Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 242

Chapter 242 Who Is The Murderer
“Hey hey, what are you doing? Isn’t your girl good enough to stay in the carriage?” The servant did not expect that such a situation would occur in such a good way.

Today, he had been reprimanded repeatedly for being the Yun Clan’s fourth young miss, and now he was actually making him compensate someone?

And because of the coachman’s words, everyone moved closer and looked into the carriage. At this moment, there was only one maidservant in the carriage, and there was no trace of Yun Clan’s fourth young miss.

No wonder no matter what was said outside, none of the Yun Family’s four young ladies had said a single word.

The groom didn’t care what the servant said. Today, the fourth young miss had called him out to drive the carriage. The fourth young miss who was in the carriage before had disappeared from the carriage after a few words with the servant?

How would he explain to Master Yun when he returned? At that time, they would probably be chased out of the Yun Clan and beaten to death by random sticks.

She grabbed the servant and refused to let go, “It must be you. You threatened my girl to see your master. My girl is gone, so you took advantage of our carriage to hijack my girl. Hurry up and return my girl!”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Third Prince Zhou Jingyan, who was in another direction. This servant was Zhou Jingyan’s man, so he must have been ordered by Zhou Jingyan to do something.

When the servant saw the coachman looking at Zhou Jingyan, he immediately shouted for help, “Master, quickly save this servant. This servant did not kidnap Yun Clan’s fourth young lady. This servant does not know why a living person disappeared out of thin air! Perhaps, there is no Yun Clan’s fourth young lady in this carriage. From beginning to end, this coachman is acting by himself!” He didn’t expect the coachman’s strength to be so great that he was almost unable to breathe.

Hearing this, Zhou Jingyan frowned and snorted coldly, “What exactly happened today? Don’t make a move in public. Since the fourth young miss is gone, we need to find her first!”

The servant immediately glared fiercely at the groom, “Quickly let go of me. I told you that it wasn’t me. It must be you who hid the Yun Family’s fourth young lady. Don’t frame me.”

The coachman did not want to let go of the servant, but since Zhou Jingyan had already said something, he had no choice but to let go. Even if the coachman threw the servant away, he knelt down and said, “This servant is willing to guarantee that my fourth young miss is in the carriage. She has disappeared in vain. There must be someone who wants to harm my young miss. Third Highness, please investigate carefully and not let go of any of her!”

His words made him gnash his teeth, implying a threat.

After he finished speaking, even if he said loudly, “If His Highness the Third Prince doesn’t believe me, you can still ask the people beside you. Just now, this lowly person stopped our carriage. My lady even opened the curtain and spoke a few words to him. However, after a few words, my lady disappeared. It must be this person who harbors a grudge against my lady and wants to take revenge on my lady.”

Suddenly, he remembered something. “My daughter is in the carriage in the refugee area in the south of the city. The ninth prince personally escorted my daughter into the carriage. This matter cannot be left unanswered. I would like to ask His Highness the third prince to make the decision.”

Zhou Jingyan couldn’t make up his mind for a moment.

Exactly who was able to kidnap a living person in front of everyone’s eyes?

If this matter could not be clarified, it was likely that the driver’s words meant that he had sent someone to kidnap Yun Xiao.

“You get up first, isn’t there a maidservant in the carriage? “Now wake up the maidservant and figure out what happened.” Zhou Jingyan immediately gave the order and added, “Please forgive me for what happened today. Don’t move around now. Since the fourth young miss has just disappeared, I’m afraid that the person who kidnapped the fourth young miss is still nearby.”

After he finished speaking, he removed the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the guard behind him. “Go to the capital governor’s mansion now, take my jade pendant and gather some people to investigate this case properly!”

The guard didn’t dare to stop, so he took the jade pendant and turned to leave.

Seeing that the coachman was still kneeling on the ground, Zhou Jingyan immediately said, “Hurry up and wake up the maidservant on the carriage. Besides, I’m going to check the carriage. Do you have any objections?”

The groom nodded his head and said respectfully, “Third Highness, do as you please.” After he finished speaking, he returned to the carriage and patted Chun Lan a few times. However, Chun Lan did not wake up. He could only pick up the teacup on the small table and pour it down on Chun Lan.

Chun Lan slowly woke up from the teacup. She blinked her eyes, and her eyes were filled with confusion. She raised her hand to wipe the tea on her face. She suddenly remembered what had happened today and looked at the carriage. There were no traces of Yun Xiao. Her small face suddenly turned green and white. She immediately said, “Uncle Wen, save the girl.”

The coachman called Uncle Wen’s expression changed slightly. “Tell me what happened in the carriage first.”

Chun Lan raised her head. ‘”This servant was originally serving the girl with some food. However, the girl suddenly said that she was dizzy. This servant went to pour a cup of tea for the fourth girl. However, before the tea was delivered to the girl, she felt that there was something flashing in her nose. She did not know what was going on anymore,” said Zhou Jingyan calmly.

At this moment, Zhou Jingyan also walked over and sized up the carriage. There was indeed a cup of overturned tea in the carriage. “Apart from what you said, did you notice anything else strange?”

‘”No,” Chun Lan thought for a moment, but she still looked back with certainty. What happened today did not bode well. Chun Lan frowned even more. Now that the girl had disappeared in front of everyone, it was likely that it would harm her reputation.

Zhou Jingyan frowned and sized up the carriage once more. He still didn’t see anything wrong with the carriage, but a person suddenly disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes without a trace. No matter how he looked at it, it was strange.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight shone down from the roof of the carriage. Zhou Jingyan raised his head and saw a gap in the carriage. He stepped onto the carriage and gently pushed the roof of the carriage.

He didn’t expect that with this push, the roof of the carriage would be pushed away so easily.

Zhou Jingyan’s expression was embarrassed. Suddenly, a sharp gaze fell on Zhou Jingyan. A trace of coldness flashed in his gaze. “Didn’t you leave the carriage today?”

The coachman’s expression changed when he saw the top of the carriage being pushed away. He respectfully replied, “Yes, this servant has never left the carriage since leaving the Yun Clan. This servant dares to guarantee it with his life!”

Since he hadn’t left the carriage, it was obvious that the roof of the carriage had already been opened by someone before Yun Xiao left the Yun Clan’s house.

The carriage had always been extremely strong. Since it could remove the roof of the carriage, it would definitely make a lot of noise. This sound was enough for people to hear and be on guard.

From the looks of it, this hijacking had already been planned!

“Has your girl offended anyone recently?” Zhou Jingyan’s expression was cold, and his words were no longer as gentle as before.

“My family’s girls are always virtuous and kind. They have never offended anyone.” Chun Lan replied on her behalf. Chun Lan’s eyes lit up as she looked at Zhou Jingyan. “My family’s girl seems to have some misunderstandings with His Highness the Third Prince.”

This sentence was easy to misunderstand. This was done by Zhou Jingyan.

This was the first time Zhou Jingyan felt that this matter was absurd. He wanted to leave, but he knew that if he left now, it would be even more difficult to explain what would happen in the future.

Right at this moment, another magnetic yet tender voice came from afar, “What happened here? Is it so lively?”

Chun Lan turned around and saw a youth wearing a azure robe. He was walking towards her with large strides. Not only was it him, there was also a man behind him. The man was wearing a jade-green robe. His figure was like jade, and his face was handsome. As he walked, he had a noble aura.

That sentence was what Zhou Jingxu had asked just now.

When Chun Lan saw this, she hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and knelt in front of the two. “This servant greets the Crown Prince and His Highness the Ninth Prince.”

Zhou Jingxu looked around and saw no sign of Yun Xiao. The bad thoughts in his heart grew denser and denser. He said, “What happened here? Where’s your young miss?”

Even if Chun Lan told him everything, Zhou Jingchen and Zhou Jingxu frowned.

The two of them looked at Zhou Jingyan at the same time. Obviously, they were also suspicious of Zhou Jingyan. Zhou Jingxu saw that Zhou Jingchen was about to speak, so he hurriedly said, “Why is Third Brother here?”

Of course, Zhou Jingxu, who was currently questioning him, had completely forgotten all about meeting Zhou Jingyan in the pharmacy today.

Seeing their expressions, Zhou Jingxu already knew that the two of them had already started to doubt him. He frowned and said, “Today, the Crown Prince and the proton of West Vietnam returned to China. I came to join in the fun. I didn’t expect to meet the carriages and horses of the Yun Family’s Fourth Young Lady here, so I came down to greet them. Who knew that the Fourth Young Lady had disappeared?”

Zhou Jingxu was unable to analyze everything at this moment. Coincidentally, the governor of the capital brought a wave of soldiers. After saluting respectfully to the crowd, he ordered the soldiers to look for the fourth girl of Yun Clan.

As for Chun Lan, she told Jing Zhaoyin about what had happened today.

The governor only felt a headache. He didn’t expect that this case would involve the prince.

At this moment, Zhou Jingyan’s brows furrowed tightly. He hurriedly walked to the capital governor and said, “My lord, may I know where the guards in my mansion are now?”

The governor looked at Zhou Jingyan in surprise and cupped his hands in salute, “Third Highness, this lowly official has not seen the guards in your mansion today.”

“No, I just asked the guards to bring my identity jade pendant to the capital’s governor’s mansion to meet my lord. How could they not see the guards in my mansion?” Zhou Jingyan’s heart was also filled with a trace of panic. He already knew that there was an invisible hand behind everything that happened today. However, who was it that could control everything behind the scenes?

The governor asked a few more questions. Under everyone’s gaze, everyone saw Zhou Jingyan instructing the guards to deliver the message.

He never thought that the guard who sent the message would not come back, but that the governor of the capital had brought his soldiers.

“Since adults have not seen my mansion guards, how did you know what happened here? And so quickly?

The governor was shocked and hurriedly said, “Just as Xiaoguan replied, he hurriedly rushed over when he received someone saying that something had happened in front of the manor.” This time, even the governor felt that something was wrong with this matter.

“We need to investigate this matter carefully. Today, I must see the fourth Miss Yun Clan. No matter what method you use, you must bring the fourth Miss Yun Clan before me!” Zhou Jingxu looked around at the crowd with a cold expression. Now, he could clearly see that someone was trying to deal with Yun Xiao!

If I hadn’t found the wood earlier, I’m afraid that it would have been really bad luck at that time!
