Seeing Mi'er dash toward the kitchen, Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Cheng family members. Her gaze swept over the Cheng family patriarch, the several elders stripped of their cultivation, and the guards before she asked, "Where is your Patriarch?"
The Cheng family Old Predecessor froze, only now realizing that Cheng Wanshan was missing. Recalling the commotion from the kitchen and the absence of Cheng Wanshan, his face instantly drained of color. He shouted in alarm, "Where is Cheng Wanshan? Where did he go?"
Behind him, cold sweat seeped through his clothes as his heart sank.
Please, let it not be what he feared...
"My lady, Little Qi is gone. A bowl fell on the kitchen floor—it was the dish I served her just before coming out. The kitchen window was open; she must have been kidnapped through it," Mi'er said, her face filled with self-reproach.
It was all her fault for not watching her closely, leaving her alone in the kitchen.
