Hearing Chu Xingshan say this, Zhao Qingzao nodded, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, and always felt that something must have happened to Shen Changting, otherwise how could a person like Shen Changting who was punctual and well-behaved not come back at this hour?

Because Grandma Niu and Chu Xingshan were also here, Zhao Qingzao didn't show her uneasy side in front of them, but just returned to the house, and was in a hurry, thinking that if Shen Changting didn't come back after a while, she would run to the town alone to find Shen Changting.

"Qing Zao, someone has come back from the town, do you want to inquire about Brother Shen's whereabouts?" At this moment, Chu Xingshan suddenly knocked on the door and asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao did not hesitate at all, immediately opened the door, and then ran outside to inquire about Shen Changting's whereabouts.

"Uncle Wang, have you just come back from the town?" Zhao Qingzao saw Uncle Wang in the village coming back from the town, so he immediately ran over, grabbed Uncle Wang's arm, and asked anxiously.

Before Uncle Wang could react to what was going on, he saw Zhao Qingzao looking like he was about to cry, so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Didn't you see it, haven't you come back yet?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qingzao didn't care about continuing to talk to Uncle Wang, turned around and ran to find Shen Changting, Shen Changting usually likes to go to the place, Zhao Qingzao searched all before and after, but Shen Changting was not there at all, after repeating it several times, Zhao Qingzao's heart became more and more panicked, more and more bottomless, thinking of those people who chased and killed Shen Changting, Zhao Qingzao really wanted to squat down and cry.

"Qingzao, what's wrong with you? Is there really any danger to Brother Shen?" Chu Xingshan has been following behind Zhao Qingzao, and after finding that Zhao Qingzao's reaction seems to be very wrong, Chu Xingshan then felt that Shen Changting was in any danger, otherwise how could Zhao Qingzao look like he was about to go crazy?

Hearing Chu Xingshan ask, Zhao Qingzao didn't have time to explain so much to Chu Xingshan, so he immediately begged Chu Xingshan to find a carriage, and then went to the town with her to find Shen Changting, Chu Xingshan naturally nodded and agreed, and after letting Zhao Qingzao stay where he was and wait, Chu Xingshan went to find someone to borrow a carriage, and then rushed to the town with Zhao Qingzao.

Because Chu Xingshan was working in the yamen, after returning to the yamen and asking, Chu Xingshan knew which head of the household Shen Changting had gone to copy the book today, and after telling Zhao Qingzao about the situation, the two of them rushed to the head of the household's house non-stop.

"Is there anyone, open the door!" As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhao Qingzao jumped out of the carriage regardless of it, and then ran to knock on the door.

Because it was evening, everyone was eating, so after a long time, someone came to open the door, saw Zhao Qingzao's eager appearance, and the little guy who opened the door asked suspiciously: "Who are you? Are you here to find the master?"

"I am Shen Changting's wife, Shen Changting is the one who came to copy the book for your master today, is he still in your mansion?" Zhao Qingzao hurriedly said.

"The man who copied the book for the master? he left a long time ago, and he left with several others, but our master said that if you came to find someone, I would take you to meet him. After hearing Shen Changting's name, the little guy immediately showed a look of sudden realization, and then said to Zhao Qingzao.

Shen Changting left? And he left with a few people? What the hell is going on? It seems that Zhao Qingzao guessed correctly, Shen Changting really encountered something, but he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, and whether he could return to his side.

Because the little guy wanted to take himself to see the head of the household, Zhao Qingzao didn't have time to think about it so much, so he followed the little guy to the front hall, and the little guy asked Zhao Qingzao to wait in the front hall for a while, and then went to the head of the household.

Zhao Qingzao is now thinking about Shen Changting, so he has no intention of waiting for others, and has been walking around the front hall, fortunately, Chu Xingshan is here to accompany Zhao Qingzao, so Zhao Qingzao will not impulsively break into the backyard to find the head of the household.

"Are you Shen Shusheng's wife?" At this moment, the head of the household finally came out, and after seeing Zhao Qingzao, the head of the household asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao chuckled in his heart, quickly turned around, nodded and said, "Yes, I am Shen Shusheng's wife, just now the little girl said that my father-in-law left with a few people, what is going on?"

"Your father-in-law did leave, but who he left with, in fact, I don't know very well, this is a note left by your father-in-law, he told you to go home and then open it, and your father-in-law told you not to worry, he was not in danger, and he left with those people voluntarily. As he spoke, the head of the household took out a note from his sleeve, handed it to Zhao Qingzao, and then said to Zhao Qingzao.

After listening to what the head of the household said, and then seeing the note handed over by the head of the household, Zhao Qingzao's body shook, and he almost fell to the ground, seeing this, Chu Xingshan hurriedly supported Zhao Qingzao, took the note handed over by the head of the household, and after thanking the head of the household, Chu Xingshan left with Zhao Qingzao.

"Qing Zao, this is the note that Brother Shen handed over to you, I will send you home now, and you can open it when you get home later. After Chu Xingshan helped Zhao Qingzao into the carriage, he stuffed the note into Zhao Qingzao's hand, and only said to Zhao Qingzao after accommodating it.

Zhao Qingzao was now like losing her soul, and she didn't react to what Chu Xingshan said, but the note handed to her by Shen Changting, Zhao Qingzao held it tightly in her hand, as if she was afraid that this note would suddenly disappear like Shen Changting.

Chu Xingshan sent Zhao Qingzao home, and then asked Grandma Niu to follow him home first, Grandma Niu saw that Zhao Qingzao's expression was wrong, because she couldn't rest assured that Zhao Qingzao couldn't be relieved, Grandma Niu still wanted to accompany Zhao Qingzao here, but Chu Xingshan knew that Zhao Qingzao needed to be quiet alone, so he insisted on pulling Grandma Niu away.

There was only one person left in the room, and after a long time, Zhao Qingzao slowly opened his hand and looked at the crumpled note in his hand.

Snorting, Zhao Qingzao finally opened the note, only a few words were written on the note, Shen Changting seemed to be in a hurry, and the handwriting was a little messy, but Zhao Qingzao could still understand it.

"Qingzao, I'm leaving, you have to live well alone, don't worry about me. There was silver under the clay pot in the house. ”

After reading the few words written on the note, Zhao Qingzao suddenly crumpled the note into a ball, then threw it on the ground, and scolded: "Shen Changting, you bastard, you actually left secretly!"

Thinking of the words written on the note, Zhao Qingzao walked into the house again, looked back and forth, and found a clay pot under the bed, it seems that this clay pot is new, and I don't know when Shen Changting put this clay pot under the bed, it was when Zhao Qingzao went out to do business.

After Zhao Qingzao opened the clay pot, it was full of silver, Zhao Qingzao was stunned, and then poured out all the silver in the clay pot, and after carefully counting it, Zhao Qingzao found that there were 1,000 taels of silver in it.

So much silver, it can't be earned by copying books, Zhao Qingzao remembered the painting that Shen Changting disappeared, it is estimated that this thousand taels of silver was asked by Shen Changting to the seller in advance, and then he took the painting to the seller in the morning, and then went to help someone copy the book, and left after leaving a note.

Shen Changting only left this thousand taels of silver, but he didn't tell Zhao Qingzao, where did he go, and would he come back? Zhao Qingzao thought about what Shen Changting had said before, and immediately understood that Shen Changting must have run away, after all, he didn't belong to this place in the first place, how could he stay here for the rest of his life.

But Zhao Qingzao is his wife, he didn't leave with Zhao Qingzao, he didn't even say hello, and left secretly.

Zhao Qingzao scolded Shen Changting fiercely in his heart, but he still felt that he was not angry, Zhao Qingzao knew Shen Changting, where else could he go? Of course, he would go back wherever he came from.

"Qingzao, are you okay?" Chu Xingshan should not be relieved of Zhao Qingzao, so he stood outside the door again, knocked on the door and asked softly.

"Hiking, don't worry, I'm fine, I'll definitely be fine until I find Shen Changting. Zhao Qingzao said to Chu Xingshan while putting the silver back into the clay pot.

Zhao Qingzao has already made up her mind to pay attention, even if Shen Changting leaves, she will find Shen Changting and ask him to give herself an explanation in person, if Shen Changting wants to live his own chic life and doesn't want a lady like her anymore, then let Shen Changting write a letter of resignation, so that Zhao Qingzao can also live her own life without worry, if Shen Changting has any difficulties, then she will accompany Shen Changting to spend it, no matter what difficulties she encounters, she will support Shen Changting.

Putting the clay pot back under the bed, Zhao Qingzao tidied up for a while, then opened the door, and saw Chu Xingshan and Grandma Niu standing outside the door looking at him with a worried face, Zhao Qingzao said with a smile: "Grandma Niu, hiking, we don't seem to have eaten, I made so many good dishes today, you must not waste it, hurry up and come in to eat." ”

Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Chu Xingshan and Grandma Niu became more and more worried about Zhao Qingzao, after all, it is not a trivial matter for a woman to run away, not to mention that Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting are so affectionate, she must be even more uncomfortable in her heart.

"Qingzao, where did Changting go, what should you do in the future?" Grandma Niu sighed and asked Zhao Qingzao.

"Changting has returned to his hometown, and I will go to Changting in a few days. Zhao Qingzao turned his back to Grandma Niu and said in a muffled voice.

Hearing this, Grandma Niu sighed again, feeling more and more sorry for Zhao Qingzao, Zhao Qingzao looked down at the dishes on the table, and said with a smile after a while: "These dishes are cold, I'll take them to the kitchen to heat them up first, you wait here for a while." ”

After speaking, Zhao Qingzao went into the kitchen with the dishes, seeing this, Grandma Niu asked Chu Xingshan to go to the yamen tomorrow to inquire about Shen Changting's whereabouts, and see if he could find out where Shen Changting went, Chu Xingshan had already regarded Zhao Qingzao as his sister, so when he heard Grandma Niu say this, Chu Xingshan naturally nodded and agreed.

After Zhao Qingzao heated the dishes, the three of them finished the meal, although they were depressed, but the dishes made by Zhao Qingzao were so delicious, so everyone didn't want to waste them.
