"What else could I think?" Zhen Chutian clutched his sleeves tightly, and he couldn't relax for a long time.

Pei'er hurriedly said: "Maybe Xiaoling just left her clothes here, and she is still alive."

Hearing this, Zhen Chutian really relieved her heart, she hurriedly waved her hand and instructed everyone: "You search the Prime Minister's Mansion inside and out, and you must find Xiaoling's figure." ”

She didn't believe it, Xiaoling was a big living person, and she would disappear out of thin air within a few hours.

Pei'er hurriedly took two steps forward: "Miss, what should the slave do?"

Zhen Chutian glanced at her twice, and then said, "Go, you go to the gate of the mansion with me." ”

After speaking, she turned around and left, and when the two of them came to the gate of the mansion, they saw two little servants dutifully guarding the door of the mansion.

Ever since she sent the two janitors, the newcomers have been very capable, and they don't even say a word of irrelevance all day long.

She settled down and stepped forward to ask, "Have you ever seen Xiaoling go out?"

"Miss Xiaoling has not left the house." The little guy replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Zhen Chutian put his mind at ease and returned to the compound with Xiaoling.

She knew that since Xiaoling didn't go out, the only ones who could make her, a big living person, disappear out of thin air in the mansion were Tang Meihua's mother and daughter.

Seeing the little guys walking around looking for traces, Tang Meihua stood under the porch and was very angry.

Zhen Chutian clenched his fists, and couldn't guess where Xiao Ling was locked up by Tang Meihua and the others.

But as long as she looks for it, she will definitely be able to find clues.

Thinking of this, before Zhen Chutian could look for it, he heard an exclamation behind him.

"I'm pregnant, I can't be frightened! What do you mean by letting the little guy look for it in this courtyard? If you alarm the baby in my womb, you can't afford it!" Tang Meihua relied on her own joy, so she reprimanded mercilessly.

"Mother, of course I know that I can't afford it, but now the situation is urgent, Xiaoling disappeared in the house for no reason, I won't be willing to find her, please take care of my mother, you can go to the house and sit and wait."

Zhen Chutian didn't want to talk to him at all, but she knew that if she wanted to find Xiaoling, she would have to entangle Tang Meihua more, and the tone of her voice became less unacceptable.

Knowing that this was a human life after all, Tang Meihua could only turn around and enter the house angrily even if she was reluctant.

However, after a while, Xiao Xi gathered in front of Zhen Chutian out of breath, and they all said that they had not seen Xiao Ling.

Zhen Chutian looked around and said in disbelief: "Impossible! Xiaoling is such a big living person, and she didn't go out of the courtyard, she must still be in the courtyard, have you looked for it carefully?"

"Miss Hui, we have carefully searched for the houses in each yard, and there is really no Xiaoling." The little guys all said this helplessly.

Seeing their determined looks, Zhen Chutian's heart really sank.

She knew that Xiao Ling was probably more than lucky at the moment.

"Sister, Xiaoling has disappeared, that means that Wow doesn't want to stay in the house to serve you, even if you look for it, it's useless, the capital is so big, it is estimated that she has already escaped without a trace, sister should sit down and have a good rest and drink tea."

Zhen Yue walked over with a smile. Not only did he not worry about her, but he smiled gloatingly.

Who told Xiaoling to betray her in the first place? He deserves to be punished now.

Looking at her smiling appearance, Zhen Chutian's face became more and more ugly: "You'd better treat me honestly, don't talk cool here, otherwise I won't be polite to you!"

"Why don't you be polite to me? I'm just comforting you, isn't that wrong?" Zhen Yue looked at her for a long time, holding her arms proudly.

In the past, it was Zhen Chutian who suppressed her and her mother everywhere, but now that feng shui is turning, it is their turn to press Zhen Chutian tightly.

Zhen Chutian sneered, seeing what she was thinking, she raised her hand and slapped it without hesitation.

Zhen Yue covered her face, her scalp was numb from being beaten, her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't tell what she wanted to do.

Zhen Chutian narrowed his eyes: "Come, can you say one more thing?"

Looking at her fierce eyes, Zhen Yue suddenly didn't dare to say more, but she felt that she had lost face like this.

Just when she wanted to speak again, Zhen Chutian had already pushed away and entered the main hall.

Tang Meihua saw her come in, and immediately smiled: "What, haven't you found Xiaoling yet?"

"Mother, I really don't care about the past with you, you are now coming out to raise a baby in the main courtyard, no matter what, you are a great hero of our Prime Minister's Mansion, if you give birth to a son and a half daughter, my father and I will be happier in our hearts, so please stop pestering me because of the previous things, try your best to retaliate against me, and return Xiaoling, okay?"

Zhen Chutian said these words seriously, his face was very solemn.

At this time, you can't be hard, otherwise Tang Meihua will only be more energetic than her.

Tang Meihua waved her hand: "You really misunderstood, I don't want to continue to entangle grievances with you, the reason why I watched you find someone is because I really don't know where Xiaoling is, she may not want to serve anymore, so she stole the money and ran out, why do you have to look for it with such fanfare?"

She said it very gently, and it didn't sound strange at all.

But Mu Qing knew very well in her heart that it was her hand.

Zhen Chutian can be sure that Xiaoling has been hidden by them now, and she doesn't know where she is.

If she insists on such a stalemate, Xiao Ling will be more and more dangerous, so she should not delay here.

Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian nodded: "Okay, since my mother said so, then I won't bother and leave." With that, she turned and left.

After she left the main courtyard. Tang Meihua gradually put away her smile and snorted coldly: "Let's see how she can find clues this time." ”

"Mother, it's better not to take it lightly, after all, she is no longer the real Zhen Chutian she used to be, let's take a long-term view and see how we can solve this matter and completely let Xiaoling disappear from this world." Zhen Yue hurriedly reminded her, for fear that her mother would suffer like last time.

Tang Meihua nodded, and said with relief: "You have always had the best way, the most important thing now is not to let Zhen Chutian find Xiaoling, you quickly take someone to solve this." ”

"Yes, Mother, I'll go." Zhen Yue nodded, glanced at Cui Ping next to her, and the two left immediately.

Watching the two of them leave the compound, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but move slightly in his heart.

"They're just looking for Xiaoling, right? It seems that Xiaoling is really not hiding outside the house, otherwise the young lady would have found it a long time ago. Pei'er hid behind a tree, glad that her young lady had insisted on looking for Xiaoling in the house.

But she couldn't figure out where these people were going.

"Let's go, let's hurry up." Zhen Chutian narrowed his eyes and immediately took two steps forward.

The two of them followed behind secretly, but after a while, they followed to the garden.

And Zhen Yue took Cuiping to the back of the garden rockery and never came out.

Zhen Chutian couldn't wait for anyone, so he walked over to see it.

They walked to the back of the rockery, only to find that there was no one here, and Zhen Yue and Cuiping seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"No, it can't be." Zhen Chutian frowned, only feeling that it was too outrageous at this time.

She hurriedly patted the rockery, but found that there was a mechanism in the rockery, and the small stone grew abruptly on the rockery, which could obviously be twisted and removed at will.

Zhen Chutian hesitated for a moment, casually pressed the stone and twisted it three times to the left.

At this time, the rockery suddenly rumbled, and it slowly opened an opening from the bottom to the top, revealing the aisle of the black hole inside.

Zhen Chutian and Pei Erju both opened their eyes wide.

How many times they went back and forth in the back garden, they didn't expect that there was such a secret in the rockery.

The two walked in without hesitation.

Zhen Chutian walked down the dark corridor, and before he could walk long, he heard Xiao Ling's screams, accompanied by Zhen Yue's sneer.

She chuckled in her heart and hurriedly walked over. I saw that the two maids and Cuiping were carrying lanterns, illuminating Xiaoling who was tied to a wooden shelf in the middle.

Xiao Ling's hands were dragged up by iron ropes, and her whole body was covered with blood marks from the whip, even on her face, which was miserable to look at.

Is this still human! He was so vicious to a little girl!

Zhen Chutian gritted his teeth angrily, and just as he wanted to step forward, he heard Zhen Yue snort coldly: "Do you know why you ended up like this today?" That's because you are too ungrateful, when I gave you fifty taels of silver to let you go back to the compound, you refused to follow me, and now is the time for you to pay.

With that, she raised her hand and two more whips fell.

"The life of the slave maid was picked up by the eldest lady, so I only recognize her as my master, the slave maid has never betrayed when I served you in the past, even if you kill me, I have a clear conscience!" Xiao Ling whined twice, her eyes were full of hatred and despair, but she didn't give in at all because she was in a predicament.

Zhen Chutian felt uncomfortable when he saw it, turned around and closed his eyes. After thinking about it carefully, he walked out without hesitation.

"What is my sister doing?"

Hearing the sudden sound behind her, Zhen Yue turned her head sharply like a ghost, and saw that Zhen Chutian had already appeared in front of her for a long time, and her face was very cold.

When Xiaoling saw her coming, she immediately cried: "Miss, Miss, save the slave!"

"Don't worry, I'll save you." Zhen Chutian comforted, and then looked at the woman in front of her: "You arrested my maid from the Lotus Pavilion without permission and tied it here to fight, do you know what the consequences will be if your father learns about this matter?"

"This ...... I didn't mean to punish Xiao Ling, it was she who spoke disrespectfully to me first, so I thought about trying to teach her a lesson, lock her up here for two days and then let her out, who knew that these maids were too ignorant, and they directly beat Xiao Ling into this appearance, you must not be angry, I will ask the best doctor to take the best gold sore medicine to treat Xiao Ling's injuries. ”

Zhen Yue hurriedly said this with a smile, for fear that he would make a big deal about it.

But Zhen Chutian snorted coldly: "No matter what Xiaoling says, it is impossible to offend you, and you can't directly beat her like this, do you know what the consequences will be if you touch my maid?" It's impossible to fool the past, so be prepared to be punished by your father. ”

After saying this, she turned around and left without hesitation, her face was very ugly: "If you have the ability, continue to beat him to death, and I will tell my father to see if your whip is hard, or if your father's reprimand is more unfavorable to you." ”

Seeing that she was really going to leave directly, Zhen Yue was startled, and hurriedly took two steps forward: "Sister, sister, am I really joking with her?" I don't mean to be hurt and scared, you must not worry about me, can't I let her go?"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand to a few maids.

Cui Ping and a few maids hurriedly put Xiao Ling down.

Xiao Ling was in too much pain, and she didn't last long before she fainted.
