Chapter 866 - 187: A Generous Gift_2
Jiujiu was lost, and she frantically turned Taiping Town upside down. If she didn’t search for the missing young master and his parents arrived, how would she explain herself!?
Seated calmly at home, Pei Qin acted as if Xiao Yi had never visited. With Jiujiu and Xixi, they ate and slept as usual.
Every day, Old Scholar Fang came over to ask about the situation. Hearing there was still no news, he grew so anxious he felt like burning up. "Qinqin, you are also of the Third Rank, can’t you mobilize troops to search? If he’s not found, perhaps message should be sent to Prince He Qing to have his men search!?" A prince was lost on their watch—could it be that someone was plotting their annihilation!?
Old Scholar Fang pondered over this issue daily, and if someone truly meant to decimate them, the problem evidently lay with Mo Heng! Having left the Mo family with a vendetta, and since the Mo family held power, they had tried to harm others repeatedly, with destructive consequences!
Now filled with regret, Old Scholar Fang wished he had opposed the match with his life at the start, so as not to have Pei Qin marry Mo Heng! Even finding anyone in Yuanyang County would have sufficed, not seeking wealth or grandeur, just a peaceful family life!
"As long as he’s not dead, he will definitely return. Grandfather needn’t worry." Pei Qin no longer kept the news to herself, considering Manager Liao and others had probably already sent message to Xiao Guangbi.
Old Scholar Fang, his mouth full of blisters from anxiety, exclaimed, "How can I not worry!? Not just a prince, but any ordinary child gone missing here would kill a person with worry!"
Pei Qin looked up, seeing his hair had turned mostly white. Her gaze hardened, "It’s possible that Xiao Guangbi took him himself. I don’t want Grandfather to worry because their purpose in abducting Xiao Yi was merely to coerce me and Mo Heng. He won’t be lost!"
