It's getting dark.

Tang Shaohe cried so much that his heart was broken, but he still refused to give up and walked along the shore of the lake, calling his brother's name as he walked.

My feet were so tired that I couldn't walk, and my throat was hoarse and aching like a fire.

Yao reluctantly ordered someone to drag Tang Shaohe into the carriage and let her hold Jinghua's boots and not let go.

When the moon crept up the treetops, the carriage finally rushed out of the city after the gates were closed, and galloped to the Shen Mansion.

Yao sent Tang Shaohe back to Zitong Courtyard and ordered the maids to groom and change her clothes.

Who knew that Tang Shaohe resisted desperately, holding Jinghua's boots and shaking off their hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are all bad people, get out of my way!" I just need my Jinghua, you all get out of here! Get out of here—"

"Third lady, look at Miss Watch...... The slave was afraid of hurting Miss Table. An older maid whispered boldly.

"Grab her for me!" Yao's brows furrowed, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Quick! Don't let her run. ”

Tang Shaohe wanted to run out in fear, but when she saw that the maids began to surround her, she couldn't help but retreat step by step, until her back was against the wall, and there was no way to escape.

"Don't, don't come here!" Tang Shaohe saw them coming to snatch the boots in his arms, and cried in a hoarse voice: "Don't ...... Don't rob my Jinghua ......"

Everyone was shocked, and suddenly realized that something terrible might have happened between Miss Biao and Young Master Cousin, so they raised their heads and looked at Yao on the side, quietly waiting for her instructions.

Yao squatted down, his eyes were slightly red, he hugged her in his arms in distress, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't cry Shaohe, tomorrow the third aunt and you will go to Master Li's house to have a look." Maybe Brother Hua is doing well with him? You say, don't you? ”

Tang Shaohe raised his head suddenly, his tearful eyes flashed with bright light, and said happily: "That's right!" Maybe Jinghua is at Master Li's house. Maybe I'm a little tired from studying the water, so I spent the night at Master Li's house and didn't come back, right? ”

"Yes, yes, that's it! Look at you, what are you panicking about? Brother Hua must be at Master Li's house. Yao Shi said according to her meaning, then patted her on the shoulder, and smiled softly: "Good, I washed and slept tonight." Tomorrow, the third aunt will accompany you to pick up Jinghua back. ”

"Can I go now?" Tang Shaohe said anxiously.

She didn't want to wait until tomorrow, she just wanted to see her brother's cute smiling face right now.

Yao shook his head and said softly, "Silly boy, when is this?" Maybe Master Li has already rested, why are we embarrassed to disturb others? What's more, Master Li's family lives on the side of Tanxiang Lake outside the city, and at this time, it is difficult to get out of the city. ”

Tang Shaohe lowered his head in disappointment and froze silently in place, stunned.

Seeing that she was quiet, Yao couldn't help but glance at the maid and servant beside her, and said with a smile: "Why don't you hurry up and freshen up and change your clothes." Let Miss Cousin rest early tonight, and when we wait for Ming'er, we will go together to pick up Young Master Cousin. ”

"Yes, Third Lady." The maids agreed to the promise, and then served Tang Shaohe to freshen up and change clothes.

After dinner, Yao watched her fall asleep, then got up and left the Zitong courtyard and headed for Mrs. Fan's Jiaying Pavilion.

According to the rumors, Yao went in to salute Mrs. Fan and sat on the other side of the kang.

Old Madam Fan raised the teacup and took a sip, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?" As soon as you come back, it's so noisy, but the lotus girl is causing you trouble? ”

Yao Shi was slightly surprised, it seemed that everything that happened in Zitong Courtyard couldn't hide her mother's fire-eyed Venus, so she had to confess honestly.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law accompanied Shaohe to see it. There were two carriages parked on the shore of the lake, and I didn't see Hua Ge'er's figure, but I found ......" Yao Shi paused, quickly glanced at Mrs. Fan, hurriedly lowered his eyes again, and continued: "I found Hua Ge'er's boots thrown on the shore, but I didn't see anyone. ”

Old Madam Fan looked at her with wide eyes, her heart suddenly shrank, her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and she asked urgently, "Have you ever sent someone to Master Li's house to inquire?" ”

Yao Shi thought for a moment and replied, "I have already sent someone over to ask." Master Li has not yet returned home, and his family is also searching for his whereabouts. The daughter-in-law didn't dare to delay, so she hurried back before the city gate was closed. ”

"Hmm. You did very well! Old Madam Fan nodded, and then asked, "How is the lotus girl now?" ”

"I'm asleep, I'm afraid I won't sleep very well." Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "If you really can't find it back, what should Shaohe do?" ”

Mrs. Fan bit her lip and said in a rather sad mood: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to think about it......"

The two were silent for a long time, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, but the woman asked the maid outside the house, "Cailian, has the old lady ever rested?" I have an urgent matter to find the old lady. ”

"No, I'm talking to the third lady in the house." Cai Lian responded. Then he walked into the house and said to Mrs. Fan, "Old lady, Mama Li is asking to see you outside the door." ”

Old Madam Fan gave an 'um' and motioned for Cailian to let people in.

After Mama Li entered the house, she saluted Mrs. Fan and the third lady, lowered her head and said, "Old lady, third lady, something is wrong. (To be continued......)
