Chapter 9: Lai Feng Building
Although it was already the middle of the night, the prosperous area of Chang'an was still brightly lit, and the streets were wandering with people who often spent time in the land of fireworks, some of them were the sons of the rich and the rich, and some were civilians who could barely make ends meet, and people who did not belong to the same world gathered in this place for the same reason.
It's just that tonight is more lively than usual, there are officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere on the street, and the whole Chang'an City has a little more tense atmosphere that is usually not at this time, a few drunk men are sitting in the private room on the second floor of Lifeng Building, talking about the unusual night, and a few women with heavy makeup are pouring wine for them on the side.
"What the hell happened today? How can there be so many officers and soldiers all at once? ”
Another man looked around and whispered, "I saw a few Yulin soldiers just now. ”
"It seems that something terrible has happened this time, even the emperor's forbidden army has been dispatched."
"Come on, don't let these things ruin everyone's interest."
Situ Jiayan is now in a mess, Shen Jiayan is sitting in front of the main hall with tears in his eyes, Situ Hao is wandering back and forth in the living room, Situ Chenfeng and Situ Muling have been out for three hours, and there is still no news of Situ Youning, Situ Shaoqi is discussing important matters with important ministers in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he doesn't dare to tell him the news of Situ Youning's disappearance.
"Woo... It's all my fault, I shouldn't have forced Ning'er to do something she didn't like, otherwise something like this wouldn't have happened. Shen Jiayan's crying became much louder, since Situ Youning disappeared, she has been crying intermittently until now, and her eyes have begun to become red and swollen.
"Madam, don't blame yourself anymore." Situ Hao admonished on the side, "If you want to blame, blame Ning'er for being too willful and naughty, this girl is back, see if I don't clean her up." When Situ Hao said this, his tone was mixed with worry and anger.
"Mother, Sister will be fine, don't be so anxious." An eleven or twelve-year-old boy appeared in the doorway rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Shen Jiayan hurriedly wiped the tears on her face, walked towards the little boy with a smile, gently stroked his head, and said kindly, "Weiniang knows that your sister is just playful for a while, playing hide and seek with us, she will naturally come back tomorrow, Shu'er, go back to sleep quickly." ”
But the little boy didn't listen to Shen Jiayan's words, pouted and opened his arms towards her, "Shu'er wants my mother to accompany me." ”
"Madam, you accompany Shu'er to rest, don't worry too much, I will send someone to inform you as soon as there is news." Situ Hao walked behind Shen Jiayan and patted her shoulder gently.
"But..." Shen Jiayan looked at the little boy, nodded lightly at Situ Hao, and walked towards the room with him in his arms.
Situ Hao sat on the chair and sighed deeply, from the time of the child to the time of the day, he had been sitting there, from time to time he would take a sip of tea to relieve the worries in his heart, and there were three times in the middle of the message from the next person, but every time he stood up hopefully, and sat down disappointed.
Just after the morning, the two Situ brothers returned home with a tired face, but there was still no news of Situ Youning, facing a table of sumptuous breakfast in front of them, except for the young Situ Hanshu, no one was in the mood to move chopsticks.
After a while, Situ Shaoqi appeared at the door of the house rubbing his head, after discussing affairs last night, the prime minister hosted a banquet to entertain them in the prime minister's mansion, he drank a few more glasses, and stayed in the prime minister's mansion.
"Are you so together today?" Situ Shaoqi walked towards the lobby as he spoke, sat on a chair, and quickly served him a cup of hot tea, after he took a sip, he noticed the abnormality of the atmosphere, looked around for Situ Youning's figure, and stood up with some uneasiness in his heart, "Where is Ning'er?" ”
Everyone didn't know how to answer for a while, and finally Situ Hanshu picked up a steamed bun and left his seat, standing in front of Situ Shaoqi and munching on the steamed bun and said, "Sister was robbed." ”
"What?" Situ Shaoqi's mind went blank in an instant, and the whole world seemed to collapse, and he took two steps back.
Shen Jiayan suddenly burst into tears.
When Situ Youning woke up, it was already noon, and when she found a group of women standing by the window watching her, she subconsciously sat up from the bed and shrank into the corner.
"What a beauty." An elderly woman said with satisfaction, and the women standing behind her, who were slightly thinly dressed, all showed disdainful eyes.
The woman sat on the edge of the bed and gently pulled Situ Youning's hand, Situ Youning quickly shook off her hand, jumped out of bed and walked towards the door, but as soon as she opened the door, she was blocked by the two big men standing at the door.
The woman was very satisfied with Situ Youning's behavior, and twisted her body and walked towards Situ Youning, "As long as you are obedient, I will definitely not treat you badly, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future." ”
"What is this place?" Situ Youning moved a few steps to the side, trying to distance himself from the woman.
As soon as Situ Youning's words came out, the women in the room all laughed, and one of the good-looking women took two steps towards Situ Youning with a smile, "Lifeng Building, my sister will have to listen to my sisters more in the future." ”
Lavande House? Situ Youning always felt that he had heard these three words somewhere, and he still heard them often, but he couldn't remember them for a while.
"Don't try to hurt yourself, or I'll leave your lover dead with no place to bury." The woman left the room with the others.
"Lover?" Situ Youning reacted for a long time before he remembered the man he had saved last night.
