"What did you say? How can a living person vanish suddenly? Have you searched every coner of this place carefully?"

Li Shifu frowns. She really wishes she could do the searching herself! She knows very well that her cousin Qin Qianshan is the person who always does things efficiently. What's more, Li Wanrou's face is like the overpowering drug, and even her frown is extremely attractive. How could he escape from her attractiveness?

However, she quickly realizes that she has behaved abnormal, so she pinches her palm hard and makes a deep breath. Then, she says apologetically: "I am sorry for my inappropriate behaviour for I am overwhelmed by the worries over Qin Qianshan's safety."

Perceiving the aggrieved look of his daughter Li Shifu, Prime Minister Li bites back the blames, forgetting all the unhappiness he just had. He goes up and pats her on her hand, saying lovingly: "Just leave it to me. It is late now and you should go back to rest." His words sound like that Li Shifu is above suspicion.

Li Wanrou indifferently stares at the loving scene of her father with her sister Li Shifu, which makes her sick, and she knows long ago that her father is partial to her sister, but seeing such a scene makes her aggrieved so much that she even wants to get out of bed and tear their disgusting faces.

However, since she has not got her revenge yet and her power is not strong enough, she has to hide the anger from her heart. Therefore, she lowers her eyelids to cover her cold looks, shakes her head lightly and says: "Dad, if the cousin gets lost for visiting me, I can hardly absolve myself from the blame. But I haven't been out of my room for days, …"

The implication is that she is above suspicion, too. The rummage and interrogations all treat her unjustly. She is also aggrieved.

Just then, the madam of the Marquis Mansion yells angrily: "But for your flattering face, my son would not come to this shabby place. Even the servants in my Marquis Mansion all despise your place!"

No sooner had she said it than she realized she had made a mistake. Before she could say anything more, Prime Minister Li's cold voice comes over:

"I don't know that my Mansion is becoming so shabby that even your servants despise it. And now even my daughter needs to be taught by you! Maybe only the magnificent Imperial Palace can be mentioned in the same breath with your Marquis Mansion. In that case, I might as well speak to the emperor to praise you."

His voice is deep and cold. It is like a basin of cold water, pouring into the heart of the madam and quickly freezes into hard and gelid ice, which soon nibbles her life.

In these years, Marquis Mansion has been inheriting the preceding glories and can't be compared with the prosperous Prime Minister's Mansion. Moreover, Prime Minister Li has the real power in his hands. The more she thinks about it, the more regrets she has and the more she hates the first madam.

If the first madam did not connive at Qianshan's involvement with the beautiful girls of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could her son Qianshan get lost?

It is getting dark. They have been waiting for a long time before the servants who searched everywhere in the Mansion come back. Nothing is found!

Find him, alive or dead! How can the healthy legitimate son of the Marquis Mansion disappear in his Mansion? If it is known to the outsiders, does the face of Mansion still exist?

Shocked and angry, Prime Minister Li stands up abruptly. With his fist striking on the desk, he orders: "Search! Continue to search! Report to the Emperor to ask for the assistance of the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards patrol the whole capital every day. No corner is to be neglected …".

With a woebegone and worried look, Li Wanrou advises: "If he is to be found in a brothel or a pub, his reputation will be ruined."

Every word is for the good of Qin Qianshan. The look on Prime Minister Li's face turns a little better, but he says: "You are not in good health, and you need a good rest. Don't bother with anything big or small in the Mansion."

What he casually says denies all the efforts Li Wanrou makes. "Not to bother with anything big or small in the Mansion" is to keep her away from the power center. She is in fact treated as an outsider!

The anger in the heart of Li Wanrou almost burns her out. However, she just nods lightly and smiles: "Yes, Dad."

She watches everyone leave her room, and then opens the handkerchief to wipe her bitten tongue carefully. Her eyes grow darker and darker.

Furong has stood for a whole day dizzy. Now she manages to recover herself and calms down. She worriedly says: "Miss, if the corpse of the Childe is found, what should we do?"

The pond in the backyard is unfathomable. When Li Wanrou in her previous life was pushed down and was narrowly drowned, she knew that things down there are impossible to be searched out. Therefore, she just shakes her head indifferently.

"Is everything ready that I asked you to prepare?"

When her eyes contact the dark eyes of Li Wanrou, Furong's heart tightens and she nervously says: "Everything is ready according to your order. But if the chicken blood we spilled on the grass in the yard is to be found …"

"No 'But if'!" Li Wanrou sneers, and gets herself dressed, quietly waiting for the night .

Deep at night.

Suddenly a few shrieks and curses from the Prime Minister's Mansion woke up most of the people. Furong does not sleep, either. She has been nearby to find out the fact and comes back with the news for her master.

Li Wanrou is studying herbs in the room with an indifferent look. There is no panic on her face for doing something wrong. Seeing this, Furong calms down a little.

"Something strange happened in Miss Li Shifu's house. It is said that crows and bats all gather around her room's window, which look like ghosts. Since the Childe has not been found, it is said that he is seduced by a beautiful demon. That is, the beautiful demon turns out to be Miss Li Shifu.

It can be imagined that how irritated Li Shifu is. And Furong continues: "Even Miss Li Shifu herself is hurry-scurry, pleading not to revenge on her. She acts like an insane woman. I've been in the Mansion for more than three years, and I've never seen that this dignified lady behaves in such an abnormal manner."
