Mrs. Lu is painting a picture of moon-watching during the Lantern Festival.

"Madam, the young master is back." Mo Ju reported in a low voice.

Lu Heng said hurriedly, "Mother, something happened in the Zhennan Palace."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Lu was not at all panicked, everything was under control.

"The two young masters of the Zhennan Palace have been kidnapped. Now the Zhenfu Division and the Wucheng Bingmasi are searching the whole city for the kidnappers." Lu Heng said.

Mrs. Lu's expression froze, "Two young masters?"

How could it be? Isn’t it only Feng Shenghua?

"Yes, in the crowd not far from the Lantern Stand, the emperor and the prince saw with their own eyes that the two young masters were kidnapped." Lu Heng said.

I don't know who dares to be so bold, and he happens to be outside the protection range of the Imperial Guards. Even if they react in time, it is difficult for them to immediately provide assistance to the two young masters because of the countless civilians in between.

"The kidnappers scattered money on the ground, causing chaos among the people around them, and took them away like that."

Mrs. Lu frowned and put down her paintbrush. "Are the people who arrested them the same group?"

"Yes, there are several peddlers, some of whom are responsible for distributing money, and some for arresting people." Lu Heng rubbed his brows, "Maybe things are not going well recently, mother, please don't go out for the time being."

"Concubine Bai is your aunt. She must be very sad that your cousin was arrested. I want to go to the palace to visit her." Mrs. Lu said immediately.

Mrs. Lu was worried that there was a mistake in Concubine Bai's arrangement, which led to Feng Chunhua being kidnapped.

She was not worried about anything else, she just didn't want to be implicated by Concubine Bai.

"Then I'll take my mother there." Lu Heng said immediately.

Mrs. Lu had something hidden in her mind, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

A night passed, and there was still no news from the two young masters.

Concubine Bai was not worried at first. She thought that as soon as the sun rose, the people she arranged would be able to find Feng Shenghua who was almost killed in the Huguo Temple.

Now that Feng Chunhua was kidnapped, she felt a little uncertain.

She didn't sleep well at all.

He got up in the morning and had no time to wash up before he hurriedly asked his servants to inquire about the news.

Prince Zhennan and Feng Yuanjia did not return home all night, and they were still outside looking for Feng Chunhua and Feng Shenghua.

"Even the eldest son hasn't been found yet?" Concubine Bai looked unhappy, and she felt more and more that things were out of her control.

"Don't worry, Concubine. The kidnappers who took the Second Young Master away have been caught by Commander Lu at the foot of the Huguo Temple. They are now detained in the Pacification Office. I believe we will be able to find out the Second Young Master's whereabouts soon." The housekeeper tried to please Concubine Bai and told her the news he had just heard.

Concubine Bai's expression changed, "What?"

Mrs. Lu happened to walk outside the hall at this time, and she also heard what the housekeeper said.

"Brother Heng, go and find out whether Lu Yuan has really caught the kidnappers. You... find out who those kidnappers are." Mrs. Lu whispered to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng was a little confused. Why did his mother want to know this?

"Don't ask so many questions first, just go." Mrs. Lu said in a deep voice.

Lu Heng never disobeyed Mrs. Lu's orders, so he responded in a low voice.

As soon as Concubine Bai saw Madam Lu, she immediately dismissed the servants and went back to the inner room to talk with her.

"Sister, was it you who captured Feng Chunhua?" asked Concubine Bai.

"You arranged all those people. I never interfered." Mrs. Lu's expression was still calm and indifferent. "I still want to ask you if there is any mistake."

Concubine Bai paced anxiously, "Impossible, I gave clear instructions, there is no way I could have made a mistake, I thought you were going to attack Feng Chunhua."

Mrs. Lu: "I'm not stupid."

If Feng Chunhua was also captured, how could they prove that it was the princess and Feng Yuanjia who wanted to silence Feng Shenghua, and they would not be able to drag Shen Suian into the water.

"What should we do now? They haven't been found yet. I heard that the Zhenfusi has caught two kidnappers. What kind of place is the Zhenfusi? Would you be able to bear it if you go in?" said Concubine Bai.

Mrs. Lu held her shoulders and said, "Why are you panicking? Even if they are caught, the interrogation will reveal the identity of the Ye family. It was the Ye family who wanted to kidnap Feng Shenghua. It has nothing to do with you."

Concubine Bai calmed down and said, "Yes, you are right. It has nothing to do with me. It has always been the princess who has been in contact with those people. Even if the kidnappers identify someone, they will identify the princess."

"You'd better find Feng Chunhua before the prince and the Pacification Office, and make sure he is safe and sound." Mrs. Lu said.

Concubine Bai frowned, "Wouldn't it be better if he died outside?"

"Will Ye kidnap her own son and let him die at the hands of the kidnappers?" If you want to frame Ye, it must be reasonable.

If Feng Chunhua was also kidnapped, Prince Zhennan would not suspect Lu.

"I'll send someone to find him." said Concubine Bai.

Mrs. Lu stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Sister, are we still going to follow the plan? You have already produced all the evidence." Concubine Bai asked.

"Find Feng Chunhua first." Mrs. Lu was actually very angry.

At this time, she had already produced evidence that Shen Suian and Feng Yuanjia conspired to frame Feng Shenghua.

But now Feng Chunhua has also been kidnapped, so her evidence seems a bit deliberate.

She couldn't risk it.

After Mrs. Lu left the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion and returned to the Lu family, she asked Mo Ju to invite Shen Sui'an over.

"When did Shen Sui'an come back last night?" asked Mrs. Lu.

Mo Ju said, "Madam, the eldest young mistress came back at the hour of Xu."

Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes slightly. At that time, the two young masters of the Zhennan Palace had not been kidnapped yet, and it had nothing to do with Shen Sui'an.

But she has been close to Feng Yuanjia recently, so it is impossible for her not to know about this.

"Young Madam." The voice of a little maid bowing came from outside the door.

Mrs. Lu's expression froze slightly, and her eyes returned to calm and indifferent.

Shen Sui'an walked in leisurely and bowed, "Greetings, Madam."

"Why didn't you go to Prince Zhennan's Mansion today?" asked Mrs. Lu.

"Madam, I heard this morning that two young masters of the Zhennan Palace had an accident during the Lantern Festival yesterday. I was very anxious, but Princess Yuanjia is not in the palace, so it would be useless for me to go there." Shen Suian frowned and sighed.

Mrs. Lu stared at the expression on Shen Sui'an's face, "Didn't you have an appointment with Princess Yuanjia yesterday? Didn't you meet the eldest master?"

"Yes, but the second young master wanted the eldest young master to accompany him, so we separated at that time." Shen Sui'an sighed, "If the eldest young master had not been allowed to follow the second young master to guess lantern riddles, perhaps this would not have happened."

The implication of Shen Suian's words was that he was actually blaming Feng Shenghua.

"Is there any news about Lu Yuan?" Mrs. Lu asked with a frown.

"I...I don't know. My husband didn't come back yesterday." Shen Suian said.

Madam Lu looked at her deeply and said, "You have been hanging out with Princess Yuanjia recently. Aren't you worried about her brother at all?"

Shen Sui'an: "I'm anxious."

"..."Mrs. Lu found that she could not get any useful information from Shen Sui'an.

"You go and find out, and tell me if you have any news." Mrs. Lu waved her hand.

"Yes, ma'am."
