Bai Qiaoyin kicked her away in disgust and said coldly, "Luo Yunshang, you could have survived. If you hadn't returned to the capital, I wouldn't have come after you even if you had gone to the ends of the earth. But you should never have knelt in front of the Fang family's door!"

Luo Yunshang really regretted it, but she still wanted to give it a try at that time. How glorious it would be if she could become the wife of the major general of the Fang family.

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Cousin, can you give me another chance? I beg you!"

Bai Qiaoyin looked down at her and said, "If you can tell me about the spies Cheng Zhenzhen has planted in the capital, I might give you a chance to live!"

Luo Yunshang was stunned. She had no idea at all.

Cheng Zhenzhen was an extremely cunning woman. Whenever she had any orders, she always gave them at short notice. Even if she was asked to return to the capital now, she was only told that she must secure the position of the Major General's wife. As for what her mission was, she had no idea.

Seeing her confused look, Bai Qiaoyin stopped asking questions.

She said in a deep voice: "Come here, send Miss Luo to reunite with Madam Bai!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a nanny in black walked quickly into the woodshed.

Luo Yunshang cried out in a hoarse voice: "No, cousin, don't be so cruel!"

However, Bai Qiaoyin turned a deaf ear and left with Lin Yiwan.

Soon, the screams were no longer heard by the two of them.

After returning to the warm room, Bai Qiaoyin sighed helplessly: "I never thought that Luo Yunshang and I would come to this point!"

Lin Yiwan soothed her softly, "Sister-in-law, being kind to your enemy is being cruel to yourself. If you spare her life today, she will come back tomorrow and put you and your child in danger!"

Bai Qiaoyin naturally understood this truth, she just felt a little emotional for a moment.

She quickly changed the subject: "Wanwan, Cheng Zhenzhen has an old grudge against you, and she's full of deceitful tricks. You must be careful and don't fall for her schemes!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "I know what I'm doing. I live in the Prince Li's Mansion with my three children. Even if she has more tricks, she can't do anything to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.

Then Zi'er rushed in with an anxious look on her face and said, "Madam Hou, the old lady is missing!"

Lin Yiwan's face suddenly changed. The old lady was Zhan Yan's biological mother, and she couldn't make any mistakes.

She stood up and walked outside, startling Bai Qiaoyin to follow her.

Lin Yiwan quickly stopped her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I have so many guards around me. They can help look for her. You can't handle the hassle of running around!"

Bai Qiaoyin said anxiously: "Wanwan, I want to do my part too!"

Lin Yiwan said, "I understand, but things are still unclear. I don't want you to have any more accidents. Otherwise, how can I explain to my brother?"

Bai Qiaoyin didn't force him any further. She could only remind him, "Then you have to be careful. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me. I will help you even if it costs me my own life!"

Lin Yiwan nodded, turned around and left in a hurry.

She returned to the Zhan Yihou Mansion and frowned at the maids serving the old lady. "When did the old lady disappear?"

Several people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and replied, "She was copying scriptures in her room during dinner. When the servants came to serve her and let her rest, she disappeared!"

Lin Yiwan strode into the room and found that the copied scriptures were still on the table. The ink had not yet completely dried, which showed that they had been kidnapped not long ago.

She quickly ordered, "Hurry up and search all the surrounding official roads to see if there are any suspicious people walking around."

"Yes!" Zi'er took the lead and led everyone away quickly.

Ling'er had already arrived with Lin Ran. He asked worriedly, "Wanwan, are you sure your mother-in-law was kidnapped?"

Lin Yiwan frowned immediately, she was really not sure.

Because there were no signs of fighting in the house!

Logically speaking, given my mother-in-law's intelligence, whenever she encountered danger, she should have left some clues.

Lin Ran didn't wait for her answer, but looked at the maid: "You are all the servants who usually serve the old lady. First, look for anything missing from her room."

Several people hurriedly searched for it, but a moment later, a maid came out quickly and said, "Reporting to Master Lin, the old lady had a set of men's clothes in her wardrobe before, but now it can't be found!"

Lin Ran was stunned. "Men's clothing? Did the old lady go out in disguise?"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but mutter, "It's so late, where can she go?"

Lin Ran replied, "There are only a few places open at night in the capital: gambling houses, brothels, and brothels. Oh, and there's an underground horse racing ground that's been quite popular lately. I don't think the old lady would go to one of those places to get married, would she?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the maid's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked, "Master Lin, is the underground racecourse on Red Sparrow Street?"

Lin Ran nodded: "Yes!"

The maid quickly replied, "Then your Excellency may have guessed correctly. The old lady has asked us about the underground racecourse on Red Sparrow Street before. She is very curious!"

Lin Yiwan quickly spoke up: "There's no time to lose, let's go to the horse farm and take a look!"

The two men changed their clothes first, and then went to the underground racecourse on Red Cardinal Street with a few insiders.

Lin Yiwan was wearing men's clothes at this time, which made her look more heroic, just like a pretty scholar with red lips and white teeth.

Lin Ran frowned and looked at her: "Wanwan, do you want to paint your face darker?"

She was puzzled: "Why?"

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before speaking, "A place like a horse ranch is full of people of all kinds. Even though you're wearing men's clothing, your appearance is still too eye-catching. If someone with ulterior motives harasses you, it would be quite annoying!"

Lin Yiwan was also afraid of getting into trouble, so she immediately took out some black powder and painted her entire cheeks black.

Just as I finished packing, the carriage stopped.

The two strode towards the entrance of the stables, but were stopped by a gatekeeper wearing a silver mask. He said in a deep voice, "According to the rules of the stables, everyone entering must wear a mask!"

Lin Ran turned around and looked around, and sure enough, he saw a mask shop.

He grabbed Lin Yiwan's wrist and said, "Let's go pick out a mask!"

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, the gatekeeper's eyes hidden behind the mask were filled with a hint of amusement.

Lin Yiwan chose a fox mask, while Lin Ran wore a wolf mask.

When the two of them returned to the gatekeeper, he said, "You two are truly a perfect match!"

Lin Yiwan was about to ask what it meant, but she realized it later.

She quickly shook off Lin Ran's wrist and reminded him in a low voice: "Uncle, have you ever seen two men holding hands on the street?"

Lin Ran's face flushed instantly, but fortunately, the mask covered it so it was not noticeable.

The two were taken to the inner field, and soon they heard someone shouting, "Baiyun, run! Hurry! My life and fortune are all on your shoulders. If you can't take first place, I'll die!"
