Ye Zi’an thought sothing had happened to Yang Chuxia, and suddenly everything went black before his eyes, a tallic taste rising in his throat.
"What, what’s going on?"
Qingqing turned her head and saw her father, suddenly feeling she had a backbone, "Dad, sister is missing, mother fainted."
Hearing that she just fainted, Ye Zi’an breathed a sigh of relief, went ahead and carried Yang Chuxia into the house, and asked soone to call Mu Shaoling.
Just as Mu Shaoling arrived, Yang Chuxia woke up on her own.
Grabbing Ye Zi’an, she said, "Yueyue is missing, how could she just disappear?"
"Mom, sister just vanished suddenly." Qingqing, having cald herself by now, continued, "I was with sister and the guards rushing along the way. When we reached Yun’an Prefecture, a strange wind ca from nowhere, lasting for a full quarter of an hour. We all dismounted and took shelter in the woods, but once the wind passed, sister was gone."
"Weren’t you two always together?" Yang Chuxia asked urgently, "Didn’t she go into the woods?"
"We did go, and we were standing together, but I just don’t know when she disappeared." Qingqing scratched his head, still confused, not knowing how or when she disappeared.
"Where are the guards who were with you?"
"I sent them back to the capital to send news to big brother and second brother."
Ye Zi’an nodded, "I’ll send people to look for her now."
"No, I must search for her myself."
"I’ll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi’an imdiately instructed soone to prepare the horses.
Mu Shaoling, seeing this, also sent his people out to help in the search.
For a while, the entire Great Zhou was secretly looking for the eldest daughter of Marquis Changning’s Mansion.
However, after two full months of searching, there was not a single piece of news, as if she had evaporated from the earth.
"Mom, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t urged them to return to the capital, Yueyue might not have encountered such a thing."
Having searched for two months in Yun’an without any news, Yang Chuxia fell ill, and Ye Zi’an had no choice but to leave a team behind and take Yang Chuxia back to Funan.
Upon hearing that Yang Chuxia was ill, both Lele and Yangyang returned.
"Mom, it’s my fault, not big brother’s. I was with sister, if I had watched over her more closely, perhaps she wouldn’t have been lost." Qingqing lowered his head, wiping his tears, "Mom, I’m sorry, why wasn’t I the one who got lost?"
"Nonsense!" Yang Chuxia leaned against the headboard, beckoning her sons closer, grabbing Lele with one hand and Qingqing with the other, "Don’t say such things. Each of you is precious to , losing one would carve out a piece of my heart."
"No one could have anticipated Yueyue’s situation. If soone must be held accountable, your dad and I are also responsible for not keeping you all by our side."
"Mom... sob..."
Yang Chuxia wiped Qingqing’s eyes with a handkerchief, "Alright, stop crying, you’re all grown-ups now, it’s embarrassing to still shed tears, isn’t it?"
"All sit down, mom wants to tell you sothing."
Yang Chuxia’s expression was sowhat serious, while Ye Zi’an roughly guessed what she wanted to say.
In fact, during the few days back in Funan, Ye Zi’an had considered such a scenario as well, otherwise, it couldn’t explain the sudden disappearance without any signs.
Ye Zi’an went outside, instructed people to surround the small building completely, and forbade anyone from approaching before returning inside.
Nodding at Yang Chuxia, Yang Chuxia slowly began, "I, your mother, am not from this dynasty, rather a wandering soul that suddenly ca into this world..."
