The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Shen Qinglan didn't expect Nangong Mingyue to disappear like this!

According to Qian Duoduo, after Nangong Mingyue rescued Shen Qinglan and returned home that day, she had a big fight with Minister Qian.

Although Qian Duoduo was embarrassed to explain in detail, Shen Qinglan could probably guess why Shangshu Qian was angry.

The situation is unclear now, and Minister Qian has not yet taken his position. And Nangong Mingyue's move is obviously intended to completely offend the Eighth Prince, thus cutting off the Eighth Prince's future.

In this way, if the Eighth Prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he, the Minister of Revenue, will probably be out of office.

After a big quarrel, the two parted on bad terms, but when Qian Duoduo went to look for Nangong Mingyue the next day, Nangong Mingyue was nowhere to be found.

Qian Duoduo ran to find Qian Shangshu, who was still angry and said, "Tell her to get out! If she gets out, don't come back!"

Obviously, Minister Qian thought that Nangong Mingyue ran away from home in anger after a quarrel.

Qian Duoduo also thought so at first. After thinking about it, he returned to the general's mansion, but there was no trace of Nangong Mingyue in the general's mansion.

Qian Duoduo originally wanted to tell this to his grandfather Nangong Liuming, but Nangong Liuming was already in very poor health. After he went to the palace to meet Emperor Jingren that day, he recalled the pain of losing his son and fell ill again.

Qian Duoduo was afraid that telling Nangong Liuming about his mother's disappearance would aggravate Nangong Liuming's condition, so he had to keep the matter secret.

"Princess, my mother is not the kind of willful person. She would not run away from home just because she had a quarrel with my father. So she must have been in trouble!"

"It's just that my father doesn't believe me, and my grandfather doesn't. I have no choice but to come to you for help."

Qian Duoduo's eyes were red and tears were welling up in his sockets, but he wiped them away stubbornly with his hands.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan stepped forward, grabbed Qian Duoduo's hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, leave this to me, I will help you find your mother."

Qian Duoduo smelled the faint fragrance coming from Shen Qinglan, and his mood seemed to calm down a little.

Huo Junyu was right. His mother had the ability to calm people down.

Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo wiped her tears and said, "Taohong also disappeared with my mother. Will my mother and the others be okay?"

Shen Qinglan's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he said after a moment of silence:

"Taohong is your mother's confidant. Your mother always asks Taohong to do things, right?"

"Yes, Taohong is my mother's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. She grew up with my mother. My mother trusts her the most, and I heard that..."

"My grandmother was afraid that my mother would suffer because of her straightforward personality, so she spent a lot of time cultivating Taohong, hoping that Taohong would help my mother more in the future."

Shen Qinglan was not surprised to hear this.

This can be seen from Taohong's ability to handle the crisis last time.

Shen Qinglan already had a guess in his mind, but he still needed confirmation, so he rubbed Qian Duoduo's head and said:

"You don't have to go back to the Shangshu Mansion for the next two days. Just stay in the palace. I will send someone to inform your father."

If this matter is really as she guessed, then Qian Duoduo might be in danger if he returns home.

After having Qian Duoduo sent away to rest, Shuwen asked:

"Miss, Madam Qian is missing and we don't have any clues. How can we find her?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, gently turning the jade bracelet on her wrist with her fingers, and explained softly:

"Sister Nangong is not the type of person who would disappear after a quarrel. Although she has a straightforward personality, she would not want General Nangong to worry about her, so her disappearance can only be an accident."

"And now Taohong has also disappeared with her. What does this prove?"

Shuyu blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "What did it prove?"

Shuwen rolled his eyes, tapped Shuyu on the head, and said:

"It proves that the two of them went out to do something together and encountered an accident, which led to their disappearance."

Shuyu held his head with some grievance, glared at Shuwen, and then looked at Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan nodded, with a gleam in his eyes, and said in a light voice:

"Since Taohong is Sister Nangong's confidant, it is very likely that she discovered some clues, which is why Sister Nangong left with her."

"And the only thing Sister Nangong can ask Taohong to do these days is probably to find the doctor who treated Aunt Liu and moved away with her family."

Therefore, Taohong must have discovered the doctor's location, which is why she told Nangong Mingyue about it.

However, the fact that the two of them disappeared together could have been a trap set by Aunt Liu...

This Aunt Liu is really not a simple person.

However, if Aunt Liu wanted to kill Nangong Mingyue, she might not dare to do so, but...

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan couldn't wait any longer and said:

"Shuwen! Go to Jingzhao Prefecture right now. That day I asked Sister Nangong to use the government for help. Maybe Jingzhao Prefecture has some clues!"

"Yes!"

Shuwen immediately took the order and left.

Not long after, Shuwen had sent back the letter. After Shuyu gave the letter to Shen Qinglan, Shen Qinglan only saw one line of words: "Qingyi Lane, Nanchang Street."

Shen Qinglan rolled up the note and instructed Shuyu:

"Take the men and go!"

at this time.

In a small courtyard in Tsing Yi Lane.

Nangong Mingyue felt a splitting headache at this moment, and she had no strength in her whole body. She couldn't even raise her hand.

She opened her eyes with some effort and saw Taohong lying on the side, her life or death unknown.

It felt like someone was pressing down on me, and it felt heavy.

When she looked carefully, she saw a handsome man in his twenties, with a flushed face and panting, trying to tear off her clothes with his hands.

"what!"

Nangong Mingyue screamed and tried to push the man away, but she found that her voice now sounded like a kitten's meow, and she was powerless to push the man's hand.

It's said to be resistance, but it's more like acting coquettishly!

Not only that, at this moment Nangong Mingyue only felt that her body was very hot, as if something was burning.

"Let me go, let me go..." Nangong Mingyue pushed the man, sweat pouring down her forehead in anxiety.

The man saw Nangong Mingyue wake up, and paused for a moment before saying, "Don't be afraid, dear sister. I will treat you well from now on."

"How dare you! I am the wife of the Minister of State! My father is the General of the Cavalry! How many brave men have you eaten?"

Nangong Mingyue tried hard to stay calm and threatened the man.

She recognized this man! It was the son of Doctor Li whom she had found!

But she didn't expect that she and Taohong had just entered the yard and she fainted before they could say a few words!

Now it seems that they were tricked!

"Good sister, Minister Qian is old, how can he be as young and strong as me? When you and I get along, divorce him and I will marry into your general's mansion... Let's live happily!"

Having said this, the man's eyes became more and more fiery, and he began to tear Nangong Mingyue's clothes.

"Get out! Get out! No! Get out!!!"

The sound of silk being torn was heard. Nangong Mingyue was powerless to resist and closed her eyes in despair.

At this moment, the door was smashed open with a bang!

"Bold maniac! Seeking death!"

A loud shout sounded, and Nangong Mingyue looked sideways! She only felt a ray of light shining! A figure with his back to the light came towards her like a god!
