56. Rumors

Minna ran around like a headless fly, and Xiao Tianjian finally caught up with her and stopped, "What are you running?" We should go back and ask your mom for clarification! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, his son was doing serious things, even if he hid something from his daughter-in-law, it was because he abided by the rules of the Security Administration, how could his daughter-in-law go out of the wall? Even if he really wants to remarry someone else, at least he should divorce his son first, right?

Minna panicked, as if something was blocking her chest, and she was so sore that she wanted to dig it out. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, since she had left the Magic Capital and returned to Ito after the New Year, she hadn't seen her mother for more than half a year. Moreover, my mother had a letter except for the first two months, and then cut off contact. It wasn't like this before, my mother would come to see her every three or four months at most, and there would be a letter every ten days and eight days, but now it's like this, and my mother didn't refuse that man, does she really not want herself and her father?

Like Grandpa said, go ask clearly? Minna wanted to go, but was scared, what if her mother's answer was that she really wanted to marry someone else? She happily walked so far to find her mother for the sake of family reunion, and she didn't want her mother to be someone else's wife!

Xiao Tianjian looked at his little granddaughter grinding there because of gains and losses, and was a little impatient: "If you are afraid that if you ask your mother directly, you will get an answer that you don't want to hear, then just ask someone else, that is a traitor...... Ahem, if your mother really gets along with other men, there will always be rumors. ”

Minna bit her lip, nodded in agreement, and then followed her grandfather to find someone to inquire.

They first found two maids of the Jufa family nearby, who seemed to have just returned from buying vegetables from outside. Xiao Tianjian claimed to be a relative of the Zhu Fa family, and heard that his family's daughter had a close relationship with a certain aristocratic son, and was worried about whether to prepare a wedding gift, so he asked them about the truth of the rumors.

When one of the maids heard this, she immediately covered her blushing face: "Oh, you must be referring to Young Master Chulov." We're looking forward to it. Young Master Chulov was a handsome gentleman, and very rich, and personable, gentle and considerate, so kind to all of us...... Last year, when the old man fell ill, and when the business bank had an accident this spring, if it wasn't for his great help, I don't know what would have happened. If only Miss Dora could marry him. ”

Another maid chimed in, "Isn't it? He is much better than the current uncle, I heard that the aunt is a boring martial artist, uneducated and illegitimate child, married to a good wife like Miss Dora, and actually has an ambiguous relationship with other women, and does not care about the master, which makes Miss Dora often sad in private, and the master is also very angry. How can such a person be worthy of our Miss Dora?! ”

"Yes, that's right. Hey, have you heard? Just now, someone saw Young Master Chulov proposing to Miss, and Miss will agree......"

The two maids seemed to be addicted, you and I chatted happily one by one, the smile on Xiao Tianjian's face was about to be hung up, and Minna stared at them fiercely, gritting her teeth.

Her father is not a boring and uneducated martial artist! These two women are just nonsense!

However, the people in the neighborhood who were willing to answer their questions basically thought so, and it seemed that the young master of the Chulov family had a good reputation in this area. Xiao Tianjian watched his little granddaughter's face become more and more pale, and angrily stopped inquiring, and led her to break into the branch of the Xiao family firm in the port of Matt, but avoided the shipping company that was connected to the Chulov family.

All along, he has relied on branches and stores stationed in various parts of the mainland to spy on the news, and his daughter-in-law has a close relationship with other men, and the people in the Port Matt branch actually didn't report it to him? How unreasonable!

The manager of the branch secretly complained, his father and brothers were in a shipping company, and the Chulov family was equivalent to half of his boss, how could he take the initiative to tell the truth? Unless you don't want to mix it up.

When An Long deliberately targeted the Xiao family firm, he let go of the people on the side of Matterport, but this steward also had brothers and nephews in other branches, and when the people in the entire firm were dissatisfied with the second young master An Long, if he didn't alienate An Long, then it would be him who would be alienated. Under such circumstances, in order to make a stand, he could only step up his attack on the Zhu Fa family's firm, and only later did he stop for the sake of the young master of the Chulov family. He was afraid of An Long's side, how could he take the initiative to meddle in the conflict between other couples?

However, when the boss asked, he couldn't help but answer, so he had to pick up something that everyone knew and said: "I haven't heard that the second young lady is going to remarry, but that young master Chulov, I heard that three years ago his family had arranged a good position for him in Ito, he actually gave up and went to the tax office of Port Matter, a small secretary, which made his whole family angry half to death. Some people say that he did it for the second young lady. I don't know if it's true or not, but he did visit Zhu Fa's house often, and he became a close friend of His Excellency the Viscount. ”

Xiao Tianjian gritted his teeth secretly, that kid knew that he would take the parental route, and it didn't seem to be a simple little white face.

The manager glanced at him secretly, and continued: "Speaking of which, don't be angry, the second young master is too undecent, everyone in the business house is talking, he and Miss Veronica are always entangled, never come to Matt to pick up the second young lady, the second young lady took the initiative to go to Ito, and he was driven back every time." He also associated with the Heddah family...... Ahem, anyway...... It seems that the second young master also has the intention of divorce, and it is normal for the second young lady to have a lover, ......"

"You talk nonsense!" Minna scolded and kicked him in the shin, "My dad is not that kind of person!" The manager had been paying attention to Xiao Tianjian's reaction, but he didn't pay attention to Minna, this kick happened to hit one by one, grinning in pain, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of the big boss.

The more Minna thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, she had already planned to go home, it was her father who went to the magical capital to tell her to stay there and go to school, but the next day he left, and never showed up again, although there were letters, but each letter was written very short. Dad left with that Aunt Veronica in the first place, and he repeatedly said that he would not leave him and his mother, but he always broke the contract.

I remember that at that time, my mother often quarreled about my father and Veronica, but when we met in the past two years, she actually stopped complaining, and when Winnie counted down her father, she still helped to say good things, isn't she angry anymore?

Minna couldn't help but think of Luba's quarrel with Wise, and when she went to persuade him, Luba said: "It's because you love him that you get angry with him, otherwise you won't pay attention to him." ”

Isn't Mom no longer angry because she doesn't love Dad anymore?

Dad never came to pick up Mom back, and asked himself to go to school in a foreign country, is it to be with Aunt Veronica?

Her mind was a mess, and she only felt more sad in her heart, as if she had seen her parents break up, leaving her alone. She couldn't help but scream, and when she came to her senses, she realized that she had run to a strange place, and the pedestrians around her were looking at her strangely.

"What's the use of you running around like this? What if I get lost and call my grandfather? Xiao Tianjian's voice came from behind him. Minna turned her head, tears streaming down her face.

Xiao Tianjian hurriedly came over to help her wipe her face, and comforted her while pulling her away: "It's okay, it's okay, even if your mother really marries someone else, she is still your mother!" Besides, your father will not leave you, and your grandfather will be by your side. After thinking about it, he decided to reveal a little bit of tone, so he whispered: "Don't worry, your father will soon finish his work and come to Port Matt to pick up your mother in person, and then you can be reunited as a family, and no one will want to break you up." "Of course, if it's too late, then Dora is not blessed, and he will find another good wife for his son.

"I don't believe it! Mom and Dad are badass! Minna sobbed and cried faintly.

Xiao Tianjian watched her cry helplessly, and turned his head to look at the scenery. I don't know how long it took, the little girl was finally tired of crying, and he turned his head back: "Finished crying?" See what you've become? Big Flower Cat! ”

Minna flattened her mouth, let her grandfather wipe her face, and suddenly said: "Let's go find a boat, I won't go to my grandfather's house." "Grandpa doesn't like her father, so she doesn't want to go.

Xiao Tianjian was stunned, and he was troubled for a long time before he nodded.

The grandfather and grandson returned to the port, however, there were thousands of ships here, and it was not easy to find a few ships with some kind of marking. Xiao Tianjian drew the pattern according to his memory, and then took it to the dock to ask someone, and finally found the boat company to which the compatriot was riding, and found that about five or six days ago, this boat company lost two small boats in Camica.

"Two?" Xiao Tianjian was a little stunned, why did he steal two ships by himself? "Where did you lose it?"

"On the edge of the quays in the city of Kamecca, my men only went ashore in the evening to cook on the fire, but when they turned around, they could no longer see the ship, and it was not until four days ago that the thief who stole the ship was found, and one was recovered, but the other was nowhere to be seen." The ship's owner said.

Xiao Tianjian's eyes widened: "Found the thief?!" "Four days...... The dead crossing companion died after being rescued, and counting the time, and the boat ride from Cameca to the mainland, it seems that there is not enough time, can it be said that there is ......

"Ah, it's a young girl." The shipkeeper tapped his pipe and poured out a few puffs of ash, "Pitifully said that she was just a momentary fool, and begged us not to embarrass her." As for the other boat, it was rowed away by someone else, and she didn't know about it. I don't think she's in a good situation, and I didn't do anything to her, but I just took a few pieces of jewelry from her. He carried it up to the man who was walking through the door: "It's the ones my sister is wearing now." ”

Minna hurriedly turned her head to look, only to see a woman in her thirties walking in, wearing a low-cut dark green velvet dress, a pink necklace hanging from her chest, and a set of earrings, all with lace bows, small pearls and pink crystal roses, and several thin silver chains hanging down long.

The jewelry is very beautiful, but it is not suitable for middle-aged women to wear at all, pink necklace earrings lined with green skirts, how weird it looks, this woman's aesthetic is so strange.

Xiao Tianjian's mood at the moment was extremely excited, it was clearly Korean-style decorative jewelry, and before he wore it, young girls were wearing this thing.

The shipowner's sister saw that two of her brother's guests were staring at her jewelry, raised her chin haughtily, walked straight into another room, and slammed the door shut.

Xiao Tianjian took a deep breath and smiled at the owner of the ship: "Can you tell us about that girl?" Where did she settle down? What does it look like? ”

When he asked all the information and walked out of the ship, Minna suddenly asked, "Grandpa, are you going to Camica?" "Grandpa seems to be very concerned about that girl's business.

Xiao Tianjian nodded.

So she thought about it for a moment, and said, "I'm going with you too, I haven't been to Kamecca yet." "She didn't want to be left alone.

Xiao Tianjian thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay, if you go back to Camica, you will almost have visited the whole continent." For your age, it's quite remarkable, and your brother Beiwen is only going back and forth between Shaonan and East, and he doesn't go as much as you go. ”

Minna was also a little proud when she heard this: "Of course, if I can go back to Fan'a, I will really go all over the continent." ”

"What are you doing there?" Xiao Tianjian has never had a good impression of the Bright God Sect, "I think it is the center of the continent, the country of God, I look down on others, I said that my saliva was dry, they still refused to open the passage for my caravan to pass through their country, saying that it was against God's will, and pretended to put on a compassionate posture, persuading me that if I have money, I should do more good deeds, except for praying and asking for money all day long, I don't do anything serious, and I also advise this side not to fight, and persuade that there to obey the rules, in fact, no one knows how bad they are in their bones!" ”

He stared at his little granddaughter, and said: "Minna, I remember that when I see the people of the Temple of Light in the future, I can run as far as I can, those people say that they are doing good deeds, adopting orphans, and appeasing the elderly, but in fact, I don't know how many people's property and how many children have been harmed behind their backs." "In the world over there, child molestation by clergy is a common news, and the clergy here are not much stronger.

Minna was about to refute her grandfather with her mother's words, but she thought that her mother, who believed in the Cult of Light, was betraying the family, and she secretly hated it in her heart, so she didn't say anything more.

Xiao Tianjian's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but think of what he had overheard in Normonka before, the "open passage" that the mysterious accomplice said, was it something similar to Shangdao? What do those people want to do in Van A'a? At the beginning, because of the turmoil in the situation of Noga, he had to give up that clue, and then sneaked back but couldn't find the housekeeper. Because the elven forest had been completely closed, and no one was going there anymore, no matter what the outcome of this matter was, it would not affect the elves, so he didn't pursue it any further. At this moment, he had a new idea, so he thought that when the matter was over, he might as well check it out.

Thinking about it, they had already come to the front of You Tan's boat, Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to greet: "Old You ......" but was stopped by the other party in a hurry, and the ancestors and grandchildren were dragged into the house together, both of which were a little inexplicable. Xiao Tianjian asked, "Lao You, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Shh Yutan glanced out and quickly retracted, "The one outside is Wood's men, and they have two boats here, too. ”

Xiao Tianjian glanced at it, and saw a man with earthy yellow hair passing by the door, and pouted: "What are they afraid of?" You don't owe them money. ”

Yutan only smiled bitterly: "Now I really don't owe them money, because you are in trouble." You forgot? You offended the fat man by rescuing him from them last night, not to mention that you did something else. ”

"Ah, you mean that, right?" Xiao Tianjian smiled evilly and took out a huge aqua blue gem from the ring. Minna's eyes lit up: "It's so beautiful!" Grandpa, this is a water-based magic crystal, right? It's big enough for me to use for a long time. ”

Xiao Tianjian smiled and stuffed the gem into her hand: "It's just for you to get this little thing, put it away." Minna happily put it in the storage bracelet and thanked her grandfather sweetly, and the depression just now was almost swept away.

Yutan's wry smile was even more bitter: "You are really ...... This is supposed to be something that Wood intends to pay tribute to the royal palace on the National Day, and the current queen Lorna is a water magician. Such a large piece of spar can't be bought without one or two thousand gold coins, and Wood probably won't let it go easily. ”

"Afraid of what?" Xiao Tianjian was never worried, "I didn't leave any traces when I saved people, and that fat man was also sent away by me, how would Wood know that I did it?" Even if you know, there is no evidence. He knocked me out of 7,500 gold coins, and I only needed him a spare, which was cheaper for him. Don't say you don't know he meant to befriend you. ”

You Tan looked helpless: "How could you not know?" He has wanted my fleet and shop for a long time, what is the interest of a few hundred gold coins? Although I am not from this country, I have been in business for decades and have many friends, but in Manado, no one buys my goods, and no one dares to lend me money. He's too powerful for me to resist, and if it weren't for your help, my fleet and shop wouldn't be able to keep it. After a pause, a smile appeared on his face: "Forget it, just sell Manado's shop to him, I don't do business in the hinterland, I am only responsible for selling the goods here to other trading houses, making a little less, but it is much easier, and I can go home more often to accompany my children when I have time." ”

Xiao Tianjian patted him on the shoulder: "Then my firm will be the first to buy your goods." The two looked at each other and smiled, and Minna was happy next to her.

Xiao Tianjian told Yu Tan about wanting to borrow a boat to go to Camica, and the latter said, "What to borrow?" I'll go back tomorrow, and you guys can come along. I just received a payment for the goods today, and if you take it, it will be the first money I have paid. ”

Xiao Tianjian hurriedly pushed the way, and the two began to fight each other, Minna looked amused, but the three of them didn't notice that on the corner of the street, there was a man with earthy yellow hair staring at them, squinting.

(Why does the collection keep dropping for the past two days?) I just got a phone call and I'm sorry for the delay. )
