Chapter 128: No Return One Night
The old bustard pouted: "You ask him, the girl came in less than a quarter of an hour, and less than half a quarter later, the master you are looking for also came, and we don't know what happened next."
The bustard thought for a moment, "Could it be that the master you are looking for took her away?"
Fan Chen looked at Bai Ziheng, he was basically awake now, he was not in a hurry to find someone, he should know Zhao Qianqian's whereabouts, and less than half an hour after he came in, Shen Junchen also came, it must have been Shen Junchen who took people away.
Fan Chen's face turned cold, and his eyes glanced at the old bustard coldly: "If something happens to that girl, don't think about opening this shop again."
Fan Chen has never spoken harshly to people, and he has done a decent job, which is quite deterrent.
Seeing that he was dressed luxuriously, the old bustard really didn't dare to bet that he wouldn't dare, she said stupidly: "I can't keep an eye on her here, I don't care if she leaves or stays?"
Having said that, she was really afraid that Fan Chen would pull her to ask for someone, so she pushed the girl standing there and ran faster than a ghost.
Fan Chen looked at Bai Ziheng, who was stunned, and took off his cloak and put it on him: "Let's go, get out of here first."
Fan Chen took the person directly back to Fan Mansion.
Bai Ziheng was completely awake after taking a hot bath, and the people in the house took him to the courtyard of mortal dust.
Fan Chen was sitting at the dining table, tapping lightly on the table with two fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Young Master, Bai Gongzi is here." The servant stood at the door and called.
"Please let him in." Fan Chen didn't get up, but turned his head to look at the door.
Bai Ziheng wore plain white clothes, which belonged to Fanchen, he was about the same size as Fanchen, and he fit very well.
Bai Ziheng walked in, completely dejected from his previous depression, Fan Chen hooked his lips: "It looks fine, let's sit down and eat first."
Fanchen put a bowl of soup in front of him: "Drink a bowl of decanting soup first."
In fact, Bai Ziheng was already sober, but he did not refuse, he took the decanting soup and drank it in one gulp.
Fan Chen sandwiched a piece of braised fish and put it in Bai Ziheng's bowl: "Come, eat."
Fan Chen remembered that when he went in, he saw that the food on the table was almost untouched, thinking that he should not have eaten much.
"Gongzi Xie Fan, I'm bothering." Bai Ziheng was not hypocritical, as if nothing had happened, he sucked and ate.
Neither of them mentioned anything about Yihongyuan, and neither of them spoke.
Halfway through the meal, Bai Ziheng opened his mouth first: "Is Fan Gongzi free tomorrow? I want to buy some things, but I've been delayed here for a while, and now that the Chinese New Year is coming, I have to rush back to Dongjun before the New Year."
Fan Chen glanced up at him, "I didn't hear you mention that you were going back to China before, why do you suddenly want to go back."
Bai Ziheng put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "The things I bought last month, I ordered someone to transport them back to Dongjunguo, and I received a letter from home yesterday, saying that the things were sold out as soon as they arrived, and many customers paid a deposit to deliver them before the year, so the time is a little tight, and it will be done tomorrow, and it will leave the day after tomorrow."
The letter from home is true, and the content is correct, but he didn't plan to leave immediately, he was waiting, and he wouldn't leave until he waited.
Fan Chen got up: "There is time, then let's go to the study and talk."
said it was talking, but in fact, it was placing an order, and the two talked in the study for half an hour.
Fan Chen took the two written order lists and handed them to Bai Ziheng: "Bai Gongzi, let's see what may be missing."
Bai Ziheng took the order list and read it carefully, pointing to the page of ingredients: "This fried chestnut, fried walnut and salt-baked peanuts are doubled."
Fan Chen hesitated: "It will take at least a month to get from Qingyun City to Dongjun Kingdom, and the fried things can't be put away for so long, and these things will not taste so good when they come back, and they taste the best when they just come out of the pot, and I'll ask Qianqian to see if she has any other way."
Bai Ziheng thought for a while: "It's okay, I'm going to leave Qingyun City the day after tomorrow, I want to meet the second master and Miss Zhao before leaving, can you make an appointment for me?"
Fanchen pondered for a moment: "Okay, I'll go find them tomorrow
It's up to you when and where you decide."
Bai Ziheng smiled bitterly: "If you promise so quickly, aren't you afraid that this kind of thing will happen tonight?"
Fan Chen smiled faintly: "I have known Bai Gongzi for more than a month, I believe in Bai Gongzi's character, tonight's incident, presumably you are also a victim."
When Bai Ziheng heard this, he got up and bowed to Fan Chen: "Thank you for your trust, if Fan Gongzi doesn't mind, just call me Ziheng, you are two years older than me, treat me like a brother these days, can I be called a big brother?"
Fan Chen never cares about the number of etiquette, and he hates those red tape and etiquette the most.
Fan Chen poured himself a cup of tea, and put the teapot in the middle of the desk: "Okay, you can call it whatever you want, you can call me by my name, but don't call me old."
Bai Ziheng couldn't help laughing: "Big brother can also call you old, okay, then I will call you by your name in the future."
People who knew him, three-year-olds also called him by his name, and he didn't care.
The two were talking and laughing, and when they heard the sound of "dong dong", it was already the second watch.
Bai Ziheng put down the teacup and looked at Fan Chen: "You don't ask about tonight, and you don't ask where Miss Zhao went?"
Fan Chen smiled faintly: "You have stayed for so long, it should be for her, you should be more concerned about her safety than me, you are not in a hurry, presumably she was taken away by an acquaintance, and the person who took her away should be Shen Junchen, right?"
Bai Ziheng smiled bitterly: "Yes, but you must pay attention to the flowers, this person can't stay with Miss Zhao."
Fan Chen frowned: "Could it be that tonight's incident has something to do with flowers?"
Bai Ziheng's face turned cold, and his eyes shone slightly: "It was all arranged by her, and I blame me for falling in her way."
Fan Chen was puzzled: "Flowers have drugged you?"
Bai Ziheng shook his head: "I don't know if she gave the drug, she said that we met."
Bai Ziheng told him what the flowers told him.
It turned out that Fanhua told Bai Ziheng that Zhao Qianqian was forced to marry a mountain bandit, saying that she had a way to let Zhao Qianqian follow him out of Qingyun City, and what to do was to wait for her news.
In the evening, Bai Ziheng received a letter saying that Zhao Qianqian was waiting for him in Yihong Courtyard, and the specific room number was written on the letter.
"Actually, when I went, Miss Zhao had been waiting in the room for a while, and as soon as I sat down, a young lady from Yihong Courtyard served a pot of wine, and Miss Zhao said that she couldn't drink, and Xiao Er said that it was kiwi fruit stuffed, not intoxicating."
Bai Ziheng paused for a moment when he said this.
"And then?" Fan Chen asked.
Bai Ziheng was depressed, and he recalled what happened at that time.
Zhao Qianqian heard that it was kiwi fruit brewing, so he picked up the wine jar and smelled it: "Yes, this is our fruit brewing.
She poured a cup for Bai Ziheng herself, and then poured a glass for herself, and the two of them raised their glasses and drank freely, and they didn't know when the shopkeeper left.
The two of them were eating vegetables and drinking kiwifruit stuffed, and Bai Ziheng found that Zhao Qianqian's cheeks began to redden.
He thought that the window was not opened, and that the meal was a little hot, so he got up and went to open the window.
"Strange why I feel a little hot and thirsty." Zhao Qianqian said and pulled his collar.
Bai Ziheng also began to feel a little hot, he picked up the fruit brewing jar and looked at it, "Could it be that this thing is intoxicating? Why didn't you feel it when you drank it before?"
Zhao Qianqian replied vaguely: "Maybe it's fermented, the concentration of the wine is high, I can't drink, I'll get drunk as soon as I drink it, no, it's too hot, I want to take off my clothes, you turn around."
"Oh." Bai Ziheng turned around.
And he is actually very hot, and he feels that there are thousands of ants crawling in his heart, which is very uncomfortable.
He also took off one piece, and as if he couldn't solve the problem, he took off another one.
At this time, Shen Junchen came in, saw that both of them were undressing, stood in front of him and were stunned for a moment, then shook his hand and gave him a slap, walked past him, picked up Zhao Qianqian and left.
When Bai Ziheng said this, he rubbed his eyebrows: "I think, Yi."
The people in the Red Courtyard won't give us medicine, so the only possible one is the person who booked a room for us, and only Fanhua came to me in the morning and said that he would help me take Miss Zhao away."
Fan Chen frowned, "So, do you suspect that Fanhua drugged you?"
Bai Ziheng sighed, "Although there is no conclusive evidence, she heard the conversation between me and Miss Zhao in the morning. The only people who know my thoughts are Miss Zhao and the second master and her, and among the three of them, Miss Zhao is the victim, the second master will definitely not do this, the only possible one is her."
In this way, Fanhua is the most suspicious, and Fan Chen does not suspect him.
Bai Ziheng stood up: "It's not too early, I should go back too, thank you for today's events, Bai Mou remembered it in his heart."
Early the next morning, Chengshuang was still cooking breakfast in the stove house.
As soon as Ye Qianfan came out of the room, he heard a knock on the door.
He was about to open the door when Xiao Chaoyang ran over, "I'll come."
Ye Qianfan didn't fight with her, and flashed to the side.
Xiao Chaoyang walked to the door and didn't rush to open the door, she asked at the door, "Who?"
After a pause, there was no response outside, Xiao Chaoyang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "No one, it should be a mistake."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.
This time, Ye Qianfan walked over directly and opened the door.
"Fanchen, why did you come here so early? Are you here to find Sister Shuang'er?"
Ye Qianfan asked two questions in a row, and Fan Chen glanced at Ye Qianfan: "Why aren't you welcome?"
Ye Qianfan turned sideways to give way, waited for Fan Chen to come in and closed the door again.
Fan Chen usually doesn't come over for breakfast, he always comes for dinner, and recently Zhao Qianqian is not at home, he often finds Chengshuang to communicate about things in the store.
"Why didn't you answer outside the door when I asked me just now?" Xiao Chaoyang crossed her hands on her hips, like a little Nezha, she wanted to ask the teacher for guilt.
Fan Chen handed a large bag of steamed buns to Ye Qianfan: "I didn't come here to look for Chengshuang, I came to find your sister, I didn't answer you just now because I went to buy steamed buns."
The previous words were said to Ye Qianfan, and the latter was said to Xiao Chaoyang.
"Oh."
"My sister isn't home."
The siblings replied almost at the same time.
"Sister is not at home? She's out again so early?" Ye Qianfan looked at Xiao Chaoyang.
"Well, I shouldn't have come back, I didn't come back when I slept last night, I just went to her room to see, and she still hasn't come back."
Xiao Chaoyang said that she hadn't come back yet, because she had observed, the shallow quilt was still the same as last night, and she had checked it with her little hands, and the quilt and bed were cold.
Fan Chen said: "Since she didn't come back, then I'll go back first, if she comes back and tells her to wait for me at the teahouse at noon, I have something to look for her."
Xiao Chaoyang scoundrel shook his head, turned around and went into the backyard, she is a little adult in the family, recently my father helped people catch the cloak, and slept late at night, so she took the initiative to take on the task of waking up the two children in the morning.
After she washed herself, prepared the washing water, and went to tell Zhao Yu and Zhao Guo to get up.
Ye Qianfan was about to wake up Zhao Guo.
During the meal, no one said anything about Zhao Qianqian's failure to return last night, because everyone went to her room to see it, and someone checked the temperature of the quilt.
She went out with Shen Junchen yesterday morning, and everyone thought that she must be with him, so no one said or asked, as if he was together, which made them feel very relieved.
After breakfast, Cheng Shuang went to inspect the store as usual, and Ye Qianfan took his four younger siblings to the academy.
Xiao Chaoyang put something in the small back basket, closed the lid, and locked it.
Everyone in the family went out, and the father began to help people make cloaks again, and the old man glared at him.
Daddy felt the death gaze, and he shuddered, "What do you command?"
