Chapter 1419: Chapter 1419: Suspicious Fragrance (5)
Zhao Family has always wanted to obtain the Imperial rchant qualification, but unfortunately, the tea produced by their Tea Mountain always falls slightly short in quality. They set their sights on the tea garden on Longjing Mountain, especially the dozen or so old tea trees on Qiu Family’s Tea Mountain, which are of particularly good quality. However, this Tea Mountain was passed down from Qiu Family’s older generations, and Old Master Qiu would definitely not want to sell it. After several unsuccessful negotiations, the matter was dropped. But just over a month later, when Qiu Lei had taken the family’s tea leaves to Leng Family’s tea shop, on his way back, he encountered a beautiful servant girl…
The subsequent events were just as Dong Wenming described.
In the end, even after selling the tea garden, Qiu Family could not get their son back.
The old couple of Qiu Family lost their tea garden and finally had no choice but to live off selling lotus root starch, waiting for their son to be released.
“There’s one more thing, Old Master Qiu’s tea-making skills are very good. Both Zhao Family and Leng Family had wanted to hire him, but he refused…”
“Find a way to get into the prison to see Qiu Lei,” Yang Ruxin nodded. “See what he has to say, and don’t be afraid to spend silver…”
“Okay,” Du Juan nodded.
“Miss, has madam returned yet?” Just then, Yang Miao hurried back.
Yu Qingge, who was embroidering at the door, looked up: “Little Miao, wasn’t your Auntie Wenxiu going to the garden with you? She hasn’t co back yet.”
Yang Miao’s face suddenly turned pale.
“What happened to my mother?” Yang Ruxin quickly ca out.
Yang Miao quickly explained the situation: “We turned around and didn’t see the madam… Zaochun went to check at the old master’s place…”
Upon hearing this, Yang Ruxin imdiately ran out; she knew her mother would never wander off without reason.
Du Juan, seeing the situation, did not leave either and ran out with her.
Yu Qingge also threw down her embroidery fra and followed them.
There was nothing in the pavilion beside the Lotus Pond, but after Yang Ruxin circled around, her expression darkened. Others might not sll it, but she detected a faint fragrance in the air, a suspicious fragrance.
Wenxiu was drugged and abducted.
“Xuxu, Du Juan, you guys quickly go and notify my grandfather and my eldest uncle.” Yang Ruxin’s eyes narrowed slightly, then she called Xiaoyin and Xiaolun over, “Go find my mother…”
After a couple of squeals, Xiaoyin and Xiaolun dashed out.
“Sister, Auntie Wenxiu…”
At this mont, Yang Ruxin could not bother to respond to Yu Qingge, hurrying after Xiaoyin and Xiaolun towards the deeper part of the yard.
The Dong Residence occupies a large area, and the back garden is even more expansive with a huge Lotus Pond and nurous courtyards, but because the Dong Family has few people, many of the courtyards are unused.
Xiaolun and Xiaoyin went straight to the northwestern corner of the courtyard without hesitation. There was a long-abandoned small courtyard there. It was said to have been a flower nursery before, but since a servant who used to take care of the nursery died suddenly from drunkenness here, it had been neglected.
Now, the ground inside was covered with a layer of straw, and Wenxiu was lying on it.
Yang Baiyue exhaled deeply; recently, due to poor health, his strength had diminished significantly, and since he could only use one arm, even though Wenxiu was very thin, it was still very exhausting to carry her over.
Wenxiu had already lost all consciousness, only instinctively feeling uncomfortable all over, wanting to tear at her clothes, wanting to move towards the direction with a masculine scent…
