  "What... what's going on with Fifth Sister?! Qing Xing, tell me clearly!" Upon hearing this news, Jiu Siao'er was so shocked that the embroidery frame in her hand fell to the ground.

  "What's mother saw the fifth girl sitting well in the house before, later on San Gu Ye's sedan chair came to the door and she went to watch the excitement. When she returned, the fifth girl was gone without a trace. She asked Qing Hua Qing Cao, but they all said they hadn't seen her. They searched everywhere, but couldn't find her. This scared them badly, so they quickly told Second Madam. Second Madam then reported it to Old Lady, and now several masters in the mansion have been mobilized. It's a big commotion."

  "Oh..."

  "Also, the slave said..." Qing Xing continued hesitantly.

  "What did you say?"

  "Say... " Qing Xiang was stunned for a moment, then whispered cautiously, "Xi Rou is nowhere to be found, and even the jade pendant that Autumn Aunt left for Fifth Sister before she passed away is gone. Fifth Sister might have... eloped..."

  "Run away?" Jiujie's face changed instantly, and she said solemnly, "Qing Xiang, stop right there, don't believe it casually, and don't spread it around, did you hear me?"

  "I understand!" Qing Xiang hastily said.

  The ninth sister was still not at ease, and again carefully instructed Qingying, also letting Qingying call all the people in the house, with a stern face one by one instructing, especially to Qingtao and a quick-witted little maid called Lü'e were severe, until everyone in the room was nervous and anxious, only then did she stop.

  The ninth girl felt inexplicably tired, and since she hadn't slept well the night before due to the commotion in the mansion, she suddenly felt a splitting headache and was extremely uncomfortable. She then sent all the maids away and prepared to take a nap.

  But in a half-dreaming and half-waking state, I suddenly had a nightmare ——

  In her dream, the fifth sister was running on a winding mountain road, with a big snake chasing after her. Just as the snake was about to catch up, it opened its bloody mouth and bit down on the fifth sister, swallowing her whole... She was so scared that she woke up immediately.

  Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, she calmed down for a while before lifting up one corner of the curtain. When her gaze fell on the westward slanting sunlight outside, she couldn't help but furrow her brow and sigh, then got up.

  "Miss..." Qing Xing heard the voice and walked in.

  "Qing An, bring me my cloak and let's go out for a while!" She turned to instruct Qing An.

  "Go out?" Qing Xing was taken aback for a moment, "But miss... isn't your head still hurting?"

  "Hurry up!" Jiuniang didn't respond, she just urged her on.

  Her head hurts of course, but... some things still have to be done!

  She and Qing'an first went to San Furen's place, but San Furen was not there, she was in Yanshoutang.

  It's also true that during this chaotic time, Third Madam wouldn't be able to stay in the house and must be with Old Lady.

  The ninth sister naturally didn't want to go anywhere, but when it came down to it, she could only grit her teeth and take a trip.

  "Miss, the old lady and madam are discussing important matters, you'd better come another day!" Sure enough, she was blocked at the door.

  "Mother Fang, I have something important too!" In the past, she wouldn't dare disobey the proposal of this veteran from Yan Shou Tang, but today was an exception.

  Looking at the slender and delicate girl in front of her, looking at those soft yet determined shining eyes, Mrs. Fang was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded.

  Although she had mentally prepared herself beforehand, Jiu Si Er still couldn't help but secretly wipe away her sweat due to the oppressive atmosphere in the room at this moment.

  Mrs. Zou didn't say a word, but smiled first. The fourth wife, Zhen, also didn't speak nonsense, the second wife, Miao, had red eyes, her mother-in-law, Jiang, was also full of worry on her face. Everyone sat silently with their heads bowed.

  The leader Li Taijun's face was even more unsightly, originally with a dignified face, now tightly strained, cold and stern, making people dare not look straight at him.

  The ninth sister did not dare to be negligent and hastily gave a solemn bow to everyone.

  Everyone's eyes fell on her, and Jiang asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say you were tired? Why aren't you resting in the house?"

  After hearing this, Jiuniang felt that her stepmother and she really had a few points of spiritual connection.

  "I was going to take a nap, but I had a nightmare and woke up. I went to my mother's place, but she wasn't there, so I came here." Jiuniang explained softly to Jiangshi.

  Chiang nodded in agreement.

  " Ninth sister, what's the matter that you won't come here and tell your mother about it?" Zhen Shi couldn't help but speak up, while trying to please Li Taijun.

  Jiang's face changed color and he quickly looked up at Lady Li.

  "Indeed, Fourth Aunt!" Jiuniang quickly responded to Zhen Shi with a sentence, then knelt down in front of Lady Li under the deep suspicion of everyone, "Grandmother Taikun, Xiaojiao knows that what she is going to tell you today is absurd, so she apologizes first. However, this matter is indeed suspicious and concerns important issues, so Xiaojiao dare not deceive!"

  "Oh..." Not only did it pique everyone's curiosity, but Li Taijun also said, "Tell me more!"

  "Xiao Jiu just fell asleep and had a dream, in which the ten-mile-long Langya Hill south of the city was covered with blooming flowers, and Fifth Sister was sitting among the flowers, admiring herself in a mirror and combing her hair..."

  "Ah..."

  Her words were extremely influential, and everyone who heard them was momentarily stunned, then looked at each other in dismay.

  But Ninth Sister said after finishing, then sat on the brocade stool moved over by Cui Feng, took over the tea handed over by Cui Ping and lowered her head to drink, as if indifferent to everything.

  "Isn't dreaming of a young unmarried woman dressing in front of the mirror a sign of marriage...?" Zhen Shi couldn't help but blurt out again.

  The old lady's gaze swept over sternly, frightening Zhen Shi into sudden silence.

  The second Mrs. Miao heard this sentence, her eyes flashed, stood up, walked to the side of Mrs. Li, and whispered a sentence in her ear.

  The old lady's face changed several times, and she looked at Mrs. Miao.

  Miao said something in a low voice, and the old lady frowned instantly, her face sank to the bottom, but after a moment of silence, she still nodded.

  Seeing this scene, Jiuniang's heart couldn't help but relax a little.

  She is limited in her ability and can only do so much, as for whether she can help her cousin or not, that depends on luck.

  In the plum forest, Xugugu's words of hesitation that day, plus what she saw yesterday, naturally allowed her to infer the current situation of Wujie.

  She didn't know what kind of hero the fifth sister admired, nor did she know how to deal with this matter. She estimated that the fifth sister also didn't know, so it could only rely on luck.

  Alas...

  After all, it's too blind, this kind of courage, just hoping that the other party is a gentle and loving person, even if it's just being a concubine, it can still fulfill Eldest Sister's wish.

  But if it wasn't... wasn't... she didn't dare imagine...

  After a while, Jiuniang naturally knew the meaning and bid farewell to Laotaijun. She believed that for the next step, the top leader still needed to consult with several high-level officials.

  The old lady nodded, her gaze was full of complexity as she looked over.

  The ninth sister couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, how could she deceive this old man who had been struggling all his life with her tricks?

  I hope this matter can be resolved perfectly, and the Wen family can save face, otherwise... at that time, it's not just her, but also the days of the Wen sisters will not be easy.

  But soon, Ninth Sister discovered that her plan had fallen through. The next morning, Weiyuan Wang sent someone to bring Fifth Sister back, saying something unknown. After the person left, Second Master Wen Chonghu was furious and Old Lady fell ill...

  ……

  Is there a male lead like Yang family's people in Weiyuan Wang? Hehe...
