The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 111 Where's My Daughter?

There are only a few steps from the alley to the back door of Xu's mansion, so Xu Qingluo and Yang Qian arrived in front of them in a short while, and also saw a slender figure at the door sneakily trying to avoid it.

"stop!"

Yang Qian opened his mouth first, he was not in a good mood, especially after what happened to Yang Yunping just now, and now he saw the people at the door sneaking and flustered, he had a bad guess in his heart: "What are you? People, what are you doing sneakily here!"

Yang Qian grabbed the figure who was about to avoid it, and only recognized it when he moved closer: "It's you?"

"Let go of me, let go, you scratched me!"

Xu Weiwan looked a little flustered, trying desperately to break free from Yang Qian's grasp.

Yang Qian let go of Xu Weiwan's hand, but because the other party was still exerting strength, he let go again suddenly, unsteady, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.

"This Miss Xu doesn't know what to do here?"

Yang Qian and Xu Weiwan didn't meet much, so they didn't recognize him just a few steps away, but now that they got closer, they naturally recognized him, but after recognizing the person, Yang Qian's complexion became even more ugly: "I hope you, Miss Explain it well."

Who is the third prince?In the past, he was a prince of gold and jade in the imperial court, but now he is a traitor who rebelled against the imperial court. If it is known that Xu Qingluo met him, even if Xu Qingluo and the third prince did not have a friendly conversation, he would not be able to bear the rumors from others Guess, what's more, Xu Weiwan doesn't have any kindness towards Xu Qingluo.

Yang Qian and Xu Weiwan didn't meet each other often, but they knew her well. Not everything she did against Xu Qingluo was clear, but only a month ago about the incident with the Little Zhou family, Xu Weiwan spared no effort to smear Xu Qingluo. The water was enough to make him wary.

"Who are you from the Xu family? I was just waiting at the gate of the Xu family. Why do you interrogate me like a prisoner? Sister, I just saw that you haven't returned to this young master for a long time, so I was worried and waited here for a while." Two, can't I even do this?"

Xu Weiwan's eyes were full of grievances, as if she was really a person who had suffered a lot and was wronged.

Faced with Xu Weiwan's attitude, Yang Qian was a little at a loss.

Xu Qingluo chuckled lightly, but didn't say another word to Xu Weiwan's nonsense, but turned to Yang Qian, stretched out his hand and stretched out the young man's hand: "Let's go back quickly, there's no need to delay for so long because of irrelevant people." , my father and mother need us to help more."

Feeling the temperature of Xu Qingluo's palm, Yang Qian felt a little crazy in his heart for a moment. At this time, let alone Xu Qingluo just wanted to go back with him, he was not afraid of life and death.

Xu Qingluo didn't notice Yang Qian's psychological changes. In her heart, Yang Qian was still just a young man, far from being an adult man who needed to care about etiquette. No matter how defensive Qian is, no matter how good he is, he will not be like this.

"Sister, why don't you ask me what I'm doing here?"

Xu Qingluo was soft-spoken to Yang Qian, and it was the first time that she didn't add sarcasm to Xu Weiwan, but this kind of comparison, this kind of ignorance, made Xu Weiwan even more embarrassed.

Unable to bear it, Xu Weiwan uttered such a provocative sentence. As soon as she uttered the words, she knew that she had made a mistake. She just said what she said, and poured out a basin of water. She couldn't take it back, so she could only wait in embarrassment. Xu Qingluo picked up a word from her casually, then crossed over and went their separate ways.

Xu Qingluo stopped in her tracks, looked sideways at Xu Weiwan, looked at the unwillingness in her eyes, and raised her lips: "Didn't you say you were waiting for someone here?"

The deep meaning on Xu Qingluo's face and the pointed tone of her voice made Xu Weiwan's heart tremble.

"no!"

Xu Weiwan retorted subconsciously, lowering her head: "I am, just to see when my sister will come back."

Xu Qingluo smiled meaningfully, facing Xu Weiwan's unusual nervousness, but said nothing, and walked into Xu's residence with Yang Qian.

Xu Weiwan didn't follow in, maybe she was afraid that Xu Qingluo would ask more questions.

The servants were all serving the banquet in the front yard, and there was no one around the back door leading to the back yard. Xu Qingluo had already let go of Yang Qian's hand, and her steps were slow, as if everything she experienced in the alley just now was an illusion .

Yang Qian couldn't help but said: "I think there's something wrong with Xu Weiwan, does she know something?"

He was very worried about Xu Qingluo, worried that the other party would be tricked by Xu Weiwan.

Some time ago, he didn't help Xu Qingluo anything. Seeing her fighting back against all the gossip alone, there was self-disgust and incompetence in her heart. Maybe he should make some changes. He couldn't do it anymore. Just muddling along like now, he wants to be able to protect this powerful girl, wants to help her, more than ever.

Xu Qingluo didn't have mind reading skills, so no matter how well she knew people's hearts, she would never know the change in Yang Qian's mind at this moment.

Hearing Yang Qian's worry, Xu Qingluo smiled: "What does she know? You and I just went out to meet a lunatic with delusions. Who can prove what he calls himself the Third Prince?"

As long as the third prince is not caught, as long as she is not caught talking to the third prince face to face, so what if Xu Weiwan speaks up?Although the current Xu family is on the cusp of the storm and is remembered by many people, because it is on the cusp of the storm, there is no real evidence, and no one can do anything about it.

Before meeting the third prince, Xu Qingluo had already thought clearly about her interests, otherwise, she would not go out even if the emperor came, let alone the rumor that the third prince was coming.

She just wanted to see the purpose of his coming here from the third prince. After all, what happened in Huai County has proved the wolfish ambitions of the people of the Western Regions towards the Central Plains.

But on the other hand, Xu Qingluo felt at ease. Whether it was Yang Yunping or the third prince, they were all subdued by that Mu Qing. Come out, no matter how dangerous they are, they always have brains, rationality and a little conceit. Although such people are difficult to deal with, they are always less harmful than mad dogs that bite people indiscriminately.

Yang Qian looked at Xu Qingluo's smile, and couldn't help but laugh for a while: "Yes, it's just a one-sided statement, who would believe it."

"It's just that I think that Miss Xu is really wrong. It stands to reason that her mother Fang Fang passed away, and she should be a little sad no matter what, but there is no sadness in her eyes. Such a person is not completely emotionless. Being cold-blooded and vicious, she has other big demands, anyway, such a woman should be on guard no matter what."

Xu Qingluo was more sober than Yang Qian thought, but the boy still couldn't help reminding her of any possible omissions.

Xu Qingluo looked at Yang Qian's serious expression, and suddenly remembered that in Yang Yunping's backyard in his previous life, the only conscience in the entire Yang family, the only person who would remind her, suddenly smiled: "She is not as powerful as you think. Well, she didn't feel sad at all when Zhou's gone, it's just because she is not Zhou's biological daughter."

Yang Qian was a little stunned: "Could it be an adopted daughter? Even adopted daughters always match mother and daughter."

For someone like Yang Qian who attaches great importance to family affection, he cannot understand Xu Weiwan.

Xu Qingluo looked at his puzzled expression, thought for a while, and then said what Xiao Zhou told herself in the cell: "It's just a mother and daughter in name, Zhou told me in the cell, Xu Weiwan It's just that the young prostitutes she bought from the brothel, the two are mother and daughter, and they have cheated a lot of money by relying on their status as orphans and widows in the past few years. Zhou's death, to Xu Weiwan, not only is it not a sad thing, but it is also a kind of relief.”

Xu Qingluo's words made Yang Qian dumbfounded: "Why, why did such a thing happen—"

To him, the brothel is like a legendary existence. Even the son of Yang Taiwei's family, even if he lived in the capital before, but Yang Qian's temper, at most, is to go to the library, the teahouse, the brothel and the like. Yes, that would never take a step.

Shocked to the extreme, Yang Qian's mind turned around after a long time: "Then Xu Weiwan's life experience is a bit pitiful."

He is telling the truth, he is not those pedantic people, his temperament is more practical, the young prostitutes are despised in the eyes of outsiders, but in his view, they have a miserable life experience, and Xiao Zhou's redemption of Xu Weiwan is just to take advantage of it.

Xu Qingluo said that Xu Weiwan's life experience was originally to let Yang Qian understand the other party's details so that he would not be deceived. How could he think that this nerd could say something pitiful. It was all unavoidable, in the final analysis it was the man's fault that this profession appeared, Xu Qingluo knew it very well, but Xu Weiwan was different.

As long as she thought of Xu Weiwan's various deeds in her previous life, and the cruel pride she told her about the death of Xu's whole family, let alone sympathy, Xu Qingluo wished to let her taste what it was like to be in purgatory.

"She has a pitiful background, but her actions are not pitiful at all. Among those who have been deceived by their mother and daughter all the way, how do you know whether there are people who have become more miserable than her because of being deceived? Time is in the mood to pity her, why don't you think about helping some more deserving people."

Xu Qingluo's words were quite heavy, Yang Qian felt that the look in Xu Qingluo's eyes was unusually dignified, he did not refute, but agreed.

After all, a word of pity is just sympathy for strangers. Yang Qian has always been able to distinguish who is more important than who is more important.

Not to mention that Xu Weiwan's deeds are not worthy of pity, even if Xu Weiwan is really pitiful, if she is harmful to Xu Qingluo, Yang Qian will not let her go.

To him, apart from Lu'e, only Xu Qingluo is the most important thing in this world.

When Xu Qingluo and Yang Qian were about to leave again, they found someone in front of them.

Standing in front of him was a figure in white, slender and tall, with an elegant figure. The sun shone on the face of this young man in white. The real young man was like jade. It looks really pleasing to the eye too much.

Even men who seem to be the same type, there is a difference between being really romantic and really dirty, and Yang Yunping is really dirty.

Thinking of the difference between the two in this way, the expression on Xu Qingluo's face subconsciously eased a little.

In any case, Gong Ziyan has always helped her a lot.

Yang Qian noticed the change in Xu Qingluo's expression, and saw them after a glance, but the young master Yan who was coming this way didn't make a sound.

It's just that the desire for strength in my heart is getting bigger and bigger.

Gongzi Yan was a little worried: "Why did you come back at this time? Who is looking for you? I am so worried that I can't sit still. I have been waiting here for a long time."

Xu Qingluo looked at Gong Ziyan's worried expression, and didn't know whether it was true or not, but since the other party behaved like this, the girl paused, and this time she didn't choose to hide it, but told her frankly: "Speaking of which, you should also know about this person. Yes, he was the third prince of the current dynasty."

Xu Qingluo didn't know whether Gong Ziyan was really waiting here honestly, or if she already knew something. Since she chose to tell the truth, she also briefly told about the several encounters between herself and the third prince. Once again, including blinding the Third Prince in one eye, including that the Third Prince seems to be working with people from the Western Regions, her voice is faint, but she secretly pays attention to the change of Gong Ziyan's expression, I don't know if it is an illusion, Xu Qingluo always There is a feeling that Gong Ziyan knows something about the third prince.

Gong Ziyan sighed: "I didn't expect that he was the one who invited you to meet. The former Tianhuang nobleman has fallen to the present situation, and he has committed evil himself."

"In short, if you meet this third prince again in the future, it's better not to meet alone. If you are caught talking, it's not good."

What Gong Ziyan said was very sincere.

Xu Qingluo listened to Gongzi Yan's words, with a gentle smile on his face: "Thank you for your persuasion, young master, I will pay attention."

-

Xu Liang frequently looked behind the courtyard, and when he saw Xu Qingluo, Yang Qian, and Gong Ziyan came back together, he was completely relieved, and the people around him drank a toast much more happily.

No one noticed that Xu Weiwan also came back not long after Xu Qingluo and the others came back, but this time, she didn't sit on the table, but hid in a corner, her eyes were always on Xu Qingluo's and before her recovery. Walking around.

She looked at the vacant seat beside Fuming, which was Fuyingying's seat, holding it with her hands, with thousands of thoughts in her heart.

-

When the evening approached, the banquet was completely over. Except for the inconvenient guests who were drunk in twos and threes and needed to notify their family members or be sent off by servants of the Xu family, most of the guests only needed to be delivered to the door. The people were sent away one by one, and the banquet was successfully completed.

There was a little friction on this day, and there were too many people attending the banquet after all, but perhaps because the Xu family was going to welcome Sheng Jia, most people chose to make big things small, even small things, even if there were people on weekdays. Today's hatred is nothing more than two rumors.

Nothing bad happened, the servants of the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief, and kept tidying up the messy cups and plates, but there was a lot of time to clean up, but no one felt unhappy, after all, Xu Qingluo was ahead of schedule. Having said that, if you do well today, all the waiters in the front yard will be rewarded a lot of money. Everyone believes that the eldest lady is generous.

After Xu Qingluo saw off the guests, she especially told those women with family members to be careful on the way. When she came back, she looked at Xu Liang exhausted and couldn't help laughing: "Daddy, you used to sit in the clinic for a whole day or It’s not like this even if you spend more than half a day collecting herbs in the mountains.”

Xu Liang was supported by Xu Qingluo, and sighed: "Hey, your father, I would rather work outside for a whole day than fight with others like this. Fortunately, your mother told her to go back early to rest. Otherwise, wouldn't she have a headache?"

Xu Qingluo looked at Xu Liang's bitter face, and burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, dad, don't worry, there will not be many opportunities for such a big banquet in the future, and if there is any, my daughter will be able to handle it by herself when she grows up." of."

"Where can you deal with it by yourself, your father and I can still help a little."

The two father and daughter were talking when suddenly there was a noise.

"City Master, City Master, what are you going to do?"

"This is Xu's backyard"

The obstructive sound of Xu's servants was mixed with angry reprimands: "Get out, let me see who dares to stop me!"

Fu Mingqian rushed into the backyard, and those servants of the Xu family didn't dare to stop him forcefully. No matter how bad the other party's reputation was, he was not as powerful as before in Wuzhou City, and he was still the city lord. Are ants normal?

Xu Qingluo frowned, carefully remembering the servants who let Fumingqian rush in, and then turned to face Fumingqian, who was panting and looking very bad, "What is Fumingqian doing? "

"Where is my daughter!"

The voices of Fumingqian and Xu Qingluo sounded at the same time.

The eyes before Fuming were full of resentment, and he pointed at Xu Qingluo: "Tell me, did you hide my daughter! If my daughter disappeared, you must have hidden her, you vicious bitch !"

Xu Qingluo was surprised from the bottom of his heart, Fu Yingying was gone?
On the surface, he was cold and hard: "City Master Fu, I hope you will accumulate some morals, and don't wrong people without evidence or certificates. I don't know where Fu Yingying is! It may not be that she left early."

"I do not believe!"

Before Fuming, she yelled, pointed at Xu Qingluo, and gritted her teeth: "No matter what, Yingying will never leave early without discussing with me. She just disappeared in Xu's house. You and her have old grudges. If you want to be unfavorable to Yingying, take advantage of the large number of guests, you will take advantage of the opportunity to attack, right! It is absolutely wrong for you to want to kill them all!"

Xu Qingluo looked at the excited look before Fuming, sneered, and raised his eyebrows: "Imagination is really good, more talented than those who make up storybooks, but I sincerely advise, thinking too much is a disease, Fucheng Lord , you should go to a good doctor to see your mental condition."

Xu Qingluo's indifferent attitude made Fuming Qiang terribly angry. He reached out to hit someone and remembered what Fu Yingying said about Xu Qingluo's ability to administer medicine. He should bring a few more people here, he gasped. , like a beast that has been pushed to the limit, wandering around with red eyes, the eyes are bright.

Instead, he saw Xu Weiwan with an obviously unnatural expression in the corner. He remembered that Xu Weiwan and Fu Yingying seemed to have talked together.

Before recovering, it was as if he had finally caught Xu Qingluo's handle, he hurried forward a few steps, and dragged Xu Weiwan out of the corner.

"Say, have you seen my daughter? Do you know where she is now? If you don't say anything, I will put you in prison!"

Before recovering, he threatened him viciously.

Xu Weiwan trembled, her face was as white as snow: "No, I don't know, I don't know anything, don't ask me, I really don't know."

Xu Weiwan denied it all the way, but her wandering eyeballs obviously bumped into Xu Qingluo and Xu Liang's bodies, which made people feel more ghostly than if she directly said she knew.

Xu Liang frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with Xu Weiwan's attitude, but Xu Qingluo's face turned cold, Xu Weiwan, you really are looking for trouble all the time.

Naturally, he had seen Xu Weiwan's performance before he regained consciousness, and for a moment his face was full of certainty: "Sure enough, you must know something, tell me quickly, otherwise you will taste the taste of prison, you won't Forget about your dead ghost mother dying in prison."

He was menacing, with a fierce look on his face.

Xu Weiwan seemed to be frightened to the extreme, she knelt down on the ground with a plop, and grabbed the hem of her clothes before Fuming: "City Lord, please don't force me anymore, my little girl really doesn't know anything, I can't say anything, if you say , if you say"

"The little girl doesn't even have a tile to cover her body, you can't say that!"

With sobs in Xu Weiwan's voice, she took another look at Xu Qingluo.

Before recovering, his eyes were frighteningly bright, and he was about to say something more.

Xu Qingluo finally spoke up: "Xu Weiwan, what exactly do you want to say, say it, there is nothing that should be said or should not be said, I will listen to what should not be said in the Xu family today."

"Miss, you, didn't you let me tell you?"

Xu Weiwan looked surprised and terrified, but instead of calling her Elder Sister Xu Qingluo, she called her Eldest Miss.

Xu Liang's complexion darkened, looking at Xu Weiwan, he wanted to slap her, no matter how slow he was, he could tell that Xu Weiwan had set a trap for his daughter.

This is simply shameless, obviously their Xu family doesn't care about the Zhou family's affairs and let Miss Xu Weiwan eat, clothe and live like that, but in the end they raised such a white-eyed wolf. .

He wouldn't believe that his daughter kidnapped Fu Yingying and hid her behind her back. Xu Qing fell into Xu Liang's heart, even if he hated a person dealing with another person, he was always aboveboard, just clumsy and tongue-tied Yes, Xu Liang had too many thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.

Xu Liang couldn't speak, but before he recovered, he had something to say. He grabbed Xu Weiwan's arm and said, "Since Miss Xu asked you to speak out, then you speak out, clearly, what's going on!"

Xu Qingluo was very calm, watching Xu Weiwan open her eyes and talking nonsense.

"I saw that Missy and Young Master Yang called Miss Fu out together when they went out. They went to the back door. They left for a long time, and they didn't come back for a long time, but only Missy and Young Master Yang came back. , Miss Fu, Miss Fu is gone.”
