Aunt Hu was stunned and shook her head, "No, that girl only came to talk to me for a long time yesterday evening, and she didn't come back after she went back." After speaking, seeing the eagerness on Meng Xiaoran's face, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly pulled her and asked, "What's wrong?" Did something happen to Xiaocui? ”

Meng Xiaoran hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, don't worry, auntie, I just didn't see Xiaocui in Moyuzhai, so I came to you to look for it, since she didn't come to you, she must have gone elsewhere, you should be busy first, I'll look for it again." ”

Aunt Hu was anxious, but she couldn't, so she had to nod, "Then you will come to inform me as soon as you have news, and let that girl come to me by herself." ”

"Well, don't worry, auntie, I'll look elsewhere." With that, she hurried out of the big kitchen.

When Meng Xiaoran searched the entire Prime Minister's Mansion and didn't find Xiaocui, she realized that something was wrong, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she hurried out of the mansion when she calmed down.

Fortunately, now she is also Lu Ziqing's concubine, and no one will embarrass her when she leaves the house, Meng Xiaoran hurriedly ran to the door of the Kyoto Restaurant and stopped, took out the whistle and was about to blow it, and was patted from behind.

She turned around and saw that it was Qingfeng, and immediately said, "Qingfeng, take me to see Shen Qian."

Qingfeng looked around and nodded, "Come with me." ”

Qingfeng took Meng Xiaoran through a small alley, through the secret room of a private house, and came to a room, Meng Xiaoran looked at it, it was the wing room of the Treasure Pavilion, it turned out that there was a secret room to pass through, no wonder Shen Qian came and went freely.

Shen Qian looked at her with an anxious look on her face and asked, "What's wrong?" I saw you in a hurry from afar, but what happened? ”

"Xiao Cui is gone!"

******

"What do you say? Caught the wrong person? Liu Ruxue stood up from her seat with a frown, looking at the green Qing who was hanging her head on the side.

Lu Qing didn't dare to speak, and knew that things were messed up, Liu Ruxue's face was very bad, she glared at her and said, "Didn't you say that he was reliable?" How could the wrong person be arrested, and who is being arrested now? ”

"It's Xiao Cui next to Green Fu." Green replied in a low voice.

"Xiao Cui? The maid? Liu Ruxue thought for a while and said: "That's it, since you have caught the wrong person, let that Wang Liu go again, you must catch Lufu!"

"Yes...... But now that she has been startled, she knows that Xiaocui will definitely be vigilant if she is caught, and it will not be easy to catch her again. Green whispered.

"I don't care, you go and tell Wang Liu, it's because he didn't do a good job, if he didn't destroy Lu Fu, he didn't want to take the remaining two thousand taels!"

"Yes......"

In a ruined temple outside the city, behind the huge Buddha statue, Xiaocui's face was bruised and her clothes were tattered, and she looked up blankly, looking at the smiling Buddha heads.

"Sixth brother, didn't you say that she was a beauty? Although this looks good, it's just beautiful, where is it as good as you say. The person who came said while getting dressed, and smashed it twice in his mouth, "But it tastes good, thank you Sixth Brother!" ”

Wang Liu also leaned to the side with a satisfied face, and sneered at the man, "Don't mention it, I caught the wrong person, but it's not bad, it's a chick, and the taste is good, but the personality is a little stronger." ”

"Sixth brother, then I'll go first, if there is such a good thing, don't forget to call me." The man smiled obscenely and left the ruined temple with a red face......

When Shen Qian heard the news of Xiao Cui's disappearance, he didn't think he was going to make a move, but when he saw Meng Xiaoran's anxious appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately ordered Qing Feng to send someone to investigate.

After that, the two sat in the wing room and waited, where could Meng Xiaoran sit still, standing in the room and walking back and forth, constantly praying in his heart that Xiaocui would be fine.

"Come and sit down, Qingfeng will send it immediately when he finds out the news, and it won't help you to go back and forth like this." Shen Qian was naturally uncomfortable when he saw her like this, but it was difficult for him to say words of comfort, so he could only say such a plain sentence.

Meng Xiaoran nodded and sat opposite him, but his hands were clasped tightly together, Shen Qian looked at her slender hands with green tendons exposed, his eyes couldn't bear it, and poured a cup of tea in front of her.

But he didn't see her pick it up for a long time, so he couldn't help but reach out and hold her hand, only to find that her hands were cold, her palms were full of sweat, and she was still trembling slightly, and her heart suddenly hurt.

He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from her palms, and then put the teacup into her hand, "Drink some hot tea, don't worry, there will be news soon, I will accompany you." ”

During the whole process, Meng Xiaoran seemed to be unconscious, and when the cup of warm tea fell into the palm of her hand, she felt a burst of warmth, which made her feel warm in such a summer.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Qian, this was the first time she looked at him directly since he confided her heart, and when she saw the concern and worry in his eyes, she suddenly felt warm in her heart, "Thank you." ”

The waiting time was particularly long, for an hour, Meng Xiaoran actually had the illusion of a lifetime, she sat opposite Shen Qian, except for a few words between the two before, there was no conversation after that, and Shen Qian also waited silently with her.

The silence in the wing room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard, so when a slight sound came, Meng Xiaoran couldn't help but jump in his heart, and immediately stood up, and sure enough, after a while, Qingfeng walked in, and glanced at Meng Xiaoran with an anxious face.

Then he reported to Shen Qian, "Childe, I have found out, someone sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion Moyuzhai last night and kidnapped a maid. ”

"Did you find it? Found them? When Meng Xiaoran heard this, he immediately stepped forward to ask.

A trace of hesitation flashed on Qingfeng's face, and then nodded, Meng Xiaoran was hit by the last mystery in his heart by his expression, and suddenly he was so weak that he almost fell, but fortunately, Shen Qian's eyes were quick and he helped her from behind, and after a while, she was relieved.

Shen Qian looked at Qingfeng and asked, "What about people?"

"That man's martial arts are very high, and it took a lot of effort for his subordinates and others to finally subdue him, and now he is being watched, but the maid is ...... Still in that dilapidated temple, his subordinates and others did not dare to act rashly, so they sent people to guard there and came back to report to Gongzi and Miss Meng. Qingfeng bowed his head and replied.

"Take me there." Meng Xiaoran stood up straight and said, Qingfeng glanced at Shen Qian, saw him nodded, so the three of them went out together, and before leaving, Shen Qian also took a hat and handed it to her, "Wear this, so as not to be recognized." ”

Meng Xiaoran took it and put it on, and the three of them performed light skills, shuttling quickly through the city, this was the first time she used light skills during the day, but she had no time to think about anything else at the moment, she only wanted to see Xiaocui quickly.

The speed of the three of them was very fast, and half an hour later they arrived at the broken temple, and as soon as Shen Qian landed, several people came out and knelt down to salute, "I've seen the master." ”

Shen Qian waved his hand, "Bring that person up." ”

At this time, Meng Xiaoran stood at the entrance of the broken temple, and she didn't dare to take a step inside, she was afraid, afraid to see a scene that made her regret for the rest of her life, and finally she mustered up the courage to walk in.

After turning to the Buddha statue, when she saw Xiao Cui lying on the ground, she burst into tears for a moment, knelt down beside Xiao Cui and covered her mouth tightly and cried bitterly, Xiao Cui's eyes were closed at this time, as if she was not angry, Meng Xiaoran trembled and stretched out her hand to put it under her nose, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she felt that there was still breath.

Looking at Xiao Cui's scars all over her body, she was heartbroken, and quickly took off the smock on her body to cover her, and then she stood up and walked out, in the courtyard of the broken temple, a person was tied up and knelt on the ground by five flowers, Meng Xiaoran had hatred in his eyes, and he walked over and pulled out the sword in Qingfeng's hand and pointed it at him.

"Who told you to do this?"

The man looked up at Meng Xiaoran, his eyes flashed with amazement, and he snorted, "It turns out that they want me to arrest you, it's a pity, it's a pity......"

Shen Qian's face instantly turned much colder, and he glanced at the person who was pressing him on the side, and that person immediately kicked Wang Liu's body hard, "The master asked, who instructed you to do this?" ”

Originally, Shen Qian didn't have much feeling in his heart, but when he heard that person's words, he knew that someone had instructed him to kidnap Meng Xiaoran, but she wasn't there last night, so he kidnapped Xiao Cui who lived next to him, so he naturally wanted to find out.

So he looked at Qingfeng and ordered: "You take him to Nanyuan and give it to those three brothers, my son has also raised them for a long time, I guess their methods will not disappoint me, and I will know the whole truth tomorrow."

"Yes!" Qing Feng bowed his head to accept the order, and then waved his hand at the few people, and soon everyone took the person and retreated.

"It's me, it's me who they want to kill...... I hurt Xiaocui, I hurt her......" Meng Xiaoran felt a little wrong since she heard Wang Liu's words, and Shen Qian immediately walked towards her when she saw this, "What's wrong with you?" ”

He stretched out his hand to hold her, but she waved it away, "It's all me, if I didn't go to see you last night, Xiaocui wouldn't have been arrested, they had to deal with me, but let Xiaocui suffer for me, I kept saying that I wanted to protect her, but I kept worrying about her, but I kept affecting her......" Meng Xiaoran looked at Shen Qian, but his eyes were not focused, and the tears in his eyes kept sliding down like pearls.

Shen Qian saw her so out of shape for the first time, since he knew her, she has always been cold and detached, except for the beginning in the restaurant, he never seemed to have seen her emotions exposed, and at this moment, she cried bitterly in front of him, Shen Qian didn't know why, his heart ached, he raised his hand to cover the heart of his left chest, and felt a little throbbing pain.

He stepped forward quickly, ignoring Meng Xiaoran's struggles and hugged her tightly into his arms, "Don't cry, your crying will break my heart." ”

Meng Xiaoran didn't seem to hear it, she was immersed in remorse and self-blame and couldn't extricate herself, and dimly heard Shen Qian say in her ear: "You have to cheer up, otherwise how can you avenge her?"

Meng Xiaoran gradually calmed down, yes, she wanted revenge, the hatred in her eyes was suppressed, she withdrew from Shen Qian's arms, "If you find out, tell me immediately, I must kill him with my own hands!" ”

Shen Qian nodded, "Okay, this time I'll let you do it yourself, now I'll send you back, you should be careful." ”
