293. Missing
After Gao Zhinan and Xu Shu separated, he sat in the carriage and slowly walked around the street, and the depression in his heart also dispersed for seven or eight minutes, and he opened the curtain just to see a dim sum shop, and suddenly felt a little hungry, so he ordered the coachman to stop, and took Caixia out of the car into the dim sum shop, and after tasting it, he picked three or five kinds of dim sum and weighed, "This white sugar paste is Xiaoshu's favorite food, I made this when I first learned to make dim sum, and at that time she was willing to give face and was willing to eat what I made!" Although the taste here is not as good as that of Kyoto, it can only be settled, and further north, you can't even eat it......
Gao Zhinan's eyes showed sadness, no matter how strong she is, she will eventually be just a fifteen-year-old girl, leaving her hometown alone, and suffering a lot, it is inevitable that she will have instinctive thoughts about her relatives in her hometown, and the warm memories of the past are unforgettable.
Caixia sighed lightly, "Why did Miss have to bet on this with the lord in the first place, if you don't want to get married, the lord can't force you to nod!" ”
"When it comes to that point, how can I still have the face to stay in that home? I'm not just fighting for that breath, but also to preserve the last bit of family affection! Gao Zhinan muttered, the corners of his eyes suddenly felt slightly wet, Gao Zhinan touched his finger lightly, and sure enough, he touched a water stain, and lowered his hand with a wry smile, "I'm sorry for you, but I want to leave Lao Tzu Niang and go so far away with me at a young age!" ”
Caixia cried and shook her head, "No matter how bitter you are, you are not bitter, Miss!" ”
Gao Zhinan wiped his tears and took a deep breath, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go back quickly, if you don't go back, Xiaoshu should be in a hurry!" ”
Back at the mansion, Gao Zhinan pushed open the door of Xu Shu's room with snacks but found that the room was empty, "Why is there no one in the house?" Could it be that she hasn't come back yet? It shouldn't be! She said she was going to come back and sort out the herbs! ”
Caixia said, "Could it be that someone is talking in the house next to you?" ”
With Xu Shu's temperament, he would not find someone to talk to, but he couldn't completely rule out this possibility, so he knocked on the door next door, and Miss Xiao San opened the door herself, and was a little surprised to see that it was Gao Zhinan, "Why does Miss Gao have time to come to me?" ”
Gao Zhinan asked straight to the point, "Is Miss Xu Jiu here with you?" ”
Miss Xiao San shook her head, "Didn't she go out with you?" How? You got lost on the road? Looking at Gao Zhinan in front of her, Miss Xiao San couldn't help but be curious, how can a big living person get lost? And he is also a person like Xu Shu who is alert and different from ordinary people.
Gao Zhinan sighed, his eyes crossed Miss Xiao San's shoulder and scanned Miss Xiao San's house, the room was really empty, even Miss Xiao San's maid Xuehuai didn't see it.
Seeing this, Miss Xiao San simply opened the door and stepped aside, "Miss Xu Jiu is really not here with me!" If you don't believe me, come in and check it out for yourself! ”
Gao Zhinan shook his head, "She's a big living person, and you can't hide it if you want to!" ”
Miss Xiao San smiled, "That's right! ”
Gao Zhinan asked again, "Has Miss Xiao San ever gone out today?" ”
Miss Xiao San shook her head, "I'm tired and don't want to move around, so I asked Xue Huai to go out and buy some things for me, and I've been resting in the house!" ”
"Then Miss Xiao San, have you seen Miss Xu Jiu come back?" Gao Zhinan asked again.
Miss Xiao San thought about it and shook her head, "No! Except for the two of you who came back together two hours ago, and there hasn't been any movement in the next room since! ”
Xu Shu didn't come back after separating from herself, so where did she go? Did she go out for a walk like herself? Gao Zhinan's heart began to feel a little uneasy.
Miss Xiao San comforted, "Xu was delayed by something, it's still early, and I should come back in a while!" ”
Gao Zhinan hurriedly said goodbye, and didn't go back to his house, he went straight to Xu Shu's house, and waited until the sun set in the west without waiting for Xu Shu to come back.
Caixia looked panicked when she came back from receiving Gao Zhinan's dinner for the night, and Gao Zhinan stood up when he saw this, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Caixia put down the tray containing the food and said with tears in her eyes, "The slave maid just heard from several other young ladies in the kitchen that they accompanied their young ladies out today and met Rouran...... They also said that those Rouran people drank wine and wanted to tease their young lady, and if it weren't for the guards patrolling the city to break the siege, the Rouran people would have succeeded......"
Could it be that Xu Shu also ran into Rouran? That's why you haven't come back until now?
Gao Zhinan was suddenly in chaos, if Xu Shu fell into the hands of Rouran, it would not be as simple as molesting and being humiliated! Along the way, Gao Zhinan also learned that Anathu is an extremely narrow-minded villain, and Delong was exposed because of Xu Shu's identification, and Anato's cautious eye will inevitably blame Xu Shu for most of Delong's death, once Xu Shu falls into the hands of Rouran, Anatotu will inevitably kill Xu Shu to vent his anger!
And today everyone is acting alone, Anatu doesn't have to worry about exposing the crime after killing Xu Shu, there is no evidence, and there is no witness, he is not worried that he will find out about him, even if everyone suspects that it was done by Rouran, but after all, there is no evidence......
"What to do? What to do? Gao Zhinan's tears fell, "It's all my fault...... Okay, what kind of temper do I have, isn't it just a few taels of silver, I don't lack this little money, others earn it, how can I let her go alone just because of this little thing......"
Gao Zhinan cried guiltily, and Caixia also cried, but she didn't forget to comfort her own young lady, "Miss Xu Jiu has her own natural appearance, she will definitely be fine, she must have stumbled over something else and didn't come back!" ”
Gao Zhinan cried and shook his head, "Don't say it, how can I believe it if I don't even believe me?" If she was really just stumbling over something else, how could you have a horrified look on your face when you mentioned Rouran? You clearly thought of going with me......"
"But...... But ......" Caixia didn't say a word of comfort to Gao Zhinan for a long time, and could only watch Gao Zhinan cry weakly.
Gao Zhinan cried for a while and suddenly had an idea, "Let's go find the princess and let the princess send someone to find her!" ”
Saying that, Gao Zhinan rushed straight to the courtyard where Princess Chang'an stayed, and it was time for dinner, the palace maid stopped Gao Zhinan from letting her in, but Gao Zhinan was afraid that Xu Shu would really fall into the hands of Rouran, and Xu Shu might die if he delayed for a while, so he knelt directly in the courtyard and shouted loudly regardless of the etiquette rules, "Princess, help!" The courtiers have something important to say! ”
