After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

Chapter 106 The Minister's Mansion is in Chaos

Could it be that the Second Prince doesn't like women? Thinking this made Lin Xiaoxiao feel a little better. No wonder she didn't get married in her previous life.

"I heard you were born a concubine?"

The moment the word "concubine" was uttered, Lin Xiaoxiao's hair stood on end. In Gu Minghai's mansion, she hated it most when the servants talked about her being a concubine.

Lin Xiaoxiao forced a smile: "How could that be? If I were a concubine, how could I dare to serve as an advisor in the Second Prince's residence?"

The second prince tapped his fingers on the table: "Since you weren't born a concubine, don't act like one."

The Second Prince glanced at the small section of Lin Xiaoxiao's arm that was showing, then quickly looked away.

Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that the Second Prince was looking at her with the same eyes he used to look at a dog.

Her blood surged, a violent energy coursed through her chest, and the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. As soon as she opened her mouth, she tasted a metallic sweetness.

"Only a concubine would act like that."

again!

Lin Xiaoxiao clutched her chest, her face deathly pale. Her rage surged to the top of her head, yet she couldn't vent it.

"Your Highness, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

With a "bang," Lin Xiaoxiao's entire body crashed down.

The second prince was so startled that he staggered back, shouting, "Guards!"

"The subordinates are here"

"Drag her away."

"Yes"

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's call a doctor."

"Yes"

[Huh? The second brother is amazing! He made Lin Xiaoxiao faint from anger? Wow, not only did he make her faint, he even made her vomit blood!]

The second prince subtly raised an eyebrow, then turned to the nanny and said, "You can testify, she fainted on her own, I didn't touch her."

"Yes, this servant can testify."

The Second Prince nodded, looking at the tea table splattered with blood by Lin Xiaoxiao, and frowned in disgust: "Take this table away and clean this room thoroughly."

"Yes"

"Hurry, hurry, I need to bathe and change," he asked the guard beside him. "I don't have any blood on me, do I?"

The guard examined it carefully and replied, "Don't worry, Your Highness, there's no blood on it."

The second prince frowned, his tone rising: "Hmm? Look closely, I think there's bloodstain on it."

The guard examined it more closely, his eyes darting around, before blatantly lying, "Your Highness, I didn't look closely enough just now, but it does indeed have bloodstains. I'm afraid this garment is unusable."

The second prince said with a look of regret, "Oh dear, what a pity about this dress. It seems quite expensive."

"Yes, Your Highness, it's very expensive."

The second prince gave the guard a knowing look before going to bathe and change.

……

Shangshu Mansion.

The guards did indeed leave a note.

However, when the maid woke up and saw the note looking for Su Xiuran, she was almost scared to death by the contents of the note.

"Madam, the young lady has been kidnapped!"

"Madam, Miss has been kidnapped!"

The maid ran and shouted, stumbling and staggering.

Chunhe came out of the room: "Sister Chunhe, something terrible has happened!"

Chunhe frowned: "What's wrong? Don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten the rules? Look at your behavior, you've even lost a shoe!"

The maidservant, panting, said, "I...I have an urgent...urgent matter."

Chunhe said earnestly, "Xiaotao, no matter how rushed you are, you can't forget the rules. What if you forget them in your haste?"

What urgent matter could there be? Even if they said they were going to confiscate her property, she remained calm and composed. She had sewn money into her inner garment and hidden razor blades in the soles of her shoes, just in case.

Could there be anything bigger than this?

Indeed, only the head maidservant by the lady's side has such magnanimity.

"But...but...this matter is really urgent."

Chunhe touched her drooping braid: "It's alright, calm your breathing and speak slowly. You are a maid of the Gu family, and you must always remain calm in the face of danger."

The maid calmed herself down and said, "Sister Chunhe... I... can I tell you now?"

"Okay, go ahead and speak, speak slowly."

"Sister Chunhe, the young lady has been kidnapped by thugs, and they left a note."

"What?" Chunhe's voice pierced the sky, several decibels louder than Xiaotao's.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? Ugh, you're so infuriating!"

Chunhe shouted at the top of her lungs, "Madam, something terrible has happened! Madam, something terrible has happened!"

Chunhe ran a few steps, then turned back and took the letter away: "Madam, something terrible has happened! Madam, something terrible has happened!"

Chunhe's voice echoed throughout the mansion. She lost a shoe, but she ignored it and rushed inside.

Xiao Tao: "..."

Su Xiuran's eardrums hurt from the loud voice: "What's all the fuss about?"

"Madam, it's extremely urgent!"

"No matter how urgent the situation, don't be so flustered. Speak slowly."

"The young lady has been kidnapped by thugs."

"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Chunhe: "..." This sentence sounds familiar.

The perpetrators also left a letter.

Su Xiuran's face turned pale, and she opened the note with trembling hands. The note read:

"The young lady is in our hands. Don't report us to the authorities. We'll return her in two days."

Su Xiuran's vision went black. What did he mean by "borrow for two days and return it"?

Will the Gu Linglong who returns be the same cute and obedient girl she once was?

Chunhe supported Su Xiuran's swaying body: "Madam, please take care of yourself. Let's go and discuss this with the eldest young master."

Su Xiuran nodded and hurried to the study, with Chunhe and Xiaotao following behind. They had never noticed that their mistress could walk so fast.

For convenience, Su Xiuran prepared a large study room for teaching.

Su Xiuran arrived just as school was ending.

"Mr. Chen"

Chen Boqing nodded: "Madam, I'll be leaving now."

Su Xiuran tried her best to make her tone sound normal: "Take care, sir."

Gu Yu'an and the others were packing up their textbooks: "Mother, what brings you here?"

Su Xiuran grabbed Gu Yu'an's arm, her voice trembling, "An'er, what should we do? What should we do? Your sister has been kidnapped!"

"What?" The textbook in her hand fell to the ground.

Gu Liyao and Gu Ziming also gathered around.

"Mother, what did you just say? My sister was kidnapped? Who had the audacity to steal someone in broad daylight?"

Gu Liyao's eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

Gu Ziming almost jumped up: "My sister is lost? Where is she lost?" Being young, he couldn't help but cry.

"Mother, let's go find our sister, let's bring her back."

Su Xiuran was even more overwhelmed by her youngest son's crying.

Gu Yu'an was the first to calm down, patting Su Xiuran's arm reassuringly: "Mother, don't panic, what happened? Are you inside the manor or outside?"

Su Xiuran then realized she hadn't asked about the situation before running over: "Oh, right, right, where's Xiaotao?"

Xiao Tao squeezed in: "Madam, I'm here."

Gu Yu'an: "Xiao Tao, where was Miss kidnapped? Did you see her face clearly? Was anyone injured?"

Gu Yu'an's composure and maturity also calmed Xiao Tao down: "Young Master, the assailant left a note and was caught in Miss's room."

"Then let's go check on the young lady's room."

Gu Yu'an took the note and his temple throbbed as he read it. What did he mean by "borrow for two days"?

What does it mean to not report to the authorities? Is it a threat?

Gu Yu'an's legs were trembling, but he couldn't fall down because he was the eldest son in his family.
