Zhen'er put the invitation away and said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, why is Chen Guogong's mansion still holding a banquet? Everyone is preparing for the festival now."
"Princess Wen Yi wants to win over Jun Mohan and find a future for the descendants of the Chen family, so she wants to make the news of her good relationship with Princess Anyang public." Mu Lingwei said lightly: "This donation was also donated by Chen Guogong's family.
Quite a few.”
Duke Chen Guo and Princess Wen Yi had no doubts about Jun Mohan's ability. The battle had not yet started and there was no result, so they bet their money on Jun Mohan.
"Aren't we and the Chen family already on the same side? Mrs. Chen and the princess have been getting along so frequently these days, and with Princess Wei as a line, do we still need to win over her?"
Mu Lingwei said: "Because Princess Wen Yi's son and grandson accepted a lot of bribes in her name, Princess Wen Yi became anxious when she found out. For this, she also spent all her brainpower. She is a royal princess, and her husband
He is a loyal minister who followed the Holy Ancestor Emperor to conquer the country, but his reputation will be ruined at the hands of his son and grandson. It is really pitiful that he will not be able to protect himself at the end of the year."
"Then are we going to attend the Chen Mansion's banquet?" Zhen'er asked again: "If we go, Anyang Prince's Mansion and Chen Guogong's Mansion will be too close, and will it affect the reputation of Anyang Prince's Mansion?"
"Of course I want to go. It's the Chen family who are corrupt, but Jun Mohan is not corrupt. Besides, we can't burn bridges by crossing the river," Mu Lingwei said.
She added: "Before we go, let's go to Duke Zhou's mansion to visit Mrs. Zhou. I heard that she is very ill."
Although Zhou Waner has sent a message to report that she is safe, in everyone's mind, she is already a missing person.
When Mu Lingwei saw Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou was so thin that she was out of shape. She cried all day long and shouted for someone to find Zhou Waner back.
In fact, Jun Mohan's people have been looking for her, and the Zhou family is also looking for her, but Zhou Waner seems to have disappeared from the world.
She felt that there must be a powerful force behind the scenes that kidnapped Zhou Waner.
Mu Lingwei just tried to comfort Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were full of hatred when she saw Mu Lingwei, blaming all the sins on her.
When Mu Lingwei came out of Mrs. Zhou's room, Grandma Xu also chased her out.
"Princess, please don't blame Madam. Madam also misses Miss too much." Aunt Xu's eyes were red and she added: "That day, the slave was with Miss, but when slave woke up, Miss was gone."
Mu Lingwei knew that Aunt Xu was Zhou Waner's nanny. The Zhou family treated her well, and she had always loved Zhou Waner.
"Mother Xu, does Wan'er have any enmity with anyone?" Mu Lingwei asked.
"The young lady has such a gentle temperament, how could she have enemies? She rarely goes out except for that time when she went to the temple..." said Grandma Xu.
Mu Lingwei frowned and thought: "Maybe the problem lies in that trip to the temple."
So, she said again: "Mommy, can you tell me what happened in the temple that time? Who was with Wan'er."
"It just happened because there was no one to accompany the lady..."
According to what Aunt Xu said, Zhou Wan'er had been resting in the wing, but she was finally found in a cave in the mountain behind the temple. Nanny Xu was the first to discover Zhou Wan'er, so this matter was not spread.
It was Zhou Waner who went out to relax on her own and walked towards the back mountain. She was taken away by someone who was knocked unconscious halfway.
The Zhou family kept this matter under wraps, so they did not investigate, let alone ask what the situation was.
"How did grandma find the cave?" Mu Lingwei asked again.
"It was almost time for dinner at that time. Normally people eat breakfast early, but I went to the wing and found no lady. The temple was quiet and there was no one there, so I went looking for her and found her handkerchief on the road. Later I found that the lady was unconscious.
In the cave, the entrance was blocked with grass."
"Nanny Xu, think about it again, who did you meet on the road, or what happened?" Mu Lingwei asked again: "Since the entrance of the cave was covered with grass, it was almost dark at that time, so there should be no light in the cave.
, how did you find out?”
"I remembered that my back seemed to have been pushed by the wind, and I threw myself into the cave. Only then did I realize that the young lady was in the cave. When the young lady woke up, she said that she had been kidnapped and entered the cave.
But she doesn’t know who those people are, and she doesn’t know what happened in the middle, because the young lady was in too much pain, and the servant didn’t mention it again,” said Nanny Xu.
"Do you remember what happened in the cave?" Mu Lingwei asked.
Perhaps her expression was too cold, which made Aunt Xu look at her twice.
She added: "I'm talking about the details, such as whether her dress was torn and what marks were left on her body?"
Mu Lingwei leaned close to Nanny Xu's ear and said: "I don't mean anything else. I just speculated that Wan'er's sudden disappearance may have something to do with the incident in the temple last time. If the murderer kidnapped Wan'er, then
People are likely to know Zhou Waner’s identity.”
When Nanny Xu heard this, her face turned pale with fright, "If Miss falls into the wrong hands again, wouldn't she be even more dangerous?"
"It's not necessarily that Wan'er can write two words back, which means she is negotiating terms with them, but the terms the other party gave her are limited." Mu Lingwei analyzed: "So grandma will think about the details again, and
How did the jade pendant with half of its missing piece end up in her hands?"
When Aunt Xu heard this, she also felt that it made sense. If the young lady's life was in danger, why could the young lady send back the two words "Don't read it"? It was clearly the young lady's words.
So, Nanny Xu added, "The clothes were intact. The man violated the young lady and put on the clothes for her. The jade pendant was also in the young lady's hand. When the young lady woke up, she found that her lower body was in great pain and there was blood on her clothes.
Yes, I helped the young lady back to her room while it was dark. No one knew what happened, but there was also a lot of blood on the grass covering the cave door."
"Later, Third Young Master secretly sent people to investigate. There was blood in the back mountain. This matter could not be made a big deal, so I did not dare to investigate in detail."
Mu Lingwei had some ideas in her mind, "So Wan'er didn't wake up halfway, and she didn't grab the jade pendant from the murderer, but the murderer himself gave it to her. It's really strange."
She added: "Take good care of your wife, maybe there will be news about Wan'er soon."
"Princess, is it true that we can find our young lady? If so, I will kowtow to you." Nanny Xu wiped the tears from her eyes.
Mu Lingwei hurriedly helped her up. In fact, she couldn't find it because the world was too big. However, she had determined that Zhou Waner was safe. She was taken away by someone in a daze at first, and now she is taken away by someone in a daze.
Go without hurting other innocent people.
Even Jun Mohan's people couldn't find her. Maybe a powerful force took her away.
Mu Lingwei came out of Zhou Mansion and found Tails following behind her.
She glanced at the sky and saw that it was already late, so she quietly got into the carriage.
If they were willing to follow, she would take them around.
When Mu Lingwei returned to Mu Mansion, the sky had darkened.
