Second Young Master Ruan, who is a father, is naturally very anxious about the disappearance of his daughter, but he has not lost his mind like Grandma Qiu.

He nodded: "I've already asked." ”

Fang Hanniang thought for a while and said, "If my cousin and sister-in-law don't mind, let me ask them again?" My cousin and sister-in-law can also check to see if there are any discrepancies in their confessions and see if they are lying. ”

Second Young Master Ruan was just about to nod, but Second Grandma Qiu over there was already eagerly said, "You ask, Han Niang, you just ask!" ”

Fang Hanniang nodded and looked at the few people kneeling in the hall.

She looked at one of the maids and called her name: "Xingyan, you have been following Miaomiao for many years, right?" ”

Star's eyes trembled, and she knelt on the ground and nodded tremblingly.

Fang Hanniang asked, "Then when did you find out that your young lady was missing tonight?" ”

"...... tonight" Xingyan's voice trembled so much that she couldn't hear what she was saying, Fang Hanniang interrupted her, "You say it well!" This is a matter of your young lady's safety! If your young lady can get it back, maybe she can save your life. If so......"

Fang Hanniang didn't continue.

But everyone knows the meaning of Fang Hanniang's words.

If Ruan Zhilan can't be found, then these maids and women who serve closely will have to accompany Ruan Zhilan to the funeral.

Starry eyes shuddered fiercely.

She knew that the cousin in front of her was a kind-hearted person, and the last time their young lady was lost, the cousin found an excuse to leave the banquet and run to find someone without saying a word; Later, she heard that Bailing had committed an accident and was kicked out of the house, and the family was helpless, and she also heard in private that this cousin raised her hand and found a Zhuangzi to settle Bailing's family.

Xing's eyes trembled, she knew that no matter whether her young lady could find it back this time, she would not be able to escape the crime.

To be honest, it is estimated that a board is the lightest......

If she said everything in 1510, maybe this cousin would be able to raise her hand and give her a way out when the time comes, for the sake of her not lying?

With such thoughts, Xingyan took a deep breath, calmed down, and tried not to make his voice sound so shaky: "Today, this evening, after the young lady has eaten, she said that she is not very comfortable and wants to rest." Because the young lady was infected with the cold before, the slave maid wondered if the condition had worsened again, Ben, I wanted to tell the lady, but the young lady said no, let the slave and maid bring the medicine to her, and she could take the medicine...... The slave maid saw that the young lady's spirit was not bad, so she listened to the young lady, and fried the medicine for her...... After the young lady took the medicine, she drove the slave and maid out of the room, saying that she should rest and rest quietly, and let the slave and maid not disturb her......

Fang Hanniang nodded slightly, motioning for the starry eyes to continue.

Seeing that Fang Hanniang didn't scold her or anything, Xingyan plucked up a little courage, and she said again: "...... Then the slave waited in the pantry next to her, waiting for the young lady to send ...... However, the young lady never called the slave maid, and the slave maid thought that the young lady was asleep...... Who knows......"

There was already a cry in the star's voice, and she regretted it very much in her heart, if she had risked being scolded at that time, it would have been good to open the door and have a look.

“…… At night, because the slave maid was worried about whether the silver frost charcoal in the young lady's house was burned out, she wanted to go in and help the young lady change the charcoal basin......" Xingyan said with a crying voice, "At that time, the slave and maid saw that the quilt on the bed was bulging, and it seemed that a human figure was facing away from the slave and maid, and the slave and maid did not suspect it, thinking that the young lady was asleep in the quilt, so she lightly changed the charcoal in the charcoal basin and went out. ”

When Fang Hanniang saw the starry eyes emphasizing the quilt, she knew that Ruan Zhilan had disappeared at this time.

Sure enough, Grandma Qiu Er, who had been listening on the side, couldn't help but scold: "You lazy! Your lady sleeps with her back to you, won't you go and tuck the quilt for her?! …… If you had found out that it was just a pillow stuffed in the quilt, why didn't you find out that Miao Miao was missing until now! ”

Grandma Qiu Er was already spicy, but this time, she scolded and scolded, probably worried about Ruan Zhilan's comfort, but she couldn't help crying.

Xingyan also cried, and she kowtowed again and again to confess: "Second grandmother, it's all the slave's fault, it's all the slave's fault." ”

Fang Hanniang stopped her starry eyes: "Then how did you find out that Miaomiao was not in the house?" ”

Xingyan wiped the tears on her face: "In the evening, the second grandmother came over and asked Miss Slave how she was doing, and the slave replied truthfully that Miss had already fallen asleep." The second grandmother went to visit the young lady in the house...... Only then did I find out that the quilt had been stuffed with a pillow...... The window on the side was still wide open...... "Xingyan thought about the situation at that time, and only felt desperate, "Slave, slave and maid, I really don't know when the young lady disappeared!" ”

Grandma Qiu Er couldn't help but scold the star-eyed people with tears in her voice.

A beautiful grandmother, scolding people like this, although she is very out of shape, but she can see that she is really anxious and desperate in her heart.

Think about it, a thirteen-year-old girl who turned over the New Year is a good age, and she disappeared in the middle of the night, and she didn't know if she was taken away or ran away from home.

No matter which one it is, as long as the slightest bit of news is revealed, Ruan Zhilan will never want to be a person in her life.

It's not like you're missing from a banquet, and you can find a reason to be "playful". Although that really discredits the Pingguo Mansion, it is much better than losing its clean reputation.

At present, this game can only be broken by finding Ruan Zhilan.

Otherwise, Ruan Zhilan's reputation, and even the reputation of the entire Pingguo Mansion's female dependents, would be ruined, and there would be no scum left.

Grandma Qiu Er cried and said to Grandma Li Si: "When the shameless Kong family lost his child and came to the Pingguo Mansion to cry, I was still there, I felt that this Kong family was incorruptible and shameful, and an outer room still had the face to make trouble in the Pingguo Mansion, if it weren't for her, there wouldn't have been so many things in the mansion later...... Now that Miao Miao is gone, I can understand a little bit of her mood at that time...... Oh my wonder, where have you been! …… It's the middle of the night, where do you let your mother find you! ”

Qiu Er's grandmother cried blood, which made people feel uncomfortable when they heard it.

Second Young Master Ruan is also an iron-clad man, he has been controlling his anxiety since his daughter was lost, and now his wife is crying like this, he is even more unbearable, and he stood up from the stool with red eyes: "I'll lead the troops, search the streets and alleys!" If you really can't do it, you will lead the troops out of the city to search, no matter what happens to Miaomiao...... Be sure to get it back! ”

Fourth Young Master Ruan also stood up: "Second brother, I'll go with you to find Miaomiao!" ”

Fang Hanniang took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and called out to the two cousins: "Second cousin, fourth cousin, wait a minute!" Wait until I'm done asking these girls! …… I don't know any information at the moment, so I rushed to find Miaomiao, if Miaomiao was kidnapped, she would only startle the snake now! ”

Fang Hanniang said that Second Young Master Ruan didn't know!

However, his beloved daughter disappeared late at night, and Second Master Ruan was already about to lose his mind.

Fang Hanniang looked at the kneeling star eyes on the ground again: "...... In recent days, has your young lady behaved abnormally? ”

Before this question, Grandma Qiu Er hadn't asked Xingyan.

Xingyan was stunned for a moment, she knelt on the ground and trembled for a long time, and then she was a little uncertain: "...... Miss seems to be in a bad mood these two days...... Because of the wind cold, the slave really doesn't know if this is a relationship between the wind and the cold......"

"What else?" Fang Hanniang asked patiently.

Xingyan tried hard to recall, and then she seemed to remember something, and she said eagerly: "The slave has remembered!" …… Once, because the decoction was hot, the slave accidentally spilled some, so she panicked and broke into the young lady's house without knocking on the door...... Because it was a big mistake for the slave to break in without knocking on the door, the young lady scolded the slave and maid severely...... The slave forgot about it......"

Fang Hanniang groaned secretly in her heart.

What's hidden?

A lady who is beautiful, what is there to hide for fear of being seen?

Fang Hanniang thought of the letterhead first.

But this matter is not trivial, she did not say anything, but nodded: "Is there anything else?" ”

Xingyan shook his head timidly: "The slave can't think of it anymore." ”

Fang Hanniang turned around and looked at Second Young Master Ruan: "Second cousin, can you help me call the mother-in-law who is guarding the corner gate in the west tonight?" ”

"The corner gate to the west?" Second Young Master Ruan frowned slightly.

It was a desolate corner, with several deserted yards, which no one usually went to, and there was a large broken wooden door, usually locked with a rusty lock.

It is even said that the ordinary people in the house don't know about this place, this is because Fang Hanniang wandered around before, and when she walked there, she knew that there was such a door.

Fang Hanniang nodded calmly: "I think that with the guards at the side gates of the Pingguo Mansion, it is unlikely that Miao Miao will sneak out from those guards." ”

Grandma Qiu Er cried out in a lost voice: "Han Niang, do you think ...... Miao Miao sneaked out? ”

Fang Hanniang nodded and said calmly: "Second sister-in-law, you see, judging from these unusual phenomena, she should have sneaked out; If the thieves kidnapped Miaomiao, there was no trace of struggle in the house, and he wanted to kidnap Miaomiao, how could he stuff pillows into the quilt and even bother to disguise the quilt as if it was sleeping? ”

Fang Hanniang's other suspicions she didn't say, after all, there is no evidence at the moment, and saying that those vague suspicions will increase everyone's panic and anxiety.

Second Young Master Ruan nodded: "We also had doubts about what you said...... he called out to his personal entourage with a cautious face, and whispered a few words.

The chief retained the order and went.

Not long after, a mother-in-law with a panicked face was brought back by the long-term secret.
