After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.

"Master, you must save me, I didn't know she was from the prefectural governor's mansion.

I sent someone to bring the little girl from the Yun family here because Cong'er likes her. If we keep her in Xie's house, she can become Cong'er's wife when she grows up. Now, while she is still young and unsettled, she can come to our house and be well educated.

But, but who knew that the three little girls were together, and the servants didn't know which one was the little girl of the Yun family, so they brought them all here."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Xie family rebuked him, "Nonsense! How could Cong'er marry a girl from a peasant family like the Yun family? My Xie family is rich and powerful, so Cong'er must find a girl from a decent family."

Aunt Lin cried, "Yes, Master, it was my fault. You must save me."

Patriarch Xie never allowed Aunt Lin to address him as "maid concubine" in front of him. Hearing this word today made him feel guilty again.

Asking her to be his concubine was really unfair to her.

Seeing Aunt Lin crying, he felt very sad: "Did anyone see them when they kidnapped the people?"

"Don't worry, sir. I have asked around. They were taken away in the woods and no one saw them."

Patriarch Xie glanced at Aunt Lin who was kneeling on the ground and said, "It's just the governor's mansion. How can it be bigger than Prince Chen? Besides, she is just the cousin of the governor's mansion. You don't have to worry too much."

"Go and hide those three children now. As long as they can't find anyone in the mansion, they won't be able to hold us accountable."

The head of the Xie family also did not believe that the prefectural government would make a big fuss for a distant relative. It was just that the servants of the prefectural government were following the orders of their master and were just doing superficial work.

Despite what he said, the head of the Xie family sent a steward to invite Prince Chen just in case. He whispered a few words to the steward, and the steward took the order and ran away quickly, leaving the Xie Mansion through the back door.

At this time, people from the prefect's mansion were searching Xie's house. They kicked open all the doors one by one during the search, which also woke up Madam Xie and Madam Wang who were sleeping.

Old Madam Xie sent Chuan Hong out to see what happened. After receiving the order, Chuan Hong hurried out to find out.

Uncle Xie told his wife to go accompany his mother Wang, and he also ran out to the outer courtyard to check.

When the head of the Xie family came out, he was shocked to see that the leader was Zhao Mingzhou. It was not just a young cousin who was lost, why did it alarm the eldest son Zhao?

He hurried forward, bowed and said, "Mr. Zhao, how come you have time to come here? Please come in."

The head of the Xie family had asked to see Zhao Mingzhou many times before, trying to get in touch with the Prefectural Governor's Mansion, but was rejected every time.

When he met Zhao Mingzhou this time, the thoughts in his mind were aroused again, and he spoke in a very flattering tone.

Zhao Mingzhou saw that Patriarch Xie was asking even though he knew the answer, so he drew out his sword and pointed it at Patriarch Xie: "You don't know why?"

"Please calm down, sir. I really don't know. I hope you can explain it to me."

The head of the Xie family thought he had given Zhao Mingzhou a lot of face by breaking into the Xie residence in the middle of the night. Not only did he not blame him, he even greeted him with a smile. What else did he want to do?

At this moment, the idea of ​​Mr. Xie to curry favor with the prefectural government was instantly dispelled.

One of the guards of the prefectural governor's mansion picked up the man they had captured and threw him to the ground: "Master Xie, do you dare to say that you don't know this man?"

The head of the Xie family hurriedly lowered his head to look, and saw that it was indeed a guard from their Xie Mansion.

Didn’t they say no one saw it? How did it leave such a big handle?

The guard said, "You are so bold in the Xie Mansion that you even dare to arrest our cousin from the prefect's mansion. If anything happens to our cousin, I will burn down your Xie Mansion."

Patriarch Xie said stubbornly, "Mr. Zhao, is there any misunderstanding here? I really don't know where your cousin is."

Zhao Mingzhou winked at the guard, who took the rag out of the man's mouth. He then heard the man say, "Master, help me! I am here to kidnap people on Aunt Lin's orders. You can't just ignore me."

"Nonsense, this is purely your personal behavior and has nothing to do with our Xie Mansion."

The head of the Xie family looked at Zhao Mingzhou and said, "Mr. Zhao, you can kill or punish this man as you wish. This wicked slave betrayed his master. He is no longer a member of our Xie family."

Zhao Mingzhou looked at the old fox-like face of the head of the Xie family. The evidence was placed in front of him, but he still dared to quibble. Zhao Mingzhou could not help but sneer. He was just a merchant family, but he dared to be so arrogant. He didn't know what his confidence was.

"Search, and kill those who stand in your way."

When Patriarch Xie saw that Zhao Mingzhou was really going to kill someone, he became afraid. Although he was panicking, he remained calm on the surface:

"Mr. Zhao, this is not good. If you search my house so blatantly, it will probably damage the reputation of your prefectural government if it gets out."
