The man ran out of breath, and when he entered the house, he took a big sip of water from the teacup, "Miss, Chunhua is back!"

After hearing this, Qin Ruhuan stood up and walked out immediately. "Miss, don't worry, she hasn't arrived yet. I came back to report after I found out. They are behind!" said the secret guard.

Qin Ruhuan breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that I found it! It's good that I found it!

Qiuyue laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes! "I told you, Chunhua will be fine, she's lucky!"

"Yes, yes, you are right!" Qin Ruhuan tapped Qiuyue's forehead with her finger.

In less than a quarter of an hour, several people escorted Chunhua back!

When Qin Ruhuan saw Chunhua, she hugged her with tears in her eyes, "Chunhua, where have you been? I was so worried about you, young lady!"

Chunhua's hair was a little messy, and her clothes were intact, but with some bloodstains on them.

"Chunhua, are you hurt? Who kidnapped you?" Qin Ruhuan had a lot of questions to ask her.

Chunhua shook her head woodenly and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, I'm fine. I'm not injured. I don't know who kidnapped me. Maybe it was a human trafficker. I ran away when they were out."

Qin Ruhuan listened to Chunhua's story and suddenly felt a little strange, "Chunhua, why did your voice change!"

Chunhua looked at Qin Ruhuan and said weakly, "They fed me medicine yesterday, so my voice is a little different!"

Qin Ruhuan didn't ask any more questions and asked someone to serve a table of delicious food to celebrate Chunhua's safe return.

Chunhua is back and everyone is very happy. Qianxun, Gu Junheng, Qiuyue, and others finally feel relieved.

Perhaps if a maid from another wealthy family went missing, they wouldn't get too much attention from their masters, but because Qin Ruhuan and Chunhua were like sisters, Gu Junheng, along with Qianxun, took this matter very seriously.

During the meal, everyone was talking and laughing. Gu Junheng asked Chunhua about the details of the kidnapping, but Chunhua was vague and just lowered her head to eat. She didn't seem very enthusiastic towards Qin Ruhuan.

Especially when Qin Ruhuan wanted to hold her hand, she was a little scared and dodged. Qin Ruhuan felt even more guilty, thinking that she might have caused some harm to Chunhua this time.

Not holding Chunhua's hand this time may be the thing Qin Ruhuan regrets most in her life...

Later, everyone saw that Chunhua was a little resistant. After all, she was a woman, and such a thing would damage her reputation, so no one mentioned it again.

Qin Ruhuan ordered Qianxun to find these bad guys and avenge Chunhua.

"Miss, don't worry, I will send people to continue the investigation. There is nothing we can't find out! Although they arrested Chunhua, their ultimate target may also be you, Miss!"

"Keep an eye on them, they are just those two people! If you find evidence, you can fight back. We can't just let today's incident go like this! Qin Ruhuan's eyebrows were stern and her eyes were cold.

After dinner, they returned home, all exhausted. This time, Qianxun sent more than twenty secret guards to hide around them.

Chunhua walked while looking at the people around her. Qin Ruhuan saw that she was scared, so she comforted her: "Don't worry, we are all here."

Chunhua nodded slightly without saying anything.

Inside the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion.

After returning home, Qin Ruhuan let Chunhua rest and arranged a maid to take care of her.

Qiuyue helped her remove her makeup and wash. "Miss, Chunhua is so unhappy and doesn't talk. She seems like a different person. Maybe she has been hurt."

"I've thought about it too, but since she doesn't want to say it, let's not ask. A woman's reputation is important." Qin Ruhuan sighed helplessly. After all, she failed to protect Chunhua.

That night, Qin Ruhuan sat in front of the window in a daze. After her rebirth, she changed a lot of life trajectories, causing many things to be different from what happened in her previous life.

But even though she had Qianxun Pavilion, hundreds of loyal warriors, and a lot of money, she still felt powerless sometimes. Just like what happened to Chunhua!

It was late at night, and she went back to bed in a not-so-good mood. In a daze, she heard a faint sound from the window.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and sure enough, the man was already standing in front of the bed.

"Xiao Jingxuan, are you sick? Why do you always come to my boudoir in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Jingxuan's mouth sank, and he felt a little depressed. "I just came to tell you that I didn't come to propose marriage today because the emperor summoned me to the palace!"

Qin Ruhuan rolled her eyes at him, "As if I would agree if you proposed marriage to me, I won't agree, so just give up on this idea!"

Xiao Jingxuan looked at her and said these words indifferently, and felt very hurt in his heart, as if a huge rock was pressing on him, and he was slowly sinking.

"You will agree! I will leave for Qingzhou tomorrow morning. It will take seven days at the earliest and half a month at the slowest. You wait for me at home, and I will come to propose marriage when I come back."

Qin Ruhuan turned her head away, ignored him, and continued to sleep.

"You're fine! I'm leaving, Huan'er!"

After saying that, he turned over and walked out, disappearing into the night.

The next day.

After breakfast, Qin Ruhuan decided to look for Qianxun. She had originally intended to go look at the shop the day before, but ended up not being able to go.

Qin Ruhuan wanted Chunhua to rest at home and Qiuyue to accompany her, but Chunhua insisted on going. Ruhuan saw that Chunhua was in good spirits except that she was not talkative, so she agreed.

This time, Qin Ruhuan chose to travel by horse carriage. Although it was difficult to travel because of the crowds, the same thing as last time would not happen again.

Soon, several people came to Zuiyue Tower to pick up Qianxun. When Gu Junheng saw this, he wanted to go too. As there was no room, he even drove the driver off and he drove the car. Qianxun also sat next to him.

Seeing the handsome young man turned into a pale-faced rickshaw driver, several people couldn't help laughing, but Chunhua was the only one who still had no expression.

Along the way, passers-by looked sideways, wondering, are all the coachmen of wealthy families so good-looking now?

The carriage turned a few streets and arrived at the shop.

The shop is very big and has two floors. It used to be a restaurant, but it went bankrupt for some unknown reason.

The shopkeeper was a short and fat man with a pair of eyes that kept rolling around. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

"Boss, why did you close this tavern? It has such a great location!" Chihiro asked.

"Sir, the master has some personal matters to attend to and can't take care of it. Originally, I wanted to sell it for 2,000 taels, but now that I see that you are quite sincere, I will only sell it for 1,500 taels!"

Before Qianxun could speak, Gu Junheng chuckled twice, "How dare you ask for a price! For a bankrupt place like this, it's good enough that someone wants it, and you're still trying to raise the price!"

"Sir, you are joking. That's impossible! We are sincere in selling it. This price is already a fair price!"

At this time, the person sent by Chihiro came and said something in Chihiro's ear.

Qianxun smiled and looked at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you are not honest either. Someone got into a fight over drinking in your restaurant before and someone was killed!"
