Come down the mountain, Su's father and Su's mother are waiting there. Su's mother was afraid that her daughter would bump into something, so she asked carefully before she put her mind at ease.

The family got in the car and headed back to the city. Father Su asked, "How is it, daughter?" Can you get to the top of the mountain? ”

Su Yingxue had no choice but to tell the lie she had made up in advance, and with her real regret, she said that she had listened to Father Su.

Su's father originally thought that with his daughter's thoughts, he would not come down until he reached the top of the mountain anyway, but when he heard her say that, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and it could be seen that the regretful look on her face also believed eight or nine points.

It was getting dark, and no one noticed that someone was quietly following them.

In the next few days, Su's father and mother were busy visiting friends in business who had made good friends with Sufu. Su Yingxue spent her time in the flower garden all day long.

said that on this day, Su Yingxue was asking Wen Xin and Xiulian about the things in the flower garden these days, and the maid Yun'er came to the outside of the flower garden to deliver a message, saying that Aunt Sun had something to find Mrs., but Mrs. was not there, so please make a decision.

"Is it Aunt Sun who received a business envoy a few days ago?"

"Yes."

This Aunt Sun is the mother-in-law who was arranged by Mother Su to accompany Ziyan to Kyoto, and she has only been gone for four or five days, so why did she come back? Isn't something wrong?

Su Yingxue was worried, and hurriedly took Caiyun and Yuqing to Haitang Garden. While instructing Yun'er to send someone to inquire when the old lady would come back.

Aunt Sun saw Su Yingxue and hurriedly knelt down to salute, and Su Yingxue asked Caiyun to help her up.

"Girl, Madame ordered the old slave and his wife to send the girl to Kyoto, but halfway through, the girl stopped letting us go with her and sent the old slave back. The old slave persuaded her, after all, she was a girl's family, and it was not safe to be alone, so she not only didn't listen to a few words of persuasion, but also scolded the old slave for being nosy. ”

When Su Yingxue heard this, she was strange in her heart, the person was requested by Ziyan, and looking at her situation, she didn't look like a person who could dare to go on the road alone. Something is wrong. He asked, "Have you met anyone along the way?" ”

Aunt Sun replied: "We have been safe all the way, and we have never met anyone. However, Madame had told the old slave that she must pay attention to the Purple Smoke Girl, saying that she might do something unfavorable to Su Fu. So when we were on our way, we snuck back to the inn. The Purple Smoke Girl stayed in the inn until the evening, when a carriage stopped in front of the inn, and a young man took the Purple Smoke Girl into the carriage and left not long after entering the inn. The two of us really couldn't keep up, so we lost it. The old slave hurried back overnight, and if the girl could send someone to inquire quickly, she might be able to find her. ”

Su Yingxue knew that her mother was worried about the things in the flower garden, so she hurriedly called the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was ordered to quickly send a few more people to look for Ziyan, and here he hurriedly asked Su's father and Su's mother to return to the house. After thinking about it, I felt that I had to ask Qin Ziqing for help in this matter. Knowing the secrets of Su Mansion and being able to find someone to go out to find someone, she could only look for him.

Liu Yuhe, the housekeeper of the Su Mansion, has always been a steady and proper person, but after a while, he has already found a map and ordered several young nurses to divide into several routes to find people, and set a contact location. While flying pigeons to send books to shops all over Suzhou Province to assist in the search for people.

Not long after the people here, Su's father and Su's mother also rushed back.

Su's father was not too worried when he learned that his daughter had ordered someone to find her, but Su's mother sighed: "I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place." ”

Su Yingxue persuaded: "Mother doesn't have to be like this, our Su family has always been generous, how could my mother punish her heavily." Moreover, it is not known what the situation is today. ”

Father Su asked, "Xue'er, how much does this girl know about the things in your flower garden?" If she really does the thing of selling for glory, she will have a great impact on the flowers and plants that we are planting and selling outside? ”

Su Yingxue said: "Daddy, this flower and grass cultivation is a long-term thing, and the cultivation of a new flower seed cannot be completed in a few months. It can be as little as one or two years, or as many as four or five years. If she had given the way we had cultivated new flowers to others, the impact on our business would have happened two years later. Moreover, this cultivation is very strict, and if one link is not taken into account, it will fail. Purple smoke is not that patient. So I don't think it will affect us too much. I'm afraid that if I meet someone who is patient, if I study carefully according to what Ziyan knows, within five years, I will be able to compete with our Su family. ”

Father Su said: "In this way, we don't have any good countermeasures at the moment? ”

Su Yingxue shook her head. They didn't have anything else they could do other than find Purple Smoke and monitor her movements.

While they were discussing, Qin Ziqing arrived.

Father Su told Qin Ziqing about the general situation, and Qin Ziqing said: "Uncle don't worry, my nephew will ask someone to help find someone." With that, he gave a salute and strode out.

When he arrived at the door, he secretly glanced at Su Yingxue.

Qin Ziqing went out of the Su Mansion and went straight to Dong Ling. It was too late for him to know that there were both people and money. has been a rich child for more than ten years, and now I understand this truth. Something happened, and he had to ask Dong Ling for help every time.

When Qin Ziqing saw Dong Ling, he couldn't tell him everything. It was said that one of the original maids in Sufu made a mistake, but the master thought of her good life and sent someone to send her to Kyoto to find relatives. But halfway through, she sent someone who accompanied her, and secretly got into a carriage and left.

As soon as Dong Ling heard this, he knew that Qin Ziqing had not told him the truth. But there are always a few secrets that people don't want to be known, so they don't ask for them. After asking the maid's name, age, appearance, etc., he ordered someone to look for it.

After searching for three or five days like this, the purple smoke seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no trace could be found.

Dong Ling thinks that he has some means, but the people who went to look for him have come back one by one, and there are no clues at all, which is really strange.

It just so happened that Qin Ziqing came to ask again, and Dong Ling said: "In my opinion, I can't search for so many people, there are only two possibilities. The first is that the person is already dead, but there are traces of the cremation of the corpse, so the second possibility is more likely. ”

Qin Ziqing said impatiently: "What about the second one?" ”

Dong Ling didn't say a word, just looked at him and smiled.

Qin Ziqing frowned: "What are you looking at me for?" I don't have any clues. ”

Dong Ling patted Qin Ziqing on the shoulder and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I knew that things weren't so simple when you came to tell me about it on the first day." A maid who was kicked out of the house by his master is also worth looking for so much? There must be some secret in her, isn't she? ”
