Finally, he walked in front of her. His originally ice-cold eyes were now filled with the radiance of the stars. With an apologetic tone, he said, "I've come too late."
"No, it's just right." Lian Ruyue tightly stared back at him, suppressing the wild beating of her heart as she spoke.
"Come." he said, holding out his hand to her.
Lian Ru Yue was startled as she stared at the palm in front of her. Her fingers were long and slender, her joints were clear and clean, and the shape of her fingertips was very beautiful.
Without hesitation, she placed her blood-stained hand on his palm.
Her hand was very beautiful. It was stained with blood, but it was still white and tender. The ten fingers on her hand were glowing with a white luster, as if they were carved out of jade.
With a flip of his hand, he grasped her hand. It was as if he was holding his entire world.
Prime Minister's Estate, West District
"I mean it!" When Auntie Xiao heard this, she abruptly stood up, unable to conceal her excitement. "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"It's absolutely true. This servant saw Eldest Miss riding her horse and leading Chief Guard Lian's group out. I heard they were rushing to save young master, and it seems like young master was captured by someone. Right now it's very dangerous."
Senior Servant Zhen reported everything she saw and heard.
"Hahaha …" Auntie Xiao happily laughed, gloating, "It seems that this little bitch, Ru Yue, has walked too many roads at night and finally met a ghost. I wasn't the only one who wanted her dead."
"I really didn't expect that the young miss would be so daring. A girl like her isn't afraid of gossip, and she would ride her horse to show her face outside. Which family's young master would dare to marry her in the future?" Senior Servant Zhen didn't approve of this young miss' actions at all.
"What's there to be afraid of about someone she doesn't even care about? Whoever marries her would have to have eight lifetimes of bad luck to have married such a wicked woman! " Auntie Xiao said with loathing.
"I wonder who it is that wants to kidnap Young Master?" Look, young master has never offended anyone. " Senior Servant Zhen didn't understand.
"Whoever dares to kidnap the son of the dignified prime minister is naturally not a good person. Lian Ru Yue has really met her opponent this time, but she doesn't know her own limits and still went to save people. She thinks she can do whatever she wants in the mansion, and that she will be able to do it in the outside world."
At the same time, she was cursing in her heart. No matter who the other party was, they shouldn't let Lian Lu Yue come back. It would be best if their corpses were exposed in the wilderness to vent their anger.
"But, Miss is a strange person. Have you forgotten that nothing can happen to her?" Senior Servant Zhen lowered her voice as she spoke, a chill rising up her spine.
"Humph!" "She can't die because she hasn't met the real King of Hell. Now that she's met him, it's absolutely impossible for her to be safe and sound?"
"How did Aunt know he was the real King of Hell?"
"Think about it, how many people have the guts and boldness to seize the opportunity when the Old Master, Second Master, and Third Master aren't even in the mansion and make their move in broad daylight? If this isn't the King of Hell, then what is?" Although Aunt Xiao was also curious as to who did it, she was more willing to see Lian Ruyue and her little sister gone without a return!
"Right, how about Qing An and Fu An?" she asked eagerly.
"I heard First Wife fainted twice the moment she heard the news. Senior Servant Zhou had to use all her strength to pinch someone before recovering. She's currently crying." Senior Servant Zhen couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"Useless thing!" She felt exceptionally happy in her heart.
"The madame has managed to hold on. Have the steward take her handwritten letter to the palace to find esteemed wangfei and have esteemed wangfei go to the emperor to notify the old master. The old master just returned to the estate, and it's a mess right now." Senior Servant Zhen continued in a hushed tone.
"Hmph." Auntie Xiao's gaze turned colder and colder as she said, "Let's cry and be disorderly. It's best if everyone is disordered." "Let's go take a look!"
Aunt Xiao really didn't want to miss out on such a wonderful scene. She tidied up her clothes and walked out. She wanted to coldly look at those people and cry!
After receiving the news, Lian Yanqing hurried back to the Manor. The Countess and the First Madam had been waiting anxiously at the Manor's entrance the entire time. Upon seeing her, the Countess hurriedly walked over and said:
"Yanqing, you must think of a way to save my obedient grandson and granddaughter. They are the legitimate sons and daughters of our Prime Minister!" The usually calm madame's voice also trembled.
"Master, Yue Er, a girl, ran over to save him, I'm afraid …" Quickly think of a way! " When the first wife panicked, she lost her focus.
Lian Yanqing tightened his brows and said, "General Liu Fu has already led three thousand men to search. I'm afraid that Mother and Madam will worry and come back to wait for news."
The madame's heart remained hanging in the air as she said, "Who is it that wants to do something to my tricks!?" He's so obedient, and he has never offended anyone before. "
"Mother, your son will definitely investigate this clearly. Who would want to go against my Prime Minister's Palace? Who dares to offend me? I'll definitely not let you off!" Lian Yan Qing tightly clenched his fists at his side as his eyes revealed a trace of coldness. He, Lian Yan Qing, had been in the government for decades and was now an extremely popular man. There was even someone who dared to publicly touch his son. This person —
His background was not small!
The first wife's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale. A trace of uneasiness flashed across her face, and blue veins appeared on the back of her hand as she held the handkerchief.
"Mother, Madam, you should all go back and wait for news. There's no point in getting anxious here." Lian Yanqing said to the two people beside him.
The madame sighed and said, "Then let's go back first. Xi Er, Senior Servant Song, let everyone from Qing An Courtyard prepare to burn incense and recite buddhist scriptures with me. Let Yue'er and Yi'er return safely."
The madame and the first wife each returned to their own courtyard. Lian Yan Qing paced back and forth, waiting for General Liu's news.
Fuan Courtyard.
When the first wife returned to her room, she immediately dismissed everyone else, leaving behind only Senior Servant Zhou and her servant, who hurriedly shut their doors and windows.
The first wife sat on a chair, her face pale. Her hand tightly gripped the handkerchief against her lapel as she asked Senior Servant Zhou in a low voice.
"Momo, honestly speaking, where did you come from?"
"Madam!" Zhou mama bent her knees and knelt on the ground. "This servant, this servant doesn't know either. At that time, I was in a hurry to find a boy, so I entrusted Fifth Aunt with the handkerchief from my hometown.
One day Fifth Aunt came to me and told me that our child had it, and I followed her secretly to the country, and saw the boy lying in his cradle, and Fifth Aunt said that she had also picked it up by the river.
I thought, I must have been abandoned by my parents, is also a poor child, let the doctor see healthy, secretly brought back! "I was afraid that Fifth Aunt would reveal the secret and send her away with the money."
The first wife's face turned even uglier and she found it harder to breathe. Sweat dripped down her forehead as she mumbled, "This time, it's probably his family that came and wants to bring him home. Now … What do we do now? If this matter were to be exposed, I would no longer have a place in the Prime Minister's Estate. Yue'er would also be implicated. How can I face him? "
"Madam, madam!" Senior Servant Zhou tightly held on to Eldest Madam's hand and consoled her, "No one knows this secret. Perhaps things might not be as bad as you think. Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we find Eldest Miss and Young Master."
