The next day.
The crisp sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the morning.
A shrill roar of a horse stopped in front of the Bai Mansion, awakening everyone in the manor.
When everyone hurriedly packed their clothes and ran to the door of the mansion, they saw the horseman who was walking in a hurry and had obviously been waiting for a long time.
This person was the groom from Baifu who had sent Lai Feiyan back to Jingzhou earlier.
As soon as the man saw Bai Yanqing, he immediately trotted to Bai Yanqing, then with a "pop", he knelt down heavily.
"What is this for?"
Bai Yanqing frowned, looking at the kneeling coachman in front of him, with a vague premonition in his heart.
Could it be that He Lishu was not sent to Lai's house?
"But what happened on the way? Didn't Heli Shu arrive at Lai's house?"
That and Li Shu are only copies stamped by the government. If they are lost, it will be troublesome.
"Miss Hui, the letter of departure has been sent to the Lai family in Jingzhou. This is the reply letter from the Lai family."
The groom was stunned for a moment, then took out a letter from his arms.
Bai Yanqing took the letter and did not open it to read. Instead, she told Cai Xing to put it away and send the letter to Bai Furong in the next courtyard later.
In the end, it is Bai Furong's own family affairs. Whether it is good or bad is her own business, and no one else can look down upon it.
"Miss Hui...there was nothing wrong with Li Shu. The one who did was...the second lady of the Lai family..."
The groom hesitated again and again, and finally spoke hesitantly.
"Oh? What happened to her?"
Bai Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently.
When Lai Feiyan returned to the Lai family, she was a member of the Lai family and had nothing to do with them or the Bai Mansion. No matter what went wrong with Lai Feiyan, Bai Yanqing didn't bother to take care of it.
"Since the second young lady of the Lai family has returned to the Lai family, it has nothing to do with our Baifu. There is no need to talk to Miss Yu about these trivial matters, as they will offend her ears."
Caixing said angrily. She had always been unkind to Lai Feiyan. Yu Caixing didn't care at all whether Lai Feiyan was dead or alive.
"That's the problem... The second lady of the Lai family didn't even return to the Lai family, and something happened!"
When the groom saw that Bai Yanqing and the girl beside her didn't seem to care about Lai Feiyan at all, he became anxious immediately! Then he blurted out.
As soon as these words came out, not only Cai Xing was stunned, but Bai Yanqing was also stunned. What does "something happened before returning to Lai's house" mean?
Seeing that Bai Yanqing finally had some reaction, the groom hurriedly spoke and recounted what happened along the way.
It's only a few days' journey from the capital to Jingzhou, whether it's far or close. If you hurry up, it'll only take five or six days.
That day, after setting off from the Bai Mansion, the carriage driver also wanted to get to Jingzhou as soon as possible and deliver the He Li Shu entrusted by the Bai family to the Lai family as soon as possible. So, the carriage driver changed his mind and took a shortcut through a more remote path.
Who knows, something went wrong halfway!
On the fifth day, when they were about to arrive in Jingzhou, when their carriage reached a forest, a group of masked men in black suddenly appeared!
That group of masked men was also very strange. They did not steal money, property, or hurt anyone, but they only attacked Lai Feiyan on the carriage!
Although the carriage driver put up a few punches and kicks, he was outnumbered and ultimately defeated. He had no choice but to watch helplessly as those masked men in black robbed Lai Feiyan away!
Although those masked men had fought with the carriage driver, they obviously did not want to hurt him. Therefore, after they kidnapped Lai Feiyan, they did not even embarrass the carriage driver. Instead, they gave him a fast horse and asked him to rush to Jingzhou and deliver He Lishu to Lai's house!
"You said...they asked you to send He Lishu to Lai's house as soon as possible?"
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing frowned even more tightly.
Only a few people in the Bai Mansion who handled the matter knew about Bai Furong and the Lai family's reconciliation, but no one else was informed. Bai Jingxuan even went to the government to request the letter and seal it, all done by Bai Jingxuan himself!
After all, who could be so aware of the movements of the Bai Mansion?
What's even more strange is that those people didn't seem to intend to attack the Bai Mansion, but instead helped! If they really wanted to harm the White House, they would definitely not let the carriage driver go so easily!
Besides, if they really wanted to harm the Bai Mansion, why did they kidnap Lai Feiyan instead of the people of the Bai Mansion? For example, Bai Yanqing? The dignified daughter of the Bai family, isn't this more valuable to them?
Lai Feiyan is nothing more than an abandoned son now. Who can they threaten if they kidnap Lai Feiyan? Bai family? Impossible, Lai Feiyan has broken off the mother-daughter relationship with Bai Furong! Lai family? That's even more impossible. The Lai family is now in ruins and has no use value!
After all, what do these people want?
Looking for money? image name? Profitable? It seems like neither!
Bai Yanqing thought about it for a long time, but she never thought of it!
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, anyway, it was Lai Feiyan who was kidnapped, and it has nothing to do with the Bai family. Just when Bai Yanqing was thinking this, the carriage driver spoke again!
"Little... miss, then... the Lai family said that the second girl of the Lai family disappeared on the road. It was because the Bai family did not take good care of her. If the Bai family cannot hand over the second girl of the Lai family, they... they will... Come to the capital and make trouble with the Bai family!"
It's really hard to say anything surprising.
"Can't you say it all at once?"
How come this man was still nagging at what he said? When Cai Xing saw him like this, he was so angry that he wanted to jump up and beat him!
Bai Yanqing wished she could roll her eyes to the sky, this Lai family is really shameless!
Originally, the Bai family was kind-hearted, so they agreed to escort Lai Feiyan back to Jingzhou. Otherwise, letting her go back alone would have saved her a lot of trouble!
Now that we are in this mess, how should we end it?
Bai Yanqing looked at the sky speechlessly, what should I do?
After much thought, Bai Yanqing decided to take the Lai family's reply and go to Bai Furong in person!
Others don't know who the Lai family is, so how can Bai Furong not know? They are always ruffians and scoundrels. If they are really allowed to come to the capital, not only Bai Furong will not be able to live in peace, but even the Bai Mansion will become a laughing stock in the capital! Besides, Bai Yanqing is about to enter the palace, so she must not make any mistakes at this juncture!
"Aunt, what does the letter say?"
Bai Yanqing has always been a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows etiquette. She did not open the Lai family's reply in private. Even when Bai Furong showed the letter, she waited at a distance without any overstep. It wasn't until Bai Furong finished reading that she asked her.
"He didn't say anything, he just clamored that he wanted to come to the capital to settle the score with the Bai family! He said that the Bai family had ruined his wife and caused him to lose his beloved daughter."
Bai Furong sighed, and then folded the letter. She had long expected that the Lai family would not give up, and she had also long expected that Lai Guofu was the villain who would definitely take revenge.
After all, the separation between Bai Furong and Lai Guofu was indeed proposed by the Baifu. The Lai family felt that they had lost face, so they would naturally vent their anger on the Baifu.
Bai Yanqing didn't expect these things.
However, what Bai Yanqing didn't expect was that Lai Feiyan would be robbed! It is precisely because of this reason that the Lai family will be in trouble for a while!
After all, now that Lai Feiyan has been robbed, it is true that she was also lost in the hands of the Bai family. If the Lai family really wants to act rogue, the Bai family will naturally be involved!
Why……
It's only strange that Bai Furong was blind and fell in love with the Lai family's shabby settlement!
Later, when Bai Jingxuan returned home, Bai Yanqing informed him of the matter. After hearing this, Bai Jingxuan didn't have much worry on his face. After all, he was an old fox who had been in the officialdom for many years, and he really looked down on the Lai family's playful ways!
However, although the Lai family's villainy is not worth mentioning, after all, Lai Feiyan was kidnapped. Apart from anything else, you must be looking for someone!
The next day, Bai Jingxuan used his contacts to find Lai Feiyan's whereabouts.
But the strange thing is that even though they searched for many days, they couldn't find even the slightest bit about Lai Feiyan's whereabouts!
"What should we do? Feiyan has been missing for more than a month, and now... now I'm afraid it's all bad!"
Bai Furong also couldn't sleep all day and night. Ever since she learned about Lai Feiyan's disappearance, she couldn't eat well or sleep well, and shed tears every day. She often runs to Bai Yanqing's courtyard to cry to her. It's funny to think that Bai Furong now regards Bai Yanqing as her only support, the only one who can make decisions for her and make suggestions!
Lai Bizhi was also extremely anxious after learning that Lai Feiyan had been kidnapped by the gangsters. After all, she is the biological sister who grew up together. The relationship has been quite good over the years. Now that she has unexpectedly disappeared, she is also anxious. However, she is now helping Bai Furong take care of her property. She is so busy running around that she is really distracted. I had no choice but to ask the Bai family for help in finding the person!
When Mrs. Ren heard the news at first, she was shocked and actually felt sad for a while. Thinking about it later, Lai Feiyan now belongs to the Lai family and has voluntarily severed ties with them. There is no need to worry about such an outsider. Therefore, the Ren family should be the most calm one at present.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Ren has always been selfish. My granddaughter, who had held it in her hands since she was a child for fear of dropping it, and held it in her mouth for fear of melting, now saw that it had no useable value and abandoned it like a pair of worn-out shoes.
The human heart can be so cold and heartless!
"Don't worry, aunt. Father has already sent people to look for her. There will always be good news."
Bai Yanqing endured the utmost patience and persuaded Bai Furong with kind words.
Bai Yanqing actually had a headache. In the past few days, she had been pestered by Bai Furong and cried all day long. She was really annoyed. Bai Furong's words of comfort over and over again turned a deaf ear, and she only focused on crying, completely unable to listen to Bai Yanqing's persuasion.
"Feiyan hasn't suffered much since she was a child. She doesn't know whether she is dead or alive these days...I don't know if she has clothes to cover her body, whether she has food to satisfy her hunger...whether..."
Obviously, Bai Furong didn't listen to Bai Yanqing's words. She was still talking to herself and wiping tears. Her red and swollen eyes were really pitiful.
Bai Yanqing stroked her forehead and glanced at Cai Xing, who also had a bitter and resentful look on her face. It was obvious that Cai Xing had had enough of Bai Furong complaining like she was chanting sutras every day.
Looking at Aunt Zhao and the others again, they had already hid far away. Come to think of it, the girls and women in Nianchu's small house have been exposed to the poison of white hibiscus these days!
Bai Yanqing decided immediately that she could not let Bai Furong do this again!
