After Lo Pingsha sent the County Princess away, he felt uneasy.

After thinking about it, he decided to look for Duke Lang.

Xiao Juan couldn’t help but frown when he heard Lo Pingsha finish what happened.

“Didn’t I tell you not to tell Niaoniao about this?”

Lo Pingsha knelt on one knee. “It’s my fault. I’m willing to be punished.”

Now was not the time to pursue this. Xiao Juan stood up. “I’ll go back first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”

He was very worried about Niaoniao now, afraid that she would let her imagination run wild and take all the responsibility. He had to go back and talk to Niaoniao.

However, when Xiao Juan returned to the Lanjun Imperial Palace, he was told that Niaoniao had not returned.

Xiao Juan was anxious.

If Niaoniao didn’t go home, where else could she go?

He first went to Qirui Garden and did not see Niaoniao in the theater. Then, he rode to the Yu Residence.

Yu Kangtai happened to be at home. When he heard that his son-in-law was here, he hurriedly brought his son out to welcome him.

However, before they could greet him, he heard Xiao Juan ask hurriedly.

“Is Niaoniao at home?”

Yu Kangtai and Yu Sheng were stunned.

They looked at Xiao Juan in confusion.

“Isn’t Niaoniao in the Langjun Imperial Palace?”

As soon as he saw them like this, Xiao Juan knew that Niaoniao had definitely not returned to her parents’ house. He turned to leave, but Yu Kangtai stopped him.

“Your Highness, did something happen to our Niaoniao?”

Xiao Juan said, “Niaoniao is gone. I can’t find her anywhere.”

Yu Kangtai said, “Could she have gone out to play? She used to run out to play. When she was done, she would naturally go home.”

Xiao Juan said, “It’s different this time. It’s impossible for Niaoniao to go out to play.”

With that, he got on the horse.

Because his movements were too big, the wound on his back was affected and the pain suddenly came.

He couldn’t help but stiffen, and his expression turned even uglier.

However, he had no intention of finding a physician o take a look. He flicked his horsewhip as if nothing had happened and rode away.

Yu Kangtai and Yu Sheng stood there looking at each other.

Yu Sheng was a little uneasy. “Did something really happen to Sister?”

Yu Kangtai felt that nothing would happen to Niaoniao. That girl was very smart and had a lot of evil ideas. Only she could cheat others. Very few people could cheat her.

However, Duke Lang’s expression just now was really terrifying, as if something big had really happened.

Yu Kangtai could not make up his mind for a moment. Yu Sheng suggested, “Why don’t I go out and help look for her?”

Yu Kangtai thought for a moment before saying.

“I don’t have anything to do today. Bring more people and we’ll look for her together.”

Yu Sheng immediately agreed. “Okay.”

Yu Kangtai instructed, “Keep a low profile when we look for her. Don’t let anyone know that we’re looking for Niaoniao, lest outsiders make an issue of something. ”

The Imperial Capital was only so big, and Yu Niaoniao’s identity was so special. If others found out that she was missing, they would definitely spread this matter to the entire city. At that time, even if nothing happened, it would become a big deal.

Wasn’t this how Yu Niaoniao’s marriage with Xuao Juan came about?

Yu Sheng nodded to show that he understood.

Yu Pingping was originally settling the accounts in her boudoir when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. She put down the account book and quickly walked out of the door. When she saw her brother running out with a large group of people, she hurriedly stopped them and asked.

“Where are you going in such a hurry?”

Yu Sheng replied truthfully, “Sister is missing. We went out to look for her.” Yu Pingping immediately panicked.

She picked up her skirt and ran over. “What do you mean missing? What happened?”

Yu Sheng said, “I’m not sure about the details. Just now, Duke Lang suddenly ran to our house to look for Sister and said that she was missing. He left quickly without finding her at our house. Father and I plan to look outside to see if we can find Sister.”

Yu Pingping hurriedly said, “I’ll go with you!”

Yu Sheng was a little hesitant. “As a girl, it’s not good for you to go out and show your face, right?”

Yu Pingping placed her hands on her hips and said aggressively.

“Brother, don’t underestimate me!”

Yu Sheng was in a hurry to find Yu Niaoniao and did not have the time to chat with her. He could only do as she wished.

‘You can go with me, but you’re not allowed to run around. You have to follow me closely.”

Yu Pingping said perfunctorily, “Alright, alright, alright. I understand. You’re so long-winded. Hurry up and leave!”

After the group left the Yu Residence, they began to search the city.

Xiao Juan could not find her himself, so he could only disperse the Eagle Guards and ask them to help find her.

The two sides happened to meet in the city. Yu Kangtai hurriedly asked, “Your Highness, have you found Niaoniao?”

Xiao Juan’s face was dark and ashen. “Not yet.”

This time, everyone felt even more uneasy.

Could something have really happened to Niaoniao?

At this moment, Meng Xizhou hurriedly ran over and cupped his fists at Xiao Juan.

“Your Highness, a spy saw the County Princess leave the city near the east city

Yu Sheng was puzzled. “Why did Sister leave the city?”

Yu Pingpings imagination ran wild. “Could she have been kidnapped?”

Duke Lang had so many enemies. It was possible that they could not deal with him, so they kidnapped the Princess Consort. This was very likely to happen.

Xiao Juan looked at Meng Xizhou and asked.

“Did Niaoniao leave the city alone?”

Meng Xizhou replied truthfully, “The Princess Consort was riding a donkey with a half-grown child beside her. From the description of the spy, it should be Ling Hai.”

Xiao Juan said, “It shouldn’t be a case of kidnapping.”

Yu Pingping asked, “If it’s not a case of kidnapping, why did Sister leave the city? Could it be that she had an appointment with someone outside the city?” As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Kangtai glared at her.

Yu Kangtai scolded angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about? Niaoniao is already married. Who can she ask out? How ugly would it be if word got out!”

Yu Pingping curled her lips. “Who said you have to ask a man out? Can’t it be a friend?”

Yu Kangtai said, “You’re still talking?!”

Yu Sheng looked at Duke Lang and asked seriously.

“Brother-in-law and Sister are husband and wife. You should know her best. Do you know any pls ed outside the city that Sister often goes to?”

Xiao Juan fell into deep thought.

Yu Kangtai muttered softly, “She grew up in Bashu and has only been in the Imperial Capital for two years. She’s unfamiliar with this place. Other than her maiden family and the Langjun Imperial Palace, where else can she go?”

Xiao Juan suddenly said. “Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.”

They all looked at him.

Xiao Juan said, “If we head out of the east city gate and go straight along the official road, we can reach the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.”

Yu Kangtai was puzzled. “Why did Niaoniao go to the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple? She doesn’t believe in Buddhism.”

Xiao Juan said, “She lit longevity lamps for her mother and stepfather in the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple and set up longevity tablets for them.”

Yu Kangtai was stunned on the spot.
