The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Besides, as for the sixty strokes of the cane, even a strong man would have his skin torn and his bones and tendons broken after being hit by twenty strokes.

After fifty lashes, I guess few of those dozen people would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, these people were all servants of the Xue family, so even if they were beaten to death, they only needed to report to the government office.

At this time, Xue's mother looked a little anxious, but her tone was still calm without any panic. She asked,

"So, Pan'er was really kidnapped by a strong man?"

"Have you reported the case to the authorities?"

Butler Zhang lowered his hands and said respectfully,

"I have already sent someone to report the case to the prefectural government!"

Then he continued,

"I know a few people in Jinling. I've sent someone to take the two hundred taels of silver and find the Huazi Gang. They have many people and eyes, so please let them help find me."

Mother Xue's expression relaxed when she heard this, and she nodded.

"Okay, just go and sit down. No matter how much money it costs, you must ensure Pan'er's safety."

Butler Zhang, bow and clasp your fists.

"Yes, ma'am! I understand."

After thinking for a while, Butler Zhang asked again,

"Madam, would you mind writing a letter to the Wang and Xue families, asking them to..."

Upon hearing this, Xue's mother frowned and shook her head.

"We don't even know where they've gone. What's the point of looking for them? We're an orphan and a widow, and they're looking down on us for no reason!"

Butler Zhang nodded when he heard this.

"I know what to do now!"

Just then, Xue Baochai's voice came from behind the screen.

"Uncle Zhang, please order the servants and guards in the mansion to be on alert and protect the safety of everyone in the mansion. Don't give thieves and those with ill intentions any opportunity to take advantage of the situation!"

"Also, you must always keep an eye on the people or things that appear around the Xue Mansion, and report any news immediately."

Hearing the voice coming from behind the screen, Zhang Bo's expression was startled.

He immediately bowed respectfully to the screen and clasped his fists.

"Yes, Miss, I understand! I'll go over here and make the arrangements!"

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

When only Xue's mother and Xue Baochai were left in the room,

The resolute and calm expression on Xue's mother's face disappeared.

Sitting restlessly, he said anxiously to Xue Baochai behind the screen,

"Baochai, what should I do?"

"You good-for-nothing, you were actually kidnapped by thieves."

"If anything happens to him, how will we live?"

Hearing her mother's words, Xue Baochai slowly stood up from behind the screen and walked to her mother's side.

Holding her hand, he sat beside her and comforted her softly.

"Mom, don't be too anxious now, otherwise there will be chaos in the mansion."

Then he said,

"Since the thief sent the letter, it means he must be asking for something."

"Since he has something to ask for, he will certainly not easily harm my brother's life. We just need to wait for him to write us again to find out what he wants."

Xue's mother's expression softened slightly when she heard this.

"For now, this is the only solution!"

Then they said,

"When your brother comes back, I will tie his legs with iron chains and keep him in the mansion. I won't let him go out!"

at this time,

Suddenly, Ying'er, Xue Baochai's maid, hurried in from outside the hall.

He came to Xue Baochai and bowed hastily.

Shortness of breath,

"Miss, little miss, something bad has happened."

Xue's mother had just calmed down, but when she heard this, she frowned.

"What happened again? What's wrong? Who got kidnapped again?"

Ying'er was so frightened by Xue's mother's aura that her whole body trembled and she quickly knelt on the ground.

Xue Baochai gently patted her mother's back and said comfortingly,

"Mom, don't be angry. Ying'er is a cautious person. Something must have happened."

Then he gave orders to the maid standing outside the door,

"Cui'er, bring tea to my mother."

Mother Xue snorted and turned her head away, but her eyes were still on Ying'er.

After all, she is Xue Baochai's own maid, so she should ask it herself.

Xue Baochai stepped forward, pulled Ying'er up, and asked,

"Ying'er, what happened?"

Ying'er said hurriedly,

"Miss, the house was in such a mess just now. I was worried about Sister Xiangling being alone, so I went to look for her."
