Bei Moxue sneered, a sly look flashing across her face. "It all depends on whether you have the ability and the luck to tattle."
Hearing this, A Ru suddenly had a bad feeling. Was Bei Moxue going to kill her right under everyone's noses in the General's Mansion?
Bei Moxue was just looking for an outlet for her anger. It was just A Ru's bad luck to have bumped into her. She thought that nothing could make Mu Fengqie more desperate than losing her loved ones.
"I warn you not to act recklessly. This is the Qin Dynasty and the imperial capital, not Beiming. Do you know who I am?" A Ru said as she stepped back.
She didn't know what this crazy woman Bei Moxue might do, so she had to buy herself as much time as possible to escape.
Bei Moxue simply ignored A Ru. She was just a poor relative of Mu Fengqie. There was nothing to be afraid of.
"Lexue, take this person away and make sure no one else sees or knows about it, got it?" Bei Moxue ordered.
Lexue showed a sinister smile and slowly approached A Ru. A Ru opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, she was knocked out by Lexue.
Lexue had been by Bei Moxue's side for many years and had learned some martial arts. Although it was just basic skills, it was more than enough to deal with A Ru.
Mu Fengqie didn't see A Ru's figure all morning. She thought A Ru had gone off to play somewhere again. But when A Ru still hadn't come back by dinner time, Mu Fengqie found it very strange.
Jing Xunce came back on time at dusk. There was no sign of Mu Fengqie in the house. He instinctively panicked and started frantically searching for Mu Fengqie in the yard. Finally, he found her as he wished.
He nervously hugged Mu Fengqie. "Where did you go? Don't ever let me lose sight of you again, okay?"
Mu Fengqie was stunned for a moment and then patted Jing Xunce on the back to soothe him. "I'm fine. By the way, have you seen A Ru? I've been looking for her for an hour. A Ru is not an irresponsible child. She would always tell me if she was going out. And I've asked the servants in the mansion, and none of them saw A Ru go out."
Mu Fengqie was on the verge of tears. After losing Xiao Qing and her child, she was more and more afraid of losing the people around her. Especially since her uncle and aunt had entrusted A Ru to her, she couldn't let A Ru get hurt.
"Don't be afraid. I'll send people to look for her. Not many people in the imperial capital know A Ru. She should be fine. Maybe she just went out to play on a whim. I'll definitely find her. Don't worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, he sent the people from the secret guard to look for A Ru. But after more than an hour, they still hadn't found her. Now both of them were panicking.
There was no sign that A Ru had gone out. The maid also said that the last time she saw A Ru, she was clamoring to come and find Mu Fengqie.
Thinking of this, Mu Fengqie suddenly had an epiphany. The time period the maid mentioned was exactly when Bei Moxue came to offer her tea and left!
Could it be that A Ru had met Bei Moxue on the way and was taken away by that woman?
After realizing this possibility, Mu Fengqie couldn't help shivering. That woman was simply a devil. If A Ru really fell into her hands, it would be very dangerous!
Mu Fengqie didn't care about anything at this moment and rushed straight to the Plum Garden. She would never allow such a thing to happen again. She must ensure A Ru's safety!
Bei Moxue had already heard the rumors in the General's Mansion about people looking for someone, but she remained calm. She also guessed that it would eventually come to her Plum Garden. When she saw the figures of Mu Fengqie and Jing Xunce, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up. Sure enough, they came!
She walked out with a smiling face to greet them, but her eyes were always on Jing Xunce. Every part of Jing Xunce was so perfect. No man in the world could compare to him.
"Husband and sister, why have you come to my Plum Garden? Sister looks so anxious. Is something wrong?" Bei Moxue asked pretending to be innocent.
Mu Fengqie had been secretly observing her, watching her reaction. Although she hadn't noticed anything strange yet, her sixth sense told her that A Ru must have been taken away by her.
"Where is A Ru? Did you hide A Ru?" Mu Fengqie asked fiercely.
For a moment, she wished she could kill Bei Moxue on the spot. But for the sake of the overall situation, she had to swallow her anger. It was really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to speak of the bitterness.
Bei Moxue pretended to be surprised and asked, "A Ru? You mean the young lady in the mansion! What did sister just say? How could it be me who hid her?"
"Stop pretending. It must be you. If you dare to hurt her, I will definitely take your life. Even if it means going against the whole of Beiming, I will kill you. Don't think I'm afraid. Even a cornered rabbit will bite!"
Mu Fengqie clenched her hands tightly into fists, allowing the sharp fingernails to dig into the flesh of her palms. But the pain in her palms was nothing compared to the hatred in her heart.
"I don't understand what sister is saying. Maybe that little girl just went out to play on a whim. Sister, don't just pin the blame on me. How could a living person just disappear in broad daylight?" Bei Moxue said with a smile.
Looking at her malicious smile, Mu Fengqie found it extremely dazzling. "I'm warning you one last time. Don't hurt her, or you'll regret it! Just you wait. I always keep my word!"
Originally, Mu Fengqie was still unsure if A Ru was here. But seeing her arrogant attitude, she was sure that A Ru had been hidden by her.
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed inside regardless of Bei Moxue's obstruction and started searching the yard. But after searching for a long time, she didn't see A Ru's figure, nor did she hear any strange sounds.
This was what puzzled Mu Fengqie the most. Judging from her attitude, A Ru must have been hidden by her. But why couldn't she find A Ru in the yard? Could it be that she had already transferred A Ru to another place?
Why did Bei Moxue take A Ru away? Was it just to take revenge on her?
Thinking of this, she suddenly regretted her behavior of making things difficult for Bei Moxue today. If she had known, she would have protected A Ru better. She was such a useless sister.
She wasn't a qualified mistress, a qualified mother, or a qualified sister. If she couldn't find A Ru, she felt like she was about to collapse.
"Sister, now you know I'm not joking, right? Husband has also seen that I'm innocent. Husband missed our wedding night. Can you stay with me tonight?" Bei Moxue winked and casually put her hand on Jing Xunce's body.
Jing Xunce took a step back, putting some distance between them. "I have things to do. I won't come here tonight, and I won't in the future either."
