Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

She was most afraid and very worried that this would happen!

Without a second to lose, the group hurried towards the direction pointed out by the pedestrian. They had to hurry and find her lady, or there would be serious consequences!

“Miss Wang, where are you?” Little Tian shouted loudly as she ran.

She hoped Wang Xiangyun could hear her and give her a response so that she could locate the position.

But what she got in return were the vendors’ street cries and the haggling between buyer and seller for the commodities.

Ye Mo, who was resting on the bullock-cart, heard Little Tian’s pleas and looked up from his position.

It was indeed Little Tian. He had met her once before. He arched his eyebrows, instantly realizing that the woman who the punks had dragged away just now was the woman who had asked about him in front of the tailor shop several days ago.

He mumbled inwardly again, why aren’t you by your lady’s side? Isn’t it too late to look for her now?

He did not have to guess. Wang Xiangyun must be facing a lifetime’s worth of nightmares right now!

“Miss, about the lady you’re looking for, is she a pretty woman who wears a beautiful dress?” a passer-by approached Little Tian and asked.

“Yes, exactly. Do you know where she is?” she answered hurriedly.

When the person heard she was really looking for Wang Xiangyun, she hastily said, “She was taken by three punks a moment ago. Why weren’t you by her side?” she said, placing the blame on Little Tian and the ones behind her.

Wherever a rich lady or young master went, their servants and guards should be right beside them for protection.

Little Tian certainly did not have the energy to explain herself. She could not care for etiquette either as she grabbed the passer-by’s arm, practically begging, “Madam, please, can you take us to her? We are foreigners and we are not familiar with these streets.”

But the woman pushed her away. “I have other business to attend to. I can’t take you. I may be one of the locals but I don’t come to town often.”

She did not want the punks to pick on her after this, so she turned down Little Tian and ‘escaped,’ leaving her speechless.

It was such an easy task, yet why wasn’t anyone willing to do it? She just needed someone to show her the way!

She went around asking others for help but, one by one, those who made eye contact with her quickly turned away. The vendors either left or pretended to be busy.

Running out of ideas, Little Tian ordered the other servants, “Go look for the lady and hurry! Search through all the alleys along these streets!”

The servants immediately sprang into action.

Little Tian was about to get moving too when she spotted Ye Mo with his accounts booklet on a bullock-cart a short distance away.

She quickly ran to him. “Master Ye, did you see my lady being dragged away by those punks? Where did they go? Can you lead the way? Please, you have to help me. I thank you for that.”

She thought that if the pedestrians around here had seen what happened, surely that included Ye Mo too.

Ye Mo looked up to find Little Tian sweating all over. He showed no surprise that she knew his last name.

“I don’t have the time!” he replied as he sank his head lower into the accounts book.

The income so far had been quite promising. He ought to split the bonuses with Li Wazi’s family by the end of the month.

Little Tian had to try. There was the possibility that Ye Mo had not witnessed the act because he had his nose in the book. Yet, his reply stunned her.
