Chapter 43: Searching

It's late at night, in the peach orchard of Shenfu.

Shen Xiaoqing sat in the pavilion without saying a word, while Chun Tao stood at the gate of the courtyard and paced back and forth.

"This uncle is really getting more and more disagreeable, and he dares not to return at night. ”

"What if she didn't go to find Miss Qin, but was in danger. ”

"It's all my fault, I haven't paid close attention to him during this time. ”

Listening to Chun Tao's words, Shen Xiaoqing was even more upset, so he got up and walked to the house.

"Miss, Chun Tao will serve you to change your clothes first. Chun Tao immediately walked behind her.

Shen Xiaoqing turned around and said to Chun Tao: "It's still early, I don't want to sleep yet, I'll call you when I'm sleepy." ”

In fact, she planned to reprimand Ye Fei later when he came back, so she didn't think about changing clothes.

Before entering the house and going up the stairs, Shen Xiaoqing glanced at the study with an oil lamp. In a trance, she seemed to see Ye Fei sitting at the desk and smiling at him.

She shook her head, unwilling to accept that she would worry about Ye Fei.

When he got upstairs, Shen Xiaoqing took out a few books and sat on the windowsill to read them at night. But looking at it, her mind flew to Ye Fei, no matter how she slapped her face, she couldn't let her mind focus on the book.

Finally, footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

She immediately got up and poked her head out the window. After seeing that the person who walked into the courtyard was Shen Xiaohua, she sat back on her chair in disappointment.

"What the hell is wrong with me?" she asked herself.

"Brother Hua, why are you here?"

She heard Chun Tao asking Shen Xiaohua.

"Sister Chuntao, my father asked me to send some good Longjing over to Sister Qing and brother-in-law, where are they?"

"Miss is upstairs, and my uncle hasn't come back since he went out to fool around today. ”

"I guess I guess I stayed at some girl's place. ”

"Brother Hua, what are you talking nonsense, if Miss hears it, you will be punished for kneeling. ”

After laughing twice, Shen Xiaohua left.

Upstairs, after listening to his words, Shen Xiaoqing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Could it be that Ye Fei stayed overnight at Miss Qin's just as Shen Xiaohua said? After only a few days of acquaintance, the two of them can live in the same room?

This Qingyin Fang is a decent family, and Miss Qin doesn't look like a serious person.

Shen Xiaoqing slapped his face again, telling himself to stop thinking about Ye Fei's affairs, let him go, anyway, he would have to reconcile in more than a year.

With this thought, Shen Xiaoqing's mind could finally settle down.

But as time went by, more and more houses on the streets inside and outside the Shen Mansion were extinguished, and seeing that Ye Fei still hadn't returned, Shen Xiaoqing suddenly closed the book, and then shouted in front of the window, "Chun Tao, lock the door of the courtyard." ”

"Miss, what if my uncle comes back?"

"Leave him alone, I'm going to sleep. ”

"Oh," Chun Tao reluctantly agreed, "then I'll wash and change the young lady first, and then come down and lock the door later." ”

After changing clothes and getting to the bed, Shen Xiaoqing turned over and faced inside, and said "Kill you".

By the next day.

Before dawn, Shen Xiaoqing woke up. She got out of bed and walked to the windowsill to look down, and found that the door in the courtyard had been locked, and then she walked down the stairs, and from a distance, she saw that the door of Ye Fei's room was still open, and the light was still on inside.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Xiaoqing walked over, but found Chun Tao lying alone, so he said, "Chun Tao, why are you in my uncle's room?"

After opening her eyes in a daze, she looked at Shen Xiaoqing and was stunned for a while before Chun Tao's eyes flashed, and then she got up and got out of bed, explaining: "Miss, Chun Tao was originally waiting for her aunt to come back, but then she couldn't hold it anymore and lay down with him for a while, but she didn't think she would fall asleep." ”

"He's not back yet!" Shen Xiao said, then turned around and went upstairs.

Sitting down at her desk, she began to feel uneasy.

Ye Fei loves to mess around, but he is a smart person who knows how to handle the size, and he won't really stay with any girl.

If the matter reached her father and mother, it would not be a trivial matter.

Although Ye Fei had not returned for seven days before, it was her father and mother who knew that they were wrong, so they did not ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, but now it is different, if her mother Mrs. Xie knows, she will definitely embarrass Ye Fei for this matter.

As the sky gradually brightened, Shen Xiaoqing witnessed how the streets outside were becoming lively little by little.

In the Shen family, the people under the family also began to work, and everything seemed to be in order.

"Uncle may be in danger," Shen Xiaoqing said to Chun Tao, "This matter must not be known to the people in the other gardens, especially the master and the lady." Later, you will go to Brother Hua and ask him to help you inquire on the street, by the way, you can't let Brother Jian know, although he has been in contact with his uncle a lot recently, I still can't trust him. ”

Subsequently, Chun Tao went to the third room to find Shen Xiaohua and asked Shen Xiaohua to help inquire about Ye Fei's whereabouts.

In the evening, Ye Fei still did not return, confirming Shen Xiaoqing's worries.

After looking outside for a day, Chun Tao had already returned to the peach orchard at this time. Yesterday, she thought that Ye Fei had a private meeting with Qin Shuyue, and she wasn't too worried, but now she hadn't seen Ye Fei's figure for almost two days and one night, and she was completely uneasy.

"Where did this annoying guy go!" Shen Xiaoqing on the side began to complain.

As the night wore on, the worries of the master and servant intensified.

After the unitary, Shen Xiaohua came to Taoyuan in a hurry with a panting expression, and he also went out to look for a day before returning to the Shen Mansion.

"Brother Hua, what's going on?'s news?" Chun Tao asked impatiently.

"I've been to Wanhualou, Chunfeng Building, and Tianxiang Pavilion, but I haven't seen my brother-in-law; ”

Hearing Shen Xiaohua say this, Shen Xiaoqing and Chun Tao were very disappointed.

"Cousin, what should I do next? Do you want to talk to my uncle or my father and mobilize the people in the mansion to find it?" asked Shen Xiaohua.

"No, by all means, this matter can only be known by you, me, and Chun Tao," Shen Xiaoqing frowned and shook his head, "It's not early, you go back first, and then look for it tomorrow." ”

"Hmm!" Shen Xiaohua turned to leave, but after walking a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Brother-in-law shouldn't have eloped with a girl?" ”

"Brother Hua, you better go back quickly!" Chun Tao drove Shen Xiaohua away.

Shen Xiaohua scratched his head with a bitter face, and found that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

After Shen Xiaohua left, Shen Xiaoqing walked towards the house.

"Miss, you haven't eaten dinner yet. Chun Tao said urgently.

"I'm not hungry yet, if you're hungry, eat first. ”

After entering the house, Shen Xiaoqing went upstairs directly. She sat down in front of the bookcase and flipped through a page of the book.

Thinking that Ye Fei had taken Xiao away, she couldn't help but suspect that what Shen Xiaohua said just now might be right. With Ye Fei's temperament, it is not surprising that he would elope.

However, Ye Fei didn't need to elope at all, he could reconcile with her a year in advance, but he could ask for more things from their Shen family.

After burying his head in reading the book for a while, Shen Xiaoqing suddenly raised his head, clenched his fists and said, "Dare to elope, I will kill you!"

This night, Shen Xiaoqing didn't eat or sleep well.
