Chapter 127 Missing
Chapter 127 Missing
As Wang Cheng said, the eldest princess's manor was in chaos in more than one place. Men in black filled the entire manor. Many people in the garden were frightened and panicked, and many were injured. On the contrary, the people who were boating on the lake were less injured and more frightened. Those who fell into the water were rescued.
Wang Cheng said goodbye to his classmates, and then brought his sister, niece, and the child who had finally wilted to Li Anhe.
He looked around and saw that the Iron Eagle Guards, the Dali Temple, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion appeared at the same time. It seemed that something serious had happened.
Li Anhe glanced at the eldest son and saw that he was soaking wet. He pursed his lips and said, "You are such a person that you are unwilling to take a servant with you when I ask you to go out. Now you don't even have a change of clothes. Fortunately, you are wearing thick clothes now. If someone sees you, how will you live your life in the future?"
"Mom, I'm fine." Wang Cheng replied in a low voice, and then asked, "What happened here that brought so many people here?"
Li Anhe covered his mouth with his handkerchief and said, "Princess Anping is missing."
Wang Cheng frowned. How could it disappear?
He thought of Leng Mengwan, whom he had just met, and the depression in his heart became even stronger.
"Ah, it's my second uncle." Little Yining spotted a tall and strong man passing by in the distance.
"Mom, please wait for me here for a while." Wang Cheng followed Xiao Yining's gaze and found Wang Lin. He left a word and chased after him.
At this time, there was a commotion nearby. A group of eunuchs hurried over. When they saw Wan Niang's second prince, they all knelt on the ground. The leader, Xiao Shunzi, raised his head and said, "Second prince, I finally found you. Come back to the palace with us quickly. The emperor is angry now!"
The second prince's head suddenly stood up, pointing at Xiao Yining and Wan Niang and saying, "Xiao Shunzi, arrest these two people for me. They are disrespectful to me. And arrest that man as well."
Xiao Shunzi turned to look at Xiao Yining: Uh... this person looks familiar...
Little Yining also reacted quickly and complained, "Uncle Shunzi, he called me ugly. Just now my uncle and sister San were injured in order to save him, but he is ungrateful."
Xiao Shunzi: ...How did these two little ancestors meet each other? It’s a headache.
13 glanced at Xiao Yining and nodded slightly. With these words, she would definitely be rewarded.
Sheng Hongtong yelled, "I didn't. Your uncle just threw me into the lake. He was disrespectful to the royal family. Your uncle deserves to die."
"You're talking nonsense. My mother was changing my clothes just now, and you tried to force your way in, so my uncle taught you a lesson. You're a bad guy. I'm going to complain to my uncle." Xiao Yining also retorted loudly.
"I do not have."
"You have."
"I do not have."
"You have."
"..."
"..."
Everyone around was speechless as these two were arguing endlessly.
Li Anhe couldn't listen any longer, and stepped forward to cover Sheng Hongtong's mouth. "Eunuch Xiao Shunzi, please take the second prince back. If my children do something wrong, I will bring them to the palace to apologize."
Xiao Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your help, Princess. I will report this matter to His Majesty without missing a word."
His face turned serious, and he looked at the eunuch behind him and said, "You ignorant thing, why don't you take the Second Prince back to the palace?"
"Yes."
The naughty kid finally left, Xiao Yining finally calmed down a little, and Wang Cheng also came back.
"Uncle, Sister Qing just helped you get revenge." Little Yining raised his little fist and said, "Praise me now."
Wang Cheng, who didn't know what happened, glanced at his mother. Li Anhe whispered a few words to him, and then he said, "Thank you, Sister Qing."
There is obviously something hidden behind the perfunctory words.
Little Yining hid his weirdness and smiled innocently.
This poetry gathering was ruined. Many people were injured in the attack and were interrogated by people from the Dali Temple. Everyone lost interest and didn't even want to go to the Yanjing Lantern Festival in the evening. They just wanted to go home to calm down.
Little Yining sat next to her mother and watched her uncle looking outside nonchalantly. She asked softly, "Uncle, does your arm still hurt?"
Wang Cheng turned around and smiled faintly, "Sister Qing has wrapped it very well. Uncle doesn't feel any pain anymore."
Li Anhe glanced at his eldest son's arm, which seemed to be still bleeding. "You just show off all day long. Come here, I'll rebandage it for you."
Wang Cheng's eyes lit up with smile, "Thank you, mother."
"Hmph, now you're well again and it's okay to bleed." Li Anhe took out the medicine from the secret compartment in the car and rewrapped Wang Cheng's arm. It was many times better than Xiao Yining's.
"That's right, mother. You don't have to worry about big brother anymore now that he's recovered." Wan Niang looked at Wang Cheng and explained with a smile, "Big brother, you don't know that every time you fainted in the past, mother would scold father and second brother severely."
Wang Cheng had never heard of this before. This was the first time he heard of it. He looked at his mother and saw that she was just looking at the bright lanterns hanging outside, as if she didn't hear Wan Niang's words.
Little Yining added, "Uncle, grandma has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She likes you!"
The next moment she was poked in the face.
"It's all nonsense. You're just like your father." Li Anhe said angrily.
Wang Cheng also smiled and said, "Uncle knows that your grandma loves me the most."
"Are you ashamed of yourself? You are so old and still talking nonsense." Li Anhe glared at him.
Wang Cheng touched his nose, looked around, and slapped his head in annoyance. "I left Qingjie's lantern at the villa. Mother, take my sister and Qingjie back first. I will take the lantern back and then go home."
Xiao Yining: Why did my uncle start acting out of the blue?
Li Anhe: "What time is it now? It won't be too late to go tomorrow."
"It's okay, uncle. It's okay. Sister Qing won't be sad." Little Yining also tried to persuade him. It was already dark now, and they might not be able to return home until tomorrow.
"How can we lose the things that Sister Qing sent for the first time? If we go too late, those who are investigating the case might destroy them. You two go back first!" Wang Cheng said firmly and immediately asked the coachman to stop the carriage. No one could stop him.
Little Yining leaned against the car window and was dumbfounded as he watched his uncle running away. Is it really that important?
She was worried in her heart. What had happened that made her uncle lie and leave?
Li Anhe cursed several times angrily, and Wan Niang could only persuade her to calm down.
The carriage was getting farther and farther away, and Wang Cheng also walked out from the darkness, tears in his eyes, and murmured, "Why am I that man's child?"
-
"Wang Cheng, why did you come here to question me today? I am your mother. Don't you even believe what your mother says?"
Wang Cheng stood in the corner in a panic, growling, "Mother, why don't you give me an answer? Why do you keep lying to me? You have disliked me since I was a child. Is it because I am the son of the lover who abandoned you?"
"Snapped"
Li Anhe slapped his eldest son hard, "You stupid lover, your mother has already told you that you are your father Wang Ersheng's child, why don't you believe it?"
"Why do you only listen to that outsider?"
"But I have met Leng Qingnian. I look very much like him. I don't look like my father, nor like you. Why did you lie to me? Since he abandoned you, why did he give birth to me?" Wang Cheng looked up and questioned.
Li Anhe was so frightened by the hatred in his eyes that he took a step back. He was instantly overwhelmed with grief and spat out a mouthful of blood which sprayed onto Wang Cheng's face.
-
"Hey, sir, would you like to buy some lanterns? If not, please don't block my stall!" The vendor behind him pushed Wang Cheng away, and Wang Cheng instantly came back to his senses.
"Boss, give me a golden toad lantern. I'll take it back to please my niece." Wang Cheng quickly took out a few copper coins and said.
The vendor took one look at his gloomy face and thought he was rejected by his sweetheart, so he took the lantern from the shelf and persuaded him, "Today is the Lantern Festival. No matter what, we have to spend the day happily. Young man, some things are not something you can just think about. It depends on how you do it. As the saying goes, nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up. If you are distressed, don't think about it, just let it go. Maybe there is something better waiting for you!"
Wang Cheng took the lantern, thanked him, and watched the sea of people slowly disappear into it.
