Chapter 33: Wrath
Jiang Liuli went straight to the small building where Sister Hong lived, and before she reached the door, she saw Sister Hong coming in a hurry, followed by the frightened Youziming.
"Kite, slow down." He stared at Sister Hong nervously, afraid that she would accidentally fall because she was walking too fast.
"Miss, you're finally back." Sister Hong didn't pay attention to You Ziming, but looked at Jiang Liuli with a look of surprise.
"How's your body? Is there something uncomfortable? Jiang Liuli looked at her and saw that her face was ruddy, neither thin nor fat.
"I'm fine, nothing at all." Sister Hong said happily, during this time, You Ziming almost didn't let her manage the affairs of Yishui Pavilion, and handed them over to him to deal with, she was idle, but he was very busy.
You Ziming goes out early and returns late every day, and she has to care about her when she comes back, she is very worried that if this continues, his body will not be able to bear it, so she wrote a letter to tell Jiang Liuli the news that she is pregnant.
Jiang Liuli took her right hand, checked the pulse, and saw that the pulse was stable, so she was relieved, it seemed that You Ziming had taken good care of her during this time.
"Miss, who are these?" Sister Hong looked at the few people behind her.
"She is Yu Caiwei, Duan Ruoxi, and Yun Feifei, and the rest are Anan and Bei, Chunyue." Jiang Liuli introduced them one by one, and she was able to introduce them to everyone so patiently, which explained the status of several people, and the sisters of Yishui Pavilion would also respect them.
Sister Hong greeted them with a smile, and then a group of people entered the small building, and Mingyue Mingxia returned and took out the luggage in the carriage.
As it gets dark, a group of people gather around the table for a sumptuous dinner, and then arrange for a few people to rest.
Yu Caiwei and Duan Ruoxi had a good arrangement, and they could live in a small building with them, but Yun Feifei and Anan and Abei were a little embarrassed, and in the end, they had no choice but to let them live in a small building in the front yard, although the front yard was a place to welcome guests, there were also many rooms.
Although the girls don't live there, some guests need to be quiet, so they will arrange a separate room for them, and it is elegant to sing poetry with the girls alone.
After arranging everyone's residence, Jiang Liuli returned to the room, checked the prescription sent by Lan Gongzi before, and began to study it.
And Duan Ruoxi, who lived next door to her, looked out the window with a melancholy expression, originally thinking that when she came to Shengjing, she would be able to reunite with Qin Mingyuan, who would have thought that she would become like this.
At the same time, in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Lord Zuo Xiang finally finished his government affairs and walked into the house with a tired face.
"Your Excellency, you're back." When the family who opened the door for Anan saw Qin Mingyuan, his face was respectful, and his attitude towards Abei in the afternoon was completely different.
"Is there anything going on in the house today?" Qin Mingyuan walked into the house and asked as usual, he would ask such a question every time he went home, because someone would always come to Zuo Xiang's Mansion to avenge his grievances.
"At noon this day, a girl came to you, saying that she was your fiancée, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that she was a liar, and I drove her away." The family said with a smile as if inviting merit.
"Who did you say came to me?" Qin Mingyuan stopped and looked at Jiading with a shocked expression.
"The girl said it was your fiancée, and the villain had never heard that the adult had a fiancée, so he thought she was a liar." The more Jia Ding spoke, the quieter his voice became, because he found that Qin Mingyuan had a cold face and looked at him coldly.
"Just because I don't say it doesn't mean I don't have a fiancée?" Qin Mingyuan glared at Jiading angrily, if that person was really his fiancée, then wouldn't he miss the opportunity to meet her?
"My lord, the villain knows that he is wrong." The family apologized in a panic, regretting his self-righteousness.
"Someone." Qin Mingyuan wanted to punish him very much, but the most important thing at this time was to find Duan Ruoxi, thinking that she had worked so hard to come to Shengjing to find herself, but was turned away, how sad and sad it was.
The more I thought about him, the more painful and worried she became, she was originally a sentimental person, and she must be hiding somewhere to cry secretly at this moment.
Qin Mingyuan called the guards and asked them to go to find Duan Ruoxi, but everyone in the mansion didn't know her, so in desperation, he returned to the study and prepared to paint a portrait for them to take and look for it.
When he picked up the pen and was about to draw, he suddenly paused, and the figure that was clearly imprinted in his mind was now blurred.
He put down his pen in frustration and sat down in his chair gloomily, only then did he remember that he hadn't seen Duan Ruoxi for three years, and not only that, but even letters were rarely exchanged.
At this moment, he realized that he had unconsciously alienated her, and his usual busyness made him rarely remember her, and now he couldn't even remember what she looked like.
At this moment, he realized that he was worthy of everyone, but he was only sorry for her, sorry for this woman who had been waiting for him for three years.
Now that she is eighteen years old, their marriage contract can not be delayed any longer, it seems that she has to find a time to discuss their marriage with her family, but at this moment, the most important thing is to find Duan Ruoxi.
He stood up suddenly, opened the door of the study, and the guard standing at the door saw him come out empty-handed, and was a little puzzled.
"I'm with you in search." Qin Mingyuan said in a depressed mood, the guilt in his eyes still did not dissipate.
The guards looked at Qin Mingyuan in shock, he had always been calm and composed, he had never shown such an expression, what he did had always been worthy of his heart, but this time, he not only showed a guilty expression, but even a trace of sadness.
"My lord, let my subordinates find it." Thinking that Qin Mingyuan had been busy all day, the most important thing now was to rest, how could he let him go around again.
"You don't know what she looks like, how can you find her?" Qin Mingyuan smiled bitterly.
The guard was dumbfounded by his question, although she knew the name, she could go to the inn to look it up, but if she registered it in someone else's name, it would be difficult to find it.
In the end, Qin Mingyuan took the guards to look for him, and now it was night, and many guests had fallen asleep, so it was still very troublesome to find someone, but fortunately, when the guests knew that Qin Mingyuan was looking for someone, they were very cooperative, but despite this, it still took him a long time.
There are many houses in Shengjing Inn, even if everyone in Zuo Xiang's Mansion is called to find someone, it will take a long time, and it is getting late, so he can only temporarily go back to his home, and he can't disturb the people because of looking for someone.
So the next day, he did not deal with government affairs for the first time, but continued to look for Duan Ruoxi's whereabouts, overnight, everyone in Shengjing City knew that Zuo Xiang was looking for a girl, but because of his identity, no one dared to ask him what his relationship was with that girl.
I searched for two hours last night, and I searched for another half a day this morning, but I still found nothing, which made Qin Mingyuan very anxious, but helpless.
He didn't sleep all night last night, and he had been trying to recall Duan Ruoxi's appearance in the study, and painted countless portraits, but he felt that each portrait was not like it, so he was in a bad state this morning.
At noon, he felt that his strength was a little exhausted, so he had to go back to the house to rest for a while, and when he walked into the house and saw the family, he was angry again.
"If you can't find anyone, I won't spare you." He glared at the family member angrily, and at the same time was angry with himself, if he hadn't neglected her, why did he fall into such a field, everything today is God punishing him.
"Your Excellency spares your life." The family was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, at this time he had already repented of his intestines, Qin Mingyuan had said before, no matter who came to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, he had to be courteous, but he never listened, and now that he was punished, he deserved it.
"What makes the mild-tempered Zuo Xiang-sama so angry?" Just as he was about to reprimand a few more words, he suddenly heard a sweet voice, and he turned his head to see that it was Princess Anle.
"See the princess." He saluted Princess Anle, his face was expressionless again, and in front of outsiders, he never showed his emotions.
"How many times have I said it, don't salute outside the palace." Princess An Le looked at Qin Mingyuan coquettishly, she was originally sweet-looking, but she was extremely beautiful and moving at this time.
"Etiquette should not be abolished." Qin Mingyuan was still speaking politely, unmoved by her beauty.
Princess Anle pouted dissatisfiedly when she saw him like this, she was even more cute like this, and her every action and expression was extremely attractive.
"I heard that you have been looking for someone this morning, and you haven't even gone to the morning court, who are you looking for? In such a hurry? She wondered who could make him break the three-year rule.
"Xiaguan is looking for Xiaguan's fiancée." Qin Mingyuan has always known Princess Anle's thoughts about him, although his attitude is very clear, but Princess Anle has never given up, since this is the case, then he can only say it clearly.
"Fiancée?" Princess Anle's eyes widened in shock.
"Yes, five years ago, when Xia Guan was in his hometown, he was married, but he was busy with official business and never went back." When Qin Mingyuan said this, he showed a sad expression again, it was all his fault, which made Duan Ruo wait for three years, and finally mustered up the courage to come to him, but it was such a result.
When Princess An Le saw the expression on his face, her heart was sour, she originally thought that he only had a serious expression on his face, but she never expected that she would show a sad look for another woman, which made her unacceptable.
"It turns out that you have other expressions on your face, but the person who can make you show other expressions is someone else." Princess An Le smiled bitterly, and her heart became more and more unwilling.
"Princess, the lower official still has to look for her, and I can't accompany you." Qin Mingyuan tactfully ordered the eviction of guests, if it was usual, he would definitely not do this, but now, he is full of only Duan Ruoxi, where can he take care of her.
"You've been looking for so long and haven't found it, maybe she's already home." Princess Anle was a little angry when she saw that he didn't give herself face like this, but she was reluctant to leave.
"No, she won't leave until she sees me." Although Qin Mingyuan said that he was very firm, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, he had already sent someone to look for him on the road last night, he was not afraid of ten thousand, he was afraid of what happened, he had to make all preparations.
"I'm really curious about what kind of woman can move you so much." Princess An Le said sadly.
"Princess, the lower officials really don't have time." Qin Mingyuan really didn't have time to deal with her, so he could only offend the princess again.
"You...... Hum. The princess didn't expect him to drive herself away for the second time, glared at him angrily, and then turned to leave, even if she wanted to stay again, others treated her like this, and she didn't have the face to stay.
Qin Ming saw the princess leave, so he returned to his room, and after eating some lunch, he continued to look for it, and if he couldn't find Duan Ruo, he wouldn't be at ease.
