But they are different as mother and son. They have no one to rely on, so they can only cling to Bai Yanlang like a dodder and live by his favor.

Last time, the Marquis of Yongning said that if he caused trouble again, he would be removed from the family tree and kicked out of the Marquis of Yongning's mansion! !

"You, you bastard, why don't you have any brains!"

"Mom, I didn't do this. Bai Luochuan fell into their trap just to gain fame and popularity. It has nothing to do with me."

Aunt Qiao was surprised by Bai Muchen's confident look. She suppressed her cough and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it really not you who did it?"

Bai Muchen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's the manager of Lao Zhang's gambling house."

"The manager of Lao Zhang's gambling house is so bold, doesn't he know Bai Luochuan's identity?"

"How could I not know him?"

Aunt Qiao lowered her eyes and pondered, very puzzled, "Bai Luochuan seems to have no grudge against him, why would he do this?"

Bai Muchen said indifferently: "How can my son guess what that man is thinking? But he wants to plot against Bai Luochuan, and my son doesn't want Lu's mother and son to have an easy life, so I just go with the flow."

Aunt Qiao thought about it and felt that there was something strange about the matter.

No matter how bold a manager of a gambling house is, he would not dare to plot against the son of a marquis, especially since Bai Luochuan is the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"You must stay at home for the next few days and not go anywhere. Also, keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone!"

"My son is not stupid, how could he tell this to others?"

Bai Muchen was in a very good mood.

The manager of Lao Zhang's gambling house told him that half of the money that Bai Luochuan uttered would be given to him.

I believe that with how vicious those people are, Lu will not only have to return the money that he extorted from his mother, but he will also have to sell his dowry to pay it back!

The cold wind howled at night, and the branches made a rustling sound in the air.

At the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, the arrival of Lu and Bai Yanlang instantly made half of the Mansion brightly lit.

Bai Youyou had just stood up and put on her clothes when Lu ran over with a look of as if the sky was falling.

"Youyou, your brother is missing!"

"what happened?!"

Bai Youyou was horrified.

She had just transferred Lu Qi away yesterday, so how come something happened to that idiot today?

"Your brother, he..."

Lu came running all the way, panting.

"Mom, don't worry, just take your time."

Bai Youyou took her hand, led her to sit on a chair, and poured her a glass of water.

Lu didn't even bother to drink the water. She swallowed hard and finally felt better.

She had tears in her eyes, "Your brother hasn't come back since he left the house yesterday. Mother is worried that something happened to him!"

Bai Youyou frowned when she heard this, "Do you know where he went and who he went with?"

"He went out with Zimo. The servant said Zimo returned home last night, but your brother did not come back."

Lu pulled Bai Youyou's sleeve as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. When Bai Yanlang came in, he saw the tear marks on her face and was slightly startled.

She had remained calm ever since she learned that her second son had not returned overnight. Although she had been anxious along the way, she had never shown such a vulnerable look.

Looking at Lu's red eyes from crying, his heart softened, "Nothing will happen to Luochuan, don't worry too much."

Bai Youyou glanced at him.

When Lu Qi was transferred back yesterday, she did not say that Bai Luochuan had any abnormalities. Bai Youyou thought about it and felt that the idiot was probably being cheated again.

She also comforted him: "Mom, my second brother will be fine, don't worry."

"Did Lu Qi say anything? Didn't you ask her to follow your brother before?"

Lu was half-held in Bai Yanlang's arms, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"No."

Bai Youyou saw that she was distracted and could only lie to her, "Second brother must have been drinking with someone and got drunk, so he came back late."

"It's getting late now, go and get some rest first. I'll bring people to look for him tomorrow and will definitely bring him back to you intact."

Bai Yanlang patted Lu's back and said, "Just listen to your daughter. Are you still unsure about her doing things?"

"it is good."

Lu choked up and nodded, and with Bai Yanlang's support, she went to Lu's former boudoir.

After a while, Mrs. Hu came in with her nanny.

"What happened?"

Mrs. Lu has a simple mind, so Bai Youyou didn't tell her what was in her heart. However, Mrs. Hu is extremely smart, so there is no need to hide anything.

She gathered the clothes on her shoulders, her expression a little solemn, "My second brother went out yesterday and hasn't returned home yet. My parents were worried, so they came to look for me."

"This child is becoming more and more unreasonable. If you don't come back, you should have someone send a message to your mother. Now you are making your mother worry so much. It's really unfilial!"

Mrs. Hu sighed heavily, and her tone was full of disappointment when she thought of Bai Luochuan's character.

"Aunt, my brother is most likely being tricked by someone else."

Bai Youyou recalled the time when Bai Mulin had ruined his reputation, and his right eyelid began to twitch wildly.

She really couldn't imagine that he could be so stupid as to fall into someone's trap in just one day.

"Don't be afraid," Mrs. Hu held her hand, "I will mobilize people tomorrow morning and will definitely find your brother."

Hu acted very quickly. When daybreak was about to break, he had dispatched more than a hundred men.

These are all veterans under the Duke of Zhenguo who retired due to injuries or old age and returned to the countryside.

Bai Youyou bowed to them gratefully and said, "Thank you very much for troubling me with this matter."

"You're too polite, young lady. It's just looking for someone. How much trouble can it be?"

"Yes."

"that is!"

"Let's go quickly. Once we find it, we can get to work right away. We can't delay the young lady's business."

"Let's go, let's go..."

Bai Youyou also followed the crowd out of the mansion.

There is strength in numbers, and by noon someone had found out where Bai Luochuan was.

Bai Youyou followed the clues and found the small building by the lake. The shopkeeper was delighted to see the huge group of people.

"Dear guests, are you in the lobby or do you need a private room?"

"We're not here to eat."

Bai Youyou took out Bai Luochuan's portrait and asked the shopkeeper, "This man had dinner at your place the other day. Do you know where he went?"

The shopkeeper stared at the portrait for a while, then said with a smile, "This young master and a group of other young masters were here at noon the day before yesterday, enjoying the wind, snow, and drinking wine with me, but they left together in the afternoon."

Bai Youyou frowned slightly, "Do you know anyone among those people?"

"There is a young master named Sun who is a frequent visitor to my place." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That man is the young master of the Sun family in North Street. You can go to the Sun family and ask him and you will know."

"What's Master Sun's name?"

"Sun Wanqiang."

When Bai Youyou learned the news, she immediately ran towards the Sun family without stopping.

When Qiao Bing was carrying a food box and preparing to enter the Rejuvenation Clinic, he happened to bump into Bai Youyou.

"Fourth cousin, why are you here?"

Bai Youyou did not hide it, "I'm here to find someone."

"Are you looking for your second brother?"

"Have you met him?"

"The other day I saw your second brother walking towards that alley with a group of people..."

Qiao Bing hesitated for a moment, but considering the incident in the Camellia Garden, he still told what he knew, "That group of people seem to be from Lao Zhang's gambling house."
