It was the first time that Dong Cong felt so afraid of someone. As the baby of the richest man's family, there was no shortage of people around him who pampered and coaxed him.
But even though Qingfeng was mean to Dong Cong, Dong Cong still liked Qingfeng because he was the son of Aunt Hua, now his godmother.
In the warm room in the front yard, Dong Mingshan met with County Magistrate Zhou.
"Thank you, Lord Zhou, for rescuing my child." Dong Mingshan bowed. Although County Magistrate Zhou was only a small county magistrate now, Dong Mingshan did not neglect him.
County Magistrate Zhou smiled and nodded. "Mr. Dong, you are too polite..."
Although the Zhou and Dong families were well-known to each other, they had no grudges against each other. When they were in the capital, they occasionally met, but there was no deep grudge between them.
"Your son was rescued by Madam Qian after she discovered something unusual and came to the county government to report it. I only knew about this after that." County Magistrate Zhou told the truth. The credit for rescuing Dong Cong belonged to Madam Qian, and he would not snatch it away, let alone try to snatch it away.
Dong Mingshan still smiled and thanked County Magistrate Zhou for sending Dong Cong here.
County Magistrate Zhou: "Master Dong, I will not beat around the bush. I want to ask you, can you find out who is behind your son's kidnapping?"
County Magistrate Zhou had to ask this question. He needed to confirm whether King Yongning was behind this.
Dong Mingshan's smile faded and he shook his head. "It's not clear yet. But one thing is certain, it's not the work of one or two people."
County Magistrate Zhou: "Master Dong, I suggest that your son's search for the thief be kept secret for the time being. We can continue to lure the snake out of its hole."
Dong Mingshan nodded. He would not feel at ease unless the person behind the scenes was found out. Otherwise, he would come to kidnap his family members every once in a while. He also did not want to live in fear for a long time.
The two discussed how to lure the snake out of its hole, and decided what to do next and how they should cooperate with each other.
After the discussion, County Magistrate Zhou rubbed his brows. A night of running around made him physically and mentally exhausted.
"Mr. Zhou, please take a rest first. I will go down to make arrangements." Seeing that County Magistrate Zhou looked tired, Dong Mingshan spoke.
County Magistrate Zhou nodded, he was really very sleepy.
News came from the front yard that they would continue to lure the snake out of its hole, and the news of Dong Cong's coming could not be leaked. Dong Cong could only be detained in the backyard for the next few days, and the Dong family had to pretend to be sad.
Qian Chunhua knew that he didn't need to get involved in the follow-up matters, as he had other important things to do during his visit to the capital.
"What, you're leaving?" Old Madam Dong and Mrs. Dong were very surprised. They didn't expect Qian Chunhua to come to the Dong family and say goodbye after having breakfast.
In the past, people who came to the Dong family would find various reasons to stay. After all, in the home of the richest man, just a little money would be enough for them to earn for a lifetime.
"Madam, Mrs. Dong, there are three children at home, waiting for me to take them away." Qian Chunhua had no choice but to move her three children out.
This is indeed the true situation, and the Dong family can no longer force Qian Chunhua to stay.
"Madam Qian, please wait a moment. I will arrange a carriage to take you there." Madam Dong thought that Qian Chunhua had no means of transportation, and she had many carriages at home, so she could arrange one to take Madam Qian there.
Qian Chunhua was stunned. She wanted to leave the Dong family just as an excuse. She really wanted to leave the Dong family, travel around the capital and buy a house.
She didn't say it just now because she was worried that the Dong family would give her more money and a house in return for her taking care of Dong Cong.
Qian Chunhua hoped that the marriage between the two families would be a simple kinship relationship and did not want to involve too much money.
In desperation, Qian Chunhua chose to tell the truth.
"Madam Qian, have you finally made up your mind? Houses in the capital are in short supply recently, so I asked you to help look for one." Old Madam Dong was very happy and did not care that Qian Chunhua had concealed the truth just now.
She could see that the woman in front of her was different from the others and did not want to curry favor with their Dong family.
