The paper was crumpled and wrinkled, and it was filled with blood-red words.

Su Leyun took the paper and smelled it. It was not blood, but cinnabar.

The person who wanted to write this letter knew very well that using such a color would stimulate Mrs. Lin even more.

The font is neat and neat, and the writing style is rough but elegant, as if it was written by a man.

"This paper says that the madam is required to bring one thousand taels of silver to exchange for the young lady. Otherwise, they will... they will attack the young lady!"

When Ping'er finished speaking, she couldn't help but cover her mouth to stifle her sobs.

Such harsh words made Mrs. Lin, who was already in a daze, lose her mind instantly.

Su Leyun looked at each word, his expression becoming more and more condensed.

"Where is Mr. Lin now?"

"The master and his men are looking for the young lady outside. I have already sent someone to deliver the message, but I don't know how long it will take, and..." Ping'er stared at the paper in her hand, "What this paper says will be of no use even if the master comes back." ah."

That's the truth.

Su Leyun put the paper aside, took out the pills that had not been taken by Mrs. Lin before, and put them into Mrs. Lin's mouth.

This time, Ping'er didn't have time to stop her. When she saw it, she couldn't help but screamed: "Miss Su, didn't you tell me? How can you take medicine randomly!"

"Doctor, please take a look quickly."

The doctor was about to reach out and feel the pulse when he saw Mrs. Lin's eyelids moving slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.

His complexion also improved a lot.

This medicine works!

The doctor put his hand on her, and her pulse was no longer blocked and became smooth.

"This medicine is actually so effective?"

Although acupuncture can also improve the pulse condition, it is really difficult to do it quickly like this.

The doctor removed his hand and said, "Madam is fine."

As he spoke, his eyes drifted towards Su Leyun from time to time.

Ping'er stepped forward and asked, "Madam, how do you feel?"

"...Qingqing!" Mrs. Lin's somewhat dull eyes suddenly sobered up after seeing Ping'er, "I want to save Qingqing!"

"Mrs. Lin, please calm down first."

Ping'er almost couldn't hold down Mrs. Lin, and a figure fell beside her.

Su Leyun helped restrain Mrs. Lin and said softly, "Mrs. Lin, if you go like this, not only may you not be able to save Qingqing, but you may even get into trouble yourself."

"It's my fault."

Mrs. Lin choked up with tears in the corners of her eyes, "If I hadn't taken Qingqing out yesterday, she wouldn't have been taken away."

Su Leyun gently stroked Mrs. Lin's back, "Mrs. Lin, don't worry, Qingqing will be fine. The most important thing now is that you also need to calm down, Qingqing is still waiting for you."

After saying that, Su Leyun winked at Ping'er, who reacted and quickly poured a glass of water for Mrs. Lin to drink.

After drinking the warm water, Mrs. Lin's mood calmed down a lot.

"The first thing we need to do now is to raise money. Mrs. Lin, can your family have a thousand taels of silver?"

Mrs. Lin was infected by Su Leyun's unhurried expression, and she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Ping'er, take someone to the warehouse to take stock."

"yes."

Ping'er responded and quickly led the people out of the yard to the warehouse.

A maid came forward to straighten Mrs. Lin's clothes. Mrs. Lin hooked her hair behind her ears and said in a anxious tone, "Leyun, what should I do next?"

"There is no place for the transaction written on this paper. I think the other party will send news again." Su Leyun was thoughtful, and then looked at Cuiliu, "Cuiliu, you meet Sun Wen and go take a look at the surrounding situation. If there is any If there is any movement, don’t alert others, report it first.”

Cuiliu nodded heavily, turned around and went out.

"Will they really come again?"

Mrs. Lin twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and her calm mood became uneasy again because of Su Leyun's words.

Come again, what else will they bring?

She didn't dare to think about it.

Just thinking about her daughter in their hands made her feel a little breathless.

"lady!"

The dull sound of footsteps came, it was Shangshu Lin who was back.

Seeing her husband, Mrs. Lin immediately greeted her, as if she had someone to rely on, "Master, those people said they wanted money to redeem Qingqing."

Shangshu Lin was calmer than Mrs. Lin. He supported his wife and said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't worry, no matter how much money you spend, I will bring Qingqing back."

"No, sir..." Mrs. Lin couldn't help biting her lower lip when she heard what Lin Shangshu said, her voice trembling, "They want me to go alone."

"Let you go? How can this be done!"

When Lin Shangshu heard this, he naturally refused.

Something happened to his daughter, and he couldn't let anything happen to his wife again!

Those people dare to arrest the minister's children under the capital, who knows what they will do.

Lin Shangshu disagreed ten thousand times.

"Master, we can't watch anything happen to Qingqing!"

Although Mrs. Lin is also afraid, her worry about her daughter far outweighs her fear. She is naturally willing to do it for her daughter.

Just when the two were still convincing each other, Ping'er came back.

"Sir, madam, there is exactly one thousand taels of silver in the warehouse, and I have already put it in the box."

"Okay, Ping'er, take care of Madam. I will personally take Yinliang to pick up Qingqing."

"Master, just think of Qingqing and let me go."

Mrs. Lin said, her eyes were red and she couldn't stop crying.

Lin Shangshu didn't feel distressed after seeing this, but how dare he let his wife take risks?

"Madam, you can just wait for the news at home."

"Miss!"

Cuiliu jumped into the house, holding a piece of paper in her hand.

Su Leyun took the note and handed it to Mrs. Lin.

When I opened it, I found the place of transaction written inside, which was a dilapidated temple in the suburbs.

"This...this is Qingqing's handkerchief!"

Mrs. Lin's eyes fell under the note, which was covered with a handkerchief.

The handkerchief was sewn by Mrs. Lin herself, so she could recognize it at a glance.

There was still a little bit of blood on it, and it still looked fresh.

"Master, is this their warning?" Mrs. Lin's hand holding the handkerchief couldn't stop shaking, "No, master, I have to go!"

Lin Shangshu also hesitated, and after weighing it, he said: "Madam, let's go together."

"I have an idea."

Su Leyun suddenly spoke.

——

It took about a stick of incense to get from the inside of the city to the outside.

The carriage stopped not far from its destination. The driver jumped out of the carriage and said into the carriage: "Madam, we've arrived."

Then the coachman turned and left.

After waiting for a while, a hand stretched out and slowly pushed the car curtain open.

Mrs. Lin stepped out of the carriage wearing a veil.

The temple was not far away. She took a deep breath, her eyes flashed slightly, and she walked forward.

Just as they were approaching the entrance of the temple, a voice sounded.

"Mrs. Lin."

"who?"

Mrs. Lin was startled and looked around in a panic, but there was no one there.

But the sound sounded like it was coming from my ears.

Mrs. Lin tightened her sleeves and took a step forward, "I...have brought the money...where is Qingqing?"
