The secret guard raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile. Then he suddenly picked up the porcelain and threw it to the ground.

The crackling sound was particularly loud in the silent yard, and successfully woke up the eldest and second eldest children from their sleep.

The boss rubbed his eyes and sat up with a blank look on his face.

He came to the yard and looked at the porcelain fragments on the ground, his eyes filled with astonishment.

When the second child Ye came to the yard, he looked at the secret guard sleepily and asked in confusion: "Who are you? What's going on?"

The secret guard sneered, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes, and said, "You will know soon!"

His face was full of provocation, as if he was waiting for a good show to unfold.

The eldest brother and the second child suddenly thought of something, and they came to Xi Zhicai's room at the same time.

They looked shocked, their faces instantly turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

The boss's eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, and he stammered: "Why is Xi Zhicai missing? What should I do?" His voice was full of panic.

The second child turned blue with fright, clenched his hands into fists, and asked anxiously: "Brother, what on earth is going on? Why did he suddenly disappear?"

The two looked at each other and saw the fear and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

The boss took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He turned to the second brother and said, "Quick, go ask the person outside."

The second child nodded and hurried out.

The eldest and second eldest men staggered out of the room, shock and confusion written on their faces.

The boss frowned, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"What on earth is going on?" There was a hint of trembling in the voice.

The secret guard stood there quietly, his expression calm and firm.

The secret guard looked at the two brothers and spoke slowly: "Mr. Xi Zhicai has been rescued by me, and your other brother has also been drugged by me. He will not wake up until tomorrow."

The boss's eyes widened, he pointed angrily at the secret guard, and roared: "Who are you?"

His chest heaved violently and his face turned red with anger.

The secret guard flashed and quickly came to the boss's side like a ghost. His eyes were cold and murderous.

The boss looked at the suddenly approaching secret guard in horror, with fear written all over his face. He tried to struggle and waved his hands wildly.

The secret guard grabbed the boss's neck tightly and said coldly: "Don't move! If you move again, I can't guarantee what will happen."

His voice was low and cold, chilling.

The second brother was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs were weak, and he said tremblingly: "You...what do you want to do? Let go of my brother!"

The secret guard glared at Lao Er and said sternly: "You all should be honest with me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

At the same time, the secret guard took out a small bottle from his pocket with his right hand, looked at the second brother indifferently, and said expressionlessly: "Take this medicine, or I will kill your brother now."

Lao Er's face turned pale and his body trembled involuntarily.

He stared at the medicine bottle in the secret guard's hand with wide eyes, horrified, and stammered: "This... what kind of medicine is this?"

The corner of the secret guard's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer, and said disdainfully: "Don't care what kind of medicine it is, just take it."

The second child looked at the eldest son lying on the ground, feeling tangled in his heart.

He bit his lip, finally made up his mind, stretched out his hand tremblingly and took the medicine bottle, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

The second child raised his head and swallowed the medicine.

After a while, his body shook a few times, his vision went dark, and he fainted.

When the secret guard saw this, he smiled coldly, reached out and struck the boss on the back of the neck hard. The boss groaned and fainted.

Afterwards, the secret guard looked at the two brothers who had fainted on the ground, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a proud smile.

He turned around and left here quickly, thinking about going back and asking someone to take these three people away.

Xi Yu, who was indoors, was sitting quietly on a chair, closing his eyes.

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. Xiao Hong hurried to the door and said breathlessly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, it's bad! My lady is gone, and she hasn't come back even late at night!"

Her face was full of anxiety and worry.

Xi Yu opened his eyes suddenly, with a surprised expression on his face.

He suddenly stood up and asked eagerly: "What? Linlin is missing? How could this happen?"

Little red tears welled up in her eyes.

Xi Yu's heart suddenly sank, and thoughts flooded into his mind like a tide. He thought to himself, "Is it really because I beat Ouyang Linlin that she was so angry that she ran away from home?" His heart was full of regret and self-blame.

He recalled the scene at that time. He was so emotional because of Xi Zhicai's incident that he impulsively beat Ouyang Linlin.

At this moment, he deeply regretted his actions. Could she, who was originally gentle and kind, have been greatly hurt because of her fault?
Xi Yu's heart was in a mess, and he thought anxiously: "What should I do? If she really runs away from home because she is angry, what if she encounters any danger?" His brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of worry. It's worry and uneasiness.

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Ouyang Linlin would be safe and sound. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that if she came back, he would sincerely apologize to her and pray for her forgiveness.

Xiao Hong frowned, looked at Xi Yu, and asked anxiously: "Xi Yu, what happened?"

Xi Yu looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said what he had done to anger Ouyang Linlin.

After hearing this, Xiao Hong was so angry that she stamped her feet, her face full of anger, and said, "Prime Minister, what you did this time really went too far!"

Xi Yu sighed helplessly and said to Xiao Hong, "Go back and rest. I will definitely find Ouyang Linlin."

Xiaohong shook her head firmly, with stubbornness in her eyes, and said, "If I can't find Miss, I won't leave!"

Xi Yu looked at Xiao Hong's determined expression and had no choice but to let her stay.

Just then, several soldiers came over surrounded by Xi Zhicai.

Although Xi Zhicai's face looked tired, his eyes shone with joy.

When Xi Yu saw Xi Zhicai, he immediately rushed forward and hugged him tightly.

There was excitement and guilt in his voice: "Brother, you have suffered!"

When Xiaohong saw Xi Zhicai, she missed the young lady even more. Her eyes were full of resentment, and she was full of hatred for both brothers.

She gritted her teeth, stamped her feet, turned around and left angrily.

Xi Yu let go of Xi Zhicai, and then asked him about the specific process.

Xi Zhicai slowly told the relevant matters, with a hint of fatigue and worry on his face.

After hearing this, Xi Yu sighed softly, his eyes full of concern and remorse, and said, "I will definitely send someone to secretly protect my brother from now on. I hope my brother will not refuse."

Xi Zhicai looked at Xi Yu, showed a warm smile, nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Xi Yu only agreed after seeing Xi Zhi. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, you should rest quickly. After all, you are already frightened."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered his servants: "Hurry up and arrange the guest rooms."

Xi Zhicai nodded slightly, with a look of exhaustion on his face, and slowly walked towards the guest room under the guidance of the servant.

Xi Yu stood there, looking at Xi Zhicai's back, his eyes full of worry and reluctance.

Afterwards, Xi Yu quickly sent people outside to look for Ouyang Linlin.

Xi Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he discovered that Xiao Hong was missing.

He frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Are you angry with me?"

With a trace of doubt in his heart, Xi Yu hurried to Ouyang Linlin's room, only to find that Xiaohong was not there.

His face became anxious, and he thought angrily: "This girl is too willful to leave privately! Ouyang Linlin disappeared, and she also left with her. Isn't this causing trouble for me? What should I do? …”

Finally, he decided to go out and look for it.

Xiaohong had an angry look on her face and ran quickly because of her anger. She soon arrived at the door of Ouyang Mansion.

She stood there with a hint of melancholy and loss in her eyes.

She remembered that after Ouyang Fu's death, the entire Ouyang Mansion seemed to have lost its vitality. Although there were still servants living there, it was just a place for Ouyang Linlin to stay when she returned home.

She stood at the door, her thoughts gradually drifting away, recalling every bit of her time here before the young lady got married, as if those happy times were still in front of her.

But now things have changed and people have changed, which makes her feel a sense of sadness and sadness.

Xiaohong came to the door of Ouyang Mansion, raised her hand and knocked hard on the door.

The concierge opened the door and saw Xiao Hong, with a surprised look on his face.

Xiao Hong frowned slightly and said with a somewhat sad expression: "I'm not in a good mood and I want to stay here tonight."

The concierge asked doubtfully: "What about Miss Ouyang Linlin?" Xiaohong lowered her head and said softly: "The miss is missing."

When the concierge heard this, he was immediately shocked, his mouth opened wide and his eyes widened.

Xiaohong explained the matter briefly.

Finally, the concierge let Xiaohong stay.

After Xiaohong settled down, she told the concierge: "If Xiyu comes to see me, you must tell him that you haven't seen me. Of course, he may not come to me, and he may not be able to find me here."

After saying that, a complicated expression flashed across her face, including helplessness, melancholy, and a hint of expectation.

Xiaohong arrived at her former room, closed the door gently, leaned against the door and slowly slid down, sitting on the bed.

Her eyes wandered, and her thoughts drifted back to her previous life.

At that time, the Ouyang Mansion was full of laughter and laughter, the young lady and her were intimate, and everything was so beautiful.

But now, things have changed and the lady has disappeared.

She also felt lonely and helpless, and her heart was filled with nostalgia for the past and confusion about the future.

Xi Yu walked down the street in despair, the hustle and bustle around him seemed to have nothing to do with him.

He looked at the bustling crowd, feeling overwhelmed.

All kinds of terrible fantasies kept popping up in his mind, worrying about what danger Xiaohong would encounter.

He felt like his heart was clenching, and every thought made him feel extremely anxious.

Suddenly, Xi Yu saw a little girl who looked very much like Xiao Hong. She was running, and a man was chasing her with a wooden stick.

Xi Yu's heart tightened and she immediately rushed to accuse the man. After the man caught up with the woman, Xi Yu discovered that the woman was not Xiao Hong.

But he still frowned and asked the man what he wanted to do.

The man gasped and said, "This woman is my maid. She ran away privately. I must catch her back."

The woman lowered her head and admitted this.

Xi Yu sighed helplessly, knowing that he could no longer deal with this matter.

Xi Yu searched for a long time on several streets, but couldn't see Xiao Hong. He was very anxious.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, would Xiaohong go to Ouyang Mansion?
He couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

Xi Yu came to the door of Ouyang Mansion and looked at the familiar door with a lot of emotions in his heart.

He recalled the process of asking Ouyang Fu to make a bicycle. At that time, everyone was full of enthusiasm and expectations.

But now that Ouyang Fu has passed away, everything has become so different. Things have really changed.

There was a melancholy look on his face, and his eyes were full of loneliness and sadness. He sighed softly and said to himself: "Oh, things are so unpredictable..."

Then, he calmed down and knocked on the door, preparing to ask the concierge for news about Xiao Hong.

When the concierge opened the door and saw Xi Yu, he was stunned and thought to himself: It turns out that Xiao Hong's guess was correct.

He quickly saluted Xi Yu.

"I pay my respects to the Prime Minister."

Xi Yu waved his hand to excuse him.

The concierge pretended to be confused and asked: "Prime Minister, why are you here so late?"

Xi Yu looked at the concierge, frowning slightly, with a look of confusion and eagerness on his face, and said, "I'm here to see Xiaohong, is she there?"

The concierge's eyes flickered, showing an awkward smile, and said: "This... Xiaohong is not here, Prime Minister. Isn't she always in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Xi Yu's frown deepened. He stared at the concierge with a hint of doubt in his eyes and said, "Is he really not here? Don't lie to me."

The porter lowered his head, not daring to look at Xi Yu, and muttered: "I'm really not here, I don't dare to deceive the Prime Minister..."

Xi Yu sighed deeply, his face full of regret and self-blame.

He looked at the concierge and said, "Oh, it's all my fault. Because I was anxious, I beat Ouyang Linlin, which caused her to disappear. I probably offended Xiaohong too, and she disappeared too."

His eyes were dull and his brows were furrowed tightly, as if there was a heavy burden on his heart.

When the concierge heard this, he deliberately showed a surprised expression and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it back and just looked at Xi Yu sympathetically.

Xi Yu turned around in despair and planned to leave Ouyang Mansion. The concierge looked at his back, feeling a little uncomfortable, with a look of guilt on his face.

The porter thought to himself: "Oh, I lied to the Prime Minister, and I really feel uneasy about my conscience."

After a while, Xiaohong suddenly appeared. She couldn't sleep either, so she came to the concierge.

When the concierge saw Xiao Hong, he said with relief: "Xiao Hong, the Prime Minister is indeed here, and I did as you asked."

Xiaohong frowned slightly, a complicated expression flashed across her face, and said, "Yes, I understand."

The porter looked at Xiao Hong and said softly: "Xiao Hong, it's better to go back. Don't let the Prime Minister worry too much."

When Xiaohong heard this, she pouted and said with an unhappy face: "I'm not going back! If it weren't for him, how could the lady be missing? So it's right to make him anxious!" Her eyes widened. , full of stubborn expression.

The concierge sighed helplessly, feeling a little uncomfortable looking at Xiaohong's appearance.

He knew that Xiaohong was angry, but he didn't know how to persuade her.

Xi Yu dragged his tired body and slowly walked towards home.

The cold moonlight shone on him, stretching his figure very long.

He walked in despair, feeling that his whole person was enveloped in a deep sense of loss.

Ouyang Linlin's gentle voice seemed to keep floating in his ears, whispering to him to get some rest early.

He couldn't help but stop and turned around, expecting to see Ouyang Linlin.

However, upon closer inspection, Ouyang Linlin was not around at all.

A burst of melancholy surged into his heart, his eyes became dim, and his heart was filled with sadness and longing.

The surrounding environment also seemed particularly quiet, with only the sound of the breeze blowing, which seemed to reflect his lonely state of mind at the moment.

Tonight, Xi Yu was supposed to go to Xi Shi's room to rest, but Xi Shi kept waiting for him but never came.

Xi Shi was a little anxious, so she took the initiative to come to Xi Yu's room.

She looked at Xi Yu and asked with concern and doubt on her face: "Husband, why haven't you come to my room to rest?"

Xi Yu showed a wry smile and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I left you out in the cold."

He took a deep breath and continued: "Ouyang Linlin is missing. I have been worried about her."

Xi Shi frowned slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "How could this happen? Then you have to find her quickly."

There was a trace of distress and worry in her eyes.

Xi Yu looked at Xi Shi, his face full of exhaustion and helplessness. He said, "I have sent people to look for her. Now I'd better satisfy you first and go to your room."

Xi Shi lowered his head slightly, frowned slightly, showing a trace of hesitation, and said, "Isn't this bad?"

Xi Yu gently held Xi Shi's hand and said firmly, "It's no use just waiting. You can't just do nothing."

Xi Shi raised her head and looked at Xi Yu, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go."

But after all, she still cared about Ouyang Linlin in her heart, so Xi Yu couldn't let go completely.

Therefore, Xi Shi also discovered that Xi Yu was not in good condition at all tonight.

"Husband, it's late at night, let's get some rest quickly," Xi Shi said.

Only then did Xi Yu learn that he had neglected her.

"Sorry, I was distracted."

Next, Xiyu became a little more normal.

Soon, the next day came. Xiyu got up, still feeling a little melancholy.

"Okay, I have to go back."

Xi Shi understood. After all, Xi Yu paid attention to Ouyang Linlin.

Xiyu returned to the room.

He hoped that the soldiers would report the good news that Ouyang Linlin had been found.
