"Really?"
Cheng Su'er suddenly got up and sized up Cheng Zhong. "If you really miss me, Father, why didn't you send someone to look for me after I went missing? Father is the lord of a city. It should be easy to send a few people to find him, right?"
Without waiting for Cheng Zhong to explain, Cheng Su'er continued, "Father probably won't say that you don't know about my disappearance, right? After all, the entire Zhuang Prefectural City is under your management. If you don't even know that your daughter is missing, how are you going to manage such a huge city?"
Cheng Su'er's words were obviously blocking Cheng Zhong's way out, making him unable to quibble.
"I did know about Madam Su's disappearance," Cheng Zhong gritted his teeth and admitted it, because once he denied it, Cheng Su'er might seize the excuse that he couldn't manage a city and ask the eldest prince to remove his position as the City Lord.
