Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 236 Being a Mother is Strong
It had been a day and a night since Gu Qingyou disappeared, and the soldiers sent out had not brought back any news. Xue Lan almost grew old overnight.

The cheeks that had always been bright and moist were now dull, and her heart had already flown out, hoping to find traces of her daughter soon.

Meng Yan didn't know that there were secret guards around Youyou, so the ones he sent out were just ordinary thugs. In that case, where were the secret guards who protected Yuyou?
Logically speaking, since he was ordered to protect Yuyou, unless Hengye ordered him, he would not leave Yuyou even if he died. The only reason is that he was trapped by someone!
But who could be the person who could hold him back? Who could it be?
Xue Lan mentally checked the enemies of the Duke's Mansion. There were actually very few in the entire capital, and there were even fewer people with the strength to trap the secret guards sent by Hengye. Not to mention others, I'm afraid even Meng Yan Neither can be done.

...Could it come from the palace?
After thinking about it for a long time, I figured out that I had an affair with Concubine Sui at the previous tea party. Speaking of that incident, there was someone else behind the scenes. It couldn't be the emperor and the queen, right?

"Aunt! Do you believe that my nephew really just wants to scare Miss Gu? I didn't know that things would turn out like this!"

After Meng Yan was brought under control, he had already sent people with his soldiers to the outskirts of Beijing under Xue Lan's cannibalistic gaze, but those who came back reported that the place had been reduced to ashes, and there was no trace of a human being at all.

No one can be seen alive, and no body can be seen dead. Could it be that he can disappear out of thin air? ? ?

"Come here and take Mr. Meng back to his home."

"What? Mother just let him go like this?!"

Song Chengye, who came after hearing the news, heard this sentence when he entered the door. When he saw Meng Yan who was tied to the ground, he went up and kicked him in the chest, grabbed his collar and shook him: "You bastard, where are you hiding Yuyou?" !”

Meng Yan was in a panic. He was unable to resist at the moment. He was afraid that Song Chengye's attack would not be serious. He begged for mercy again and again: "Brother Song, please spare your life! I really don't know about it!"

Xue Lan didn't expect that he would come out to make trouble again halfway. She had a headache for a moment. She waved to the people behind her, and soon someone stepped forward and knocked Song Chengye unconscious.

"...Madam, would you like to help Mr. Marquis to rest first?"

Zhang Yong had been silent all day, and now he saw that Xue Lan had even attacked Song Chengye, and he became even more confused.

Xue Lan glanced at him coldly and said softly: "No need, I just neglected Mr. Meng, and later I will ask the Marquis to personally send him back to the Meng family to make amends."

Meng Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and stood up hurriedly and said: "Madam, don't worry, when we go back, my nephew will definitely find those losers and cut off their hands and feet himself!"

In fact, he was also murmuring in his heart. He had clearly confessed before that he only tied Gu Qingyou to the mountain to scare him. Now not only Gu Qingyou is missing, but his subordinates are also missing. Could it be that they took him away secretly because of sexual desire? Did he run away with Gu Qingyou?
Thinking of how daring these dog slaves were to make him suffer here, he was so angry that he immediately cut them to pieces to vent his anger.

Who wants to be happy too early? Xue Lan glanced behind him, and Meng Yan felt a pain in his neck and fell unconscious.

"Find a servant of similar stature to change his clothes and send the prince back to the Meng family!"

Meng Yan fainted, and Xue Lan finally put aside his identity and stepped forward, slapped that disgusting face several times. Zhang Yong was frightened by the slap sound, and then he listened to his master's instructions: "Take off all the clothes of this bastard." , thrown into the dungeon!”

"Dungeon?!"

Zhang Yong glanced around nervously, but luckily all the servants were outside the door. He quickly lowered his voice and reminded: "Madam, please be careful, our house doesn't have any dungeons, it's just a few cellars for storing cabbage in winter~"

Although it is common for officials to set up private dungeons, no one dares to expose it openly. Xue Lan was so angry that she forgot about it. Fortunately, Zhang Yong reminded him in time.

"Don't worry about anything, lock him in first!" Zhang Yong hesitantly looked at the servant who was already pretending to be Meng Yan and said, "What about him?"

Obviously, he was worried that this trick of changing the prince with a civet cat would not work. After all, the Meng family were not stupid. Wouldn't they be recognized at a glance if they sent a fake one back?
Xue Lan snorted coldly: "Send him back to the Meng family. Remember, you have to go back in a grand way!"

After all, Zhang Yong had been in the Duke's Mansion for so many years, so why didn't he understand what she meant? Madam wanted to control the entire Meng family for Miss Gu? !

"Ma'am, please think again!"

Concubine Meng has just come out of the cold palace, and it is hard to say one day she will regain the favor of the Holy Family. Now that the Marquis has gone to the west, and the Marquis's mansion is like a fallen leaf in the wind, how can she compete with the Meng family? !

Cold sweat broke out behind his back, and Zhang Yong spoke out to dissuade him: "I know that Madam is worried about Miss Gu's safety, but..."

But it is really inappropriate to offend the entire Meng family just for her.

Xue Lan stopped Zhang Yong's chatter with a cold look, and then said without comment: "You can go too, I have my own arrangements here."

At that moment, several secret guards disappeared into the night again, and the soldiers of the Duke's Mansion were also ready to go, heading towards the barren mountain that Meng Yan had mentioned.

Gu Qingyou walked along the mountain road. The embroidered shoes on her feet had been damaged many times, and the soft soles had long been worn out. Fortunately, the vegetation was lush in summer. She found some large leaves to cushion the soles of her feet, and then tied them with grass vines, which was not a big deal. Too uncomfortable.

She thought she would encounter a search by Meng Yan's men on the way, but to her surprise, although the mountain road was a little more difficult, it was smooth and no one was encountered at all.

"You're not going to give up just like that?"

Based on her understanding of Meng Yan, she will never give up until she achieves her goal, and she will never let things go like this.

No matter what, you still have to be careful, lest he sends someone to guard the only way back to the city, then he really won't be able to escape.

Gu Qingyou was preoccupied while carefully avoiding the thorns in the forest. Even so, the hem of the light silk skirt was still cut into strips, making her look as embarrassed as she wanted.

She stopped and wanted to pull off the skirt that was in the way, but she was afraid that it would leave clues to the bad guys. As she was holding it and was at a loss, there was a sudden sound of fighting in the woods in front of her. She immediately raised her vigilance, who could it be? ? !

Not daring to act rashly, she quickly found a hiding spot to cover her body, and looked ahead through the gaps in the grass and trees. She heard the sound of the collision of swords and guns getting closer and closer, and several figures slowly emerged. Under the clear sky, one of them actually Wearing night clothes, it is very obvious even in the lush woods.

At this time, he was being surrounded by a group of men in gray. His clothes were torn in many places. He was covering his chest with his left hand and struggling to swing the sword with his right hand. It seemed that he was seriously injured. But still struggling to resist.

The men in gray were not much better. Their clothes were light-colored, and several of them were covered in colors. Their eyes became more and more fierce, and they wanted to kill the men in black immediately.

However, although the man in black was seriously injured, his kung fu was obviously higher than that of the others. Although he staggered a little while moving forward and retreating, he always used the sword flower to stop the others a few meters away.
