Chu Yan was extremely embarrassed, touched his nose with some guilt, and said flatteringly: "I don't think there will be any results in this matter for a while, why don't you go back to your room to rest first, and I will send someone to notify you when there is news.
you?"
"That's fine." The old lady nodded.
She was too old to stay up late, and besides, this was a matter between the second room and the Caobang, so as long as it didn't affect the Chu family, she didn't bother to interfere.
As soon as the old lady left, Huating County Chief, Xue Jinxiu and others naturally took the opportunity to leave. Shi Chunfen sat in the hall and did not move. Weng Xiaohuan disappeared under her nose. If he was not found for a day, she was afraid that she would not be able to sleep all day.
The head of Huating County glanced at her and said coldly: "What's the use of sitting here? It's better to go back to the room and wait for news, and think about things quietly."
Hearing this, Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment and immediately stood up, "Yes, mother."
Chu Yan originally wanted Shi Chunfen to stay here and wait for Chu Ling to come back. Seeing that she was persuaded to leave by the head of Huating County, he couldn't stop her. He could only sit in the hall alone, sighing and waiting for the second room and Chu Ling.
information.
When the spring equinox came back to the courtyard, she didn't expect that the head of Huating County would take the initiative to speak for her tonight, which relieved her originally depressed mood a lot. But even so, she was still very worried about Weng Xiaohuan, fearing that something might happen to her.
I will never be able to face the Weng family in this life.
After waiting in the room for half an hour, Li Yan hurriedly came over to deliver the news to her, "Grandma, the Fourth Master is back."
"Really?" Shi Chunquin stood up excitedly, "What about Miss Weng? Are you with him?"
Li Yan shook her head, and Shi Chunfen sat down with a frustrated look.
But soon, she raised her head again and asked, "Where is the fourth master now? How did he react after learning about Miss Weng?"
Li Yan shook her head again, "As soon as he came back, he was called away by the second master, and even the first master didn't have time to question him."
"In this case..." Shi Chunfen frowned, "Then you go to the second room. As soon as you see the fourth master coming out, ask him to come here to find me and say that I have something to ask him."
"Okay." Li Yan nodded slightly, not daring to neglect, and immediately turned around.
As soon as she left, Shi Chunfen collapsed on the chair, and his expression became desperate.
If we weren't together with Chu Run, could something really happen?
While she was worried about Weng Xiaohuan, Chu Run was also shocked by the news and immediately went out to find Chu Ling and the others, preparing to look for Weng Xiaohuan with the Caogang people.
But how could Chu Shun let him go so easily? He quickly stopped him and said, "Don't be fooled. He is just a scholar and has no power to restrain a chicken. What help can you get from finding someone? Besides, you have a whole
If you haven't returned to the Chu family in the past few days, maybe the Weng family will be suspicious of you, and if you run over now, you are simply throwing yourself into a trap."
"No." Chu Run didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I haven't come back all day because I have been staying at the county magistrate's house. He has a few orphan books and he has been reluctant to lend them to others. He only allows me to come and read them. I
After watching it there for a day, all the county magistrate and his whole family can testify."
"In this way..." Chu Shun breathed a sigh of relief, but still refused to let him leave, "Then don't go either. People who are about to attend the Qiu Wei Festival are tired of going out all night to look for people. What if something really happens to Weng Xiaohuan?
Unexpectedly, your marriage to her happened to be over, and if you get involved at this time, you are just asking for trouble."
"Dad..." Chu Run frowned, "How can you think so? Xiaohuan is my fiancée. Not to mention that nothing has happened to her yet, even if something does happen, I should find a way. The right thing to do is to protect her, rather than break off the relationship with her at this time."
"What do you know?" Chu Shun said angrily: "She is from a girl's family. If she really encounters an accident, no matter whether there is an accident or not, her reputation will be ruined. You are going to be an official in the future, how can you tolerate this? Is there a big stain around you?"
Chu Run fell silent, he didn't expect this.
Although he wholeheartedly wanted to use the status of Caobang's son-in-law to help him get rid of the curse of a bastard, he had no intention of giving up his official career for this status.
After all, for a scholar, an official career is a career that can only be achieved through hard work. If he gives up easily, he will really become a freeloader.
Seeing that he didn't refute, Chu Shun sighed, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Dad knows that you are a gentleman, and I also know that you will not stand idly by, but since your eldest cousin has already come forward, why do you bother to go out into this muddy water again? ?It is better to sit at home and wait for the news, see how things turn out, and then make plans."
"No." Chu Run shook his head, "Just because I want to preserve my reputation, I must come forward as soon as possible, otherwise the whole Liuzhou will accuse me of being heartless and unlucky."
Chu Shun was stunned and dropped his arms, "That's true."
He looked at Chu Run with a helpless expression, "Okay then, you can go if you want, but remember what dad said, for the sake of your own career, you must not easily promise anything to Caobang, do you understand?"
Chu Run nodded quickly, "I know."
After finally getting rid of his father, Chu Run strode out of the yard, but was stopped by Li Yan again, "Fourth Master, my grandma invites you."
Chu Run frowned. He could probably guess why he was looking for him at this time of the Spring Equinox. Thinking that he had been delayed for so long, it was not less than an hour and a half, so he nodded and followed Li Yan. The yard at the vernal equinox.
"Lobby sister-in-law." Chu Run walked into the room, but she didn't have time to hand over her hand.
Shi Chunquin stood up and asked eagerly: "Where have you been today? Have you seen Xiaohuan?"
Chu Run frowned. When Shi Chunfen asked this question, he undoubtedly didn't believe his character, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to repeat what he had just said to Chu Shun to Shi Chunfen.
Hearing that he had a witness, Shi Chunfen lowered his head in disappointment and did not forget to apologize to him, "I'm sorry, because Xiaohuan disappeared in front of me, so I was a little anxious. Don't mind."
"It doesn't matter." Chu Run tugged at her lips, "Xiaohuan is my fiancée. It's rare that the hostess cares about her so much. I should feel grateful. How can I be angry?"
Seeing that he was still in the mood to say polite words in front of her, Shi Chunfen frowned, feeling more and more that Chu Run was a little hypocritical. She raised her eyes and looked at him and said directly: "Xiaohuan disappeared in front of me, don't you Will you blame me?"
Chu Run frowned, not understanding what Shi Chunfen meant by asking, "We are a family, and I naturally know the character of the hall sister-in-law. This matter must have nothing to do with you."
"Oh." Shi Chunquin responded dully.
Although this answer was reasonable, Chu Run was not worried about Weng Xiaohuan's safety at all, which still made her feel a little chilled.
He was still the gentle and jade-like young man in her eyes. He was restrained and cautious, but he was too cautious and seemed a little ruthless.
