When it was almost dawn, the Cao family, which had been dimly lit and quiet, suddenly became chaotic, with many figures and bright lights.
Because just now, the disciples of the Cao family who were responsible for the night watch patrol saw an unconscious figure tied up with five flowers in front of the hall of the Xiongba Hall. After getting closer, they saw that this person turned out to be Xiao Rong, the head of the Xiao family.
But the most shocking thing is not just that, because there is a note stuck on Xiao Rong's body. This note only has a few words written on it, but it is enough to make everyone in the Cao family change their colors when they hear the note.
It read: "The Sixth Prince is Missing!"
This matter was immediately reported to Cao Qinglan by a disciple of the Cao family, and after Cao Qinglan learned about it, he immediately rushed to Xiongba Hall to find out what happened.[
"Master..." The disciples of the Cao family who discovered Xiao Rong shouted in unison when they saw Cao Qinglan appear.
"Where's the Xiao Family Master?" Cao Qinglan asked with her eyebrows furrowed.
"It has been helped to the hall." A disciple of the Cao family responded.
After hearing this, Cao Qinglan immediately walked into the hall and saw Xiao Rong, who had been loosened and still unconscious on a chair.
"Patriarch, this is the note that was affixed to Patriarch Xiao just now." At this time, a Cao family disciple immediately held up the note with both hands.
Cao Qinglan took it and took a look, and her face suddenly fell. Although she felt that it was clearly someone playing a prank, Xiao Rong's strength was at least as strong as the Tianzong level, so she could knock Xiao Rong unconscious without anyone noticing.
I am afraid that this person is by no means an ordinary person, and why the other party did not attack others, but targeted Xiao Rong. In addition, what was written on this note also made her extremely concerned. What should she do if it was true?
?
Thinking of this, Cao Qinglan did not dare to neglect, and immediately told several Cao family disciples in a cold voice with authority: "Go and invite Master Pang Long to come to Xiongba Hall. The remaining few will stay here to keep an eye on the Xiao family master.
No one can say anything about the contents of this note. If there is any leakage, I will expel you from the Cao family immediately."
When several Cao family disciples present heard this, they immediately raised their heads and did not dare to take a breath.
After Cao Qinglan finished speaking, she hurriedly left the Xiongba Hall because she immediately rushed to the room where Mu Ziye rested to confirm whether the content of the note was a joke or true. Of course, she most hoped it was just a prank, but
If it is true, then the Cao family will be in big trouble.
Because she was afraid that the matter would spread and cause unnecessary confusion, Cao Qinglan only took two personal maids with her to the villa where Mu Ziye rested.
After arriving at the other courtyard, Cao Qinglan saw two maids waiting outside Mu Ziye's room.
When the two maids guarding the door saw Cao Qinglan, they immediately surrendered and saluted.
"Has the Sixth Prince been out since last night? Cao Qinglan asked immediately.
The two maids shook their heads.
"Did you hear anything?" Cao Qinglan asked again.
The two maids looked at each other and shook their heads.
"When did the second young lady of the Xiao family who sent the sixth prince back leave?" Cao Qinglan asked.
"Master, the second young lady has not come out since she went in last night." One of the maids responded.
"It seems to be a prank indeed!" After hearing this, Cao Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Sixth Prince and Xiao Mei were together last night, if something happened to the Sixth Prince, Xiao Mei would react when he saw it. It is impossible that there would be no movement at all.
,So, if there is no movement, there should be no problem.[
Cao Qinglan thought about it and planned to turn around and leave so as not to disturb Mu Zi's night's rest, but before she could take a step forward, she suddenly stopped, turned to look at the two maids, and asked with some confusion: "What's this?"
Was there really no movement at all last night?"
The two maids nodded.
When Cao Qinglan heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong. If Xiao Mei had not left the room last night, she should really be "serving" the Sixth Prince. There was no way there would be no movement at all, so this was obviously not normal.
.
Cao Qinglan's charming appearance changed suddenly, she immediately turned around, walked to the door, coughed slightly, and then shouted: "Qinglan knows that it is really neglectful to disturb the Sixth Prince's rest so early, but Qinglan is important."
I need to confirm with the Sixth Prince about the matter. I hope the Sixth Prince can respond to Qinglan and maybe ask Miss Xiao Er to come out."
After Cao Qinglan finished speaking, she immediately listened to the movement in the room, but strangely, there was no sound at all in the room.
At this time, Cao Qinglan was already a little uneasy, but she still calmed down and continued to call twice more, but there was no response in the room.
"Could it be that what was written on the note was true?" Cao Qinglan realized that something was wrong and didn't care much. She immediately gathered her spirits and rushed open the door. Then she walked in quickly and immediately glanced at the bed.
go.
But there was only a charming figure wrapped in a quilt lying on the bed, and Mu Ziye disappeared inexplicably.
"Miss Xiao Er..." Cao Qinglan rushed up immediately, thinking something might have happened to Xiao Mei, but when she lifted the quilt and took a look, she saw that it was not Xiao Mei wrapped in the quilt at all, but Xiao Rong's third daughter, Xiao Jiao.
Son, and still naked.
Cao Qinglan was also confused at the moment, but she immediately checked Xiao Jiaoer's breathing and saw that Xiao Jiaoer was breathing smoothly, but it seemed that she had been given some "drug", so no matter how much she screamed, she couldn't wake her up.
Cao Qinglan saw that Mu Ziye had disappeared as the note said, and Xiao Mei, who had not left since last night, was not in the room. Instead, Xiao Jiaoer was in the room, wearing nothing.
It's hard to understand, what happened last night?
Cao Qinglan looked around the room again and saw that there were no signs of fighting or struggle in the room. It was as if no one had been there at all. However, Mu Ziye was missing. Obviously, Mu Ziye was probably
Was kidnapped.
Cao Qinglan soon thought that the person who left the note might be the person who kidnapped Mu Ziye, and then deliberately used Xiao Rongwei to attract the Cao family's discovery. But why did this person do this? Is it possible?
Are you deliberately provoking the Cao family? Or, this may be a conspiracy of the Qi family! However, even if the Qi family wants to trample her Cao family under their feet again, the kidnapping of the prince is not a joke, and the Qi family will never
Will be stupid enough to ask for trouble.
But if it wasn't the Qi family, who would target the Cao family like this? If it were her eldest uncle and third uncle, there would be no reason to do this, because if something happened to Mu Ziye, then the entire Cao family would be in catastrophe.
, then her uncle and third uncle will not get much benefit.
Cao Qinglan was getting more and more "chaotic" as she thought about it, unable to figure out a clue at all. Of course, she didn't know at this time that she had fallen into a carefully laid chess game.
