Chapter 323: Shameful, Beloved
Zhao Mingyan could have walked away, but he still stopped because of these three soft words and followed her wishes.
This is the first time he has been so shameless and wants to hide in the closet.
This cabinet is quite neat, but it is a little short. Given his size, he has to bow his head and bend down to stand upright.
Su Xiang's footsteps were at the door. Ji Qingwu couldn't think of a better way for the time being. She closed her palms and bowed to him. She could only wrong the giant Buddha first.
There was an undercurrent in Zhao Mingyan's eyes.
Just as she was about to close the cabinet door, an arm reached out and pulled her in.
Ji Qingwu saw the cabinet door in front of him, closed it lightly, and his whole body fell into darkness.
At this time, the door was also pushed open.
Wei Tongyou recalled the words and deeds of the short maid, she should be lively and chattering, so she greeted her loudly, and then followed the example of the maid at home, lowering her head and opening the door for Su Fengyue.
The door of the room was open. Su Fengyue stood at the door and stopped, as if he noticed something strange.
Wei Tongyou’s heart tightened.
Su Fengyue said: "Why isn't Hanzhang here?"
Wei Tongyou raised his head and looked inside along the door, and Ji Qingwu was indeed not inside.
Taken away? She lowered her head to hide the panic in her eyes.
"The master's stew is missing an ingredient. Sister Hanzhang went to the backyard kitchen and watched the cook make it again."
Su Fengyue nodded solemnly and had no time to ask more about the whereabouts of the maids.
From the moment he got off the carriage and stepped into the door of the mansion, he looked worried, not as peaceful as he was in front of outsiders.
I don’t know if it’s because my beloved daughter died early or for other reasons.
Su Fengyue was followed by a middle-aged man wearing navy blue clothes.
The middle-aged man glanced at Wei Tongyou, Su Fengyue raised his hand and said: "Nongying, you go down first."
Wei Tongyou has seen this kind of scene many times in the Wei family, and this man is well dressed. The shrewd businessman in his eyes must be the housekeeper of the mansion.
If the two of them want to discuss something secret, all the servants will stay away.
Wei Tongyou bowed his head and said yes, then left quickly and walked outside the courtyard door.
The middle-aged man looked outside, closed the door, and followed Su Fengyue to the main hall of the house.
When walking through the flower hall, there was nothing unusual about the lockers on the side, and no one would have guessed that there were two people hiding inside.
Su Fengyue took out a scroll from the scroll vat and kept it at hand without opening it.
Ask: "Shang Rong, how did you go about the things assigned to you?"
The identity of the middle-aged man is exactly as Wei Tongyou thought. He is the housekeeper of the mansion, named His name is Shang Rong.
Because the errand was not done well, he did not dare to look directly at Su Fengyue.
He lowered his neck and said: "Sir, my subordinates have sent people to search the whole house and the places where you move, but they have not been found."
Su Fengyue said gloomily: " I have always carried that thing with me. I have thought about it many times. The only accident that day was that the horse in the carriage I was riding in was suddenly frightened. "
Shang Rong said: "I went to investigate and it was the horse. While my son was waiting at the door of Song's house, he happened to By chance, I was bitten by a stray wild dog on the roadside. On the way home, rabies suddenly broke out and I ran wildly. I almost accidentally injured an adult. The horse has been disposed of. "
Su Fengyue's hand pinched the scroll until it was deformed, and said: "I don't believe such a coincidence. Someone must be trying to harm me behind my back."
After so many years of ups and downs in officialdom, Su Fengyue didn't believe it. Unfounded coincidence, I just believe that everything is man-made. "If you send someone to investigate again, you must find out the person behind the scenes."
Shang Rong lowered his head in embarrassment. He had already interrogated the nearby residents and found that no suspicious person appeared.
Su Fengyue continued: "You know how important that thing is to me. If I can't find it back within three days."
Shang Rong's face turned pale with fright, and he agreed: "I know that I will definitely find my beloved thing for you."
Su Fengyue asked again: "Have any suspicious people been to the woodshed these days?"
Shang Rong said immediately: "No, no one has been near the woodshed. Don't worry, that place is hidden and will not be discovered."
Su Fengyue took a long breath, then grabbed his hand and transformed it The scroll was opened, revealing a portrait of a woman.
The portraits in this vat were all painted by Su Fengyue himself.
But this portrait was painted recently by him. The woman is wearing a cyan veil and tulle of the same color, with a voluptuous figure.
The expression on his face cannot be clearly seen, only a pair of loving eyes.
Shang Rong whispered: "A few days ago, Lord Liu heard that you had another favorite, so he sent new goods according to that person's appearance. Would you like to enjoy it, so as to relieve your fatigue?"
< br>Su Fengyue stared at the eyes in the portrait, his cloudy eyes shining with light.
"He is a sensible person. Don't rush now. King Yong will come over in a while."
Shang Rong said in surprise: "Is King Yong going to surrender to you?"< br>
What did he think of? He said: "But didn't you agree with the fourth prince of Xijin that after the emperor dies and the younger prince ascends the throne, you will take the opportunity to create a big chaos, cooperate with Xijinli Yingwai, let Xijin's army and horses enter the city, and wash away the blood of the royal family? .”
Su Fengyue said: "There is no reason to put these eggs in one basket."
This was just their previous plan, or Yuwen Tianqing's wishful plan.
Nowadays, in Su Fengyue's position, there are many people who want to please him.
Su Fengyue wanted Yuwen Tianqing to understand that besides him, he had many choices.
Shang Rong said: "The master is right. Yuwen Tianqing has been hiding in the old house these days, and his food and supplies are all from our Su family, but he is ungrateful and dares to threaten the master, please hurry up and do something." , I don’t know how hard it is for you to work day and night in court, but he is just an ignorant white-eyed wolf.”
When Su Fengyue heard the housekeeper say something bad about Yuwen Tianqing, his gray eyebrows furrowed and he scolded with a gloomy face.
"No matter how bad he is, he is still her son. Don't let me hear you say these words again."
Shang Rong pursed his lips, knowing that anyone who comes close to Yuwen Tianqing will When it came to my mother, the master seemed to be a different person and didn't say anything more.
Su Fengyue said: "You have to make it a top priority to find the thing. If you can't find it within three days, I'm asking only you. You can go down first."
Shang Rong walked out of the house and found nothing wrong with the cabinet at the door.
But there was something very wrong with Ji Qingwu in the cabinet.
There are some sundries such as flowerpots, bottles, and jars stored in this cabinet, and there is not much room for walking.
After Ji Qingwu was pulled in, her center of gravity was already unstable and she was jumping forward. She could only hold the emperor's chest with both hands to steady herself.
She was afraid that she would make a sound if she moved and hit something, so she kept in this position.
The height of this cabinet is just right for her stature, so she doesn’t need to bow down or bend over.
After the cabinet door was closed, Su Fengyue and the two entered, and Ji Qingwu was even more nervous and did not dare to move.
