Chapter 44: Entering the Mansion of the Marquis of Wynne
Zhao Qingyan, who came over, carefully examined his injuries, watching his lips gradually turn white, and his eyes became distracted.
"Shizi? The Son? ”
She shouted nervously, but the other party did not give any response, but pulled out a dismal smile, and the whole person fell to the ground unconscious.
Zhao Qingyan, who was completely panicked, also felt dizzy, and the moment she closed her eyes, she seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
I don't know how long it was, but she slowly opened her eyes and found herself resting in Zhuangzi's room, with Lixia waiting next to her.
"Lixia, where is the son of the world?"
"Shizi? I don't know, when I found you, you had a high fever for several days, and it took several pills to go away. ”
Lixia shook her head and said some details, she couldn't figure out what the young lady was doing, it was like she had fallen into an evil spirit.
A person who is good on weekdays has a high fever for three days, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight.
Zhao Qingyan had no time to take care of herself, she clutched the quilt tightly, her eyes full of worry.
I don't know what Wen Qiao's injury is, but she still dragged her feet. "Miss, do you want to get up and take a walk, the doctor said that it is better to go out for fresh air."
Lixia pushed open the door with the basin, and the bright sunlight outside poured in like a waterfall, making her feel the warmth she hadn't felt for a long time.
After sweating, Zhao Qingyan only felt that her stomach was empty, and she wanted to make some cabbage porridge to nourish her stomach, so she leaned against the wall and walked to the door with her coat on, and slowly paced in the corridor.
Lixia was called by her to deal with the chores in the Zhuangzi, she walked into the kitchen silently alone, stretched out her hand and began to make cabbage porridge, who knew that all she was thinking about was Wen Qiao's face, and the picture of the two fighting against the wild wolves together was still vivid.
If Shizi really did something because of herself, whether it was physical or physical, she would definitely not be happy.
"Alas, it's upsetting."
She fanned the cabbage porridge on the small pot with a fan, and the hot air that came out hooked out the worms in her stomach. An hour later, Zhao Qingyan sat on the stone stool at the door of the kitchen with a bowl, chewing slowly one bite at a time, and his eyes casually glanced at the oleanders in the yard.
The melancholy and uneasy mood came to her heart again, and she did not have the courage to go to the palace of the Marquis of Huai'en to inquire about the news, and perhaps there was another way.
"That's right! I can find out the news from Xiao Lan's mouth, he always circles around Wen Qiao! ”
After thinking clearly, Zhao Qingyan ate all the porridge in the bowl, put the bowl and chopsticks down, and ran out of Zhuangzi to the famous Xiao family in the capital.
The butler who opened the door and walked out looked at the woman in front of him in a daze, as if he had seen her somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Do you have any instructions?"
The other party obviously had a strict defensive mentality, only half of his head was exposed from the door, and his eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension.
Zhao Qingyan didn't care about these details, she hesitated to pull the hem of Luo's skirt, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
"Is Young Master Xiao Lan here? I have something important to do with him. ”
When she asked like this, the housekeeper's brows suddenly furrowed, and he was also surprised where the young master went, recently the Xiao family was looking for him up and down, but no one could tell the specific whereabouts of the young master who had always disappeared without a trace.
"The young master hasn't come back recently, and the master and the lady are also looking for him. Maybe Miss do you have a clue? ”
He looked at Zhao Qingyan's expression nervously, and the other party's face suddenly showed loss, shook his head and said goodbye and walked away.
"Strange, where else can Xiao Lan go?"
In her memory, Xiao Lan has always been Wen Qiao's follower, and the two of them are eating and drinking together, if they can't find Xiao Lan, does it mean that something happened to both of them?
She was thinking while wandering on the street, and unconsciously arrived at the door of the third or fourth restaurant, and the people under her staff kept the restaurant in good order, even if she was not there, she could do a good job of reception, just these days when she had a high fever, the store was full of people, and the guests fell in love with it after eating, and now it is inseparable from the third or fourth restaurant.
"Shopkeeper! You're finally here! This is the ledger for these days. ”
The bookkeeper Xiucai smiled with a smile on her face, and looking at it also made Zhao Qingyan smile, maybe she is a girl who loves money in her bones, whether it is modern or ancient, she feels very happy when she sees money.
The shopkeepers in the restaurant were also busy, they were walking around with tea, and Zhao Qingyan was happy and ordered to go down and add a salary to everyone, even if it was a hard time during this time.
"Alright, you don't have to pay attention to me, just go about your part."
She found a stool and sat down to continue to check the accounts, and finally finished reading the account book before planning to go around, but she didn't expect that just around the corner of the alley, a dark shadow appeared behind her, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and dragged it away forcefully.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Qingyan subconsciously resisted, she was not a girl who could be kidnapped casually, just as she raised her fist and was about to beat it, the other party obediently let go of her hand and stood in front of her as if she had been deflated.
"Miss."
How could this sound so familiar? Zhao Qingyan stared at the person in front of her in a daze, and from the silhouette, it seemed to be her familiar maid.
It turned out to be pothos! She reacted immediately, and the pothos had asked her before, saying that she had something at home to take leave to return to her hometown, and at that time she kindly gave twice the coiling, planning to let her go back to her hometown and live with her father and mother for a while.
Who knew they would meet here, and she was going to do it to herself?
"How could you be like this? And make yourself unkempt! ”
Zhao Qingyan looked at her in surprise, the gray-faced girl in front of her did not look like a maid in the past at all, but like a female beggar who ran out of a corner.
Luluo didn't expect to meet the owner here, she had heard that there were many dignitaries and dignitaries in the new restaurant here, and she thought about whether she could take the opportunity to make some money to have a full meal, who knew that she would meet her.
"Miss! I was wrong, and I shouldn't have taken a leave of absence. ”
She knelt down in front of her with a plop, her eyes were suddenly filled with crystal tears, and the bean-sized tears couldn't stop flowing down, which made people feel distressed to watch.
Seeing her crying so sadly, Zhao Qingyan also softened her attitude and listened carefully to her experience, and couldn't help but sigh.
It turned out that the father and mother of the green pothos died, and she met a thief on the way back to her hometown with the plate, and all the silver was stolen, and she also suffered a lot along the way, and finally met herself today.
Think about it, she is a stupid girl, she won't ask others for help when she encounters bad things outside, she should at least come to Zhuangzi to find her for help as soon as possible!
