Yuchan said: "This slave let people get close to me without the permission of the eldest lady, and did not remind the eldest lady out loud that this is unfaithfulness."

Xue Rou'er nodded and said, "Tell me, what's going on? I also know that you won't harm me, let alone do it for no reason."

Yuchan bit her lip and said, "I really don't want the eldest lady to be misunderstood by the eldest master, so I privately let him listen to the conversation between you and the eldest lady."

Xue Rouer stood up suddenly and said: "You mean that the elder brother listened to all our conversations?"

Yuchan nodded and said: "Yes."

Xue Rou'er paced back and forth anxiously, then stopped and said, "Yu Chan, ask Hainer and the Four Gentlemen to follow me to the eastern suburbs."

Yuchan stood up and asked, "Why?"

Xue Rou'er said: "Although the eldest brother looks elegant, he is strong on the inside. How can he stay in the house peacefully when he hears that such a thing happened to his biological mother?"

Only then did Yu Chan realize the danger. The weather had become gloomy in the evening and it would snow heavily at night. If the young master really went to the eastern suburbs, it would be dangerous to get lost at night.

"Yes." Yu Chan ran out in a hurry.

Not long after, the group of people rode out of the city again. The sky was gloomy, and Xue Rou'er had hardly eaten anything that day. She was very tired from running around, but she was worried about Xue Shanyi's safety and had to grit her teeth and hold on.

When they arrived at Dongzhuang, Xue Rouer gathered some more people and rushed to the eastern suburbs with her with torches. After all, it would be easier to find someone if there were more people.

When they rushed to the eastern suburbs but could not see the eldest young master, Xue Rouer was panicked.

Yuchan said: "Miss, did the young master not come at all?"

Xue Rou'er shook her head and said: "No, didn't the concierge say that he went out on horseback alone?"

Yu Chan sighed and said: "Miss, it's already dark now, how can I find it?"

Xue Rou'er said: "Tell me to go down and search separately, and find the young master's reward of one hundred taels of silver."

"Yes." Yuchan said no more and immediately gave the order.

The people in Dongzhuang have already determined that Xue Rouer is their master, so they will do their best even if there is no reward. So they immediately split up to search!

Xue Rou'er came under the pine tree. Since the sky had already started to snow, there was no sign that anyone had been there.

Hainer saw Xue Rouer's tiredness and said, "Miss, you should take a rest and leave it to us to find the person."

Xue Rou'er shook his head and said: "No, you see it's snowing heavily again. If he doesn't know where he fell, I'm afraid he will see a corpse tomorrow."

Concern also appeared on Hainer's face and he said: "Okay."

Everyone held torches and shouted, their voices intertwined with the sound of wind and snow, creating an inexplicable feeling of desolation.

Hainer suddenly said: "Master, someone is coming on horseback."

Xue Rou'er felt happy and said, "Is it possible that we came in too hasty and he just arrived?"

As she said that, she rode up to meet him, but when she saw the person coming, she felt infinite disappointment in her heart. It turned out to be Ling Muran.

When Ling Muran saw her, Hou Jun's face showed anger: "Xue Rou'er, what are you talking about? The city gate is closed now, you can't get in."

Xue Rou'er didn't want to quarrel with him, so she said, "My eldest brother is missing, help me look for him."

Ling Muran was startled and said, "Are you here to find him?"

Xue Rou'er nodded and said, "Well, I'm afraid that he will do something stupid."

Ling Muran frowned and said: "Okay, Yuchan, Haina, you guys should keep a close watch on the eldest lady and don't allow her to run around. Otherwise, the weather is bad in this wilderness, so don't make her disappear too.

Already."

Xue Rou'er pouted unconvinced: "How could I run around?"

Ling Muran shouted: "No matter how anxious you are, take care of yourself, otherwise I will not forgive you."

Xue Rou'er was stunned. When did Ling Muran become so strong? She couldn't refute his words.

Ling Muran shouted to the people in Dongzhuang: "If you have torches, pay attention to your steps and see if there are any traces of anyone stepping on them. The eight of you will search in eight directions with the ruined temple as the center."

Xue Rouer's heart trembled. Ling Muran's command was flawless. He was also a careful person.

The ruined temple was burned and collapsed to the ground, and you can still smell the smell of fireworks when you walk in.

Half an hour later, a person shouted: "The young master is here."

When Xue Rou'er heard this, she immediately galloped over to where the bodies of Mrs. Qb's third wife were dumped.

When they got closer, they saw the eldest young master holding a woodcutter in his hand, and the frozen corpse on the ground was turned into a pile of pieces. The eldest young master seemed to have fainted from exhaustion, his face stained with blood and tears.

Xue Rou'er jumped off the horse and fell directly to the ground due to physical fatigue, but she didn't care much, struggled to stand up and ran to the eldest young master, lifted his head and leaned it in her arms.

"Brother...brother..." Xue Rou'er patted Xue Shanyi's cheek.

Xue Shanyi breathed out, and saw Xue Rou'er's face clearly under the light of the torch. He smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you looking for me? Just let me die."

Xue Rou'er scolded: "Are you a man? You want to die when you encounter such a setback? What should I do with my father? What should I do with my grandmother?"

Xue Shanyi's eyes were dull and he could not tell his thoughts. He said: "Anyway, I am no longer a member of the Xue family. Besides, my mother is also pregnant and will have a legitimate son in the future. I would not regret my death."

Xue Rou'er raised her hand and slapped Xue Yiyi in the face, scolding: "Asshole, can't you see what dad and grandma are thinking? Not letting you go back to Xue's house is not to drive you away, but to save your life!

"

The wind and snow began to fall violently. Ling Muran's eyes turned cold. He walked over and put the eldest young master on his horse and said, "If you have anything to do, go to your Dongzhuang to discuss it."

Xue Rou'er nodded and was kneeling on the ground. She was already numb at the moment. Yu Chan picked her up and the two of them rode together. Back to Dongzhuang, the people in the house of the manager had already placed the charcoal pot in the house, carefully

Serve.

Xue Rou'er felt the warmth in the room, coupled with the fatigue on her body, she fainted before she could take a sip of hot tea.

Ling Muran walked closer and immediately reached out to take her from Yuchan's hand and held her in his arms. He frowned. This girl is fifteen, but she has no weight in his hands. If she continues like this, she will definitely get sick.

of.

Yu Chan knew that he was no match for Ling Muran, so he looked at Haina, who frowned and did not move. He could see that Ling Muran really cared about Xue Rou'er and was not pretending, so he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Ling Muran put Xue Rou'er on the bed and said, "Go and make some ginseng soup, she is very weak."

Gao Jin and Gao Tui had collected a lot of precious medicinal materials before, but they didn't have time to take them away this time, so the people who were waiting in the room immediately went down to make soup.

The eldest young master was wrapped in a blanket and sitting in front of the brazier. When he saw Ling Muran coming out of the inner room, he immediately asked anxiously: "How is sister Rou'er?"
