"Sheng'er, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Su Peijiu smiled and tilted her head to the right, only to find that the doll that had been beside her was missing, causing her heart to skip a beat.
"Sheng'er!" she called out, then asked the maid, "Where is the young master?"
The maid looked confused and panicked as she replied, "He was just here."
"Don't panic, look around; he might just be playing," she tried to suppress her unease, forcing a smile to reassure everyone. As she watched the maid and the coachman quickly disperse, she reached for her hairpin, and with her index finger probing, several shadows immediately darted out.
Sending the Shadow Guard out to search should yield results quickly, Su Peijiu reassured herself. She then headed down the street toward the busier area. Since childhood, Sheng'er had never left her side; despite his adult demeanor, he was still just a three-year-old child. The thought of him not being by her side made her feel hollow.
Her sharp eyes caught sight of a cloth bag at the corner ahead. She approached and picked it up. It was embroidered with a somewhat crooked rabbit. Su Peijiu's previously calm heart suddenly panicked... this was the bag she had embroidered for Jin Sheng. He had teased her about it for a long time, but she had always kept it safe with her and never taken it off. How could it have ended up here?
"Sheng'er... what would I do if something happened to you?" Clutching the bag tightly, she trembled as she called out to the last Shadow Guard beside her: "Go signal at Nan Xie Tower and search for the young master thoroughly. If you can't find him, you all come back with your heads!"
"Yes!"
If anyone dared to harm her Sheng'er, she would make sure they would not die peacefully!
A cold glint flashed in her Water Eyes as she watched the Shadow Guard disappear. Then she leaned against the wall, feeling weak. Before she could catch her breath, a hand wrapped around her waist, and a low voice whispered in her ear: "Come here obediently, or your son will suffer."
Su Peijiu glanced around at her surroundings; she was at the exit of an alley with a wall in front of her, so no one noticed this corner. Having just found that cloth bag at the wall corner made it clear that this was a trap set for her!
If their target was herself, then everything would be easier. She obediently allowed herself to be pulled into someone's embrace as they walked forward. She wanted to see where they were going but was met with a large hand covering her eyes: "Don't try to be clever in front of me."
"Since I'm here, let my son go," she spoke up.
The palm brushed against delicate eyelashes as that person chuckled softly: "Just come with me."
Su Peijiu fell silent. She only thought about not causing trouble for this person and dragging Sheng'er into it.
Listening to that person's words, she turned through countless twists and turns and climbed who knows how many steps before the hand over her eyes finally moved away. A black cloth was then placed over her eyes, followed by her hands being bound.
"What exactly do you want to do?! Where is Sheng'er? Where is my son?"
"Your son is in a very safe place. As long as you stay here obediently, once Jun Ye Su releases my men, you will naturally be safe."
Su Peijiu understood now; it turned out that the frontline war had affected Chang'an. She had gone out without checking the calendar and was kidnapped to be used as a bargaining chip. She sneered inwardly and said self-deprecatingly, "Do you really think I have much value? That I could convince the ruler of the Crimson Kingdom to release your subordinates? Also... my master enjoys using schemes, and I'm not exactly a good person myself!"
She recalled how Qi Mo had deceived Great Yan into opening the city gates. The person before her was probably one of Qi Mo's subordinates, who had kidnapped both her and Sheng'er! Sheng'er was his biological son; this despicable creature!
"If you have the ability, go rob a prison! Kidnapping women and children is not what a man should do!" She thought about how Sheng'er might be scared to tears, making her tremble with anger. In her rage, she blurted out, "Despicable, shameless, filthy scum! If anything happens to my Sheng'er, I will make sure to kill you..."
"That's enough!" The black cloth covering her was pulled away, revealing a relatively young face that looked somewhat familiar. Su Peijiu squinted her eyes, "You bastard, Qi Che!"
"Long time no see, Legitimate Daughter of the Su Family." Qi Che grinned as he tossed the black cloth on the ground. "After several years apart, your verbal skills have improved remarkably!"
"Not as good as Prince Huai, who can blow things up—this isn't something just anyone can do!" Her beautiful eyes were ablaze with anger. Qi Che was alive; the Qi Family were all cold-hearted people. Who did he really want to save? Why go through all this trouble to kidnap her to this place?
This was none other than the Yuan Cang Su Family Minister's Residence, which had fallen into disrepair and neglect.
"Enough nonsense. Hurry up and write a letter to your uncle; release my people, or you and your son will die!" Qi Che spoke with a joking tone, but there was an underlying seriousness. He seemed more mature than three years ago, with an even heavier aura of killing intent—something that those who survived the battlefield often carried.
It seemed he had gone straight to join Qi Mo after blowing things up; together they had taken over quite a few cities and territories.
"Your people?" Su Peijiu provocatively stepped forward two paces, looking at Qi Che's youthful face until she was close enough to lean against him, tilting her head to stare into his eyes. "Does that matter?"
"Will you write it or not?" Qi Che grinned without pushing her away and uttered a single sentence.
Su Peijiu gritted her teeth and huffed, "Have you never considered the implications of dragging me into this?"
Qi Che raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that you really have been in hiding these past few years?"
Hiding? Of course not! She had prepared everything that needed preparation, just waiting for the right moment!
“Su Peijiu, you must save this person, or you will have to save them! Sheng'er’s safety is entirely in your hands…”
A brush was suddenly thrust into her hand.
Unlike the tense atmosphere here, across several alleys at Yard, Le Yun was staring eye to eye with a kid.
“Didn’t your mother tell you that staring at a girl like that is very impolite?”
Jin Sheng tilted his head and then reached up to touch his chin: “Mother only said not to touch girls' chests or butts.”
Le Yun: “…” What kind of fierce mother is this?
“Mother also said not to casually touch boys' chests and butts, and definitely not to kiss casually. If you kiss, you have to take responsibility.” White Jade’s face was very serious.
“So big sister, when you were hugging me just now and touched my butt, what are you planning to do about it?” His tone was completely accusatory.
“You still…” Le Yun twitched the corner of her mouth: “Whether I take responsibility or not has nothing to do with you.”
“Indeed, Mother was right; the prettier the woman, the more she shirks responsibility.” The child turned away, looking dejected.
Le Yun had never dealt with children before and felt a bit anxious. She reached out to press on the kid's shoulder, only to see him smirking slyly. Then a cloud of smoke floated past her eyes, and she instantly lost consciousness…
Indeed, the cuter the child, the more deceptive they can be!
“Master…” Shadow Guard descended from the tree and knelt before Jin Sheng.
Jin Sheng pouted while holding a porcelain bottle: “Sister A Qian’s medicine is indeed effective. Next time, we need to get more so that no one tries to meddle with me.”
Shadow Guard: “…”
“What about my mother?”
Shadow Guard had an unnatural look on his face: "After the master went missing, the master also went missing." He didn't know why he dared not lie to the child in front of him.
"Take good care of that big sister lying on the ground. We'll head back first."
"Understood." Shadow Guard stepped forward to carry Jin Sheng in his arms, then pressed a few acupoints on Le Yun before grabbing her collar and sweeping away into the distance.
...
With her hands bound, her writing was naturally not neat. After being criticized by Qi Che for her poor handwriting, she sat down under the Flower Tree. After Qi Che sent the letter out with his subordinates, he looked at her carefree demeanor and felt a surge of anger: "Hey!"
"What's up?" she replied indifferently.
Qi Che was furious: "You really have no sense of humanity! What kind of attitude is this?! Aren't you afraid I'll tear up the ransom note?"
"If you have the ability, go ahead and tear it up." Su Peijiu suddenly stood up, startling Qi Che, who stumbled back several steps before steadying himself. He then saw the Elegant woman with red eyes: "If even a single hair of Sheng'er is harmed, I will make sure you, Qi Che, pay for it!"
"There are so many hairs; how can you count them..." Qi Che muttered, silenced by her fierce gaze.
After a while, he sluggishly realized that he was actually the kidnapper. "Don't you want to know about my Fourth Brother?"
"As long as it's not news of his death, I don't want to know anything."
"You heartless woman!" Qi Che shouted angrily, but then his expression changed instantly as he laughed: "My Fourth Brother has missed you very much over the years; he has long wanted to catch up with you. Anyway, thank you for letting me release my Fourth Brother."
Release Qi Mo?
So Jun Ye Su actually captured Qi Mo!
She widened her eyes in shock and saw Qi Che walking away. Around her began to gather a group of strong women who grabbed her and locked her in a House.
The place was filled with dust and cobwebs, and sunlight couldn't penetrate inside. She despondently looked around and then started to bite through the cloth binding her wrists. However, the fabric was quite tough; her gums began to bleed, and she hadn't managed to break even a little bit of it. Feeling defeated, she gave up.
"Let me out!" She kicked the door hard, and the long-neglected door shook twice before crashing down in front of her...
Is this easy?
The door fell, but the gatekeeper did not. Looking at the two burly women at the entrance, Su Peijiu chuckled awkwardly, "There's too much dust in the house; I can't breathe well. I just want to get some fresh air..."
A Woman: "Is the house cleaned up?"
Otome: "It should be cleaned."
A Woman: "The master is coming soon."
Otome: "So hurry up and send it over."
"Okay."
Before the words were finished, Su Peijiu was knocked unconscious by a slap and fell into A Woman's arms, who then casually tossed him over her shoulder like a sack...
