Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Long Yang’s Anxiety

Recalling Madam Lin’s appearance, Zhu Yu replied, “Madam Lin is always wearing a veil on her face, so I can’t tell her age, but she has a slender figure, almost the same as Miss, and a similar height, too.”

The Dowager Duchess was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at Zhu Yu sternly. “She wears a veil, has almost the same figure as Miss, and has excellent medical skills?”

“Yes.” Zhu Yu became a little uneasy.

The Dowager Duchess glanced at Aunt Lan, her mouth opening, but eventually she said nothing.

Aunt Lan knew what she wanted to say, but this was only the Dowager Duchess’s hunch, and she could only be sure after seeing Madam Lin with her own eyes.

“The capital suburbs are too big to find a person easily. Find a way to inform the Emperor, quickly,” the Dowager Duchess ordered.

What the Dowager Duchess did not know was that Long Yang had already received the news before them.

The moment the covert guard’s rocket exploded in the air, he already knew.

Those covert guards were specially sent by him to protect Lu Liangwei, and the rocket exploding indicated that Weiwei was in danger.

Abandoning all state affairs and court officials, he raced to the capital suburbs with Chu Yi and Chu Qi in tow.

When he arrived, the covert guards had already wiped out all the assassins, but more than half of them were injured as well.

“What happened? Where’s Second Miss?” Long Yang’s deep voice boomed as he looked around with a piercing and intimidating gaze. However, there was no sign of Lu Liangwei, and his heart instantly sank.

Chu Jiu had already awoken, and with the help of a covert guard, she came forward and knelt on one knee, her face completely drained of blood. “Master, Miss was abducted. Please punish me for failing to protect her.”

Violence surged in Long Yang’s eyes at her words. “Who abducted Second Miss? Which direction did they go?”

Chu Jiu was unconscious at that time and did not know in which direction Madam Lin had taken Lu Liangwei, so she only replied, “It was Madam Lin. She works in the medicinal shop.”

Another covert guard immediately added, “They went east. Our people have gone after them.”

Without another word, Long Yang pulled on the reins and galloped off in the direction the covert guard had mentioned.

Chu Yi and Chu Qi wanted to dissuade him, but seeing that he had already sped off, they could only gather the remaining uninjured covert guards and quickly follow.

Not long after, Lu Hetian arrived on the same spot with his entourage. After asking Chu Jiu about the situation, he headed east as well.

Chu Jiu had been drugged with coma-inducing medicine, and the covert guards had awakened her by splashing cold water on her. At this moment, there were still some remnants of the medicine in her body, which made her feel weak.

Lu Liangwei had been abducted under her nose, which made her feel guilty and worried at the same time.

When Lu Tingchen arrived next, he was just in time to see her pull out her dagger and slit her arm. She then braced herself and mounted her horse.

Lu Tingchen frowned, but now that Weiwei had been abducted, he did not have the time to care about other people. Without a word, he spurred his horse toward the east together with Chu Jiu.

“Giddy up!”

Under the night sky, a group of men streaked across the suburbs on horseback.

The man riding at the forefront had a dreadfully grim expression on his face, his lips pressed together tightly, a violent thunderstorm brewing in his eyes.

Behind him, Chu Yi and Chu Qi followed closely with the other covert guards in tow. Looking at the man spurring his horse to the extreme limits, both of them were worried.

They only hoped that they could catch up with Madam Lin in time.

Otherwise, the wedding that was to take place the day after tomorrow…

Both of them did not dare to continue that train of thought.

They knew how much Master looked forward to his wedding with Second Miss Lu.

However, Second Miss Lu got abducted at this critical juncture, and one could imagine how furious and worried Master was.

They could only pray for Second Miss Lu’s safety.

“Giddy up!”
