Chapter 191: Missing
In the Founding County Mansion, Shen Liancheng and Li Ji had already slept. γLatest chapter reading. γ
The concierge passed the word, Qingling thought that the second lady had always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let alone so late, but she was afraid of disturbing the master and the prince, so she came to the door of the mansion in person.
"The second lady came here late at night, but I don't know what the matter is? My son-in-law and son-in-law have already fallen asleep, but I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to see you. β
"Li'er was ambushed at the border of Qinzhou, and now I don't know if she is alive or dead." Shen Ruxiu said, "You go and ask your daughter-in-law, she knows who is going to be unfavorable to Li'er." β
"Who ambushed Li'er's mother, how will my daughter-in-law know?" Qingling only felt that Shen Ruxiu had something to say, and there was a little hostility hidden in it. But she thought about it and thought that the matter was very important, so she took it upon herself to say: "For such a big matter, the second lady should come in with me and talk to my daughter-in-law in person." β
In Qingqiu Garden, Shen Liancheng was tired for a long time, and had just entered a sweet sleep in Li Ji's arms, when he vaguely heard someone calling him "son-in-law", his consciousness was withdrawn from his sleep, but his whole body was soft and a little tired.
"What?" She asked lazily, raised her eyes and saw that Li Ji was asleep, and was making a slight breathing sound, and she couldn't help but be reluctant to leave his embrace, a little annoyed, but she could also guess that something big had happened. After all, Qingling wouldn't bother her for no reason.
Hearing that Shen Ruxiu was coming, she cheered up even more, quietly got out of bed, and came to the outer room.
She was draped in black hair, dressed in plain clothes, and a little lazy under the lamplight, but she was so beautiful. This can't help but remind Shen Ruxiu of the night when Chen Xiang was stabbed to death by Shen Liancheng in the previous life.
That night, Chen Xiang took her to her residence. She was like this, with black hair, plain clothes, and a dagger in her hand, she asked for Chen Xiang's life...... Later, Prince Rong led someone to break in and took her away.
The flames were soaring, and at that time, Li'er hid in the corner, desperate and resentful, and finally could only hold Chen Xiang's corpse and die in love.
"Second sister?" Seeing Shen Ruxiu staring at him, Shen Liancheng couldn't help but scream.
Shen Ruxiu came back to her senses in shock, and put aside her tearful eyes.
Shen Liancheng smiled and asked, "Why did you come to me so late?" β
Shen Ruxiu calmed down, and then told her that Shen Li'er was ambushed in Qinzhou and her whereabouts were unknown.
"Didn't I ask you to send more escorts?" Shen Liancheng doesn't really care about Shen Li'er's life or death, but it's always bad if something like this happens. After all, she is still a member of her Shen family.
"Someone has already laid an ambush and rushed to the mercy." Shen Ruxiu looked at her tightly, "Sister, aren't you Bingxue smart?" Who wouldn't have thought of it? β
"You doubt me?" Shen Liancheng was thinking about this strange matter, but when he saw Shen Ruxiu's clearly hostile eyes, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous.
"It's not that I suspect my sister." Shen Ruxiu lowered her chin slightly, and quickly raised it again, "It's just that my sister has the most right and wrong, I'm afraid that what happened to Li'er will not be able to get rid of my sister." β
I thought of it with myself. Shen Liancheng lowered his eyes and continued to think. It's not that someone wants to be unfavorable to Shen Lian'er, but someone wants to take advantage of Shen Lian'er's affairs to make some kind of moth, intending to deal with her Shen Liancheng.
What are they trying to do? Is she charged with murdering her own sister? It's stupid, no.
"If it has anything to do with me, then at least she doesn't have to worry about her life now. If it has nothing to do with me...... Shen Liancheng paused, and looked at Shen Ruxiu's worried face, and also showed a bit of seriousness, "I'll send someone to Taifu's Mansion and ask my grandfather to repair the book to Qinzhou's friends, and ask them to send someone to help find the whereabouts of Li'er." β
"Thank you." Shen Ruxiu is committed.
"You have to be mentally prepared." Shen Liancheng said, "Maybe it's an ordinary bandit, and it has nothing to do with the person who wants to kill me." At least for the moment, I can't think of any reason why people I know are doing this. β
Hearing this, Shen Ruxiu's eyes swelled, and her lips trembled. At this moment, how much did she hope that this matter was related to Shen Liancheng and not an ordinary bandit?
Her poor son can't be fine.
She suddenly turned around and left. She's going to Qinzhou, so let's go now.
Shen Liancheng thought about it and instructed Qingling: "Let Hong Qi follow the second lady." β
"Yes."
Shen Liancheng was not idle. She instructed Yuhe to prepare the carriage, and she returned to the inner room and gently woke Li Ji up.
"Aman......" Li Ji frowned, looked at the night outside, and was a little puzzled, "Why did you get up?" β
"Get up quickly and accompany me to Xiangfu."
"What are you going to do in Xiangfu?" Li Ji rubbed his eyes, knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly propped himself up and got out of bed.
"Go find Chu Batian. Hurry up and get dressed......" Shen Liancheng said and called the slave to come in to serve, and then told Li Ji: "Li'er was ambushed in Qinzhou, and her whereabouts are now unknown. β
Li Ji was taken aback when he heard this, "Do you suspect that Chu Batian did it?" β
Shen Liancheng's expression was sluggish, "I'm afraid he didn't do it." β
When he came to Xiangfu, when the concierge saw that it was Shen Liancheng, he didn't dare to slack off and went in.
Not long after, Shen Liancheng and Li Ji were led by slaves to the flower hall, and saw Chu Batian, who yawned again and again, but was still well-dressed, and Zhang Kui, who was fierce and vicious.
"The prince and the prince came to visit late at night, what happened?" As soon as Chu Batian's words fell, he yawned again.
"I just want to ask you, have you ever touched my sister's crooked thoughts?" Shen Liancheng got straight to the point.
"Why do you think I'm going to answer you?" Chu Batian smiled, and there was no trace of surprise in his eyes.
"Is it really you?" Shen Liancheng was almost a little pleased. If only he were him, then as for his purpose, he would have to figure it out.
However, Chu Batian made a regretful look and told her: "It's a pity that the straw bales under my hand didn't work out, but when I caught her, I let a nosy person save her." β
"What kind of people rescued them?"
"Man, maybe it's a chivalrous man who sees unevenness?" Chu Batian's words were frivolous.
Shen Liancheng and Li Ji glanced at each other and were silent for a while.
"It's your turn." Chu Batian said solemnly, "Tell me quickly, why do you think I will answer your question?" β
"You're so crazy." Shen Liancheng glanced at him, then said goodbye, intending to leave.
"Wait." Chu Batian called her, "Then you don't want to know what I'm going to do when I capture your sister?" β
"I don't want to." Shen Liancheng thought that since there was no success, it was meaningless.
After she and Li Ji left, Chu Batian looked at the dark night outside and smiled interestingly.
"Big brother, why did you ask me to ask someone to arrest her sister?" Zhang Kui couldn't help but ask.
Chu Batian smiled, and said with a black face: "You dare to ask me if the plan is aborted?" β
Zhang Kui hurriedly shrank back to the back of the wheelchair, "I'll send you back to your room to sleep." β
Leaving Xiangfu and getting into the carriage, Shen Liancheng said to Li Ji: "Within three years, I'm afraid that Li'er will not come back...... At least not explicitly in front of us. β
Her face was calm, and she didn't seem to care about it. (To be continued.) )
