On the other side, the old lady seemed a little weak, with her hands resting on the small table on the couch and her eyes also drooping on the table.

"Master, how about we report it to the police?"

Zhang Xuanliang did not respond to Aunt Lin's words. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Xuanyu beside him: "Brother, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Ruomei beside him tugged at his sleeve. Zhang Xuanyu turned his head to look at the old lady on the couch, then looked at Li Ruomei who was giving him a look, and then said, "Let's look for someone privately for another two days."

Li Ruomei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he did not agree.

After hearing this answer, Aunt Lin couldn't stop crying. She stumbled to Zhang Xuanliang, knelt on the ground with weak legs, pulled the robe beside his calf, and said incoherently: "Master, Ning'er, Ning'er is your daughter." Her face was covered with tears. She turned her head suddenly and pointed at Li Ruomei and the others and said: "If something happened to Ning'er, they would not feel sorry."

Seeing Aunt Lin criticizing them, Li Ruomei and the others did not react much. Their expressions were indifferent. Some drank tea, some held their hair, and no one cared what Aunt Lin said.

Aunt Lin looked at their reactions with hatred in her heart. She turned back and looked at Zhang Xuanliang with hope. She wiped her face twice with her sleeves and forced a smile: "Ning'er, Ning'er is a girl, but, she is good-looking. She will definitely marry into a good family in the future. Master, Master, you can also get some help from this."

Aunt Lin's eyes were filled with tears, but she forced a smile on her face: "Master, do you think what I said is right?"

Hearing Aunt Lin's words, Zhang Xuanliang seemed a little embarrassed. He tore the robe away from her hands and said angrily, "What are you talking about! Haven't we been looking for it all along?"

Aunt Lin sat back, a smile on her face, lowered her head and murmured, "I'm looking for it."

At this time, the mistress of the third room, Sun Lan, said calmly, "Why don't you pull your aunt down?"

Hearing the mistress' words, the two maids beside Aunt Lin stepped forward timidly, supported her on the left and right, and walked out of the yard tremblingly.

After Aunt Lin left, Zhang Xuanyu looked up at Zhang Xuanliang and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Third Brother, Yi Ning will definitely be found." As he spoke, he looked at him meaningfully, "What if, what if, Yi Ning is not found, you still have Mingduan and Mingjue. Don't worry, those two children are very smart and will definitely achieve great things in the future."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Xuanyu: "Right, second brother?"

Zhang Xuanjin, who had been silent the whole time, looked up at him and agreed calmly, "Yeah."

Zhang Xuanliang felt relieved when he heard what they said, and smiled widely: "Thank you, big brother, second brother."

Zhang Xuanyu smiled and said, "We are brothers, it's only natural."

Zhang Xuanjin didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhang Xuanliang and smiled.

"old lady!"

Everyone got up and walked towards the old lady when they heard the exclamation. Seeing his mother fainted on the small table, Zhang Xuanyu was shocked and turned to the maid angrily and said, "What are you standing there for? Go get a doctor!"

The maid responded and ran out in panic.

"Bang!"

The courtyard door was pushed open by Ah Ling with great force.

Looking at Ah Ling who was in a hurry, Zhao Shu frowned: "What's wrong?"

Ah Ling gasped and said, "The old lady, the old lady fainted."

Zhao Shu stood up from her chair in a flash and asked anxiously, "How could this happen?"

When Zhao Shu arrived at the old lady's room, everyone in the Zhang residence had already gathered in a circle around the old lady's bed.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the doctor who was checking the old lady's pulse. When the doctor withdrew his hand, Zhang Xuanyu asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my mother?"

The doctor stood up and said respectfully, "The old lady just fainted due to a moment of anger. She is not seriously injured."

"But in the future, you should avoid worrying too much, so as not to hurt your bones."

Zhang Xuanyu was relieved to hear that the old lady was fine. He looked at the doctor and said, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor. We will pay attention to it in the future."

Zhang Xuanyu sent the doctor to the door and handed him a bag of silver. The doctor did not refuse and accepted it generously.

After watching the doctor get on the carriage, he turned around and went back to the old lady.

Zhao Shu, who had been standing at the door of the old lady's room, lowered her eyes and said, "Go back."

On the way, Ah Ling glanced at her daughter and said, "Girl, we have just arrived at the old lady's place, why don't you go over and take a look?"

"I'm glad that grandma is okay." Zhao Shu said lightly.

After the old lady was found to be fine, she left a few maids and servants to serve her, and everyone dispersed.

"Go down to the kitchen and ask someone to prepare a fresh black chicken, ginseng, red dates and angelica. I will go over and make soup for grandma later." After instructing the maid, Zhang Yijing turned around, looked forward, and paused slightly.

But soon he walked over with a smile on his face.

He stood still, looked at the person in front of him, and said with a smile: "It seems that Sister Shu'er is really bored."

Zhao Shu looked a little embarrassed. She took Zhang Yijing's hand like a little girl and shook it gently: "Cousin Yijing."

Zhao Shu led the group forward two steps, but suddenly stopped, tilted her head to look at Zhang Yijing, and asked worriedly, "Cousin, have you been feeling unwell recently?" After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Yijing steadily and said, "You smell like medicine."

"No," Zhang Yijing then picked up her sleeve and sniffed it, then said with a smile, "It really is."

Zhang Yijing seemed to be wondering where the smell of medicine came from. After a while, she smiled and said, "Maybe I got it from my grandmother just now."

"So that's how it is," Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were not feeling well."

Zhang Yijing smiled and said nothing.

The two walked into the house hand in hand, and the sound of talking and laughing gradually rose from the inner room until it got dark, and the sound inside the house stopped. The next morning, Zhao Shu got up early and sat at the table, looking out from time to time.

Seeing the courtyard door being pushed open, Zhao Shu immediately stood up and looked at A Ling who pushed the door open.

Ah Ling walked quickly towards Zhao Shu and whispered something in her ear.

Outside Zhang's house, a carriage had just left the house, and then another carriage drove out.

Zhao Shu stuck her head out of the carriage and looked around. The route was getting further and further away from the city center, and judging from the direction, it seemed to be heading up the mountain.

But after a while the carriage stopped, and the driver said respectfully through the curtain: "Miss, the carriage in front has stopped at the cliff."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu lifted the curtain, got off the carriage, told the driver to wait here, and she walked towards the cliff.

Zhao Shu hid behind a thick tree, about ten meters away from the cliff.

There stood a graceful girl on the cliff, but her appearance could not be seen clearly because she was wearing a veil.

At this time, a person got off the carriage. It was Zhang Yijing, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yijing came to the woman wearing a veil, took her hand, and said something to her with a worried look.

After Zhang Yijing finished speaking, the woman wearing the veil shook her hand away. Due to the big movement, a corner of the veil was lifted up, revealing one-third of the woman's face. Before anyone could take a closer look, the veil fell down again, covering the woman's face tightly.

Zhao Shu carefully retracted her head. Although the woman's face was not completely exposed, judging from her figure and the one-third of her profile that was accidentally exposed, she looked a bit like Zhang Yining.

The woman seemed a little impatient and turned to leave. Seeing that persuasion was futile, Zhang Yijing could only watch her leave helplessly.

Zhao Shu watched the woman about to leave, and thought quickly in her mind: should she follow "Zhang Yining" to find her current residence, and then go back home to tell her uncle and the others, or should she call the coachman now to knock her out and drag her back?
Is Zhang Yining's baby still in her belly?

A second later, Zhao Shu nodded to herself. Well, it would be better to follow her to her residence and then ask her uncle and others to kidnap her.

Zhao Shu shrank her body and walked back step by step.

"Cousin Shuer!"

Zhao Shu paused, straightened up, turned around with a smile, and waved her hand stiffly: "What a coincidence, cousin Yi Jing."

"Shu'er, why are you here?" Zhang Yijing asked in surprise.

"Hehe." Zhao Shu laughed twice and said awkwardly, "I was just passing by."

The woman wearing the veil hat stopped walking and looked straight at Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu also looked back, but because the woman was wearing a veil, Zhao Shu couldn't see her expression clearly.

Zhao Shu looked at the woman with a strange look in her eyes, then walked towards Zhang Yijing with a smile and said angrily, "My cousin went out to play with her friends, but she didn't even invite me."

Seeing that Zhao Shu looked the same, Zhang Yijing heaved a sigh of relief and smiled back, "I was inconsiderate. I will definitely bring my cousin with me next time."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in the veil suddenly turned around and ran away.

Zhao Shu was caught off guard by this action. She didn't have time to think and chased after him.

Fortunately, the woman was not running fast, and Zhao Shu quickly came to her side and pulled her wrist to stop her.

"you"

The woman couldn't tear Zhao Shu's hand away, so she turned to Zhang Yijing and said angrily: "Big sister, you betrayed me!"

Zhao Shu frowned at the voice, but the current situation did not allow her to think too much, because the woman's strength suddenly increased for some reason, and she dragged Zhao Shu away.

Zhao Shu looked at the road on both sides of her feet and frowned. How did she get to the edge of the cliff?

The woman took advantage of Zhao Shu's distraction and exerted force to break free from Zhao Shu's hand, and her eyes suddenly looked behind Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu always felt something was odd in her heart, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She looked at the woman in front of her, who was less than a centimeter away from her. She frowned tightly and instinctively wanted to take a step back.

But before she could move, the woman suddenly fell towards the cliff behind her.

Two shrill female voices sounded behind Zhao Shu.

"Yining!"

"Yining!"

Zhao Shu instinctively reached out to grab it, but it was too late, and her fingers only barely touched the corner of her clothes.

But in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared from sight.
