Chapter 379: Not an Inch Away
Xiao Qian had just returned home, and he met those people who were looking for Mu Xiaoxiao outside the gate.
He looked at the guards and asked puzzledly, "Why are the people in the mansion outside at this time, and their expressions should not be lounging." β
Of course, the guards didn't know what was going on, so they said to Xiao Qian, "My lord, go down and ask." β
"What are you doing?" The guard walked over and asked.
Seeing the guards, the servants knew that Xiao Qian had returned, and one of the servants hurriedly said: "The little lady is gone, and the housekeeper asked us to come out to look for her, but after searching everywhere, we still can't see her." β
"Little Miss is missing?" The guard knew that things were coming again, and he was by Xiao Qian's side every day, of course he knew Mu Xiaoxiao's position in Xiao Qian's heart.
"Yes, the adults are back, so what should I do?"
"Tell the truth, of course!" After speaking, the guard quickly turned around.
Coming to the front of the sedan chair, the guard said to Xiao Qian: "My lord, my subordinates have asked just now, and the little lady is missing, so everyone is looking for it, but they haven't found it." β
Hearing this, Xiao Qian frowned, yesterday's incident made him palpitate, if he hadn't come back in time, Mu Xiaoxiao might have died.
Today is because an important person asked him to meet, and it is inconvenient to take Mu Xiaoxiao out, otherwise she will not be left behind. Unexpectedly, something happened, so he hurriedly got off the sedan chair.
Xiao Qian walked into the door, and the housekeeper and others hurriedly greeted him, "See your lord!" β
Staring at the person in front of him, Xiao Qian was extremely angry, "What did you do, you actually lost Xiaoxiao again!" β
He usually doesn't smile inhibitively, but now he is angry, which makes people feel even more terrifying, and those people don't dare to come out.
The housekeeper stubbornly said: "Back to the adult, the old slave arranged a month of rest and let Xiaoyu take care of the little lady, and today Xiaoyu told the old slave that the little miss is gone." After that, we searched with all our might, but we couldn't find it. The old slave was also puzzled, why did the little lady leave suddenly? β
"It's not because I'm not comfortable here, otherwise I wouldn't have left! Xiao Qian was extremely angry, and suddenly thought of a more serious problem.
He asked solemnly, "Is there any suspicious person appearing today?" Could it be that the little lady is in trouble? β
The butler shook his head, "No one came to report the appearance of suspicious people today. Besides, Xiaoyu said that Miss Xiao did not perform differently. β
He motioned for Xiaoyu to step forward, and Xiaoyu walked over gently, he was already afraid of Xiao Qian's majesty, but now that there was a problem with his work, he was even more afraid.
But they all have to be faced, she still stepped forward and said, "My lord, the slave maid cooks food for the little lady like January, and the little lady doesn't seem to have a good appetite, so she just eats a little bit and doesn't eat." Then she lay down on the bed and rested, and the slave and maid quietly departed. The slave doesn't know why the young lady is gone, so please forgive me. β
"If there is anything wrong with the little lady, the official will not be spared! Have you ever seen someone bullying elementary school students? Think you can too? Xiao Qian was extremely angry, and he was even more angry when he thought of what Nan Zixi had done yesterday.
Xiaoyu was frightened, of course she knew what Xiao Qian meant. Nan Zixi dealt with the little fox, that was her ability, how could she have that capital, and there was no reason to say it!
"No, my lord, you don't have to do it, and you will never dare to do anything rebellious. It is an honor for the slave maid to have the opportunity to serve the little lady today. The slave maid also wants to serve the little lady well, and such a thing happened really beyond the slave's expectations, otherwise the slave would have told the housekeeper earlier. β
"You don't have the courage to do that, unless you have someone behind your back. Everyone here should be clear-headed, don't be taken advantage of, if someone uses the repaired person to do anything that shouldn't be done, this official will not be lenient. β
"The slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid really don't dare, please be aware of it."
The housekeeper also said softly: "My lord, this girl has been in the Xiao Mansion for several years, and she has always been obedient and diligent, so the old slave will give him the task of taking care of the little lady this time." For unfamiliar slaves and maids, the old slaves will not hand over the little lady to them to take care of. β
"This maid is usually very serious in her work, and she is also more clever. But I didn't expect such a thing to happen, the old slave is guilty, please forgive me. β
"No matter how smart and diligent a person is, if she can't take care of her from the perspective of the little lady, then she will definitely not be satisfied, so it is possible to leave. What's the use of punishing you now, hurry up and find it, if you can't find the little lady or the little miss, if there is anything, I will let each of you be buried with you. β
Xiao Qian roared, although he usually didn't smile or smile, he wouldn't lose his temper with his subordinates easily. Seeing him like this, everyone was very scared. If you really can't find the little fox, then everyone here is having a hard time, there is no doubt about it.
Everyone hurriedly scattered to look for it, Xiao Qian felt extremely upset and returned to the study. Sometimes when he comes back, he will see Mu Xiaoxiao's figure here, of course he doesn't know that Mu Xiaoxiao wants to come here to find clues, he just likes to have Mu Xiaoxiao's days.
But now that the room was empty and there was no little fox, Xiao Qian couldn't help but blame himself.
"Xiaoxiao, are you angry and think I don't have the ability to protect you?" He couldn't help but sigh.
But the little fox didn't know where he was, and couldn't hear or answer his question. Nan Zixi likes himself, of course Xiao Qian knows this, he has always thought that as long as he ignores this woman, he will stop.
After all, the princess is not young, maybe she is just trying to be fresh for a while, and after a while, she may tend to calm down. But now it seems a little too naΓ―ve. The princess had been chasing her for some time, but instead of abating, it had become more and more serious.
Xiao Qian used to think it wasn't a big deal, who did he like to follow whom? It's your right, but now the princess's love has hurt the people around her. This made him a little disgusted, if Mu Xiaoxiao was injured because of him, then he would definitely blame himself and would not forgive himself.
He didn't want to refuse Nan Zixi at this time, because that would make the court ministers speculate wildly. Stability and unity were now of paramount importance to the imperial court.
Those ministers all have their own ghosts, each with their own wishful thinking, and unity is very impossible. We can only do our best not to let anything big happen to the imperial court and maintain stability, so that the common people will not suffer too much, and the situation will not be so turbulent.
