Seeing that Hua Cui had not come out of the side room for a long time, Chunxing's bad premonition grew stronger. She hurriedly went in, only to find Hua Cui sitting on the ground.
Inside the house, all the things that the lady usually arranged were neatly placed in their proper places, but they did not see the lady at all.
Where is the lady?
If she is not resting in her room, nor is she fiddling with these medicines in the side room, then where is she right now?
Where else could she go?
Chunxing cautiously stepped forward, her voice trembling as she asked Huacui.
"Sister Hua Cui, where is Madam? Don't you know where Madam went? Please don't scare me! Madam was resting last night, how could she suddenly disappear!"
Hua Cui turned her head away, her face deathly pale.
He opened his mouth, but the words that came out were trembling.
"Go find her! Don't reveal this to anyone yet. Immediately notify everyone in the courtyard to go find the young lady. Make sure to search the entire General's Mansion."
"Oh, and remember to inform Granny Song. She's the only elderly person in this courtyard; she might have a way to find Miss!"
Although Hua Cui was nervous, she also knew that if her mistress was really gone, she would be her mistress's only hope, so she had to calm down.
Upon receiving the order, Chunxing nodded quickly and ran out.
She was so anxious that she didn't see where she was going and fell to the ground with a thud.
Ignoring the pain, I got up and kept running...
The wind whistled in her ears, and she dared not stop for a moment. She walked to the servants in the courtyard and spoke to them in a low voice.
Everyone's face showed fear and shock. They immediately turned around and went out to search, and no one dared to say a word.
After all, with the lady missing, they, as servants, were naturally the first to be suspected and would inevitably be punished.
Nobody wants this to happen to them...
Therefore, the most urgent task is to find Jiang Mingwei as soon as possible; nothing else matters!
Hua Cui stumbled to her feet and walked back into the room, carefully observing everything inside.
Yesterday, all the doors and windows were closed, and she slept on the small couch outside. If there had been any unusual activity inside, she should have been able to hear it.
Why is there no sound at all?
After searching for a long time, she soon spotted an inconspicuous mark on the door.
Extremely small, like incense burning through the window paper, then seeping through the flowers.
She was suddenly startled!
Could it be that someone lit sleeping incense here last night, then drugged her and the young lady before taking the young lady away?
After much thought, it seems that only this possibility can explain the young lady's disappearance...
But who exactly is it?
How dare they sneak into the general's mansion at night and kidnap the young lady!
Hua Cui became increasingly terrified as she thought about it, her body trembling uncontrollably.
She stood in the room, tears blurring her vision, and forcefully pinched her thumb and forefinger to stop the tears from falling.
She mustn't cry, she absolutely mustn't cry!
Crying won't help now; finding the young lady as quickly as possible is the most important thing.
But who can help Miss? Should she go find the young master?
Although he didn't get along with the young lady, he had helped her when she fell off the cliff.
But what if she thinks that the young lady has been kidnapped and has brought shame to the Jiang family, and refuses to rescue her, and even forbids me from calling for help?
Could it be... that we should go find the Second Master, or perhaps the First Lady and the Lady of Huaiguo?
The Grand Princess is ultimately too far away, and without Miss's introduction, it's uncertain whether Hua Cui will even be able to meet her.
After much deliberation, Hua Cui gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, finally making up her mind to go find Wei Jing.
Perhaps Second Master has a way to find Miss!
After all, the Second Master had already helped Miss so much when she fell off the cliff.
This time, he will definitely be willing to help Miss!
Without thinking twice, Hua Cui rushed out of the room, not daring to linger for even a moment.
Just then, Granny Song came out anxiously. She met Hua Cui's eyes and, seeing the girl's flustered appearance, knew that what Chunxing had told her was true—Jiang Mingwei had indeed disappeared!
How could a perfectly healthy person disappear in the general's mansion?
This was no small matter, so she went to find Wei Jing.
Seeing Hua Cui rushing out, one could tell that she was also going to find Wei Jing.
"You're coming with me!"
Granny Song's voice was cold and low, yet it carried an undeniable command.
Hua Cui was already completely lost, so it was naturally a good thing that someone was willing to help her. She quickly nodded and followed in Song Mama's footsteps.
The two went together to find Wei Jing.
Wei Jing was in his study when Qingfeng knocked on the door and entered, speaking to him.
"General, Granny Song and Miss Hua Cui have arrived. They look anxious; something must have happened."
Upon hearing that the two had arrived, Wei Jing was slightly taken aback.
Granny Song and Hua Cui have arrived, but Jiang Mingwei hasn't. Something must have happened to her!
My heart leaped into my throat in an instant.
The unease I had forcibly suppressed yesterday surged back into my heart at this moment...
He frowned and immediately had Qingfeng bring the two of them in.
However, as soon as she entered the house, Hua Cui immediately collapsed to the ground.
Tears streamed down her face as she repeatedly kowtowed to Wei Jing, her face filled with fear and unease.
"Second Master, please, please save Miss! She's disappeared! She's vanished!"
"What did you say? My sister-in-law has disappeared?"
Wei Jing thought Jiang Mingwei had been summoned by Zhou Shi to be tormented again, but he was shocked when Hua Cui came in.
He looked shocked, his face filled with disbelief.
Hua Cui nodded repeatedly, but upon seeing Wei Jing, she burst into tears, unable to speak coherently.
Helpless, Granny Song explained on her behalf: "Early this morning, Hua Cui and Chun Xing went to wake Madam up, but they found her room empty. They searched the courtyard from top to bottom, but couldn't find any trace of Madam in any of the rooms."
"She's not in the courtyard. People have been sent to look for her, but it's unlikely. She was probably taken out of the General's Mansion by someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng was greatly shocked and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Such a thing has happened? What kind of thief is so audacious as to kidnap the First Madam of the General's Mansion?!"
Wei Jingmo's eyes were deep and dark, his face deathly still.
Looking at Hua Cui, who was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, he asked in a cold voice.
"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail! You can cry, but you have to explain things clearly first. Otherwise, if you don't tell me, your sister-in-law will be in more danger. You came to me, do you want me to save her, or do you want to harm her?"
Wei Jing's voice was cold and imposing, like a biting wind that made people shiver.
Hua Cui was so startled by him that she even forgot to cry.
He hunched his shoulders and nodded repeatedly.
Wipe away your tears, take a deep breath, and then begin to tell your story.
"What Granny Song just said is all what I saw today, and I also discovered something important!"
