Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 64: Seeing the corpse, there is no hope
When Mrs. Qi entered the door, she saw exactly this scene.

Her face suddenly sank.

The maid was also startled. She had been smiling brightly and charmingly just now, but now she had lowered her head. She didn't dare to show her anger. She took a few steps back and tried to reduce her sense of presence.

Xia Haicheng didn't care, and was not embarrassed at all by being caught. He asked Qi, "What's the matter with you?"

Mrs. Qi looked at the maid coldly: "Back off!"

The maid's face changed again, and she looked at Xia Haicheng with pitiful eyes. Xia Haicheng didn't seem to see it, as if it wasn't him who had been eyeing the maid just now. She waved her hand and said naturally: "Didn't you hear what Madam said? Back off! "

The maid left aggrievedly.

Seeing his attitude, Mrs. Qi's face improved, and then she said, "Master Marquis, do you remember what day it is today?"

Xia Haicheng thought for a while: "Who wants to be promoted? Or whose family has a happy event?"

Qi Shi: "..."

Although she knew that the Marquis was concerned about matters in the officialdom, she still felt speechless.

Seeing that Mrs. Qi's expression was wrong, Xia Chixiao asked again: "Whose birthday is it?"

Qi said: "You forgot, Xia Chixiao said a few days ago that the woman married in the countryside came to Beijing today!"

Xia Haicheng was startled, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, she can't enter the capital!"

Mrs. Qi was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Master Hou has already taken action?"

Of course, he has sent two waves of people to intercept and kill people on the road. He has eliminated all those from the north, young women, traveling alone or accompanied by people with these suspicious characteristics.

Since he brought Xia Chixiao back, it was for the greater good, even though a country woman was insignificant.

But in the future, Xia Chixiao's marriage should be to a well-matched or even higher-ranked woman who can bring benefits to the Liyang Hou Mansion. How could a country girl with nothing occupy this position?
"But he went out early in the morning!"

"Get out, get out!" Xia Haicheng smiled coldly, with an indescribable coldness and ruthlessness in his tone: "Hurry a little earlier, and when you see the corpse, you will have no hope, and you will make up your mind!"

Mrs. Qi also laughed when she heard this.

They had the same idea on Xia Chixiao's marriage.

When a country woman becomes the eldest son's wife, not only will she not be able to take her away, but the Marquis's family will be completely embarrassed.

Xia Chixiao had no idea.

He had already gone to the north city gate early in the morning. When the city gate just opened, he left the city and headed ten miles outside the city. There was a ten-mile pavilion there. He loosened the reins of his horse and let the horse eat grass nearby.

His gaze was directed to the north.

Grandma, I haven’t seen you for three years. How is your health?
And her, is she okay?

The Shili Pavilion stands alone. The young man's figure is as straight as a pine. Between the pavilion pillars, in this empty place of heaven and earth, he looks firm and steady, with graceful bells and graces, like the most beautiful picture scroll.

This stop lasted nearly an hour.

Xia Chixiao didn't feel that the time was long, nor did he feel tired from standing.

He was full of expectations.

At the same time, there is also a lot of guilt.

My grandmother experienced the death of her parents and his "disappearance", and I don't know how many blows she endured.

When he was in Qianyuan, he was unable to send letters. After returning to Shangqi, he no longer knew where to send his letters.

Now, we finally meet.

And her.I couldn't see her three years ago, but now I can finally see her and know what she looks like.

Finally, in the distance, a carriage seemed to break through the dust and come from the official road.

Xia Chixiao's eyes were full of joy, and he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips to welcome him over there.

Closer, closer.

However, the driver on the carriage was not Luo Xiao.

He paused, and the joy that had filled his heart suddenly froze. There was only one carriage, and if the driver was not Luo Xiao, then he was not the one he wanted to pick up.

The driver glanced at the young man with an extraordinary bearing on the side of the road. He was a little confused and had doubts in his eyes, but he did not stop.

Xia Chixiao didn't stop, because the wind blew the curtains of the carriage apart, and he could see clearly that the person sitting in the carriage was an old man with a long beard.

As the carriage passed by, Xia Chixiao gathered his thoughts.

He was too anxious. Luo Xiao sent a message to return to Beijing in ten days. Today is the tenth day, yes, but he came early in the morning, too early.

It doesn't matter, he doesn't feel it's early, and he doesn't feel he's waited too long.

Didn't they wait longer than grandma and her?It’s also more painful!
What does his little time count for?
"Hey, hey..." As he was sinking into his own thoughts, the sound of horse hooves interrupted his thoughts.

He raised his head and saw that the horse was already in front of him at a galloping speed.

The man on the horse was very surprised when he saw him. He dismounted and knelt down on one knee in front of him: "General!"

Xia Chixiao stared at the direction he came from, the anticipation and excitement in his eyes suddenly condensed: "Luo Xiao, why are you the only one?"

Looking at Luo Xiao's dusty appearance, he frowned again and said, "Didn't you meet the people I sent to pick you up on the road?"

Luo Xiao was startled and said: "When my subordinates set out for the northern border, after passing a message to General Fei Ge, they came all the way at high speed! I didn't meet anyone!"

Xia Chixiao understood that arriving in Beijing in ten days did not mean that people were already halfway there and could enter Beijing in ten days, but that Luo Xiao would have to travel day and night to get back at that time.

The person he sent to respond must have missed it.

"Where are my grandmother and the others?"

Luo Xiao opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment and then said: "General, I have been ordered by you to find the old lady and my wife. They are not in the place arranged by the general for them. Moreover, my subordinates are blocked in everything, which is very strange!"

"Encountered a blockage?" Xia Chixiao's eyes couldn't help but become a little colder.

Luo Xiao nodded heavily: "When we were in the northern border, my subordinate's whereabouts were discovered. Three groups of people ambush and chased me! My subordinate noticed it in advance and got rid of them!"

Xia Chixiao looked at him with sharp eyes: "Do you know who he is?"

"I don't know yet, but I have sent a message to the brothers over there and asked them to check it out!"

Luo Xiao raised his eyes. He was 24 years old. He was capable, neat, decisive, cautious, and meticulous in tracking and tracing. This was why he was sent to the northern border to pick up people.

As early as when Xia Chixiao discovered that the letter he sent to his grandmother and wife had not received a reply, he knew that they must be no longer where they were.

He was not too worried because when he went on the expedition, he left people behind to protect his grandmother and family. Those people should be able to protect them.

But Luo Xiao's failure to return made him frown deeply and his heart felt heavy. He had a bad premonition and a heavy depression in his heart.

Not many people know his identity in the North.My father was defeated in that battle, and only the people around him knew about it.
Even the hundreds of brothers who broke out of the siege with him only knew his name and did not know that he was the heir apparent of the Xuanping Prefecture.

Why would anyone do anything to their grandmother and wife?Are they going for grandma?

Luo Xiao knelt down on one knee: "General, my subordinates are not doing their job well. Please punish me, General! They, they have been unfortunately killed!"
