Zhang Yuan, along with Ayu, Ahou and Lao Wu, rode as fast as they could to Fanjiatun. As they rode fast, they met Fan Tiancheng and his wife halfway.
Old Wu hurriedly stopped them and introduced them.
"Uncle, aunt, this is General Zhang from Prince Yu's Mansion. He will go with you to Fanjiatun to bring the second young lady home."
Daya gritted her teeth and looked at Old Wu, rolling her eyes and snorting coldly.
"The people in Prince Yu's Mansion are really impatient. Do they want to save the reward silver?"
Zhang Yuan looked at her coldly, snorted disdainfully, and said in a cold voice:
"As long as the Second Young Lady is safe, you will receive the reward. Lead the way quickly."
Hearing this, Daya's face instantly lit up with joy. She seemed to see a lot of silver dangling in front of her. She climbed onto the carriage happily and ordered Fan Tiancheng to lead the way quickly.
Zhang Yuan and Empress A Yu were very disdainful of this powerful woman who was greedy for money, but in order to find the second young lady as soon as possible, they did not want to waste time talking to her. If the second young lady was really in their house, they believed that the prince and princess would be happy to reward them with silver.
Starting from the morning, Luo Lan and Leng Yu conducted a carpet search along the places where An An might have fallen. Leng Yu also asked Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Shuangzi, Xiao Tanzi, and Xiao Ningzi to each bring a team of people and search in several directions. They agreed that whoever had news would set off fireworks as a signal.
Luo Lan and Leng Yu rode on horseback, heading south, looking around as they went, not daring to relax at all.
Luo Lan was in a very heavy mood at this moment. She was afraid to see An An, but she was also eager to see her.
She knew better than anyone that a child that young, lost in the wilderness for more than ten days, must be in great danger. If she were to be seen on this road, it would only be her corpse, and the hope of her being alive would be very slim.
But if she couldn't find her, she would worry that she had been eaten by wild beasts, leaving not even a bone behind.
The longer she searched for An An, the more bad thoughts echoed in her mind, making her feel that the day was gray and without a trace of sunshine.
At this time, Xiao Lingzi came riding on horseback.
"Report..."
Luo Lan, who had been hanging her head, suddenly became alert. She and Leng Yu looked at Xiao Lingzi together.
"Any news?"
Xiao Lingzi nodded happily,
"Yes, I just received a letter from home saying that the second young lady might be in Fanjiatun. Zhang Yuan has already rushed there with Ayu and Empress, and they asked us to go there as well."
"Really?"
When Luo Lan heard the news, she felt like she was struck by great joy. She burst into tears of joy. Leng Yu also waved to the soldiers behind him.
"Everyone, get on your horses and head to Fanjiatun."
After saying that, he slapped the horse's butt hard and shouted "Go!", and the horse started to move forward and galloped away.
Luo Lan felt that this was the best news she had heard since An An was lost. Facing the wind, she couldn't wait to ask:
"Sir, how far is Fanjiatun from the capital?"
"It's about half a day's journey. If we ride fast, we'll be there before dark."
"That's great! I really want to fly there and hug An An. She must miss me."
At this point, her eyes became red again and tears slid down her cheeks.
What was different from the past was that this time the tears were warm and full of joy.
A group of people, led by Leng Yu, headed straight for Fanjiatun at the speed of an arrow.
At this time, Zhang Yuan, A Yu and A Hou had already arrived at the entrance of Fanjiatun Village. Fan Tiancheng and Daya drove the carriage at full speed, but were still left behind by them.
When Old Wu brought them to the door of Fan Tiancheng's house, it was unusually quiet. Zhang Yuan rushed into the yard impatiently, shouting,
"An An...Second Miss..."
"An An, I'm Uncle Zhang Yuan, are you here?"
“An An…”
He called out a few times, but there was no response from the yard. Just as he was looking at Old Wu in confusion, Daya and Fan Tiancheng ran into the yard.
Daya was afraid that the reward she had received would be lost, so she came to Zhang Yuan impatiently and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, this child has lost her memory and doesn't remember who she is. She's also timid. If you yell like that, it's sure to scare her. She might be hiding. I'm going to go find her now."
"Keep the change, please. "
Just as she turned her head, Dayaniang came out from the west wing, leaning on a wooden stick.
"I sent that girl away."
"What?"
This sentence was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Daya.
She ran to the woodshed in disbelief, then to the house. After searching every corner of the yard, she sat down on the ground, slapped her thighs with her hands, and cried out in despair:
"Mother, how could you let her go? She's a treasure trove!"
Zhang Yuan was not interested in seeing her crying. He looked at Dayaniang and asked anxiously:
"Auntie, when did An An leave? Which direction did she go?"
Dayaniang glanced at Zhang Yuan and the people behind him, then shook her head.
"have no idea."
"Auntie, we are not bad people. We are An An's family. Please tell us which direction she went and we will chase her. Maybe we can catch up with her."
"I can't catch up with her. She left this morning and I think she's already gone far away."
Fan Tiancheng swung his arms and said anxiously:
"There are only two roads here, north and south. Going north is the capital. We didn't run into her along the way, so she must have gone south."
Zhang Yuan looked at Fan Tiancheng and asked seriously:
