Zhao waved his hand innocently, flattened his mouth, and said with a look of grievance: "My sister can be regarded as wronging me~ The master didn't like to be annoyed by people on business when he was resting, so he asked my sister to find it another day!" ”

"You!"

"What's the noise?" Xia Wanqing's tears were about to flow out, but she didn't know what to do! Xia Wanqing has always looked like she has no quarrel with the world, but now she doesn't know how to fight with this woman! I was in a panic, but I didn't know what to do.

Mama Changqing on the side also felt anxious for Xia Wanqing, and she also hated this Zhao family's current actions! At this moment, when there was a lot of noise outside, Qiu Xingbei walked out wrapped in a robe, frowned, and asked irritably.

As soon as the Zhao family saw Qiu Xingbei appear, he immediately ran towards him, and a small bird hid in Qiu Xingbei's arms, crying and shouting: "Master, why did you come out?" ”

"You just said you have something to deal with, and that's it?" Qiu Xingbei's eyebrows softened, and with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he asked.

"I'm sorry lord, I still disturbed your rest, the concubine and my sister have made it very clear just now, the lord is now resting, and he will no longer discuss business, but my sister didn't listen to the concubine's explanation, and wanted to rush in.

Master~ The concubine really has no status in this mansion. ”

This sentence was like a fuse, which completely detonated Qiu Xingbei's heart.

Qiu Xingbei, who was already a little irritable because of business, now doesn't know what to do! Besides, this woman would not be found on weekdays, but today she wants to fight with him, her face immediately became dissatisfied, and she immediately rushed forward, and almost raised her hand to slap him.

"Xia Wanqing! Is there anything you have in the evening that you can't say tomorrow, I've been busy all day, do you want to disturb my last bit of leisure? This scolding poured down like dirty water without warning, making Xia Wanqing stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but Mama Changqing on the side was not scolded like her, but immediately spoke.

"Master~ The slave and the lady came to disturb your free time so late because...... The eldest lady has not returned to the house by this time, and no one has come to pass it on, so the slave maid and the lady are worried that something will happen to the eldest lady, so they come to inform the master! ”

"That guy is not late in autumn, where are you going to go so late? You two don't come to me on purpose to lie. ”

Qiu Xingbei frowned, thinking about how he rarely went out in the past when it was not too late, how could he go out and forget to come back? Xia Wanqing's eyes were red, and with Mama Changqing's words, she was even more confident.

"Sir! What Changqing said is right! Moreover, the reason why I left the house tonight was because the eldest prince came to find him, saying that he had a relationship with Wanwan and became a confidant, and the two never came back after they went out! I'm also worried, so I hope the master can help. ”

"The Great Prince......" Qiu Xingbei's eyes were stunned, but then he still spoke, looking unconcerned: "So what? You can rest assured when you go out with the prince, that boy does treat your good daughter as a friend, and it is normal to forget the time when you go out to play, if it's okay, go back and rest early, maybe your daughter will come back tomorrow. ”

This indifferent look made Xia Wanqing's heart even colder.

She didn't expect that after so many years, she hadn't seen the man who gave her such a valuable oath at the beginning, but now she turned his face and didn't recognize anyone! Good, good! At that moment, a person flashed through her mind...... Seeing that Xia Wanqing didn't speak anymore, Qiu Xingbei in front of him didn't bother to say a word of nonsense, but instead threw up his sleeves and prepared to go towards the house.

At this moment, Xia Wanqing suddenly raised her head, bypassed Zhao's disdainful eyes, and shouted at the back of Qiu Xingbei in front of her: "Master! I know you don't want to mind about me and Wanwan! But do you want the Lord Regent to blame you? He and Wanwan are about to get married, if such an accident happened before the remarriage, and you, as the prime minister, as Wanwan's father, actually helped, what do you think the regent will do to you? ”

"You threaten me?" Qiu Xingbei turned his head a little incredulously, looked at Xia Wanqing's firm eyes, and asked in disbelief.

"Don't dare to concubine!" Xia Wanqing immediately leaned over to show her weakness, but after seeing the confusion in Qiu Xingbei's eyes, she immediately said: "The concubine said so much just for her own child, and now her life and death are uncertain, as her father, if you don't help, why can you do it so carelessly!" You can say that the regent has no identity to investigate you. ”

"But did you know that it's too late...... It's the princess appointed by the regent! If your handpicked wife goes missing, what do you think the regent will do? "This sentence 'hand-picked princess' made Qiu Xingbei stunned for a moment, he may not have thought that in the end, Xia Wanqing would actually grasp such a powerful reason to ask him, he was stunned, and he couldn't help but calm down, as Xia Wanqing said, if he really didn't want to deal with this matter, after tonight, Qiu Weiwan might have disappeared in this world, but he was happy, without a burden, then ...... What about the Regent? If the regent investigates the whole matter, and then investigates him, he is so disregarding the death of his eldest daughter, I am afraid that it will be known to the whole of Kyoto, and that kind of result is what Qiu Xingbei does not want to see.

At this time, Qiu Xingbei finally showed weakness.

Although he didn't understand why this Xia Wanqing had such a bold appearance after seeing him once for so long, he ...... Maybe it's all for her precious daughter! "Someone!" Qiu Xingbei shouted, and the steward on the side immediately came up.

As soon as the Zhao clan heard Qiu Xingbei shouting like this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, but when he wanted to stop it, it was too late.

"Send two-thirds of the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion to search outside, and search me door to door! By the way, there are all within ten kilometers of the outskirts of the city for me to search, I want to see if this girl is lost by herself, or someone has kidnapped her! ”

"Yes!" The steward glanced weakly at Xia Wanqing below, then answered and retreated.

Xia Wanqing's heart was already crackling, she thought at first that there was no way to move out of the big Buddha of the regent, but she didn't expect that it would be so easy to make Qiu Xingbei show weakness! It's good now, as long as Qiu Xingbei is willing to contribute manpower to help search for her Wanwan, then everything is possible! Late, late! You must wait there obediently, your father's men will soon find you.

Qiu Xingbei looked at Xia Wanqing, whose face was a little lax, frowned and asked, "Madame, don't you go back to rest?" ”

"I'm going back, it's wrong to disturb the master's resting time."

Xia Wanqing immediately leaned over and left with Mama Changqing and the people in her courtyard.

Qiu Xingbei looked at the back, frowned, but didn't know what he was thinking, and quieted down.

Not long after Xia Wanqing returned to her courtyard, the steward took two guards and a girl in blue clothes and hurriedly ran in from outside, she was puzzled, but she thought it was her own night, and immediately rushed up, but she didn't expect that the other party was a grizzled Huanzhu.

Huanzhu! Xia Wanqing didn't expect it, she didn't expect that the maid who had been with Qiu Weiwan for many years would be here, so it didn't mean that her evening was really uncertain now! "Steward, where did you find Huanzhu?" Although no matter how worried she was in her heart, Xia Wanqing also knew that this Huanzhu was like half a daughter, so she immediately asked the most doubtful place in her heart.

"Mrs. Hui, we just took a group of guards to search in the East City, and we saw the fainting Huanzhu girl in an alley, so we immediately brought her back, and the doctor is coming from behind, and after checking the pulse for a while, we will know why the Huanzhu girl has fainted until now."

What the steward said was true, he didn't want to lie and deceive Xia Wanqing, every time he walked into this place, the steward felt as if he was being stared at by a person, as if he only needed to do one thing wrong, and he would be punished for saying the wrong thing, so it was better to say it honestly, and avoid some things.
