Chapter 73: Youve Only Just Disappeared

  That night, the entire Feng manor, except for the injured Shen and Feng Zi Hao, set out in full force to search for the missing Feng Yu Huang and Feng Zi Rui. The old lady even had someone carry a sedan chair to follow along.

  It was Feng Chenyu who first discovered that Feng Yuhuan and her brother had been kidnapped. She said she slept until midnight, suddenly feeling suffocated in her chest, and had no choice but to get up with her maid to find Feng Yuhuan for help. However, when they arrived at Feng Yuhuan's residence, they only found a housekeeper named Wang Chuan, and no one else was present.

  Feng Chen Yu didn't even ask what was going on, and directly shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's not good! Second sister has been kidnapped!"

  This shout awakened the entire Feng manor.

  Feng Jin brought all the Feng family members to search for them in the back mountain, only because Feng Chenyu said that there were monks from the temple everywhere in front, and the thieves would not be able to pass through the front.

  But after searching for a long time in the mountains behind, I didn't even see half of a person's shadow.

  Everyone in the Phoenix Manor stopped in the forest, the torches lit up half of the mountain slope as if it were daytime. Feng Chenyu's face was pale, one hand tightly covering his heart, a worried look on his face, and even tears welled up in his eyes.

  "What's going on? If Second Sister can't be found, what to do?" The words were full of concern, and it really sounded like an older sister who doted on her younger sister.

  Feng Xiang Rong had taken the antipyretic medicine given by Feng Yu Huan and was feeling much better. At this moment, she was also standing with An Shi, who was tightly holding onto her hand, fearing that if anything unexpected happened again, she would lose another daughter.

  Ke Xiang Rong looked at Feng Chen Yu for a long time, and after a while, she whispered to An Shi's ear: "Why don't we go look somewhere else? It seems like we've been following Big Sister all the way here."

  An was taken aback, and after thinking carefully again, it seemed that Rong had indeed said something like this. Along the way, Chen Yu had been acting very anxiously, and everyone was following her footsteps to search for him, but the scope wasn't too broad.

  She wanted to remind Feng Jin Yuan to look elsewhere, but heard Han Shi say in a low voice: "In the middle of the night, being kidnapped by someone, no matter whether you find it or not, I'm afraid Miss Er's reputation..."

  An's eyebrows tightened, she knew that because of Fen Dai's injury, Han Shi must have hated Feng Yu Heng.

  In fact, without Han's reminder, everyone understands this truth. A girl from a big family was kidnapped in the middle of the night and still hasn't been found until now, what does that mean? Even if Feng Yu Heng returns safely, who would believe it if she told them?

  The old lady sighed heavily and looked up at the sky, saying: "What kind of evil has our Feng family created?!"

  Feng Jin Yuan hastily consoled her: "Mother, don't worry, we're still searching." But although he said so, he was still at a loss. He sent out four secret guards to investigate, but none of them found any news.

  The fish sank, covering its lips and sobbing lightly, but its eyes were searching around without stopping. Unfortunately, the vast night sky reflected in the firelight had no shadow of Feng Yuexia.

  They didn't know that the land they were standing on was actually where Feng Yu Heng and her two companions had fought with those masked black-clothed men. It was just a fleeting moment, everything came and went in an instant, leaving behind only the faint smell of blood in the air and some hidden traces that were hard to detect in the darkness, what else could be found that was out of the ordinary?

  "Master," she said, walking forward. "Let's split up and search again. We were in such a hurry to circle around the back mountain that we didn't even get to search some places!"

  "Feng Chenyu cried out with a sob: 'An Niang, this is the most likely route, there are monks guarding the front mountain, the thieves must be heading to the back mountain!'"

  An Shi did not want to argue with Feng Chen Yu, and only reminded Feng Jin Yuan and the old lady: "The second young lady followed our family out together, now she's gone missing, when the Royal Palace investigates, who can take this responsibility?"

  Because her children went missing at the same time and was on the verge of collapse, Mrs. Yao finally spoke up, no longer as weak and vulnerable as before. With one word, her voice revealed endless sharpness - "If the Feng family can't do their best to find Ah Huang and Zi Rui back, then I'll go ask for help from the Wen Xuan Wang Fu. Forget River Sun Nian! Let's go back!"

  Mrs. Yao was about to leave, the old lady became anxious, "Do your best! How can you not do your best? Those are my grandson and granddaughter, tonight I'll dig three feet underground if I have to find them for me!"

  The old lady showed her attitude, and Feng Jin Yuan had no choice but to give the order again: "Search the mountain! Don't let go of every corner!"

  A group of people from the Feng family were about to disperse, but they saw several monks rushing over from the direction of Pu Du Temple with lanterns. They stopped in front of Feng Jin Yuan and asked in confusion: "Amitabha Buddha, may I ask, sir, what's going on? Why are you all gathered here at midnight?"

  Feng Yuanyuan originally didn't want to disturb the monks in the temple, after all, this wasn't something worth making a fuss about. Even if Feng Yuhuang's disappearance couldn't be found tonight, he planned to seal off the news and quietly search for her. If all else failed, he would simply claim she had died of illness, but under no circumstances could it be leaked that Miss Feng had been kidnapped. Otherwise, not only would the Feng family's reputation be damaged, but he also wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Imperial Palace!

  But unexpectedly, someone didn't think so. Under the gaze of Feng Chenyu, Han Shi opened his mouth first and said to the monk: "Don't deceive the master, it's our family's second miss who was kidnapped tonight, we've been searching for half a night but can't find her."

  Feng Jin Yuan glared fiercely at Han Shi, scaring her into shrinking her neck. Feng Chen Yu then took over the conversation: "Father shouldn't blame Auntie Han either, how can one speak deceitfully in front of a great master, it's a taboo."

  Jin Zhen looked at the crowd, her mind constantly calculating. She was thinking about whether Feng Yu Heng would get into trouble, and if so, whether her status would be affected. Where should she stand at this time? This was indeed a problem.

  She thought about it, but still felt that no matter how Feng Yu Heng was, just based on the scene where she and Empress Dowager Yao recognized each other today, she already felt more dignified than Shen Fei. At least the people on Feng Yu Heng's side wouldn't lose power for now, and if they could find her as soon as possible, perhaps the situation could still be reversed.

  Then, after Chen Yu finished speaking, she also added a sentence, but it was to ask Chen Yu: "How did Big Miss determine that Second Miss was kidnapped?" While asking, she looked at Wang Chuan with suspicion and continued: "Aren't you the maid by Second Miss's side? You should know where Second Miss and Second Master went."

  Wang Chuan gazed coldly at the crowd around her, a faint, enigmatic smile spreading across her calm face. She then bowed to Feng Jin Yuan and the old lady, saying: "Auntie Jinzhen asked a very good question. I'm also curious - why did Eldest Miss insist that Second Miss and Second Young Master were kidnapped by bandits?"

  This remark stunned everyone, including Yao Shi.

  She saw her grabbing Wang Chuan's arm and asking urgently: "Wang Chuan, are you saying that Ah Huang and Zi Rui haven't lost?"

  The monk replied on her behalf, "Amitabha Buddha, I see that all of you have gathered here to look for someone. But I don't understand, the two young ladies were clearly in the Buddhist hall reciting sutras, why did you come to the back mountain to search?"

  The monk's words were met with a sharp and piercing question from Feng Chenyu: "What did you say?"

  The monk repeated what he had just said, and Feng Chenyu subconsciously murmured a sentence: "Impossible."

  Jin Zhen stepped closer to her and asked, "Why did you say it's impossible?" She was truly grateful that she had stood up for the team again, Second Miss was indeed a genius.

  "Fallen fish." Feng Jinyuan's face also fell, he felt that his usually sensible and obedient daughter was a bit off tonight.

  Phoenix sank fish suddenly clear, hurriedly said: "I am happy for my second sister." After finishing, he asked the monk again: "The two little phoenix masters you mentioned, are they my second sister and second brother?"

  The monk replied: "It is a ten-year-old girl and a five or six year old boy."

  "Right! It must be Ah Huang and Zi Rui." She was in such a hurry that she didn't even bother to call the second young lady and gentleman, but instead called out the names of the two children directly.

  Han felt uncomfortable and reminded: "Sister Yao, don't break the rules."

  The old lady waved her hand, and the annoyance in her heart disappeared instantly: "Ah! Ahuang and Zirui turned danger into safety, this is a great good thing, let's put the rules aside for now."

  Wang Chuan corrected the old lady in a timely manner: "Where is the crisis turning into safety? The second young miss and the second young master were originally going to the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures, where did the danger come from? It was the eldest young miss who came to the second young miss's room at midnight, without asking any questions, she saw that there was no one in the room, and loudly shouted that the second young miss had been kidnapped. I really can't understand it."

  Feng Chenyu was left speechless by her words, and seeing Feng Jin glare at her, she hastily defended herself: "My daughter was also acting on impulse, who would have thought that Second Sister would be reciting scriptures at night?"

  Wang Chuan said again, "The second young lady said that recently there have been many things happening in the mansion. She just returned to Beijing from the northwest not long ago and should make more of an effort for this family. That's why she brought Second Young Master here to recite scriptures and pray for blessings all night." As he spoke, he looked at everyone, "Isn't coming to Pudu Temple precisely to pray for blessings for the Feng family?"

  The first sentence made everyone's face turn red with shame.

  Feng Jin saw that people had already fallen, and he hastily ordered a full retreat.

  The crowd followed the monk back to the Buddhist hall of Putuo Temple, and indeed saw Feng Yuexiang and Feng Zirui kneeling on a cushion with their hands clasped together in sincere prayer. Next to them was a young monk striking a wooden fish while reciting scriptures.

  Before long, the scripture came to an end. Hearing a commotion outside, Feng Yu Heng pulled Zi Rui around and saw that everyone in the Feng manor was standing at the door of the Buddhist hall looking towards her, and she couldn't help but let out a cold smile.

  Do you think she was kidnapped?

  Is anyone laughing secretly?

  I'm really sorry, I let you down.

  She pulled Zi Rui out the door, feigning surprise and asked Xiang Fengjin Yuan: "Father, why are you all here? Are you also here to recite scriptures?"

  Feng Jin Yuan looked at his daughter with difficulty, to be honest, he was a bit skeptical of Wang Chuan's words, even if the monk had confirmed it, he still had doubts. But looking at Feng Yu Huang, he couldn't see any flaws either.

  "Has Ah Huang been praying for blessings in this Buddhist hall all along?" he asked his daughter in front of him.

  Feng Yu nodded: "Yes. From the night I went up, I've been here all along, and several masters can testify to that. Why is Father asking this?"

  Feng Jin Yuan shook his head, "It's fine as long as nothing happened."

  Feng Yu Fan asked back: "Father thinks Ah Huan will have what kind of matter?"

  Feng Jin Yuan was stunned and didn't respond.

  "It's late, you should get some rest." Feng Jin Yuan didn't want to talk to her anymore and turned around to leave.

  It wasn't until he returned to his own room that a dark guard appeared, standing in front of him and respectfully saying: "Master, twenty corpses were found on the back mountain, all of whom are killers from Yanwang Temple."
