Chapter 365: The Whole City Searches for a Benefactor!
At this moment, Old Mrs. Zheng's face was ferocious, ugly and terrifying, like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell.
It is even more terrifying than evil spirits.
Jiang Ning could hardly imagine how her mother had survived the past twenty years!
No wonder.
She's so thin.
No wonder.
She would wake up inexplicably at night.
No wonder she was malnourished!
No wonder she's so cautious about everything she does now...
"Fan Yue'e, remember how you look now," Jiang Ning clenched her right fist, her gaze fixed on Old Madam Zheng, and said, word by word, "I will make you and your daughter wish you were dead!"
Every word is chilling, as if separated by a pane of glass, sending shivers down one's spine.
Even Grandma Zheng was frightened by Jiang Ning's appearance.
How strange!
She was clearly just a young girl in her early twenties.
How could someone have such an imposing aura!
snort!
Grandma Zheng narrowed her eyes and snorted inwardly.
Even if she has that kind of aura, so what?
Jiang Ning is now a prisoner.
Grasshoppers in autumn won't be able to hop around for much longer!
Killing Jiang Ning would be easier for her than crushing an ant.
Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Zheng's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Living a life worse than death? How laughable! Shi Sheng, haven't you figured out your current situation? You're already in a predicament, barely able to save yourself. Want revenge? In your next life!"
At this point, Old Mrs. Zheng looked up at Jiang Ning, and her cold voice rang out again.
"No, someone as worthless as you, you might not be able to turn your life around, not even in your next life."
At the end of her speech, Grandma Zheng burst into hearty laughter.
She loved how Shi Sheng, that little bitch, hated her but couldn't do anything about it.
Quiet!
That was so satisfying!

the other side.
Wettin Castle.
Two or three hours had passed, and there was still no news from Doctor Wentian. Sally was getting anxious and went to Zack again.
"Has the Divine Physician Wentian replied yet?"
Zach was also a little anxious, "Not yet."
"How could this be!" Sally's face was pale. "Did we accidentally offend the Divine Physician Wentian, and that's why she doesn't want to come?"
Only the problem doctor can cure Hollis's illness now.
Nobody knows how anxious Sally was!
“My master isn’t the type to fuss over details,” Zack narrowed his eyes, a vague sense of unease creeping into his mind. “Something’s happened. Something must have happened to my master!”
"Something happened?" Sally asked immediately.
“Yes.” Zack nodded, then said, “Your Majesty, we must immediately dispatch the hidden guards to find my master!”
Although Zach hadn't seen his master for a long time.
But he understood his master's personality.
Although the master appears and disappears without a trace, he will never break his promise.
and so.
Something must have happened.
The Hidden Guards are a group of informants trained by the royal family.
This group of people usually live in every corner of Country P.
From ordinary people to the very bottom.
From princes and nobles down to the lowest ranks.
As long as the hidden guards are deployed, they can find the person in the shortest amount of time.
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away.” Sally nodded quickly.
Although the royal family cannot easily deploy their secret guards, the situation is urgent and they have no choice but to do so.

It was past 1 p.m. when Mrs. Zheng returned from the police station.
As soon as she returned, Zheng Xiangrou excitedly ran over, "Mom, you're back! Is that little bastard really locked up?"
"Yes." Old Mrs. Zheng narrowed her eyes. "However, that little bastard is quite stubborn. He was locked in the dark room for several hours, but he just wouldn't sign the confession."
This was something that Old Mrs. Zheng never expected.
Before leaving, she specifically asked Audrey to take her to the dark room to experience it, thinking that the dark room would be nothing special.
But as soon as she stepped inside, she felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation.
Let alone being locked in a dark room for several hours.
She couldn't even stay for ten minutes.
Hearing this, Zheng Xiangrou narrowed her eyes. "She hasn't signed it yet because she hasn't been detained long enough. Just wait! She'll definitely be begging to sign the confession by tomorrow morning."
Although Zheng Xiangrou had never personally experienced the dark room, she had read online that even people with strong willpower could not stay there for more than ten hours at a time.
Grandma Zheng nodded, agreeing with her daughter's reasoning.
Zheng Xiangrou continued, "By the way, Mom, did you see the emergency news released by the royal family?"
"What news?" Grandma Zheng asked curiously.
Zheng Xiangrou continued, "The royal family is currently searching for a noble person! A nine-figure reward is offered! Anyone who can help find that noble person, even with just a single valid clue, will be directly promoted to a higher rank!"
Elevate the title of nobility?
A noble title would make one a true member of the imperial family!
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zheng asked incredulously, "Really?"
“Of course it’s true.” Zheng Xiangrou took out her phone. “Look, this is the latest news released by the royal family.”
Grandma Zheng took Zheng Xiangrou's phone and looked at it carefully.
As Zheng Xiangrou said.
The noble person the royal family was looking for was extremely distinguished, so the reward was top-tier.
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Zheng narrowed her eyes.
Zheng Xiangrou then spoke up, "Mom, do you think if we can help the royal family find this important person, we won't have to rely on the Windsor family anymore?"
Not only do they not need to rely on the Windsor family for support.
The Zheng family will all be granted titles, and even the Windsor family will have to defer to them in the future.
In this way, they can completely wash away the humiliation they have suffered, return to China in glory, and bring honor to their ancestors.
“That’s true,” Old Mrs. Zheng looked up at Zheng Xiangrou, her eyes filled with complex emotions. Over the years, she had longed to wash away the humiliation she had suffered and return to China in glory. “But even the royal family can’t find such a noble person. It might not be so easy for us to find one.”
If it were really that easy to find a benefactor, the royal family wouldn't have bothered to release this news.
Zheng Xiangrou continued, "I heard that the distinguished person is not very old and is Chinese. There aren't many Chinese in P country! And it's naturally easier for compatriots to find each other than for others. Mom, don't be so pessimistic. I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our family."
"If we really help them find a benefactor, they'll be able to do whatever they want in P country from now on."
As she spoke, Zheng Xiangrou drifted into a state of endless fantasy.
After speaking, Zheng Xiangrou looked at Old Madam Zheng and met her gaze. "The reason why the royal family can't find that noble person is probably because she has encountered some trouble and can't contact the royal family. If we find that noble person first and provide her with help, wouldn't we become the noble person's benefactors?"
Zheng Xiangrou couldn't even imagine what kind of glory it would be if she became the benefactor of a royal noble!
By the time.
Even Cyril has to be mindful of her feelings!
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiangrou's eyes were filled with excitement.
She could almost picture Cyria humbly deferring to her.
What's so great about a noblewoman's daughter?
She'll still be the eldest daughter of the Duke's family in the future!
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zheng was also very excited, squinting her eyes and saying, "Xiang Rou, you are right. It seems that our most important task now is to find that benefactor as soon as possible!"
Once they find a benefactor, the Zheng family will become an invincible force, whether in P country or China.
Zheng Xiangrou continued, "Then I'll go make the arrangements now."
"Yes." Grandma Zheng nodded. "Go quickly."
For a while.
The Zheng family also entered a state of emergency to search for people.
Jiang Ning invited Xiliya to go shopping with them in the afternoon.
Around 2 PM, Siriya arrived at the hotel on time.
Celia looks beautiful today.
She wore a pink and white dress, had two braids, a pretty hat, and a pearl necklace, making her look especially youthful and beautiful.
The person who opened the door was Yue Qianlan.
"March, here I come! Where's Shengbao? Let's get ready to go!"
Yue Qianlan's expression was not good. She looked into the inner room and lowered her voice, saying, "Siriya, I was just about to contact you. Ningning said she was going to see a doctor this morning and would be back in about two or three hours. She left at eight o'clock this morning, and it's already two o'clock in the afternoon, but she still hasn't returned."
"What's even stranger is that her phone is also switched off when I try to contact her."
Yue Qianlan was very anxious, but she was afraid that Si Huashang would worry if she found out. Just as she was about to contact Xilia, Xilia arrived.
Upon hearing this, Celia also became anxious, "How could this happen! Did Shengbao tell you where she was going when she left?"
Yue Qianlan shook her head. "She only said she was going out to see a doctor, but she didn't say where she was going."
Seria frowned slightly. "March, don't rush. Let me have someone investigate."
"Okay." Yue Qianlan glanced inside and then said, "Let's not let Auntie know about this yet."
Si Huashang's mental state was not very good to begin with.
If they knew this, their symptoms would definitely worsen.
Cyril nodded. "Okay, I understand."
After exchanging pleasantries with Yue Qianlan, Xiliya went inside.
Si Huashang is taking medicine.
The medicine was prescribed by Jiang Ning, and Yue Qianlan brewed it in the kitchen.
Upon seeing Cyril enter, Si Huashang immediately put down the medicine bowl and asked, "Miss Cyril, you've arrived. Where's Shengbao? Did she come back with you?"
Xilia said with a smile, "Shengbao just texted me saying she has other things to do and can't come back for the time being."
"Oh." Si Huashang nodded, then asked, "Did she say what it was about?"
For some reason, Si Huashang felt her heart racing.
Cyril shook her head. "I don't know the specifics either."
At this point, Xiliya sat down next to Si Huashang and continued, "Auntie, don't worry, Shengbao will naturally come back after she has dealt with things."
"Hmm, I'm not in a hurry."
Buzzing--
Suddenly, the sound of a cell phone vibrating filled the air.
Seria glanced at the caller ID. "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'll go to the balcony to take this call."
“Okay,” Si Huashang nodded, “Go quickly.”
As soon as Xilia stepped onto the balcony and answered the phone, she eagerly asked, "Hello, have you found out where Shengbao is?"
No one knows what was said on the other end, but Cyriya's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
A few minutes later.
She hung up the phone and sent a message to Yue Qianlan.
Upon seeing the message, Yue Qianlan immediately went to the balcony. "Siriya, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could Ningning have been arrested?"
Xilia frowned. "It was the Zheng family who did this. In March, you stay here with your aunt. I'm going back for a bit. Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to rescue Shengbao."
