Chapter 956: Wipe Out (1)
freёweɓnovel.com Fan Meijiao was kidnapped by villains!
When Madame Zhao of Bao Hua Temple and the Zhao Mansion in Jing City received the news, it was already noon.
What thought did Madame Zhao have for fulfilling vows now? She cried bitterly before hurriedly packing up her belongings and, along with her maids and servants, rushed back to the Zhao Mansion to urge her son to find a way to rescue her granddaughter.
Zhao Fengnian was so anxious he lost his wits, wanting to rush to the Jingzhao Mansion to get help in finding his niece, but he was stopped by Mrs. Zhao.
If it were a man who had been kidnapped, reporting to the government for assistance in the search would be a sound strategy; however, the one abducted was their niece staying at the Zhao Family’s residence. Whether it was for money or lust, once word spread, the girl’s reputation would be tainted.
In such a time, even the reputation of Zhao’s own daughters might be tarnished by Fan Meijiao’s misfortune, possibly ruining their prospects of marrying into good families. Mrs. Zhao, although not fond of Fan Meijiao and wishing she would lose face and be unable to stay in the Zhao Family, thus preventing her from marrying into the Mu Family and looking down on her, she would not gamble with her own daughters’ reputations.
Zhao Fengnian was also panicking, hence his foolish idea. He realized that not only should they not report the matter, but they had to keep it tightly under wraps, especially from the Mu Family. In that moment, several strands of his hair turned white with worry. After much thought, he came up with no better plan than to summon all the guards in the mansion to search the forest where his niece was taken for any clues that might lead to her return.
The Zhao Family was not like the World Families with profound heritage and immense wealth; they had only thirty-odd guards in total. These guards took silver to rent fast horses and dashed out of Jing City, causing quite a stir on the streets, where they were talked about by the passing pedestrians.
