Chapter 186 Substitution
When Duke Cheng Guo heard that Meng Yue and the girl were missing and their tent was torn, he jumped up in fright and ran towards their tent.
Duke Cheng Guo's eyes turned red when he saw the scratched door and the empty bed.
"Damn it, what's going on!"
He ran out and said to Meng Ciyu and the sergeant in charge of security here who were running over, "Look quickly, in the tent, in the woods... don't make too much noise."
The sound outside attracted many people to come out and check the tent where the female family members lived. Several tent doors were scratched, but it was not obvious. You had to look carefully to see clearly that the female family members were inside.
Suddenly, another scream came from the north. Another tent door was scratched there, and the master who lived inside was also missing. The girl was still sleeping soundly.
A group of people flocked there again.
"Oh, it's Miss Zhao Wu from the Zhennan Hou Mansion. The girl was so frightened that she cried when she was woken up. She didn't know what to say..."
Hearing that the fifth girl of Zhennanhou was missing, Mrs. Fu, who pretended to be anxious, was really anxious.
How could this happen? It shouldn't be.
She swayed and was supported by Yunxiu.
They tried to hide it before and look for someone quietly, but they could no longer hide it, so they all started shouting loudly. Everyone took lanterns and checked the tent door and inside the tent. The men gathered their women together to check if anyone was missing.
Meng Ciyu comforted Mrs. Fu and said, "Mom, don't worry, the eldest sister is not the only one who is missing. Maybe they met somewhere to play."
After saying that, I didn’t even believe it. Meng Yue and Miss Zhao Wu were not familiar with each other. Even if they really went out to play, it was impossible to break the door.
They looked everywhere, and Fu Shi vaguely saw a familiar figure. Even if he couldn't see clearly, he could feel that the man had gained weight, his back was not as straight as before, there were many wrinkles on his face, and even his hair and beard were thin.
Turned gray... He's aging so fast.
The tent where Duke Cheng's Mansion lived was separated from the Zhennan Marquis Mansion by some distance, and the two of them deliberately avoided it. This was the first time they had met after living here for several days.
Zhao Hu, the Marquis of Zhennan, also saw Fu, and there seemed to be resentment and anger in his eyes that disappeared in an instant.
They both acted as if they hadn't seen anything, one facing east and the other facing west, each looking for someone.
Mrs. Fu was angry and scared. She did everything they told her, without revealing any information or showing anything inappropriate to be suspected, but she seemed to be blamed...
Excited voices came from over there, "The eldest aunt of the Meng family is here, she is not missing..."
Someone else shouted loudly, "Aunt Meng has been found, but Miss Zhao Wu has not been found yet."
Fu's head buzzed and her body swayed again.
How could this happen? It shouldn't be.
Meng Ciyu thought his mother was excited, and happily helped her walk in that direction.
Meng Laogonggong's loud voice came, "Don't talk nonsense, my girl is not missing, she has been with me. I had a headache and asked her to go over there with me to have some fresh air. What's going on here? A girl is missing.
Already?"
Meng Laogong, Meng Cimo, and Meng Yue, who was supported by Vernal Equinox, walked towards this side.
Meng Yue's face was pale, her eyes were incomprehensible, and she was biting her lip tightly. She still didn't believe how the eldest lady who treated her like a daughter could harm her... But she just heard that Miss Zhao Wu had exchanged the number plate on her tent.
She was really missing, but she was still frightened.
The younger brother said, if you don’t understand, think about it slowly, and you must do what he said tonight.
As soon as she saw Meng Yue, Mrs. Fu ran forward, held her hand and cried, "Good boy, luckily you're okay, my mother was scared to death. Why didn't you tell your mother when you went out..."
Meng Yue looked at her blankly. She was crying so sadly, as if she was really anxious...
Meng Yue thought of her brother's instructions and just lowered her head and let Fu hold her in his arms without saying a word.
Meng Yue was found, and several people in the Zhennan Hou Mansion became even more anxious.
At this time, a frightened scream came from the palace.
"Ah, where is this..."
The palace is not big, so people outside can hear the scream clearly.
Mrs. Zhao Er was shocked, "Oh my God, it sounds like Yuan Luo, how could she be there..."
Yuan Luo sprained her foot while hunting the day before yesterday. She has been resting in the tent for the past two days and has not gone anywhere. She can't possibly walk to the palace by herself, right?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao Er became even more frightened. She wanted to ask questions, but Master Zhao Er stopped her.
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? How could that voice be Yuan Luo?"
The faces of the Marquis of Zhennan, the Second Master Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, and the Crown Prince Zhao Yuanhui who knew the inside story were even uglier. They were a little lucky before, but now they are really scared. I don’t know how the Meng family knew about their plan and sent people to the house in advance.
Changed……
I hope that Concubine Zhao can help with the aftermath so that the emperor will not suspect the Zhao family, but Zhao Yuanluo is really compromised.
The Marquis of Zhennan winked, and Mr. Zhao Er pulled the unaware Mrs. Zhao Er towards his tent. Mrs. Zhao Er guessed that something had happened to her daughter and did not dare to speak anymore, so she had to go back and ask her husband.
At this time, a chamberlain came to the palace, bowed and said to the Marquis of Zhennan, "Master Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, the emperor has sent you to the palace to see me."
Old Duke Meng laughed and said, "Zhao Hu, if the voice just now really belongs to your girl, congratulations on your family's marriage to the royal family again."
The Marquis of Zhennan said with a serious face, "Mr. Meng, be careful, you are not the one who can make the final decision on the royal affairs."
He and Mrs. Zhao followed the eunuch towards the palace.
There was understanding and disdain in everyone's eyes. Perhaps as Meng Laoguo said, the Zhao family daughter once again used unfair means to get ahold of someone in the royal family. They stopped looking and went back.
Duke Cheng Guo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that his daughter had come back intact. He also noticed something was wrong. His daughter's door was scratched, she disappeared and then suddenly appeared. A woman's voice suddenly came from the palace. It was said that she sounded like Miss Zhao Wu.
The emperor suddenly heard that Zhennan Hou and Mrs. Zhao had entered the palace...
He asked quietly, "Dad, what's going on?"
The old man glanced at Mrs. Fu and said in a deep voice, "You have heard what happened outside. Let's talk about the family matters back home."
Several scratched tents were replaced with new tents. Meng Yue was unwilling to go in and said to Meng Cimo, "I'm afraid."
This was the first time in her life that she did not ask for help from Fu, but from her younger brother, when both Fu and Meng Cimo were present at the same time.
Meng Cimo's stern face smiled, and he said, "Don't be afraid. My brother promises that no one can hurt you."
I still feel bitter in my heart. If Xixi hadn't delivered the news in time, my sister would still have been hurt.
Although he had made arrangements in advance to prevent Meng Yue from being kidnapped, he couldn't hide the fact that Meng Yue was attracted by the prince, and her reputation would definitely be damaged.
Moreover, he would secretly change the number plates of Meng Yue and Zhao Yuanluo's tents without planning in advance, and then change the number plates back after Zhao Yuanluo was kidnapped. The Zhao family did not see any clues in advance, and made things worse step by step...
