The smart Jiang Yuyan guessed something and asked Su Qing softly.

“No, I told her to do something else.”

Su Qing knew that Jiang Yuyan cared about Xiaoying, but Xiaoying’s disappearance could not be known to anyone. An unmarried girl’s reputation was more important.

Otherwise, even if there were nothing, rumors would spread. Tartan was a royal family, and there was no room for any blemishes when marrying.

“Oh!”

Jiang Yuyan didn’t believe it, but since Sister Su Qing didn’t want to tell her, she couldn’t ask. She frowned and hesitated whether she should leave or not. The source of this ᴄontent ɪs ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

In the end, Jiang Yuyan decided to stay and leave two days later to ensure that Xiaoying was fine.

Su Qing didn’t know what Jiang Yuyan had told her parents when she returned. She returned to the government office, and the people she had sent to look for Xiaoying had returned. When they saw Su Qing, they hurried over to report. “Young Madam, we went to the cemetery and didn’t see Miss Xiaoying. There were no footprints in front of the grave.”

“Young Madam, I didn’t find Miss Xiaoying.”

Su Qing frowned. Xiaoying didn’t go to her godmother’s grave to pay her respects, nor did she send Jiang Yuyan off. Something must have happened on the way to these two directions.

‘Who’s on duty in the morning?”

Su Qing asked the two guards at the door.

“We just came over in the morning. The person on duty last night has already gone to rest.”

The two guards hurriedly reported.

“Did you see Xiaoying go out?”

Su Qing asked them.

“When we took over, we saw Miss Xiaoying leaving with a bundle in her hand.”

One of the guards hurriedly replied.

Xiaoying had left with her bag, so she must have gone to send Jiang Yuyan off. That meant that something had happened on the way to Jiang Yuyan.

Go and find the patrolling soldiers on East Street.”

Su Qing ordered them to call the patrolling soldiers over. The patrolling soldiers took over their shifts around the same time as the guards in the government office. Su Qing was prepared to ask them if they had seen Xiaoying and if they had found anyone suspicious in the past few days.

Soon, the head of the patrol was found. He didn’t know why the young madam was looking for him. He looked very nervous.

Did you see Xiaoying when you led your troops on patrol today?”

Su Qing asked him directly.

Young Madam, I saw Miss Xiaoying walking on the street with a bundle. She seemed in a hurry and ignored me when I greeted her.”

Hearing that Su Qing was asking about Miss Xiaoying, the head of the patrol team heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that he did not make a mistake.

“Did you find anyone suspicious during your morning patrol? Also, did any strangers enter the city in the past two days? Who were they? Have you checked? When did you meet Xiaoying?”

Su Qing was even more confident that Xiaoying had been robbed on the way to Jiang Yuyan’s house. She needed to confirm the time to determine if Xiaoying was still in the city.

” Young Mistress, I met Miss Xiaoying at the beginning of the morning. It’s been about an hour since then. Many new faces have been entering the city these few days. They are all commoners attracted by the city’s fame or fleeing from it. There are records of all the strangers who come to the city gate. I’ll get the records if Young Mistress wants to see me.”

The head of the patrol immediately reported. This was Xiao Zeyu’s idea Many people were coming, and all strangers entering the city had to be recorded for safety reasons. Are they here to visit your relatives or to escape?

If they were refugees, they would all be arranged in one place, with special guards guarding them to ensure that spies couldn’t sneak in.

Those who wanted to join the family had to write clearly who they would join, and their relatives and friends had to come personally to pick them up.

It was Xiao Zeyu’s method that ensured the prosperity and stability of Mo City. “Alright, give it to me.”

The more anxious Su Qing was, the calmer she became. An hour ago, Xiaoying should still be in the city. As long as she was in the city, it would be easy. She had to search every house to find her.

Soon, the soldier brought the records of the people who had entered the city for the past few days for Su Qing to check. Su Qing looked through them. About a hundred people had entered Mo City in the past few days. They were all relatives, and there were very few refugees

“Check these people in lodging.”

Su Qing ordered people to check on these people who came to visit their relatives. She also sent people to investigate the refugees to confirm if the new refugees were still under her jurisdiction.

The soldiers received the order to investigate. Su Qing returned to the government office to see if Xiaoying had returned. It was best if it was just a false alarm! Xiaoying may already be waiting for her at home!

Su Qing returned to the government office full of hope but disappointed. Xiaoying hadn’t returned. She had disappeared into thin air.

Now that she could confirm that Xiaoying was missing, Su Qing was anxious. The joy of being pregnant was washed away by Xiaoying’s disappearance, leaving only anxiety.

Su Qing couldn’t leave the government office and had to wait for the news from the various forces. She sat in the study with a dark face, wondering who could take Xiaoying away.

Could it be a spy sent by Wan Yulin? On the one hand, he sent troops to attack Luo City; on the other, he sent people to capture Xiaoying to coerce Shuisheng into submission. The possibility of this was very high.

Wan Yulin was determined to get Luo City. His goal was not just Luo City but the iron ore and coal mines behind Luo City. According to Wan Yulin’s human nature, he could do even the most despicable things.

‘Xiaoying had fallen into their hands and was in danger!’

Su Qing became even more anxious. She couldn’t sit still. The last time she was so upset was when Wan Shengchang’s people took away Xiao Chen. This time, it was Xiaoying. She was the person she cared about the most.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about Qiu Yongkang. He was very obsessed with Xiaoying and killed her godmother for her. The one who caused trouble in the Northern Barbarians last time must have been him. After that, he blew up the secret passage and disappeared.

However, she felt that with Qiu Yongkang’s meticulous thinking, he would not have walked into the trap if he survived. He would escape, so the possibility of being alive was not high.

However, Su Qing did not let her guard down. She sent people to investigate the refugees to find out if Qiu Yongkang had infiltrated Mo City.

The wait was too long. Su Qing couldn’t sit still and decided to go to the refugee settlement. When she arrived, all the new refugees had been found and counted. There was no shortage of people.

Xing Ruhai personally interrogated them. Su Qing listened from the side and felt that Xing Ruhai’s interrogation was very skillful. If a spy snuck in, he would give himself away under interrogation.

Su Qing ordered the soldiers to wash the faces of these people with disguising potions to prevent anyone from disguising themselves. After an investigation, a few suspicious people were locked up in the government office for further investigation, and the rest were sent back.

These refugees were uneasy, terrified, and helpless. They heard that Mo City was good, so they came over. Why did they arrest people as soon as they arrived?

The investigation went on from morning to afternoon, but there was nothing. Su Qing had to return to the government office first. The servants brought food, but Su Qing had no appetite at all. Xiao Qi made egg soup for her. Su Qing barely ate a bowl when she heard the guard outside report,”

“Young Madam, General Li is back!”

When Su Qing heard that General Li had returned, she hurriedly let him in.

“How is it? Were there any suspicious refugees who came to visit their relatives?”
