After dawn, Tianhui felt dizzy, she called Xiaocui, no matter how she shouted, no one answered, she went to Xiaocui's room to look for it, only to see that the bed was neatly made, at a glance, she knew that she hadn't slept last night, Tianhui couldn't find Xiaocui anywhere, she went to ask other servants if they saw Xiaocui, they said that the last time they saw Xiaocui was yesterday morning when they went out to find the second young master, and then they haven't seen it.

Tianhui found out that Xiaocui had been missing for a day and a night, she hurriedly found a few family members to go out to find Xiaocui, she didn't know what was going on? Could it be that Xiaocui had an accident when she went out to find Qian Duoyu yesterday, Tianhui was very worried, since she married into the Qian family, Xiaocui has always served herself, she has never left herself in the past two years, the more Tianhui thinks about it, the more scared she becomes, she thinks that Xiaocui must have had an accident, otherwise she will not disappear out of thin air. The Qian family searched for a few days but didn't find Qian Duoyu, and even Xiaocui was nowhere to be found, and the Qian family disappeared at once.

Tianhui fidgeted all day, he didn't worry about Qian Duoyu, it was better for him to go, but he was afraid that something would happen to Xiaocui, Xiaocui was a girl, Master Qian just told him to look for Qian Duoyu by the way, Mrs. Qian sent a new maid to Tianhui, as if what was lost was not a person, just a worthless thing. Mrs. Qian called Tianhui into the room and said to her, "Poor child, Duoyu doesn't know where to go, he left you like this, what is the difference between you and the widow?" I don't know where he dragged that body? Mrs. Qian wiped her tears while crying.

Tianhui comforted: "Mother, don't worry, he will definitely come back, he may just want to go out for a walk, and he will come back sooner or later." Mrs. Qian said: "Duoyu's child is heavy-hearted, he knows that his father gave Duoshu all the business, even if he is good, he has nothing, he has been arrogant since he was a child, how can he bear it, now he has left before his body has recovered, and there is no one to take care of him alone, how can you let me rest assured!" ”

Tianhui said, "Why don't I go out and find him, mother." Mrs. Qian took Tianhui's hand and said: "Mother knows that you are a good child, although you don't say it, but Mother knows that you are worried about Duoyu in your heart, where can you find him as a woman, you just have this heart, I don't want my son to find it and finally even my daughter-in-law can't find it." ”

In the evening, Mrs. Qian and Master Qian said, "How do I feel that Duoyu is gone, and you are not in a hurry at all?" Is there a lot of books, these children in our big house have nothing to do with you, now that I am useless, my body is like that, why did he leave the Qian family? It's not because you gave Duoshu everything, you still have my Duoyu in your heart, he must be cold before leaving. Master Qian said impatiently: "How can I not care about Duoyu, he is my son, what does it have to do with me when he runs away?" He can't even speak well now, so what can he do even if I give him back the business? He ran away because he couldn't stand the way he became now, what does it have to do with me? ”

Mrs. Qian cried and said: "I don't care, no matter if Duoyu is not at home, this family must have his share, he has helped you take care of the family's business for so many years, there is no credit and hard work, now he doesn't know where to go, even if he comes back in the future, this family can still have his place." Master Qian sighed and said, "Then what do you think you want?" What can I do to do it the way you want it to? Mrs. Qian said: "Duoyu has no children, only Tianhui is left alone in his room, I want you to promise to let Tianhui go to Buzhuang to help Duoshu, and in the future, Buzhuang's business must also have a share of Duoyu." ”

Master Qian said: "She is a woman's family, she doesn't stay at home, what does she do in the cloth village every day?" Besides, Duoshu is still a young man who has not married, and it is difficult to ensure that no one gossips when lonely men and widows stay together every day. "Mrs. Qian said: I am still in charge of others now, I believe that Tianhui can help Duoyu keep Duoyu's share, or who else can I trust? Tianhui is the only one in the Duoyu house, and besides, Tianhui's appearance is like saying that ordinary people exalt her, how can more people talk to her? Master, you are Tayu's father, can you promise it once? ”

Master Qian sighed and said, "I've been annoyed to death about things in the town recently, and you still have to bother me when you get home, so you can do whatever you like!" After that, I went to the second wife's room. The second wife heard that the eldest lady was going to let Tianhui go to the shop, and said with a disdainful face: "Master, the eldest sister is really guarding us from many books everywhere, and now there is no one around us, even the daughter-in-law who is sitting at home also uses it, this second young grandmother has not gone out of the door since she got married, what can she do to help her go to Buzhuang?" Isn't this tantamount to sending someone to spy on many books in the cloth village? Master Qian said impatiently: "Okay, okay, have you said enough, you really can't be clean there." Then he went back to his study.

In a small village not far from the original town, Xiaocui gave Qian Duoyu medicine, Qian Duoyu was lying on the bed weakly, it turned out that Xiaocui came out to find Qian Duoyu that day and found him lying in the alley, Xiaocui helped him up and planned to call someone, Qian Duoyu popped out two words with difficulty: "Help me!" ”

Xiao Cui asked in surprise: "Second Young Master, what do you want me to help you?" Don't you want to go back to your family? Duoyu nodded heavily, and Xiao Cui found a carriage and took him to this small village, where Xiao Cui lived when she was a child, when her father and mother had just died of illness, and her relatives sent her here, which was her grandmother's home. Grandma loves Xiaocui very much since she was a child, and the grandparents depend on each other, and when Xiaocui was a teenager, her grandmother also died of illness, so she came to the Qian family as a maid. Xiaocui took Qian Duoyu to her grandmother's old house, the house was a lot damaged, but fortunately she could still live, Qian Duoyu brought some money when she came out, and their life was okay.

Qian Duoyu has not been in good spirits recently, and he always has a lot of tears and snot, Xiaocui asked him if he wanted to inform the second young grandmother to go back to Qian's house? He also always shook his head. Xiaocui knew that there was no way to go on like this, so she found him a doctor in the village, and the doctor saw Qian Duoyu and said that his symptoms were like smoking a lot. Qian Duoyu and Xiaocui looked at each other, not knowing what to do, Qian Duoyu also affirmed in his heart that someone in the Qian family must want to harm him, he was glad that he ran out, otherwise he would not know how he died.

Qian Duoyu asked Xiaocui to lock him in the house, and he didn't come in every day except to deliver food, and he had to rely on his own willpower to quit smoking. Xiao Cui locked him in the house, listening to Qian Duoyu's heart-rending shouts every day, he felt that he was about to collapse, the second young master who used to be in the Qian family had become like this, Xiao Cui was full of sympathy for him.

After persisting like this for nearly two months, Qian Duoyu's body gradually improved, Qian Duoyu and Xiaocui said: "Xiaocui, thank you for taking care of me in the past few months, I am going to go somewhere else, what are your plans in the future?" Xiaocui lowered her head and said, "Second Young Master, I want to go back to the Qian family, we have been missing for so long for no reason, and the second young grandmother must be dying in a hurry." ”

Qian Duoyu and Xiaocui said: "Xiaocui, are you very good to the second young grandmother?" Xiao Cui nodded and said: "Second Young Master, I have been following the Second Young Grandma since she entered the Qian family, and it has been two years, in fact, the Second Young Grandma is nothing, she just wants to live quietly in the Qian family." Qian Duoyu looked at Xiaocui and asked, "Xiaocui, do you think the person who harmed me will be the second young grandmother?" Xiao Cuitou shook like a rattle, and said: "Second Young Master, I don't dare to say anything else, but I promise that it will not be the Second Young Grandma who will harm you, she is not such a bad person, and besides, she stays in the Qian Mansion all day long, and the door is not out of the second door, where can she get big smoke?" ”

Qian Duoyujue's Xiaocui said it well, although the relationship between Tianhui and herself is not good, but Tianhui should not harm him, because if she dies, Tianhui will become the widow of the Qian family, and it will not benefit her at all, besides, Xiaocui is right, Tianhui has never been out of the gate of the Qian family very often, how could she go to that kind of mixed place to buy big cigarettes and harm herself? In addition to Tianhui, only the eldest brother and the third brother are left.

Qian Duoyu thought about it, he felt that it was not possible to do more books, the person with many books has always been old-fashioned and upright, he has been reading outside, and his thoughts are relatively simple, this kind of harmful thing, he shouldn't be able to do it, then the most likely is the eldest brother, and now Ah Cai is also following the eldest brother....

The more Qian Duoyu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be the eldest brother who asked Ah Cai to do it, no wonder Ah Cai often came to see him when he was recuperating, I thought he was loyal to himself, it turned out that he came to harm himself, the more Qian Duoyu thought about it, the more angry he became, Ah Cai, this dog thing, he used to be kind to him, but he didn't expect him to want his own life. Qian Duoyu slammed his fist on the table fiercely.

At night, Xiao Cui slept in a daze, and suddenly someone covered her mouth with something, and then knocked her unconscious, it was none other than Qian Duoyu who knocked her out, he didn't want people to know how embarrassed he had been here for a few months, let alone let people know his whereabouts, thinking about it, he could only sacrifice Xiao Cui. Taking advantage of the darkness when there was no one, he put Xiaocui in a cloth bag, put a big stone in it, then tied his bag tightly, threw the bag into the well in the courtyard, covered the manhole cover, and escaped while it was dark.

Mrs. Qian asked Tianhui to go to Buzhuang often to help Duoshu in the future, Tianhui knew in her heart that Mrs. Qian just wanted her to help her keep her son Qian Duoyu's share of property, and didn't want Duoshu to be snatched away, but no matter what, she was still grateful to Mrs. Qian, if it weren't for her, how could Master Qian agree to let her, a woman, go in and out of Qian's house at will. Tianhui came to the cloth village on the first day, there were many guests in the cloth village, Tianhui turned around in it, and found that most of the cloth sold in the cloth village were foreign cloth, the fancy style was novel, the color was beautiful, no wonder so many people came to buy cloth.

"Second sister-in-law, you're here." Tianhui looked back and saw that Duoshu was calling her, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Duoshu, I'll cause you trouble in the future." Duoshu smiled and said: "What's the trouble, second sister-in-law, you have stayed in the Qian family in the past two years, and you haven't been out of the door much, how good it is to come out every day now!" You don't have to be so outsider here, just tell me something. ”

Tianhui said gratefully: "Thank you for many books, you can tell me to do any work in the future!" Duoshu smiled and said, "Okay, good, by the way, second sister-in-law, I'll introduce you to someone." After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Shanlin, come here." Shanlin heard Duoshu calling him and hurriedly ran over. Duoshu introduced: "Shanlin, this is my second sister-in-law, I will often come here to help in the future, you take care of it." Shanlin asked in surprise: "Are you the second young grandmother?" I often hear Ling'er mention you, she tells me that the Qian family is the best for her, and sometimes Ling'er still wants to shed tears when you think! ”
