The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

It happened that the border was in danger, and the old general and Zhang Shizhong were fighting the enemy on the battlefield and could not leave.

It was also during this time that Zhang Xiu Lan, the legitimate granddaughter, personally carried her grandmother's coffin back to Pingyang County and never returned.

There are rumors outside that the young lady of the general's mansion is unfaithful to her husband and shamelessly eloped with someone.

Some people also said that the young lady of the general's mansion was so sad about the death of her grandmother that she fell ill and died with her grandmother.

Others said that the young lady of the general's mansion encountered bandits on the way to send her grandmother back to her hometown. All of them were killed by the bandits, and the young lady was also abducted.

............

There are all kinds of statements, and each one is unacceptable.

Zhang Shizhong only learned about his sister's disappearance after the border was stabilized. At that time, half a year had passed since Zhang Xiulan disappeared.

When he learned that his sister was missing, he rode his horse like crazy and rushed back to the capital day and night.

When he came back, he saw that the general's mansion was full of bright red, and festive red silk was hung all over the huge mansion.

Pan was like the mistress of the house, directing the servants in the yard to decorate Zhang Xiu Lan's original courtyard.

"You have a pig's brain, don't you? I told you to take down the white gauze on the door and replace it with red silk. On such a happy day, white gauze looks unlucky."

Zhang Xiuyun, with a smug look on her face, took over the magpie's nest and ordered all the things used by Zhang Xiulan to be moved out and burned.

"Come here, take out all the beds that the dead man slept on and burn them. You, go ask if the Qiangong Babu bed that I asked them to order a while ago is ready. I'm still waiting to use it."

Pan's son Zhang Shiping was nowhere to be seen. He must be either in some brothel or gambling house spending a fortune.

It is true that when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.

"Bitch, what are you doing!"

Zhang Shizhong was so furious at the ridiculous scene in front of him that he couldn't help but draw his sword and want to kill these two shameless bitches.

Pan was still arrogantly fantasizing about her dream of becoming a general's wife, when she suddenly heard an angry shout that made her scalp tingle.

Then a cold sword was placed on his neck.

She looked in the direction of the sword with trepidation.

Suddenly I saw a face as furious as a lion.

"Zhong...Zhong brother?"

"Bitch, I'm going to kill you. My grandmother has only passed away for half a year. How dare you? How dare you!"

The dazzling red color all over the yard stung Zhang Shizhong's eyes. His fingers gripping the sword creaked. If he exerted a little more force, Pan's head would fall to the ground the next moment. However, reason told him that he could not do that because his sister had not been found yet.

From what I saw and heard today, my sister’s disappearance must be related to them.

"Zhong, don't get excited. Calm down first. I can explain it to you. Put down the sword first and I will explain it to you."

Zhang Shizhong took a deep breath and slowly put down his sword.

"I just want to know one answer, where is my sister?"

When Pan's mother and daughter heard him mention Zhang Xiu Lan, a trace of guilt flashed in their eyes.

"I...we don't know either. Sister Lan sent the old lady back to her hometown, and she has not been heard from since. Even the people who went with her have not returned.

We sent people several times to look for him along the way, but no news came back.

Some people said that Sister Lan and her friends might have encountered bandits on their way to Pingyang County, and even if they found them, they couldn’t come back.”

As Pan spoke, she carefully watched Zhang Shizhong's face. Zhang Shizhong had made great military achievements at a young age, and he looked very murderous, which was really scary.

"You're talking nonsense! Immediately restore this yard to its original state. When my sister comes back, if she notices any difference, you'll be in big trouble."

Zhang Shizhong had no time to argue with them, and without even having time to change his clothes, he turned around and rode his horse towards Pingyang County.

He followed the route Zhang Xiu Lan had taken, asking for information along the way, and finally determined that Zhang Xiu Lan disappeared after burying her grandmother in Pingyang County.

As a result, all the bandit dens of all sizes in the mountains of Pingyang County that had been giving the county magistrate headaches for several years were turned upside down by Zhang Shizhong.

For a time, as soon as the bandits heard that Zhang Shizhong was coming to a certain mountain, they would be terrified and flee frantically.

Some bandits even voluntarily surrendered themselves.

Even after he had checked all the bandit dens in Pingyang County, Zhang Shizhong still hadn't found his sister.

Later, I got a little news from a hunter.

One day half a year ago, when the hunter was lying in ambush in the mountains to hunt, he saw a group of men in black chasing a group of people. The person being protected by the group was a young and beautiful girl.

He didn't know what happened afterwards. Considering his own safety, he hurried down the mountain after they ran far away. He didn't dare to go up the mountain for a long time and didn't know whether that group of people were dead or alive.

Finally seeing a glimmer of hope, Zhang Shizhong rewarded the hunter heavily and went in the direction he pointed.

Unfortunately, half a year later, the mountain was covered with vegetation and all previous traces were wiped out.

But he did not give up. He kept wandering around the mountain for the next ten days. He visited every corner of the mountain, even the smallest caves. Finally, he found more than twenty rotten and smelly skeletons in a ravine.

Zhang Shizhong was struck by lightning. This result was too cruel for him to accept.

He just stood there blankly, unwilling to move forward.

Zhang Qing, who was following behind him, understood his feelings. He was also unwilling to accept such an outcome, but he had no choice but to move forward.

From their clothes and number, it can be basically confirmed that they are the group of servants and guards escorting my grandmother's coffin. There are also two female corpses wearing maids' clothes, who should be my sister's two maids.

"General, there are a total of 23 male corpses and two female corpses. One person is missing. The young lady may still be alive!"

Zhang Qing's surprised voice instantly brought Zhang Shizhong back to his senses, and he strode forward to check.

After confirming that his sister was not among them, he was overjoyed.

After ordering his subordinates to stay and collect the corpses, he began to look for clues around here.

Finally, someone saw a small piece of white cotton cloth on a branch, with black and red bloodstains on it.

Zhang Shizhong now had a direction and immediately became energized, starting to look in that direction.

The road is full of bumps and rocks.

Later, they found another piece of the same cloth.

However, it is hanging on the edge of a cliff, with an abyss below that is unfathomable.

His heart sank to the bottom again, as if God was playing a joke on him.

But he still couldn't believe that his sister, who was smiling like a flower when she saw him off, had passed away.

It took him a whole day to stumble and crawl down to the bottom of the valley.

But all I saw was a pool of glaring dark red on the rocks at the bottom of the valley.

My sister, she really fell down.

But what about the people? Were they eaten by wild beasts or rescued by humans?

Reluctantly, he searched all the nearby villages and asked everywhere, but found nothing.

Until later, when the border war broke out again, he was urgently recalled and had to leave.

Before leaving, he arranged for people to continue searching.

So much so that for many years afterwards, until he got married, he never stopped looking for his sister.

Even this time, when the general asked to come to provide disaster relief, the main reason was that he was worried about his sister.
