The crisp sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the morning.
A shrill roar of a horse stopped in front of the Bai Mansion, waking up everyone in the mansion.
When everyone hurriedly packed their clothes and ran to the door of the mansion, they saw the horseman who was walking in a hurry and had obviously been waiting for a long time.
This person was the groom from Baifu who had sent Lai Feiyan back to Jingzhou earlier.
As soon as the man saw Bai Yanqing, he immediately trotted to Bai Yanqing, then with a "pop" sound, he knelt down heavily.
"What is this for?"
Bai Yanqing frowned, looking at the kneeling coachman in front of him, with a vague premonition in his heart.
Could it be that He Lishu was not sent to Lai's house?
"But what happened on the way? Didn't He Lishu arrive at Lai's house?"
That and Li's book are stamped by the government. This is the only copy. If it is lost, it will be troublesome.
"Miss Hui, the letter of departure has been sent to the Lai family in Jingzhou. This is the reply letter from the Lai family."
The groom was stunned for a moment, then took out a letter from his pocket.
Bai Yanqing took the letter and did not open it to read it. Instead, she told Cai Xing to put it away and send the letter to Bai Furong in the next courtyard later.
In the end, it is Bai Furong's own family affairs. Whether it is good or bad is her own business, and no one else can look down upon it.
"Miss Hui...there was nothing wrong with Li Shu, but the one who did was...the second lady of the Lai family..."
The groom hesitated again and again, and finally spoke hesitantly.
"Oh? What happened to her?"
Bai Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently.
When Lai Feiyan returned to the Lai family, the people of the Lai family had nothing to do with them or the Bai Mansion. No matter what went wrong with Lai Feiyan, Bai Yanqing didn't bother to deal with it.
"Since the second young lady of the Lai family has returned to the Lai family, it has nothing to do with our Baifu. There is no need to talk to Miss Yu about these trivial matters, as they will offend her ears."
Caixing said angrily. She has always had a bad attitude toward Lai Feiyan. Whether Lai Feiyan lives or dies, Caixing doesn't care at all.
"That's the problem... The second lady of the Lai family didn't even return to the Lai family, and something happened!"
When the groom saw that Bai Yanqing and the girl beside her didn't seem to care about Lai Feiyan at all, he immediately became anxious! So he blurted out.
As soon as these words came out, not only Cai Xing was stunned, but Bai Yanqing was also stunned. What does "something happened before returning to Lai's house" mean?
Seeing that Bai Yanqing finally had some reaction, the groom hurriedly spoke and told what happened along the way.
It's only a few days' journey from the capital to Jingzhou. It's neither far nor close. If you hurry up, you can get there in just five or six days.
That day, after setting off from the Bai Mansion, the carriage driver also wanted to get to Jingzhou as soon as possible and deliver the He Li Shu entrusted by the Bai family to the Lai family as soon as possible. So, the carriage driver changed his mind and took a more remote route. Take a shortcut on the side road.
Who knows, something went wrong halfway!
On the fifth day, as they were about to arrive in Jingzhou, when their carriage approached a forest, a group of masked men in black suddenly appeared!
That group of masked men was also very strange. They did not steal money, property, or hurt anyone, but they only attacked Lai Feiyan on the carriage!
Although the carriage driver put up a few punches and kicks, he was ultimately outnumbered and was defeated. He had no choice but to watch helplessly as those masked men in black robbed Lai Feiyan away!
Although those masked men had fought with the carriage driver, they obviously did not want to hurt him. Therefore, after they abducted Lai Feiyan, they did not even embarrass the carriage driver. Instead, they gave him a fast horse and asked him to rush to Jingzhou.
,Send the letter of He Li to Lai’s house!
"You said...they asked you to send He Lishu to Lai's house as soon as possible?"
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing frowned even more tightly.
The matter of Bai Furong and Lai Jiaheli was known to only a few people in the Bai family who were in charge of the matter, and no one else was informed. Even the matter of going to the government to invite Heli and stamp the seal was done by Bai Jingxuan himself.
of!
After all, who is it that can be so aware of the movements of the White House?
What's even more strange is that those people didn't seem to intend to attack the Bai Mansion, but instead helped him! If they really wanted to harm the Bai Mansion, they would definitely not let the carriage driver go so easily!
Besides, if they really wanted to harm the Bai family, why did they kidnap Lai Feiyan instead of people from the Bai family? For example, Bai Yanqing? The dignified daughter of the Bai family, wouldn't this be more valuable to them?
Lai Feiyan is just an abandoned son now. Who can they threaten if they kidnap Lai Feiyan? The Bai family? Impossible. Lai Feiyan has already severed the mother-daughter relationship with Bai Furong! The Lai family? That is even more impossible. The Lai family is now
It is also dilapidated and has no use value!
After all, what do these people want?
Seeking wealth? Seeking name? Seeking profit? It seems like none of them!
Bai Yanqing thought so hard that she never thought of it!
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, anyway, it was Lai Feiyan who was kidnapped, and the Bai family has nothing to do with it. Just when Bai Yanqing thought this, the carriage driver spoke again!
"Miss..., then... the Lai family said that the second girl of the Lai family disappeared on the road. It was because the Bai family did not take good care of her. If the Bai family cannot hand over the second girl of the Lai family, they... they will
Come to the capital and make trouble with the Bai family!"
It's really hard to say anything surprising.
"Can't you say it all at once?"
How could this man keep talking about something? When Cai Xing saw him like this, he was so angry that he wanted to jump up and beat him!
Bai Yanqing wished she could roll her eyes to the sky, this Lai family is really shameless!
Originally, the Bai family had good intentions, so they agreed to escort Lai Feiyan back to Jingzhou. Otherwise, letting her go back alone would have saved her a lot of trouble!
Now that we are in this mess, how should we end it?
Bai Yanqing looked at the sky speechlessly, what should I do?
After much thought, Bai Yanqing decided to take the Lai family's reply and go to Bai Furong in person!
Who is the Lai family? If others don’t know, how can Bai Furong not know it? They are always ruffians and scoundrels. If they are really allowed to come to the capital, not only Bai Furong will not be able to live in peace, but even the Bai Mansion will be destroyed.
He is the laughingstock of the capital! Besides, Bai Yanqing is about to enter the palace, so she must not make any mistakes at this juncture!
"Aunt, what does the letter say?"
Bai Yanqing has always been a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows etiquette. She did not open the reply letter from the Lai family privately. Even when Bai Furong showed the letter, she waited at a distance without any overstep.
After Furong finished reading, she just asked her.
"He didn't say anything, he just clamored that he wanted to come to the capital to settle the score with the Bai family! He said that Bai's tutor ruined his wife and caused him to lose his beloved daughter."
Bai Furong sighed, and then folded the letter. She had long expected that the Lai family would not give up, and she had also long expected that Lai Guofu was the villain who would definitely take revenge.
After all, the separation between Bai Furong and Lai Guofu was indeed proposed by the Baifu. The Lai family felt that they had lost face, so they would naturally vent their anger on the Baifu.
Bai Yanqing did not expect these things.
However, what Bai Yanqing didn't expect was that Lai Feiyan was robbed! It was precisely because of this reason that the Lai family was going to be in trouble for a while!
After all, now that Lai Feiyan has been robbed, it is true that she was also lost in the hands of the Bai family. If the Lai family really wants to act rogue, the Bai family will naturally be involved!
Why……
It’s only strange that back then, Bai Furong was blind and fell in love with the Lai family’s shabby settlement!
Later, when Bai Jingxuan returned home, Bai Yanqing informed him of the matter. After hearing this, Bai Jingxuan didn't have much worry on his face. After all, he was an old fox who had been in the officialdom for many years, and the Lai family had a bit of a sloppy style.
It’s so disdainful!
However, although the villainous behavior of the Lai family is not worth mentioning, after all, Lai Feiyan was kidnapped. Apart from other things, they must be looking for someone!
The next day, Bai Jingxuan used his contacts to find Lai Feiyan's whereabouts.
But the strange thing is that even though they searched for many days, they couldn't find even the slightest bit about Lai Feiyan's whereabouts!
"What should we do? Feiyan has been missing for more than a month, and now... now I'm afraid the odds are against us!"
Bai Furong also couldn't sleep all day and night. Ever since she learned about Lai Feiyan's disappearance, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and shed tears every day. She often ran to Bai Yanqing's courtyard to cry to her. Today, Bai Furong
, it’s funny to think that she actually regards Bai Yanqing as her only support, the only person who can make decisions and come up with ideas for her!
After Lai Bizhi learned that Lai Feiyan had been kidnapped by gangsters, she was also extremely anxious. After all, they were her biological sisters who grew up together, and their relationship over the years was quite good. Now that she learned that she had disappeared unexpectedly, she was also anxious. However, she is now
Helping Bai Furong take care of her property, she was so busy that she couldn't find anything to do, so she had to ask the Bai family for help in finding someone!
When Mrs. Ren heard the news at first, she was shocked and actually felt sad for a while. Later, she thought about it, since Lai Feiyan now belongs to the Lai family and has voluntarily severed ties with them. There is no need for her to worry about such an outsider, so,
Ren is probably the calmest one currently.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Mr. Ren has always been selfish. He has held it in the palm of his hand since he was a child for fear of dropping it, and held it in his mouth for fear of melting. Now that he has seen that it has no use value, he has abandoned it.
Broken shoes.
The human heart can be so cold and heartless!
"Don't worry, aunt. Father has already sent people to look for her. There will always be good news."
Bai Yanqing endured the utmost patience and persuaded Bai Furong with kind words.
Bai Yanqing actually had a headache. She had been pestered by Bai Furong every day for the past few days and cried and complained all day long. She was really annoyed. Bai Furong's words of comfort over and over again turned a deaf ear and she only focused on crying on her own.
I couldn't listen to Bai Yanqing's advice at all.
"Feiyan hasn't suffered much since she was a child. She doesn't know whether she is dead or alive these days...I don't know if she has clothes to cover her body, whether she has food to satisfy her hunger...whether..."
Obviously, Bai Furong didn't listen to Bai Yanqing's words. She was still talking to herself and wiping tears. Her red and swollen eyes were really pitiful.
Bai Yanqing stroked her forehead and glanced at Cai Xing beside her. She also had a bitter and resentful look on her face. It was obvious that Cai Xing had had enough of Bai Furong complaining like she was chanting sutras every day.
Looking at Aunt Zhao and the others again, they had already hid far away. Come to think of it, the girls and women in Nianchu's small house have been exposed to the poison of white hibiscus these days!
Bai Yanqing decided immediately that she could not let Bai Furong do this again!
