Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Daughter of Shangshu Mansion Disappears

Zhao Qingyan said lightly and was about to turn around and leave, but the shopkeeper immediately rushed to her nervously, opening his arms to block her way.

"Don't girl, you have something to say, why don't you suddenly rent this shop? I'm a treasure of feng shui here, it's a pity that you don't rent it! ”

Although the shopkeeper didn't want her to take down this shop from the bottom of his heart, if he didn't complete the task assigned by the prince, wouldn't he be able to eat and walk around?

No one dares to disobey the order of the prince, he is also eating on the rivers and lakes, and he can still carry it clearly.

Zhao Qingyan's eyes stubbornly stayed on the token on his waist, sure enough, it was Wen Qiao's subordinate, she didn't know what bad luck she had taken recently, and she couldn't get along with this man for three days.

"There are no pies falling in the world, your shop is so good, and the rent is so cheap, how can I put my mind at ease?"

She raised two willow eyebrows and teased, although she had already seen through the other party's thoughts, she still gave a little thin face. It's a big deal that she goes elsewhere to continue looking, isn't there a shop in the huge capital that she can get her hands on?

Hearing her say this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, it seems that Miss Zhao's determination has been decided, and no matter how much she keeps it, it will have no effect.

"It's not a secret, this shop is indeed handed over by the prince, and I am also acting on orders, and I hope that Miss Zhao will not deliberately embarrass it."

He bowed down respectfully, and his face was full of flattering smiles, which made Zhao Qingyan and Lixia next to him slightly stunned.

At this moment, in a teahouse in the capital, Xiao Lan, who had not seen him for a long time, smiled and picked up the teapot and poured water into the teacup in front of him, his face full of curious gossip.

"You tried your best to help, could it be that you were thinking about this woman?"

After so many years of calling the prince a brother and a brother, it was the first time Xiao Lan had seen him so attentive to a woman, and he really didn't believe that there was no romance behind him.

Nothing can escape Xiao Lan's fiery eyes, in the face of his teasing, Wen Qiao couldn't help but tighten his heart, as if he was poked in the center, after a while, he picked up the Biluochun in front of him and took a small sip, his eyes glanced away unnaturally.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not attracted to any woman, and you know I don't like her."

The old lady once said that Zhao Qingyan was the lucky star of her life, and forcibly arranged for the two to get married, he has always been unwilling to believe in these superstitious things, let alone take the initiative to accept this lady who was arranged.

However, Zhao Qingyan does have something attractive, he always involuntarily runs into the Zhuangzi, and can't help but want to see her.

If this is tempting, it is too hasty and rude. Who can figure out the feelings between men and women?

He shook his head and denied it, Xiao Lan smiled suspiciously, and then instructed the shopkeeper to bring some refreshments, took a small piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"That's right! Do you know about the disappearance of the concubine of Shangshufu? Recently, there has been a lot of turmoil in the capital! ”

He slapped the back of his head before he recalled that when he had breakfast this morning, his father nagged him, and secretly reminded him to take the initiative, maybe he could take this opportunity to climb the high branches of Shangshu Mansion, and the Xiao family's reputation in the capital would be even greater.

However, Xiao Lan didn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters, what did the disappearance of his concubine have to do with him, and besides, looking at the entire capital, I don't know how many forces are trying their best to find it!

"Daughter-in-law? What is it called...... Gu Zhiruo, right? I seem to have heard of her name somewhere. ”

Wen Qiao picked up the pastries on the table, and showed elegance in his gestures, he really couldn't see that he was a brave and warlike general.

His eyes were full of indifference, and the stammering of those forces towards Shangshu was all for their own petty gains, whether it was the prince of Huai'en Houfu or the identity of a general, he was not interested in these.

But Gu Zhiruo, the eldest lady, has a lot of fame in the capital, she is gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable, and reasonable, and she is the object of yearning for many unmarried sons!

"Hey! I said, why haven't you moved at all? I'm telling you this just to make you contribute! Are you afraid that you won't be able to find a young lady by your ability? ”

Xiao Lan waited silently for a long time and didn't see him react, so she couldn't help but directly pick out her thoughts, open the skylight and say something bright.

If Wen Qiao can find Gu Zhiruo, Lord Shangshu will definitely have a good impression of him, and when the time comes, he will be able to secretly pull the strings, and the Huai'en Hou Mansion will be able to join forces with the Shangshu Mansion, which is also a good thing!

Wen Qiao, who didn't care, nodded a few perfunctory words, he also knew that he was in the limelight during this time, and I was afraid that the emperor also had a lot of suspicions about the Huai'en Marquis Mansion, so it would be more appropriate to restrain it for the time being.

At this time, Zhao Qingyan's little face suddenly appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a subtle arc.

"I'll tell my men to keep an eye on it."

This is too perfunctory! Xiao Lan frowned and his two sword eyebrows could be heard, and he clearly didn't want to join this wooing battle.

"I really hate that iron can't become steel! That's it, and I'm not going to meddle in it. ”

He shook his head helplessly, turned around and looked at the lobby of the teahouse, just in time for the play to come on stage, and the topic of the two ended there.

Zhao Qingyan and Lixia heard all the details from the shopkeeper's mouth, and their faces became a little strange, even if they went back to Zhuangzi together, they didn't say much, as if they were immersed in their respective worlds.

But just halfway down the Qianmo trail, Liu Rong suddenly rushed out and blocked their way with open hands.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhao Qingyan raised her eyes in surprise and looked at her, anger appeared on her delicate and fair little face, since she figured out what happened to Yu Pei, she handed Liu Rong over to Lixia to deal with, and now looking at her ragged appearance, she should have been driven out.

Liu Rong bit her lip and stared at her quietly, and suddenly fell to her knees with a thud, her trembling hands wrapped into fists, and shook them one by one.

"Please Miss Zhao let me live! I don't dare to do that kind of thing anymore! You have a lot of adults, and for the sake of me and my sick son, spare me! ”

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and a few tears crossed her rough and vicissitudes of life, which made Zhao Qingyan's heart soften for a while.

After all, there is room to be a man, her son is seriously ill, and saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter.

With this thought, Zhao Qingyan sighed helplessly, reached out and touched the money bag tied around his waist, poured all the silver taels in his palm, walked straight to her, and instructed: "These silver taels are for you to take your son to the hospital for treatment, don't do that kind of stupid thing in the future." ”

"Thank you! Thank you, Miss Zhao, for a lot of them! What a living bodhisattva you are! ”

Liu Rong, who got the money, cried even more fiercely, and all she was talking about was gratitude to her.

Zhao Qingyan shook his head, and the thought of returning to his old business was even worse, no one could predict whether the future would be good or not, and one day she or Chen'er had some accidents, could it be that she would have to ask for the Huai'en Hou Mansion?

Although she knew that she shouldn't think like this, Zhao Qingyan had to think about Chen'er and her future, she was never a person who sat and waited for death, how could this little Zhuangzi restrain her?
