As soon as Fang Hanniang entered the house, Second Young Master Ruan, who had a headache, saw Fang Hanniang at a glance.

"Han Niang, you're here!" Second Young Master Ruan's eager tone was filled with a hint of relief.

Grandma Qiu's second grandmother trembled in her hands, holding the golden hairpin, and silently opened her mouth at Fang Hanniang, but she didn't speak.

Fang Hanniang recognized that the golden hairpin in Qiu Er's grandmother's hand was Ruan Zhilan's favorite on weekdays.

Ruan Jifeng was also very anxious on the side, and was there to persuade Grandma Qiuer: "Mother, a golden hairpin can't explain anything." It can only show that my sister did go to the pear orchard to listen to the church meeting...... Maybe it's getting late at the moment, and I can't sneak back and find an inn to rest? ”

Grandma Qiu Er cried so much that she couldn't speak.

She had already decided that her daughter had not come back so late, and the golden hairpin had been left on the ground, so she should have been taken away or something had happened.

Otherwise, my daughter likes this golden hairpin so much, how could she let her be left on the ground?

It must have been that the daughter couldn't help herself at that time.

Fang Hanniang looked at Second Young Master Ruan: "Second cousin, apart from this golden hairpin, is there no other trace?" ”

Second Young Master Ruan sat back in his chair with some frustration and resentment, and slapped Xiao Ji hard: "No! The steward is very cunning, this golden hairpin is left in the box, I asked him who was in the box, he asked me in turn, didn't I say that my young lady lost the ornament, why did he ask him who he was? …… It's really oily! Fourth Young Master Ruan later went to the pear orchard to help Second Young Master Ruan find someone, and he added on the side: "Later, I still used force, and the person in charge was scared, so they really didn't know who was sitting in this box, but they only knew that a mysterious man came to book an ...... early in the morning."

"If you ask again, you can't ask anything." Fourth Young Master Ruan said in a deep voice.

Fang Hanniang nodded, understanding the situation.

She was more and more inclined to this time Ruan Zhilan didn't know how she received a note from the prince of Rui Wang - it is tentatively that the man Ruan Zhilan has taken a fancy to is the prince of Rui Wang. On the note, King Rui asked Ruan Zhilan to go out to watch the show, Ruan Zhilan is a young, twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, young and ignorant, it is the time to look forward to love, she may have moved her mind, and decided to sneak out to see the hall meeting with the prince of Rui - from what she said to Lei Pozi, she came back after an hour, and there was a specific time, which shows that she really planned to come back, and she was not running to elope with the prince of Rui. Then, if she hasn't come back now, it can only mean that she was held hostage by the prince of Rui......

After all, if that man is really the prince of King Rui, with Ruan Zhilan's identity, she can marry to King Rui's Mansion as a continuation, and she doesn't need to elope with Prince Rui's prince, or stay in King Rui's Mansion overnight, and ruin her future with any bad reputation.

Fang Hanniang glanced at the golden hairpin again, and suddenly asked, "Where did you find this golden hairpin?" ”

Second Young Master Ruan said, "Under a chair." The chair was very heavy, but fortunately a few searchers were very careful, and they found this golden hairpin. ”

Fang Hanniang said thoughtfully: "Since this golden hairpin was left in such a place that is not easy to be found, what was the situation when it was left behind?" ”

As soon as this question was asked, Second Young Master Ruan was stunned for a moment.

With such hard work to find physical evidence, few people doubt the authenticity of the physical evidence.

This golden hairpin is so secretive, but it is more like someone is deliberately pulling them to discover this physical evidence.

Second Young Master Ruan hesitated and said, "What does Han Niang mean is that this golden hairpin was deliberately thrown under the chair by Miaomiao so that she could leave us a piece of evidence?" ”

This is certainly a possibility.

However, judging from the whole incident of Ruan Zhilan's disappearance, Fang Hanniang is more inclined to say that someone deliberately threw the golden hairpin under the chair, just to tell them that Ruan Zhilan was robbed.

So, what is the purpose of doing this for that person?

Fang Hanniang pondered for a long time, but there was no answer.

The atmosphere in the room was very dreary.

Grandma Qiu's tears were almost dry.

Second Young Master Ruan is in this dreary atmosphere, and his beloved daughter is suspected of being kidnapped, where can he sit still.

He darkened his face: "No, I'll look around this Xijing myself, maybe there are some clues!" ”

Fourth Young Master Ruan immediately stood up as well: "Second brother, I'll look for you separately." ”

Fang Hanniang didn't stop the two cousins of Second Young Master Ruan and Fourth Young Master. She knew that if she didn't let them do something right now, they would definitely collapse.

Even Fang Hanniang couldn't wait to go out and look for Ruan Zhilan all over the street - although she knew that this would be useless, no less than looking for a needle in a haystack, but if she was really not asked to do anything, she would definitely not be able to stand it.

Ruan Jifeng also stood up: "Dad, fourth uncle, I'm going to find my sister too!" ”

Second Young Master Ruan glared at Ruan Jifeng, and before he could say anything, Second Grandma Qiu was already crying and pulled Ruan Jifeng back.

Grandma Qiu's second grandmother was very hoarse, and she cried: "My son, now your sister has suffered this kind of disaster, if you go out again, the road is so slippery late at night, if there is something bad, you still won't let your mother live." ”

Ruan Jifeng was at a loss by his mother's crying, so he had to look at Second Young Master Ruan as if asking for help.

"I'm here with your mother!" Second Young Master Ruan glared at his son and strode out of the door.

Fourth Young Master Ruan also followed.

Fang Hanniang sighed in her heart, simply stepped forward, sat down next to Grandma Qiu, and comforted her softly: "Second cousin-in-law, don't be so depressed, don't you know what's going on right now?" Maybe it's really like Feng'er said, Miaomiao just saw that it was late and found an inn to rest? ”

Fang Hanniang's handling of things in this matter is not chaotic, and her reliable analysis has won the great trust of Grandma Qiuer, as soon as she heard Fang Hanniang say the same, it can be seen that this is also a little possible, she excitedly took Fang Hanniang's hand: "Does Hanniang think so too...... That's right, Miaomiao must have seen that it was getting late, and the wind and snow outside were so big, that Lei Pozi didn't open the door for her when she drank and misunderstood, so she found a nearby inn to rest...... "The more Grandma Qiu Er said, the more she felt that this was the case, she looked sad, and took Fang Hanniang's hand, "Hanniang, you say, that's right?" ”

Grandma Qiu Er looked at Fang Hanniang expectantly.

Facing such a pair of expectant eyes, Fang Hanniang's heart was sour.

But she still endured the sourness in her heart, and nodded lightly: "It must be so." ”

Grandma Qiu Er seemed to be relieved, and she also looked a little bright, and she couldn't help but say in a dumb voice: "Miaomiao, this child, it's really worrying...... When she comes back tomorrow, I'm going to break her dog's legs! ”

Ruan Jifeng also pretended to cooperate with Grandma Qiu Er easily, and shouted like a treasure: "Mother, you are so ruthless, my sister is still young, you are going to break her legs, she is lame, don't I want to support her for a lifetime?" ”

Qiu Er's grandmother spat on her son, with an ugly smile on her face: "Why, you still don't want to let you raise your sister for the rest of your life." ”

"Where, where," Ruan Jifeng forced a smile and exclaimed, "Don't say that I will raise my sister for a lifetime, I am willing to raise her in the next life!" ”

I don't know where these words touched Qiu Er's grandmother's heart, she just stopped a few tears slightly, and gushed out like spring water.

"Your sister ......" Qiu Er's grandmother cried blankly, "Even if she comes back tomorrow, many of these people in the family know that she hasn't returned all night...... I can't hide this at all...... The reputation of our house has been splashed with a lot of dirty water these days, and if your sister comes out like this again, eighty percent, eighty percent will really depend on you for a lifetime......"

These words are too sad, Ruan Jifeng is still young, and he has not yet cultivated the consciousness of a man who does not cry easily. He took a heavy sip of snot that ran down because of the sourness, and cried heavily, but he smiled forcefully: "Mother, don't worry, no matter what happens, Miaomiao will always be my sister." As long as I have a bite of being an older brother, I will never go hungry...... We are better together as a family than anything else. ”

Qiu Er's grandmother looked at her son fixedly, with tears in her eyes, but a little smile bloomed on her face: "Okay! Good boy! ”

Fang Hanniang looked at this scene and couldn't help but think of Fang Zhiniang and Fang Minghuai.

She couldn't help but be deeply touched in her heart.

Fang Hanniang thought silently in her heart, I hope this matter will not be contaminated with the prince of Rui......

Since the previous birthday banquet of the crown princess, Fang Hanniang had an inexplicable vigilance against the prince of Rui Wang, who had never been in contact.

This vigilance does not come from the recognition of the person, but is close to the sixth sense of a woman, almost an intuition.

In the silent waiting of everyone, the night gradually passed, and the dawn came.

This once-in-a-century blizzard has been raging for many days, and even the dawn, which symbolizes a new beginning of the day, looks groggy.

Fang Hanniang has been sitting with Grandma Qiu's flower hall and waiting together.

At this moment, there was a sudden cry of an owl outside.

It's a rare thing to have owls in winter, but right now, Grandma Qiu Er and Ruan Jifeng are all thinking about Ruan Zhilan, and they are not on this piece at all, so they don't feel that anything is wrong.

Only Fang Hanniang, her eyes lit up slightly.

She quietly moved to the window, opened it a small gap, and looked out carefully.

A small note was thrown in from the window.

There are only three words written on it.

"Shaohua Mansion".

Shaohua Mansion is the house next to Ji Jinxing's mansion that Fang Hanniang bought before.

In fact, this is not the original name of the house, but Fang Hanniang later bought the house and started again.

Fang Hanniang's heart jumped to her throat suddenly.

She knew that Ji Jinxing would not call her to Shaohua Mansion in vain.
