The incident happened suddenly, Bai Yaoyu saw Fang Youzhen looking flustered and anxious, so he offered to let her ride in his carriage.
"What happened?" Bai Zhi’er asked.
Fang Youzhen was forthright by nature, and had almost never cried, but now her eyes were red.
"A few days ago, my father ca ho and ntioned to my brother that he seed to have found the goddess who appeared in his dream back then."
"At that ti, he ntioned a few details, and the other party could match them with the scenes from his dream."
"So today, my father went to the prearranged place with that woman intending to give her the academy’s land deed."
"But unexpectedly, until late at night, only his accompanying steed Honglian, the reddish-brown horse, returned with bloodstains all over its body!"
Upon hearing this, a flash of anger appeared in Bai Zhi’er’s big eyes.
That’s a scamr!
Uncle Fang’s dream goddess is most likely my mother!
The other person posing must have a conspiracy.
Bai Yaoyu furrowed his brows: "It’s said that old horses can find their way; can’t it take you to find General Fang?"
Fang Youzhen shook her head: "If it were that simple, it would be great. Honglian was severely injured and returning was already its best effort; it carried a piece of tattered clothing, and collapsed in a pool of blood."
At this point, Fang Youzhen’s hands trembled as she took out a piece of blood-soaked cloth from her bosom.
The blood stains on it were horrifying.
So much so that Bai Yaoyu instinctively wanted to cover Bai Zhi’er’s eyes.
The little one had already exclaid in surprise: "So much blood, Uncle Fang must have been seriously injured!"
Fang Youzhen nodded, choking with sobs: "My brother has already taken the house guards to search; we originally agreed that I’d wait at ho for news, but there’s sothing that’s been increasingly unsettling ..."
"What is it?"
"My father never told us where he was eting that goddess, and more importantly—" Fang Youzhen’s eyes were filled with deep worry.
"In his early years, my father fought in various battles, and his martial arts skills are undoubtedly strong; for him to bleed so much from his injuries ans the other party is certainly not alone."
Bai Yaoyu nodded, solemnly saying, "At the very least, it’s not just a weak woman."
Fang Youzhen tearfully said, "If the other side ca prepared, even if my brother went, he would only be injured."
"He took people to search in the west; I originally wanted to look in the east, but because I was so uneasy, I bumped into your carriage."
The little one heard, and secretly calculated with her little hand hidden in her sleeve.
Hmm...
The tense expression on her round face suddenly relaxed.
Bai Zhi’er reached out her little hand, gently wiping Fang Youzhen’s tears away.
"Sister Youzhen, don’t worry, Uncle General will definitely return safely!"
The little one suggested: "Third Brother, let’s help Sister Youzhen search together!"
Bai Yaoyu paused for a mont, then said, "General Fang’s fate is unknown, and his whereabouts are unclear; even if we ask Uncle to dispatch the Imperial Guard, we might not find him right away."
"Zhi’er, if you’re really worried, I can accompany Miss Fang to search for General Fang tonight, and you can co help tomorrow after a good night’s sleep, is that okay?"
Bai Zhi’er crossed her arms, her round and cute face full of pride.
"They can’t find him because they’re not using the right thod. If we find a capable person, Uncle General’s whereabouts might be known imdiately!"
Fang Youzhen’s eyes sparkled with hope: "Who is the capable person Zhi’er talks about? I’ll visit them right away."
Bai Zhi’er giggled sweetly: "In Xiuluo Guard, let’s go together!"
Hearing this na, Fang Youzhen was montarily stunned.
Could it be referring to Marquis Wan?
