The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 403 A Quiet Day (2)
Although Shen Xuan didn't know how much property Xue Yaoxi owned privately, she knew that after leaving the capital for so many days, there must be many things waiting for Xue Yaoxi to deal with.The other party has been with her for so long today, and Shen Xuan is very contented in her heart, so she didn't say anything to keep the other party in the mansion for a tea break, but urged the other party to go back to deal with business.

"Okay then, I'll go back first, and I'll see you in a few days." Xue Yaoxi replied without forcing.

After watching Xue Yaoxi leave, Shen Xuan turned and entered the gate.As soon as he arrived at the second gate, he met Butler Bai, and only then did he learn the news that Du Qingcang had come to the mansion.

"Oh, Miss, you are back. General Du Shao has been waiting in the mansion for a long time." Seeing Shen Xuan's figure, Butler Bai hurried forward a few steps and reported aloud.

"Brother Du is here, when did you come?" Shen Xuan asked while walking.

Regarding Lin Pengfei's matter, Shen Xuan decided to tell Du Qingcang after much deliberation, no matter how things would develop in the future.So two days ago, Shen Xuan sent someone to the General's Mansion to say that he hoped that Du Qingcang would come to the Shen Mansion when he was free, but he didn't expect the other party to come today.

"It's been a while since I've been here. The master and wife are not in the mansion, and the third young master is not in the mansion either. Now the fifth young master is accompanying me in the front hall." Butler Bai reported truthfully.

Hearing the report from Butler Bai, Shen Xuan paused for a moment, and asked, "Where did my father and mother go?"

"Master and Madam went to the Grand Master's side. Someone came to report earlier that the Grand Master has something to discuss with the Master." Butler Bai hurriedly replied, telling Shen Xuan what he knew.

"I see. Alright, Uncle Bai, go down first, I'll just go to the front hall by myself." Shen Xuan asked.

"Yes, Miss, this subordinate will leave." Hearing Shen Xuan's request, Butler Bai readily agreed. He has already explained what he should explain, so there is no need to stay.

Shen Xuan soon arrived at the front hall, where Du Qingcang and Shen Shuoxing chatted relatively happily.

"Brother Du, I'm back and I kept you waiting. I didn't know you were coming today. If I knew, I would definitely be waiting in the mansion." Shen Xuan yelled at Du Qingcang, explaining aloud while going go inside.

"It's okay, I came at the wrong time." Hearing Shen Xuan's voice, Du Qingcang turned his head quickly, and replied politely to Shen Xuan.

"Sister, you're back." Shen Shuoxing stood up, walked up to Shen Xuan and shouted.

"Well, my sister and Brother Du have something to discuss, so I should go back to my room first." Shen Xuan asked Shen Shuoxing bluntly.

"Okay, I see." Hearing Shen Xuan's request, Shen Shuoxing readily agreed.Turning to Du Qingcang, he said, "Brother Du, my younger brother left first."

"Okay, go to the mansion to play when I have time, and my second brother still misses you often." Du Qingcang replied that the relationship between Du Qingyu and Shen Shuoxing is indeed relatively good.

"Understood, Brother Du, I will go to Second Brother Du when I have time." Shen Shuoxing replied, then turned and left.

Recently, Shen Shuoxing's schedule is relatively tight. In addition to studying the homework that Shen Xuan ordered for him, he also has to learn the art of Gu poison in private, so he has no extra time to play.Shen Shuoxing hasn't been out of the house for a long time, how can he have time to find Du Qingyu!

After Shen Shuoxing left, Shen Xuan ordered the servant girls Yun Shu and Li Luo to guard outside the door, and she wanted to have a good chat with Du Qingcang.

"Brother Du, have you seen Mr. Lin recently?" Shen Xuan took a few sips of tea.After moisturizing his throat, he asked directly.

Hearing Shen Xuan's question, and suddenly hearing Shen Xuan's question about Lin Pengfei, Du Qingcang had a lot of thoughts in his heart, adjusted his mentality, and then said weakly, "Little sister, you also know?"

"Know what?" Hearing Du Qingcang's rhetorical question, Shen Xuan asked in a puzzled tone.

Hearing Shen Xuan's question again, and seeing that Shen Xuan's face didn't look like a fake expression, Du Qingcang's eyes became confused, and he said, "Didn't my little sister ask about Pengfei just now? Could it be that my little sister Didn't you hear the news that Pengfei is missing?"

After listening to Du Qingcang's answer, the two realized that what they wanted to say was not the same thing.Hearing the news of Lin Pengfei's disappearance, Shen Xuan had some guesses in her heart, and continued to ask, "When did you disappear?"

"It disappeared after August [-]th. I went to the other courtyard to see their siblings that day. Within three days, someone from the other courtyard reported that Pengfei was missing. I have been missing for a few days. I'm busy looking for someone, and Li Xue is too worried about this matter to eat." Du Qingcang replied helplessly, he had been physically and mentally exhausted these past few days, besides looking for someone, he also wanted to comfort Lin Lixue.

"But found it? Is there any clue?" Shen Xuan asked aloud.

Du Qingcang shook his head and said, "There are no clues, and I don't know what happened. My little sister also knows Pengfei's identity. Even if he disappeared, we can't send too many people to look for him."

Thinking of Lin Pengfei's identity, Shen Xuan continued to ask, "Does the emperor know about this?"

Hearing Shen Xuan's question, Du Qingcang shook his head and replied, "This matter hasn't been reported yet. I haven't figured out what the emperor means after so long. I don't know how to arrange Pengfei."

Shen Xuan put down the teacup, and said to Du Qingcang in a serious tone, "Brother Du also said to report this matter as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Why? If the emperor knows about this, it will happen in the future." Du Qingcang asked aloud, and he didn't want to report this matter to the court for the time being. In private, Lin Pengfei is his brother-in-law. In public, Lin Pengfei's The identity is there, if the court finds out, the matter will become a big deal.

Shen Xuan understood Du Qingcang's thoughts, interrupted him, and explained, "I understand Brother Du's thoughts, but this matter is beyond what Brother Du can solve."

Seeing Du Qingcang was puzzled.With an inquiring look, Shen Xuan continued to explain aloud, "The disease in Longfeng Town was actually caused by the technique of Gu poison, and several people were involved behind it. At that time..."

It took Shen Xuan two quarters of an hour to tell the whole story of Longfeng Town, including what she knew about Lin Pengfei and the truth behind Lin Pengfei's disappearance.

After listening to Shen Xuan's explanation, Du Qingcang fell into deep thought. He had no idea about Lin Pengfei's desire to restore the country. Now he was worried whether Lin Lixue knew about it?If they know, then the two are cooperating to deceive him. If the court finds out about this matter, the entire General's Mansion will be implicated.If Lin Lixue didn't know, how sad she would be when she found out about these things one day.
