Jianshu went out with them and came to Zuihuanlou with them.

When did that person disappear?

Lin Mu and Yan Huo looked at each other, and even Hong Lan was stunned for a moment. After a while, she suddenly reacted and said to herself, "Oh no!" She turned around and ran into Zuihuan Tower, but it was too late. She ran into Jianshu who was coming down from the upstairs.

Jianshu glanced at Honglan, whose face changed drastically, and walked outside. He handed the bottle in his hand to Song Wenyuan, "This is just one of the bottles. The whole room on the third floor is full of them. The young lady once said that this wine should be sent directly to the Imperial Hospital. Anyone with some medical skills can find out the cause... I have finished what you asked me to do. I will go after the young lady now."

Song Wenyuan took the bottle and nodded. When Jianshu passed by him, he whispered, "Go back home first and ride Lightning to chase him."

Hong Lan's face turned pale and her body swayed slightly. Fortunately, Zhitao quickly supported her and she avoided falling. She finally realized what Song Wenyuan's intention was.

Yes, everyone knows that Lin Mu and Yan Huo are Song Wenyuan's right-hand men and his most trusted people. Now that Wen Qian is missing, if he really wants to find her, he would have chased her as soon as he knew she was out of the city. Why would he be here to ask Zuihuanlou to hand over someone? The drunkard's intention is not the wine, but Song Wenyuan's calculations are on the wine!

This is Song Wenyuan... Everyone knows that he was bewitched by the little girl from the Wen family and changed his personality. But when the little girl disappeared, he was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he set his sights on Zuihuanlou. Men... even if they have some true feelings, they will retreat again and again for those things that they think are important, and in the end they let this person and that person down, but they never let themselves down.

Just like that man, he was obsessed with a deceased person and never married for her, but when it came to dealing with the daughter of his beloved, he showed no mercy at all.

The difference between infatuation and ruthlessness is really hard to predict.

Hong Lan frowned slightly, her fingertips seemed to inadvertently touch the wooden hairpin in her hair, and she looked at Qin Yongpei, silently and silently, but there were thousands of words in her eyes.

Qin Yongpei avoided that sight.

The snow fluttered down, and everywhere in sight was white, quiet, and vast. She was still not used to the heavy snow in Shengjing City for so many days, nor was she used to this long winter that seemed to never pass. Hong Lan sighed softly and lowered her eyes again. That was all... They had only formed an alliance for the sake of interests. Now that the monkeys had fallen, who could she expect to lend a hand?

Qin Yongzhao watched as Song Wenyuan gave an order, and the guards rushed into Zuihuan Tower and carried out wooden boxes one after another. The wooden boxes were placed in the snow, and the lids were opened. Inside were the same wine bottles that the girl had taken out before. How could he not know that these were all problematic wines? He smiled playfully, turned around and asked Jin Yunian, "There is nothing for us to do next. Do you want to go back with me?" He rarely participated in the affairs of the court. As a prince who was idle and had fine clothes and food, it was enough for him to be a little smart and understand the ways of the world and hear the hidden meaning of words.

Besides, it's such a big case? Well, I don't understand, I don't understand... Qin Yongzhao smiled and said goodbye to Song Wenyuan, while holding Jin Yunian who was reluctantly shouting "I haven't found my sister-in-law yet" and went to the direction of his carriage. He thought to himself, Jin Yunian is really a fool. Didn't he hear the maid say to chase the young lady? Didn't he hear Song Wenyuan's order to go back to the mansion to get the horse? These two people just showed up, why didn't they ask about Wen Qian's whereabouts and whereabouts?

It is hard to say who set up the "disappearance of the third young master's wife of the Marquis of Kejing's Mansion" case.

……

On that day, the heavy snow had not stopped, but the weather in Shengjing City had changed slightly.

First of all, the girl from Zuihuanlou was suspected of colluding with the criminal of the "missing girl case" to kidnap the cousin of the Kejing Earl's Mansion and threaten the third young master's wife Wen Qian to go out of the city alone to keep an appointment. The third young master's wife was really a heroine. She rode out of the city in this blizzard to chase the murderer and rescue the cousin, and sent the criminal who killed many girls in the city to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion. In this way, the missing girl case that troubled the Jingzhao prefect for several months was finally settled.

However, the young lady disappeared and was said to have gone out of town - the girl from Zuihuanlou was also one of the missing women, but she immediately joined forces with the criminals, so no one believed what she said.

Afterwards, Commander Song, in a rage, ordered his men to surround Zuihuan Tower and demand that Mother Hong hand over the person. This incident caused a big uproar, even alarming the two royal princes. Who could have imagined that even bigger things were yet to come? Commander Song actually found countless poisoned wine on the third floor of Zuihuan Tower - confirmed by the imperial physician, this wine causes hallucinations and drinking too much will lead to addiction.

On that day, the entire Zuihuan Building was sealed off, and all the people in the building were escorted to the prison and interrogated one by one.

The people were in an uproar. No matter how strong the wind and snow were, they could not stop people from trying to get the news. Those who had been to Zuihuanlou were trembling with fear as they recalled whether they had drunk alcohol in the building. Those who had not been to Zuihuanlou were secretly rejoicing while sighing about the wickedness of the world. There was also verbal criticism from their peers, and for a time, the girls and eunuchs in Zuihuanlou became the targets of everyone's condemnation.

However, everyone tacitly agreed not to investigate further - it was just a brothel, who gave them the courage to use such evil poisonous wine to make money and attract customers under the feet of the emperor?

As for Commander Song, who had made great contributions, he was now at the Wen family asking for forgiveness.

The news of Wen Qian's disappearance spread like wildfire, and it was impossible to conceal it. The Wen family naturally received the news. Although Wen Changling thought that Wen Qian was fine, he could not resist the old lady chasing him with a cane and beating him halfway across the yard. He was middle-aged and had already reached the position of Shangshu, but he was still being chased and trampled by his old mother. It was really embarrassing... So he had to ask someone to invite Song Wenyuan. The old lady, wearing a bright red coat and leaning on a cane, stood at the gate of the Wen Mansion in person, welcoming Song Wenyuan with a cold face.

Commander Song, who had just made a new contribution and was in the limelight, had just dismounted from his horse and had not yet finished his ceremony when the old lady pounded her cane and shouted, "Kneel down!"

Song Wenyuan knelt down without saying a word, directly kneeling in the thick snow.

Wen Changling was shocked and subconsciously wanted to help, but was stopped by his old mother, "Stop!" The old lady's voice was like a bell. Wen Changling sighed silently, looked up at the sky, and waved his hands behind his back secretly, signaling the servants to leave. Song Wenyuan's embarrassing incident was not something that everyone could watch.

The old lady glanced at him sideways, not bothering to care about the servants who quietly left. She just stepped forward and lowered her eyes and called out, "Master Song, where is my child Qianqian?"
