"What!?"
Shi Weian's face suddenly darkened, and he asked coldly: "If I didn't ask you to stay by Madam's side, why is Madam gone but you are still there?"
Qi Qi had just returned to Li Mansion, less than an hour before and after, how could she disappear so quickly?
Hearing the doubt in the adult's words, Linglong trembled all over and kowtowed hard. Even if her forehead was bruised and bleeding, she did not dare to stop.
Linglong choked with sobs and explained in a panicked tone: "My wife accidentally touched the tea cup on the table and wet her clothes for a while, so the servant accompanied her back to her room, but who knew..."
"Who would have thought that as soon as I closed the door and turned around, I would no longer see Madam in the room!"
Linglong really didn’t know what was going on.
She was also in the room at that time. If someone really sneaked in and took away the lady, there was no way she would be unaware of it.
Unfortunately, the madam disappeared without a trace under her nose. Even the window in the room had not been opened!
"Sister is missing!"
Hearing this, Li Youbin panicked.
Unexpectedly, his sister just came back with Mr. Shi, and her sister disappeared in the mansion. Will Mr. Shi suspect that the Li family did it deliberately? ?
Just thinking about this made Li Youbin break out in a cold sweat for no reason.
As everyone knows, just as this thought flashed through his mind, Li Youbin saw Mr. Shi staring at him closely, "Qiqi disappeared from your house. Should you give me a proper explanation?"
Li Youbin:! ! !
Staring at Mr. Shi's cold eyes, Li Youbin was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground. He quickly explained: "Sir, sir! That's my sister, my biological sister! How could I possibly do that? Thinking of harming my biological sister!?"
Li Youbin was so frightened that he cried bitterly on the spot: "What's more, my sister and I have been dependent on each other since we were young. My sister treats me so well, how could I do something to her?"
Shi Weian did have some doubts, but the Li family was still relying on Qi Qi, and wanted to rely on him, the governor of Jiangnan, to support the Li family. It should be impossible for him to plot against Qi Qi and dig his own grave.
"In any case, Qi Qi is my woman. Now that Qi Qi has disappeared, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground and turn the entire Li Mansion upside down, I will still see Qi Qi!"
Shi Weian said coldly: "Linglong, go out and bring in the guards from outside the mansion, search the Li mansion, and find Madam as soon as possible!"
Qi Qi disappeared for no reason, but she just didn’t know if the other party was coming for him...
Shi Weian's face turned even darker when he thought of this.
Li Youbin did not dare to refute.
Linglong responded and quickly stood up and trotted towards the main entrance of Li Mansion.
At this time, the front hall where the female family members were entertained was already in a mess.
After learning from the maid Linglong that her granddaughter Qiqi was missing in the room, Mrs. Li almost couldn't breathe. Fortunately, the maid beside her knew a little about the art of Qihuang and quickly took action to stabilize Mrs. Li. Condition.
Then he asked another maid to go to the outer courtyard to call the doctor.
Otherwise, Mrs. Li might faint and die.
All the female relatives were still staying in the front hall, none of them knew what to do.
The eldest daughter of the Li family suddenly disappeared. If Mr. Shi knew about it, given how much Mr. Shi valued the eldest daughter of the Li family, he would probably overthrow the entire Li family!
How could they be so unlucky to come to the Li Mansion for a banquet without incident, but they would encounter such a thing!
I don’t know who the Li family has offended!
The female relatives only dared to whisper in their hearts, but did not dare to say it directly.
They wanted to leave, but couldn't. It was too painful.
"The old lady can't be so frightened anymore."
The doctor frowned, slowly put away the pulse pillow, and sighed softly: "This time I was frightened, the old lady will have to drink the decoction for two more days, and I will ask the maid to follow me to the outside hospital to get medicine later."
Mrs. Li leaned back on the chair, coughed lightly with a pale face, and ordered in a weak tone: "Thank you doctor, Ayan, you can follow the doctor."
"Yes, madam."
Ayan is the maid who knows a little bit about the art of Qihuang. She has been with the old lady for three years, and the old lady has always trusted her.
Ayan followed the doctor and left.
Mrs. Li closed her eyes, then opened them again quickly. She raised her eyes and looked at another maid, Ayun, "Go tell Butler Qi to gather all the guard maids in the house, and all the maids should go to the eldest girl's yard." Search!"
"All the guards have to dig deep inside the house to find the whereabouts of the eldest girl!"
Qi Qi was missing from the room, so Qi Qi must still be in the house at this time!
If so many people are sent to look for it, Qi Qi will be found smoothly!
"Yes, madam."
Ayun turned around and left, going to the kitchen to find the butler.
Mrs. Li was anxious and could no longer sit still. She stood up tremblingly on crutches.
When the maid guarding the front hall saw this, she quickly came over to help Mrs. Li, "Old Madam, please slow down."
Mrs. Li took a deep breath and said, "Ayue, go to Qiqi Courtyard."
Ah Yue nodded.
After Mrs. Li had walked a few steps, she suddenly remembered the women who were still sitting in the front hall. She stopped and turned around again, "Madams, would you like to go with me?"
A group of female relatives: "..."
The women will not refuse.
Anyway, they have nothing to do sitting here, so they might as well go there with Mrs. Li and see if they can find anything.
Mrs. Li brought a group of female relatives over.
On the other side, Shi Weian also led Li Youbin and Mr. Jia to the lush courtyard.
Mr. Jia was originally going to leave, but now something unexpected happened. Mr. Jia is also an official in the Suzhou government office. He is responsible for the disappearance of Li Qiqi.
Therefore, Mr. Shi asked Mr. Jia to stay.
Mr. Jia felt very regretful. He had encountered such a thing again inexplicably, and regretted that he had not left earlier.
Soon, three groups of people came to Li Qiqi's yard almost at the same time.
The third group of people was Butler Qi, who came with all the maids who stayed in the house.
As soon as the maids arrived, they followed Butler Qi's instructions and started rummaging through the yard. No corners where someone might be hiding could be missed!
As soon as she saw Mr. Shi coming over, Mrs. Li burst into tears. She raised her hand and lightly beat her chest, choking and saying, "Sir! You must make the decision for Qi Qi!"
"Qi Qi just returned home today, and someone has already secretly plotted against Qi Qi. Taking Qi Qi away is like tearing out my heart!"
Li Youbin walked quickly to his grandmother's side, stretched out his hand to hold her other side, and said in a serious tone: "Grandma, as long as Master Shi is here, I will definitely find my sister!"
