Chapter 297 The Twins Are Lost
Chapter 297 The Twins Are Lost
Chen Furong looked at Wu Weiwei and said worriedly, "Sister Weiwei, don't worry. If you don't dare to kill, I'll do it for you!"
That damn Qin Baiwan, I never expected him to have such a trick up his sleeve.
"No need, Hibiscus, I can manage!"
Looking at Qin Baiwan, Wu Weiwei felt that this man was so evil; he killed people simply for fun.
"Let's go, Sister Weiwei!"
Chen Furong felt that Wu Weiwei was just putting on a brave face. She had known Wu Weiwei for so long, but she had never seen her ruthless side.
After everyone went inside, Qin Baiwan looked at the old butler beside him.
"Have all the people inside been taken care of?"
"Your Highness, everything has been arranged!"
Qin Baiwan smiled and said, "That's good. Bring me my riding and archery gear. Today is so lively, how could I, the young master, be left out!"
"Your Highness, are you going to join the competition?"
The old butler was surprised.
"What? I can't even play the game I designed myself?"
Qin Baiwan's face instantly turned gloomy.
"No, this old servant felt that the slaves today were too brutal and was worried that they might hurt you..."
"Hmph, no matter how ferocious you are, do you think you can dodge my arrows?"
"Hurry up and bring it over! Otherwise, someone else might snatch the good prey first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the old steward left, Qin Baiwan was seen staring blankly at a certain spot in the hunting grounds.
"Lu Hanting, you'll get what's coming to you today!"
Of course, the woman who dared to reject him a year ago will probably not fare well today either!
A large number of participants waited on horseback at the starting point.
Once the slaves on the hunting grounds cross the red line set by Qin Baiwan's men, the game of chasing and hunting slaves will begin.
Lu Hanting's attention was focused on Wu Weiwei at this moment.
He noticed that she kept touching her lower abdomen when she wasn't doing anything, with a hint of worry on her face.
What's wrong with her?
Could it be that Qin Baiwan poisoned the food?
Speaking of poisoning, Lu Hanting felt a faint, malevolent fire rising within him.
He suddenly remembered that glass of wine. Could there really be something in it?
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment!
With his internal energy, the evil fire quickly subsided.
"Sister Weiwei, remember to stay close to me and don't wander off, okay?"
Seeing that the group of slaves was about to run to the red line, Chen Furong gave them some instructions out of concern.
"I understand, Furong. I will follow you."
Wu Weiwei's gaze fell on the strangely dressed female slave 10 miles away.
This is the purpose of her visit today.
"The hunt is officially beginning! Everyone, get ready! Go!"
As soon as the loud voice rang out, everyone rushed out.
At this time, it was outside the outskirts of Beijing.
After leaving the Marquis's residence, Yan Yu hired a carriage, and the coachman carried her and the baby quickly toward their destination.
After examining the babies, He Yuyan already had a clear idea of what was going on.
"Alright, Dingxiang, all the babies are fine."
"You stay here and keep an eye on things for me until Yanyu returns and oversees her operations. I still have unfinished business at Jade Butterfly Garden, so I'll be leaving now!"
"Hey, young lady, aren't you going to keep watch here?"
Dingxiang had thought the girl would do the work herself, but instead she was asked to stay and watch, which made her a little scared.
After all, this was the first time she had ever done something like this, and she was terrified.
"No, I trust you to handle things!"
He looked terrified when he saw Yan Yu.
"What are you afraid of? I'm just asking you to stand guard, not to do anything..."
"Oh, and make sure to clean up the scene immediately after you're done. Don't leave anything that shouldn't be there, understand?"
"Remember, remember!"
After receiving Dingxiang's assurance, He Yuyan left.
……
"Knock knock!"
"It must be Sister Yanyu who's back!"
Dong Chun ran over and was about to open the door.
"Wait, let me go take a look."
Dingxiang was cautious; having come this far, she couldn't let everything go to waste.
She peered through the crack in the door, and only after seeing that it was indeed misty and rainy outside did she loosen the bolt.
"Sister Dingxiang, you're here!"
Then Yan Yu walked in carrying a basket.
"Hmm, is everything done?"
Dingxiang asked.
"Ah."
Yan Yu lowered her eyes, her expression somewhat unnatural.
However, Dingxiang was so eager to check on the baby that she did not notice her unusual behavior.
After a thorough examination, Dingxiang looked at the two of them and said, "Let's get started!"
He Yuyan had just returned to the Marquis's residence after finishing her business when she heard Steward Fu instructing people to frantically search for something.
She grabbed a maid.
"What are you doing?"
"Miss Bei, the Marquis has ordered that Fifth Concubine's twins have gone missing. He says there's a suspicion of an inside job, with someone colluding to abduct the Tenth Young Master and Eleventh Miss. Therefore, he has ordered all exits of the Marquis's residence to be sealed off, and he is determined to catch the thief..."
"The twins are lost?"
Hearing this, He Yuyan felt a little apprehensive.
Yan Yu, Yan Yu, she can't be that stupid, right?
"Okay, go and do your work!"
He Yuyan hurriedly walked into her own courtyard.
Over here, the old lady's eyelids twitched.
Looking at the fifth concubine kneeling on the ground, sobbing, and then at Liu, who had been sitting there silently for a long time.
The old lady was furious.
"Liu, you also bear inescapable responsibility for the loss of the twins. I entrusted you with the management of the Marquis's mansion, but you failed to manage the household properly and allowed the thieves to steal the twins without anyone noticing."
Tell me, what kind of family management have you done? You bear absolutely no responsibility for this!
Today, Ping'er and Fifth Aunt went to the temple to burn incense.
Unexpectedly, upon returning, they discovered that the twins had mysteriously disappeared.
When asked, the wet nurse said she had been drugged and didn't know anything...
What kind of mess is this?!
"Grandma, please bring the Prince back soon! I believe he will find my children..."
Fifth Aunt cried until her eyes were swollen.
Her own Shuang'er and Lan'er were still so young, not even a hundred days old. If something really happened to them, she wouldn't be able to survive.
"Why are you crying? What good will crying do? Ping'er has already gone to the Dali Temple to report the case, and Ting'er went to the Panshan Villa on the outskirts of the capital today. He won't be back until tonight. There's no use in you being anxious!"
The old lady gave her cane a heavy thud.
Although she was anxious, there was nothing she could do.
"Fifth Madam, instead of crying here, why don't you go back and interrogate the servants in your courtyard and see who they've been associating with lately..."
Lady Hou felt quite resentful that she had failed to guard her own courtyard properly, causing her to be scolded by the old lady.
Hearing what the Lady Hou said, Fifth Concubine finally remembered.
He only knew to rush to Yong'an Hall, but he hadn't even interrogated the servants and maids in his own courtyard.
Fifth Aunt stood up, hurriedly kowtowed to the Old Madam, and then turned and ran back into the courtyard.
"Alright, you can go back now!"
The old lady glanced at Liu Shi, deciding to wait for Ping'er to return and see if the Dali Temple had any answers.
