Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Luo Hongyi frowned, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Oh, so that's the case."

Seeing his reaction, Wei Binghan's face became even gloomier, and his voice was filled with anger and confusion: "Lord Luo, what is your intention in asking this prince?"

As if he hadn't heard Wei Binghan's question, Prefect Luo muttered to himself, "So my suspicion is not groundless." Then, he looked at Wei Binghan and asked, "Prince Wei, how old is your illegitimate son this year?"

Wei Binghan helplessly replied, "I am six years old this year."

"Six years old." Luo Fuyin repeated the number. He was stunned for a long time, looked at Wei Binghan, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How is your relationship with Madam Zun?"

Without thinking, Wei Binghan sighed softly, and said with a hint of reminiscence in his tone: "Alas, my wife and I are childhood sweethearts. Originally, I planned not to take a concubine after marrying her.

It was because my wife had a serious illness when she gave birth to this child, and my grandmother threatened to die, so she insisted that I take a concubine and give birth to more sons. My wife also advised me that it would be impossible to have a child, so I took a concubine and gave birth to a daughter. "

He went on to say, "After that, I never set foot in that concubine's room again, and I didn't want to take another concubine. I really didn't want to hurt my wife's feelings."

"So what happened next?" Ouyang Yunyao was full of curiosity, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, wondering whether what the man said was true or false.

"Alas." Wei Binghan sighed deeply, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Speaking of this, I am really not afraid of being laughed at by you, Your Majesty. This is indeed a scandal in our mansion."

"Prince Wei, you can rest assured. We will never spread this matter to anyone else." said Prefect Luo.

"I know." Wei Binghan nodded, and then he briefly told the story. "I have a distant cousin, who is from my grandmother's family. My grandmother asked her to stay at home for a while.

Unexpectedly, one day, my grandmother called me to talk to her, and I didn’t know why I ended up having sex with this cousin.” His voice gradually became low, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling a past event that he didn’t want to mention.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I knew it was my grandmother's doing, but she was my grandmother after all, and I had no choice but to marry this cousin. After that, I never went to her house again. I never thought that after that one time, she got pregnant and gave birth to a son, who is now deeply loved by my grandmother."

When Ouyang Yunyao heard this, she blinked and thought to herself, I didn't expect this person to be such a loyal and righteous person.

At this time, Wei Binghan's eyes were red, and he pleaded, "Prince Jing, Princess Jing, Lord Luo, you must help me find Huai Tong! My wife doesn't know Huai Tong is missing yet. If she knew, she would definitely not be able to bear it."

After taking a look at Prince Jing and Princess Jing, Prefect Luo said to Wei Binghan, "We will definitely do our best to help you find your son, but time is urgent now, so you still have to go back to the mansion and investigate thoroughly."

"What? What? Lord Luo, what did you say?" Wei Binghan looked confused.

Prefect Luo did not beat around the bush and said directly, "I suspect that someone in your mansion wants to harm your son."

Ouyang Yunyao knew very well that there were many shady things happening in the backyard of this ancient compound. Being in this position, Prefect Luo must be well aware of these things.

When Prefect Luo said this, Wei Binghan was so shocked that he stood up and asked, "How could this be?"

"Of course not. Think about it carefully." Prefect Luo said without question.

Wei Binghan was also a smart man, and he immediately reacted: "Thank you, Lord Luo, for your advice. I will go back to the mansion to investigate."

Then he said worriedly: "But the child has not been found yet, what should we do?"

Chu Chenjing glanced at him and said, "We have already sent people to look for the child. As long as he is not out of the city, it will be easy. You should go back to the mansion first."

Ouyang Yunyao also said: "Prince Wei, if you return home earlier, you may find some clues."

After hearing what they said, he became anxious and bowed to Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao: "Thank you, Prince Jing, Princess Jing, Lord Luo. I'll leave the matter of finding Huai Tong to you. I'll go back to the mansion to investigate. I'll report to you immediately if I find anything."

Chu Chenjing waved his hand and told him to leave quickly.

Wei Binghan left the hall and hurried back to the mansion with his servants. The moment he turned to leave, Ouyang Yunyao casually released two miniature mosquito monitors, which fell silently on Wei Binghan's hair. Ouyang Yunyao was still a little worried and wanted to see what the actual situation was.

At this time, Ouyang Yunyao's thoughts drifted back to the era of her previous life. She thought of the child trafficking gang she had caught. They were evil and cruel. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown.

Chu Chenjing saw that Ouyang Yunyao looked unhappy, and quickly asked, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"

Ouyang Yunyao thought for a moment and said, "Ah Jing, I thought of something." Then she turned to look at Prefect Luo and said, "Lord Luo, I want to ask you something."

"Princess Jing, please feel free to speak. As long as I know, I will tell you everything."

"Okay, Lord Luo, have there been any missing children in the capital recently?"

Prefect Luo pinched his forehead with his hand, thought for a moment and said, "A missing child? I haven't heard about it recently. It seems like a month ago, two families reported to the authorities that their child was missing, but we couldn't find the child."

"Do you know that the child outside the city is missing?" Ouyang Yunyao continued to ask.

"Yaoyao, if a child outside the city goes missing, we usually go to the county government to report it." Chu Chenjing explained to her.

"Oh." Ouyang Yunyao frowned and nodded.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chenjing said to Luo Hongyi, "Lord Luo, please quickly send people to the surrounding county offices to inquire if there are any missing children."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to do it immediately." Luo Hongyi responded immediately.

He frowned, thought for a moment, and turned to Ouyang Yunyao: "Princess Jing, what do you think happened to this child's disappearance?"

Ouyang Yunyao's voice was a little cold, "I think it's probably a gang that kidnaps and sells children."

"Trafficking children? Does that mean begging?" When Luo Hongyi heard this, he was no longer calm. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling very surprised.

I had never thought of this possibility before, but now after hearing what Princess Jing said, I think it is very likely as Princess Jing said.

"Yes," Ouyang Yunyao thought to herself, this is even more powerful than beating a beggar.

"Prince Jing, Princess Jing, please rest assured that I will investigate this matter thoroughly. When I return, I will send more people to search for the child with all my strength."

"Yeah." Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing looked at each other and nodded. Their trust and expectations were self-evident.

"I'll take my leave first." Luo Hongyi couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up quickly.

"Okay, I'll check it out carefully."

"Yes, Your Highness." After saying this, Luo Hongyi hurriedly left the hall with several of his men.
