Su Zhi found the printed white paper she had prepared a long time ago and prepared to have Elementary Scholar Li write down a template before printing it. When the time came, she would give some crushed silver to the children who were running through the streets and spread the news.

Just as the two were deep in thought, the driver tightened the reins of the oxcart that was barreling towards them from the corner and stopped in front of Flowery House's entrance.

Su Zhi heard the commotion and looked outside. It was Aunt Bai's husband, Uncle Liu. A Jin was sitting on the oxcart with swollen eyes.

"Uncle Liu, Jin, what's going on?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Zhi hurriedly went out to inquire.

"Xiaosu, hurry up. Your daughter is gone. Go back and find her!"

Uncle Liu picked A Jin up from the ground and wiped the sweat off her forehead with his sleeve. He was so anxious that he didn't know how to explain it to her. The child was given to the couple to look after. Now that something had gone wrong, Uncle Liu was extremely upset.

"What did you say?" What happened to the bean bun? "

A Jin got off the ox-cart and rushed towards Su Zhi, sobbing and gasping for breath. "Mother, little sister's gone. I couldn't find her no matter how hard I tried, wuu.

The child was gone?!

It was as if someone had dug a hole in Su Zhi's heart, causing her to pinch and not know how to react.

"Everything is fine, how can the child not see her?"

"Mother, it's my fault. It was my greed that caused my stomach to break. After leaving for a short while, my sister disappeared."

A Jin cried very sorrowfully and blamed herself.

He was the one who sent the Soybean Bag over to Grandma White's house. It only took him a blink of an eye to get rid of it. What would he do if his sister didn't come back?

Hearing the sound of the wind, Li Yi also went out the door. After hearing a few words, he realized that the little girl was gone and hurriedly went up to comfort her.

"It's fine, don't worry, Spring Leaf Alley is only so big, where can we go?" It must be the child's nature to be playful and unable to stay at home, to go for a walk. "

Uncle Liu stomped his foot and gritted his teeth as he said, "Yes, I did. I searched the entire street and alleyway, but I couldn't find any trace of the child. Everything was fine, why did the child get lost? "Right now, there's a lot of people outside, don't …"

"NO!" "Impossible, my child won't go missing …"

Su Zhi's heart abruptly contracted. She was in so much pain that she was about to cry.

The Soybean Pancake was not born of her, but she had always regarded it as her own.

Such a soft and cute child. Even though they had only known each other for a few months, she had already gotten used to hearing the cute call of the little bean bun. The little girl couldn't even speak properly, yet she could clearly call out her mother's child.

"Big Brother Li!" Big Brother Li! Hurry, hurry, go to the government, we're going to report this! No no no, you go to the government, I'll go back to Spring Leaf Lane! "No, no, no. Only I know how a child looks like. I have to go to the government, first!"

Su Zhi's heart was empty. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't. The feeling of a child missing was like burning hot water. It was hard to bear.

She had no one in Xuancheng who could turn to but the government officials.

Li Yi nodded. Seeing that Su Zhi had lost her soul, she was so anxious that she was about to cry. However, she was still strong and unwilling to show weakness.

The usually shrewd and capable woman seemed to have lost her backbone, as if all her strength had been sucked out of her.

"Xiao Su, think carefully. Who else can help you in Xuan City? "Even if it's just one more person, it would be more powerful."

Who else could help her? Who was there?

Su Zhi clenched her hands and paced back and forth. "Oh right, there's someone who can do it!"

The man had promised to ask for help if he was in trouble.

"Brother Li, do you know where the General's Residence is in the capital?" I want to enter the capital! "

Li Yi thought back for a moment and said, "Are you referring to the capital's Xiao family? I'm not too sure about the exact location. If you want to find someone from the general's manor, hire a carriage first and have the coachman take you there! "

Su Zhi murmured and nodded her head. When she stepped out to find a carriage, her legs gave way and she stumbled onto the stone steps.

"Mother!"

A Jin rushed up to help her up, crying as he hugged her, "Mother, I'll go with you, I want to go find my sister too!"

Su Zhi pushed him away and turned to Uncle Liu for help. "Uncle, please take care of A Jin for me. I'll go to Beijing and ask for help. I'll be right back."

Uncle Liu nodded, pulling A Jin back, "Hurry up and go. With me watching, A Jin will be fine."

Li Yi stepped forward to support her and comforted her, "Little Su, don't worry. The child will definitely find you. "How about this, I'll go to the government and report this. You go to the capital and seek help. We'll split up now!"

"Alright, thank you Big Brother Li!"

Su Zhi hired a car and headed towards the capital without stopping.

Without someone by her side, she would always think of bad things and feel as if a knife was being twisted inside her heart when she thought of the disappearance of the bean bun. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

The capital was indeed not far from Xuan City. After they passed the official road, they would be able to see the city gate from afar.

Su Zhi, however, felt that she could not wait to fly to the general's estate and ask Xiao Qian to help her.

When she encountered difficulties, the first person she thought of was Xiao Qian. Other than him, Su Zhi really couldn't find anyone else to ask for help.

Auntie Gu was right, it was impossible to have no man in the family. Since she was both a mother and a father, there was bound to be mistakes.

It had been a few days since they last met. How was Xiao Qian and how had he been recently? The imperial government's pay had not been distributed yet, but it had already attracted many dissenting military officers. This rumor was heard by Su Zhi and her family. They didn't know if Xiao Qian was in a bad shape or not, and had no place to vent it out.

He didn't know if it would be troublesome if he asked for his help at this time.

The more she thought, the more annoyed she felt. Su Zhi didn't want to continue anymore. She wiped her tears away and forced herself to calm down.

"My wife, the General's Estate is right in front of us. You should get off the carriage and walk there by yourself." The general's manor is under strict security. This little one is a commoner, I will not trouble you. Please do as you please. "

Su Zhi took a deep breath, tidied herself up, and got off the carriage.

Not far ahead was the general's manor. Two rows of guards with sabers were standing in front of the manor gate. The vermillion gate was solemn and majestic.

Su Zhi hesitated a little and stood in place, not daring to move forward. Thinking that it was unknown whether or not Little Dou was dead or alive, she steeled her heart and braced herself to move forward.

"Halt! Who dares to barge into the general's manor?!"

"Little brother, my name is Su Zhi. I'm an old friend of your general. I have something to discuss with him. Can you inform him?"

The guard looked Su Zhi up and down, frowned, and said, "Do you have an invitation from the General's Estate? If not, then what about the card? Do you have the keepsake? "

Su Zhi shook her head blankly. Other than promising her, Xiao Qian did not leave her any keepsake.

"Since there aren't any, I can't let you in."

Su Zhi patiently explained, "I really do know your general, and he will help me. I'll have to trouble you with your report, and tell you that this is my wife, Su Zhi, requesting an audience. If the General does not wish to see me, then I will turn around and leave.

After hesitating for a moment, the guard with the saber called for the servant in charge and whispered a few words into his ear.

The attendant understood the gist of it and was about to enter the door to report the matter, but was stopped by a delicate shout. "Who's making a ruckus here? Are there any rules?!"

Everyone looked over and saw eight people carrying a big palanquin full of Hibiscus Mutabilis. There were dozens of guards and five serving maids walking with them.

From the looks of it, it must be some noble girl.

"So it's Princess Anyang. This humble servant pays his respects to the princess."

The sedan stopped as the servant girl opened the curtain, supporting a twenty-eight year old girl as she slowly walked out.

The lady in the palanquin was sitting on a red and gold silk soft and silky silk brocade robe. The ground was smooth and smooth, making her skin as creamy as cream. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and her skin as ice.

"Who is this person? This princess has heard her crying from afar. How unlucky."

The guard cupped his fist and explained, "He said he came to ask for the general's help."

The girl snorted disdainfully. Her beauty was like a flower and the moon, but her disdainful expression gave birth to a sense of haughty haughtiness. "What kind of place is the General's Estate? How could a village woman cause trouble? Hurry up and send her away."

The guard hesitated for a moment, not daring to disobey the woman's wishes. He could only chase Su Zhi away.

"Lil 'Bro, I'm begging you to help me. I really do have urgent matters to discuss with the general."

No matter how much Su Zhi begged, she was still mercilessly pushed far away.

The woman then revealed a satisfied expression and arrogantly entered the general's manor.

Since she could not obtain any results, Su Zhi was unwilling to accept this. Furthermore, she could not even see Xiao Qian. She was so anxious that her heart was in turmoil.

She had been wandering around the general's manor for a long time. Seeing that the four small doors were guarded by guards, making it impossible for her to enter, she couldn't help but feel frustrated.
