Mr. He carefully ordered Xu Yi and Xu Er to do something.

Xu was not surprised at all and seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, while Xu Er was expressionless and nodded in agreement as Master He said.

After arranging everything, Mr. He slowly went back to the house to sleep.

On the morning of the second day, the housekeeper arranged a carriage early. Mr. He and Doctor Qin had breakfast alone and then sent him away in the carriage.

He Xue couldn't help but sneer when she heard the news the little maid inquired about: "I guess he's just a mud-legged guy from the country. My father is kind-hearted and brings back all the cats and dogs, so I don't need to worry about him."

He Xue was in a good mood. After thinking about it, she asked the maid to dress her up and went out shopping.

In the following days, He Xue lived a very comfortable life, and Mr. He's face was still as usual, and he was also very concerned about He Xue.

He Xue became even more relaxed. On this day, when she woke up in the morning, she casually called out: "Mother Ji." However, unlike usual, she could not hear the response from Mother Ji.

He Xue murmured in her heart and called her several times, but she still didn't see Mother Ji coming. Instead, a little maid ran in from the door, knelt on the ground and explained softly: "Miss, Mother Ji is going early today." Zhuangzi."

He Xue suddenly realized that she had just told Ji's mother yesterday to ask her to go to her farm to see how the harvest was this year. As for others, she was worried.

"Oh, get up, I understand." He Xue raised her hand.

The little maid withdrew, and He Xue felt a little unable to sit still. She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy in her heart. She thought it was too hot in the room, so she asked someone to bring an ice basin in.

However, with the ice basin in the room, the boredom in He Xue's heart was not relieved at all.

"Miss, why don't you go for a walk? I heard that Cuiyun Pavilion has recently launched a new set of tricks!" A little maid who was waiting nearby suggested.

Cuiyun Pavilion is one of the best clothing and jewelry shops in Fucheng. Ladies and ladies from wealthy families love to go there.

When He Xue heard this, she didn't know where she could sit, so she immediately asked the little maid to arrange the sedan chair, and she wanted to go out.

After a while, He Xue dressed up neatly and went out in a soft sedan.

On Zhuangzi, Mother Ji has just arrived.

Zhuangzi was prepared for He Xue by Mrs. He when she married He Xinning's father. Zhuangzi was very large, surrounded by thousands of acres of fertile land and nearly a hundred households.

As soon as Ji's mother arrived at Zhuangzi, she saw Zhuangtou and his wife coming over with a smile.

Ji's mother is a little picky about Qiao, she is here on behalf of the young lady. Although Zhuangtou and Zhuangtou's wife are in charge of the entire Zhuangzi, to put it bluntly, they are also servants of the He family.

"Mother Ji, you're here. Come inside and have a sip of hot tea first." Mrs. Zhuangtou said flatteringly with a smile on her face.

Mother Ji glanced at her indifferently, hummed, and without saying anything else, she walked in and sat on the main seat.

Zhuangtou and his wife Zhuangtou looked at each other, their eyes a little aggrieved, but they did not dare to get angry, and instead waited patiently on Mother Ji.

After drinking a few sips of tea, Ji's mother asked a few general questions about Zhuangzi, and then said that she was tired and wanted to rest.

Mrs. Zhuangtou quickly took Mother Ji to the room that had been prepared.

After Lady Zhuangtou left, Mother Ji sent the two maids who were following her away and stayed alone in the room.

Just as she was about to lie down, someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose from behind. Mother Ji was shocked and wanted to struggle, but the other person's knife was pressed against her waist.

In an instant, she rolled her eyes and fainted, not knowing whether she was frightened or something.

When she woke up, she was already in a strange place.

"You slept for a really long time. Now that you've had a good rest, let's settle the score." The man in black held a dagger in his hand and waved it towards Mother Ji a few times.

This was the first time Mother Ji encountered such a thing. She was so scared that her palms became sweaty, but she still pretended to be calm and scolded: "Who are you? Do you know who I am? Where do you have the courage to tie me up?"

In Fucheng, as long as they knew that she was from the He family and that she was the most capable mother around the eldest daughter of the He family, no one would deny themselves face.

Mother Ji really couldn't figure out who sent the man in black who kidnapped her and for what purpose. He even knew his whereabouts so well that he could even touch Zhuangzi.

"Do you want money or something? As long as you let me go, I will give you ten times as much as that person gives you." Mother Ji began to negotiate terms.

The man in black suddenly laughed, shook his head, and was about to slash her face with the knife.

Mother Ji was shocked and panicked for a moment. She secretly cursed the man in black for being greedy and continued: "Fifty times, no, a hundred times. You give me a price. As long as you let me go, I can give you more money." Affordable.”

Like this, the man in black will always be moved, right? Mother Ji thought.

Sure enough, the man in black stopped laughing, became interested, and said, "Mama Ji, you are a slave and you say you can afford it with any amount of money. Do you think I believe it?"

As the man in black spoke, the knife was already pressed against Ji's mother's face. With just a little force, the knife would leave marks on Ji's mother's face.

Ji's mother was so frightened that she peed and burst into tears.

"Okay, good man, don't kill me. I really have money. I also have a house and a village outside. I just ask you to let me go. I will give you whatever you want."

"If you don't believe it, just go check it out. My house is..."

When Mother Ji faced the threat of death, she confessed everything about her house to Zhuangzi.

The man in black took back the knife with satisfaction and said: "If you dare to lie to me..."

Mother Ji shook her head fiercely: "Everything I said is true, good man, just ask someone to check it out. Zhuangzi's house will be given to you. I just ask you to spare my life."

The man in black sneered and walked out.

Ji's mother's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. As long as the other person was trying to make money, she was not afraid.

She then began to take a closer look at the room where she was locked up. The room was not big, but the decoration in the room seemed to be the style of ordinary people in Fucheng. Could it be that this was still Fucheng?

Ji's mother secretly noted it and tried to break free from the rope, but the rope was too tight and she couldn't move at all.

After a while, she was out of breath from exhaustion, and she was so angry that she cursed in her heart. When she got out, she would kill the man in black who kidnapped her!

The man in black had no idea what Mother Ji was thinking, and he was not interested. After getting the news, he quickly left the room where Mother Ji was detained, and went to another room to change his clothes.

When he came out, the man in black turned into Xu Er.

Xu Er's eyes were obscure, and he glanced at the room where Ji's mother was being held, and then told people to watch carefully before walking quickly towards He Mansion.

Along the way, he entered the house avoiding people, went straight to Master He's yard, and told Master He about Ji's mother. Master He made a quick decision and asked Xu Yi to investigate quickly.

Soon, Xu Yi replied. The house and Zhuangzi mentioned by Ji's mother now turned out to be the name of Ji Dafu's wife.
