Chapter Eighty-Five: Sleepless Nights
In the dead of night, the whole capital was shrouded in the night, only the Yasukuni Mansion in the west of the city was brightly lit, and a large number of people and horses came and went, coming and going, stirring this long silent night into a pot of boiling water.

After learning that Cheng Sujin and Cheng Yu disappeared for no reason, Cheng Yan specially dispatched his own soldiers to search for suspicious locations in the capital, and worked all night with great fanfare, but still found nothing.
In the Shuying Hall in the main courtyard of Cheng Mansion, Cheng Yan sat on the Taishi chair with an anxious expression, listening to the news that groups of people came to report the fruitless search, and his brows were furrowed into a slit.
"How could this man disappear for no reason as he walked down the street? ”
Zhang sat next to Cheng Yan and raised his eyebrows, glared at Lan Xin and the others who were traveling with Cheng Sujin and Cheng Yu, and reprimanded: "So many people can't look down on a girl and a child, what's the use of me raising you waste?"
"Then who caught Jin'er and Yu'er?" Liu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a bitter face, "These two children usually go out little, and they are all familiar people, how could they be taken away for no reason?"
"Sister, there is a saying... You're afraid you'll be upset if you say it. Zhang looked at Liu, who was crying and crying on the side, and said meaningfully, "Why did you say that you arrested your pair of children so coincidentally, did you offend someone outside, and people want to take revenge?"
However, in fact, the only person who Yuyin Villa wants to arrest is Cheng Yu, and the reason why Cheng Xiuning is counted is only because she was too close to Cheng Yu at the time, rather than taking Cheng Yu away at the risk of being discovered, it is better to pack the two together, anyway, they are just women and children, so they should buy one and get one free.
And Liu was originally sad, but now when he heard Zhang's words, he immediately stopped his tears and blushed and said excitedly: "Eldest sister, what are you talking about? Also, it's not your children who are losing anyway, you really don't have to be as frightened as me, maybe, you're still secretly happy in your heart. ”
"Sister, you're talking too much. Zhang rubbed his temples for a while, and his tone was slightly displeased, "This Ning'er and Yu'er are going to call me a big lady anyway, and I usually hurt them a lot." As soon as they had an accident, I quickly ordered someone to go out overnight to look for them, and I have been working so hard that I have a headache, and you are saying this now, is it a little too unkind?"
"But you just ......"
"Okay, when is there still time to quarrel here?" Cheng Yan scolded, and said with a stern expression, "What are your children, my children, these are all the children of our Cheng family." If the big one doesn't make it, you will know that the disobedience is ......"
He paused for a moment and glanced at Cheng Xuan, who was sitting opposite: "If the little one is lost again, what face will I, Cheng Yan, have to face the ancestors of the Cheng family!"
Hearing this, Zhang looked at Cheng Xuan with a sullen face, his face showed a bit of blame, and he sighed unwillingly in his heart.
The only and biggest concern is that Cheng Xuan, as the eldest son, is deviant and unenterprising, which has disappointed Cheng Yan. Now that she heard Cheng Yan's accusations in person, as her own mother and the mistress of the Cheng family, she not only couldn't hold it on her face, but also felt even more heartache in her heart.
At this time, she was even a little glad that Cheng Yu disappeared for no reason.
After all, if the Cheng family only has one son left in the end, no matter how unsuccessful Cheng Xuan is, Cheng Yan can only pin his hopes on him and hand over the Cheng family to him.
In the face of his father's merciless accusations, Cheng Xuan crooked his mouth, but he still looked disapproving.
He deliberately avoided Zhang's gaze, turned his face and comforted Liu: "Dad is right, Erniang, don't get excited." Today's winter solstice, the city gate has long been closed, this person must be hiding in the capital, let's look carefully, we will definitely be able to find it. ”
Hearing this, the Zhang family hurriedly took advantage of the situation and agreed: "Xuan'er is right, they must still be in this capital now, sister, you don't have to be too sad, these people dare to go against our Cheng family, they really have the courage of an ambitious leopard, and they must not be spared when the time comes." ”
At this time, Cheng Sujin, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said: "These people dare to go against our Cheng family, and they are not ordinary people. ”
Hearing Cheng Sujin's words, everyone was stunned, and Liu's face became even more worried when he heard this.
"It's also... However, the person who captured the second sister and the younger brother seemed to know that the two of them would be on the street today to participate in the winter solstice festival. Cheng Xuan said thoughtfully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "You say, could it be someone who is familiar with us who did it?"
"It should be someone who knows us well and holds a grudge against us, right?"
Cheng Sujin took a shallow sip of the tea cup in his hand, and a hint of cunning appeared in the slender Danfeng eyes.
"Who will be the one who knows us and hates us?"
Liu lowered his eyes and pondered carefully what Cheng Sujin said, and Zhang on the side also fell into deep thought when he heard the words. However, after a short silence, the two suddenly raised their heads and looked at each other, their eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Is it ......?"
Cheng Sujin saw that the Zhang family and the Liu family had already guessed eight or nine, so he said unhurriedly: "Actually, I'm just guessing, but she has lived in our Cheng Mansion for more than ten years, and she knows that the younger brother has to go to the festival every winter solstice, if this is an outsider, I'm afraid I won't understand it so clearly, right?"
"Who are you talking about?" Cheng Xuan looked a little puzzled, "Can't it be that he chose to arrest people on a temporary basis?"
"No, being able to arrest people without knowing it is by no means a temporary idea, it must have been premeditated. ”
Cheng Yan clenched the armrest on the chair, and a grim look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
It was too coincidental to suddenly cause an incident at such a critical juncture, and he concluded that the people who took Cheng Sujin and Cheng Yu away were not for revenge as these Cheng family daughters said, but so that he could be controlled by others so as to achieve a certain goal.
"But if it's really Cheng Jinzhi's dead girl, she should be the one who should hold her sister's grudge the most, why do you want to do it to my child?"
Liu didn't know what Cheng Yan was thinking, she said with grievances, completely ignoring the fierce expression of the Zhang family on the side.
As soon as Cheng Xuan heard that the object of their suspicion was Cheng Jinzhi, he immediately stood up and said unevenly: "How could it be done by Jinzhi?
"You stupid boy, why do you turn your elbow out? What benefits did that Cheng Jinzhi give you, you can help her speak. ”
"That's it, this girl hates our Cheng family, what can't she do?"
“……”
"Don't even guess. ”
At this moment, Cheng Yan impatiently interrupted everyone's discussion, stood up and looked at the group of people outside the door, and his tone was sharp.
"Send a few people to watch outside the Yan Wang's Mansion, and the rest of the people continue to look for it. Even if you turn the capital upside down, you have to find out the little young master!"
