That night, aside from the injured Shen Clan and Feng Zi Hao, everyone in the Feng manor moved out for the sake of finding the missing Feng Yu Heng and Feng Zirui. The matriarch even ordered people to carry a soft chair and follow them.
Speaking of, Feng Yu Heng and her brother being kidnapped was discovered by Feng Chen Yu first. She only said that she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her chest in the middle of the night. With no other choice, she could only get up and bring her maidservants to find Feng Yu Heng for help. But when she arrived at Feng Yu Heng's residence, she found that there was only Wang Chuan inside. There was no one else.
Feng Chen Yu did not even ask what the situation was, as she directly shouted at the top of her lungs: "Not good! Second sister has been kidnapped! "
This shout woke everyone in the Feng manor.
Feng Jin Yuan brought everyone in the Feng family to the back of the mountain because Feng Chen Yu had said that the front was filled with monks from temples. It was impossible for the kidnappers to have escaped from the front.
But after searching the back of the mountain for the majority of the night, not a single person could be seen.
Everyone in the Feng manor stood in the forest. The torches illuminated half of the mountain as though it was daytime. Feng Chen Yu's face was pale, as she held her chest with one hand. Her face was filled with worry, and there were even tears in her eyes.
"What should we do? If we can't find second sister, what should we do? "Her words were filled with concern, as she truly sounded like an elder sister who loved her younger sister.
Feng Xiang Rong had eaten the medicine that Feng Yu Heng had given her, so she felt much better. At this time, she was standing with An shi. An shi tightly held onto Xiang Rong's hand, fearing that she would lose her daughter as well.
But Xiang Rong continued to look at Feng Chen Yu. After a long time, she whispered into An shi's ear: "Why don't we look to the side? It seems that we followed eldest sister the entire way here. "
An shi was startled then carefully thought back. It seemed that what Xiang Rong said was true. Along the way, Chen Yu appeared to be very anxious. Everyone followed her as they searched, but the area was not too wide.
She wanted to remind Feng Jin Yuan to look elsewhere; however, she heard Han shi faintly say: "Being kidnapped in the middle of the night, regardless of whether or not it can be found, I fear that second young miss' reputation …"
An shi furrowed her brow tightly. She knew that because of Fen Dai's injury, Han shi most likely hated Feng Yu Heng.
Actually, there was no need for Han shi to remind her. Everyone understood this logic. A girl's house had been robbed in the middle of the night and they still hadn't found her. What did this mean? Even if Feng Yu Heng came back safe and sound, who would believe it?
The matriarch heaved a heavy sigh and looked up to the sky: "What kind of sin has my Feng family committed!"
Feng Jin Yuan quickly consoled her: "Mother, don't panic. Aren't we still looking?" But although he said this, he still did not have a clue. He had sent out four secret guards to investigate, but none of them had found anything.
Chen Yu covered her mouth and gently sobbed, but her gaze continued to search all around. Unfortunately, in the boundless darkness of the night, there was not even a shadow of Feng Yu Heng.
In truth, they did not know that the Feng manor's people were currently standing on was the place where Feng Yu Heng's group of three had fought with the masked men in black. In the blink of an eye, everything had come and gone in a hurry. Aside from the smell of blood that filled the air and the traces that were hard to detect in the darkness, there was not the slightest trace of anything else.
An shi saw that Feng Jin Yuan did not have any ideas and could not help but become anxious, "Husband." She walked forward, "Let's spread out and continue searching. Earlier, we were only focused on going around the back of the mountain. There were many places that we did not search!"
Feng Chen Yu said with a sobbing voice: "Concubine mother An, this is the most likely path. The front of the mountain has a monk on night watch. The thief must have run to the back of the mountain."
An shi did not want to argue with Feng Chen Yu. She only reminded Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch: "Second young miss came out with our family. Now that she has gone missing, if the Imperial Palace Yu pursues this responsibility, who can shoulder it?"
Because her children had gone missing, Yao shi, who was on the verge of collapse, spoke up. She was no longer as weak and easy to bully as before. Opening her mouth, her voice was filled with a boundless fierceness "Since the Feng family cannot do its best to find Heng Zheng and Zirui, then I will go ask Wen Xuan Palace for help. Wang Chuan, granny Sun! Let's go back! "
Yao shi pretended to leave, causing the matriarch to become anxious, "Do your best! How can you not do your best! Those are my grandson and granddaughter. Tonight, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find them! "
The matriarch had made her stance clear, so Feng Jin Yuan could only give another order: "Search the mountain! Do not miss a single corner! "
Everyone in the Feng family was about to disperse; however, they saw a few monks carrying lanterns from Pu Du Temple quickly walk over. Arriving in front of Feng Jin Yuan, they stopped and asked in confusion: "Amitabha, may I ask benefactor, has something happened? Why are you not sleeping so late at night? "
Feng Jin Yuan originally did not want to disturb the monks of the temple. After all, this was not something worthy of being publicized. Even if Feng Yu Heng's disappearance could not be found tonight, he planned to seal the news and slowly search in secret. In the worst case scenario, he would simply say that she died of an illness. Either way, he could not allow news of the Feng family's young miss being kidnapped. Otherwise, not only would the Feng family's reputation be damaged, he would also have no way of explaining himself to the Imperial Palace Yu!
But there were people that did not think this way. Han shi, under Feng Chen Yu's gaze, spoke up before Feng Jin Yuan, replying to the monk: "Not to hide it from the great master, it was our family's second young miss that was kidnapped tonight. We searched for half a night but could not find her."
Feng Jin Yuan fiercely glared at Han shi, causing Han shi to shrink back in fear. Feng Chen Yu, however, continued: "Father, do not blame concubine mother Han. How can she lie in front of the great master. This is a taboo."
Jin Zhen looked at everyone, as she continued to ponder in her mind. She was pondering whether or not something would happen to Feng Yu Heng. If something really did happen, would her position be affected. At a time like this, which side should she stand on? This really was a problem.
But after thinking it over, she felt that regardless of what happened to Feng Yu Heng, based on the scene of Yao shi and Princess Wen Xuan being recognized, she felt that it was much more dignified than the Shen Clan. At the very least, the people on Feng Yu Heng's side would not lose power. If she could be quickly found, perhaps the situation could be reversed.
Thus, after Chen Yu finished speaking, she followed up with a question, asking Chen Yu: "Eldest young miss, how exactly did you determine that second young miss was kidnapped?" As she asked, she looked at Wang Chuan in confusion and continued: "Aren't you second young miss' servant? You should know where the second young miss and second young master went. "
Wang Chuan coldly looked at everyone around him, as a mysterious smile appeared on his cold face. He then saluted to Feng Jin Yuan and the matriarch, saying: "Concubine mother Jin Zhen asked a very good question. This servant is also curious. Why is eldest young miss so certain that our second young miss and second young master were kidnapped?"
These words caused everyone to be stunned, including Yao shi.
She grabbed Wang Chuan's arm and anxiously asked: "Wang Chuan, you are saying that Heng Heng and Zirui were not lost?"
This question was answered by the monk on her behalf: "Amitabha, so benefactors gathered here to search for someone. But this old monk does not understand. Benefactors Feng were clearly in the temple chanting scriptures the entire time. Why did you come to the back of the mountain to search? "
The monk's words were met with a sharp question from Feng Chen Yu: "What did you say?"
The monk repeated what he had just said, and Feng Chen Yu subconsciously muttered: "Impossible."
Jin Zhen stood a little closer to her and asked: "Why does eldest young miss say it's impossible?" At this moment, she was truly rejoicing that she had chosen the right side. The second young miss truly had heaven-defying abilities.
"Chen Yu." Feng Jin Yuan's expression also sank. He felt that his daughter, who had always been obedient, was a little off tonight.
Feng Chen Yu immediately became clear-headed and quickly said: "I am happy for second sister." After saying this, she unwillingly asked the monk: "The two benefactors Feng you spoke of, are they my second sister and second brother?"
The monk replied: "They are a girl around ten years old and a boy around five or six years old."
Yao shi let out a long sigh: "Right! It must be Heng Heng and Zirui. "In her rush, she did not have time to call them second young miss and second young master. She simply called the names of her son and daughter.
Han shi heard this and felt uncomfortable, so she reminded her: "Sister Yao, do not break the rules."
The matriarch, however, waved her hand, and the irritation in her heart immediately disappeared: "Ah! Heng Heng and Zirui have been saved. How great of a thing is this. Let's set the rules aside for now. "
Wang Chuan timely corrected the matriarch: "How could it be saved. Second young miss and second young master were originally going to the temple to chant sutras. Where did the danger come from? It was eldest young miss that came to second young miss' room in the middle of the night. Upon entering, she did not even ask this servant. Seeing that there was nobody in the room, she loudly shouted that second young miss had been kidnapped. This servant is truly puzzled. "
Feng Chen Yu was rendered speechless by her words. Seeing Feng Jin Feng glare at her, she anxiously defended herself: "Daughter was also anxious. Who would have thought that second sister would chant sutras in the middle of the night?"
Wang Chuan continued: "Second young miss said that many things have happened in the manor recently. She had only just returned to the capital from the Northwest, so she ought to contribute to the family. Only then did she bring second young master to chant sutras in the middle of the night." As he spoke, he looked at everyone, "Coming to Pu Du Temple, was it not for the sake of praying for the Feng family's fortune?"
These words caused everyone's faces to turn red.
Feng Jin Yuan saw that their whereabouts had been determined and quickly ordered everyone to withdraw.
Everyone returned to Pu Du Temple's temple under the guidance of the monk. Sure enough, they saw Feng Yu Heng and Feng Zirui kneeling on prayer mats. Their hands were clasped together in prayer. At their side, there was a young monk who was striking a wooden fish while chanting sutras.
Not long later, the chanting of scriptures came to an end. Hearing some movement outside, Feng Yu Heng pulled Zi Rui and turned around. Seeing that everyone in the Feng manor was standing outside the temple and looking in her direction, she could not help but sneer.
Did they think that she had been kidnapped?
Was someone secretly laughing?
I'm truly sorry to have disappointed you.
She pulled Zirui and walked out the door. Pretending to be surprised, she asked Feng Jin Yuan: "Father, why are you all here? Did you also come to chant sutras? "
Feng Jin Yuan looked at his daughter with disbelief. Truthfully speaking, he had some doubts about Wang Chuan's words. Even if the monk had confirmed it, he still had his doubts. But when he looked at Feng Yu Heng, he could not see any flaws.
"Has Heng been praying in this temple the entire time?" He asked his daughter before him.
Feng Yu Heng nodded: "That's right. She has been here the entire time since night fell. The masters can testify. Why does father ask this? "
Feng Jin Yuan shook his head, "It's good that she is fine."
Feng Yu Heng asked: "What does father think happened to Heng?"
Feng Jin Yuan was stunned and did not answer.
"It's very late. You should rest early." Feng Jin Yuan did not want to continue speaking with her. Turning around, he left.
Only after he returned to his room did a hidden guard appear. Standing before him, he respectfully said: "Master, 20 corpses were found in the back mountain. They were all assassins from Yama's Palace."
