Chapter III: Retrieval (Revised)

In that dream, Brother Ting was stolen out of the house, because it was found late, the thief had already left the city, and later Qi Cun spent a lot of effort and didn't find it back.

But that was after she eloped with Gu Chong, why is it advanced now?

Qiao Yuan now knew that it was not the time to pursue it, so she tightened the quilt and ordered: "Jinshu, you go and inform the heads of the various courtyards and ask them to block all the exits of Changningbo Mansion." ”

The thief picked up Brother Ting two quarters of an hour ago, and the Bofu was twisted and turned, and it is very likely that he is still in the mansion now.

Mother Qiao was greedy for her weak daughter and held her hand tightly.

At present, not long after the banquet ended, the maids and servants in the garden were packing up their things.

This is Changningbo's Mansion, and if you want to say that the person who is most familiar with the mansion, it is naturally Mrs. Changningbo.

Qiao Yuan went straight to the courtyard of Mrs. Changningbo's Mansion, but fortunately, Hongyu took the first step to bring the words, and Qiao Yuan saw a group of people coming in a hurry halfway.

Mrs. Changningbo was also terrified.

Not to mention that this is Qiao Yuan's foreign family, just because Brother Ting is the sister-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenbei, if something really happens to the mansion.

Thinking that she saw the man with a strong aura around her at the wedding banquet, Mrs. Changningbo closed her eyes.

The Marquis of Zhenbei is a saint who is in charge of an army of 100,000 people, and he can be said to be the most powerful marquis in the entire Daji.

Although the Qi family secretly looks down on Zhenbei Hou, when it comes to who is the most favored in front of the saint, the Qiao family's hundred words are not worth a word from Zhenbei Hou.

The corners of Mrs. Changningbo's anxious mouth were foaming, and she could only comfort her pale niece when she saw her.

"Don't be afraid, I've already asked people to block the exit and call everyone to the courtyard, there are few people, you can see it at a glance."

Qiao Yuan's body was weak for a while, but she knew that she couldn't fall down now, so she bit her lip to sober herself.

"Jinshu, you take my token back to the Hou Mansion and ask the guards in the mansion to look for it outside."

The guards of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei were left behind before Qi Cun left, and they were all well-trained, more shrewd and stronger than ordinary guards.

Jin Shu wiped his tears and hurried back.

Time passed minute by minute, and the guards dispatched by the two governments kept coming back and being sent out again.

The sequelae of falling into the water and angina pectoris hit one after another, and Qiao Yuan's bitten lips were bloodshot, and his legs were weak.

Qiao's mother hugged her weak daughter, and her voice was crying: "My hard-working son......"

Qiao Yuan's eyes turned red.

She doesn't really care much about this son.

An unhappy marriage, an unhappy husband, and I don't even look forward to taking this son.

I didn't feel much when I was pregnant, I was born with a nurse and maid to take care of her, and Qiao Yuan only needed to look at it once or twice a day.

Everything was too smooth, she always had a sense of unreality, she felt that she was still a girl, after all, there were many people of her age who had not yet come out of the cabinet. Now that her son is gone, she realizes her dereliction of duty as a mother.

If you usually have more snacks and more people to follow, will it not be easily stolen?

The belated guilt and remorse overwhelmed Qiao Yuan, and she wiped her eyes.

It was getting dark, and once it was evening, the hope of finding it was even slimmer.

Qiao's mother felt her daughter's body trembling slightly in her arms, and covered her with a cloak with red eyes.

Everyone's hearts are raised high, waiting for the outcome of not knowing whether it will be good or bad.

Just when Qiao Yuan was about to give up, a guard rushed over.

"Found it!"

Qiao Yuan opened his eyes suddenly.

The guard was followed by a woman with messy hair, holding a baby with a weak cry in her arms, and stepped forward timidly.

Qiao Yuan moved, only then did he realize that his hands and feet were a little stiff.

Brother Ting'er is white and tender, his eyebrows and eyes are like Qiao Yuan, and he looks like a boy under the seat of Guanyin.

It's just that his nose is red from crying now, and he frowns aggrievedly.

As soon as he was stuffed into his mother's fragrant and soft arms, he seemed to smell the smell of reassurance, and immediately stopped crying, and a pair of eyes washed with tears turned smartly.

Qiao Yuan rubbed his face, and Brother Ting was amused to laugh, forgetting that he was still crying just now.

Qiao Yuan felt a heart fall into place, hugged his lost and recovered son, and looked distractedly at the woman who brought Brother Ting'er back.

At this glance, she felt a little familiar: "You are ......"

The man hurriedly replied: "Madam, the slave maid is Xiaoyu, a third-class maid from the Hou Mansion, who came with Madame today." ”

Qiao Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong: "How did you find the little young master?" ”

Xiao Yucheng replied in fear: "The slave saw a man holding the little master, as if he was deliberately avoiding people, and walked towards the small door, and quickly stopped him before he left the house." ”

Qiao Yuan grabbed her son's little hand around her neck and put it in swaddling clothes.

"You're a woman, how did you stop a man?"

Xiao Yu rolled up her sleeves, revealing a large area of redness and swelling on her arm, bit her lip and said, "The slave and maid are defeated by the thief, and the Xin Hao Li guards arrived in time." ”

Guard Li is the one who just said that he found Brother Ting.

He nodded: "When the subordinates arrived, Xiaoyu and the thief were entangled, and the thief saw that the situation was not good and took the opportunity to escape." ”

Li Guard is a person from the Hou Mansion and a close confidant of Qi Cun, Qiao Yuan can trust him, he looked at Xiao Yu, and his eyes softened: "Thanks to you this time, whatever you want, I will satisfy you." ”

Xiao Yu nodded boldly.

Mrs. Hou, who is usually high, has loose hair at the moment, her eyes are red, her face is still a little pale, and her eyes are clearer than the childish in her arms.

Xiao Yu was stabbed, and quickly lowered her head so that she didn't show anything unusual, and only whispered: "The slave doesn't want any reward, she just wants to serve by her wife's side." ”

Qiao Yuan was surprised: "Really? If you want something, just say it, and don't be afraid. ”

Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said that she just wanted to stay by her wife's side.

Xiao Yu made this request in front of everyone, and insisted again and again, Xiao Yu had just saved Brother Ting, and it was not good to refuse in person at the moment, so Qiao Yuan had to agree first.

Brother Ting didn't know why they had been talking for so long, so he pulled his hand out of his clothes and grabbed his mother's necklace.

The necklace is made of rubies, and the pendant is drop-shaped, glowing when you get closer.

Qiao Yuan simply took off the necklace and tied it around his neck, and Brother Ting played with it obediently and skillfully.

found someone, and everyone in Changningbo Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, saying that they would thoroughly investigate the thief who ran away.

Qiao Yuan accompanied his grandmother to talk, and the family had dinner together, politely refused to stay in Changning Bofu, and took his fat son to the Hou Mansion.

……

In addition to Qiao Yuan and Ting Ge'er, the two serious masters of the Hou Mansion, there is also Qi Cun's mother and younger sister.

It's just that Qi's mother was born as a peasant woman and her son is promising, so she got the title of an old feudal king, and every time she is facing this noble-born daughter-in-law, she is always a little short of breath.

In addition, she knew that she didn't have the one who could be in charge of the Great Marquis Mansion, and she usually only asked about things in the mansion, and her son was not at home, so she only nested in her own yard to spend her birthday.

Qiao Yuan didn't come to her, and she didn't even ask for peace, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fine.

Only this time, when Qiao Yuan entered the door and saw the brightly lit main courtyard, his heart sank suddenly.

Hongyu was also a little uneasy: "I'm afraid that the movement of the slave and maid to transfer the guards back to the house before was too big, and the old lady noticed it." ”

Qiao Yuan looked down at Brother Ting.

He had just been fed by a nurse, and he was in good spirits at the moment, babbling and not knowing what he was talking about, and his little white arms like lotus roots were tightly wrapped around her neck.

Qiao Yuan took out a handkerchief to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his face was very serious: "You are five months old, and you are not allowed to drool in the future." ”

The little one stared at her blankly and pouted.

After bullying his stupid son, Qiao Yuan chuckled very immorally, tightened his clothes, and walked into the main courtyard in the night.
