The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2164 - 2166: There’s Something Wrong with the Town

This time the news came quickly, reaching us by the next day, reporting a large group of people heading west.

Leading them was a young man in black clothes and a mask.

Upon hearing this description, Yang Chuxia immediately thought of how Prince Le used to dress as the owner of the Fancy Red Pavilion, in black clothes and a mask!

Upon hearing this news, Yang Chuxia, without further thought, left Ye Zi’an and his son in the Yunchuan Prefecture City and personally led a group to give chase.

"Dad, did Mom just leave us like this?" Lele was holding a letter, his mouth pouted, looking very unhappy.

"She left you, don’t drag me into it." Ye Zi’an put away the letter, and added, "Your mother would never leave me behind. I’m staying here for legitimate reasons. As for you, well, you were left behind."

"..." Lele covered his face, thinking that his dad’s explanation made things worse.

"Here, this chess game is your task for the next few days." Ye Zi’an, seeing him so bored he might as well stare at the sky, set up another game with a clatter, "I have work to do and can’t take you out for now. But if you are really bored, you must take Ye Er with you if you go out."

"Got it." Lele’s attention was quickly absorbed by the chessboard.

Meanwhile, Ye Zi’an went out with a few others. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

On the other side, Yang Chuxia first reached the small town where Yangyang had once stayed.

"Madam, the first news of the Second Young Master came from here." Accompanying her was Ye Liu.

Although not as skilled as Ye Yi in gathering information, he was the best among the others.

"Did Yangyang suddenly appear here back then?"

"That’s right!" Ye Liu nodded, "I investigated, and this town isn’t big. The people here all know each other, and our young master was obviously not a child from this town."

"They all know each other?" Yang Chuxia felt something was off. "I remember the information back then mentioned that Yangyang encountered a kidnapper in this town and captured him. When they wanted someone to report to the authorities, everyone here refused, saying the prefecture was too far and it was difficult to report."

"Indeed it was so!"

"This is not right!" Yang Chuxia shook her head, "In any case, kidnappers are not tolerated. There are quite a few people in this town, some with children. As parents, no one can tolerate their child being abducted. Therefore, when facing kidnappers, if not furious enough to want to kill, at least they wouldn’t let two kidnappers slip away under their noses."

"It’s not like the prefecture is a world away from here. The town has carriages, and sending someone to the authorities wouldn’t take much time. So why is no one willing to go? What’s the reason?"

"Madam, there might be something wrong with this town."

Yang Chuxia nodded, "We’ll stay here for a night to investigate, then leave tomorrow. As for Yangyang, send a few people to pursue him. Also, have two others look around for the place where Yangyang was held; it can’t be far from here."

"Yes!"

As they spoke, they arrived at the door of an inn.

They were greeted by a female innkeeper who was momentarily startled by the group Yang Chuxia brought but quickly smiled, "Madam, will you be staying or dining?"

"Both!" Yang Chuxia sat at a table, "Bring some good wine and dishes quickly!"

"Okay, should I prepare some upper rooms for you, Madam?"
