Chapter 243: The people are gone, and the warblers fly away

Xiao Yue has always been afraid of thunder, and in a hurry, she couldn't care about the squint of outsiders, grabbed Wen Youyou's arm, and buried her head in his arms.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yue grabbed a hand of wet water, she looked up and saw that Wen Youyou had quietly moved the umbrella to Xiao Yue's head, and half of his body was soaked.

Wen Youyou asked with distress: "What's the matter? He immediately reacted, "Are you afraid of thunder? Okay, okay, now that the thunder has passed, you won't be afraid to get in the car quickly." ”

Xiao Yue shyly pushed away Wen Youyou, and pretended to be calm and said, "Who is afraid of thunder... As soon as she finished speaking, she saw another lightning bolt in the distance, and she knew that there would be thunder again, so she hurriedly climbed into the carriage, covered her ears and waited for the thunder to roll over.

Wen Youyou was secretly amused in his heart, it was raining today, and it was inconvenient for him to ride a horse, so he also got into the carriage.

"Xiaoyue, I've known you for so long, I didn't expect there to be something you're afraid of. Wen Youyou got into the carriage, and his expressionless face softened a little.

"Hmph... What's so strange about this. Xiao Yue turned her face away, raised the car window to see if there was no lightning yet, but she didn't expect to see Yuan Chenhao standing on the top of the building from a distance, looking in their direction.

There was still the old man in white standing next to Yuan Chenhao, it seemed that they wanted to say something, but Yuan Chenhao's eyes never left the carriage where Xiao Yue was.

Xiao Yue hurriedly lowered the curtain of the car, she returned home today, and her heart was full of resentment.

"How did you talk to Your Majesty today?" Wen Youyou asked curiously.

"Not good. Satsuki sighed.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Yue told Wen Youyou all about today's conversation with Yuan Chenhao, and then said dejectedly: "Anyway, if Your Majesty doesn't agree to this matter, I have no choice." ”

Wen Youyou scratched his head and said with some puzzlement: "I think your idea is very good, I don't understand why Your Majesty disagrees." ”

Xiao Yue sighed, "Forget it, I see that Your Majesty is not in a good mood today, maybe he doesn't want to have this matter with me." ”

Wen Youyou nodded, "Then let Your Majesty think about it more, don't be so disappointed, we hand your Majesty a fold, and it is often a matter when he is beaten back." ”

Satsuki nodded, "Well, I see." ”

Wen Youyou saw a brocade box on the carriage and asked curiously, "How could that strange-tempered Yuan Wang Ye give you a gift?"

Xiao Yue saw the brocade box at this time, she took the box and opened it to take a look, there was a silver ticket of one hundred taels inside, and a very old Qingming lock.

Wen Youyou pointed to the Qingming lock and asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Yue picked up this Qingming lock and observed carefully, the wood used in this lock is dense and delicate, and the wood is fragrant, like made of peach wood, but the whole wooden lock has been played with for a long time, and the original color of the wood has changed to dark.

"This is the Qingming lock, a gadget made by Yuan Wangye himself. Xiao Yue told Wen Youyou how to unlock the Qingming lock today and how to get this hundred taels of silver.

Wen Youyou smiled and praised her for being a god of wealth, and she could earn a sum of money wherever she went.

Hearing this, Xiao Yue faintly felt that Yuan Chenhao rejected her suggestion today, which was the reason.

However, Xiaoyue feels that in this world, people come and go, bustling, all for profit, all for profit. Yuan Chenhao wants to make money on the ground, which is really difficult. Originally, the imperial court could solve this problem by building a bank on its own, but this kind of too advanced concept has great resistance, which is also a reality.

Xiao Yue thought about it for a long time and felt that her plan, under the current conditions, was already the most favorable arrangement.

Wen Youyou saw that Xiaoyue was deep in thought, so he didn't bother her, closed his eyes and took a nap.

The gates of Yingjun City are usually closed around midnight, and they hurried back to Yingjun City when the city gate was about to close.

When Xiaoyue returned home, it was already late at night, and she fell asleep after drinking a few sips of white fungus soup.

When she woke up the next day, she found that something was wrong with Yingyue Xuan.

Because she hadn't eaten well the day before, Xiaoyue woke up hungry early in the morning, and when she went to the front hall to eat, she found that there was one less person in the house.

"Yun Yan, what about Chengshuang, is she having breakfast in her room today?"

Yun Yan looked at her curiously, "Chengshuang, I wanted to ask you last night, but I didn't open my mouth because you were too tired." ”

"Ask me what?" asked Satsuki vaguely, stuffing half a bun into her mouth.

"Didn't Chengshuang go out with you? why didn't she come back with you?"

"What?Chengshuang didn't come back yesterday?" Water... Give me water... ”

Yun Yan hurriedly brought her a glass of warm water, and then patted her on the back, "Don't worry, don't worry, swallow it and talk about it." ”

Xiao Yue's choked tears were about to come out, "Chengshuang should have come back yesterday morning, she came back before me!"

Xiao Yue stood up and sat down again, "Go, call Lao Huang here, I'll ask him." ”

Yun Yan hurriedly brought Steward Huang over and asked him to call Xiao Yue back.

"Steward Huang, did anyone come to the house at noon yesterday?"

Steward Huang thought for a while and said, "No one passed in front of the house yesterday morning, and at noon, I seemed to hear someone talking at the entrance of the alley, but I haven't seen anyone pass by the door. ”

Satsuki was angry, she got up and paced back and forth in the room.

"What the hell is this surnamed Chen doing?" As she walked, she found that the soles of her feet began to ache faintly again, and she had a plan.

"Steward Huang, you go to the Holy Hand Hall to ask Dr. Chen to help me see my illness, and it is best to invite the young Dr. Chen. ”

Steward Huang was surprised and asked, "Where is Childe uncomfortable?"

Yun Yan was also full of worries, "I haven't taken medicine in the past few days, do you think it's not good there?"

Xiao Yue raised her foot and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that there is a wooden thorn on the bottom of my foot, just let him help me heal it." ”

Steward Huang nodded, and went out to ask Xiaoyue for a doctor.

Yun Yan asked puzzledly, "Didn't Childe just ask about Miss Chengshuang's whereabouts? Why did you suddenly ask Steward Huang to go to the Holy Hand Hall to ask for a doctor?"

Xiao Yue said angrily: "I suspect that the Chen family has abducted people, I want to ask them for clarification." ”

"Huh?" Yun Yan covered her mouth in surprise.

Satsuki ignored her surprise and walked to the back garden, then went to Chengshuang's house to check it out, and found that there was nothing out of the ordinary.

She looked at the wall between her mansion and King Mu's mansion, and thought to herself that Chengshuang's disappearance was either related to Chen Qiwen or to her masked brother.

"Yun Yan, let Ah Niu get me a ladder. ”
