The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

Song Jinshu felt heartbroken, not angry.

Being stabbed in the back by the most trusted relative is worse than being killed.

“I don’t blame you, and I certainly don’t blame Wenjun. I blame myself. If I had seen through their true colors sooner, you wouldn’t have had to live in fear.”

Madam Min sighed softly: "It's better to see things clearly sooner rather than later than to be kept in the dark. Otherwise, you might get tricked by them one day without even knowing it."

"You're right." Song Jinshu finally felt relieved: "I was too trusting of others."

"Brother, you can't give your heart away so easily anymore."

Song Jinshu looked at Song Wenjun in confusion: "This time, we owe you a lot. If you hadn't gotten the news from the other ladies, your sister-in-law would probably have been scared to death. Luckily, I hid in the secret room in advance and saw their true colors."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Xiao Tao rushed in from outside and said to Song Wenjun, "Madam, something terrible has happened in the manor."

"What happened?" Song Wenjun asked, puzzled.

Xiao Tao's face showed a panicked expression, as if she wanted to speak but dared not: "If I tell you, you must hold on."

Seeing Xiao Tao's expression, Song Wenjun's heart inexplicably skipped a beat: "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

"Yes, it was Jiang Miaoyin. She took the young prince away and we don't know where she ran off to."

Song Jinshu and Madam Min both gasped in shock: "What? How did she get close to Yan Yan? Aren't there servants guarding the courtyard?"

Xiao Tao's face flushed with anxiety as she said, "Mother Xu took the young master to the courtyard to sunbathe. She felt a bit cold during the process, so she asked Yu'er to go back and get clothes for the young master. Jiang Miaoyin disguised herself as a maid and knocked Mother Xu unconscious. Then she set a fire and took advantage of the chaos to sneak out from the backyard."

"Quickly, back to the manor." Song Wenjun felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by a large hand, and endless panic and helplessness overwhelmed her.

She struggled to stay upright, feeling as if she were about to collapse.

His face turned as white as paper in an instant.

Xiao Tao quickly helped her up and said worriedly, "Madam, you must hold on."

Song Wenjun calmed herself down, suppressed her panic, and said calmly, "Send the guards to the city gate to stop her. She can't have gone far with the child. Distribute her portrait quickly, report the case to the government office, and send someone to tell the Marquis to return immediately."

Song Wenjun calmly issued the orders. Looking at her pale face, Madam Min felt extremely distressed: "Wenjun, don't be too anxious. We will definitely get the child back."

"Yes, Wenjun, don't worry, your brother will help you find your child."

After Song Jinshu finished speaking, he summoned his servants and ordered, "Take everyone and search for the young master of the Marquis's mansion with all your might. You must bring him back."

The child was Song Wenjun's life; if the child could not be found, Song Wenjun would not be able to live.

Song Wenjun shook her head and said, "The child will be fine, but Jiang Miaoyin is determined to take the child away, so she won't let me find her so easily."

"I'm afraid she'll poison the child, that vicious woman." Song Jinshu slammed her fist on the table in anger, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Brother, don't worry, she would rather die than let anything happen to the child." Song Wenjun didn't want to reveal too much about the child's parentage to her brother.

The more they know, the more dangerous they become.

Song Jinshu and Madam Min looked at her in confusion and asked, "How did you know?"

"She's desperate now. Taking the child away is just a way to survive. The child is just a bargaining chip in her hands. How could she let anything happen to the child?"

After listening, the two of them had an expression of sudden realization: "That makes sense."

Without further delay, Song Wenjun quickly boarded a carriage and headed to the Marquis's residence.

With such a major incident at home, Jiang Miaoyin alone could not possibly take the child and leave the Marquis's residence.

All entrances and exits are guarded; no matter how capable she is, she cannot take the child out of the mansion without anyone noticing.

Song Wenjun was certain that someone in the household was in cahoots with her.

As soon as she returned to the manor, the steward knelt down in front of her: "Madam, spare me! Madam, spare me! It was all because I was not careful enough that Jiang took advantage of the situation. Please forgive me, Madam."

Besides the steward, a whole bunch of servants and maids were kneeling in the courtyard.

Suppressing her anger, Song Wenjun asked, "Does the old Marquis know?"

"Yes, yes, I know. The old Marquis fell ill from anger and is still unconscious. Physician Qin has already gone there." The steward was so frightened that he was trembling. If anything happened to the young master, he wouldn't be able to pay for it even if he had ten lives.

Song Wenjun looked at the maids and servants kneeling in the courtyard and said coldly, "Jiang has fled the Marquis's mansion with the young master. If any of you know anything about it, speak up now, or if I find out about you, I will not spare you."

The scene was completely silent; the maids and servants all kept their heads down, and not a single person spoke.

"You won't talk, is that it?" Song Wenjun suddenly gave an order: "Guards, arrest the people on duty in the backyard today and beat them."

At the command, the maids and servants all screamed in terror.

One of the old women, terrified, crawled forward a few steps and said to Song Wenjun, "Madam, spare me! Today, it was Granny Li who was guarding the back gate, but for some reason, she wasn't there!"

"It is worth it; I beg you, Madam, to investigate further."

"Yes, madam, it's Granny Li who's on duty in the backyard. It has nothing to do with us."

Song Wenjun swept her cold eyes across the crowd and asked, "Where is Granny Li?"

The crowd looked at each other, bewildered, and shook their heads, saying, "We don't know."

"Butler, bring him back to me!" Song Wenjun shouted.

The steward responded and led a few people toward the servants' quarters.

After the incident, he immediately sealed off the Marquis's residence, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving.

Therefore, after the steward arrived at the servants' quarters, he went straight to Granny Li's room.

As soon as the courtyard gate was pushed open, it was seen that the people inside had already left.

The steward stomped his foot in anger and cursed, "Damn it, that old woman Li got away! Go after her!"

The Marquis's mansion is so large that it is currently guarded both in front and behind.

Even if Granny Li wanted to run away, it would take her some effort.

The butler and his men searched the front and back yards when suddenly someone exclaimed, "Found it!"

Li Pozi was pulled out of the artificial hill, and she was still holding a bundle in her arms, with gold and silver utensils scattered all over the ground.

In addition, there were many gold and silver jewelry and gold ingots.

"Spare me, spare me!" Granny Li screamed in terror.

“If I spare you, I’ll be the one who should die.” The steward showed no mercy to Granny Li and brought her and her belongings before Song Wenjun.

Knowing she was in deep trouble, Granny Li knelt down in fear and betrayed Jiang Miaoyin completely: "Madam, spare my life! It was Jiang who bribed me to leave for a while. I never imagined she would have the audacity to kidnap the young master!"
