Meanwhile in the Hua clan.
Mrs. Hua sat quietly in the Ink Cleansing Hall, holding the prayer beads in her hand and counting them one by one with her eyes closed. No one dared to enter the house, let alone disturb her. Everyone was perfectly silent and trembling in fear, afraid that the old lady would kill them all in anger.
Outside the hall stood the eldest Master Hua and Hua Wuyin, his brother, as well as their wives and children. Everyone in the Hua family was gathered outside the door, waiting for the old lady's instructions. The old lady was the backbone of the clan. Once she was gone, the Hua family wouldn't know what to do.
Master Hua was the most anxious because the one in trouble was his daughter, Hua Wushuang. It took him some painstaking effort to persuade the Zuo family to leave.
At first, the Zuo family wouldn't leave, but Master Hua told them that he would hand Hua Wushuang over to the Zuo family when he found her. Only then did the Zuo family leave reluctantly.
"Have you found Wushuang?" Master Hua asked anxiously when he saw Aunt Xi.
Aunt Xi shook her head at him.
Master Hua was instantly enraged. "What have you been doing?! How could you let Wushuang do such a thing? Now, you actually can't find her?!"
Aunt Xi had just been humiliated by Yu Mingye, and now that she was back, she had to listen to this. How frustrating.
"Aunt Xi, come in."
Mrs. Hua's indifferent voice came from inside. Aunt Xi knew that the old lady was in an extremely gloomy mood. She carefully entered and quietly closed the door before walking to the old lady.
"How did it go?" Mrs. Hua stared at Aunt Xi.
Aunt Xi's expression was ugly as she shook her head. "I couldn't find Miss Wushuang. I've searched everywhere, but there's no sign of her. It's as if... she suddenly disappeared from this world." Mrs. Hua said, "She has to be somewhere."
Aunt Xi said, "But I really..."
Mrs. Hua said, "Unless she's hiding somewhere, or someone is hiding her!"
Aunt Xi said, "Then do you think she's been hidden against her will? Could it be the doing of the Zuo family..."
Mrs. Hua shook her head. "No. If the Zuo family had found her before us, Zuo Ming and his wife wouldn't have acted that way. They're just average actors."
Mrs. Hua pondered for a moment and said to Aunt Xi, "Did you encounter anything strange?"
Aunt Xi shook her head.
Mrs. Hua asked, "Not even a little?!"
Aunt Xi thought for a moment, then remembered Yu Mingye's carriage and Feng Wu. So, she told Mrs. Hua about it.
"Feng Wu?" Mrs. Hua frowned.
Aunt Xi said, "Yu Mingye and Feng Xun were there, and they took her home in a carriage. It seemed... fine."
Mrs. Hua asked Aunt Xi for more details, such as Feng Wu's clothes and accessories, and Aunt Xi answered all of them. Mrs. Hua thought about it, but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Feng Wu. However, she felt that something was amiss. "Go to the treasure room and get the Self-questioning Mirror," Mrs. Hua told Aunt Xi.
Aunt Xi nodded and left quickly. The Self-questioning Mirror was a magical mirror. It was Mrs. Hua's habit to ask the mirror if she was indecisive. After Aunt Xi left, a name kept appearing in Mrs. Hua's mind. Feng Wu. She finally understood what was wrong. Rumor had it that Jun Linyuan and Feng Wu were close, and even Mrs. Hua had seen it with her own eyes..
