On the street by Wanli Lake, two people were walking in the crowd. One was wearing a blue shirt and a jade crown, looking dignified, and the other was wearing a purple robe, looking strikingly handsome.

They were both good-looking, especially the purple-clothed youth. His movements were elegant and noble, and the faint smile on his lips made the surrounding women glance at him from time to time.

“How long are you going to follow me?” Xie Jingxing asked.

Su Mingfeng shook his head. “As good friends, we naturally have to spend time together on such a rare occasion. Why do you sound so unhappy?”

!!

“I still have something to do.”

“How many men have we not been to the Jade Rabbit Festival together?” Su Mingfeng was dissatisfied. “You’re really becoming more and more mysterious.”

Today, Su Mingfeng came out with the Su family and happened to meet Xie Jingxing alone, so he dragged him to join them. The Su family and the Xie family were on good terms, so Mr. Su did not say anything. At this moment, Mr. Su and the others were walking in front, and Su Mingfeng and Xie Jing were walking behind.

Su Mingfeng asked, “Your father isn’t angry that you came out alone again today?”

The Jade Rabbit Festival was typically an occasion where the entire family would participate together, but Xie Jingxing was clearly by himself. Xie Ding was probably furious at this moment, but there was nothing he could do.

“With his two sons accompanying him, why does he need me?” Xie Jingxing said casually, “I’m not that free.”

Su Mingfeng shook his head. “You’re quite carefree.”

As he spoke, he saw a group of people walking over. Su Mingfeng was stunned. “Isn’t that General Shen?”

Xie Jingxing looked up and saw Shen Xin rushing over. Following closely behind him were Shen Qiu and Luo Xueyan, and behind them were a group of guards. Everyone’s expression was very solemn and nervous. Su Mingfeng rubbed his chin and said, “It seems like something happened to the Shen family. Why do they all have such expressions?”

In the crowd, the expression of the Shen family was in sharp contrast to that of the rest of the people. Without a doubt, something bad had happened. Mr. Su also saw them and stopped chatting. Xie Jingxing and Su Mingfeng did not go forward and just stood far away, observing.

Mr. Su asked, “General Shen, where are you going?”

“Ha, I’m just looking around.” Shen Xin said, “It’s just that my wife suddenly feels unwell, so I have to go back first. Mr. Su, have a good time.” With that, he cupped his hands and left without looking back.

The Shen family and the Su family were not on good terms when it came to political opinions. Seeing that Shen Xin did not want to talk to him so much, Mr. Su naturally felt not happy. He could not be bothered and walked forward. On the other hand, Su Mingfeng said to Xie Jingxing, “General Shen doesn’t look like he’s telling the truth. Even if his wife is not feeling well, there’s no need to go back in such a hurry, right?”

Xie Jingxing glanced at the guards and said, “Fifth Miss of the Shen family is not around.”

“Huh?” Su Mingfeng was stunned.

“Shen Miao is not around.” Xie Jingxing glanced at the Shen family. With Shen Miao’s relationship with the other two branches, it was impossible for her to stay and enjoy the lanterns with them at this time. It was not likely that Shen Miao didn’t go out today at all. On such a big festival, even if Shen Miao did not want to go out, Shen Xin would not leave her alone in the mansion.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a childish voice. “Sister Shen is missing!”

Xie Jingxing lowered his head. At some point, Su Minglang had slipped past Mr. Su and ran to Su Mingfeng’s side. He grabbed the corner of his brother’s shirt and repeated, “I secretly snuke up to them just now and heard them say that they must find Sister Shen as soon as possible.”

Su Minglang was so small that he was almost invisible in the crowd. He was quite bald and was not afraid of being lost in this flowing crowd.

“They said that Sister Shen might have been kidnapped by a kidnapper.” Su Minglang continued, “Brother, let’s go and save Sister Shen!”

“Missing?” Xie Jingxing looked at the back of the Shen family thoughtfully and suddenly said to Su Mingfeng, “Don’t tell anyone about this. I’ll get going first.” He looked down at Su Minglang and smiled evilly. “If you say a word about this, I’ll sell you to a kidnapper.”
