Grudge Breaker

Chapter 297: Searching for the trace
"Missing? Are you saying that Mianmian disappeared in her room?"

"Dujuan is dead?!"

Zhuang Yuheng and Song Weichen were both surprised by Mei Niang's words and asked almost at the same time.

Mei Niang was about to cry, but seeing that Song Weichen looked unfamiliar and asked about the life and death of a maid, she thought she was a new maid consul in Sikong Mansion, so she swallowed her words and looked at Zhuang Yuheng with a pleading look on her face. The meaning was obvious - could the irrelevant people be allowed to leave first?
"Mei Niang, there are no outsiders here."

Zhuang Yuheng even took the initiative to take another step closer to Song Weichen, "She can hear everything I can hear."

"Yes Yes."

Mei Niang responded, then glanced at Song Weichen quickly and cautiously, and finally spoke.

"My dear cousin, the young lady's disappearance this time is definitely not ordinary. It is really very strange."

"As the sun was setting, the young lady didn't make any movement. I was really worried, so I called the steward to open the door. Only then did I find that the young lady was missing! Nothing was missing from the room, but there was a trail of footprints on the floor that stretched all the way to the table. They were as black as if they were stepped on by the bottom of a pot."

"The most frightening thing is that there is a red silk hanging on the main beam above the table, like... like something used for hanging."

When Mei Niang said this, she tremblingly took out a piece of silk handkerchief from her bosom, which was faintly stained with blood.

She unfolded it carefully and saw a strange symbol painted in blood on the brocade handkerchief - it was the rune on Du Juan's ankle, but Zhuang Yuheng and Song Weichen had never seen it and did not know it.

"This is the handkerchief that the young lady carried with her, hanging on the red silk tail. This old servant knows a little bit about magic, and I have tested the blood on it. Yes, it is definitely the young lady's... Lord Sikong! Young Master! The young lady must have been in trouble, please save her!"

Mei Niang held the handkerchief high in front of Zhuang Yuheng, then knelt down again with a plop.

"This matter is of great importance. The mistress ordered me to come and invite you over. The master has also sent his confidant to invite Lord Si Chen. The young lady's life is in danger. Lord Si Kong, please follow me immediately!"

When Zhuang Yuheng saw the bloody handkerchief, his face changed and he quickly took it to examine it.

Taking advantage of this moment, Song Weichen walked closer to Mei Niang. She knew that the person in front of her would not care about the life or death of a little girl, but she still asked,
"You just said that Du Juan was dead. It was most likely Ruan Mianmian who did it. Is it possible that all the strange things you saw in the room were false illusions, and she did it on purpose to escape the guilt of murder?"

"You are so insolent, girl!"

Mei Niang glared at Song Weichen fiercely. If Zhuang Yuheng had not been nearby and the situation was urgent, she would have torn the wild girl's mouth apart.

"Alas! Who are you to dare to make such a accusation? If it weren't for the fact that you are from my cousin's family, I would definitely send you to the government office just for your nonsense and slandering my young lady!"

She turned to look at Zhuang Yuheng, and immediately her expression became pleading.
"Master, outsiders may not know, but you know that Miss has been kind since she was a child. She would not even step on an ant to death, so how could she possibly hurt someone's life?"

"Besides, that girl Du Juan died in Si Chen's mansion. I heard that she deliberately wore red and hanged herself in the young lady's room while she was attending the eldest princess' banquet. It's obvious that she wanted to turn into a ghost to collect debts!"

"The young lady's disappearance must be related to this damned girl. The red silk hanging in the young lady's room is the best proof! Cousin, there is no time to delay, please go and save the young lady!"

……

Zhuang Yuheng originally thought that Ruan Mianmian was playing some trick of crying wolf again, but the bloody handkerchief made his heart wrench in his throat, because it was indeed her blood.

What Mei Niang said was true, something must have happened to Ruan Mianmian!

He put the blood-stained handkerchief into his inner pocket. Even though she had many faults, she was still his cousin, the only precious girl in the entire Zhuang family and the in-laws' clan. He could never sit idly by.

"Mei Niang, you go ahead and protect the scene so that no one else can touch it. I'll quickly get ready and be there soon."

Reassured, Huamei bowed solemnly, "Yes! I kneel on behalf of the young lady and the mistress to thank the young master for his kindness!"

Then he disappeared in a flash, showing his great skills.
.
"Qingyun, go to the medicine room immediately to get my bag and prepare the flying chariot."

Qingyun took the order and left. The night returned to silence, but he and Song Weichen no longer had the leisure time they had before. Zhuang Yuheng could not hide his anxious look.

"Weiwei, I'll take you back to the Marrow Washing Hall to rest. Qingyun will take care of you while I'm away..."

"I will go with you."

Before he could finish, Song Weichen interrupted him. She took out the puppet control and summoned the guinea pig and its electric scooter from the puppet control virtual world. Driving the puppet illusion fetus would consume the puppet control energy. Recently, she had no chance to go out and absorb the remaining puppet energy, so she was usually reluctant to use it, but she couldn't take care of it now.

……

"Aloha! Big sister, long time no see~"

As soon as the little pig showed his face, he stretched out his pair of fat short arms and flew over to pounce, but was pushed back onto the armrest of the scooter by Song Weichen.

"Xiao Biezhi, I don't have time to chat with you. Go back to Wuqingju as quickly as possible to get the white robe for me. Make sure you meet us before the flying chariot arrives at Ruan Mansion."

When he heard there was a task, Little Meatball got excited.
"Okay! Big sister, just wait and see. I'm SF Express and I'll accomplish my mission~"

The little guinea pig kicked its chubby legs to turn the scooter around, and was about to leave when suddenly its little black eyes rolled around and it looked back at Song Weichen with a vigilant look.

"That's not right, big sister. I just heard that daddy would go to Aunt Mei's house. Why didn't you ask him to bring him to you? Why did you make me go there specially?"

Song Weichen's face turned dark and he grabbed the little guinea pig's fat face.

"Hurry up and go! If you keep complaining, you'll have to live alone with your father. Our friendship will be in tatters!"

“Hey, hey, hey, the balloon is inflated, tututu! Brother is dead!”

The little pig was pulled so hard that it couldn't speak clearly. It could only wave its little paws to beg for mercy. Song Weichen let it go, and without looking back, he pulled Zhuang Yuheng away.

She knew where the flying chariot was parked in Sikong Mansion. Song Weichen was no calmer than Zhuang Yuheng now. What happened after she fainted at the forest banquet? Why did Du Juan commit suicide? She finally saved her life, so why did she take the initiative to die?

Why did Ruan Mianmian disappear? Could it be that after Du Juan died, she really had the ability to deal with living people?

Song Weichen had too many questions in her mind. She intuitively felt that many things had happened in Si Chen Mansion after she left. She was eager to know what had happened, but she was unwilling to look for Mo Tingfeng - she would never use the name summoning ban on him again, and she didn't even want to see him again.

She didn't know yet that Xiao'an was killed by Dujuan. Song Weichen now only wanted to seek justice for the dead Xiao'an and Dujuan. Maluo's life is also a life. Why are some people's lives more important while some others are not worth mentioning?
Since Zhuang Yuheng left for Ruan Mianmian, then she, Song Weichen, would leave for Du Juan!

……

In fact, this was a bit high-sounding. Song Weichen herself knew that she was upset because of the matter between Qin Xueying and Mo Tingfeng. It was easy for her to have wild thoughts if she was alone, so she wanted to go with Zhuang Yuheng.

Now she urgently needs to focus on "work" so that she won't get stuck in emotional dead ends.
.
The flying chariot soared into the air and headed towards Ruan's mansion like a bow.

Taking advantage of the time on the road, Zhuang Yuheng gave Song Weichen another injection. He actually didn't want her to travel with him.

"Weiwei, your body can't take any more risks. I may not be able to take care of you on this trip. What if..."

"Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to me. When I get to the Ruan Mansion, I will be the white robe of the Si Chen Mansion. I will investigate the case while you look for people. Don't be distracted by me."

Zhuang Yuheng knew that he couldn't win the argument, so he could only silently pinch her wrist and inject some magic power from the Shenmen acupoint to protect her heart meridian.

"I'm sorry Weiwei, I know Mianmian feels guilty towards you, but she is my cousin after all, and I have to save her life no matter what."

Song Weichen felt sad for no reason and even blamed himself severely - what did she do to Zhuang Yuheng, did she unconsciously PUA him? He actually apologized to her for saving his cousin?

Song Weichen, are you a devil?
……

"Brother Yuheng, if it weren't for you, I would have died countless times. Even if the whole world betrays me, you are the only one who doesn't need to say sorry."

"Ruan Mianmian did something wrong and deserves to be punished and change her ways, but death is not an option. No life should be despised. If she has hurt me before, I will be happy to see her die. What is the difference between her and me?"

Song Weichen was rarely serious.

"What I am more concerned about now is what happened in Si Chen Mansion? Since Du Juan hanged herself, why did she appear in Ruan Mian Mian's boudoir? Is it the real Du Juan, or someone else?"

"What I am more concerned about now is that looking at Mei Niang's skills, I know that there are hidden talents in the Ruan Mansion. In a place like this, how could Ruan Mianmian disappear out of thin air? Even if Du Juan came back to life, she can't have such a skill."

"So, is it possible that Ruan Mianmian is still in the mansion, but for some reason no one can see her?"
