The story is divided into two parts. Let’s say that Lu Yuan and Yuan Yongyi went out together that day and never came back.
In fact, his family had already gone to look for him the next night. However, Lu Yuan didn't say where he was going when he went out, and he was not used to bringing an entourage, so they didn't know where he was going to look for him.
In the past, Lu Yuan had tried to go out for two or three days before coming back, but he usually had an explanation. This time he disappeared without even saying a word, which was really worrying.
Therefore, when the Lu family couldn't find him, they sent someone to the Yuan Mansion to ask if he had been here.
The Yuan family invited Yuan Yongyi to come out and ask. Yuan Yongyi said that she had indeed gone out with Lu Yuan two days ago, but she had not seen him yesterday or today.
The person who came to report from the Lu family said: "Our young master just didn't go home the night before yesterday."
Yuan Yongyi was shocked, "He disappeared the night before yesterday? Does that mean he never came back after I went out with him the day before yesterday?"
"No, the young master went out at noon and has never come back since then," said the slave of the Lu family.
Yuan Yongyi thought of what the old man at Shanshen Temple said, and her heart suddenly jumped wildly.
Could something really happen?
After the Lu family slaves went back to report, Mrs. Lu came over in person and asked them where they had been that day, what they had done, and whether they had offended anyone.
Yuan Yongyi told everyone one by one, and even told them that they had agreed to break off their engagement.
Mrs. Lu is a violent person. After hearing this, she immediately became suspicious of Yuan Yongyi, "Why would he want to break off the engagement? There are only so many days left for your wedding. You must be making nonsense. I think you want to regret the engagement."
Right? You said something nasty to him? He just walked away, right?"
Yuan Yongyi defended: "Madam, I swear, it was Brother Lu who said that we are not suitable..."
"Brother Lu?" Mrs. Lu became unhappy when she heard this and said with a long face, "You, a woman from a boudoir, actually call a man brother and sister, and he is still your fiancée. How is that inappropriate?"
When the old lady of the Yuan family heard this, she was not happy either. She made a face even longer than hers, "Why can't a woman in the boudoir call a man a brother? And that man was her fiancé. Mrs. Lu had never had a kiss with Mr. Lu in the past.
Didn't you call me brother Lu when you were young? You can call me brother Lu, but you can't call me brother Lu? Doesn't this mean that only state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps? "
After Mrs. Yuan heard about the breakup, she was secretly anxious. She thought about asking her granddaughter later, but she never thought that Mrs. Lu would say such unpleasant things. She was extremely protective of her shortcomings, so she didn't care about the breakup and retorted on the spot.
Woke up.
Mrs. Lu heard Mrs. Yuan's words and felt that she had gone too far. However, she was worried about her son's disappearance and heard about the divorce. She really couldn't control her temper for a moment, but she was also a cultivated person.
, after realizing that he was reckless, he hurriedly apologized to the old lady.
Mrs. Yuan was not unreasonable either. After Mrs. Lu apologized, she did not persist in pestering him and said: "Now it is more important to find the number one scholar first, but have you ever gone to the homes of his acquaintances to look for him?
"
Mrs. Lu said melancholy: "I have looked for him, but no one has seen him. He has never come back since he left that day. Although he went out to stay for a few days in the past, he was either with someone or would come with his family in advance.
I told you, I haven’t tried for a few days and I can’t find anyone and I don’t know where to go.”
Yuan Yongyi thought of what the old man from Shanshen Temple said again, and was secretly panicking, but she didn't dare to say it out loud to scare Mrs. Lu, so she suggested: "Why don't you go to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case first?"
When Mrs. Lu heard that she wanted to report a crime, she became even more panicked, "Could something really happen?"
Mrs. Yuan comforted her: "Don't think too much. Reporting a crime does not necessarily mean that something happened. The government has a wide range of people. Ask the government to check at major inns or at the city gate. At least you can know whether he has left the city."
Mrs. Lu thought about it and said to the old lady: "Old madam, how about we wait until we find Lu Yuan and ask for details about breaking off the engagement?"
"It's important to find someone. Madam, please go quickly. Our Yuan family will also send people to search everywhere." The old lady said.
Mrs. Lu saluted gratefully, "Thank you very much!"
Yuan Yongyi personally sent her out, comforted her with a few words, and watched her get on the carriage and leave. Then she immediately came back to find her grandmother and told the old lady what the old man from the mountain temple had said.
After hearing this, the old lady frowned and said, "You can't trust the words of a sorcerer. I'm afraid I saw you donating the sesame oil money and trying to trick you, so I can't trust you."
"But," Yuan Yongyi frowned, her brows filled with deep worry, "Where will he go? According to the Lu family, he sent me back that day and did not go home. That is,
He said, in fact, he disappeared after leaving the door of our house."
The old lady stood up on crutches and comforted her granddaughter, "Xu went to a friend's house to play. As a young man, where is the Zhan family? Don't think too much. Grandma will send someone out to look for her right now."
After saying that, Mrs. Yuan went out and ordered people from the mansion to go out to look for Lu Yuan.
Yuan Yongyi thought something was wrong, and after spending some time with him, she knew that he was not a person without explanations, so she was afraid something must have happened.
Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still, so she went to Prince Chu's Mansion and called Ah Si and Man'er to go out and look for him together.
Yuan Qingling was a little worried when she heard that Lu Yuan was missing. She told Tang Yang and asked Tang Yang to send out soldiers to look for him.
The Lu family went to Jingzhao Mansion to report the crime. The person who went to report the crime was Lu Hu, the eldest son of the Lu family. The person who received Lu Hu was King Qi, the chief registrar of Jingzhao Mansion.
King Qi asked clearly about the cause and effect. Lu Hu talked about Yuan Yongyi's announcement of breaking off the engagement. King Qi actually felt a little secretly happy in his heart.
He thought that Lu Yuan might have broken off the engagement and couldn't think about it for a while, so he went elsewhere for a walk, but he didn't tell Lu Hu about this, and only told Lu Hu that Jingzhao Mansion would send people out to look for him.
After Lu Hu left, he reported the matter to Fu Cheng. Knowing that Wu Zhuangyuan was missing, Fu Cheng was quite nervous, so he sent someone out to check to see if Lu Yuan had left the city.
Yu Wenhao came back in the evening, and King Qi told him that Lu Yuan was missing.
Yu Wenhao drank a large pot of cold water and looked back at him after hearing his words, "Have you sent someone to look for it?"
"Fu Cheng sent someone out." King Qi leaned over and said in a low voice, "People from the Lu family said that before Lu Yuan disappeared, Big Fatty just told him to cancel the engagement."
"That look on your face, does it mean you're happy?" Yu Wenhao slumped down on his chair from exhaustion, glanced sideways at him, and asked angrily.
King Qi jumped up and sat on the table, "I'm a little happy."
"Didn't you say you want to bless others? Why are you still happy? Where is your nobility? Where is your pride? Where is your generosity?"
"Let them go to hell, they are not as important as Big Fatty." King Qi raised his hand and smiled like a spring breeze, "If we really break off the engagement, I will ask her to change her mind again. When the time comes, I will personally apologize to Lu Yuan."
He was talking to himself, and when he saw Yu Wenhao lying on the table next to him as tired as an old dog, he obediently walked to him and rubbed his shoulders and back, "Brother, are you tired? From the Bingtu map.
