Li Ruoxuan had always been an action-oriented person, so he went out of the way to invite Qi Qingyao to today’s lunch. He asked, “Do you want to eat together?”

However, Qi Qingyao refused. “There’s no need to eat together. We can eat by ourselves.”

Then, she sat in the room with the three children and ate amongst themselves.

While eating, Qi Qingyao even asked the children to examine the courtyard. “Although we’re kind of like hostages, the guards of this courtyard are stricter than the Qi Residence. We’ll surely sleep well at night.”

Speaking from the perspective of a hostage, it was fairly safe.

Given Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian were a little moribund now, in this situation, the manpower of both parties was present in the courtyard. They were definitely not ordinary people, their basic levels were rank eight and above! This made Qi Qingyao very relieved.

After eating, the little children cried out, “Mommy, we’re sleepy~~”

After Qi Qingyao put the little children to bed, she cleaned up all the medicinal herbs in the room before going to bed herself.

She slept very soundly that night.

She did not even have a dream.

After sleeping until daybreak, Qi Qingyao stretched. She thought to herself that although living in a mansion with the psycho State Preceptor sucked a little because she was a hostage, she did not have to worry about being kidnapped. This made her much more relaxed, and even her sleep became dreamless.

Dabao woke up in a daze and subconsciously wanted to dress Erniu up, but he found that there seemed to be one less person on the bed. Dabao rubbed his eyes and did a headcount—there were still three. Dabao thought that he must have counted wrongly, and Erniu must have hidden behind their mother or fallen off the bed. So Dabao searched all over the bed and even foolishly looked under the pillows. In the end, Dabao turned over and got off the bed, disregarding the fact that he was still barefooted. He lifted the bedsheets and took a glance under the bed, but there was no one. Dabao could only climb back in a daze.

Qi Qingyao had also noticed Dabao’s strange behavior. She glanced around and asked, “Where’s Erniu?”

Dabao shook his head and said he did not see her.

Qi Qingyao said, “Maybe Erniu got out of bed and went to pee.”

Dabao and Xiaobao put on their clothes in a hurry. After they were dressed, they searched around in the room. Dabao came back and said, “No.”

Dabao and Xiaobao looked around the room a few times and said no one either. Qi Qingyao had already gotten up. Not caring about washing her face and brushing her teeth, she put on her robe and rushed out of the room. Seeing the two guards outside the door, she asked immediately.

“Hey you guards, have you seen my Erniu?”

“???”

The two guards were obviously a little confused.

Qi Qingyao explained, “She’s that little girl from the triplets.”

“We have not seen her,” the guards exchanged glances and said respectfully.

Qi Qingyao, “...”

Qi Qingyao could not help scratching her head.

“This is really strange. Erniu was not there when we woke up early in the morning. A whole living person can somehow disappear in thin air.”

She was gone.

Qi Qingyao thought for a while and eventually ran straight to the opposite courtyard, where Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian were both there.

None of the guards in the courtyard dared to stop her.

Zhu Shen wanted to stop her, though.

However, when he saw that lady’s cold eyes and anxious look, and was even muttering ‘liar’ under her breath, he could only inform his Master quickly. Li Ruoxuan, who had always been accustomed to getting up early in the morning, was already awake and was sitting in the room drinking medicine.

After Qi Qingyao entered the room, she said, “Li Ruoxuan, did you secretly let out the knockout smoke last night and take my Erniu away?”

Facing Qi Qingyao’s question, Li Ruoxuan turned his head and asked Zhu Shen, “What’s the matter?”
