Shen Zhonglei was working in the government office today when Xu Yihao suddenly asked to see him anxiously.
He said that when he came back from outside, he met a sneaky man who dropped a paper bag and ran away. He picked up the paper bag and opened it, and saw inside it was a handkerchief embroidered with the names of Yun Yao and Yun Hui. There is also a note asking for one thousand taels of silver.
Shen Zhonglei was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. His two daughters were kidnapped. This was a big deal.
He finally came back to his senses, and while telling Xu Yihao not to tell the Xu family about it yet, he hurriedly summoned his staff and the chief to discuss the matter.
The head catcher had just suggested that he send someone to Mingshui Garden to inquire. Maybe someone just stole the handkerchief and came to extort money. The people sent by Huang to inquire about the information arrived.
Shen Zhonglei called someone to reply and lied that the two girls had gone home, but his heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave.
It seems something really happened!
While Shen Zhonglei sent people to the city to inquire, he repeatedly told him to act quietly.
Two teenage girls were abducted by thieves. If word spread about this, even if they were recovered intact, there would be all kinds of dirty rumors outside.
Shen Zhonglei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at home. It took him a while to remember to ask where Shen Tianshu was. Was he kidnapped together or was he okay?
Just as time passed little by little and he was anxious, Shen Zhonglei suddenly received good news from Fan Yuru.
He did not dare to delay for a moment, nor did he dare to make any noise. He quietly led people to follow Fan Yuru's guards to Xiao Liuzi's house in the northwest corner.
As soon as Shen Zhonglei entered the room, he first saw Shen Tianshu looking tired and sitting on a stool against the wall.
He turned his eyes and immediately saw Shen Yunyao sitting by the wall, with most of his face covered in dried blood.
She raised her head and glanced at Shen Zhonglei, then immediately lowered her head.
Shen Yunhui huddled in the corner with the other two maids. The three of them also had blood on their faces. They didn't dare to speak when they saw him, but they all looked at him with eyes hoping for help.
"What happened? Who's injured?" Shen Zhonglei rushed over to see Shen Yunyao first. Seeing that she was not injured, he turned to look at Shen Yunhui and asked, "Tian Shu, what's going on? You're too That's too much, why do you just sit and rest by yourself and don't know how to untie your two sisters?"
Shen Tianshu did not defend himself at all. Instead, he stood up and said: "The two sisters were frightened just now and were too excited. I'm afraid that after the restraints are released, they will rush out regardless and be seen by people outside. This matter can no longer be concealed.
"Although what I did may not be appropriate, I hope father will forgive me. My maid was sent to the hospital to save Yunyao from being stabbed, leaving me alone unable to control the four of them. This kind of thing is not good. Mr. Fan, please take action..."
Only then did Shen Zhonglei realize that Fan Yuru was there, and he hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Mr. Fan's help today, the three little girls are safe."
Fan Yuru hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "For what happened today, Fan just sent out a few guards to help. From the beginning to the end, Miss Shen was the one who provided the advice. If she hadn't been careful and resourceful, there would have been a big mess.
"Since Mr. Shen is here, Fan will leave first and will visit you again in a few days when Mr. Shen is free."
Shen Zhonglei heard something in Fan Yuru's words, but he didn't think much about it at this time. After the people left, he asked Shen Tianshu: "Shu'er, what on earth is going on?"
Shen Tianshu sighed deeply, pointed to the inner room and said, "The two thieves inside have confessed. Why don't father listen first?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "boom" sound, and Shen Yunyao fainted on the ground with a pale face.
Shen Zhonglei, who had already walked towards the back room, paused, turned around, walked to Shen Yunyao, picked her up, covered her from head to toe with his cloak, and ordered: "Come, go out and clear the place, take the two prisoners back." Put him in jail, and his trial will be postponed."
Seeing Shen Zhonglei hugging Shen Yunyao and leaving without looking back, Shen Tianshu's eyes were cold.
Although I don't know whether Shen Yunyao fainted is true or false, this immediately adds another variable to the matter.
When Shen Tianshu finally dragged his exhausted body back to Shen's Mansion, it was already dark, and even Mingyu and Minghui had already returned from the hospital.
Aunt Yang has been reciting Buddhist scriptures in her room for most of the day, just wishing to keep Shen Tianshu safe.
Although he already knew that she was fine, when he saw her coming back, he immediately rushed to her, pulled her back and forth, checked her up and down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Amitabha, it's fine that the girl is fine, but this scared the old slave." Nanny Yang patted her heart.
"Is there anything to eat in the house? I'm about to starve to death." Shen Tianshu returned to the house and fell on the couch regardless of his appearance.
She only had some breakfast before going out today. In order to dress nicely, Nanny Yang only served her half a bowl of shredded chicken porridge. After a hard day, she was already so hungry that her heart was pressed against her back.
I didn't realize that I was in a hurry to find someone before, but after I found it, I became more and more hungry and panicked, and my eyesight went black.
"Yes, yes! You can eat it right away." Aunt Yang had already asked someone to warm the porridge on the stove in the small kitchen, and quickly asked someone to bring it to her.
Not long after, a bowl of yellow pumpkin porridge was served along with several plates of side dishes.
The pumpkin has already been boiled in the porridge. It tastes sweet and has the aroma of pumpkin. It is warm and delicious. It warms the whole body and makes the stomach very comfortable.
"Mommy still feels sorry for me, knowing that I must be starving." Shen Tianshu finished a bowl of porridge, and then he felt alive and had time to speak, "Have another bowl."
As soon as Nanny Yang served the porridge, the door of the room was slammed open.
Mrs. Xu rushed into the room with a sick look on her face, a piece of cloth tied on her head and disheveled hair. She picked up the porridge bowl on the table and threw it at Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu couldn't dodge, and she poured pumpkin porridge all over his head and face.
Aunt Yang hurriedly stood in front of Shen Tianshu and said, "What are you doing, madam? Fortunately, the pumpkin porridge is only warm, otherwise it would burn the girl's face!"
"It's better if it's burned!" Mrs. Xu pointed at Shen Tianshu as if she was crazy and yelled, "Shen Tianshu, Shen Tianshu, why didn't I see that you were so vicious before? I asked you to take Yun Yao to the banquet, and you are Are you taking her with you like this? Is this how you take care of your sister?"
Shen Tianshu wiped the pumpkin porridge on his face, raised his head and glared at Xu stubbornly: "You have the time to scold me, why don't you ask your good daughter what happened today?"
"Bah! Yun Yao hasn't woken up yet!" Mrs. Xu rushed to arrest Shen Tianshu, but was held tightly by Nanny Yang. She could only continue to curse, "You little whore with a white face and a black heart, you are being raped." Why wasn't it you who was kidnapped? Why wasn't you the one who was stabbed? Why didn't you just die outside——"
