to a change in environment.
Only now, after hearing Su Ruojin's words, did I realize that all of this was thanks to her.
"So it was you!" Yao Qingfeng looked at Su Ruojin in disbelief.
Su Ruojin didn't even glance at him before leaving.
"What kind of behavior is this!" Yao Zhangshi cursed angrily.
"Mother, what does it mean that Cousin Ruojin said she has no relation to the Lin family anymore? Does that mean she's no longer the eldest daughter of the Lin family?" Yao Huihui realized this at this moment.
Madam Yao hadn't been to the Lin residence for a long time, so she was unaware that the Lin family had kicked Su Ruojin out.
"After we finish offering incense, we'll go visit your aunt," Yao Zhangshi said.
If Su Ruojin really has nothing to do with the Lin family anymore, then she shouldn't even dream of marrying into the Yao family.
Yao Qingfeng is seventeen years old this year. He has failed the imperial examination five times. Madam Yao Zhang came to Jinming Temple to burn incense for her son to pray for a better future. She also went to the Lin residence to ask Lin Zhengshan for some guidance.
Zen monasteries always bring peace of mind. Su Ruojin returned to her room and felt relaxed, quickly falling asleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory, followed by the sound of a swift wind.
"Miss, Miss, something has happened."
Su Ruojin suddenly opened her eyes, got out of bed, and opened the door: "What's wrong?"
I'm going back to Yanyang tomorrow. Unless it's something extremely urgent, Fengying wouldn't come looking for me in the middle of the night.
Feng Ying said anxiously, "Miss, Old Madam Lin is missing. We've searched all over Yanyang but haven't found her."
Su Ruojin's heart tightened: "What's going on! Hasn't Grandmother always been staying at the clinic?"
“Yes, around 3 PM, the old lady said she was going to Yueji to buy some dried apricots, and then she never came back,” Fengying said.
Yueji's dried fruit shop is right on the street, not far from the clinic. Even if you want to chat with the neighbors, a round trip will only take half an hour at most.
Previously, Madam Lin often went to buy dried fruit herself, and nothing ever happened.
But today, Madam Lin went out and didn't come back for almost an hour. Zhihua went out to look for her, but the owner of Yueji said that Madam Lin had bought dried fruit and left about 45 minutes ago.
Zhihua asked the neighbors along the way, but they all said they had not seen Madam Lin.
Zhihua panicked and ordered all the maids and servants in the clinic to come out and search for the person, but they searched most of Yanyang City without finding any news.
With the young lady not around, Zhihua had no choice but to contact the Dark Alliance using a secret code. Finally, she found a bag of dried apricots scattered on the ground near a small grove of trees outside the city.
Only then did everyone realize that something had happened to Old Madam Lin!
Zhihua dared not delay and sent Fengying to Jinming Temple to inform the young lady as soon as possible.
"Let's go back to the city!"
Not wanting to disturb Madam Zhong in the middle of the night, Su Ruojin asked a young novice monk at the temple to deliver a message, and the three of them hurried back to Yanyang.
By the time the group returned to Yanyang, it was already dawn. Su Ruojin asked Fengying to find the people from the Yanyang Dark Alliance.
"Your subordinate He Huan greets the Alliance Leader." A man dressed like an ordinary farmer knelt on one knee before Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin waved her hand: "Get up and answer me. What exactly happened?"
He Huan stood up and said, "I led the brothers of the Dark Alliance to search everywhere, and finally found a pile of scattered dried apricots and this by the river outside the city." He took an object out of his pocket.
