Chapter 521 Seeking to Meet Miss 2

"Why don't you ask Ye Yin to keep an eye on Xun Zheng? There must be something wrong with her."

Mu Yunting wanted to say that someone was already keeping an eye on Xun Zheng and that Ye Yin was not needed, but then he changed his mind and thought that since Xun Zheng was anxious now, it would be good to coax her, so he nodded and agreed.

Su Nuan was worried, so she asked Mu Yunting to call Ye Yin and assign him to keep an eye on Xun Zheng in person.

Mu Yunting always felt that something was wrong, but he still called Ye Yin over and told him to keep a close eye on Xun Zheng.

Only then did Su Nuan return to the general's mansion with peace of mind.

Although Ye Yin was sent away, Su Nuan knew that there were still secret guards following her, which was a bit troublesome. But it didn't matter, these people were easier to deal with than Ye Yin.

The general's mansion was filled with gloom and sorrow. Mu Yunting sent someone to tell them not to let the news of Xia Zhuowen's disappearance spread. Madam Xia and Yu were extremely anxious but they did not dare to look for anyone on a large scale.

Su Nuan's arrival seemed to give them hope, and the two of them surrounded her at the same time.

Yu held her hand and cried, "Little sister, why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell us to make it public? Does he know who kidnapped Wen'er?"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Although His Highness doesn't know who kidnapped Wen'er, he has already sent people to look for her. The person who kidnapped Wen'er came for my brother. My brother has just been entrusted with an important task by the emperor. Someone kidnapped his child at this time to plot a big event. If it is not handled properly, it may shake the foundation of the Xia family. That's why His Highness ordered the news to be blocked."

Yu wiped away her tears and said, "I also vaguely feel that this matter is not simple, but I am so scared. Wen'er is only three years old and has never left me since he was born. How scared he must be if he is kidnapped by a stranger! Do you think he will cry? Will he be beaten if he cries? Will they not give him food?"

Su Nuan's heart tightened with every question Yu asked. She was also about to become a mother and of course could understand her sister-in-law's worries. However, what she had to do at this time was not to empathize with her sister-in-law, but to steady her and not let her lose her composure.

"Sister-in-law, they took Wen'er away to threaten the Xia family. Before that, they will not harm Wen'er."

"really?"

Yu looked at Su Nuan with tears in her eyes.

Before Su Nuan could speak, Madam Xia, who had been silent the whole time, responded first: "Your little sister is right. The other party wants to use Wen'er to threaten the Xia family. We will not hurt Wen'er. Not only will we not hurt him, but we will also feed him well. Otherwise, angering us will not only fail to achieve our goal, but will also make us enemies with the Xia family. There are not many people in Nanzhao Country who dare to make enemies with our family."

After saying this, Yu's mood improved a lot.

Su Nuan looked at Madam Xia in surprise. Wen'er was the eldest grandson of the Xia family and the apple of his parents' eyes. What she feared most was that her mother would collapse after Wen'er was abducted, so she rushed back to comfort her mother.

Now, not only does her mother no longer need her comfort, but she can also comfort her sister-in-law instead. So she can rest assured about the general's mansion.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Feeling Su Nuan's admiring gaze, Madam Xia said, "After all, I have been the general's wife for so many years, so I can see things clearly. You don't have to worry about the general's mansion. But your father and brothers are not here, so I can only rely on you to find Wen'er."

Mrs. Xia said this with difficulty. She said she was relying on her little daughter, but everyone knew that she was actually relying on the prince. She was not sure how much affection the prince had for her daughter and how much help he was willing to give.

She gave this important task to her daughter, which was to force her to ask the prince for help. She would be inferior to others if she asked for help. Her daughter was also her treasure, and she couldn't bear it.

If she had a choice, she didn't want her daughter to bear such a heavy responsibility.

Su Nuan didn't think as much as Mrs. Xia, because she never thought of relying entirely on Mu Yunting to find the child, she also had to contribute herself.

"Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to bring Wen'er back."

Su Nuan intuitively felt that this matter was related to Xun Zheng. What she had to do now was to find Ying Shu and get some information from him.

It is a bit troublesome to go and see Ying Shu. I don’t know how many secret guards from the Prince’s Mansion are following me. I don’t know whether Ying Shu can avoid these secret guards.

She talked with Madam Xia and Yu for a while. They were obviously in no mood. Finally, Madam Xia couldn't help but said, "Yan'er, you don't have to worry about us here. Go back and watch the prince find someone."

"Mother, His Highness has ordered a city-wide search for the man. Now we can only wait for news."

"Then go back and wait. Maybe the news has been sent back by now."

Su Nuan sighed. Why did they start to chase people away? Didn't she want to leave? She couldn't leave. She couldn't go to see Ying Shu with a bunch of tails. It would be troublesome to meet somewhere else. The safest way was for Ying Shu to sneak into the general's mansion to see her.

On the way back to the general's mansion, she had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Ying Shu, and she had been staying in the general's mansion waiting for Ying Shu.

Now her mother is chasing her away. What should she do? She can't find an excuse to stay.

After thinking it over, Su Nuan decided to tell a white lie, "Mom, the Crown Prince's Mansion is hosting a banquet today. Wen'er's incident happened suddenly, and when His Highness found out, there were already guests arriving, so it's not easy to cancel the banquet. His Highness is entertaining guests right now, and he has already instructed Wen'er to report to the General's Mansion as soon as there's any news, so it's no different for me to wait here."

"The Prince's Mansion is holding a banquet? Then is it okay if you don't stay in the mansion?" Madam Xia asked with mixed feelings.

"It's okay, there's still Concubine Dong."

It would be even worse with Concubine Dong. She had also heard that the Prince's Mansion held a banquet for royal relatives on the third day of the first lunar month every year. Her daughter was not at such an occasion, but Concubine Dong was asked to entertain the guests. What would others think?

Mrs. Xia opened her mouth but ultimately did not say these words. Things had already come to this point and saying more would only add to her troubles.

Time passed quietly, and it was already afternoon.

Ying Shu didn't show up, and the messenger didn't come back to report. Madam Xia kept asking from time to time when there would be news from the prince's people. Su Nuan was already getting anxious.

Just then, the servant came to report that there was a man named Fusheng outside the door who wanted to see the second young lady.

Fusheng is still in the Prince's Mansion and it is impossible for him to be here. The person who came can only be Ying Shu.

Su Nuan immediately asked someone to lead the visitor to Chongwu Hall.
