Chapter 84: The Girl Goes Missing
April day, daughter's face.
At the beginning of the morning sun, she peeked out of the dark green mountain shadow on the horizon like a girl, and looked left and right shyly, and then slowly sprinkled the gradually blazing sunlight.
At a golden point, thousands of beams of glow were scattered, as if a layer of red, orange and yellow color crossed the clouds that gradually spread around them.
Peng Qiangxi walked out in a shirt, his face was slightly flushed, his eyes were tired, and his eyes were full of unconcealed dissatisfaction.
"Master, are you up?"
Fugui, who was keeping vigil, hurriedly caught up, glanced at the blood on the corner of his clothes out of the corner of his eye, took a step back quietly, and waved his hand behind him.
"Master, wash and change clothes here. β
Peng Qiangxi stretched and glanced back slightly at the room.
"Tell someone to send this useless back to the troupe, and replace it with a useful one. β
Fugui responded softly, and didn't look at what the people in the wing room behind him were tossed into, and followed him to the next wing room to wait.
Changing into a blue brocade robe, Peng Qiangxi sat down at the dining table.
Fugui hurriedly stepped forward to cloth vegetables.
"I went out for most of the day yesterday, what's the news?"
Peng Qiangxi originally gave birth to a pair of phoenix eyes, but because of Chengri's gloomy face, the upper eyelids were pressed down, and he turned into a gloomy eagle eye.
At this moment, he rolled his eyelids and stared at Fugui, his eyes were perverse, which made Fugui's back cold.
This lord is obviously in a bad mood, and he didn't feel very comfortable last night.
At the moment, Fugui put on a flattering smile.
"The people in the village have tight mouths, and they couldn't ask anything before, but they had a fun breath yesterday, which is related to Aunt Zhu. β
Peng Qiangxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Say." β
"A while ago, Aunt Zhu and her daughter said that a village girl stole her hairpin and invited the village chief to judge the case, but the hairpin was picked up by a beggar and put on her head. β
Peng Qiangxi's face showed a slight impatience.
Fugui hurriedly continued: "According to the person who picked it up, the hairpin was picked up in the grove with a belly pocket embroidered with lotus flowers and a man's sweat towel. β
"Zhu Qinglian's maiden name is Zhu Qinglian, and everyone in the village knows that her clothes and handkerchiefs are embroidered with different forms of white lotus. β
Embroidered white lotus's belly pocket?
Peng Qiangxi was slightly interested.
A woman who has the smell of foxes overflowing the street actually likes the White Lotus?
Peng Qiangxi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "Who is that sweat towel?"
Fugui shook his head, "Master Zhou, that is, Aunt Zhu's man, said it was his." However, the villagers said that the sweat towel was dirty and old, and it was very different from what the master used on a daily basis. β
Own man?
"The people in the village said that Master Zhou was upright and upright, not like a person who would go to the woods to play, and they all said that Aunt Zhu couldn't bear the loneliness - the red apricot was out of the wall. β
With his own woman, why bother to run into the grove?
Out of the wall.
Peng Qiangxi's gloomy eyebrows and eyes suddenly softened.
"Some people say that it was Aunt Zhu and the people who secretly performed the Zhou Gong ceremony in the grove, and they were bumped into by someone, and they didn't even have time to wear their belly pockets, so they ran away in a hurry, so they let people pick up belly pockets, hairpins and sweat towels. β
Cheating in the woods is like what the fox demon would do.
"It's just that the sweat towel is dirty and old, so people can't guess who the adulterer is?"
The sweat towel is dirty and old, who is this out of the wall?
"The people in the village said that I wish my aunt was born...... , when I followed my master, I also climbed into bed first, and when I had a body, I married my aunt. β
Born cheap, what I said is accurate.
"What's going on at Master Zhou's house?"
"The family has a little land, which is rented to my brother to plant, and he mainly makes a living by running a private school in the village. Although I don't say that I am poor, I am also stretched, and I haven't bought any jewelry for Aunt Zhu over the years, except for this silver hairpin. β
Poor.
With the posture of my aunt, it is not difficult to find a rich person, why bother with a poor master?
"What does it look like?"
Fugui looked at his young master's face, and said thoughtfully: "Master Zhou's head is Zhou Zheng, tall, with sword eyebrows, and a handful of beautiful hair, which has a taste of fairy wind bones. It's just that, after all, you're old, and your demeanor can't be compared with that of the young master. β
If you don't want money, that's the picture.
So why is the red apricot out of the wall?
"Go and inquire about who Aunt Zhu's adulterer is, and see how handsome he is. β
Zhu Qinglian, who was remembered, was walking anxiously around the house at the moment, and when she saw Zhou Zhiyuan frowning and walking in from outside, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Xianggong, is there any news of Feng Ling?"
Zhou Zhiyuan shook his head, "The eldest brother, the second brother, and Junchen have all gone to look for it, and asked me to come back to see if she has come back." β
Yesterday, Zhou Fengling went out to play early in the morning and didn't return all night.
"If you can't find it again, just report to the official!"
The man stroked a pinch of beard on his chin and frowned.
"No way!"
Zhu Qinglian refused completely, "Report to the official, make it known to everyone, do you want Feng Ling's reputation?"
Her Feng Ling is going to marry out to be the head of the house, she was taken away and didn't return all night, such a famous student spreads, what other big family dares to marry her?
"Is reputation or life important?"
Last night, both husband and wife stayed awake all night, and Zhou Zhiyuan wanted to report to the official several times, but Zhu Qinglian held them down.
The woman did not wear makeup, her white face was slightly scorched at the moment, her cheeks were scattered with some spots, and her eyes were a little dark and blue, and she was very haggard.
Zhou Zhiyuan's heart softened.
Ever since he took her in, he had never seen her unkempt.
Even if he suspected her of going out of the wall and forbade her feet that day, he didn't see her haggard and decadent, but carefully dressed herself every day and lived a leisurely life.
It made him suspicious a little.
"As long as a person lives, it doesn't matter if I raise her for the rest of her life. β
"You can't report to the official. β
Zhu Qinglian shook her head firmly, "Feng Ling is a little girl, she has never offended anyone, no one will kill herβbesides, there has never been a case of a missing girl in our village, she must be fine." β
As he said this, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
Dressed in brocade clothes, full of pearls, a pair of sharp black and white eyes gently swept across the audience, with an unstoppable arrogance.
It's her?
No, how did she find here?
Jiang Qingwan can find it, why can't she?
No, although Jiang Qingwan is with her, it is the Zeng family of the governor of Fuguang who is behind it.
She's just a merchant, no matter how big her business is, her power can't be compared with Governor Fuguang, right?
A pair of peach blossom eyes flashed around, but his face became whiter and whiter, his legs became softer and softer, and finally he fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Qinglian?"
Zhou Zhiyuan hurriedly went to help, Zhu Qinglian took the opportunity to lean on her husband, looking at him with admiration on her face, "Xianggong-"
The soft cry of wanting to cry, the tactful and sad ending, like tears hanging in the corners of the peach blossom eyes.
Zhou Zhiyuan was completely defeated, stretched out his big hand, and took her in his arms.
"You're right, Feng Ling has never had any enemies, it's okay, it's just that I'm thinking too much. β
Zhu Qinglian closed her eyes.
If it was really her, with her ruthless heart, what would she do to Zhou Fengling?
If it was her, why didn't she come to herself?
"You rest, I'll go to Fengling's good house to look for it." β
Zhou Zhiyuan walked on his front foot, and there was a knock on the door.
Zhu Qinglian was startled, and calmed down again in an instant.
Unhurriedly, he applied a little powder, wiped some rouge lipstick, straightened his clothes, and slowly walked over and opened the door with an indifferent face.
A gray-clad boy stood in the doorway, with a respectful and detached smile on his face.
At first glance, it is a dog trained by a large family.
For those who are powerful, they are always respectful and flattering, for those who are powerless, they are ruthless and arrogant, and for those who can't figure out the situation, they are this kind of self-contained and respectful, alienated and decent smirk.
Zhu Qinglian's heart trembled slightly, but her face was charming and affectionate, "Who are you looking for?"
The gray-clothed little guy looked at the person without a trace, and bowed his hand, "Excuse me, are you Zhu Aunt Zhu Grandma?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"Hello to you," the little maid bowed, "I wish grandma, I am our Aunt Jiang's little maid, and I am entrusted by our master to send you a letter." β
As he spoke, he presented an envelope written with Qinglian's sister personally opened.
Jiang Qingwan.
Zhu Qinglian felt a little relieved in her heart.
Although she doesn't know how Jiang Qingwan found her, Jiang Qingwan is just the aunt of the son of the Zeng family, although she blows out one by one, but the sons of the Zeng family are all strong and brilliant, and this son from the concubine does not seem to be so famous.
"Okay, I got it, you can go back. β
The little guy was stunned for a moment, and the big thumb brother and the second thumb brother subconsciously rubbed it.
When you go out to deliver letters, how can you not be rewarded?
Zhu Qinglian closed the door and turned around and left.
Sure enough, it's a poor embryo, phew!
The little guy rolled his eyes and walked away hatefully.
