Chapter 940: Waiting
Yiyan slumped in his seat, choked and nodded. Now, she only has this glimmer of hope left!
There were a few soft knocks on the door, and the hoarse voice said, "The eldest lady, the second lady, the commander has made the adults and the young lady arrive!"
Yan sat up from the chair all of a sudden, and said again and again, "Please come in." ”
Tu Youde pushed open the door, and Xu Wanzhen and Wu Zhengxiang stepped inside. Yan suddenly rushed to Xu Wanzhen and pleaded: "Wanzhen, you must save Brother Zhang! If he has a case, I won't be able to live." ”
Xu Wanzhen hurriedly helped her up and said, "Little cousin, don't be like this, Ruizhang is my cousin, I will do my best." My husband has already asked someone to look for it, and you can tell me what happened. ”
Yan thanked him again and again, and told the story again.
Tu Ruiming's face turned pale, knelt on the ground and said, "It's all my fault, I didn't protect my brother." His hands were trembling slightly, apparently frightened.
"How can I blame you for that? You've been knocked unconscious too. Yan barely managed to squeeze out a smile to soothe him.
In fact, Yan blamed him a little in his heart. But after all, he is the concubine of the long house, and the two rooms are separated by one floor. Dafang only has this son, and he is also kind enough to hold Brother Zhang to watch the lights, and when the two disappeared, he was also knocked unconscious.
If she blames Brother Ming, it will not do any good except that it will increase the gap between the two rooms.
Yan's mind was clear, and even if he was sad, he didn't blame indiscriminately, which made Li breathe a big sigh of relief.
Tu Ruiming was raised under her knees, but he was not his own child, and his discipline should not be taken lightly. If Yan is angry, she doesn't know how to handle the scale of this punishment.
Wu Zhengxiang glanced at Tu Ruiming, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"You accompany your cousin here, and I'll take Brother Ming to that dark alley to have a look. Wu Zhengxiang said to Xu Wanzhen.
Even if there are any clues there, after all this time, there is nothing left. Xu Wanzhen had doubts in her eyes, but Wu Zhengxiang nodded at her.
It seems that there are other reasons for this.
Since this is the case, Xu Wanzhen cooperated with him, nodded and said, "You go quickly." ”
Wu Zhengxiang accompanied him and pulled Tu Ruiming out. Before going out, Tu Ruiming glanced back at Li, and the guilt in his eyes flashed.
Tu Youde also took his family out, and disappeared into the crowd again, hoping to find Tu Ruizhang's traces.
The wait was extraordinarily long.
Yan's eyes were empty, and all kinds of cranky thoughts flashed through his mind. Where is Brother Zhang now? Did he meet a kidnapper, and is he still alive?
All kinds of bad speculations came out of her mind uncontrollably.
If she can't find it, how should she face her husband and her parents-in-law after she returns to Tu's house?
Also, for the old lady who was carefully taught by Brother Zhang, if he knew that his only great-grandson was missing, and he didn't know if his body would be able to withstand this blow?
At this moment, Yan even had the will to die.
It's just that the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that she can't face it. It's better that she also followed Brother Zhang, so that she could stay away from these terrible consequences.
She was afraid, afraid of her husband's blame and accusations, and the disappointed eyes of everyone.
Xu Wanzhen looked at her expression, and knew that no matter how much she persuaded at this time, it was useless. Unless Tu Ruizhang can appear here intact, no one can solve Yan's heart knot.
Li sat on the sidelines, sighing in his heart.
She repeatedly thought about the scene that happened before, but at that time, everyone's eyes were on the excitement, and I don't know when the two disappeared.
In the Accord, a few people sat dryly, and the maids didn't dare to make a sound, only diligently changing tea for a few people.
I don't know how long it has been, Tu Ruizhang has not appeared, and Tu Youde has not returned. What's even more strange is that Wu Zhengxiang and Tu Ruiming have not returned.
Xu Wanzhen got up and walked to the window and looked at the crowd of people outside who were carnivaling. The night is getting thicker and thicker, but the festivities are not diminishing at all. People's interest is getting higher and higher with the wine.
Her eyes searched the crowd, but she couldn't find a clue.
Could it be that Wu Zhengxiang found something in the dark alley, so he led people to track it down?
But this doesn't make sense, even if he wants to track it down, Tu Ruiming can't help much, he should have someone send Tu Ruiming back first. The two of them didn't bring a servant woman with them, but it didn't mean that Wu Zhengxiang didn't have anyone around him.
After another half an hour, Yan's eyes straightened. Every breath that passes means that Tu Ruizhang is less likely to be rescued.
Until now, Li didn't know how to comfort her.
Xu Wanzhen turned back to her position, looked at Yan and said, "Little cousin." The husband never returned, and Zhen'er felt that he should have found a clue. Sometimes, no news is the best news. ”
No news is good news. Yan chewed this sentence in his heart, perhaps, no news means that Brother Zhang is still alive in this world.
She can only comfort herself like this, no news means that there is still a glimmer of hope.
"It's late at night, so it's better to ask the eldest cousin, the younger cousin and Zhen'er to go back to the house to rest for a while. Xu Wanzhen said: "Waiting here will not help." ”
The Tu family is also half an hour away from the capital by carriage, first, the distance is far and it is inconvenient to communicate with the news, and second, after they go back, the disappearance of Tu Ruizhang cannot be hidden.
Fortunately, the curfew is not enforced on the Shangyuan Festival, and the people sent by Wu Zhengxiang can enter and exit without hindrance, but I don't know, did he find any clues there?
But no matter how far they are going to find Tu Ruizhang, it's not a way for them to wait here.
The Li family and the Yan family are both weak women, and they are exhausted at this time. The conditions of the tea shop are limited, so it is better to go back to the Zhongguo Mansion, even if you can't sleep, you can take care of your spirits, which is better than here.
Xu Wan really proposed, and Li agreed. Hurriedly said: "Brother and sister, let's listen to Zhen'er once." The Chung Kook Mansion is in Mingyifang, not far from here. If there is any news, you can also know in time. ”
Yan raised a pair of teary eyes and smiled reluctantly: "It's just that it's inappropriate to take the liberty of coming to the door to disturb like this." ”
Before she found Tu Ruizhang, she didn't want to go back to the Tu family, feeling that she had no shame to face the Tu family. The good son brought it out, but he lost it.
It's just that Xu Wan is really the concubine and daughter-in-law of the Zhongguo Mansion, and she is neither the main mother nor the middle feeder. In the middle of the night, it seemed unreasonable for them to come to the door rashly. Yan was worried, for fear that it would cause her trouble and make her status unstable in her in-law's family.
Yan can still think so carefully in such a situation, Xu Wanzhen said gently: "The little cousin and aunt are too worried, and the eldest sister-in-law is in charge of the house and treats her leniently." There is nothing wrong with you being elders. ”
It's really inappropriate to come to the door in the middle of the night, but when it happened suddenly, she owes Lu a favor.
