Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Mr. Wu was stunned on the spot as if he was struck by lightning.

It took a long time before I finally found my voice.

He asked Lu Chenxiao with a trembling voice, "What did you just say?"

"I said I have a way to help you find Yun Niang, but the prerequisite is that you have to help Cheng Yao get rid of the poison."

Lu Chenxiao's words were concise and to the point.

But Mr. Wu heard it very clearly.

He asked Lu Chenxiao excitedly, "Are you serious? Can you really find Yun Niang?"

"You're not lying to me, are you? I've been looking for him for more than ten years and haven't been able to find him. How can you find her right away?"

"You must be lying to me. Fang Yuan told me that Yun Niang is no longer alive. You must be trying to trick me into detoxing Cheng Yao."

Mr. Wu, who had been calm and composed just now, had long lost his composure. He was no longer aloof, but just an ordinary man trapped in love.

Lu Chenxiao took out a wooden hairpin that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Mr. Wu.

"You should be very familiar with this peach wood hairpin. I still say the same thing. As long as you help Cheng Yao get rid of the poison, I can help you find your Yun Niang."

Mr. Wu snatched the peach wood hairpin and stroked it carefully.

"This is what I gave to Yunniang back then."

Mr. Wu cried with joy and held the peach wood hairpin against his chest like a treasure.

"Is she okay now?"

"Don't worry, I will bring the person to you safely."

Mr. Wu finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

As for the Fang family, after Meng Yunshang and her two servants left, Mrs. Fang wanted to regain her dominant position in the upper class circle, so she deliberately kept a few friendly families to eat and chat.

Liu was not willing to be outdone, so she also left behind a few other families, and deliberately chose ones not far from Mrs. Fang and others.

The atmosphere should have been harmonious, but the plan was disrupted because Fang Shao and Fang Na were both drunk.

Both of them lost the competition, but Fang Na was more eloquent. He not only mocked Fang Shao for being irresponsible, but also implied that he was not worthy of being the eldest brother of the Fang family.

Fang Shao has always felt that he is superior to others since he was young, so how could he possibly endure such humiliation?

Therefore, regardless of the presence of other guests, he started a fight with Fang Na.

You don't let me, and I won't let you.

As they fought, they both fell into the lake.

By the time Fang Yuan was invited over, the two had already made a fool of themselves.

But this is not the end.

When everyone was lamenting the falling out between the brothers, a servant came hurriedly to report, "Master, something bad has happened. Mr. Wu is missing."

"What!" Fang Yuan's mind was confused and he was unable to come back to his senses for a moment.

"Mr. Wu is missing?"

"Yes, according to the original plan, the gentleman was going to come to the front yard to celebrate the master's birthday, and he also specially prepared a special birthday gift for you, the master."

"But when I was cleaning up the master's room, I found that the birthday present for the master was still on the table. But the master did not come to the front yard or the back yard. It was as if he disappeared out of thin air."

Mrs. Fang was also obviously shocked. "Mr. Wu is such a big man, how could he suddenly disappear?"

Fang Yuan was annoyed by the question, and angrily scolded the servant with a dark face, "Then why are you still standing there? Go find it quickly."

"Ah, yes, yes, I will go find it right away."

"Butler, quickly send the guards to search for Mr. Wu and make sure he is found."

"Yes, sir!"

The servants and guards who were originally preparing to dive into the water to rescue people were pulled away to look for Mr. Wu.

Fang Shao and Fang Na continued to struggle in the lake.

Every time I was about to swim to the shore, I was pushed back to the center of the lake by an inexplicable force.

Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Liu were extremely anxious but could do nothing.

The maids and servants tried their best to pull the two of them out but failed.

It was not until an hour later that the two were dragged ashore exhausted and returned to their respective yards.

When the excitement faded away, Xuanyi and Xuansan, who were sitting on a big tree by the lake, moved to a new position where they could hide their achievements and fame.

At midnight, Fang Yuan's study was already brightly lit.

The butler knelt on the ground trembling and reported, "Master, the doorman said that they saw Mr. Wu go out alone, but there were many people coming in and out at the door at that time, so they didn't see clearly where he went."

Fang Ling stood aside, scolding with a dark face, "Nonsense! Mr. Wu has lived in the mansion for a long time and has nowhere to go. It is impossible for him to leave without saying goodbye."

The housekeeper argued, "But we have searched every corner of the mansion, and there is no sign of Mr. Wu at all."

"But Mr. Wu's personal servant also said that he was originally planning to come to the front yard to celebrate Dad's birthday. How could he suddenly go out? The doorman must have seen it wrong, and you, the housekeeper, are desperate and are just talking nonsense along with him."

"Second Young Master, I..."

"Alright!" Fang Yuan tapped the table lightly, frowned and thought for a moment before saying to the housekeeper, "Early tomorrow morning, you take people to quietly search for Mr. Wu's whereabouts in the city. If anyone asks, say that the lady's Persian cat got lost at the banquet."

"Okay, sir."

"father!"

"Both of you, go down."

Fang Ling wanted to say more, but was frightened into shutting up by Fang Yuan's cold eyes.

Seeing that the butler had already left, he also hurriedly left the study.

As soon as they left, Fang Yuan asked Ling Guqiu who was standing quietly beside him.

"What does Gu Qiu think about today's incident?"

Ling Guqiu bowed and said, "I think what happened today is very strange. As the second young master said, Mr. Wu has been receiving your kindness and has been staying at your house. It doesn't make sense for him to leave without saying goodbye."

"But not only did he disappear, but we don't know where he went. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like he left voluntarily."

"You mean someone came into the mansion and kidnapped him, but what about the gatekeeper who watched Mr. Wu leave?"

"Is it possible that this is just a trick by someone behind the scenes?"

"Mr. Ke can tame beasts and exorcise poisonous insects. Ordinary people can't get close to him at all."

After a moment of silence, Ling Guqiu bowed and asked Fang Yuan, "Sir, what is your relationship with the Cheng family?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I feel that Cheng Shuang's behavior today is very suspicious. If she deliberately provoked the men of the Fang family in order to win honor for the Cheng family, why did she shake hands with you in the end?"

Fang Yuan said with pride, "Jincheng is the territory of the Fang family. Even someone as powerful as Cheng Yao can only lie in bed and leave everything to fate. No matter how powerful Cheng Shuang is, she is still a woman. I think she has also recognized this reality, so she took the initiative to show weakness to me."

Ling Guqiu didn't think so, but he also knew Fang Yuan's character well.

He knew that his groundless suspicion of Cheng Yao would not only fail to convince Fang Yuan, but might also displease him.

After thinking it over again and again, he could only remind him tactfully, "That's what I said, but as long as Cheng Yao is still alive, we can't let our guard down, unless we see Cheng Yao completely disappear in Jincheng."

"You are right. Cheng Yao must die. Only when he dies can the Southwest Army return to the hands of the Fang family."

"Your Excellency is wise," Ling Guqiu complimented him earnestly, but he had some strange thoughts in his mind.
