Father Xiao brought up this past incident for no other purpose. Now that his daughter is running around all the year round, he doesn't see much time, so he naturally has to see and talk about it once, hoping that if he tells him more, his daughter will be able to listen.

"Xiaomei, Dad is really afraid that if you continue like this, you will be as lonely as your father, but Dad still has you, if you don't have an heir, in the future"

Mei Xiaoren stood with her back to her father, and said lightly: "Dad, it's not that you can't continue to accept concubines, it's that you don't want to, and you're afraid that the women you meet will be like her."

Mei Xiaoren's voice became smaller and smaller, and she really couldn't bear to mention her father's sadness.

Her impression of her mother was blurred, except that on the second day of their family's homelessness, her mother left, leaving her and her young brother behind.

More than a decade later, she has a little power in her hands, but she has never thought about getting anything back.

In the dark, everything is cause and effect, which is difficult to reverse and not forced. Furthermore, if there was no past, how could there be now

Just like Chu Yu, how easy it is to take revenge on the Chu family with his current rank, but he chose to come to Yun County to confront the Chu family in court, because he planned to recover what the Chu family owed him, not to seek revenge.

She guessed that he might not hate the clansmen of the Chu family, if the Chu family didn't drive him away back then, then he would be a young master of a squire family at most now, and he wouldn't be able to go to Beijing, let alone enter the Wenhua Palace as an official.

Woe and blessing depend.

For Mei Xiaoren, if it weren't for her mother running away and her brother was gone, how could she learn to support a family, how could she lose the cowardice of her daughter's family, and she was not afraid of heaven and earth since she was a child

In the eyes of the villagers in Yunxian County, she is Miss Jiao who is raised in the boudoir, because they have never seen her in men's clothes in the shop, revolving around the Xiao family's business, learning from the shopkeepers, and learning how to help his father support half of the family business.

Governing a county is also like governing a family, if she hadn't grown up and suddenly entered the office, it would be easy to support a county seat.

"Dad, instead of worrying so much, it's better to find a half-immortal to calculate for me and see if I am lonely and old." Mei Xiaoren smiled lightly and walked out of the house.

It was useless for her to persuade her father, she wanted to come to Yunxian County for silver, and if she wanted his father to pay for the silver, she would definitely not say anything to disappoint her father, just to comfort and comfort his old man for her.

After a hurried home, Mei Xiaoren went to Chu's house in person.

Her sudden visit surprised the Chu family, and most of the people in the mansion suddenly came out, but no one invited her to sit in.

Mei Xiaoren stood outside the Chu family's mansion and looked up at the house in front of him. She still remembers that when she was a child, seeing this house reminded her of her home in Xuanzhou, which was also so big and magnificent, but the Chu family's house is now obsolete and has evolved like this, writing about the rise and fall of a family.

When the patriarch of the Chu family heard the report from his subordinates, he personally greeted him and said in surprise: "Miss Amei, why are you here?"

"I'm here to find Young Master Chu, is he there" Mei Xiaoren got straight to the point.

The head of the Chu family looked happy, "You come to find Zifeng" This is the first time that the girl of the Xiao family has come to look for his son. In the past, although Xiao Yuanwai had the heart to marry them, Miss Amei always ignored his unfilial son, and now he came in person, which really made his family overjoyed.

The patriarch of the Chu family hurriedly said respectfully: "Quick, sit at home." ”

Mei Xiaoren could see that he was very happy, and in order to let him not fantasize too much, she said bluntly: "No need, is he here, if he is there, I will bother my uncle to let him come out." ”

The patriarch of the Chu family seemed to be stopped by her question, and was stunned for a long time before he said, "Zifeng, he went to Xuanzhou to learn business before, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

Mei Xiaoren lowered his eyes slightly, not intending to expose the lies he had covered up for Chu Zifeng. The people she arrested, she wouldn't know where Chu Zifeng had gone before

Since Chu Zifeng was not there, she didn't have to stay too long, she only owed a little to the elder in front of her, "Farewell." ”

The patriarch of the Chu family hurriedly shouted: "Miss Amei, when Zifeng comes back, I will definitely let him come to visit." ”

Mei Xiaoren looked back and left.

Chu Zifeng hasn't gone home so far, and he has been wandering alone for so long, but this is the first time in the world.

But a person who has been robbed by bandits, who is cleaner than anything else, will have the mind to go away

Based on her understanding of Chu Zifeng, he didn't have any money in his pocket, and he should have gone home a long time ago, but now he must have stayed outside for other reasons, maybe he encountered some kind of predicament.

In addition to Chu Zifeng's father, there may be another group of people who know Chu Zifeng's whereabouts.

Mei Xiaoren turned back to the Yunxian Market, paying attention to the pedestrians on the street as he walked.

Things gather people in groups, Chu Zifeng wanders on this street all the year round, and there are many fox friends around him. She didn't know anything else, but she knew that Chu Zifeng had recruited a group of ruffians and hooligans in the city to be his junior brother, and followed him to do some bullying things.

These people have long been notorious in the city, she didn't see them on the road, so she randomly picked a shop on the street and went in to inquire, and easily found out who Chu Zifeng's subordinates were and who they were closest to.

Although there are many younger brothers of Chu Zifeng, there is only one who often follows him and pats on the back, named He Si, who lives in Xixia Lane on the edge of Yunxian County.

Mei Xiaoren looked for the guidance of passers-by, and found that the closer he got to the edge of the city, the more dilapidated the surrounding houses became, and there were fewer and fewer passers-by. She walked into an alley and saw that most of the surrounding houses were earthen houses, and there were even shantytowns, which seemed to still maintain the appearance of Yunxian County.

As she walked down the alley, she saw that the doors were closed, and she could only hear the barking of dogs in the surrounding earthen walls. After a while, the dog was silent, and the whole alley was silent.

The sound of "squeak" was heard, especially clear in the empty alleys. Mei Xiaoren looked up and saw a wooden door open in front of him.

Out of the earthen courtyard came a man with a rag bag on his arm. When he went out, he pulled the wooden door through and closed it, ready to lock it.

Mei Xiaoren stopped and looked at him.

The man seemed to notice that someone was staring at him, but he didn't know if it was panic or something, and only one lock action was delayed for a long time, and the door was still not locked. The more anxious he was, the more he seemed to be disobedient to the lock in his hand, and he couldn't fasten it.

Mei Xiaoren approached slowly, stood beside the man, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, lock it slowly, it's okay to let him wait." ”

The man was stunned, turned his head to look at the strange woman in front of him in a daze, and quickly withdrew his gaze, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Mei Xiao Ren'e raised her eyebrows slightly, "But I know what you're going to do"

The man's expression became more and more unnatural, and he didn't even bother to lock the door and wanted to leave, but unfortunately before he could step out, a hand was already in front of him.

"What the hell do you want to do," the man looked impatient.

"Where is Chu Zifeng?"
