Chapter 53: The Mad Dog in the Way
Lu Yunxi's eyes fell on Song Lan's body, and he pressed forward step by step.
Seeing this, Song Lan's heart also sank, and she took a few steps back, staring at Lu Yunxi in surprise.
"Qing'er doesn't have parents at all, doesn't the eldest lady know?"
"What?" Song Lan's heart tightened when she heard this.
She raised her eyebrows and stared at Lu Yunxi in surprise.
Lu Yunxi's shoulders shrugged, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
Qing'er's parents died three years ago.
It's just that on that day, Song Lan was powerful in the house, she had been following Lu Yunxi's mother and daughter, and she was naturally regarded as a thorn in Song Lan's side.
If it weren't for the pair of fake parents crying outside the house, Lu Yunxi would almost have decided that Qing'er was really kidnapped by the kidnappers.
It's just that although she knew in her heart that this matter must have been done by Song Lan, she didn't have half of the evidence in her hand, so she had to investigate it herself.
Lu Yunxi left Shilang's Mansion all the way, and went straight to Dyeing Xi Pavilion at the first stop.
The shop was bustling with activity.
Ever since the agar dew and lipstick became popular in the capital, the business of Dyeing Xige Pavilion has become one of the best on the street.
Whether it is the Xinglin Pavilion next door or the pastry shop in front of the street, there is no one that can compare to the Upper Dyeing Tide Pavilion.
These boudoir ladies in the capital don't seem to have to eat, don't have to buy jewelry and clothes, and only line up all day long to buy agar jade dew and lipstick.
Knowing that Lu Yunxi was coming to the shop, the shopkeeper quickly came down from upstairs and saluted Lu Yunxi, "Why did Miss come here today? The things sent by Miss Qing'er yesterday are being made in the backyard, do you want to take a look?"
Hearing this, Lu Yunxi raised the corners of her eyebrows, turned away, and stared at the shopkeeper, "Qing'er came here yesterday?"
The shopkeeper looked confused, "Didn't you order her to come?"
"When did she leave?Was there anything unusual when she left?Did anyone follow her?" Lu Yunxi didn't care so much, and poured out all her questions in one go.
The shopkeeper was even more puzzled, pursed his lower lip, and thought about it for a long time before shaking his head, "The Qing'er girl came in the afternoon, and she left after sitting for less than a stick of incense." There was nothing out of the ordinary, and no one followed. Miss, what's wrong?"
Lu Yunxi frowned, and the look in his eyes became a little more panicked.
The little guy on one side heard the conversation between the two, but greeted him, "Miss, there was indeed a strange thing in the store yesterday." ”
"What?" Hearing this, Lu Yunxi immediately turned his head, stared at the little guy, and said in a deep voice.
It turned out that the guy who was supposed to be a new guy was on duty yesterday, but until the afternoon, the guy didn't show up. But when Qing'er came, the guy and her actually arrived at the store with their front and back feet.
When the Qing'er girl left, the guy also said that he was unwell and took a day off, but he still hasn't come to work. ”
After listening to the little guy's words, the shopkeeper disagreed, "The new one is a thief." I also thought that after a day or two, I would send him away. That's kind of a strange thing. ”
But Lu Yunxi listened to everything in his ears, "Where is the new guy from?
The shopkeeper saw her with a solemn face, so he handed over all the information of the guy to Lu Yunxi.
Lu Yunxi got this thing, and he didn't care about talking to the shopkeeper anymore, so he turned around and left.
She had just walked out of the Dyeing Tide Pavilion on her side, but she saw Si Tingyan walking briskly towards the shop.
Seeing Lu Yunxi, Si Tingyan greeted him in a few steps, "I heard that Qing'er was kidnapped?
Lu Yunxi was still strange and strange why Si Tingyan was so well-informed, but when he thought of the trouble before the mansion today, he was afraid that it would be difficult for Si Tingyan to know it.
She frowned, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I just got some clues, and I'm about to investigate." ”
"I'll be with you. Si Tingyan glanced at the booklet in her hand and said softly.
In this situation, it is naturally good to have one more person.
Thinking about it, Lu Yunxi agreed, and left with Si Tingyan.
It was clearly written in the booklet that the new guy was sent to the Dyeing Tide Pavilion by Feng Yulang in the east of the city, if you want to find out the origin of this guy, I am afraid that you will have to find Feng Yulang.
The two of them left the Dyeing Tide Pavilion and went straight to the east of the city. I didn't go far out, but I saw a red sedan chair also hurrying to this side, looking at the specifications of the sedan chair, it turned out to be Cheng Yan's sedan chair.
Sure enough, the person in the sedan chair seemed to see the two of them and ordered someone to stop the sedan chair, but he saw Cheng Yan poking his head out, glanced at the two of them, and waved his hand at Lu Yunxi, "Today's affairs in the Shilang Mansion have made a lot of trouble in the capital, and I can't imagine that you still have time to wander outside." ”
"How can you. I'm just going to check Qing'er's whereabouts, I don't know where the county lord is going?"
"Li'er got a new piece of music and invited me to listen to it. Is there anything I need help with Qing'er?" Cheng Yan still had a smile in his eyes when he mentioned Li'er.
It seems that Xu Mo's incident that day did not affect the two of them at all.
"If there is anything that needs the help of the county lord, I will make it clear to the county lord. ”
Lu Yunxi's words fell, but there was a burst of mocking laughter after listening to the sedan chair.
"Tell her clearly, she has been with the Qinglou woman all day long, how can she help?"
Before the words fell, I saw Xu Mo shaking his fan and slowly walked out from behind the sedan chair.
Cheng Yan glanced at him, the corners of his eyes moved slightly, and he was about to say goodbye to Lu Yunxi and leave.
I didn't want to, but Xu Mo blocked her way, grabbed her sedan chair, and said in a deep voice, "Where are you going? Are you going to mess with the Qinglou woman again? No wonder the county lord likes to associate with the daughter of this businessman, they are all unpopular people, and they can be regarded as a comfort to each other. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yan's eyes sank slightly, and he was annoyed, so he was about to speak, but Lu Yunxi over there had already taken over the conversation, "The daughter of a merchant is not in the stream?" If I remember correctly, the Xu family has several major leaders. Speaking of which, if the businessmen do not enter the stream, Xu Jiazuo is just the biggest unentered. What a wealthy family here!"
Xu Mo slowly turned his head away, staring at Lu Yunxi with cold eyes.
Last time, it was this girl who made herself lose face, and today she made sarcastic remarks, and Xu Mo's heart was full of anger.
Who knows, this Lu Yunxi didn't give Xu Mo a chance to talk back at all, and only saluted Cheng Yan, "The county lord is a golden and noble person, don't be like such a mad dog barking in the way, hurry up and listen to the music." ”
