Chapter 13: Lost
Knowing that Wen Qiao had left the house, Mrs. Cheng's face changed, she thought that Wen Qiao had acquiesced in choosing a wife for him yesterday, but she never thought that he would leave the house.
And how could everyone in the capital not notice the changes in Mrs. Cheng, since the person told her just now, she lost the enthusiasm she had at the beginning.
"Madame, what shall we do next?" Mrs. Cheng's maidservant said.
After all, the people who came this time are some famous ladies, and no matter what, they can't be treated badly.
"Now I can only cope with it, find a reason to send them away." Mrs. Cheng understood that it might be too late to send someone to find Wen Qiao at this time, so she could only find a reason to send everyone away, "There is something going on in the house today, I'm afraid it will not be well entertained." ”
Regarding Mrs. Cheng's words, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion frowned, she was invited to the banquet, but now that she heard Mrs. Cheng's meaning, she wanted them to leave, and she was naturally very dissatisfied in her heart.
"Mrs. Cheng, what do you mean by this? We were all invited to come this time, and you are so perfunctory to us? "The eldest lady of the General's Mansion has always been direct and has a hot personality, so she asked directly.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Cheng also frowned dissatisfiedly, if it was a normal day, she would definitely be dissatisfied, but today she also understood that it was her own negligence that caused such a situation.
"Miss Shen, you misunderstood, something did happen in the mansion today, and it didn't mean anything else." Although it is her own problem, Mrs. Cheng is an elder after all, and there is no reason to apologize to the juniors.
The eldest lady of the General's Mansion wanted to say something, but was stopped by the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion on the side, and motioned for her to say less with her eyes.
The eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is known as the first talented woman in the capital, and the action just now still did not escape Mrs. Cheng's eyes, seeing her so knowledgeable, Mrs. Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
Then, I heard the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion say slowly: "Since this is the case, then we will leave first, don't bother Madame, and come to visit Madame when we have time the next day." ”
Among the women present, there were a few who were not human spirits, and when they saw that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion had already spoken, the other ladies who came to the banquet said goodbye to Mrs. Cheng one after another.
And at this time, in the restaurant.
"Shizi, there is a clue." A man in black appeared in front of Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao sat there quietly, his slender fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, invisibly giving people a sense of oppression: "Say, what have you investigated." ”
"After the investigation of his subordinates, it was found that he would send people to this restaurant every day to inquire about the news, and the people he sent were different each time."
Hearing this, Wen Qiao's fingers tapping on the table stopped, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, but it did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
The man in black found that Wen Qiao's eyes had been staring at a dining table downstairs, and following Wen Qiao's line of sight, he saw a man dressed very ordinary.
The man in black wanted to ask, but found that the man was about to leave, and Wen Qiao at this time immediately followed, and the man in black could only temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart.
Although the man was dressed ordinarily, Wen Qiao clearly felt that he was a person who practiced martial arts, and his martial arts were definitely not low.
Wen Qiao cautiously followed behind the man, but a crazy horse suddenly appeared in the middle of the road and rushed towards a little girl, and Wen Qiao immediately went to the rescue.
"I want my mother, I want my mother." The little girl may have been frightened by the horses, and kept shouting for her mother.
Although Wen Qiao was very concerned about the man in his heart, he had to appease the little girl at this time, and the man in black followed, Wen Qiao did not dwell too much: "Don't be afraid, your mother will be here soon." ”
Xu is Wen Qiao's voice was too gentle, and the little girl gradually stopped crying under his comfort.
"Sister-in-law, where are you, sister-in-law." A woman's voice came from not far away, and Wen Qiao picked up the little girl and found the woman.
The moment she saw the little girl, the woman immediately rushed to Wen Qiao, pulled her into her arms, kept checking, and said, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" ”
The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the little girl was not injured, and then heard the little girl speak: "Mother, it was this big brother who saved me and brought me to find my mother." ”
The woman's words made the woman notice Wen Qiao, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and then looked at Wen Qiao with a grateful face and said, "This son, thank you for saving the little girl." ”
"No problem." At this time, the man in black also came to Wen Qiao's side.
"Shizi, his subordinates are incompetent, and they are lost." The man in black didn't expect that man's martial arts to be above him.
Thinking that he was only a little close to catching the person behind the curtain today, the man in black was unwilling, but he was helpless.
Hearing the words of the man in black, Wen Zichen did not get angry, because he had already noticed that the man's martial arts were strong, and it was very normal for the man in black to be followed and discovered.
"It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future." After that, Wen Qiao and the man in black returned to the mansion.
Knowing that Wen Qiao had returned home, Mrs. Cheng immediately sent someone to prepare a meal, and she went to find Wen Qiao: "Qiao'er, you just came back, you must have been hungry for a long time, I have ordered someone to prepare a meal, go eat it now." ”
Wen Qiao wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Cheng was his mother after all, so she could only nod her head and agree.
Eating these meals, Wen Qiao frowned, these are his favorite foods on weekdays, but for the first time today, he felt that it was so difficult to swallow, so he took a bite casually, and put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Seeing that Wen Qiao hadn't eaten much, Mrs. Cheng said, "Qiao'er, these meals are your favorite food on weekdays, why do you only eat so little today?" But what's the matter? ”
"There's nothing wrong with it, I just think that today's meals are a little different from usual."
Hearing Wen Qiao's words, Mrs. Cheng's heart was full of doubts, after all, she ordered someone to make this table according to Wen Qiao's preferences, how could it be different from usual?
"Come on, take this table down and serve it again."
"Yes, ma'am." The subordinates of the Hou Mansion moved quickly, and a new meal was quickly served.
"You taste it again, eat more." Mrs. Cheng picked up a piece of venison and put it in Wen Qiao's bowl.
In desperation, Wen Qiao could only pick up the chopsticks again and eat them, but found that there was no difference between these meals and the table just now, which still made it difficult for him to swallow.
"Mother, my son still has important business, so leave first." After that, without waiting for Mrs. Cheng to speak, she left directly.
Seeing that Wen Qiao just hurriedly ate two bites and left, Mrs. Cheng's heart was full of anger, feeling that the food made by the people in the kitchen was not up to Wen Qiao's appetite.
"You go now, and replace all the people in the kitchen for me." Mrs. Cheng said to her personal maid.
"Yes, ma'am, the slave understands."
