Chapter 189 Asking for help
The Jiang Mansion was in chaos at this moment.

Tong'er was sent back to the mansion. The assassin's knife was really shocking. The doctor came to rebandage her wound and wrote a prescription. The medicine was being boiled in the kitchen.

Jiang Yuanbai had gone out to find officials to thoroughly investigate the entire Yanjing City. When Madam Jiang heard the news, she fainted. Mrs. Lu was busy taking care of Madam Jiang. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou were also ordered not to leave the house. The whole Yanjing City was in panic. The murderer who suddenly ran out and killed people at will looked like a conspiracy. Hearing that the emperor also knew about this, he was furious and ordered his officials to find out the whereabouts of the murderer.

At this time, no one cared about Bai Xue.

Bai Xue stayed by Tong'er's bed, she was helpless and didn't know what to do. After sending Tong'er back home, Bai Xue was unwilling to give up, and ran to that street again, walked over and over again, and even searched all the shops along the street, but all returned in vain.

She was sure that she had indeed lost Jiang Li, and she blamed herself to death. When Jiang Li left Bai Xue by her side, many people were surprised. Bai Xue was not good-looking and could not speak, but she was strong. She thought that her strength could protect Jiang Li, but Bai Xue found that when danger came, she not only failed to protect Jiang Li, but was even inferior to the skinny Tong'er, who at least helped Jiang Li block a knife.

She should have run with Jiang Li at that time. If the assassin caught up with her, she would have helped Jiang Li block the knife. It would be better than the current situation where Jiang Li is missing and no one knows where she is.

As she was thinking, the person on the bed moved and Tong'er slowly woke up.

She suddenly woke up, her face still very pale, it seems that the wound on her hand is still very painful, biting her lip. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes and saw Bai Xue was to ask: "Where is the girl? Is the girl okay?"

Bai Xue was speechless. She really didn't know what to say. She said she lost her young lady? And now she didn't know whether she was alive or dead?

"Why don't you speak?" Tong'er became anxious when she saw her not speaking, and asked, "Are you okay, girl?" Perhaps because her speaking movements were too big and pulled the wound, Tong'er let out a "hiss" and gasped.

Bai Xue said quickly: "The doctor said that your wound has not healed yet and you need to rest for a few days. Don't get excited."

"Tell me quickly, is the girl injured?" Tong'er asked again.

Bai Xue shook her head and whispered, "I don't know...the girl is gone."

Tong'er was stunned: "What do you mean the girl is missing?"

"After you blocked the knife for the girl, the assassin wanted to come over, so I pushed the girl off the carriage and asked her to escape quickly. The girl ran into the crowd... Then the city garrison came, and the assassins ran away. I searched for the girl for a long time, but couldn't find her... The master knew about it and has sent people to find her whereabouts."

"How could you let the girl run away alone!" Tong'er said angrily.

Bai Xue pursed her lips: "I'm sorry..."

Seeing her self-blaming look, Tong'er's heart softened. Knowing that Baixue must be feeling bad at the moment, she said, "Forget it, it's not your fault. If you didn't push the girl out of the car, the assassin would have pounced on her and killed her sooner or later." Thinking of the critical moment before, Tong'er was still frightened. "Master will send people to find those assassins and the whereabouts of the girl. They will definitely find them. After all, Yanjing City is so small..." She said a lot, as if to comfort herself and Baixue.

But the two of them actually thought of the same thing. Jiang Youyao also disappeared suddenly. Jiang Yuanbai sent people to look for her, but they couldn't find her. Finally, they found her in Princess Yongning's private prison, but only one eye was left.

Princess Yongning's private prison was gone, but who could guarantee that among so many families in Yanjing City, there wouldn't be other people who secretly set up private prisons in the mansion? If Jiang Li was also imprisoned in a private prison... they simply couldn't imagine it.

"It's okay." Tong'er whispered, "Miss, you are blessed by heaven, and you will surely turn danger into safety."

At the other end of the Jiang Mansion, in the third room, Yang and Jiang Yuanxing also received the news.

After sending Jiang Yuyan out, Yang and Jiang Yuanxing returned to the house. Yang whispered, "It was His Royal Highness Prince Cheng who did it, right?"

Jiang Yuanxing said: "I don't know."

After learning in advance that Jiang Li was going out that day, Yang thought of a way to tell the right prime minister. She knew that Li Zhongnan and King Cheng were probably unhappy recently, so she asked Li Lian to tell her. Unexpectedly, Jiang Li disappeared when she went out today. Yang didn't believe it was a coincidence. It was obvious that King Cheng got the news and took action.

"Since King Cheng succeeded, we can say that we have fulfilled one of his wishes. Compared with the Right Prime Minister, King Cheng is more generous. My husband, I'm afraid that you will be very successful in the future, leaving the first and second houses far behind." Jiang Yuanxing was not as happy as Yang. Instead, he seemed a little annoyed and said a few perfunctorily.

Yang saw that he was absent-minded and was dissatisfied. She said, "Why are you so angry? Are you soft-hearted? Or are you afraid? I am doing this for your own good!"

"After all, she is our niece, and a little girl at that," said Jiang Yuanxing.

"Your daughter is also a little girl!" Yang said sternly: "Even if you feel sorry for Jiang Li, you should also think about Yu'e and how she feels as a concubine! And Yuyan, Yuyan is also going to find someone else. Do you want her to be a concubine like Yu'e, or to marry a poor scholar, struggling for a living every day, and living in fear in her husband's house!"

Jiang Yuanxing stopped talking.

Yang looked at his dejected look, and hesitated to speak. Finally, she slowed down her voice and said, "You should know that I do all this for our own good. The Jiang family is not one family with us. We can only rely on ourselves."

Jiang Yuanxing sighed: "I know."

……

From day to night, the whole city of Yanjing was in a state of panic. No one knew when those brutal assassins would appear, and there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, except for the officers and soldiers who were searching for the whereabouts of Miss Jiang Er.

Jiang Yuanbai returned to the mansion, he looked very tired, his eyes were red, he didn't know if he was tired or anxious. Old Madam Jiang finally woke up and asked if Jiang Li had been found, Jiang Yuanbai also shook his head.

Mingyue and Qingfeng got the news and immediately sent it back to Fangfei Garden. Baixue, who was standing by Tong'er's window, was speechless after hearing it.

Tong'er couldn't help crying immediately. She said, "What should I do? The girl has never been separated from me. Those people took the girl and they will definitely not let her have an easy life. It's all my fault. If I had been more careful at that time, the girl wouldn't have been lost."

"Don't blame you, blame me." Bai Xue also choked up.

The moon and the wind were both sad, and everyone in Fangfei Garden was in a low mood. When Jiang Li was around, everyone seemed to have a backbone. Although she didn't like to talk much, Fangfei Garden was deserted and strange without Jiang Li.

"Do you think the girl will be scared now?" Tong'er said in a daze.

"No," Snow White replied, "The girl is very brave."

Tong'er was about to speak when her eyes suddenly fell on the windowsill. There was a white porcelain whistle on the window sill. Tong'er knew that every time Jiang Li blew the whistle, the baby-faced guard would appear. Later one day, Jiang Li put the whistle in front of the window, saying that it would not be used anymore.

Tong'er thought that the guard was probably no longer at the Jiang family, after all, he hadn't been seen for a long time. But looking at the whistle, Tong'er suddenly remembered one thing, Zhao Ke was from the Duke's Mansion.

She grabbed Bai Xue's sleeve with her right hand, leaned closer and said, "Bai Xue, go to the Duke's Mansion and ask Duke Su to find a girl."

Bai Xue was surprised.

"The person that the master couldn't find, Duke Su found in no time. I heard from the young lady that he also found the third young lady. What others can't do, Duke Su must have a way to do." Tong'er's tone became unusually calm.

Bai Xue said: "But Duke Su may not help you, and you don't know about this either."

"Listen, the young lady trusts Duke Su," Tong'er said, "Since we returned to Yanjing City, I have understood that the young lady never trusts anyone easily, but Duke Su is an exception. The young lady trusts her, and I trust the people the young lady trusts."
