Chapter 296: The Child Is Lost
"Breeding!" Xia Qiyue didn't have any more to say now, so she just answered simply, so that Steward Li probably knew what she was going to do.
She had observed on the way here that it was far away from the city, and each Zhuangzi occupied a large area and was also close to each other, so it was no problem to breed on the Zhuangzi.
When Steward Li heard this, his eyes lit up, because he knew that there were a lot of cattle, sheep and pigs in the other village of the eldest princess next to their Zhuangzi, and there were no tenants in the Zhuangzi, and they were all taken care of by subordinates, so would this Zhuangzi be like that in the future?
When he had any questions, he asked, "Madam, after letting the tenants go, does Zhuangzi need a subordinate?" ”
Xia Qiyue nodded, this is for sure, do you still need to ask? Could it be that she should be allowed to do the work herself?
Steward Li knelt down directly, startled Xia Qiyue, and took a step back to An Zichen's side.
"Madam, the old slave has something to ask for..."
Xia Qiyue listened to Steward Li's request, although it was not difficult for her, that is, to accept his mother-in-law and children to work in the Zhuangzi, but she did not agree.
"The subordinate I want is going to sign the deed of sale of the death contract, and it will be a slave in the future, you know, the next three generations of slaves can't take a scientific examination! You have to think it through! ”
This is true, for example, if you are a slave, then your grandchildren can't do scientific research, if it's not a death contract, you can redeem yourself, but she wants a death contract.
Steward Li lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded firmly, "Sign!" ”
Compared with not being able to live, the death deed is the death deed, the sons and daughters sign it, and the grandchildren don't sign it, so let's live first.
After they go out, they have no land and no house, the children are all older, and there is a lot of money to use, and they may starve to death.
Xia Qiyue explained some things again, and anyway, she couldn't realize her farm now, so she went back first.
The two of them walked slowly all the way, letting the swift wind play on the grass to their heart's content, and it was already afternoon when they got home.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the house, the door of the house was wide open, there was no one at the door, and Xia Qiyue felt wrong.
Hurriedly ran into the house.
There is no one in the front yard, and the second enters the yard... No one either.
"Something's wrong!" Xia Qiyue definitely turned back to An Zichen, who was following closely behind him, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.
"Don't worry, I'm here!" An Zichen observed the surroundings, not forgetting to comfort the pale-faced little wife.
"Where have all the people gone?" Xia Qiyue looked east and west anxiously.
Not only the subordinates, but even the people who made the candy are gone, and I don't know what happened.
An Zichen looked around, "There is a person in the backyard, it should be Fu Bo!" ”
"Go check it out!" Xia Qiyue was in a hurry, grabbed An Zichen's hand and ran to the backyard with him.
When he saw Fauber, the old man was walking back and forth in a hurry.
"Fu Bo..."Xia Qiyue shouted in a trembling voice.
Because of this situation, it is obvious that something is wrong, and it is certainly not small.
"Oops... You two are finally back! Hurry up, the girl is gone, and everyone went out to find no news! Go find it, go now! ”
Fauber was panting and sweating profusely as he spoke.
It was a thunderbolt on a sunny day in the summer and July, and she thought that Lao An's family was making trouble again, or what, but she didn't expect her daughter to disappear.
Quickly ran forward, pulled out Dabai from the stable, and got on the horse quickly, he didn't even have time to say a word to An Zichen, and ran out of the house by himself.
An Zichen's reaction and speed were still online, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly rode a horse to keep up.
Xiao Xunfeng was still too small, and the speed of the horse could not keep up, and finally he was aggrieved and left in the stable, taken care of by Fauber.
This time, Xia Qiyue successively met people who came back after looking for the child without success.
First of all, Mei Niang, sweating profusely, ran back, still holding Xuan'er in her hand, and saw Xia Qiyue riding a horse to meet her, Mei Niang quickly stopped.
Xia Qiyue reined in the horse's reins and watched his son's little face run red.
"Madam, the old slave went to the forest in the west to look for it, there are no footprints of the little lady, and there is nothing suspicious!" Mei Niang first told the situation she was looking for.
"What the hell is going on? When did you lose it? ”
Mei Niang thought for a while, and shook her head, "The old slave sent the little lady and the little master back to their room after eating lunch, the waiter and the green lady each coaxed one to sleep, the little lady who coaxed the book, she just said that the little lady had fallen asleep, she came out to wash a few clothes, and when she went back to see after washing the clothes, Miss Ke'er was gone!" ”
"So the kid has been lost for a long time?"
It was already afternoon when she came back with An Zichen, the child was missing at noon, and he had been lost all afternoon, if he had gone to play wildly, he would have come back a long time ago, this is really lost.
Or... Someone deliberately coaxed the child away...
"Didn't there be any suspicious people in the house at noon?" Xia Qiyue was almost sure that the child was not lost on his own.
Seeing that things were far from being as simple as he thought, An Zichen looked at Mei Niang and waited for her answer.
Mei Niang thought for a while and shook her head, "No, everything is very normal." If there was any suspicious person, she would have realized it a long time ago, because she took care of the children wholeheartedly when Mrs. and the fourth master went out, and she usually paid special attention to these.
Today, it was just because I couldn't do it myself because I couldn't coax the child, so this happened.
She has been blaming herself, but she can't help it, she still has the little master with her, she can't be a child outside all the time, the little master can't stand it.
Xia Qiyue heard Mei Niang say this, and knew that she couldn't ask anything, if Mei Niang noticed that something was wrong, she would definitely take precautions as soon as possible, this was not a chance for anyone to suspect.
"Mother... Can my sister be recovered? "Xuan'er is not as calm as she used to be at this time, a child is a child, and after her sister is gone, the villain is already panicking.
It was already the limit that he could endure to wait for his mother to finish asking before crying.
Xia Qiyue got off the horse and hugged his son, "Xuan'er don't worry, my mother will definitely find my sister back, Xuan'er will go home with Mei Niang first and wait, okay?" ”
Xuan'er is too young to take him on horseback, otherwise Xia Qiyue won't want to let the child leave her for a moment.
It's terrible, she can actually abduct the child out at home, she has done it very firmly, even the study is in the house, and the children usually don't leave people, how can they lose it?
All she was thinking about now was that Kerr must have been abducted by someone who had targeted the candy house.
Either to retaliate against her for stealing her business, or to threaten her with her children, and ask her for silver.
"Xuan'er is obedient, mother, you must find your sister, mother, you go quickly, what should I do if my sister is bullied when I go late?"
Xuan'er struggled to let go of Xia Qiyue and obediently walked to Mei Niang's side.
The child's sensibility made Xia Qiyue feel even more guilty, thinking that Ke'er would be beaten and abused, and might even be killed, she couldn't control herself, and she exuded a chill all over her body.
"Go home first, check the clues and then look for them!" An Zichen was much calmer than Xia Qiyue at this time.
