Mrs. Shen was the first to see her. She pulled the old lady and pointed at Xu Manyue and said, "Mom, look, isn't that the third daughter-in-law in front? Why is she running home in such a hurry? Could something have happened at home?"

Lin Luoxia, who was standing by, followed her gaze and only saw Xu Manyue's back. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.

She tugged at Shen Laoer's arm and said, "I'm worried about Baozhu. I'll go home and check on her first."

After saying that, Lin Luoxia didn't even wait for the Shen family to react. She didn't care about anything else and ran home in a hurry.

The old lady felt uneasy and her forehead was throbbing.

"Let's go back and see what happened."

The third son’s wife is not such an impatient person. Something must have happened, which is why she is so flustered.

On the other side, before Xu Manyue had run far, Lin Luoxia caught up with her and called out, "Third sister-in-law, shouldn't you have been off work long ago? Why are you still outside?"

The tone clearly contained questioning, anxiety, and worry.

Xu Manyue paused and hurriedly told her about the child, "Second sister-in-law, Baozhu is missing."

"I looked in many places around here but couldn't find her. I was afraid she had gone home, so I decided to go back home and check on her first."

Lin Luoxia's mind went blank in an instant, her ears tinnitus surged, and everything seemed to be spinning.

"You...what did you say, the orb is missing?"

She rushed forward, grabbed Xu Manyue's arm tightly, and said through gritted teeth, "Tell me again, who is missing?"

Baozhu is so well-behaved and never runs around, how could she disappear!

If something happens, what should she do...

Xu Manyue met Lin Luoxia's eyes. Although she felt a little reluctant, she couldn't hide this matter. "Baozhu... is missing."

"I just looked for her, but couldn't find her."

Lin Luoxia could no longer control her emotions, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, she pushed Xu Manyue away and ran desperately towards the Shen family.

"No, that's impossible. Baozhu must have gone home..."

"Baozhu, wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Xu Manyue fell to the ground after being pushed by her, and her palm was scratched and the skin was broken, which was burning with pain.

She looked at the faintly bleeding palm of her right hand, pursed her lips, cleaned the wound on her palm, slowly got up from the ground, and walked home.

After Lin Luoxia ran back to the Shen family, she turned the entire Shen family home upside down, but she couldn't find the child. Her face gradually turned pale and she was extremely anxious.

Baozhu, Baozhu, where are you...

Shen Qingqing had just finished cooking when she saw Lin Luoxia rushing into the kitchen looking for someone. She subconsciously walked up to her and comforted her.

"Second Aunt, don't worry. Third Aunt has already gone to look for Baozhu. She will definitely find the person."

Lin Luoxia pushed her away fiercely, as if she didn't see the person at all.

Shen Qingqing's forehead hit the corner of the table hard because of the push Lin Luoxia just gave her.

At this moment, warm blood flowed out and flowed down her forehead.

When Xu Manyue rushed back, she saw this scene. Her face changed drastically and she ran over to help Shen Qingqing up from the ground.

"Qingqing, Qingqing, are you okay?"

Shen Qingqing was just about to say that it was okay, just a little painful and dizzy.

At this moment, she noticed something flowing down her forehead. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch it, and when she saw that her hands were covered in blood.

Fear, terror, confusion...all kinds of emotions mixed together.

Her face turned pale all of a sudden, and she held Xu Manyue's hand tightly, "Aunt, I... am I going to die..."

Xu Manyue quickly took out a handkerchief and stopped the bleeding for her. "Don't be afraid, Qingqing, wait here for your aunt. I'll get you some herbs to stop the bleeding."

After saying that, she hurried back to her room, got some hemostatic herbs from the system, and ran back to apply them on Shen Qingqing's forehead.

By the time they finished all this, Lin Luoxia had already run out to look for her child, and there was no trace of her.

The old lady and her family just happened to come back at this time.

When Mrs. Shen saw that Shen Qingqing's hands and forehead were covered in blood, she hurried over.

"Oh, you're such a grown man, how come you got yourself covered in blood? You're so careless."

The old lady noticed something was wrong at first glance. She searched the house and found the burnt-out, black kitchen, and the missing Shen Baozhu and Lin Luoxia.

I immediately guessed what was going on. I was so angry that my face looked extremely ugly.

She said coldly, "Third daughter-in-law, where are your second sister-in-law and Baozhu? And what's going on in this kitchen?"

Xu Manyue looked up at everyone in the Shen family and told them the truth.

"When I came back, the kitchen was on fire. After Qingqing and I put out the fire, we found that Baozhu was missing."

After hearing this, the air around them instantly froze and became eerily quiet.

Shen Laoer came to his senses, rushed out of the house without looking back, and went to look for someone.

Shen Jianping quickly chased after him, "Second brother, wait for me, I'm going too."

Boss Shen followed him and said, "Mom, I'll go find someone too."

The old lady looked at the burned kitchen, suppressed her emotions, pursed her lips, sat at the table and started eating, as if nothing had happened.

She was the only one in the family who sat down to eat; the rest of the family stood aside, not daring to sit at the table.

Sister Shen felt a little uneasy. She walked to Xu Manyue's side and asked in a low voice, "Third sister-in-law, is mother angry?"

Normally, the old lady would be furious if the kitchen was burned down, but why did she look so calm today?

Shen Qingqing bit her lip and her face turned slightly pale.

This is not not angry at all, it is clearly extremely angry.

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment, then walked up to the old lady and said, "Mom, I'm going out to look for Baozhu too."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.

The old lady called out to her, "Wait, tell me everything that happened today."

Shen Qingqing was anxious, afraid that Xu Manyue would be misunderstood, so she spoke first.

"Grandma, don't misunderstand Auntie. When she came back from get off work, the kitchen was already on fire. Auntie rushed into the kitchen to help me put out the fire. By the time we finished, Baozhu was gone."

"It's obvious that she ran away out of fear. This is not Aunt San's fault at all."

The old lady looked up at Xu Manyue, "Is that so?"

Xu Manyue nodded silently, and spoke after a moment.

"Mother, finding the child is the most important thing now. I'll go out and look for him with my sisters-in-law."

"No, just sit down and eat."

The old lady interrupted her and called Mrs. Shen down to sit down and eat together, but did not call Shen Qingqing.

Mrs. Shen laughed and quickly sat down to eat. "Mom is so good to me. I'm almost dead tired after a busy day."
