This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 224 Sister is Missing
The room was dark.

Su Qingling had just led him into the room when there was a sudden knock on the door downstairs.

Then, Xiaohuan's anxious voice came: "Young Master! Young Master!"

Luo Zijun's face changed, and he immediately said: "Senior Sister, let go quickly, something might have happened at home!"

Su Qingling let go of her hand.

Luo Zijun hurried out of the room and went downstairs.

He had told Xiaohuan before that if he was not at home and there was any emergency at home, she should come here to find him.

It's late at night now, and that girl came here suddenly. Something must have happened.

"Squeak..."

The store door opens.

When Xiao Huan saw him, she cried, "My wife is missing. She went out this afternoon and hasn't come back yet."

Luo Zijun was startled: "My sister?"

Xiao Huan said: "Well, the Su State Mansion sent someone to inform us. The master has already taken people out to look for it, but they haven't found it yet..."

"Go! Talk as you go!"

Luo Zijun pulled her up and walked out the door.

On the street, there was a carriage from the Anguo Mansion waiting there.

The two of them got into the carriage immediately.

Xiaohuan only received the news in the evening and didn't know much.

Along the way, Luo Zijun's hands were shaking.

My sister would never go out and not come back so late for no reason. They don’t have any other relatives in Lin’an City. The only possibility is that something happened to her.

Thinking of what happened when they first met last time, he became more and more frightened.

The carriage quickly returned to Anguo Mansion.

Bai Qingtong came over to comfort him, "We have sent people out to look for him. Both the outer and inner cities are looking for him. Dad has also notified the patrol teams in the outer and inner cities to help with the search. However, there is no news yet."

Luo Zijun's expression changed.

After a while, he suddenly said in a cold voice: "I'm going to the Jia Mansion."

If something happened to my sister, the person most likely to be suspected would naturally be Lai Da from the Jia family.

Even if he couldn't find any evidence there now, he still had to go and take a look. He couldn't just do nothing and wait at home.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go with you."

Bai Qingtong followed without any hesitation.

Just as the two of them were about to get on the carriage, a guard suddenly came back on horseback and reported, "Miss Third, the person has been found. Guard Li is on his way back with his wife."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Zijun was immediately delighted, and then hurriedly asked: "How is the person? Is he injured?"

The guard said: "The man just fainted, nothing serious."

Luo Zijun's expression changed, and he asked again: "Do you know where it was found?"

The guard thought for a moment and said, "It's in an alley on Yangliu Street in the outer city. The alley is called..."

"Spring Breeze Lane?"

Luo Zijun's face suddenly turned pale and his voice trembled a little.

The guard's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, it's Chunfeng Lane."

Then he asked in confusion: "How did Master Luo know this?"

Luo Zijun did not speak again. He slowly clenched his fists in his sleeves, his eyes gradually turned red, and there was fear and hatred in his eyes.

How did he know?
Because my sister, who was pregnant, was beaten up by Lai Da's men in that alley, causing the death of her baby in her belly...

Tonight, my sister got into trouble there again.

Obviously, the other party was warning him!

Not long after.

A group of guards escorted a carriage, which drove in from the street outside and stopped at the gate of Anguo Mansion.

The car curtain opened, and Li Zhengshan supported Luo Jiaorong and got out of the car.

Luo Zijun immediately went up to her and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, how are you?"

Luo Jiaorong forced a smile on her face and consoled him, "I'm fine, don't worry, I was just knocked unconscious."

Li Zhengshan also said: "Zijun, it's nothing serious. She might have been robbed. Your sister was not injured except for a hit on the head."

Luo Zijun looked at him and nodded without asking any more questions. He reached out and helped his sister get off the carriage, saying, "I'll take you back."

Li Zhengshan nodded, then bowed to Bai Qingtong and said, "Third Miss, thank you very much for tonight. Thank you for troubling you."

Bai Qingtong said, "We are family, no need to be polite, take sister back to rest."

Then he ordered the others, "Everyone else, go away."

Luo Zijun and Li Zhengshan helped Luo Jiaorong back to Suguo Mansion.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Zhengshan closed the door, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Zijun, guess where I found your sister?"

Luo Jiaorong quickly stopped him with a trembling voice: "Zhengshan, stop talking."

Li Zhengshan said angrily: "Zijun has grown up, what can't be said?"

Luo Zijun's face had regained its composure, and she said, "Sister and brother-in-law, I already know everything. Yangliu Street, Chunfeng Lane, that's where my sister got into trouble."

Luo Jiaorong's eyes turned red, and her eyes were full of tears. She choked up and said, "It's my fault... I shouldn't have trusted others so easily..."

Luo Zijun asked, "What happened? Sister, tell me." Luo Jiaorong wiped her tears and said, "Today during the day, I went out to buy things and met an old woman. She took the initiative to greet me and said she knew me. She also mentioned some of our neighbors, and then said that your aunt Lanhua had suddenly passed away and was holding a memorial service today, and invited me to burn some paper. I remembered that I had a good relationship with your aunt Lanhua, so I got on the carriage with her..."

"After getting off the carriage, she asked me to wait for a while on the street while she went to buy something, and then she disappeared. At this time, someone approached me, I smelled a fragrance, and then I fainted... When I woke up, I saw your brother-in-law..."

"It was then that I realized I was lying in a pile of garbage in Chunfeng Lane..."

Having said this, she suddenly coughed a few times, covered her stomach, and with a "wow" sound, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Zijun was startled and asked hurriedly: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Jiaorong shook her head and comforted her: "I...I'm fine."

Li Zhengshan said with red eyes: "Your sister was... kicked hard in the stomach again. Lai Da, it must be that beast Lai Da!"

The muscles on Luo Zijun's face twitched. He tried his best to calm his emotions. He held his sister's hand and took her pulse.

Luo Jiaorong smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing serious. I went to see a doctor on the way back just now. He said that I would be fine after taking some medicine and resting for half a month."

Luo Zijun let go of her hand and said nothing more.

Li Zhengshan's face turned pale, his body was shaking, and his eyes were red with anger.

Luo Zijun comforted him softly, "Brother-in-law, it's okay. I will ask Master tomorrow to help me get some elixirs. Master knows a master of alchemy who should be able to prescribe the right medicine for you."

Li Zhengshan had tears in his eyes and said nothing more.

Luo Zijun comforted her a few more words, asked her sister to go back to her room and rest early, and then said goodbye and left.

After leaving the courtyard, his face became extremely gloomy and terrifying.

His sister hasn't gotten pregnant in so many years, and he suspected that it was related to the miscarriage caused by the attack. Tonight, she was kicked hard in the stomach, causing intracavitary bleeding. He was afraid that she would never be able to get pregnant again...

He must avenge this blood feud!
After returning to Anguo Mansion, Bai Qingtong went to Junziju again and talked with him for a while, telling him that if her sister went out again in the future, she would be followed by guards.

After thanking her, Luo Zijun asked her to help check all the Lai family's assets.

Bai Qingtong agreed and left.

Luo Zijun was alone in the courtyard thinking about something. Xiaohuan and Zhiyuan were standing in the corridor, not daring to disturb her.

The small door on the wall opened. When Fanfen was about to come over, she saw the looks in Xiaohuan and Zhiyuan's eyes, so she had to leave and quietly closed the small door.

Luo Zijun stayed in the courtyard for a while and then returned to his room.

He first practiced internal skills for an hour, then his spirit left his body and he continued to practice his spirit.

Now that his spirit was a little stronger, he no longer possessed the black cat to practice, but practiced on his own.

This way, the soul power is consumed faster and the time of leaving the body is shorter, but the effect is also better.

As he was bathing in the moonlight on the roof and feeling the cold wind tempering his soul, he suddenly saw a familiar white shadow appear in the garden behind him.

The spirit that often possesses the white cat!
Luo Zijun floated over immediately.

However, when he arrived at the garden, he suddenly found that the white shadow had mysteriously disappeared.

I just saw him clearly in the garden and he didn't leave.

He could see everything, whether it was passing through the wall or leaving over the wall.

He was confused and looked around.

But after searching the entire garden, there was no sign of the other person.

His eyes suddenly looked towards the ground.

It won’t burrow into the ground, will it?

This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and then he tried to dive underground, but there seemed to be a powerful barrier on the ground that prevented him from going in.

Strange, where did that white shadow go?
He tried a few more times, but had to give up. He looked around again, and without wasting any more time, he flew over the courtyard wall and left to continue his practice.

at the same time.

The white shadow had already drilled into the ground, walked across the stone bridge again, and entered the ghost world.

The next day.

Luo Zijun got up early, washed up, and went out.

As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I saw Miss Bai San, wearing a green dress and bringing Huaer, waiting outside.

"Brother-in-law, are you going to the Jia Mansion? I told you last time that I would go with you."

Bai Qingtong smiled slightly.

Luo Zijun glanced at her and did not refuse, saying: "Miss San, please accompany me. You don't need to say anything or do anything. I just want to talk to Lai Da alone."

Bai Qingtong looked at him with complicated eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay."

The two of them went out together.

Apart from Hua'er, there was no other guards.

The carriage was already waiting outside.

The two got on the carriage and said nothing along the way.

When they arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Bai Qingtong couldn't help but say, "Brother-in-law, there is no evidence for what happened last night. Brother-in-law, remember to hold back for now."

Luo Zijun smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Third Miss, I'm not that impulsive. After all, this is the Duke's Mansion, and after all, the Imperial Concubine is there to protect us."

Bai Qingtong said nothing more.

The two of them got off the carriage together and walked up the steps of Rongguo Mansion.

A servant had already seen the Bai Mansion's carriage and had hurried in to report.

Not long after.

Jia Tanchun brought people out to greet them.
