Su Yuanwang quickly supported Zhou Ruoxue, "Madam, please don't worry, take care of yourself."

"Master, what should we do? He is usually well-behaved and sensible, and has never caused any worries to the family. How could he suddenly disappear?

If anything happens to me, how can I live up to my elder brother and his wife's trust? They entrusted the child to us with such confidence, but now something like this has happened."

Zhou Ruoxue was regretting her decision to death at this moment. If she had known to send Zhou Zhuo back to the Zhou Mansion today, this incident would not have happened.

Given my sister-in-law's personality, if she knew that Zhou Zhuo was missing, the Su family would be in turmoil for a long time.

At this time, Steward Su came in to report that the fire had been put out and except for the three burned maids, no one else was injured.

Su Yao, who had been silent all the time, thought of something and suddenly said, "Madam Lin, are you sure you have searched the entire mansion inside and out?"

Nanny Lin quickly replied, "Second Miss, after all, this is where the masters live, so I didn't send anyone in to look for it."

Madam Su frowned and said sternly, "How can you still care about these rules at this time? Take people to search carefully again immediately, and don't let any courtyard go!"

Su Yuanwang also nodded, "Mother is right, Asong, you are responsible for the places where the young masters and servants live, even if it is an empty yard or toilet.

For the Lin family, you are responsible for the main courtyards and the residences of the girls and their families."

After receiving the order, Butler Su and Nanny Lin quickly retreated.

Su Yao looked around at the people who were worried, and said casually, "It's really strange. First, the people around my elder sister caught fire for no reason, and then cousin Zhuo disappeared. Is there any connection between the two?"

Everyone was silent after hearing this, because they all felt that what happened tonight was indeed very strange.

But they also felt that it was not Su Yue who did it. After all, Su Yue was not favored in the mansion and had no power. How could she, a weak and injured woman, and Nanny Yang hide the unconscious Zhou Zhuo?

Su Yao was unwilling to see that no one responded to her, so she turned her head slightly and winked at her maid Furong.

Furong immediately understood Su Yao's look, and she pretended to be embarrassed: "Miss, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it..."

Su Yao raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "It's okay to say it."

Furong looked at everyone carefully before she spoke, "When I passed by the garden this afternoon, I saw Nanny Yang coming towards Chaoyang Garden. She walked in a mysterious way, as if she didn't want others to know she had been here."

Su Yao pretended to be shocked. "Why would the nanny next to my elder sister come to Chaoyang Garden for no reason? Could it be that my elder sister is really..."

"boom!"

Before Su Yao finished speaking, she heard Madam Su slam the table. Everyone was startled and turned to look at Madam Su.

Old Lady Su said sternly, "How dare you! Stop talking nonsense! Furong, if you dare to slander the master again, you will no longer be a servant to the Second Young Lady."

After Su Yue's reminder, Old Madam Su always felt that Zhou Ruoxue and her elder brother and sister-in-law from her natal family were planning to have Su Yue marry into the Zhou family.

Now that Zhou Zhuo is missing, even Su Yao and her maid want to drag Su Yue into this. Wait, could it be that Zhou Zhuo is hiding in Qingyou Garden now?

Thinking of this, Old Madam Su glanced at Su Yao angrily.

It's a waste of time to love Su Yao. I really don't know what's so good about the Zhou family. If Su Yue marries into the family, not only will she not be able to help the family, but the Su family will have to work hard to support them.

When Mrs. Su saw that Su Yao was not wearing the top-quality jade necklace she had given her, she became even more dissatisfied.

What did she suddenly think of? That's right, the Zhou family definitely wants not only the support of the Su family, but also Su Yue's dowry. Su Yue's mother's dowry is a ten-mile red dress!

Furong was so frightened when she saw Madam Su suddenly get so angry that she kowtowed and admitted her mistake.

Su Yao's eyes suddenly turned red. In Su Yao's heart, although she was the second daughter of Minister Su.

But Madam Su has always loved her very much. Even Su Yao's twin brother Su Zelin does not have this kind of love.

Now, Old Madam Su scolded her maid in front of so many people for Su Yue, which was equivalent to a slap in the face of Su Yao, and Su Yao could not bear it.

Su Yao was about to speak, but Zhou Ruoxue beside her spoke first.

"Yao'er, your grandmother is right. If you don't have any evidence, don't say anything. If you tell others, it will ruin your sister's reputation."

Su Yao understood the warning in Zhou Ruoxue's eyes. She could only lower her head in grievance, but the nails in her clenched fists dug deeply into her palms.

Although her palm hurt, Su Yao felt even more pain and strong resentment in her heart. What was good about Su Yue being a bastard without a mother? Why should her grandmother speak for Su Yue?

Su Rou lowered her head, her eyes full of mockery. Su Yao was such a fool...

Old Madam Su had no time to care about Su Yao's thoughts at this moment. She was just afraid that Zhou Zhuo was really in Su Yue's courtyard.

If Su Yue is found again by Nanny Lin and a group of people, she will never be able to clear herself even if she jumps into the moat, and her final outcome will be to marry into the Zhou family.

With Zhou Ruoxue's personality, she would definitely send all of Su Yue's biological mother's dowry to the Zhou family. By then, their Su family would really lose all their face and dignity.

No, she wanted to stop all this, and she hoped it was not too late.

Madam Su stood up with the help of a cane. "Since everyone is very confused about why the maidservant next to Yue was burned near Chaoyang Garden, then Yuanwang and I will go to Yue's yard to take a look, and the others can go back and wait for news."

Su Yuanwang has risen to the position of Minister of War, and what he does most on a daily basis is to figure out the emperor's intentions and prescribe the right medicine, so he immediately understood what his mother meant by these words.

He also stood up and supported Madam Su, echoing, "Mother is right, Madam, second brother, you should go back to your respective courtyards and look for it again.

I will accompany my mother to visit Miss Yue. Lin'er, Yao'er, you guys send your mother back and comfort her."

Everyone was very surprised and didn't understand why Madam Su made such a decision, but it was also obvious that Madam Su didn't want them to get too involved in this matter.

Su Yuanzhe did not ask too many questions. After all, it was the business of the first wife. As long as it did not involve the interests of the second wife, he did not have too much curiosity. So he took his children to say goodbye to Madam Su and left.

Zhou Ruoxue could also see that today Old Madam Su and Su Yuanwang wanted to protect Su Yue.

But she didn't understand. Over the years, Old Madam Su had always been very cold towards Su Yue. Sometimes she was so cold as if she didn't have this granddaughter. Why was she so abnormal now?

"Grandma, Dad, I want to go see my elder sister. I'll go with you."

Su Yao always felt that Zhou Zhuo must be in Su Yue's Qingyou Garden, so she wanted to go and see what was going on. It would be best if she could catch them in bed.

Su Zelin saw that Madam Su looked a little dissatisfied, so he immediately stopped her and said, "Yao'er, we have to listen to our grandmother and father. Let's go and help our mother go back first. If you want to see your elder sister, there's plenty of time tomorrow."

Su Yuanwang nodded: "Yao'er, your elder brother is right, help your mother back quickly. Madam, don't worry too much, Zhuo'er is a lucky person, and we will definitely find her."
