Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 703 Looking for someone, Yao Qingnian is missing

But as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy. She was drugged. There was something wrong with the water! Before she could react, she fainted. The old woman next to her was still shouting, "Girl, girl, wake up, what's wrong with you?"

After a while, seeing that Yao Qingnian, who was lying on the ground, had no reaction, several men came out from the surroundings.

"This girl looks pretty, but unfortunately, she is stupid. She drank the water I gave her so easily." At this time, the old woman's true face was revealed. It turned out that she was not a village woman, but a beggar who traveled around all year round. Most people could not tell.

"That's because the shopkeeper has already found out. This woman knows medical skills. She must be able to detect ordinary medicinal powders. This medicine is colorless and odorless. Even a real doctor may not be able to detect it." The man on the side said proudly.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and take the person away. We still have to go back to report!" said another person, giving the old woman a bag of silver. The old woman happily took the silver and left. The others threw Yao Qingnian into the bag and left with their people.

In Yao Qingnian's shop, Zhongxia was about to take a rest after a busy day when Lu Huaijin came back with Yinuo.

"Sister Zhongxia, where is my mother?"

"Young master, the young lady has gone out and hasn't come back yet!" Zhongxia touched her head and said with a smile.

"Where did you go?" Lu Huaijin asked.

"She went out of the city. Someone from Yunlai Restaurant came over today and said they had something to discuss with the young lady, so they asked her to go. She left in the morning, and it's almost dark now. Why hasn't she come back yet?" Zhongxia was shocked to realize that the young lady had been gone for a long time.

"Yunlai Restaurant?"

"Yeah! It's the guy named Duoduo who came to call people." Zhongxia nodded.

"Then I'll go to Yunlai Restaurant to look for the Madam. Tornado, you protect the Young Master."

"Okay, master." Tornado responded.

Lu Huaijin walked towards Yunlai Restaurant. Even though it was getting dark, there were still a steady stream of customers in the restaurant.

"Sir, we are not accepting customers now. If you want to eat hotpot, please come early tomorrow." The waiter stood at the door and said to Lu Huaijin who came in. Everyone in the restaurant knew Yao Qingnian, but not Lu Huaijin.

"I don't want to eat hot pot. I'm here to see my wife."

"Who is your wife?"

"Yao Qingnian."

"You are Miss Yao's husband! Sir, please wait a moment, I will go and call the shopkeeper." The waiter looked at the handsome man in front of him and immediately turned around to call the shopkeeper.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out.

"Mr. Lu, why are you here? Please come in." Shopkeeper Wan greeted him warmly. The shopkeeper had seen him before.

"Boss, I won't go in. Please call my wife out. It's getting dark. I'll take her back."

"Miss Yao didn't come today!" Manager Wan said politely.

"She didn't come? Didn't you ask the waiter from your restaurant to come over and tell her to go out of town and discuss something with her?" Lu Huaijin had a bad feeling.

"No! Now everything in the restaurant has been stabilized. I didn't ask anyone to invite Miss Yao. Did I make a mistake?"

"That's right. The people in our shop said that it was Duoduo, the waiter from your restaurant, who came to invite them."

"Afu, go and call Duoduo over. When did I ask him to invite Miss Yao?" Shopkeeper Wan was puzzled and immediately asked someone to call Duoduo over.

But after a while, Ah Fu ran out and said, "Boss, Duoduo is missing!"

"What, he's gone? I saw him this morning!"

"Oh no, Qing Nian is in danger." Lu Huaijin thought to himself.

"Mr. Lu, don't worry. I will send someone to look for Miss Yao right away. Miss Yao is a lucky person, so she will be fine."

"Well, I'll go look outside the city. If there's any news, ask someone to inform me." After Lu Huaijin finished speaking, he hurried out of the city. But when he arrived at the city gate, it was already closed, so he had to turn back.

The shopkeeper sent people to look around, but there was no sign of Yao Qingnian.

"Xuanfeng, go to the bank and ask the people from Ziye Pavilion for help. Make sure to find the madam." At this time, Lu Huaijin had a blank expression on his face and was almost freezing cold.

"Okay, master!" Tornado immediately took the order and went down.

After receiving the news, the people from Zi Ye Pavilion immediately started looking for someone in Anding County, but they were almost overthrown in Anding County, but still couldn't find Yao Qingnian.

"Mr. Lu, we sent people to look for her, but there was no sign of Miss Yao. However, we found him." The owner of the money shop brought someone over. This person was none other than Duoduo, a waiter at Yunlai Restaurant.

"Duoduo, what happened?" When Manager Wan heard that Yao Qingnian was missing, he hurried over.

"Boss, please save me. I don't know what happened. I was suddenly brought here." Duoduo avoided the gaze.

"When we found him, he was in the gambling house."

"Gambling house? Duoduo, why are you going to the gambling house instead of coming to the restaurant? Also, let me ask you, when did I tell you to tell Miss Yao that I was looking for her?" Manager Wan's face was full of anger. Duoduo took him in out of pity for him because he had a seriously ill father at home and let him work as a waiter in the restaurant. Unexpectedly, he got addicted to the bad habit of gambling at some point. It was really disappointing.

"I... I just came here to take a look. No gambling, boss." Duoduo stammered.

"Tell me, where did Miss Yao go? Also, where did you get the money? I give your monthly salary directly to your father!" Manager Wan scolded.

"Shopkeeper, what are you talking about? I don't know anything."

"Tell me or not! If you don't, I'll kill you!" Lu Huaijin put the sword directly on Duoduo's neck.

"Master, please spare my life! I! Someone found me yesterday and gave me fifty taels of silver, asking me to pass a message to Miss Yao. The silver is mine. I owe money to the gambling den, and if I can't pay it back, they will beat me to death. I thought it was just a message and there would be no danger, so... so..." Duoduo was frightened by Lu Huaijin and immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Okay! It's really you! You are such a heartless person, I took such good care of you!"

"Who asked you to deliver the message?"

"I don't know. I don't know that person."

"How dare you accept money from someone you don't even know! You are so bold!"
