Chapter 33 Master, you are really good at predicting things
.
When General Xiao heard about his little granddaughter, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
The spear in his hand was like a dragon making a beautiful turn in mid-air, and the carbine soared back into the air. The red tassel swept into the wind, and then slowly recovered after landing.
The old butler who was waiting on the side immediately stepped forward, handed over the clean handkerchief he had prepared, took the spear and placed it on the weapon rack behind him.
Mr. Xiao asked slowly while wiping the sweat from his face and neck.
"What did that man say?"
Nie Chen clasped his hands in his fists, walked forward quickly, leaned against the old general, and replied in a low voice.
"He confessed that someone indeed gave him five hundred taels of silver and ordered him to lead the two girls out of the inn in the name of Xiao Mansion and then out of Fengcheng."
"After leaving the city, follow the path to an abandoned mountain temple ten miles away."
"But he couldn't tell the name or appearance of the person behind the scenes."
Mr. Xiao nodded. Since he wanted to frame Xiao Mansion, the person behind the scenes would definitely try his best to hide his information. This person might not even be able to distinguish his voice.
"Who is the kidnapped girl? Have you found out?"
"My subordinates found out last night," Nie Chen replied, "the two girls are a pair of masters and servants. The master's surname is Zhou. He is from Linxian County, Xiaocheng. He entered Fengcheng yesterday. The purpose of this trip is to meet the young lady.
."
"According to the concierge's report, they came here three times yesterday but did not see the young lady. However, the carriage they were riding in was more conspicuous. Many people did see the carriage going back and forth along the way."
"The thief must have seen them going back and forth to the Xiao Mansion, and then he decided to implement such a vicious plan."
After listening to Nie Chen's report, Mr. Xiao was silent for a moment.
He turned to look at the old housekeeper and asked, "Where are these two people now?"
"The two girls should go to meet the young lady at this time."
The two girls had been begging to see the young lady as soon as they woke up in the morning. The old housekeeper would not wake up the sleeping young lady and disturb her dreams just because they were impatient.
He slept deeply last night, but he didn't know that the young lady went out to catch a thief in the middle of the night. He was already blaming himself and secretly warned himself to check more at night.
"Those two were very anxious, so the old slave had to order the girl Hehua to send the breakfast to the young lady's yard. I am afraid they are having dinner together at this moment."
"Little Gongsun woke up early today. He didn't see the young lady before, and he had a long quarrel with the old slave before he gave up."
Having said this, the old housekeeper couldn't help but smile lovingly.
When Mr. Xiao heard that his two lively children were fine, he burst out cheerfully.
In the small courtyard of Sumi Pavilion, three girls, two young and one young, are enjoying a spring breakfast in the courtyard.
Zhou Jingwan sat on the plum blossom stool with a dignified posture, her eyes lowered and a little reserved. This was her first time entering the palace of a military commander, and she was a little scared even when she looked up.
The whole person huddled on the small stool, eating breakfast in small bites.
Huan'er is more courageous than her.
She stood behind her lady, took a bite of the big white-faced steamed bun in her hand, glanced around with her black eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
This Xiao family is indeed not an ordinary family. Even in the yard of a young lady, the food she eats is much more exquisite than that of her own wife.
If she had the chance to take a look at the General's courtyard, she would probably be blinded.
Zhou Jingwan had something on her mind, so she only finished half a bowl of millet porridge and put down her chopsticks.
"Is this enough? Do you want to eat more?"
Su Qingtian was sitting on the other side of the Eight Immortals table, her little feet hanging in the air dangling comfortably. Meal time was probably the time when she felt happiest and satisfied.
The little girl bit into the oily big meat buns and said vaguely, "Grandpa has equipped me with a small kitchen. I can order whatever I want."
"No." Zhou Jingwan declined softly, "I thank you, Master."
Zhou Jingwan only had the memory of what happened last night when she got on the carriage, and what happened after that was all told by the maid of Xiao Mansion this morning.
Zhou Jingwan immediately broke into a cold sweat when she heard that the young lady of the Xiao Mansion was leading the soldiers to rescue her late at night.
She never thought that she would be kidnapped, nor did she expect that this little kid who was less than five years old was really a master of predicting things. Not only could he make calculations, but he could also save people from fire and water.
With a nervous mood, Zhou Jingwan waited for the meeting with the master early in the morning.
When she saw the master in person, it was still difficult for her to put little Su Qingtian into the role of rescuing people.
After all, this little girl is too young, and her chubby appearance makes her so cute.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible that he has the temperament to lead troops to save others.
Su Qingtian didn't care about Zhou Jingwan's thoughts. She stuffed all the buns into her mouth with a few slurps. The overflowing meaty aroma completely satisfied her taste buds, and her eyes were so happy that her eyes were bent.
After swallowing the meat bun, Su Qingtian looked at Miss Zhou in front of her with clear eyes.
The maid Hehua who was waiting on the side saw that the young lady had almost finished eating, so she stepped forward and wiped the corners of Su Qingtian's mouth and little hands with a wet handkerchief.
After cleaning up, he wisely exited the room and closed the door.
Seeing the maid leave, Zhou Jingwan finally eased her nervousness.
She did have something important to say to Su Qingtian, but she couldn't let anyone besides the master know about it.
Seeing Su Qingtian looking at her, Zhou Jingwan opened her mouth but didn't squeeze out a word for a long time.
This fact is really embarrassing for her, a girl who has not yet left the government.
What's more, you have to tell a little girl who is only five years old.
"Miss Zhou."
Seeing Zhou Jingwan in trouble, Su Qingtian said directly, "You came to Fengcheng to find me, but for Fang Junyao?"
Unexpectedly, Su Qingtian named this name directly. Zhou Jingwan and his servant were surprised and happy, looking at the little girl with bright eyes.
What Mrs. Hu said is indeed true. Although this young lady is still young, she has great abilities that ordinary people don't have.
"Master, you are really good at predicting things! I am here just for Fang Lang."
Su Qing nodded to show that she already understood, but her eyes couldn't help but drift to the last big meat bun left on the plate.
It smells so good...
But I was obviously full.
The little girl hesitated and held back.
She forced her eyes to turn to the young woman opposite, her voice was clear and soft.
"If I say that the young master of the Fang family is like this, what should you do?"
Su Qingtian's words instantly made Zhou Jingwan's face turn pale, and her originally gentle eyes gradually turned red.
Big tears quickly accumulated in her eyes, but Zhou Jingwan endured it again and again, preventing the tears from falling.
"My childhood sweetheart Fang Lang and I have a deep relationship. I don't believe that he would fall in love without any reason."
"If he really falls in love with another woman, tell the truth and I will not pester him again. It will never be unclear to him!"
"But if he is the person the master talks about, I will naturally cut off contact with him!"
