Shen Zhonglei was working in the government office today, when Xu Yihao suddenly asked to see him anxiously.
"Uncle, I just came back from outside and bumped into a sneaky man. The man threw a paper bag at me and ran away. I picked it up and took a look and found that there were two embroidered handkerchiefs with clouds on them.
The names of Sister Yao and Sister Yunhui, it is written in the paper package that they will be released only after a thousand taels of silver."
"What?" Shen Zhonglei was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. His two daughters were kidnapped. This was a big deal. "That's not right. They went to a banquet with Shu Er today. How could they be kidnapped?"
?”
Xu Yihao lowered his head and looked through the paper package again and said, "There are only two silk handkerchiefs in it. Sister Tianshu should be fine."
Shen Zhonglei didn't want to think about it so much. He asked Xu Yihao not to tell anyone about the matter first, especially not to tell the Xu family, while he hurriedly summoned his staff and the policeman to come over to discuss the matter.
The head catcher just suggested that he send someone to Mingshui Garden to inquire. Maybe someone just stole the handkerchief and came to extort money. The people sent by Huang to inquire about the information arrived.
Shen Zhonglei called someone to reply and lied that the two girls had gone home, but his heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.
It seems something really happened!
While Shen Zhonglei sent people to the city to inquire, he repeatedly told him to act quietly.
Two teenage girls were abducted by thieves. If word got out about this, even if they were recovered intact, there would be all kinds of dirty rumors outside.
Shen Zhonglei was waiting for the letter at home, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Just as the time passed little by little and he was so anxious, he suddenly received the good news sent by Fan Yuru.
He did not dare to delay for a moment, nor did he dare to make any noise. He quietly led his people and followed Fan Yuru's guards to Xiao Liuzi's house in the northwest corner.
As soon as Shen Zhonglei entered the room, he first saw Shen Tianshu looking tired and sitting on a stool against the wall.
He turned his eyes and immediately saw Shen Yunyao sitting by the wall, with most of his face covered in dried blood.
Shen Yunyao raised her head and glanced at Shen Zhonglei, then immediately lowered her head.
Shen Yunhui huddled in the corner with the other two maids. The three of them also had blood on their faces. They didn't dare to speak when they saw him, but they all looked at him with eyes hoping for help.
"What happened? Who is hurt?" Shen Zhonglei rushed over to see Shen Yunyao first. Seeing that she was not injured, he turned to look at Shen Yunhui, not forgetting to ask, "Tian Shu, what is going on? You are too
That's too much. Why do you just sit and rest by yourself and don't know how to untie your two sisters?"
Shen Tianshu did not defend himself at all. Instead, he stood up and said: "The two sisters were frightened just now and were too excited. I'm afraid that after the restraints are released, they will rush out regardless and be seen by people outside.
This matter can no longer be concealed.
"Although what I did may not be appropriate, I hope my father will forgive me. My maid was stabbed while trying to save Yunyao and has now been sent to the hospital, leaving me alone unable to control the four of them.
"After all, it's better not to trouble Young Master Fan to do something like this..."
Only then did Shen Zhonglei realize that Fan Yuru was also there. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Mr. Fan's help today, the three of us are safe."
Fan Yuru hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "For what happened today, Fan only sent out a few guards to help. From the beginning to the end, Miss Shen was the one who provided advice and assistance. If she hadn't been careful and resourceful, there would have been a big mess.
"Since Mr. Shen is here, Fan will leave first and will visit you again in a few days when Mr. Shen is free."
Shen Zhonglei heard something in Fan Yuru's words, but he didn't think much about it at this time. After sending the person away, he asked Shen Tianshu: "Shu'er, what on earth is going on?"
Shen Tianshu sighed deeply, pointed to the inner room and said, "The two thieves inside have confessed. Why don't father listen to them first?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "boom" sound, and Shen Yunyao fainted again with a pale face.
Shen Zhonglei, who had already been walking towards the back room, suddenly stopped, turned around, walked to Shen Yunyao, picked her up horizontally, covered her from head to toe with his cloak, and ordered: "Come here, go out and clear the place, the two criminals Take him back and put him in jail, and his trial will be postponed."
Seeing Shen Zhonglei hugging Shen Yunyao and leaving without looking back, Shen Tianshu's eyes were cold.
Although I don't know whether Shen Yunyao fainted is true or not, this immediately adds another variable to the matter.
In the evening, when Shen Tianshu finally dragged his exhausted body back to Shen's Mansion, it was already dark, and even Mingyu and Minghui had already returned from the hospital.
Aunt Yang had been reciting Buddhist scriptures in her room for most of the day. Although she knew that Shen Tianshu was fine, but she didn't see anyone, she couldn't help but ask the Buddha to bless Shen Tianshu for safety.
Seeing that Shen Tianshu finally came back, he immediately rushed towards her, pulled her back and forth and checked her up and down, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Amitabha, it's fine that the girl is fine, but this old slave was frightened." Grandma Yang patted her heart.
"Is there anything to eat in the house? I'm going to starve to death." Shen Tianshu returned to the house and fell on the couch regardless of his appearance.
She only had some breakfast before going out today. In order to look good in her clothes, Grandma Yang only served her half a bowl of shredded chicken porridge.
After a hard day's work, I was already so hungry that my heart was in my heart and my back was in my back.
I didn't realize that I was in a hurry to find someone before, but after I found it, I became more and more hungry and panicked, and my eyesight went black.
"Yes, yes! You can eat it right away. The old slave has asked someone to keep the porridge warm on the stove in the small kitchen!" Nanny Yang quickly asked someone to bring it, "Girl has been hungry all day, so she'd better drink some porridge to help her digestion."
Not long after, a bowl of yellow pumpkin porridge was served along with several plates of side dishes.
The pumpkin has already been boiled in the porridge. It tastes sweet and has the aroma of pumpkin. It is warm and delicious. It makes people feel warm all over and makes their stomach feel comfortable.
"Mommy still feels sorry for me, knowing that I must be starving." Shen Tianshu finished a bowl of porridge, and then he felt alive and had time to speak, "Have another bowl."
As soon as Nanny Yang served the porridge, the door was pushed open with a bang.
Mi'er and Rui'er followed behind, but it was not right to stop them, and it seemed wrong not to stop them.
Mrs. Xu rushed into the house with a sick look on her face, a piece of cloth tied on her head, and her hair disheveled.
Grandma Yang waved the two girls out, and she was about to go up to them to talk.
Mrs. Xu picked up the porridge bowl on the table and threw it at Shen Tianshu's face.
Shen Tianshu was unable to dodge and was not only hit on the forehead by the bowl, but also had pumpkin porridge thrown all over his head and face.
Aunt Yang hurriedly stood in front of Shen Tianshu and said, "Ma'am, what are you doing? Fortunately, the pumpkin porridge is only warm, otherwise it would burn our girl's face!"
"It's better if you burn it!" Mrs. Xu pointed at Shen Tianshu as if she was crazy and yelled, "Shen Tianshu, Shen Tianshu, why didn't I see that you were so vicious before? I told you to take Yun Yao with you. Is this how you take her with you when you go to a banquet? Is this how you take care of your sister?"
Shen Tianshu wiped the pumpkin porridge on his face, raised his head and glared at Mrs. Xu and said, "Mom, you have time to scold me, why don't you ask your good daughter what happened today?"
"Bah! Yun Yao hasn't woken up yet!" Mrs. Xu rushed to arrest Shen Tianshu, but Aunt Yang held her tightly and could only continue to curse, "You are a white-faced and black-hearted little whore | woman. , How come it wasn’t you who was kidnapped! How come it wasn’t you who was stabbed! Why don’t you just die outside! Let me tell you, if Yunyao does anything good, I will tear you alive——”
