After Yi Qingqing and the referees left, Na Yi Lantian stood up.

He said to the guests present, "Yi has prepared a troupe in the front hall. You can go and watch the show. After three performances, I will personally announce the final results of the annual election to everyone."

When he heard that there was a show to watch, Huang Dazhuang immediately stood up.

I want to hurry over and grab a seat at the front.

But her mother and Yi Mingxue were both motionless, and she was so anxious that she pulled her handkerchief.

Tong Xiangyue on the side suddenly asked, "Master Yi, do you know if there is a place to rest in the village? I am old and can't compare to their young people."

Yi Lantian replied: "Of course there is."

And even if he didn't, he still had to answer yes now.

Soon a servant came forward and led Tong Xiangyue and her entourage to the side hall.

Xia Yin leaned over to her maid's ear and whispered something softly.

Then her personal maid Yingchun also left the table.

Yi Mingxue glanced at the maid's back and knew that she was one of Xia Yin's loyal servants who would rather die than betray her master.

I saw Xia Yin and Zhu Huanpei moving to the front hall to watch a play together.

Then he followed the crowd and went to the front hall.

On the stage, what was sung was the classic Peking Opera "Eight Wax Temple".

Tell the story of Fei Degong, who saw Liang Lanying's beauty, killed her maid, and planned to rob a common girl.

This play is undoubtedly a classic in later generations, but in a feudal society with strict etiquette, most of the people watching the play were women.

There is no doubt that it is a bit bold and over the top.

All the female family members watched with concentration and devotion.

Only Yi Mingxue was always a little upset.

She vaguely seemed to hear some chaotic noises, but there was a scene on the stage where Liang Lanying refused to obey, and there was a lot of noise.

The audience in the audience clapped and cheered from time to time, distracting Yi Mingxue's attention.

Soon, the two scenes came to an end.

Several referees came back from the backyard one after another, but Yi Qingqing was never seen.

Yi Mingxue frowned, always feeling like she had missed something.

Until Xia Yin's maid Yingchun appeared again.

Yingchun leaned into Xia Yin's ear and said a few words, and looked towards Yi Mingxue as if nothing was there.

At the same time, a proud chuckle appeared on Xia Yin's lips.

"not good!"

In an instant, Yi Mingxue jumped up from her seat.

Immediately release his spiritual consciousness to search for traces of Yi Qingqing.

However, I don't know whether it was because Zhuangzi was too big or something else, but I couldn't detect the familiar breathing of the second child at all.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Mei ran towards her with a pale face.

Before anyone could reach her, he anxiously shouted to her, "Oh no, Miss Qingqing is missing!"

At that moment, Yi Mingxue's mind went blank.

But soon, she woke up.

It's Xia Yin, it can only be Xia Yin.

Without saying a word, she turned around and ran towards the box where Xia Yin was.

But the distance between the two of them seemed not that far away, but if they really wanted to walk there, they would have to go around the theater completely.

Guests were passing by on the road, which seriously slowed down Yi Mingxue's pace.

By the time she broke into the box, it was already empty.

Yi Mingxue's face was so dark that not only Shopkeeper Mei was too frightened to speak.

Even Huang Minglan, who followed him when he saw something was wrong, was extremely embarrassed.

"What's going on?" Huang Minglan asked bravely.

Yi Mingxue tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and told several people.

"Sister Mei, please go find Miss Lin Er and ask her to help find Qing Qing in the village."

After saying that, Yi Mingxue looked at Huang Minglan again.

I don’t know if I should trust this third aunt with evil intentions at this time.

As soon as Huang Minglan heard that Yi Qingqing was missing, a look of anxiety immediately appeared on her face.

"What's going on? How can a person be lost in the village? He must be a playful boy who is hiding somewhere to have a good time."

Yi Mingxue shook her head, "Qingqing is not such a person."

"Third Aunt, please go to the entrance of Zhuangzi and guard. If you see anything unusual, come and find me immediately."

In the end, she chose to believe Huang Minglan for once.

The main reason is that now, she doesn't have enough manpower.

Huang Minglan knew that this was a God-given opportunity to get back together with sisters Yi Mingxue, so she immediately nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, I'll go right away."

After arranging the two of them, Yi Mingxue casually grabbed a boy from Yixiangfang.

Asked, "Where is your boss now?"

The boy was frightened by her frightening expression and pointed at the back of the stage.

"I'm...in the east wing preparing for the annual election."

Yi Mingxue left him behind without saying a word and headed towards the east wing.

At this time, Yi Lantian was discussing the results of the annual election with Hu Shao. The two agreed that Yi Qingqing deserved a pair of golden scissors.

While we were chatting, suddenly the door to the wing was kicked open by someone from outside.

The wooden door couldn't withstand the anger of the visitor, and with a bang, it fell into two pieces on the ground.

Yi Mingxue flew into the house like a murderer.

I don’t know how she did it, but as soon as the afterimage flashed, she was already in front of Yi Lantian.

The tall woman twisted up the adult man's shirt with one hand, her voice as cold as the frost of the twelfth lunar month.

"Where is my second sister?"

Yi Lantian originally wanted to pretend to be confused.

But when Yi Mingxue met her eyes, she immediately understood that this woman was difficult to deal with.

He could only let out a long sigh and raised his hand to move away from the stunned Manager Hu and others.

"Miss Yi, I advise you not to look for her. Once Miss Qingqing leaves, you and I will be in two different worlds from now on."

Yi Mingxue frowned even more tightly, "Stop talking nonsense, where have they gone?"

Yi Lantian was also helpless, "I don't know either, I didn't do this."

"And please listen to my advice. You and I can't afford to offend the forces behind the leader. If you encounter this kind of thing, I advise you to be more cheerful and treat it as a happy event."

Yi Mingxue's accumulated anger burst out instantly.

She bent her elbow and threw it, and Yi Lantian was thrown to the ground hard.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of punches and kicks.

"Should you tell me? Where is he?"

Yi Lantian was beaten so hard that he was dodging around, but there was no sign of a big shopkeeper anywhere.

At this moment, on the stage across the wall, the third show came to an end.

The leader of the theater troupe made a guest appearance as the master of ceremonies, and was announcing that the annual election was about to begin according to the scheduled procedure.

And backstage, their boss was being beaten to pieces.

"Ouch! Auntie, I really don't know! Instead of wasting your time here, you might as well go after me quickly. If it's too late, people will probably enter Mr. Lei's tent."

"Master Lei... Lei Ben?!" Yi Mingxue stopped moving and called out a name in surprise.

Yi Lantian was so frightened that he hurried to see if there was anyone outside.

"Yes, that's right. It's Lord Protector Lei Benlei. Otherwise, how could I say that your second sister is going to enjoy a blessing?"

Yi Lantian carefully looked at Yi Mingxue's face.

He expected that Yi Mingxue might come looking for him, but he didn't expect that this was a master who would hit people if he disagreed.

He prepared a lot of rhetoric in order to persuade Yi Mingxue.

Who knows...

Alas, that’s all.

Now he just hopes that this giant Buddha will leave quickly.

If you gods want to fight, find a spacious place for yourselves.

Don't come and burn his little temple again.
