Qiu Wen could only smile and say, "My wife sent me here to pay my respects to the old lady and say a few words. I don't know if I can see her. I can report back to her."

Qiu Ju smiled and said, "That's not a coincidence. The old lady is now leaning against the bed and asleep. I will tell her when she wakes up."

Qiu Wen had no choice but to come out and go to the kitchen to ask the cooks who prepared food for Jingxin Hall.

"It's still the same, um, no special requirements."

Qiuwen listened, thought about it, and went back to the laundry room.

I asked around but didn't find out anything.

Suddenly I thought that maybe all of this was arranged by Shen Yiran in advance, so I had no choice but to come back and report.

"That's really suspicious! Are you saying that they won't even let you in through the main gate?"

Qiu Wen nodded: "Will you please go and have a look when you come back?"

Xu thought it made sense, so she said, "Go to the government office and tell them that there is something going on, and ask him to come back early."

Bo Jinxiu was discussing with his colleagues in the yamen which opera was good, when he saw a talented person from the mansion looking in at the door.

Bo Jinxiu was a clerk with a low position. Although there were many people supervising him, there was no reason to keep an eye on him all the time, so he took the lead in being lazy.

Seeing someone coming home, he immediately slipped out to ask.

"Maybe the old lady is ill?"

"I have an appointment to go to the theatre tonight. That famous actor will only sing for one or two nights. Forget it. I'll go back soon!"

However, Qiu Wen's inquiry into the old lady's affairs soon reached the ears of the second wife Rong Qingqing.

Bo Jinjue was also at home watching over Tuantuan. Upon hearing this, he immediately frowned and asked, "What on earth has the Madam been thinking about all day?"

The servant who reported the news immediately replied, "Master, don't disbelieve me. I heard that the eldest lady has gone to greet the eldest young master and asked him to come back early to pay his respects to the old lady!"

After hearing this, Rong Qingqing immediately pushed Bo Jinjue and said, "Xu Shi can't have done this for no reason. Now that we know about it, we'd better believe it!"

Bo Jinjue thought for a moment and said, "Since we are at home, we should stay calm and don't worry."

Rong Qingqing was somewhat disapproving after hearing this, and quietly ordered a maid to go out to find out the news. Only then did she discover that no one in their Songfeng Tower was allowed to go out.

"My dear, don't you think this is intentional to guard against us?"

Bo Jinjue originally wanted to keep quiet, but now he became a little confused.

"It's useless even if we want to think of a solution now. We can't get out!"

Rong Qingqing said this deliberately, forcing Bo Jinjue to find a solution.

If Bo Jinjue wanted to go out, Shen Yiran would definitely not be able to stop him.

But Bo Jinjue remained unmoved: "No, if we argue and go out now, it will be too conspicuous. Let's wait and see. We'll see what happens when Big Brother comes back."

Rong Qingqing had no choice but to wait.

When Bo Jinxiu came back from the government office and went to Jianjia Pavilion, he asked Xu about the situation in detail.

Xu said, "Qiu Wen went to inquire again, and there is no record of calling a doctor, but the old lady hasn't shown up for a few days. Don't you think it's strange?"

Bo Jinxiu narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "You mean, the old lady is gone?"

"We can't rule out this possibility. Anyway, you'll know everything if you go and take a look!"

Bo Jinxiu took the Guanyin statue that he had prepared in advance and went to Jingxin Hall.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the Moon Cave, he was stopped by Qiu Ju.

"I'm here to see the old lady, please move aside."

Bo Jinxiu ignored Qiuju and walked straight inside.

Qiu Ju couldn't stop him and could only watch him go in.

The old nanny stood at the door of the bedroom and said with a smile, "The eldest young master is here?"

Bo Jinxiu became more suspicious and said to the old lady, "I got a statue of Guanyin, which was blessed by a great monk, and I wanted to give it to the old lady. Why are you not letting me in?"

The old lady narrowed her eyes and smiled, "The old lady has gone to bed."

Bo Jinxiu snorted coldly, "It's so early, I'll go in and put the Guanyin statue away before leaving. It has been blessed and has a special position. If you put it in the wrong position, it won't protect people, but will be dangerous."

After hearing this, the old nanny had no choice but to step aside and open the door.

Bo Jinxiu immediately stepped into the room, looked around, and went straight into the inner room.

"Didn't they say the old lady had already rested? Where is she?"

The bed was empty, no one was there.

Bo Jinxiu went to other rooms and looked around, but the old lady was not there!

He immediately turned around and found the old nanny and asked, "Where is the old lady?"

Shen Yiran had already received the news from Qiu Ju. He looked up and saw Bo Jinxiu standing at the door holding a statue of Guanyin, and immediately quickened his pace.

"Brother, the old lady has something to do and has been out of the house for a few days. She should be back the day after tomorrow."

"Sister-in-law, what you did is wrong. The old lady is old, how can you let her go far away casually? And you hide it from us, I'm afraid you don't have the right to do so, right?"

When it comes to interests, Bo Jinxiu doesn't have any ulterior motives and his attitude towards Shen Yiran is very harsh.

"Haha, I naturally don't have that right. Don't worry, big brother, the Marquis will personally escort the old lady, and we will definitely come back safely together."

Bo Jinxiu became even more unhappy after hearing this and walked away.

"How can you do things like this?"

Shen Yiran thought that Bo Jinxiu had gone to the second house to argue, so he was not worried. However, the old nanny pulled Shen Yiran and said, "The eldest young master may have gone to ask the elders of the clan for help. Go and stop him."

After being reminded, Shen Yiran immediately walked out and ordered them to leave.

But the guards came back and reported that the young master had stuffed the Buddha statue into his pocket and left, and they had seen him get into the carriage and leave.

The old nanny followed and after hearing the news, she lowered her head and thought for a while: "If that's the case, we should be prepared to deal with it. Third Madam, come here, I'll tell you."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran immediately followed the old nanny into the house.

"Although our Bo family is the main branch, there are also elders from other branches who are still alive. Most of them are engaged in business and have not entered the officialdom, but they are still quite wealthy."

"There are three families that can speak for themselves. The oldest and most senior family is the Bo Chong clan, the branch of the Bo family. Then there are Bo Xiaoyou and Bo Xiaofeng. These two are of the same generation."

"They have always been looking for opportunities to suppress our main house until our old marquis is crowned a marquis. Although they have calmed down now, they are still unwilling to accept it. They will definitely speak harshly later. Don't be afraid."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran immediately said, "I'm not afraid."

"Well, they are just trying to take this opportunity to interfere with our mansion. They will definitely not let this opportunity go."

The old nanny sighed and said, "I don't think the first and second wives will necessarily stand on your side. At this point, only Madam can fight against them."

Shen Yiran listened and did not retreat: "Old Madam, don't worry about me. As long as it makes sense, I am not afraid."
