It’s four days until New Year’s Eve.
Bai Run couldn't open the mechanism box that Wen Xingzhi gave him.
She was no longer so excited about the gift. If she wasn't afraid of damaging the contents, she would have even wanted to find a machete and chop it open.
Bai Runyi's life was full of fleeting enthusiasm, so she soon threw the box into a corner.
"Chun Tao, let's go shopping."
Bai Runyi sat at her dressing table and meticulously dressed herself. She applied a light touch of makeup, drew on her slender eyebrows, painted her lips a delicate red, and pinned a delicate pearl flower to her bun. The reflection in the mirror made her look even more charming and charming.
Afterwards, the master and servant went out, chatting and laughing. A small maid followed behind Bai Runyi, holding a small purse in her hand, her face filled with a cheerful smile. Bai Runyi was wearing a light pink silk dress, the hem of which swayed slightly with her light steps, like a blooming peach blossom.
"Wait a moment, Miss." Chuntao suddenly called out to Bai Runyi, "The city has been uneasy lately. Should we bring a few more guards?"
"There's no need. I'm the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. Who dares to arrest me? Besides, if I were really kidnapped, you can go find Shen Qing. She will definitely rescue me!"
Wouldn't catching her be like walking into a trap?
But she hadn't considered that some people really didn't know her.
It was not until Bai Runyi slowly woke up from the chaos and found himself in a dark, damp, dilapidated house with a rotten smell, with a dirty piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth, that the disbelief in his heart instantly turned into deep fear.
Only then did she finally realize that someone really dared to kidnap her!
Her head was groggy as she struggled to recall what had happened. She tried to get up, but found her hands and feet were tightly bound with thick ropes, unable to move at all. The rough ropes cut into her delicate skin, causing waves of stinging pain.
Bai Runyi tried to remain calm while observing his surroundings.
Don't panic, don't panic...
Who the hell wouldn't be panicking! She wanted to cry!
Help! Dad! Mom! Shen Qing!
"Clang!"
The door of the dilapidated house was pushed open, and two men in black walked in. Suddenly, a cold wind blew in, making her shrink involuntarily.
The pockmarked man stepped forward and roughly pulled Bai Runyi up.
"Master, it's hard to find good seedlings these days, and this one has the best conditions."
"Hmm, not bad..."
“Mmmm…” No, no, no, I’m not a good candidate!
Ma Zi glanced at Chen Yue and reached out to take the cloth ball out of her mouth.
"Ahem, my father is the Minister of Rites, and I am the eldest daughter of the Minister's Mansion. You know Lord Jiang, the Minister of Justice, right? He is my friend. How dare you kidnap me..."
Before she could finish her words, Ma Zi raised his hand and slapped her in the face, and her delicate skin immediately became red and swollen.
"Damn it, you still dare to mention Jiang Zhuo? It's all because of his strict investigation, otherwise would it be so difficult for our master to do business?"
Bai Runyi's tears suddenly flowed down.
It hurts so much. I shouldn’t have mentioned Jiang Zhuo!
"Who told you to touch her?" Chen Yue glared at Ma Zi. "Such a good piece of clay, if we peel it off and make it into a human skin drum, the sound will surely be wonderful..."
Bai Runyi's eyes were full of fear.
Who wouldn’t be scared when facing such a pervert!
"You, if you let me go, I'll give you money! I'll give you as much as you want!"
"No, no, no." Chen Yue shook his head. "Using the skin of a beautiful woman to make a human skin drum, the sound of the drum is priceless. This is called art."
Bai Runyi was almost going crazy. What did a pervert like him know about art?
"Go and prepare a separate bath tub for Miss Shangshu. Don't let other people's used things dirty her good skin." Chen Yue instructed Ma Zi.
"Yes, Master."
"Miss Bai, please have a good rest."
After Chen Yue finished speaking, he turned around and left the dilapidated house, locking the door.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is locked or not. He thinks Bai Runyi can’t get out.
When Chuntao turned around and couldn't find Bai Runyi, she knew that something must have happened to her. She hurried to find the Shangshu. After waiting for a day without any results, she went to the general's mansion.
There are still three days until New Year's Eve.
"Please take me to find Miss Shen." Chun Tao said anxiously to the guards at the general's mansion. "My lady has an urgent matter!"
"Don't worry, girl. Just follow me."
When the guard saw Chuntao was so anxious, he turned around and took her to Wangyuexuan.
"Don't worry, the young lady should be home by now. Turn the corner and you'll find her Wangyuexuan."
"Thank you, sir."
Unfortunately, the two met Cheng Xue on the road who was picking plums and preparing to cook wine.
"stop."
The guard stopped and saluted Cheng Xue, "Madam."
"What's the rush?"
"Madam, this is Miss Bai's maid. She has something urgent to tell Miss."
Cheng Xue frowned slightly, "What's the urgent matter?"
"Madam, our young lady is missing. I suspect she was kidnapped by the recent murderer, so I came to ask Miss Shen for help."
This kind of thing should be reported to the government. What can Shen Qing do to help her? Don't get yourself into trouble for nothing and also implicate the General's Mansion.
"Shen Qing is not here, I asked her to go out shopping for me."
"Ah, madam, the eldest lady has not left the house..." The guard was puzzled. He was on duty today and did not see the eldest lady leave the house from morning to night!
Cheng Xue glared at the guard, who lowered his head.
"This, Madam, our young lady..."
Chuntao was a little anxious. Bai Runyi said that Shen Qing could definitely save her!
“Okay, let’s go to the government for this kind of thing. Shen Qing can’t solve it.”
Chuntao turned her head and glanced unwillingly in the direction the guard had pointed.
Just a little bit more!
"Miss Shen! Please save our young lady! Miss Shen! Shen uh…"
Cheng Xue signaled Qiu Lu to cover Chun Tao's mouth and took her out.
"You brought him in without asking why. If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?" Cheng Xue scolded the guard with a cold face. "I'll deduct half a month's salary from you this time. Don't do it again next time."
The guard watched Cheng Xue's departing back and gritted his teeth secretly.
He was still waiting to take the money back to buy New Year's goods for his family, but Cheng Xue suddenly deducted half a month's salary from him.
If you don't go to see your daughter when she is sick or injured, you are just meddling in other people's business!
The guard took advantage of Cheng Xue's inattention, turned around, and quietly went to Wangyuexuan.
In Wangyuexuan, Qingge was checking the new clothes that Shen Qing had ordered.
"Miss, this color is so pretty! You're sure to stun many gentlemen when you wear it!"
Qingge pointed to a pomegranate red jacket and skirt and said.
"You mean, I won't be attractive if I don't wear it?"
Chen Qing raised his eyes to glance at the clothes Qingge was holding, then closed the book, supported his head with his hands and looked at her with a distracted look.
"She's charming even without any clothes on, but wearing this is definitely the icing on the cake!"
"Not bad, and you'll even say it's the icing on the cake."
The two were chatting when Qingwu ran in hurriedly.
"Miss, the guard said he has something urgent to ask you!"
