Ning Wan roughly calculated that it had been almost a month since Yun Liu Ya was kidnapped. After thinking about it, she felt that the only person who could do such a thing was Yun Hao Tian.

"Wan'er, I have already sent a letter to your father. According to the date, he should have seen it already. Maybe he was heading back. Rest assured, this child of the Ya Er has been wise since childhood, there will definitely be a god protecting him. "

"Mother, your daughter has troubled you." Ning Wan's dry lips slightly moved, letting out a depressed sigh.

She hated Yun Hao Tian, but hated herself more than ever before for being useless.

Ning Wan's bony fingers tightly gripped onto the Hibiscus Mutabilis's thin quilt, and her long nails sank into the cotton ball. Deep hatred gushed out from those originally cold eyes, and even her lips were trembling. After a while, as if she had collapsed, she buried her head in her hands and started sobbing painfully.

"Daughter is useless. Daughter cannot protect Ya Er. But our daughter really doesn't know how to plead with that person. " It would be better to kill her than for her to give in to Yun Hao Tian right now.

But she clearly knew that this was the power Yun Hao Tian had given her. He was declaring war against her, and at the cost of sacrificing Yun Liu Ya, he was taking revenge on her for the shame he had suffered.

"I'm sorry, my Ya Er. Mother is useless, I'm sorry!" Ning Wan could no longer hold back his wails. She tightened her body and was hugged tenderly in the arms of the Old Lady Ning.

The grievances that Ning Wan had suffered in the Residence of Yun all these years were seen by the Old Lady Ning, how could she not be worried? Every time she saw her daughter slim down when she returned to Ning Residence, she couldn't help but get angry. But Yun Hao Tian was too good at acting, always putting on a humble, respectful, and considerate appearance, like a good son-in-law in front of her and State of Ningxia, which made it impossible for her to make any mistakes. Furthermore, Ning Wan had always kept his mouth shut about her being in Residence of Yun, and would even defend her when she asked her about her and Yun Hao Tian's insolence.

If she had known earlier that Yun Hao Tian was a beast with a human's heart, she would not have married her precious daughter to him. Thinking of this, Old Lady Ning sighed, then patted Ning Wan's back helplessly. She astonishedly discovered that Ning Wan was actually already this thin. Separated by a relatively thin outer garment, she could even touch that craggy and terrifying skeleton.

Hot tears started to fall from Old Lady Ning's eyes, but it was after all after a lot of trials and hardships. She quickly calmed down, and his pair of sharp eyes shined brightly, as if he had made a decision.

A few days later, the anxious Ning Wan and the Old Lady Ning finally received the news that the State of Ningxia had set out on their journey back home. However, even the State of Ningxia had to follow the rules of etiquette, and had to see the Kaiser in person before returning to the Ning Guo Palace.

"Master is back." The servant girl was carefully passing the message outside Ning Wan's door. A moment later, a frail body ran out from inside and hobbled towards the door.

Old Lady Ning's worried voice could still be heard from inside the room, "Wan'er, leave with your clothes on!"

After the State of Ningxia received the news, he immediately took care of the matter at hand and rushed back quickly on his horse. When they entered the residence this time, before they even reached the main hall, they saw Ning Wan running over to welcome him as she was dressed in very thin clothes.

"Father!" Ning Wan heavily kneeled on the green gray brick ground, her voice filled with tears, "I beg father to save Ya Er, I beg father!"

"Why are you wearing so little? Ya Er still hasn't returned, if you fall ill again, what can your father and father do!" State of Ningxia frowned, he bent down and quickly helped Ning Wan up.

"Father, your daughter is really at a dead end. If something were to happen to Ya Er this time, I really don't know how I should live on anymore. " Her heart had long since become a barren wasteland, but she couldn't even protect her only daughter.

State of Ningxia's face was ashen. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Old Lady Ning rushing over, so he said in a deep voice, "Hurry and bring this child back. Leave the matters of the Ya Er to me. "

It was a skill that the State of Ningxia had learnt while he was still in high school for dozens of years. Regardless of what terrible things had happened to the imperial court in the past, or the unease of the people, he had always been calm, but time and time again, he had resolved the crisis. This time, the same thing happened to his granddaughter, Yun Liu Ya.

However, from how he had ridden several horses all the way back to the capital from a thousand li away, it could be seen that his anxiety was not any less than that of anyone else's.

The Old Lady Ning nodded, then supported Ning Wan's stooped body to walk back. She draped the cloak over Ning Wan's body and looked behind his.

State of Ningxia still stood at his original position. Seeing the look in Old Lady Ning's eyes, he nodded at her.

Just a single movement was enough to comfort Old Lady Ning. This was her husband, and he had already protected her at his side for most of her life. She believed that he would be able to think of a way to save Ya Er, just like how he had saved many people from danger.

The door to the study on the west side of The Mansion of the Duke of Ning was always closed. From dusk until the first light of the day, the servants in the residence saw State of Ningxia sitting in front of his desk. His back was extremely straight and his brows were furrowed even more tightly.

The candle flame was very bright, and when the wind blew, even the light was dancing uneasily.

State of Ningxia's figure could be seen dappling around the door. Since he had returned to the residence, he had not rested for even a moment. It had been nearly four hours since he had last spoken a single word in the study.

The entire The Mansion of the Duke of Ning was silent. The usually peaceful house was even eerily eerie. Just as the servant was about to close the doors to the The Mansion of the Duke of Ning, he met with someone, and this matter had unexpectedly turned around.

"Master, Third Prince is here to visit you."

State of Ningxia was surprised when a servant outside the study room reported all of a sudden.

Jun Lin Sheng? An extremely shocking face appeared in State of Ningxia's mind. Why would he suddenly visit?

Actually, State of Ningxia had noticed Jun Lin Sheng a long time ago. He had been in the imperial court for dozens of years, so he was very clear about the Kaiser and the various princes.

Jun Lin Sheng was the third oldest, but because his mother died young, he could not be reused later. Even though he had been following the proceedings of the Imperial Court ever since he was crowned, he had always followed the rules. Compared to the other princes, he did not stand out much.

It was just that State of Ningxia would often notice the prince's arrogant appearance and his calm and reserved way of handling matters when he was in the upper echelons of the. He understood that Jun Lin Sheng must be well versed in the ways of father and son, because the mother race was not strong enough, he had to hide his true abilities, and hide himself amongst his brothers, accumulating everything.
