Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 150 Disappearing
The people got up again to greet them.

Mrs. Li's complexion was not very good, she just entered the inner room, she stepped forward and took Li Taiwei into her arms, stroked her back lightly, said repeatedly:
"Don't be afraid, Aluan, don't be afraid, Aluan... Grandmother is here, grandma is here..."

Li Shu stepped forward and greeted each other with Zhaohe, and said helplessly when she saw this:

"Mother, how old is A Luan, and he's not a child..."

After hearing the sound, Mrs. Li let go of Li Taiwei, looked her up and down carefully, then cast a glance at Li Shu, and said plausibly:
"How do you know this? No matter how old she is, she is still a child. If she encounters something unclean, what will happen if her soul is hooked?"

Li Shu smiled wryly and glanced at Li Taiwei, although her face was a bit unnatural, she still had lingering fears:

"I heard that sister Wei saw a figure passing by the window last night, is there such a thing?"

"I went to bed early last night, but I didn't hear anything outside... What have you found out now?"

Li Taiwei still didn't know how his father's investigation was going, so he nodded with Li Shu and looked towards Zhaohe.

"Mother, last night my father asked someone to interrogate the servants in my yard. Is there any clue now?"

Showa's face tightened slightly, as if there was something unspeakable.

Mrs. Li also looked at Zhaohe with a nervous expression, her eyes widened and she urged:
"What? Could it be that the servants in the house are really causing trouble?"

"How could Sanlang keep everyone from me about such a big event last night? If it wasn't for Nanny Sun who heard the story, I wouldn't know that such a thing happened in the mansion..."

Li Shu was under the table, gently tugged at the corner of Mrs. Li's clothes, and then gave her a wink, telling her not to worry, but to listen to what Zhaohe had to say first.

Showa was silent for a moment, then frowned and said:
"Last night, Xianggong stayed in the study room. When I got up early, I heard him say a few vague words. He only said that the servants of Fangfei Garden did not find anything wrong, but... a maid named Ying'er was missing..."

Li Taiwei's expression became tense, and he hurriedly asked:
"Less? How do you say that?"

Showa said worriedly:
"I heard that she was not on duty yesterday, so I took leave of absence with the gatekeeper at noon, and told me that I would go home to visit my father, and said that I would return to the mansion this morning. But after looking at Chenshi, she still did not come back. I just reported it to Mama Tian..."

"Mother Tian went to the concierge to inquire in person. She is indeed the mansion where she left at noon yesterday, and she has not been seen anywhere at the back door...Mother Tian is worried about reporting this matter to your father."

"Your father ordered people to search for her at home, but his father and elder brother said that she did not come home yesterday, and no one has been found yet..."

Li Taiwei suppressed the waves in his eyes.

Ying'er is the fire-burning girl in her yard, she vaguely remembers that she is a year older than her, she is honest and responsible, she rarely speaks normally.

Mother Jin also mentioned a few days ago that Ying'er's mother died early, and there was only a frail and sick old man and a brother who was idle all day. She was also a poor man. She thought that after the new year, she would also be married. So he asked Zhaohe to assign her to the steward of Zhuangzi.

Showa also nodded on this matter, but why did Ying'er suddenly disappear?

A few days ago, because of the deaths of Mrs. Bai and Nanny Qin, her father thoroughly investigated the people in the mansion. Even Huayan could be found out by his father, let alone a girl who burns fire?What secret can she hide?
Mrs. Li's complexion suddenly sank, and she told Nanny Sun:

"Don't say anything about this, wait until Saburo finds someone..."

"Last night's incident made the people below me shut up! Don't damage Miss Wei's reputation... If anyone spreads the slightest word, I will be killed immediately!"

Grandma Sun bowed in response, and retreated to the outside room to give orders to the maidservants one by one.

Li Taiwei's expression was gloomy, and she always felt that something was missing.

Could it be that Ying'er asked for leave with the gatekeeper nanny because of the suspicion, but she didn't leave the mansion but hid in a dark place?But how could servants in the mansion avoid the concierge when they came in and out?

If she was really standing in front of the window last night, why didn't she leave any footprints?Could it be that she knows martial arts?

But when I think about it again, I don't think it looks like it.

Once last year, the maid in her house accidentally knocked over the stewpot when she went to the kitchen to serve chicken soup, and the hot soup dripped on Yinger's wrist. people's actions come...

But if she doesn't know martial arts, how could she disappear out of thin air in Prince Rui's residence?What is she trying to do by doing this?

Li Taiwei shook his head, puzzled.

"I heard that Sanlang ordered people to search the entire mansion last night. Except for the Yanyu Building and Hua'an Hall, only the Qiutang Courtyard has not been disturbed. Mother will see if it is better to ask someone to search it as well?"

"If you lost someone in the mansion, you can't run out of the mansion by yourself in the middle of the night..."

Li Shu muttered something.

Li Taiwei's heart skipped a beat:
"Father didn't ask someone to check the Qiutang courtyard last night?"

Li Shu looked at Li Taiwei in surprise, and said puzzledly:
"Of course I checked the outer courtyard, but inside is the residence of your second uncle and brother-in-law. Sister Yao is still a girl's house who has not left the court. How could she be alarmed by a missing shadow in the middle of the night?"

A gleam flashed across Li Taiwei's eyes, and she suddenly thought of something!
"Did you send someone to check when you got up in the morning?"

This...Li Shu didn't know about it, and turned to look at Zhaohe who was on the side.

Showa thought for a moment, then said:
"I heard that Ying'er disappeared. Your father ordered someone to notify your second uncle and first cousin early in the morning. They have searched all over, but they still haven't been found..."

Li Taiwei almost blurted out:

Where is Li Yao?Did you check carefully in her room?

But after thinking about it for a while, there is no evidence for this matter at the moment, how could she involve Li Yao in this matter in front of her grandmother and eldest aunt?

But her intuition told her that if Yinger really did this, she might not be able to accomplish it alone, and there must be someone in the mansion to help her...

Looking at the entire Palace of Prince Rui, only Li Yao is the most suspect now!
But it's not easy for her to say this in front of everyone...

"Nian Xia, come with me to the Qiutang Courtyard, let's go see the Fourth Sister, I heard about what happened last night this morning, and I don't know if she was shocked..."

Li Taiwei didn't want to wait for a moment, she stood up holding the corner of her skirt, and said goodbye to Mrs. Li and her eldest aunt.

Li Shu surprised her for a moment, thinking that she was not willing to take Li Yao to the palace yesterday, Li Yao cried when she came to her.It was she who later gave Li Yao an idea, telling her to ask Mrs. Zhao to take her with her...

How do you think Li Taiwei's impatient look...does he really seem to care about sister Yao?These two children... what kind of sutra is this?

Mrs. Li didn't know about the quarrel between the two sisters yesterday, but when she saw it, she reached out to stop Li Taiwei, and said kindly:
"What are you doing in such a hurry? You child, you were the one who was frightened, and you still know how to care about your fourth younger sister. It's great..."

"But Sister Yao made an agreement with me last night, and went to her grandfather's house early this morning..."

what!
Li Taiwei was shocked!
