Chapter 259: Missed Again
Zhuang Silian was about to answer, but Liu Yan'er secretly pulled her, and asked Liang Chenjing instead: "May I ask General Liang, why are you looking for Qiu'er?" Did she offend General Liang? ”
"No, no, she's with me...... It's old knowledge,"
Liu Yan'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Is it really just old knowledge?" ”
Liang Chenjing's face changed, in fact, he wanted to say that it was his wife, but he treated her like that before, and he didn't know if she could forgive herself, if she could accept herself again, before she forgave herself, he wouldn't force him.
Looking at Liang Chenjing's complicated expression, Liu Yan'er had a bottom in her heart, and secretly thought: No wonder I always felt that Qiu'er girl was different, I just thought that she was from an unusual background, but I didn't expect that it had something to do with the second son of Liang Guogong's Mansion, that girl didn't mention half a sentence from beginning to end, she really knew how to hide it, and she must ask her carefully next time she meets her.
"Young lady, please tell me where Xiao Xia is now?"
"Natsu-chan? Isn't it Qiu'er? ”
Liang Chenjing paused: "She...... Formerly known as Xiao Xia, he came out to walk alone, maybe he took another name for convenience! ”
Zhuang Silian heard Liang Chenjing's intimate tone, and couldn't help but be in her heart: "General Liang, if I'm not mistaken, I heard that you and your lady are quite affectionate, although this Qiu'er has some talent, General Liang chased him to Jiangzhou, do you know?" ”
Liang Chenjing's face sank, and his tone became strict: "This is a private matter." ”
Zhuang Silian snorted lightly: "Then I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for me to tell you where the maid in the house went." ”
Liang Chenjing frowned slightly, and the air around him became a little colder. Zhuang Silian shuddered inexplicably, and felt a little timid in her heart, but her natural pride made her unwilling to retreat: "What." General Liang, can't you force it? ”
Liang Chenjing stared at her with a cold face and didn't speak, the atmosphere became even more stiff and condensed, and Liu Yan'er waved her handkerchief in the middle: "Okay, okay, don't be serious!" General Liang, it's not that we don't tell you where Qiu'er is going, it's really that we don't know where she is! ”
"What do you mean?"
"This ...... I'll tell you the truth. Early this morning, Qiu'er committed an accident and was sent out of the palace and driven out of the city. We don't know where she went. ”
"What?"
Liu Yan'er nodded: "That's true, Qiu'er hasn't been in the mansion for a long time, and she can't speak, so it's inevitable that she will do something wrong." She was sent out of the house this morning. That's right. Listening to Birou, Qiu'er happened to bump into the general and the master when she left the house, why didn't the general recognize her? ”
Liang Chenjing was stunned, is it this morning? When he came to the backyard with Hou Ye Li Guoshun, he did bump into two girls who were kicked out of the house, was one of them her?
Yes, she had a strange feeling when she left, and she always felt that there was a familiar gaze peeking at her, and it must be her. She must have recognized me, why didn't she call me? Still can't she forgive me?
thought of the back of the skinny little man who was dragged away by his mother-in-law. Liang Chenjing's heart ached for a while, since he was a child, he rarely had this feeling, except when his grandmother was sick and died, but now this feeling is so strong.
He jumped on the roof, lifted his breath and swept away quickly, he felt very uncomfortable, he didn't know where to go, he just wanted to listen to the wind and feel the cool breeze blowing in his face, as if this was the only way to ease the feeling of sadness and sadness.
Liu Yan'er looked at the figure that left quickly and secretly exclaimed: This person's kung fu is really strong, and ten of me are not his opponents, and he is worthy of being the martial champion appointed by the emperor.
Zhuang Silian snorted dissatisfiedly: "This person is so rude, my Hou Mansion entertained him, and he didn't even say thank you when he left." ”
Liu Yan'er glanced at Zhuang Silian, and after getting along with Zhuang Silian for a while, she also figured out her temperament. This woman is ruthless and hard-mouthed, she seems to be generous on the surface, and she doesn't mind anything, but in fact, she is the most angry, and she is the most unaware, don't look at her now that she looks down on Liang Chenjing, and she is afraid that she will be jealous of Qiu'er to death.
Liu Yan'er chuckled, and Zhuang Silian looked at her with a cold face: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"It's nothing, Second Young Grandma, the matter hasn't been done, I'm going to go back to Beijing to resume my life, you? Do you really plan to be a young grandmother here for the rest of your life? ”
Zhuang Silian's eyes flashed: "You care about me, how I love it!" ”
"Then bother the second young grandmother to inform the second young master!" Liu Yan'er was about to leave after speaking.
"Wait a minute!" Zhuang Silian's voice was a little loud, everyone turned to look at them, and Tian also looked here: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
"Mother, daughter-in-law has something to discuss with her sister, can you leave for a while? The daughter-in-law will be back in a moment. ”
Tian didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'll send someone to call you if there's something." ”
Zhuang Silian and Liu Yan'er blessed the Tian family together, and then left with Birou Biting.
Dingguo Hou's Mansion was panicked because of the theft, until the evening, the masters of the Hou Mansion were a little calm, Li Taiming was busy by his father for a day, he was already impatient, and when his father spoke, he couldn't wait to run back to the yard to see Liu Yan'er, to find that Liu Yan'er's yard was empty, to Zhuang Silian's yard to find someone, and found that Zhuang Silian was not there.
Li Taiming didn't think much about it, thinking that they went out together, and he was still happy in his heart, his wife and concubine got along harmoniously, this is a great thing, fox friends and dog friends all said that the relationship between wives and concubines is not easy to handle, this is not a problem at all in his own place, hehe, next time I go out and bring cigarettes, let them open their eyes, and show off by the way, let them envy to death.
Li Taiming happily made a small calculation, and waited for two hours in Zhuang Silian's courtyard, seeing that it was almost late at night, and he didn't see the two people come back, he felt strange in his heart, and sent someone out to look for it.
Another half an hour passed, and when the hour was approaching, the people who were looking for reported back one by one, and they had never seen them, Li Taiming couldn't sit still, so he ran out and searched around the Hou Mansion by himself, but he didn't see anyone.
He hurriedly ran to find his father and mother, and when they heard this, they thought he was laughing, and then they looked carefully and found no one, and the two of them couldn't help but start to be anxious, and found the porter to ask, and heard that the two of them went out of the house in the middle of the afternoon, and didn't say anything. I didn't say anything, and I don't know where I went?
The three masters of the Hou Mansion walked around the hall in a hurry, suddenly. Hou Ye Li Guoshun stopped at his feet, turned around and asked Tian: "Madam, who reported the theft in the yard over there?" ”
Tian thought for a while: "It seems to be ...... The little maid in the daughter-in-law's yard. ”
Li Guoshun smashed his fist: "Oh no, most of the beads were stolen by those two sluts!" ”
"What? How can it be! Tian stood up suddenly.
Li Guoshun had a cold face: "Otherwise, how could they disappear as soon as something happens?" ”
"Yes...... But my daughter-in-law is still pregnant with the eldest grandson of my Li family! ”
"When everyone is gone, there is still an eldest grandson? There must be something wrong with Zhuang Silian, and Liu Yan'er is also of unknown origin. ”
Tian took a step back and sat on the chair in a daze, Li Taiming was quite anxious: "Father, mother, what are you talking about?" Yan'er and Lian'er are gone. Shall we send someone out to find it? ”
"What else are you looking for? Those two women are not good things, come and spread the news. Whoever can catch Zhuang Silian and Liu Yan'er will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver. ”
"Father, what are you talking about? They are the wives and concubines of their children! ”
"Confused, I'm still obsessed at this time."
"Father. I don't understand! ”
"Those two women haven't been at ease since the first day they entered the house. They killed your eldest brother, and you're still talking to them. ”
"Impossible, the eldest brother was gone more than two years ago!"
"Presumptuous! I told you very clearly this afternoon. ”
"I don't believe it, I clearly saw my eldest brother buried, even if it ...... Even if the black and swarthy corpse is the eldest brother, the eldest brother is already dead, and it should be like that, how can it be blamed on Yan'er and Lian'er? ”
Li Guoshun, the Marquis of Dingguo, paced around angrily. Pointing at Li Taiming and scolding: "Unfilial things!" Unfilial things! ”
Li Taiming stiffened his neck and said, "I just don't believe it, I don't believe that Yan'er and Lian'er will lie to me for that bead." Even if you don't believe in smoke. Lian'er is the young lady of the dealer in the capital, is this also fake? ”
Li Guoshun stopped at his feet, and then patted his head: "Oops, confused, confused!" Why didn't I think of this, come here, hurry up and prepare the car, this marquis is going to go to Beijing. ”
Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang left Jiangzhou in the middle of the morning in Laifu's carriage and set foot on the official road to Changzhou.
I thought it would take a lot of trouble to get things, but I didn't expect Yu Niang to help me in an emergency, thinking of the happy appearance that Yu Niang and Li Tai'an thought they were together, Xiao Xia felt envious in her heart, and at the same time secretly blessed them in her heart, wishing them never to separate.
Another thing that made her mind was that she didn't expect Liang Chenjing to come to the Hou Mansion of Jiangzhou, and she didn't know what he was here for? Fortunately, I left in time and didn't meet him head-on, otherwise I really don't know how to face it.
Xiao Xia had a feeling in her heart that if Liang Chenjing knew that she had also been to the Hou Mansion, she would definitely catch up with her, so she was very anxious, and she was urging Laifu all the way to let her go faster, faster!
She wanted to arrive in Changzhou earlier and asked Xue Yongan to help her send her back to the capital.
They hurried and hurried non-stop, and finally arrived in a small town ten miles outside Changzhou before midnight to live, which was surrounded by the Xue family's property, and it was not difficult to find a place to stay.
Laifu settled Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang, and immediately found a way to send a letter to Xue Yongan.
Xiao Xia and the others washed up and were about to go to bed, when they heard Xue Yongan's voice outside the door: "Miss Xiao Xia, Miss Xiangxiang, have you rested?" ”
Yu Xiangxiang's spirit was shocked, and she ran to open the door: "Xue Gongzi, you came so fast!" ”
"It's also a coincidence, I came to the town in the afternoon and was delayed, and I missed the time to enter the city, so I stayed in this town, how are you? Are things still going well? ”
Yu Xiangxiang pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Xia: "We finally got into the Hou Mansion, and we are almost familiar with the Hou Mansion, this girl doesn't know what is crazy, she is suddenly leaving, and she doesn't want anything, I really don't know why she worked so hard to enter the mansion?" ”
"Oh? You guys didn't get anything and you came back? ”
Xiao Xia lowered her head and didn't speak, but Yu Xiangxiang kept complaining, Xue Yongan looked at Xiao Xia, saw her expression, and felt that she might have something to say, but Yu Xiangxiang was really inconvenient here, so he deduced and said:
"It's okay to come out, it's dangerous to stay there, you must be very tired after a day's journey, let's rest first, let's talk slowly tomorrow."
Xue Yongan was about to withdraw, Xiao Xia grabbed his sleeve, Xue Yongan glanced at her, "What's wrong, Miss Xiao Xia." ”
Xiao Xia looked back at Yu Xiangxiang, walked out of the door, Xue Yongan said: "Miss Xiangxiang, why don't you sleep first, I'll say a few words to Miss Xiao Xia, and I'll send her back in a while." ”
"Huh? Right now? ”
"It's okay, Laifu is also outside."
"It's not good in the middle of the night!"
Xiao Xia walked out of the door without meaning to enter the door, Xue Yongan said: "It's okay, Miss Xiangxiang will sleep first." ”
Xue Yongan took Xiao Xia away and went to another room diagonally opposite, Laifu was really inside, Xue Yongan asked Laifu to guard the door, pointed to the chair and asked Xiao Xia to sit down: "Miss Xiaoxia, is there something wrong?" ”
Xiao Xia took out a pen and paper: "Please ask Xue Gongzi to help send me back to the capital, don't let Xiangxiang know." ”
Xue Yongan glanced at her: "Is the girl in a hurry?" ”
Xiao Xia nodded, and Xue Yongan thought for a while: "It's really inconvenient for the girl to be alone, you have a close relationship with Miss Xiangxiang, why don't you let her know?" ”
Xiao Xia shook her head and wrote: "Xiangxiang has found her family, I can't bother her, I hope to rush back to the capital as much as possible, please ask Xue Gongzi to help, I will pay Xue Gongzi." ”
Xue Yongan smiled when he saw it: "I don't need to pay for it...... It just so happens that the tribute in the second half of the year should be sent to Beijing, the new emperor ascends the throne, and many people want to take advantage of the loopholes and seize the name of this imperial businessman, I also have to hurry to the capital to do some trouble, why don't we go together? ”
Xiao Xia nodded happily and immediately asked, "When are you leaving?" ”
"Are you in such a hurry? Why don't you leave until dawn? ”
Xiao Xia was a little flustered, for some reason, she always felt that Liang Chenjing would catch up sooner or later after staying for a long time, and she didn't want to see him yet.
Xue Yongan sighed lightly: "That's it, if the girl is in a hurry, we can leave now, I'm afraid that the girl won't be able to stand it after a day of hard work." ”
Xiao Xia immediately stood up and took a turn, saying that he was very good and that it was no problem to travel overnight.
Xue Yongan smiled: "Okay, let's leave immediately, Laifu, go and prepare." ”
A quarter of an hour later, two fast horses came out of a corner of the town, and after they got on the official road, there was a whip sound, and the horses spread their hooves in the moonlight and galloped away in the direction of the capital.
Yu Xiangxiang saw Xue Yongan go out with Xiao Xia, and she was very angry, this stinky girl, she didn't know the taboo in the middle of the night! She thinks I'm jealous of her, huh? I'm for her good, she doesn't appreciate it, she insists on going, what is there that I can't listen to? I hate it, I'm so good to him, she guards me everywhere!
Yu Xiangxiang was a little angry, decided not to wait for Xiao Xia, took off her clothes and climbed into bed, thinking crankily in her heart, maybe she was too tired from the bumps during the day, and she fell asleep not long after lying down.
The next morning, there seemed to be a noise in the house, Yu Xiangxiang gradually came to her senses, she yawned while rubbing her eyes, and muttered, "Xiao Xia, when did you come back last night?" Why don't you sleep more? ”
"Where's Natsu?" (To be continued.) )
