Chapter 1299 - 406 Counterplot
"How could this happen, how could this happen..." Mo Qingze muttered to himself, as if he had lost his soul.
He couldn’t understand who would kidnap his daughter. If it was for money, someone should have made demands today, asking them to prepare the ransom in silver taels. If it was for revenge, among those who held grudges against his family, who had the ability to abduct his daughter without anyone noticing and yet so many of the people he sent out couldn’t find even a trace?
"Wuu, Yanyan, where are you, where exactly are you..." Cui Qingrou and Xin Er, who were also waiting in the main hall for news, could not hold back their tears any longer and started crying with their mouths covered.
They had never imagined that their daughter (sister) would suffer such a misfortune. They dared not imagine what kind of abuse Mo Yan might have undergone after being kidnapped. If they could, they wished it had been them who were taken.
"If only, if only I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let sister come back by herself yesterday. I should have kept her with me, wuu..." Xin Er cried out in self-reproach, wishing she could turn back time to the day before.
"It’s my fault, all my fault! It was so late at night, I should have asked Yanyan to stay. It’s all my fault!" Cui Qingrou’s tears flowed freely, her regret reaching its peak.
After the banquet at the Prince’s Mansion ended yesterday afternoon, she had persuaded Mo Yan to stay at the Scholar Mansion for one night before returning. But Mo Yan, carrying the list of wine order’s, said she had to prepare early and couldn’t stay overnight, so Cui Qingrou did not insist. If she had persuaded her a little more and kept Mo Yan there, this would not have happened.
"Wuu, mother, sister won’t have anything happen to her, right? She’ll come back safely, won’t she?" Xin Er, feeling helpless, threw herself into her mother’s arms and asked in panic. If possible, she would rather suffer this ordeal in place of her sister, rather than have her sister end up missing like this.
