Under the pressure of Qi Xiangdi, the people of the Yamen arrested the murderer who kidnapped Gu Xian's master and servant after a secret visit.

When Mrs. Gu heard that the murderer had been caught, she immediately went to Qi Xiangdi: "What about Xiaoxian?" Where is Xiaoxian? ”

Qi Xiangdi said with a look of shame: "Auntie, I'm sorry, Xiaoxian was harmed by those two wicked people. ”

When Mrs. Gu heard the bad news, she immediately fainted.

Mrs. Qi has been taking care of her at the bedside, and no matter how much the Zong family persuades her, she will not leave.

After Qi Xiangdi came back, he also persuaded Mrs. Qi: "Mother, I'll take care of my aunt tonight, you go and rest!" Mother, my aunt is already sick, you can't be sick again. ”

Mrs. Qi choked up and said, "I told her everything, let her detain Gu Xian at home, and don't let her run around." But your aunt just won't listen. If you had heard, there would have been no such thing. ”

"Mother, no matter how much you can't be blamed for this."

Mrs. Qi wiped her tears and said, "Xiang Di, have you found Xiaoxian's body?" ”

Qi Xiangdi hesitated and said, "Mother, in fact, Xiaoxian is not dead. ”

Mrs. Qi looked up at him and asked, "Xiaoxian is not dead, why do you want to tell your aunt that she is dead?" ”

Qi Xiangdi smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoxian has fallen into the hands of pirates. ”

The so-called pirates are pirates. Since the boom in maritime trade, so have the number of pirates. Fortunately, the imperial court sailors were strong, and these pirates only dared to rob the ships and did not dare to harass the people along the coast.

Mrs. Qi was silent.

The fate of the women who were sold to pirates was miserable, and as for the escape from the den of thieves, it was never before.

Qi Xiangdi didn't want people to know about it, because it wasn't a good thing for Mrs. Gu and An An. In addition, after letting Mrs. Gu know, maybe she will try her best to save people. But the women who fell into the thieves' den were never rescued. In order to cut off her extravagance, Qi Xiangdi lied that Gu Xian was dead.

Mrs. Qi sighed and said, "In this case, then you seal the mouths of the people below." ”

Qi nodded to the flute.

"Who instructed them to kidnap Gu Xian?"

Qi Xiangdi shook his head and said, "Mother, no one instructs." When the two saw that their cousin was beautiful, they had evil thoughts and tried to arrest her. ”

There are very few women in the pirate's den, so both women and girls need them. But the government is so strict that even women are hard to buy. Because of this, the price is particularly high, and the outstanding appearance is even more expensive. Under the high profits, there are still some people who take risks.

Mrs. Qi was silent and said, "Your aunt said that the person behind the scenes is the Cui family. "It's normal for her to be so suspicious, the matter of Ganquan Temple back then was done by the Cui family and the Xu family."

Qi Xiangdi said: "Mother, everything needs evidence. ”

There must be evidence, even if the other party is the sister of Zhongyong Hou, he has a way to bring him to justice. But there is no evidence, just speculation, and he can't help it.

After being in a coma for two days and two nights, Mrs. Gu woke up.

Mrs. Qi wanted to feed her bird's nest porridge, and when she saw that she didn't want to eat it, she sighed and said, "If you have three long and two short, Qingshu and An An will be swallowed by Lin Chengyu and the poisonous woman without even bone slag." ”

Old Lady Gu thought of the dream that Qingshu had, and her face changed greatly. In that dream, Lin Chengyu sold Qingshu for the second career

"I'll eat."

Xiaoxian had already suffered an accident, and she couldn't let Qingshu and An An be harmed by that animal and poisonous woman again.

The illness came and went, and the old lady Gu could only get out of bed for half a month.

On this day, she had just finished taking the medicine, and Qi Xiangdi and the Zong family came to visit her.

Old Lady Gu put down the bowl and said to Qi Xiangdi, "Haven't you found Xiaoxian's body yet?" ”

Qi Xiangdi shook his head and said, "No." I've sent someone to salvage at the beach, but there's no news. ”

Zong said cautiously: "Auntie, it's been almost a month, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it." ”

Qi Xiangdi didn't tell her about Gu Xian being sold to pirates, not because she didn't believe it, but because she felt that if someone knew about it, there would be less risk.

Old Madam Gu was silent and said, "If you want to see people in life, you have to see corpses in death." ”

If the body is not found, it may have been saved. Although she also knew that this probability was very low, there was still a luxury in the end.

Mrs. Qi wanted to change the topic: "Calculate the time, Qingshu should have arrived in the capital by now." ”

Old Mrs. Gu said: "Qingshu has more than two months to take the exam, so I can't tell her about this." ”

Qingshu worked so hard just to enter Wenhua Hall to study, and she couldn't be affected by this matter.

Mrs. Qi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I didn't tell her about this, even An An I hid it." ”

In order not to affect Gu Xian's reputation, she did not say anything about her disappearance. So when looking for someone, I also used the excuse that there was a maid at home who stole important prices.

Old Lady Gu smiled bitterly: "If you can hide it for a day, just hide it for a day!" ”

Wait until the day when you can't hide it and tell her, it's also An An's child who is too sincere, if Qingshu found out earlier.

At that moment, a hurried footstep sounded outside. Without waiting for the Zong clan to open his mouth and scold, a person opened the curtain and rushed in.

Seeing the face of the person who came in, Zong was so frightened that he took two steps back. The dead suddenly appeared in front of him, and everyone was afraid.

Seeing this, Qi Xiangdi hurriedly helped her and said, "Don't be afraid, it's my cousin, she should have been rescued." ”

"No, it's not a ghost?"

"Where the hell came from in broad daylight?"

Zong sighed and said, "It's okay if my cousin is fine." ”

Gu Xian is back, and her mother-in-law and aunt don't have to be sad. Mrs. Qi treated her as her own daughter, and reciprocated the favor, and the Zong family also hoped that she could be happy every day.

Gu Xian rushed over and hugged Mrs. Gu: "Mother, mother, I'm back." ”

Old Mrs. Gu thought she was dazzled: "Xiaoxian? Is Xiaoxian you? Xiaoxian, you're back to see me. ”

Gu Xian cried and said, "Mother, I'm not dead. Mother, I was rescued. Mother, I'm sorry to worry you again. ”

Old Lady Gu pinched herself hard, and the pain made her sure that she was not dreaming: "Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian, you're okay." ”

"Mother, I'm fine, I was rescued."

Old Mrs. Gu was so happy that tears fell: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

After the mother and daughter calmed down, Mrs. Qi asked, "Xiaoxian, who saved you?" ”

Gu Xian remembered the scene at that time and still had palpitations: "It was the second master of Huo Ji Commercial Bank who saved me." If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have died. ”

Huo Ji Commercial Bank is one of the three major commercial banks in Fuzhou. The guys in these trading houses are all fierce, and they often fight with pirates. It's also Xian's luck to meet these people.

Old Madam Gu said with a grateful face: "We have to thank people." ”

When Qi Xiangdi heard this, he immediately said, "Auntie, I'll entertain him." ”

If it weren't for this Shen Er in charge, she would have sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person. Old Madam Gu shook her head and said, "No, I want to thank him personally." ”
