Afraid that Mrs. Gu would ask, Su Jinyao said again: "The two sisters and brothers brought back by Mingcui will trouble my aunt to help me take care of them temporarily, and only when the matter on my side is settled, can I go to settle them." ”

"The sister and brother that Mingcui brought back?" Mrs. Gu looked surprised and said, "Jin Yao, Mingcui hasn't been here." ”

"How so!" Su Jinyao was also shocked, and hurriedly said, "I brought a pair of sisters and brothers of the Lin family from Yafu, and I wanted to send them directly to you." But halfway through, Helian's housewife came to me, so I asked Mingcui to bring her sister and brother over first. Didn't I rush back after I finished talking at Helian's house? ”

"I really haven't been here." Mrs. Gu felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly said: "Go and call the housekeepers and grandmothers in the front and back yards and ask who saw Mingcui." ”

No one knows the Lin sisters and brothers here, but Mingcui was specially trained by Mrs. Gu before Su Jinyao got married. Everyone in this ancient mansion knows her, so as long as Mingcui has been here, it is impossible for no one to know.

But when the housekeepers and housekeepers in the courtyard came, no one said that they had never seen Mingcui.

These three big living people, just gone? Or are they delayed on their way?

Qiu Ying came to Su Jinyao's side at this time and said in a low voice: "Master, I'll ask someone to investigate." ”

Although Qiu Ying followed Su Jinyao alone, there were also many spies in the capital who were ambushed. Now that the incident is sudden and strange, Autumn Shadow wants to mobilize spies to find out the situation.

Su Jinyao waved her hand and said, "It's not the worst yet, don't move yet." ”

Then Su Jinyao said to Mingjuan and Mingrui: "The two of you immediately take a few people to look for it, and look for the few roads from Yafu to Gujia." If you haven't already, look in the direction of Helian's house. Return after an hour. ”

Seeing that Su Jinyao was in a hurry, Mrs. Gu knew that the two people Mingcui brought with her must not be ordinary maids or servants, so she asked the person in charge to take someone out to find them. also asked a few fist-fighting people in the house to follow Mingjuan and Mingrui respectively, and make sure that the two of them don't have anything to do again.

Everyone was assigned, and Su Jinyao frowned and thought about where Mingcui would take the Lin sisters? Or is there something really going on?

In broad daylight, and in the capital, no one should directly rob the three people.

So, could it be an acquaintance? Only acquaintances can make it possible for the three of them to disappear together.

However, what kind of acquaintance can make Mingcui and Lin Xiuxiu give up coming to the Gu family first, but follow that person instead?

Could it be...... A person appeared in front of Su Jinyao's eyes, and when she contacted what Lin Xiuxiu said before, she felt that it might be Mr. Pan.

Su Jinyao said, "Auntie, I thought that there was an acquaintance who knew the sister of the Lin family. They may have met on the way, so they went together to talk. ”

"It's good that you have eyebrows." Mrs. Gu was a little relieved, but said, "Who is that?" Kidnapping the two big girls away, so impertinent. ”

Su Jinyao thought about it again, and felt that Mrs. Gu's words were also right. If they really met Mr. Pan, it would be a few words at most.

But Su Jinyao went to Helian's house and sat for a while, and now she returned to the ancient mansion, and the time was even longer. Could it be that Mr. Pan has anything important to say to Xiuxiu for so long?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and the more doubts I felt. Su Jinyao couldn't sit still, so she got up and said, "Qiu Ying, come with me to Feng's mansion." ”

Su Jinyao has never been to the Feng Mansion, but Mr. Pan is a staff member in the Feng Mansion. If Su Jinyao didn't ask to understand, she would have lost the Lin sisters and brothers, not to mention that she didn't want to go, even if she was in the small city, she couldn't explain.

As soon as Madam Gu heard that Su Jinyao was going to Feng Mansion, she said, "Jinyao, who are those two people, so important?" Do you know that in this situation, Feng Mansion may not be on your side as before. So if you go, the Feng family is polite, but if their mood changes, I'm afraid it will not be good for you. ”

Su Jinyao frowned, shook her head and said, "I'm just going to ask about that Mr. Pan, and I won't stay in the Feng family too much." Auntie, don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go, for an hour at most. ”

"Master." Qiu Ying also obviously had some scruples, so he said in a low voice: "The fourth prince is also related to the Feng family, will it be ...... this time?"

Indeed, Yuguiren is the daughter of the Feng family, so the fourth prince is the grandson of the Feng family.

And now all the signs point to the four princes, if it is really the four princes who are the obstruction, then Su Jinyao's visit to the Feng family this time is tantamount to a piece of meat sent to the door.

Su Jinyao had already stood up, and after listening to Qiu Ying's reminder, she sneered and said, "If this is really the case, then I will have to go even more." If I hadn't come forward, I'm afraid that Xiuxiu and my brother would really not be able to come back. ”

Su Jinyao thought that the Helian family had just reminded Su Jinyao that the people in the palace had noticed her movements; The two Xiuxiu sisters and brothers are directly gone, and things must not be so coincidental.

In other words, it is very likely that the other party has already started to make moves. It's just that he can't directly calculate Su Jinyao's head, so he will first take the people around her.

Qiu Ying also knows Su Jinyao's temperament, she will not have anyone to fear, only the person she wants to bring down.

Therefore, Qiu Ying said: "Master, then let Xi Shen'er stay." Let A-Ning change her clothes again, and the two of us will accompany you. ”

Xi Shen'er is still young, and he doesn't know martial arts, so it's troublesome to take it with him.

Su Jinyao nodded and called out A-Ning, who had been secretly following. asked Mrs. Gu to find two sets of clothes for the maids of the ancient family for A-Ning and Qiu Ying.

Su Jinyao explained to Xi Shen'er again: "You just stay here, don't leave with anyone, wait for us to come back to pick you up, you know?" ”

Xiluo'er has always been very well-behaved, nodding and agreeing.

Su Jinyao glanced at Mrs. Gu meaningfully, Mrs. Gu understood, and nodded when she looked at Xi Zhuo'er. It means to reassure Su Jinyao that she will take Xi Shen'er with her.

Mr. Pan was questioned

After leaving the carriage of the ancient mansion, Su Jinyao asked Qiu Ying to lower all the curtains. She pulled out the gold needle on her wrist, lifted the trouser leg of her left leg, and kept acupuncture on her calf.

"Master?" A Ning looked at Su Jinyao with a puzzled expression, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Su Jinyao didn't speak, and after acupuncture, she took out a roll of white cloth and wrapped her injured left foot tightly. From the soles of the feet to the calves, especially the ankles, it is wrapped several times.

Qiu Ying felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly pressed Su Jinyao's hand and said, "Master, the blood of this entanglement method does not circulate, and it will hurt the blood veins of your feet after an hour." ”

Su Jinyao gently pushed Qiu Ying's hand away and said, "I am a healer, I know it in my heart." Rest assured. ”

"But ......" Qiu Ying was about to say something, A-Ning secretly pulled Qiu Ying's sleeve and signaled her to stop persuading.

Su Jinyao is not a person who listens to people's advice, only she makes up her own mind.

Qiu Ying and A Ning glanced at each other, but they actually understood the reason why Su Jinyao did this. Therefore, the two exchanged glances, and they both secretly decided to help Su Jinyao solve this matter in a short time no matter what, and even did not hesitate to turn the Feng Mansion upside down.

The Gu family is actually not far from the Feng Mansion, if it weren't for Su Jinyao's bad feet, it would have taken a quarter of an hour to walk.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of Feng's mansion, the little servant of Feng's mansion immediately brought a temporary dismount ladder and placed it under the pedals of the carriage.

A Ning stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, frowned when he saw the step, and looked back at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao understood in her heart, it seemed that the Lin brothers and sisters were indeed here, and the Feng family had expected that they would come.

Su Jinyao nodded, Ah Ning and Qiu Ying got out of the carriage first, and then came back to pick up Su Jinyao.

But unexpectedly, Su Jinyao just gently held the arms of the two and walked down by herself.

Autumn Shadow gritted her teeth secretly, her fists clenched tightly in her sleeves. She felt sorry for Su Jinyao, and even hated the Feng family for forcing Su Jinyao to this role.

Su Jinyao felt Qiu Ying's movements, and secretly pinched her arm, signaling her not to be reckless. Then he put on his head and stepped into the gate of the Feng Mansion.

The Feng family is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and the momentum of the Feng Mansion is not ordinary.

The little guy who was in charge of leading the way didn't say much, and led Su Jinyao all the way, passed the front hall and door, and walked straight to the backyard.

The backyard is the inner bed of the main family, and non-immediate family members generally do not invite people to the backyard as guests.

Su Jinyao frowned and said, "Which master is greeting guests in the backyard?" It's my first time coming to the Feng family, and I'm not familiar with my master. ”

Only then did the little guy stop and replied, "It's my little young master who has something to explain to the princess." Please, the horse has arrived. ”

After speaking, the little guy walked forward on his own, as if Su Jinyao didn't care if she didn't care if she didn't follow her.

Su Jinyao thought for a moment and followed.

Qiu Ying and A Ning walked left and right in unison, and they secretly increased the strength of Su Jinyao's arm, hoping that this would make Su Jinyao's feet less forced.

When he came to the backyard, the little maid pointed to the flower garden in front of him and said, "The princess, please go over there to drink tea first, my little master will arrive later." ”

Su Jinyao didn't say anything, and walked straight over. Although she has never seen Mr. Pan or the Lin siblings, Su Jinyao's intuition is that she will always gain something from this visit.

This flower garden is not small, and it is surrounded by a flower wall of clematis more than half a person high. Sitting on the stone bench in this flower garden, I couldn't see the situation outside clearly.

And the stone table in this flowerbed is also smooth, saying that it is to invite Su Jinyao to drink tea here, but she doesn't even see a teacup.

Su Jinyao didn't care about this, she just wanted to know what tricks the Feng family was playing, so she sat down, listened attentively to the movements around her, and waited patiently.

After a while, footsteps were heard. It sounded like a couple of people, and one of them had very soft footsteps, either extremely thin or a child at all.

Su Jinyao looked in that direction, and it wasn't until the group approached that she saw that it was indeed the fourth prince. He was followed by Mr. Pan, as well as a few members of the Feng family.

Su Jinyao saw Mr. Pan with a smile on her face.

She didn't pay attention to the four princes who walked in front, but said directly to Mr. Pan: "Mr. Pan, I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?" What is it about that apprentice of yours that you are not angry that you are angry and want to take people away for punishment? ”

Su Jinyao's meaning couldn't be more obvious, she directly determined that Lin Xiuxiu was taken away by Mr. Pan.

Mr. Pan's face was not good-looking, and after being asked by Su Jinyao, he lowered his head and stood silently, obviously full of guilt.

Guilty? Su Jinyao was funny, at this time he felt guilty and had a fart. If he hadn't deceived Lin Xiuxiu, Su Jinyao wouldn't have had to go this way.

Mr. Pan didn't speak for a long time, and the four princes were ignored but not very happy.

He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Su Jinyao, pursed his lips, and then said, "Imperial sister-in-law, I have something to tell you." ”

"Say, I'll listen." Su Jinyao cocked Erlang's legs, sat still, and looked at the fourth prince with cold eyes.

She didn't believe how arrogant a little kid could be.

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Su Jinyao's attitude to be like this.

He originally thought that Su Jinyao had come to the Feng Mansion in person for the Lin sisters and brothers, and he was in a hurry to ask for someone. As long as Su Jinyao opened her mouth to herself, the four princes could naturally put forward the conditions.

But now that Su Jinyao is putting on this posture, it seems that she has something to ask her, so she was invited. It's that the way of "please" is not very bright, and at this time, you have to beware of this imperial sister-in-law going crazy.

Thinking of this, the fourth prince secretly took a breath, shrunk his hand in his sleeve, and picked at his palm with his nails.

He also kept warning himself in his heart: you are not a child anymore, you don't have to be afraid of anyone, you have a good deck of cards in your hand, and you can put forward conditions and chips at will.

The four princes organized what they wanted to say in their minds again, and then walked to the opposite side of Su Jinyao and sat down in a big way.

Maybe it's because this can mean that he is on an equal footing with Su Jinyao, and his status is not bad.

It's just that I didn't expect that the fourth prince was still a child, and at most he was a little teenager. Su Jinyao sitting, he stood tall, and his momentum was still a little.

But now that he is sitting opposite Su Jinyao, Su Jinyao is a little shorter, not to mention that the momentum is lost, and he has to talk to Su Jinyao with his head up.

But you've already sat down, so you can't stand up right away, right?

Therefore, the fourth prince was also a little annoyed in his heart, blaming himself for not thinking too thoughtfully for a while, and he lost face.

You are the one to be taken advantage of

Su Jinyao watched the four princes sitting in front of her, her face was blue and red for a while, and her eyebrows were also beating wildly. I think that no matter how young and old this kid is, he is still a teenager after all. It's just that the momentum has gone up and down, why can't you sit still at all?

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this kid should not be overestimated.

The fourth prince watched Su Jinyao's cold eyes turn relaxed, and a fire rose in his heart, and he said loudly: "Imperial sister-in-law, I'm here to tell you, hand over Xiluo'er to me, our well water will not interfere with river water." ”

"Oh? Didn't you let me exchange the joy pendant for Lin Xiuxiu and Lin Xiuqing's sister and brother, as well as my maid named Mingcui? Su Jinyao was a little surprised.

"Naturally, they are still useful, you give me the joy pendant now." The four princes looked like "I am in charge of my territory", as if there was no negotiation at all.

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "This is not the tone of talking about conditions. If you want to be happy, I want the Lin brothers and Mingcui, this is a fair deal. You grabbed the three of them and forced me over, but you want the white wolf with empty gloves? You're wondering. ”

"Do you want to be beautiful and you will soon know, do you want to exchange or not?" The fourth prince said loudly again. It's as if the voice is not loud and there is no confidence.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "I said, it's okay to exchange." But you want me to hand over the joy pendant for nothing, no. Unless you have the ability to threaten me? ”

"You're great just because you have a Divine Gu King, aren't you? Tell you, I have it too. The fourth prince was a little anxious, and before Su Jinyao could say anything, he patted him on the waist.

Su Jinyao had already seen that the four princes had a jade hollow tube hanging from their waists. Now, as soon as he slapped it, a brown beetle crawled out of the jade tube.

The beetle is the size of an adult man's thumb, has three gold wires on its back, and a pair of jagged pliers can be seen inside its mouth when it is closed and closed.

What's even more bizarre is that the beetle's tail also has a scorpion-like barb, but it is not as long as the scorpion's tail, but only three short segments. However, the barb is faintly red, and it can be seen that it is highly poisonous.

Su Jinyao looked at the scorpion-tailed beetle, and then looked at the appearance of the fourth prince with a hideous face towards him, and said, "Tsk", "Boy, did you show your hole cards too early?" This Divine Gu King has only only risen to the third order, and he is still four levels short of my seventh-order top-level Divine Gu King. It's called timidity. ”

"Hmph" The fourth prince snorted heavily, and said, "One can't work, what if it's three?" I don't believe that your Seventh-Order Divine Gu King can defeat my three Divine Gu Kings. ”

After speaking, the four princes whistled at the scorpion beetle in their hands.

Then everyone saw that the scorpion beetle had grown its mouth, and from its mouth with serrated pincers, two more Gu worms crawled out, and they were both at the level of the Divine Gu King.

One is about the same size and appearance as a bee, and it is also a third-order god Gu king; The other slender and slender one resembled an earthworm, and it was the second-order Divine Gu King.

Su Jinyao suddenly felt that the bear child in front of her had a bean in his brain? Is this a group fight between small children? There are so many insects.

Could it be that the fourth prince thought that the third order plus the third order, plus a second order, was equal to the eighth order, so that he could be higher than his own seventh-order God Gu King?

Thanks to her, she still tied up her foot injury on the road in a serious way, just in case there was a fierce battle. Knowing that this was the case, she would have taken it lightly.

Su Jinyao moved a more comfortable posture and held her forehead slightly. Then he said: "Fourth prince, don't go around in circles, if you don't want to explain your intentions directly, I'll say it for you." ”
