Su Qing guessed that Luan Hong must have gone to Chu Jingfeng’s residence to ask about his situation. No one could stop a woman in love.
“Mother will accompany you.”
Yang Ruxue felt uncomfortable staying in the winery but always wanted to be by her daughter’s side, so she followed Su Qing out.
“Mother, you and Auntie go home first. I’ll come back once I find Luan Hong.”
Su Qing stopped her mother. She was prepared to have a good talk with Luan Hong. A lady’s face was thin, and the fewer people who knew she liked Chu Jingfeng, the better.
“Alright then, be careful.”
Yang Ruxue had no choice but to agree. She couldn’t bear to look away after her daughter left.
Su Qing left the winery and went to Chu Jingfeng’s residence. Luan Hong would come here if she wanted to inquire about Chu Jingfeng.
When they arrived at the Chu residence, Qing saw that the door was closed and there was no one at the door. She walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
“Open the door.”
She knocked for a long time, but no one came to open the door. Su Qing’s eyes flickered as she looked at the tightly shut courtyard door. Suddenly, she flew up the wall and looked down at the situation in the courtyard.
The courtyard was quiet. Su Qing felt something was wrong and jumped into the yard from the wall. She searched the front and back of the yard, but no one was there.
Su Qing couldn’t help but frown. She went to Chu Jingfeng’s restaurant again to figure out the situation. The restaurant that used to be filled with guests was now quiet. Only two waiters were packing things in the room. There was no sign of the shopkeeper.
Seeing Su Qing walk into the shop, the two waiters stopped what they were doing and said to her,
“Sir, we are closed.”
“Closed?”
Su Qing raised her eyebrows. How could it be such a coincidence?
“When did this happen?” Su Qing asked the two waiters.
“It will be closed today. We will inform you when it will open.”
The two waiters thought Su Qing was reluctant to part with their restaurant! They also found it strange. Why did the shopkeeper suddenly say that the restaurant was closed?
“Where’s your shopkeeper?”
Su Qing asked coldly. She could already feel that something was wrong.
“He left.”
“Where did he go?”
“I don’t know. The shopkeeper didn’t say.”
Seeing that she couldn’t get any useful information from the two waiters, Su Qing stopped asking and walked upstairs. She wanted to make sure that the shopkeeper was there.
Seeing Su Qing walk upstairs without a word, the two workers caught up with her.
“Hey, Miss, don’t go up. We’re not open.”
Su Qing ignored them and went straight upstairs. It was still empty. The shopkeeper was indeed not there.
Su Qing turned around and asked the two workers who had chased her upstairs,
“Where does your shopkeeper live?”
The two waiters looked at Su Qing suspiciously. Why did they feel that this young lady was here to seek revenge?
“I don’t know.”
The two of them shook their heads at the same time. Su Qing walked up to them expressionlessly and ordered coldly, “Speak.”
Su Qing’s unquestionable tone and fierce aura scared the two waiters so much that they did not dare to hide anymore. They honestly said where the shopkeeper lived.
It was just that finding the winding alleys they mentioned was very troublesome. Su Qing asked a waiter to lead the way for her to find the shopkeeper quickly.
The door was locked when she found the shopkeeper’s house, and he wasn’t there at all.
“Where else would he go?”
Su Qing asked the waiter sternly. The waiter was afraid and said sadly, “I don’t know. There were a lot of people at lunch when the shopkeeper left. When he left, he said that the shop was closed and didn’t say anything else.”
Noon?
Su Qing frowned. He had returned home at noon, but the shopkeeper had left at noon. This was too much of a coincidence.
Did Luan Hong see the shopkeeper before?
Su Qing returned home with a belly full of questions. Afraid her mother and aunt would worry that she did not enter the residence, she asked the guard, “Is Miss Luan Hong back?”
“She hasn’t returned, but someone sent a letter for you to read.”
The servant shook his head and handed a letter to Su Qing. The letter was sealed with a red seal to prevent anyone from peeking.
Such a severe letter aroused Su Qing’s suspicion. She tore the envelope and poured out the letter.
Ji Shuisheng had just returned from the military camp and had rushed back to greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He had to thank his father-in-law for giving him such a good wife. From afar, he saw Su Qing standing at the Su family’s door with an envelope in her hand. He jumped off his horse and walked over.
“Qing’er, what are you looking at?”
“Someone sent a letter.”
Su Qing frowned as she read the contents of the letter. Her expression grew colder and darker.
“What is it?”
Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing’s expression was not right. This letter must be extraordinary, so he hurriedly asked her.
“Look.”
Su Qing handed the letter to Ji Shuisheng. His expression was as cold as the ice and snow of the twelfth month. “They kidnapped Luan Hong.”
Ji Shuisheng’s expression turned serious when he heard Su Qing’s words. He hurriedly read the contents of the letter. “Use Chu Jingfeng to exchange for Lady Luan. Three days later, at the border of the Haza Kingdom, we will exchange for another person.”
There was only one line of words, but the content was shocking. Chu Jingfeng was also Prince Batulu of the Haza Kingdom. After Yan Shikuan captured him, he was locked up in the secret prison of Jingshi Dao.
Yan Shikuan built this secret cell specifically to lock up such heavyweight prisoners. It was in the middle of the military camp, and thousands of soldiers were guarding it daily. Even flies couldn’t fly in, so no one could break out of the prison.
Chu Jingfeng’s men probably wouldn’t be able to save Batulu even if they tried everything they could, so they set their sights on Su Qing because they knew how powerful Su Qing was. They wanted her to go to the military camp to save him and exchange him for Luan Hong.
That was why Luan Hong was kidnapped when Su Qing had just arrived at Jingshi Dao.
“I suspect that there are spies in the residence.”
Su Qing’s expression was hideous. She had this suspicion before but was still a step too late. She didn’t catch this spy in time and caused Luan Hong to be caught.
“Then arrest them all and interrogate them.”
Ji Shuisheng also took this matter very seriously. Although Haza did not attack Jingshi Dao, their emperor had always been ambitious. He must have had a big plan to send his prince to Jingshi Dao.
Capturing Luan Hong in exchange for Chu Jingfeng wasn’t enough because Yan Shikuan wouldn’t use a prince of the Haza Kingdom in exchange for an irrelevant young lady.
Therefore, they waited until Su Qing returned before capturing Luan Hong. Firstly, they might know how powerful Su Qing was. Secondly, they might know about the situation in the military camp.
“Let’s enter the residence.”
Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng were thinking the same thing. If they only captured Luan Hong, they could not threaten her. For safety reasons, they would attack her family.
Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing hurried into the residence. They saw two servants guarding the door when they entered the inner residence. When they saw Su Qing return, a trace of panic flashed across their faces. They hurriedly came over and shouted,
“Miss.”
Su Qing kicked the two of them away. Ji Shuisheng went over and pressed their acupuncture points to stop them from making more noise. The two servants looked like they were in pain. They wanted to shout but could not make a sound. They tried to move but could not. They could only watch as Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng continued to walk into the inner residence.
Su Qing was anxious and worried about her mother and Xiao Chen’s safety. Just as she entered her mother’s courtyard, he saw a black shadow flying out of the house..
