In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

The next day, when the city gate opened, Qi Fu, with a gloomy face, brought Qi You, Qi Jiao and Miss Yuan Er into the city.

Yesterday, he and his servants searched the top and bottom of Dongshan Mountain, covering an area of ​​ten miles in radius. Except for the Ghost Valley, they did not dare to approach. He searched everywhere, but could not find the whereabouts of his eldest niece Qi Wan.

He was very depressed. "This is strange. If the person disappears, the carriage can also disappear?"

Qi You asked: "Dad, has the carriage entered the Ghost Valley?"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to get out once we get in there." Qi Fu said anxiously.

"Is Ghost Valley that scary?" Qi You asked, "Are there tigers or leopards?"

"I don't know what's there, but no one dares to enter that valley. Legend has it that anyone who enters will disappear." Qi Fu said, "It's better to believe it than not to believe it."

There was a local farmer who was called by them to search the mountain together. When he heard about the Ghost Valley, he had a terrified expression and waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't say it, many people have seen ghosts."

A white shadow flashed past their eyes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, there's a ghost!" Qi Fu and Qi You screamed in horror. The group of people were scared to death and ran away with their heads in their hands.

Qi Fu searched for a whole day but still couldn't find anyone. He was desperate and said, "It's over. I'm going to be killed by the eldest son."

It was getting dark, and the servants of the third house were sent by the third wife to deliver a message on horseback, "The eldest lady has returned to the mansion, the third master should bring the young master and the young lady back soon."

Qi Fu hurriedly led his men back to the capital, but the city gates had already been closed.

He called out from outside, "Open the city gate quickly, we are from the Qi family of the General's Mansion."

The guard said: "No one can open the city gate unless they have the general's token."

They could only sit outside the city all night, feeling hungry, tired, and unable to sleep well.

Qi Jiao and Yuan Zhaodi cried several times that day.

"It's so hot, oooo..."

"So thirsty, oooo..."

"I'm so hungry, woo woo..."

"Oh, my God, there's a wolf. So scary. Woo woo ...

They have lived for thirteen or fourteen years and have never suffered such torment.

The maids tried to persuade her, "Miss, if you can't find the eldest lady, you will be in big trouble if you go back."

"Miss cousin, don't cry. It's good that the eldest daughter is safe. If something happens, alas, the eldest branch of the family will probably split up."

The two young ladies dreamed every day of having fancy clothes to wear, expensive jewelry to wear, and marrying into a wealthy family in the future.

As for the consequences of not finding Qi Wan, they didn't think about it at all, nor did they care.

"It would be better if she died!" Qi Jiao cursed, "She made me suffer so much."

"She must be dead." Yuan Zhaodi cursed.

The old women and maids could only sigh and shake their heads.

If the eldest daughter of the first house cannot be found, the third house will have to wait to be kicked out of the Qi Mansion.

The good days of Miss Sanfang are over.

The anger of Qi Fu and his son turned into uneasiness when they returned to the quiet Qi Mansion.

"It would be terrible if the truth about what happened yesterday were to be discovered," Qi Fu said to his son.

Qi You shook his head, "No, no, not many people know about it, so they won't tell you."

They felt guilty and didn't dare to go to the upper courtyard to see Qi Lu, so they slipped back to the yard and pretended nothing had happened.

The family closed the door and quietly discussed countermeasures.

"What should we do? This time the plan failed and the Third Prince's leg was broken." Qi You was very scared as he still owed the Third Prince a huge sum of money.

Qi Fu grabbed his hair with both hands, pulling his scalp so hard that it hurt, hoping to find a good way to solve the current dilemma.

He was afraid that his father and the eldest son's family would find out that he had seduced the third prince to harm his eldest niece, and he was very scared.

Being beaten with a stick would be the lightest punishment for him. He would be beaten half to death and driven out of the Qi Mansion.

For a family of four with servants, the dowry from his mother and wife was not enough.

Qi Fu thought to himself, "Why didn't that carriage crush the Third Prince to death today?"

The Third Lady said, "It's all right, it's all right. If the eldest house asks, just say you don't know. If father-in-law asks, just say it was someone else who made up a story to instigate trouble."

Qi Fu said with a sad face, "I'm afraid that the Third Prince didn't accomplish his mission, didn't get the person, and was injured. He will get angry and send someone to tell my father. That will be a big trouble."

"What should we do?" asked the third lady, she was terrified.

She stretched out her hand and gestured, gritting her teeth and said fiercely: "Let's just go all the way."

The father and son looked at her, stunned.

Xiao Ding actually dared to say out loud what the other two of them dared not even think about.

Killing one's father is a crime punishable by slow slicing.

"Shut up." Qi Fu roared angrily.

Xiao Ding pouted, "Alas, I am trying to find a solution."

Qi Fu waved his hand unhappily, "Get out of here and don't make trouble."

The three of them looked at each other, unable to come up with a good solution.

In order to plan to marry Qi Wan to the third prince, they will benefit in the future.

The third wife’s son has not yet considered getting married.

They wanted to be granted a title, have their son marry a woman from a high-class family, and have a generous dowry.

They feel that it is becoming increasingly difficult to realize this dream.

The light in room three stayed on all night.

The next morning, Imperial Physician Yuan came to Qi's house in person.

Butler Qi greeted him warmly and said, "Doctor Yuan, the eldest and young masters are not at home. They are out on business. The third master and his family are here. Should we notify the third master to come and meet them?"

"Gone." Doctor Yuan waved his hand, "I'm here to take my second daughter back home."

"Please come this way." Butler Qi led the way and brought Doctor Yuan into the inner courtyard through the west corner door, and then through another inner door into the Hibiscus Courtyard.

When the servants of the Yuan family saw the master coming, they hurriedly bowed.

The old woman stepped forward and whispered, "The second young lady is sleeping. She went to Dongshan yesterday..."

The young lady had spent a day and a night outside. She was afraid of taking responsibility, so she explained the whole story to the old man in detail.

The more Doctor Yuan listened, the angrier he became. The Third House and the Third Prince had plotted against the eldest house's daughter. It was extremely despicable and shameless, and they had even involved his second daughter in it.

The third wife's affair was settled, and her daughter was promised to the third prince as a concubine.

What about his daughter? I'm afraid she's dead.

In that way, what the third house and the third prince did would be kept secret perfectly.

Doctor Yuan said coldly: "Go wake up the second young lady, I will take her home."

"Yes, sir."

The maid went in and called out, "Second Miss, get up quickly. The master is here to take you back to the mansion."

Zhaodi was awakened from his dream and yelled angrily on the bed, "I won't go back."

"You're not going back, right? I'll come in and tie you up and take you back." Doctor Yuan yelled even louder.

Seeing that his father had lost his temper, Yuan Zhaodi was afraid of being kidnapped and taken home to be punished, so he had to get up, asked the servants to hurriedly pack his luggage, and got on the carriage with a sad face and left the Qi Mansion.

In the afternoon, Qi Lu came back with a letter of appointment and ordered his servant to call Qi Fu.

"Third Master, I would like you to go to the study in the front yard."

Qi Fu shuddered with fear, "It's over, it's over. Someone must have reported me."

No matter how scared he was, he had to go see his brother.

Qi Fu timidly went to the study in the front yard, walked in with his head down, bowed, and asked, "Brother, why did you ask me to come here?"

Qi Lu said, "Before my father left for the other courtyard, he asked me to find you a position, saying that he couldn't let you remain an idler forever."

"I went to ask my uncle the Prime Minister to find a job for you." Qi Lu raised a piece of paper in his hand and asked, "Will you go to Yangzhou to be an official?"

Qi Fu was extremely surprised and nodded repeatedly, "I'll go, I'll go." He walked forward excitedly and took the letter of appointment with both hands.

"If you want to go, leave tomorrow."

"Yes, brother."

Qi Fu didn't even say thank you, but turned and ran back to tell his wife and children the good news, "I'm going to be an official in Yangzhou, and our family is going to be rich."

The third room suddenly burst into laughter.

"My husband has got an official position, haha." Xiao Ding laughed, her back teeth showing, and the fat on her face trembled.

"Hahahaha, our family is going to get rich." Qi You laughed in surprise, his eyes shining and the flesh on his face surging like waves.

Yangzhou produces salt and skinny horses.
