"In this case, it's really risky for this woman to fall into Leng Yu's hands. What should we do now?"
Leng Xi pondered for a moment, frowned deeply, waved his hand, and said hatefully:
"Why not just cut the grass and eradicate it completely? To prevent future troubles..."
Leng Xi's words made Yuan Gang stunned for a moment.
"Where's Yang Feng?"
"We can solve it together, but we have to get the jade seal first. So, go to Zuiyue Tower now and get Xiaohui's indenture from the madam. Tonight, bring more people with you to exchange with Yang Feng. Once you have the jade seal, we can kill him directly."
"Who will do it with Xiaohui?"
Leng Xi half-closed his eyes and snorted coldly.
"Xiaohui, give it to Zhuhua. She wants to find Huang Yun's whereabouts. In exchange..."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
After receiving the order, Yuan Gang left quickly.
There was a hint of coldness in Leng Xi's eyes.
…
In the main hall of Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Luo Lan sat upright, looking at the woman standing in front of her. Her beautiful figure and exquisite face made her a beauty that could make any man fall in love with her.
However, Luo Lan had no intention of appreciating her deliberate flirting, and instead asked directly in a cold voice:
"Tell me, what is your relationship with Huang Yun?"
Xiaohui looked at her as if she didn't understand.
"Who is Huang Yun?"
"Don't play dumb. What's your relationship with the person you met at Tianxiang Tower?"
Xiaohui rolled her eyes, shrugged and shook her head.
"I don't know him. He's just an ordinary guest of mine. He gave me some money, and I accompanied him to have a meal and chat. That's all."
"Ordinary guests? Then what did you talk about?"
"We were just chatting about some family matters. Oh, and he even said some shameless things to me. He wanted to spend a lot of money to sleep with me, but I refused. I, Xiaohui, am not someone who can sleep with anyone. I have principles."
"You're lying."
Seeing Xiaohui lying without blushing or beating her heart, Luo Lan's eyebrows showed a bit of disgust.
"He's a woman, how could he possibly sleep with you? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Hearing this, Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, then raised her handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth to hide her panic.
"Woman? How could he be a woman? I'm not blind, how can I tell a man from a woman? He's just a little more handsome. Princess Yu, please don't use this to deceive me. I dare not lie to you."
Seeing that the woman named Xiaohui answered her questions slowly, Luo Lan knew that she would not be able to get anything out of this woman today.
So, she raised her hand to Ah Hong,
"Lock her up and assign more people to watch her. No one is allowed to see her without my order and the prince's order."
"Yes, Princess."
After receiving the order, Ah Hong stepped forward, glared at her, and scolded her angrily:
"Walk."
Xiaohui shook the handkerchief in her hand, glanced at Luo Lan, turned around, and walked towards the door with Ahong.
Luo Lan's brows were twisted into a knot at this moment. She rested one hand on her forehead, half-closed her eyes, and thought hard about something.
"mother……"
Lele's voice came, and she hurriedly opened her eyes, "Lele, Yicheng, Xiaobao, what are you doing..."
"Mom, we just went to look for Sister An An, but we couldn't find her. Mom, is there any news from Dad?"
Luo Lan sighed and shook his head slightly.
"No……"
Yi Cheng rolled up his sleeves angrily.
"Let's go and look for it again."
"Don't run around. Your father and the others haven't found him yet. It's useless for you to go. Besides, Prince Yu's Mansion is not peaceful. It's better for you not to act rashly."
Xiaobao blinked his eyes.
"Aunt Si, I'm sorry. I know you and Uncle Si suspect my father, but I've looked for An An in Prince Xi's Mansion and haven't seen him. I don't think my father did this. Even if my father is a troublemaker, he wouldn't have locked Sister An An up. She's his niece!"
Xiaobao's words made Luo Lan's heart wrenched. She was not his biological niece at all, she was his biological daughter.
"I understand. You all should go back and rest. I'll go see your Uncle Ling."
Ever since the little twins were buried, she had been busy looking for An An and had not had time to ask about Xiao Lingzi's injuries.
After the children nodded, they left together. Luo Lan also raised his foot and walked quickly towards the backyard.
A woman from Zuiyue Tower was brought back to Prince Yu's Mansion. Yang Feng soon heard the news from Yi Cheng and Lele.
He immediately paced back and forth in the room anxiously, his heart beating wildly. He seemed to have anticipated that this woman was Xiaohui.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and he immediately looked towards the door alertly.
"who?"
"Mr. Yang, the hot water you requested is here."
“I didn’t ask for hot water…”
No, it was the voice of the maid Zhuhua. He hurried forward and opened the door.
Zhuhua was carrying a pot of hot water and walked into the house, saying:
"I'll add some freshly boiled water..."
Yang Feng looked outside and saw that there was no one around, so he looked at Zhuhua with relief.
"I heard that a woman was captured in the palace? What's going on? Who is she?"
Zhuhua raised her brows slightly and looked at him arrogantly.
"This matter has nothing to do with me. I'm here on behalf of Prince Xi to inform you that tonight at 11:45 PM, bring what he wants and go to him at the entrance of the alley. He will also give you what you want."
Yang Feng understood the meaning of these words, but he was not in the mood to think about them now. He asked in a low voice:
"I heard that a woman from Zuiyue Tower was captured and taken to the palace? Can you go and find out for me?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, but I only take orders from Princess Yunmeng and my master. I can't do anything about what you want to know."
"But you're delivering a message for Leng Xi. Isn't that what your master asked you to do?"
Zhuhua looked up at him and replied with a slight twitch of her lips:
"I delivered his message for the safety of Princess Yunmeng, that's all."
She suddenly raised her voice.
"Mr. Yang, the water has been changed. Please enjoy it."
Leaving these words behind, she turned around and walked away in a swagger.
Yang Feng had no mind to drink water, nor did he have the mind to consider Leng Xi's words. He was now eager to know whether the woman who was captured and brought into the palace was Xiaohui. If so, how should he save her?
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to go out and start walking around the mansion.
He had to find out where Xiaohui was being held before he could find a way to rescue her.
…
Another day passed without any news. Near dusk, Leng Yu returned to Prince Yu's Mansion exhausted. Seeing his listless appearance, Luo Lan knew that it would be no easy task to find An An.
Arriving in the study, Leng Yu spread out the straw paper, Luo Lan hurriedly ground the ink for him and asked softly,
"What do you want to write?"
"A reward is being offered for finding the missing person. Anyone who can provide clues about An An will receive a reward of 10,000 taels."
