In the Yuan Mansion, Xia Yusheng and Xia Zishu almost waited until dawn, and they didn't see the people sent by the two of them come back.

The two of them sat in the main hall of the courtyard all night, but they couldn't wait for the man in black to come back.

The candle flame in the room was clearly flickering, Xia Zishu yawned, looked at Xia Yusheng with a gloomy face, and said worriedly: "Dad, that person shouldn't be arrested, right?" ”

Xia Yusheng clenched his hands into fists, his face was already sallow after not sleeping all night, and his dark eyes were deadly open.

Obviously, he didn't know what that was going on.

Lan Yuan came back from outside, his face was a little hesitant, he held the plate in his hand, and after some hesitation, he still walked over and put down the porridge and rice on the plate: "The master and the young lady have waited all night, it's time to be tired, eat something and rest." ”

The two of them were indeed a little tired after waiting all night, but in the current situation, they couldn't eat a mouthful of food.

Xia Yusheng looked at the food on the experience table, and directly waved his hand to let Lan Yuan take it down.

"Master, Miss, you can't stay up like this, you'll burn your body." Lan Yuan said with great "concern", and said casually: "What if that person runs away with the money given by the master, you better not wait, go back and rest first?" ”

Hearing the last half of Lan Yuan's words, the faces of the father and daughter changed suddenly.

"Dad, why don't we send another person?" Xia Zishu whispered.

Xia Yusheng shook his head, "No, we still don't know if that person was caught or ran away, if we rashly let people probe again, we are afraid that we will startle the snake." ”

"It's better like this, let's see if there is anything abnormal in the moon that day, if they arrest someone like this, they will definitely report to the official, let's wait, if they don't report to the official, we will send someone to investigate." Xia Zishu proposed.

Xia Yusheng touched the beard on his chin, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

Hearing the two of them say this, Lan Yuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the father and daughter were about to eat some food and go back to rest, the maid from the other courtyard hurriedly ran over and said in a panic: "Oh no, Miss Master, Miss Miss, it's gone." ”

"What!"

Xia Yusheng stood up in shock, and Xia Zishu on the side didn't expect Xia Ziyan to disappear.

"How could a good person disappear, how do you look at people?" Xia Yusheng slapped the table angrily.

It's strange to think about it, he didn't confine that girl for two days, as long as she didn't leave this house.

The maid looked at Xia Quan with such a big fire, and suddenly she was frightened and knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Yes, it was Miss who said to rest yesterday afternoon, so that the slaves and maids should not disturb, until the evening, the slaves knocked on the door, and the young lady did not respond, and the slaves thought that the young lady was still resting, so they did not disturb." ”

"But, but...... When the slave maid got up to wash up, she found that the beds in the room were stacked well, and then she realized that the person was gone. ”

The maids were naturally afraid in their hearts, Xia Ziyan herself was a more delicate character, and the maids were also afraid, she said that she didn't dare to disturb, and these maids naturally didn't dare to go up and disturb rashly.

Hearing the words of this maid, Xia Yusheng liked that the maid was useless, and this master could not eat at night.

Seeing Xia Yusheng so angry, the smile on Xia Zishu's face flashed, and she was a little surprised but also quite proud.

Xia Ziyan ran out at this time, which was tantamount to disobeying her father's order and doing such an unruly thing, and her father would be furious.

"Dad, don't be angry, my sister may just think that the house is too boring, go out to play for a while and come back, don't worry, anyway, it's not the first time for her." She spoke for Xia Zishu with a "kind" face.

Xia Yusheng was really reminded by her last sentence: "What is called not the first time, you tell me clearly." ”

Xia Zishu then informed Xia Zisheng of the last time Xia Ziyan quarreled with her aunt and ran away from home.

Sure enough, Xia Yusheng was even more angry, he didn't expect Xia Ziyan to be so arrogant and unseemly as a guest in the Yuan Mansion, where there was a little bit of a lady's appearance.

"This stinky girl, find it for me, and if I find it, I will definitely break this stinky girl's leg." He pointed to the maid in front of him.

The maid hurriedly responded, got up from the ground and was about to look for someone, but she didn't take two steps and was called back by Xia Yusheng: "Go to that Qiao's house to have a look, and look for Qiao You's dilapidated restaurant." ”

He thought that since Xia Ziyan had gone to Qiao You's house last time she had eaten and run away, this time she might be at her house.

After all, she is also unfamiliar with life here, and she doesn't know a few people, except for the inn and Qiao You's house, where else can she go?

"Yes, slave, slave knows." The maid went down to find someone.

"Okay, dad, don't be angry, you go back to rest, leave the matter of finding my sister to me, I'm measured." Xia Zishu said this on her face, but in her heart she wished that Xia Ziyan would never come back.

In this way, there will only be one daughter in the entire Xia family, and the chance to marry the Yuan family in the future can only be her own.

Thinking so, she sent Xia Yusheng back to the room to rest, and when she came out of the room, she called Lan Yuan.

"You go to the sky to pick up the moon and look for it secretly, if Xia Ziyan is there like this, you come back and tell me."

Lan Yuan didn't know why, and Qiao You's words came to mind again. "Remember, no matter what Xia Zishu tells you, you must find a way to tell me."

Thinking of the cause of her sister's death, Lan Yuan unconsciously held it hidden in her sleeve, and her nails almost caught her flesh.

"Yes, the slave knows." She lowered her head and sneered, and agreed to Xia Zishu's words.

Xia Zishu, who was thinking about how to solve Xia Ziyan, did not find anything abnormal in Lan Yuan, and continued: "Also, if Xia Ziyan is found in the restaurant, you first intercept those who go to the restaurant to find people, and don't let them find people." ”

"Why, Miss?" She asked subconsciously.

Xia Zishu didn't speak, and looked at Lan Yuan with a cruel gaze.

Lan Yuan immediately lowered his head and said nervously: "The slave and maid have crossed the rules, so let's do it." ”

Lan Yuan's figure quickly disappeared from sight, and Xia Zishu's lips rose, evoking a sneer.

Xia Ziyan, I wanted to spare your life, but you were looking for death by yourself, no wonder me.

Her original plan was just to make Xia Ziyan seriously ill all the year round and not to leave the bed, after all, such a weak body can't withstand any kind of toss.

In this way, the opportunity to inherit the Xia family and the Yuan family's marriage naturally belongs to her, and Xia Ziyan will not lose her life.

……

In the restaurant, Xia Ziyan was sleeping on the bed, Qiao You came in with a decoction, and when she saw that she was still sleeping, she directly took a broom and beat it on the cabinet next to her.

"Bang, bang."

Xia Ziyan was sleeping sweetly, and when she heard this voice, she was directly overcovered, but Qiao You's strength became stronger and stronger.

"Hurry up, otherwise, be careful that I send you back to Yuan's mansion."

Hearing the sound of "Teng", Xia Ziyan sat up from the bed in an instant, and her original sleepy eyes were a little frightened.

It makes people feel that the Yuan Mansion is as terrible as hell on earth.

Qiao You sent the decoction to her, this was the prescription she saw in Xia Ziyan's baggage, she originally knew that Xia Ziyan was not in good health, although she was getting better now, but the medicine couldn't be stopped.

Smelling this smell, Xia Ziyan felt like she was about to vomit, and looked at Qiao You with blank eyes.

Qiao You didn't speak, just held the bowl.

In desperation, Xia Ziyan had no choice but to drink all the leftovers.

"You're about to become my mother." Xia Ziyan wailed, not having the appearance of Miss Jiao Man half a minute ago, pulled the cup and covered her head and prepared to continue sleeping.

Qiao You: "......"

Seriously, this girl is alive and kicking every day, and although her face is a little paler, she can't see anything.

But the vicious diagnosis is such a frail and sickly body.

If it weren't for her frailty and illness, Qiao You felt that she had thrown this stinky girl out eight hundred years earlier.

went out and summoned a kung fu dart downstairs to come up to the second floor to watch, especially Xia Ziyan's room.

Xia Ziyan has been out for so long, and Xia Yusheng and the people from the Yuan Mansion don't come out to find it, and they can't do anything, she always feels a little strange.

There are more than a dozen darts in the restaurant, and they are people from the Shunqing Dart Bureau in the city, and she gives 500 taels to the Dart Bureau every month, so that they are responsible for protecting the safety of their restaurant.

Although this costs a lot of money, at least these rough men who don't look easy to mess with make those who have a heart dare not come to trouble and smash the field.

After packing up the things and opening the restaurant, there were not many people early in the morning, most of them came to buy steamed buns.

She was about to go to the trial of the man in black who was tied up in the firewood room with Yuzi and Yuzi when she heard someone shouting behind her.

"Miss Joe."

The person who came was Orchid Garden.

Early this morning, Qiao You took advantage of the time when Lan Yuan came out to buy snacks in the morning and squatted at the door of Yuan's mansion, asking Lan Yuan to help him keep an eye on Xia Ziyan.

Lan Yuan was afraid of Xia Zishu in her heart, but she also hated it, Qiao You knew.

Lan Yuan had a sister who died in the hands of Xia Zishu, and deliberately drowned people in front of Xia Zishu, and in the end, she didn't even leave her body, and threw her into a mass grave.

Knowing that Lan Yuan's sister Lan Xuan died miserably, and Lan Xuan also helped herself, Qiao You couldn't bear to let Lan Xuan die without a place to be buried, so he specially found someone to prepare to bury Lan Xuan's body.

Who knows, on the way there, I saw Lan Yuan pushing a cart and pulling Lan Xuan's body.

Therefore, Qiao You was determined, even if Lan Yuan was unwilling to help him for gold and silver, he would definitely help him bring down Xia Zishu for revenge.

Sure enough, in order to avenge the murder of her sister, Lan Yuan would rather not have money than help her.

The two glanced at each other and went to the backyard together.

Qiao You asked Yuzi to go to see the situation of the man in black first, and he took Orchid Yuan to the back of the garden in the backyard, which was always deserted and there were no people.

"The people in the house have found out that the eldest lady is missing, and they are looking for it, and they will probably find it here." Lan Yuan looked around, a little nervous in his heart.
