Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

"Who opened the door for that doctor? Is he in charge?" Li Mofu asked with a frown.

The little maid shook her head and said, "I opened it. The steward gave me the key."

"Is the key still with you?" Li Mofu asked again.

The little maid nodded and replied, "Yes, the steward is out, and the key is still with me."

After hearing this, Li Mofu hurriedly called the maid to run with him to the east corner gate, but when they arrived at the corner gate, there was no one there. The maid took out the key and opened the door for him, but there was an empty alley outside the door.

Li Mofu hesitated for a moment, then looked down and saw traces of luggage being pushed and pulled on the path leading to the corner gate. This meant that the pharmacist and the child had taken away a very heavy "luggage", even though they had only brought a bag when they came.

"Shit!" Li Mofu understood immediately and stomped on the door sill twice in frustration.

You know, when wealthy families send off people like pharmacists and servants, they always check whether these people have stolen anything before letting them go. Otherwise, if something is lost on the host's side, the manager and relevant personnel will be punished.

But this pharmacist just left with such a large piece of luggage? He clearly told the Zhao family steward before he left, so didn't the steward send someone to check? And didn't the little maid who opened the door for the pharmacist find it strange?!

"Does he have a very heavy and large piece of luggage?" Li Mofu took a deep breath and asked the little maid.

Unexpectedly, the little maid shook her head and said, "No, there were only two people and a bag, and they quickly got on the carriage and left."

Li Mofu uttered a questioning sound. He pointed at the dragging marks on the ground and asked, "What did they move?"

"...I, I don't know. It wasn't there when I opened the door for them!" The little maidservant sensed Li Mofu's questioning and said quickly.

Li Mofu saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so he didn't want to get angry at her anymore. But according to what she said, it was possible that someone else had taken Wang Ruiyan away, and this person had the key.

It could even be a gang crime. First, the pharmacist and the medicine boy drugged Wang Ruiyan and Qiuxiang, knocked them unconscious, and then the pharmacist and the medicine boy left first, while another person put Wang Ruiyan in a box and quietly took her out to reunite with them...

Who can do this?

Should he chase after her first?

The more Li Mofu thought about it, the more depressed he became. He stood at the corner gate and hesitated for a while. Finally, he decided to chase after him and see what happened. Otherwise, by the time others arrived, the doctor would have disappeared!

After making up his mind, Li Mofu turned around and said to the nervous little maid, "Go to my room and find a servant named Guozi. Explain to him what just happened. Tell him that I caught up with him first, and ask him to ask Mo Yi to pick me up!"

After saying this, Li Mofu turned around and ran away, fearing that the group would have left the city gate if he was a moment late.

"Ah? How are you going to chase the guest? Where are you going?!" The little maid shouted in shock at Li Mofu's back.

After Li Mofu ran out of the alley, he came to another road. This place was not as quiet as the area near Zhao's house. There were many shops. Li Mofu immediately asked where the carriages that came out of this alley went.

"Hmm, two carriages came out a while ago," the peddler said after collecting the change. "They both went to the left, probably heading out of the city."

Li Mofu asked again, "How long will it take to get out of the city by carriage?"

"About two or three quarters of an hour. It's very close to the East City Gate." said the peddler.

Li Mofu hurriedly took two steps and then stepped back, then asked with a smile, "Do you know anyone who can drive me to the East City Gate right now?"

The vendor raised an eyebrow, turned his head and shouted to the deserted teahouse behind him, "Daniel! We have business! Hurry up and pull the donkey out to take the customer to the city gate! The customer doesn't mind the money!"

A tall man immediately ran out of the teahouse, gave Li Mofu a simple look, then ran to the back of the shop and came out a few moments later pulling a donkey cart.
