Although Fan Shi did not admit to doing anything to Er Ya and San Ya, Lin Qi was still uneasy.
Yang Cui was frantically searching for Er Ya and San Ya; something must have happened!
Lin Qi wasn't worried about Er Ya and San Ya, but mainly she was afraid that if something happened, Yang Cui would blame the Lin family. Yang Cui was already a formidable woman, and now she had an even more menacing fiancé. It was truly terrifying!
Lin Qi wiped his sweat and immediately ran to find Lin Sanjin to discuss the matter.
At that time, Yang Cui, Cen Xiao, and Dao San went to Baoshan Village in an oxcart.
The oxcart traveled very fast, and arrived at Baoshan Village in about 45 minutes.
Yang Cui went straight to the Pu family's house and bumped into Lin Lizhi who was about to leave.
Lin Lizhi was very surprised to see Yang Cui, and her feelings were complicated. On the one hand, she felt that her mother and brothers had let Yang Cui and the children down. On the other hand, Yang Cui had ruined the reputation of the Lin family. So when she saw Yang Cui, she didn't know how to face her.
Where is Pu Xiangjuan?
"What do you want with Xiangjuan?" Lin Lizhi asked, her face full of surprise.
"I need to ask her something. Please call her out."
"I sent her to deliver fruit to my mother today, but she hasn't come back yet. What do you want with her?"
"They're not back yet?" Yang Cui exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing Yang Cui like this, Lin Lizhi asked anxiously, "Has something happened?"
Lin Lizhi's expression didn't seem fake. Could it be that it wasn't the Lin family who did it? Were they unaware?
Cen Xiao and Yang Cui exchanged a glance, and then Yang Cui asked, "Have you received any letters?"
"What letter? I didn't receive a letter! Did something happen to Xiangjuan?" Lin Lizhi was extremely worried, her face filled with concern.
“Er Ya and San Ya are missing. I heard they were with Xiang Juan, so I came here specifically to ask Xiang Juan.”
"Gone? How could it just disappear like that?"
"I had just finished the wedding banquet and was about to go back home, but I couldn't find anyone, and they weren't home either. I was a little worried." Yang Cui concealed the fact that she had received a threatening letter.
Lin Lizhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe they're going somewhere for fun. Look how nervous you are."
As Yang Cui said this, she stared intently into Lin Lizhi's eyes and noticed that after hearing these things, Lin Lizhi was neither guilty nor nervous; she simply felt that nothing would happen to the child.
Yang Cui reminded Lin Lizhi, "You should also go and look for them quickly. It would be best if nothing happened."
Lin Lizhi disagreed, even thinking that Yang Cui was making a mountain out of a molehill.
After leaving the Pu family's residence, Cen Xiao said to Yang Cui, "I'll accompany you to Wan'an County. You stay here, Lao San, and keep an eye on the Pu family."
"You suspect the Pu family?" Yang Cui said. "I don't think Lin Lizhi would kidnap Er Ya and San Ya."
"I just wanted to confirm whether Pu Xiangjuan would come back."
If she returns, Pu Xiangjuan might be able to provide some information; if she doesn't return, it means she was also arrested along with her.
It was already past 3:45 PM, and Yang Cui had to enter the city now. Otherwise, once the city gates were closed, she would be unable to enter and would be unable to keep her appointment. Not only might the kidnappers kill her, but they might also fail to catch the kidnappers.
When they arrived in the county town, it was exactly 5 PM, several hours before the agreed time. Yang Cui was restless.
Waiting is always the hardest part.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright. You and the baby will be fine," Cen Xiao reassured her. "Let's find a place to rest first."
"How can I be in the mood to rest right now!"
"Don't worry, I've got everything covered."
Hearing this, Yang Cui felt a warmth in her heart. She had been in the world of the book for so long and had encountered so many things, always facing them alone with a strong face. This was the first time someone had said to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Cen Xiao took Yang Cui to the Star Gazing Tower. Not long after, Su Murong arrived, accompanied by a beautiful woman who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.
"What happened?" Su Murong asked. "You actually asked me for Yutang!"
After she finished speaking, the woman named Yu Tang respectfully bowed to Cen Xiao: "Master Xiao."
Cen Xiao handed the document Yang Cui had received to Yu Tang. After reading it, Yu Tang guessed Cen Xiao's intention.
She said, "Does Master want me to impersonate this young lady and go to the City God Temple for our appointment?"
"That's right."
Yang Cui never expected that Cen Xiao would find a substitute for her without saying a word!
"No!" Yang Cui immediately stood up to object. "Wouldn't that be too dangerous for this young lady? If something happens, the consequences would be unimaginable! I can't drag her into this. I'll go myself!"
If something were to happen, Yang Cui would never have peace of mind for the rest of her life.
"She knows kung fu; three or five ordinary thugs and bandits are no match for her, and it's her duty as a bodyguard!"
"Guards?"
Su Yutang stepped forward and said, "Please rest assured, young lady, I have practiced martial arts since childhood, I will be fine."
Su Yutang did not expect Yang Cui to react so strongly. As a maid, she was deeply moved to receive such concern for her life and safety.
"But what if..."
Su Murong: "If you go, there might be a chance of something going wrong; if she goes, she'll definitely succeed immediately."
Yang Cui could tell from Su Murong's words that he had a strong sense of disdain for her.
“I will send people to secretly follow and assist you, so don’t worry,” Cen Xiao said.
In the end, Yang Cui was persuaded. Yang Cui and Su Yutang swapped clothes, and Yang Cui styled Su Yutang's hair into a high ponytail and removed all her head ornaments. This was Yang Cui's usual style.
The two were about the same height and build, and in the dark of night, it was difficult to tell them apart without looking closely at their faces.
Before Su Yutang left, Yang Cui was worried and repeatedly told her to be careful in everything she did.
Yang Cui actually wanted to follow behind, but Cen Xiao wouldn't allow it, saying that too many people would easily alert the enemy, and Su Murong had sent someone skilled in tracking to secretly assist Su Yutang, so Yang Cui didn't go.
