The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 116 I'll Go Find Him

Knowing that Wen Yao was missing, Mu Ai and Chu He also rushed to Yaju.

As soon as Mu Ai arrived here, he and Mu Lu split into two groups and, following the orders of the Marquis, secretly mobilized the Mu family army.

The appearance of Chu He is very useful.

Previously, it was he who accompanied the "County Lady" Wen Yao into the government office. Therefore, everyone inside and outside Yuzhou Prefecture knew that this person was the most capable guard beside the County Lady. When he walked in the elegant residence, no one dared to neglect him.

Xu Rongrong discussed it briefly with him, and then Chu He left.

Soon, he called the housekeeper of Yaju into the room.

Xu Rongrong was sitting in the inner room, while Chu He asked from the outer room, "Do all the maids in the elegant residence live here permanently?"

The housekeeper naturally knew that Yaju had caused a terrible disaster today! In addition, although the guard who was questioning her was handsome, his face was frosty, which made people feel cold to the bone.

She didn't dare to hide anything at this moment. She knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head. "To answer your question, sir! This place is used by Magistrate Wu to entertain distinguished guests. Few people usually stay here for long periods of time, so there are not many servants in this elegant residence. There are twelve registered maids, four attendants, six servants, and four coachmen."

After she finished speaking, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "But a few days ago, the county lady came, and Lord Wu saw that the county lady only had one maidservant with her, so he asked me to fill in some people for her service."

"As you all know, Yuzhou City has just been hit by a flood. Many wealthy families could no longer afford to support servants, so they released some of their maids. I selected eight good-looking maids from the pawnshop and had them serve the county lady at the elegant residence."

Hearing this, Chu He's face turned a little ugly. Picking people from the pawnshop to serve the county lady showed just how perfunctory Prefect Wu was!

He turned slightly and glanced into the inner room.

Xu Rongrong didn't respond, so he continued, "Are all the newcomers here now?"

The housekeeper trembled, "Just now the master asked me to serve him, so I sent someone to tell him to come. Now... now he is in the yard."

She was telling the truth.

When Chu He walked out of the door, a row of girls in pink bodices and turquoise long skirts were standing in the yard with their heads lowered, looking down and not saying a word.

They didn't know what had happened, but they could easily sense the chill emanating from the man who walked out of the house. They were afraid that tonight would not be easy.

A group of young girls who had never seen the world could not help but tremble. Chu He looked around and saw only seven people.

"Who's missing?" he asked.

The girls looked at each other, not daring to say a word.

"Speak!" Chu He said in a low voice.

The air pressure was so low that a young girl was frightened and immediately fell to her knees. "It's... it's Mu girl. She lives in the same room with me, but I haven't seen her since this afternoon."

Chu He turned around and went back into the house, dragged the housekeeper out and threw her into the yard.

"Where did that girl surnamed Mu work before?"

The housekeeper's body was numb from the fall, but she didn't care to cry out in pain at the moment. She knelt down swiftly and said, "The... the dentistry didn't say anything. I saw that she was smart, hardworking, and... and..."

Chu He didn't allow her to talk too much and pointed a long sword at her throat: "Speak!" "And... she is the cheapest among these girls. I didn't have many demands at that time, so I bought her." She finished speaking tremblingly, her face as pale as death.

"You actually let someone of unknown origin into the elegant residence to serve the county lady?" Chu He was furious. What a bunch of fools! How dare they put her in danger!

He raised his sword and was about to stab him to vent his anger.

"Wait a minute!" Xu Rongrong hurried out of the house and stopped him.

She looked at Chu He and said, "It's important to find the person first."

Chu He put away his sword with a look of surprise, then carried the housekeeper and the maid who had answered earlier into the house.

The door slowly closed behind them.

The candlelight in the room was bright at this moment, but when it shone on the two people's faces, they looked even more pale.

Xu Rongrong half-knelt in front of the trembling maid. "You call her Mu Yatou, but do you know her last name? Where is she from?" Perhaps it was her gentle voice that made the maid feel a little relieved. She looked up at Xu Rongrong and said, "I...I...I don't know. She doesn't like to talk. She only told me her last name is Mu. I saw that she looked very dull, so I just called her Mu Yatou. She never told me where she was from, but her accent doesn't sound like someone from Jiangnan...but...it is similar to yours."

Xu Rongrong stood up straight. It seemed that she was from the capital.

But... who could it be?

If anyone had a grudge against him, the former Marquis of Changxing was one. But he had long since been stripped of his title and expelled from the capital, and his wife and the Crown Prince... well, their graves were probably already overgrown with weeds.

Based on her understanding of Chang Xinghou in her previous life, that man was a coward and a mediocre person, and didn't seem like someone who had the courage to do such a thing.

As for those who hate me... Lin Jiaoyue...

She had forgotten this name for a long time.

But at this moment it flashed through her mind.

If she remembered correctly, she remembered that Lin Jiaoyue had two maids with good skills, both surnamed Mu.

A chill ran through her heart.

If this was really done by Lin Jiaoyue, once she finds out that she has kidnapped the wrong person, Wen Yao's life will definitely be in danger!

Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong's face turned pale and her palms went numb.

Seeing this, Chu He immediately placed his sword across the maid's neck and said, "Think carefully, has she ever told me where she is staying in Yuzhou?"

The girl was shaking like a sieve.

The housekeeper beside her seemed to be about to faint.

Chu He said coldly: "Today, only one of you can walk out of this room alive. Whoever remembers first will live!"

"Wow..." the maid cried out.

Chu He's whole heart was on Xu Rongrong at the moment, so how could he have any sympathy for her?

He pierced the maid's collarbone with a sword: "Shut up!" Blood spurted out, and the maid covered her mouth tightly with her hands. Although she was shaking with pain, she dared not make another sound.

Xu Rongrong looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Which dental shop did you buy that Mu girl from?"

The housekeeper was delighted when she heard this: "Yes! It's the Chengnan Yahang, I remember it now!"

Xu Rongrong didn't comment and glanced at the maid again: "You are almost dead."

The maid burst into tears. An idea flashed through her mind, and she shouted, "Chengnan Zhuangzi!"

"Tell me in detail." Xu Rongrong looked at her.

"One night, Mu Ya went out. When she came back, her shoes were covered in red mud. She even soiled the shoes that the servants had placed beside her! In Yuzhou City, only the farms south of the city have red mud! It must be south of the city! It must be there!"

She yelled excitedly.

Xu Rongrong stood up, hope alight in her heart. She looked at Chu He with sparkling eyes: "Let's go and save them!"

Chu He stood still, not moving. "South of the city, there are no fewer than five red-soil manors."

This one sentence made Xu Rongrong's heart plummet to the bottom.

After a moment, she stood up again: "I'll go find him."

Although, she didn't say his name.

But Chu He knew that the person she needed most right now was not him.

Looking at Xu Rongrong's back as she ran out.

Chu He's eyes gradually became dark.
