Xiao Jing, who was on the starry night, finally rushed back to Ruidu.

These days, he only sleeps two hours a day, and even eats on dry food on the horse. Xia Hanxue, who was as worried about Qin Ziqian as he was, accompanied him all the way south, and the fatigue of the journey made the country's face look a little haggard.

After entering the city, the two went straight to the Xia Mansion. Seeing that the uncle and the young lady had rushed back, the Xia family hurriedly communicated with Xia Honghan.

Xiao Jing rushed to the hall without even drinking saliva: "Master Yue, is there any news from Ziqian?" ”

The dust and dust along the way made his eyes darken, and the whole person was even a little disheveled. It is said that seeing his father-in-law in such a posture is really lacking in courtesy, but who can control so much at the moment?

Xia Honghan frowned and shook his head, indicating that there was no news.

Xiao Jing's face was even more ugly.

The Xia family's industries and businesses are all over the place, and the intelligence network also has a large coverage. Even Xia Honghan couldn't do anything, which meant that Qin Ziqian had really evaporated from the world.

"The people in the family are looking around, but they still don't have a clue." Xia Honghan said in a deep voice: "What we know is only limited to what is mentioned in the letter to you. ”

Xiao Jing nodded.

Qin Ziqian had settled in a mansion of the Xia family before her disappearance. At that time, she asked someone to send a message home, saying that the matter had been done and that she was about to embark on the journey home.

This time she didn't go out for long, and I think everything went well.

She is not an ignorant person, and every time she sneaks out, she remembers to send a message to her family when she is about to go home, so that her family can rest assured.

Who knew that the Xia family didn't wait for Qin Ziqian, let alone receive any follow-up information. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Da Rui's world is not very peaceful, she should have had an accident.

So while Xia Honghan was searching, he sent someone to inform Xiao Jing in the starry night.

In this way, the only clue is where Qin Ziqian last appeared.

Caozhou.

This place is south of Ruidu, and it will take three or four days to get there.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing said loudly: "Uncle Yue, please sit at home." Without further ado, the son-in-law went to search, hoping to find some clues. ”

Xia Honghan responded: "That's fine. You need to be cautious and don't put your own safety at risk, you know? ”

No matter how unhappy he was before, now Xiao Jing is already his son-in-law and a member of the Xia family. Even if it is for the sake of his daughter, as an elder, he has to be careful.

What's more, this son-in-law is quite sensible.

Everyone understands that Qin Ziqian is in danger, and he doesn't have time to play with those fake and imaginary, such as persuading him to stay and rest before leaving.

"Thank you, Lord Yue." Xiao Jing said solemnly: "The son-in-law will go south along the road, if there is any news of Ziqian, please send someone to inform you." ”

With that, he bowed and strode out of the room.

Looking at his back, Xia Honghan, who had mixed feelings in his heart, let out a long sigh.

Mrs. Xia is Qin Ziqian's aunt, she is tormented like an ant on a hot pot these days, and she has secretly cried in private I don't know how many times, and the eagerness in her heart can be seen.

And what about Xiao Jing? Although he didn't say much, anyone could see that his worries and worries about Qin Ziqian were not lost to Mrs. Xia at all.

The matter of Xiao Jing and Qin Ziqian, Xia Honghan, Mrs. Xia and even the old lady all knew it.

After learning that Qin Ziqian had a deep affection, the Xia family was ready to marry her to Xiao Jing.

Her parents are far away from the ends of the earth, and before leaving, they have explained that their daughter's lifelong affairs can be decided by Xia Honghan and Mrs. Xia; The two of them were degraded, and they had long been disheartened by officialdom and fame and fortune, and they had specially instructed: After the future son-in-law is from a famous family, as long as he is a young talent with noble character, it doesn't matter if he is from a poor family. And the most important thing is to be good to Ziqian.

Xiao Jing undoubtedly meets this criterion. Judging from the situation at the time, he was indeed the best candidate.

Who knows, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky. Just when things were already in order, Xia Hanxue suddenly became a candidate for harmony, and Xiao Jing risked her life without hesitation to accompany her to the grassland.

Xia Hanxue was Xiao Jing's sweetheart, and Xue'er, who had already secretly had feelings in her heart, also confirmed her heart after the trip to the grassland, and the two officially made love.

After that, there was another robbery, and Xia Honghan could only make a mistake in vain.

Now seeing Xiao Jing so nervous Qin Ziqian, as Xue'er's father, he feels a little uncomfortable.

Besides, the Xia family married the young lady to Xiao Jing, which is already quite "miserable". If Miss Biao is sent out again and let him sit alone to own the Xia family, it will be a big loss.

Selfishly speaking, although Qin Ziqian's political value is not as good as Xia Hanxue, it is also a good card in the hands of the Xia family......

It's just that people are gone, what do you want to do with all this?

Xia Honghan, who had been stunned for a long time, left with a wry smile.

On the other side, Xiao Jing brought some necessary things and prepared to set off.

Just about to get on the horse, Xia Hanxue, who was also ready to go, led the horse to his side: "Husband, the slave family can't rest assured that my cousin, so I'll go with you." ”

Xiao Jing straightened his face and said, "No! ”

Xia Hanxue, who married her husband, has always listened to Xiao Jing's words, but this time she raised her head and said resolutely: "My cousin's situation is still unclear, how can the slave family rest assured if they stay in the capital alone?" The husband also needs a helper when he gets there, and it's always good to have one more person by his side. ”

Xiao Jing insisted: "You also know that the situation is unknown, so don't go with you." It may be dangerous to go, and even if you come with you, you may not be able to help, and we have to be distracted to protect you, so why bother? Besides, how can a husband bear to watch you put yourself in danger? ”

At this point he paused, and then sighed in a low voice: "This time has been too tiring. Seeing you so haggard, I feel very sorry for my husband. Xue'er will have a good rest at home, if Ziqian has not found you but is sick, how can I rest assured to find someone? ”

Xia Hanxue bit her lip in embarrassment, looking like she wanted to say something. There was a bit of pleading in her eyes, but Xiao Jing's expression was very resolute, leaving her no room for negotiation.

After a long time, she said a soft "um".

Xiao Jing's defeated face finally showed some smiles. He approached Xia Hanxue and whispered, "That's it." I know you have a deep sisterhood, but Xue'er can only help me with the waiter, so you might as well wait for me to come back at home. ”

Xia Hanxue was stunned for a moment, and then paused and said with shame and anger: "Husband, you ...... You're ......."

Xiao Jing smirked twice and then pulled the saddle and got on the horse. Finally, glancing at his beloved wife, he raised his horsewhip and said to the guards who were traveling with him: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go!" ”
