Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

Just then, a clear, melodious yet angry shout suddenly rang out:

"Big brother, second brother, what are you doing? Who gave you the right to stop my fiancé from entering the house?"

Jingyi was waiting for Wu Zihao in her room, but he didn't show up. So she went out to see if he had arrived. Unexpectedly, she saw her two good brothers rudely blocking her fiancé from entering the room. How could she not be angry?

“Little sister, we just want to have a good chat with our brother-in-law and get to know each other better. Why would we not let him into our home?”

When Jingming An saw her younger sister come out, she quickly put on another face and explained to Jingyi in a flattering manner.

"That's right, that's right, little sister, you've misunderstood. We just wanted to have a chat with your brother-in-law."

Jing Mingtian also echoed with a beaming smile.

Jingyi gave a cold laugh and said, "I'll trouble you two brothers to chat. Didn't Father arrange for you to take care of some business? If you delay the important matters, Father will scold you, and then you two brothers will get a scolding again."

“Little sister is right, we’ll go take care of things right away.” Jing Ming’an pulled her older brother and turned to leave, not wanting to fall out with her little sister at this moment.

On the surface, it seems that Jing Ming'an is always at the forefront, but in reality, it is Jing Mingtian who is pushing things along from behind.

He had already planned how to sabotage his younger sister's marriage.

He had already written to Lu Yanting in the prefectural city, and was just waiting for him to arrive so that he could carry out his plan.

Jingyi watched her two brothers walk away coldly before putting on a smile and turning to Wu Zihao, saying, "Brother Wu, let's go."

"Okay." Wu Zihao reached out and helped Jingyi into the carriage.

After taking his fiancée to pay respects to his father, Wu Zihao sent her back to Jing's home.

On this sunny day, Wuyang County welcomed a grand market day.

The market was packed with people, and the sounds of noise and vendors hawking their wares filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere!

Jingyi and Muxia had already made plans to go shopping together.

They weaved through the crowded streets, looking around curiously.

They strolled around, admiring the colorful fabrics and touching the delicate trinkets, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Just then, Jingyi suddenly felt a strong force coming from behind, and the back of her head was hit hard before she could react.

All I felt was a sudden darkness before my eyes, and my body went limp as I collapsed, then I lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, Mu Xia was staring at an extremely cute doll not far away, eager to share her joy with Jing Yi:

"Jingyi, come here quickly, this doll is so cute."

After a while, when his friend still hadn't come over, he realized something was wrong.

He looked up and glanced around, but couldn't see Jingyi anywhere; she had vanished without a trace.

Anxious, he quickly summoned several maids to help him search frantically.

The group searched the vicinity but still couldn't find Jingyi.

Mu Xia was extremely anxious, and with trembling hands she ordered, "Mei'er, quickly go back to the manor and tell your aunt to send some people over to look for us as soon as possible."

Mei'er searched around but couldn't find her young mistress. Standing on the bustling street, she was completely flustered and extremely anxious.

The young lady was just beside her a moment ago, how could she have disappeared in the blink of an eye? What should she do? What should she do?

Upon hearing Madam Lin's voice, Mei'er seemed to snap out of her daze and muttered to herself, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go back to the manor right away and call someone to find Miss."

As he spoke, he ran towards Jing's house.

Mu Xia instructed Xin'er and one of her maids to continue searching here, and not to go too far, so that if Jingyi returned, she would see the two of them.

She herself went to find Wu Zihao with a maid. Wang Qing'er and the others returned to the village early this morning.

Wu Zihao was guarding the workshop in the new courtyard. After finding their carriage, the master and servant headed straight for the Mu family.

Mei'er ran back to the Jing family home as fast as she could, rushing to the main courtyard. Just then, Jing's mother was drinking tea in the main hall. She gasped for breath and said, "Madam, Miss, Miss is missing."

After saying that, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly to Madam Jing to admit his mistake.

It's her fault, it's all her fault. She didn't take good care of Miss, which is why Miss went missing.

Upon hearing this, Jing's mother was so shocked that she knocked over the teacup on the table, causing it to shatter into pieces on the floor, which filled her with an ominous premonition.

Her voice trembled as she pressed, "Quick, tell me clearly, what happened to Yi'er?"

Mei'er wiped away her tears. "This servant doesn't know what happened either. Miss suddenly disappeared. We've searched the surrounding area, but we still can't find her. Young Madam Lin asked me to go back to the manor and bring people to search for her."

Mei'er was extremely worried. She had been serving her mistress for five years, and her mistress always treated them, the servants, very well, never beating, scolding, or mistreating them.

Miss, you absolutely must not get into any trouble.

"Granny, quickly, quickly send all the maids and servants in the manor to the street to look for Miss, but keep it quiet." Jing's mother ordered in a trembling voice, not forgetting to add a reminder.

A daughter's sudden disappearance is not a good thing; if word gets out, it could damage her reputation.

"Yes, this old servant will go right away." The old nanny responded and turned to go out to gather the maids and servants of the house, and Mei'er led them out to find someone.

The old nanny prayed in her heart, hoping that her young lady, who was so beautiful and had just gotten engaged, would not fall into the hands of those wicked people.

Although Jing's mother was extremely anxious, she had to remain calm. She sent someone to the shop to look for Master Jing, as well as the brothers Jing Mingtian and Jing Ming'an, and told them to go out and search for them as well.

With only Jing's mother and the old nanny and servant left at home, Jing's mother could no longer sit still.

He paced anxiously back and forth in the courtyard, his mind racing with questions. What had happened to Yi'er? Had someone kidnapped her? They hadn't offended anyone in the family.

Jingyi was knocked unconscious before being carried away and placed in a courtyard.

"Cheng Er, this girl is quite pretty. Why don't we two brothers have some fun with her first? Even just a kiss would be satisfying!"

The speaker was the round-faced man that the Jing brothers had met at the teahouse in the prefectural city that day.

Looking at the pretty girl lying quietly on the bed, his eyes were gleaming with lust.

"What are you thinking, kid? She's the woman Young Master Lu has his eye on. The Lu family is not one we can afford to offend."

Cheng Er punched the round-faced man in an annoyed manner, kindly reminding him.

Young Master Lu promised them one hundred taels of silver if they kidnapped the person.

Now all he had to do was wait for Lu Shao to come, hand the man over to him, and he would get the money. He didn't want any complications.

"Okay," the round-faced man replied reluctantly.

"Let's go, let's wait for Lu Shao in the courtyard." Cheng Er was worried that his brother might not be able to control himself and do something outrageous.

Having ruined her plans, she dragged him out of the room and stood guard at the door.
