Chapter 264 Mr. Xue is missing
When Mrs. Wang and others entered Lixiang Courtyard, they saw seven or eight yamen runners in the courtyard, all of them looked ferocious.
The steward of the Xue family was busy entertaining people and had laid out a table with delicious tea and snacks, but they seemed to be ignoring him and could not even give him any money.
Lai Da came with his men and managed to appease the yamen runners, asking them to wait with peace of mind.
Mrs. Wang was furious upon seeing this. She really had offended the lucky star today and had a bad luck. How dare the yamen runners from Shuntian Prefecture be so presumptuous as to come to the Jia family and cause trouble?
These yamen runners were like wolves and tigers, and they were unreasonable. However, the yamen runners brought by Lai Ma were reasonable and left as soon as they were told to.
Is there something fishy going on here?
Madam Wang frowned. She called Zhou Rui's wife over and whispered, "Go and ask which family reported Lai Madam?"
"Is it worth mobilizing so many people to deal with the case of a servant's servant?"
There was a hint of doubt in Mrs. Wang's voice, "Be careful to carry Lai Da on your back!"
Zhou Ruijia was shocked when she heard this. She asked Mrs. Wang in a low voice, fearing that Lai Da might hear it.
"Madam, you are suspicious of that old thing, Nanny Lai."
"Eat it inside and out."
Servants are divided into different levels, and the Lai family is the best among the servants, at the top of the tower.
She has her own mansion, garden, and a group of servants. Her grandchildren are fed, clothed, and treated just like the ladies of a wealthy family.
Moreover, his grandson even gave up his official title and donated money to become an official.
If the old man were not still a slave, he would be treated as a master when he went out and be treated well by the old lord.
When a servant reaches the status of Lai family, the master has to give him face. It is something that many servants would envy.
Envy, jealousy and hatred are all connected.
Zhou Rui's family was extremely excited to be able to find some flaws in the Lai family.
If there is a vacancy in the Lai family now, she will be the first to take the position.
"Ok!"
After she promised Mrs. Wang, she took advantage of the time when Lai Da was not around and ran directly to several yamen runners and questioned them one by one.
The more she asked, the more she frowned. Finally, she ran back in panic, "Ma'am, they said they hadn't heard of it."
"Those who are involved in your house will know that there is such a person as Master Xue."
"But they also said that maybe someone else took the call privately."
As soon as Zhou Ruijia finished speaking, Mrs. Wang's head buzzed and the Buddhist beads in her hand almost fell to the ground.
She realized that she might have made a big mistake and thought to herself, "Oh no! I was too careless!"
She quickly ordered,
"Hurry up and have someone catch up with the two bailiffs that Lai Mama took away and see where they came from."
"And those two living dead, where are they going to take them?"
"If the Lai family really dares to deceive people, then they have really thrown their dignity for several lifetimes to the ground. I must let them know what a true slave is."
"People who have forgotten their roots for too long are prone to rebel."
At this point, she glared at Zhou Ruijia, as if Zhou Ruijia was the one who betrayed her master.
She could cut their veils in two with one glance.
Zhou Ruijia couldn't help but shudder. She didn't have time to figure out what Mrs. Wang meant, so she quickly ordered someone to follow her.
……
The bailiffs waited for a long time and the tea was changed several times.
Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng both sent people to look for him.
He went to all the places in the capital where Xue Pan often went out to play.
No, no, still no.
Aunt Xue was standing by, wiping her tears constantly, while Xue Baochai was frowning as she comforted her mother.
Kneeling below were several servants who had been following Xue Pan.
Madam Wang glared at the servants.
"Tell me where you all went?"
The servants looked at each other and gave out a variety of names.
From brothels to alleys, casinos, etc.
In short, there are places for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Mrs. Wang became angrier and angrier as she listened.
This sister is too indulgent to her child.
How can there be good people in a place like this?
Thinking of this, she frowned and continued to ask,
"So what has Mr. Xue been busy with these days?"
Several servants hesitated.
Madam Wang shouted, "Hurry up and tell me."
Two servants said with bitter faces,
"These past two days, the old man said he was bored and still worried."
"Let's just follow him around."
"But he wanders around the Lin family every day."
"Hide in a tree and watch."
"Lin?"
"Which Lin family? Lin Ruhai's family?" Mrs. Wang asked gritting her teeth.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai also stared at the two servants.
The two servants nodded their heads in fear.
"So he went missing at the Lin family today?"
"Have you gone to the Lin family to ask?" Mrs. Wang's eyes were filled with anger.
The two servants looked hesitant.
"Not today. We ran into Master Zhen as soon as we went out today."
"Uncle Zhen said he was going to take our grandpa to a good place."
"Our grandfather followed him after hearing that."
"You useless thing, why didn't you follow?" Aunt Xue also came to her senses and questioned the servant.
"Where is Mr. Zhen? Is he back?" Xue Baochai added.
The two servants kowtowed, "Master said that we don't need so many people to follow us, so we only let Shuangxi and Shuangshou follow us."
When Aunt Xue heard these two names, she sat down on the chair dejectedly.
"Go and see if Master Zhen is back?" Mrs. Wang ignored Aunt Xue's pain.
She ordered the people who followed her to find Jia Zhen.
My sister can't handle the situation either. Maybe it's because she plays too wildly and has a strong desire to play for too long.
Aunt Xue looked at her sister with flickering eyes, but she didn't dare to speak.
Xue Baochai's expression also changed from bright to dark, and I wonder what she was thinking.
……
"Master Zhen hasn't come back yet?"
"Uncle Zhen hasn't been home since yesterday."
The man who went out to look for Jia Zhen brought back these two sentences, and a man from Ningguo Mansion followed him.
Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was with Jia Zhen, everything would be fine. So she continued to ask,
"Didn't Grandma You ask someone to look for her?"
The man from Ningguo Mansion replied, "Second Madam, how would Grandma know about this Master's affairs?"
"Our great grandmother just needs to live her own peaceful life."
"Isn't it common for men to go out and play for a day or two?"
"As long as there is no trouble at home, who cares!"
"And our great grandmother said that if you lose someone, don't come looking for us. We know nothing about it."
"If we are short of manpower, we can send someone from our grandmother's place."
This Youshi is just a breathing dead person, a clay Buddha, who doesn't care about anything.
Let Jia Zhen do whatever he wants outside.
Mrs. Wang was speechless. It was difficult to handle someone who didn't care about anything like this.
She waved her hand to dismiss them, and when only she, Aunt Xue, and Xue Baochai were left in the room,
She turned to Aunt Xue and said, "Sister, you are too worried."
"Maybe nothing happened. Look at Mrs. You. Jia Zhen made a big fuss but she didn't care."
"I will have someone tell some yamen runners first, and when they come back, we will notify the yamen."
"With the Jia family as guarantor, I think Shuntian Prefecture will not refuse to give this face."
Aunt Xue did not agree immediately. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly grabbed Mrs. Wang's hand.
"Sister, you have to help me. I think something happened to him."
"Because he's not the only one missing here. We went back to your mother's house with you two days ago."
"I asked my brother for a few more people, too."
