Mu Mei was the only one who believed what she said.
Chen An curled his lips and was about to say something, but Zhao Ting had already let go of Mu Mei and turned around to leave: "That's it, it's okay."
It didn't look like anything was going on. Mu Mei grabbed Chen An who was about to follow, and whispered urgently: "Eunuch Chen, what's going on? What happened to Yuyao?"
Chen An carefully took a look outside and whispered: "Don't mention it! This frivolous woman! She has only been with the master for more than a month, and she actually ran away with him!"
Ran?
What ran away?
When Mu Mei was about to ask her questions carefully, Chen An had already broken away from her and chased her out in large strides.
Mu Mei took a moment, and murmured after being stunned for a long time: "This is strange, Yu Yao has always secretly liked the master. If he really became the master, how could he run away before he could be happy?"
In fact, Zhao Ting couldn't understand this. He thought that he treated Tang Yuyao well enough before and after she became his aunt. And there was no one outside, so why on earth did she run? Zhao Ting couldn't help but think that when he went out this morning, Tang Yuyao kept sending him to the gate, telling him that she was reluctant to part with him, and that she wanted him to be good in the future... She had indeed decided to leave a long time ago, but in her heart...
Does it belong to him?
Zhao Ting suddenly wasn't sure.
He knew that the imperial edict of marriage had just been issued, and there were many eyes staring at him in the capital. If he went to look for her in a big way, he was afraid that Emperor Xuan would find Tang Yuyao before him, and even kill her directly. So after coming out of Mumei, we headed all the way to Prince An's Mansion. But on the way, he asked Qin Yuan to tell him again about Tang Yuyao's disappearance in Zhenbao Pavilion today.
Qin Yuan recalled while saying: "The shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion gave a lot of jewelry to the box. Later, my daughter-in-law went back to look at it and said that she had lost some bulky gold jewelry. The room was a little messy, and she wore big clothes when she went out. The clothes were also thrown on the ground, and even...the big clothes were stepped on, probably because she was worried about being discovered. However, she didn't take her luggage with her when she went out, and she specially left Lan Xiang in the house. Nothing else seemed to matter. It’s weird.”
Tang Yuyao is now free to go out, and Zhenbao Pavilion has to be visited almost every time she goes out. She has planned it long ago, so Qin Yuan and Qian cannot be blamed for this matter.
Zhao Ting closed his eyes and said after a while: "How many people have been sent to guard each city gate?"
Qin Yuan said hurriedly: "On the surface, there are two guards in the house, but secretly, the younger one called two shadows everywhere. It's just that he can't stop people from searching one by one, and the shadows don't know what Master Tang looks like. , I was wondering if I should draw some portraits and send them away."
Zhao Tingdao: "I will paint after I return home."

Prince An's Mansion is still Prince An's Mansion of the past, but it's a little quieter today.
And Taoyuan is still the same Taoyuan, but now it lacks its owner.
Yuqiu wanted to get closer to Zhao Ting again, but she didn't dare to do so today. So when she heard the movement outside, she immediately left Lan Xiang, whose eyes were red with tears, and nimbly ran away and hid. Lan Xiang looked up and saw Zhao Ting and his people striding towards him, but she felt aggrieved and scared, so she knelt down with a pop when she was still far away.
Zhao Ting didn't pay much attention to her. He didn't even look at her when he passed her.
It was Chen An who kicked her and cursed in a low voice: "What are you doing? Why don't you go back to the house and clean yourself up? The master will have to wait for you here later!"
Lan Xiang was a little surprised. She had lost sight of Sister Yuyao. Wouldn't the master kill her?
Just don’t kill! She doesn't want to die! Wiping away her tears, Lan Xiang got up and ran with a grateful face.
The lamps were already lit in the main room. Zhao Ting did not go into the inner room. He sat down on a chair in the outer room. He glanced at the empty room and quickly ordered Chen An: "Prepare pens and ink!" He didn't intend to go to the study. , I plan to paint Tang Yuyao’s portrait here.
Chen An responded and took out all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones and put them away. He felt quite uncomfortable when he saw Zhao Ting drawing as soon as he picked up his pen.
That dead girl Tang Yuyao just ran away. The master didn't get angry or look too sad. But he just acted like nothing happened, but Chen An felt even more distressed from the bottom of his heart. What the hell is this? If other women could be concubines for their masters, they would be happy to burn incense three times a day! But Tang Yuyao, if this girl hadn't been kindly saved by her master back then, it's not certain whether she would have survived to this day!
It turned out to be a good thing. I was ungrateful, but I treated my master like this!
Although Chen An was a rootless person, he was still half a man. He felt that if his woman ran away like this, he would have to find her and strangle her to death!
I just don’t know if the master would do this...
Zhao Ting was focused on nothing, and quickly painted a portrait of Tang Yuyao. The woman in the painting was slim and graceful, smiling beautifully, just like a real person. He pinched the edge of the drawing paper so hard that his fingers lost all color. After a long time, without saying a word, he put the painting aside and continued to draw the second one.
Chen An couldn't help but said: "Master, can I take this and have someone copy it?"
Zhao Ting said quietly: "No need."
Chen An paused for a moment and finally asked: "Master, what will you do after you get that girl... what will you do after you get Master Tang back?"
Zhao Ting originally painted smoothly, but after hearing these words, his hand suddenly trembled, and a stroke was drawn horizontally on Tang Yuyao's face in the painting. The face was stained and the painting could no longer be used. Zhao Ting put down the pen, picked up the damaged drawing paper and kneaded it into a ball little by little. At the same time, he slowly said: "Strike her tendons, peel off her skin, and break her bones." bone."
Although he didn't believe that Zhao Ting was willing to do this to Tang Yuyao, Chen An was still so frightened that he trembled.

At this time, Tang Yuyao was sitting on the bed with her sister Xiaoyunduo, in a confrontation.
Unable to take Xiao Yunduo away, she listened to Lu Zhongkai's suggestion for the time being and stayed at the Lu family. She is a young girl. Regardless of whether she has left the cabinet or not, it is understandable that she does not want to eat at the same table with Lu Zhongkai, and Lu Zhongkai also has no reason to come to this room. Therefore, Ms. Jiang asked her nanny to bring the dinner in, and she followed in. However, Tang Yuyao had a cold face and refused to talk to her, and Xiao Yunduo was held by Tang Yuyao again. Ms. Jiang was annoyed by two people in a row, only to I can look back to Lu Zhongkai for comfort.
After dinner and a simple wash, Tang Yuyao closed all the doors and windows, and then pulled Xiao Yunduo to sit face to face.
"Tell your sister, why did Lu Zhongkai and Mrs. Jiang treat you badly?" she asked softly.
Xiao Yunduo looked at her, but asked instead: "Are you really my sister?"
Tang Yuyao knew that Xiao Yunduo was very smart, not as smart as a child of her age: "What do you think?"
Xiao Yunduo said nothing and stared at Tang Yuyao for a moment before asking again: "Then will you really take me away?"
Tang Yuyao did not hesitate: "Yes, father is no longer here, and Mr. Jiang has married another man. I am your biological sister and I am responsible for you. But... you have seen the situation now. Mrs. Jiang does not want you to leave, and Lu Zhongkai also wants to She, and I can't force you to go. So you have to tell me what they did wrong to you, so that I can negotiate with them. Or, was Lu Zhongkai cruel to you in private? Beat you? "
Xiao Yunduo thought for a while, then lowered his head in silence and refused to say anything.
Tang Yuyao waited for a while but didn't get an answer. When she was about to ask again, she saw that Xiao Yunduo's eyes were red and she was already crying.
The little girl's face was white and tender. When she shed tears, her cheeks turned red, but she didn't say a word and her tears just flowed silently. Seeing her look like this, Tang Yuyao was so distressed that she didn't want to ask anymore. She just held the little girl in her arms and patted her back to coax her up.
Xiao Yunduo lay on Tang Yuyao's shoulder with a proud smile on his face, but soon, the smile slowly turned bitter again.
She hugged Tang Yuyao back and whispered: "Sister, why did you come now?"
Why didn't you come earlier?
When Tang Yuyao heard this, she thought that Xiao Yunduo had been wronged a lot, and said distressedly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yunduo, it's my sister's fault. My sister should have come to you earlier." Suddenly she thought of her previous life, which she didn't know until her death. I don’t know if Jiang was in the capital, but she didn’t find her in her previous life. How did Xiao Yunduo live her subsequent life? Now at a young age, she said that Lu Zhongkai and Jiang were not treating her well, but then...
Tang Yuyao hugged her sister tightly and said, "Xiao Yunduo, my sister will definitely protect you in this life and help you grow up healthy and marry into a good family!"
Xiao Yunduo was stunned, and suddenly burst into tears.
