"Chunhua Qiuyue, there is something I need to do. It may take two days before I come back. You can hide it for me!"
Shen Youwei had a bold idea in her mind and immediately went to see it.
Chunhua Qiuyue's expression changed greatly when she heard this. They knew the character of their young lady. It would take two days to go back to do something, which was definitely a big deal.
"Miss, you'd better not go out. There's a drought everywhere now, and many people are running out of water. If something happens to you when you go out at this time, we can't afford it."
"Yes, Miss, you should just go to the fields and look at the reservoir as my uncle said."
Although they don't know what their young lady is going to do, their intuition tells them that they cannot let the young lady leave!
But with what kind of temper Shen Youwei has, how could she listen to two maids?
"Okay, I have decided, I am telling you, not discussing with you!"
After speaking, Shen Youwei turned around and walked out.
Chunhua Qiuyue hurriedly chased after Shen Youwei, but they could not catch up with Shen Youwei. When they reached the door of the house, they saw their young lady leaving on horseback.
"This is how to do ah?"
"How about informing the master?"
"No, if I let the master know that the young lady is traveling far away, he will have to break our legs."
"Then... let's wait until my uncle comes back."
They would not dare to tell Shen Zhennan this kind of thing casually.
Shen Zhennan only has a daughter like Shen Youwei. He would definitely be angry if Shen Youwei traveled far away.
It would be better to wait for my uncle, who has a good temper and a lot of ideas, to come back and deal with this matter.
On this side, Su Cheng took the servants of the Shen Mansion, each pushing a cart to the place where the mountain spring water was found yesterday.
They filled the buckets with water and carried them to the cart, then pushed the cart back into the city.
This trip, plus the time to fetch water and rest on the way, took a whole day.
By the time Su Cheng led the people back to Shen Mansion, the sky had darkened.
As usual, there were two large lanterns hung in Shen's Mansion, and there were still four people guarding the door.
The difference is that tonight Chunhua and Qiuyue are also at the door.
As soon as Su Cheng got closer, he saw the anxious look on the faces of the two women.
For some reason, Su Cheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Why are the spring flowers and autumn moon here?
Shouldn't they be with their wives?
Also, why do they have anxious looks on their faces?
Could it be...that something happened to the lady?
His face sank, Su Cheng quickly went up and asked: "Chunhua Qiuyue, I didn't ask you to take care of my wife, where is she?"
"Uncle, let's... let's go inside and talk." Chunhua was frightened by Su Cheng's serious look, and she was timid even when she spoke.
This time, Su Cheng became more determined in his thoughts.
If it hadn't been for Shen Youwei's accident, Chunhua would never have shown such an expression.
"You guys take the water to the kitchen first!"
"You two come with me!"
Su Cheng warned his servants and then walked towards his yard. Chunhua and Qiuyue quickly followed behind.
Arriving in the backyard, under the dark night, Su Cheng looked at Chun Hua Qiu Yue and the two of them solemnly and asked, "Can we talk now?"
"Uncle, Miss...she said she was going out for a trip, and she said she wouldn't be back until two days later, and she wouldn't let us follow her."
"We don't dare to tell the master, we can only wait until you come back to tell you."
Chunhua Qiuyue explained the matter clearly with just one sentence.
Su Cheng couldn't sit still when he heard that his wife was not at home, and that she was traveling far away and would not come back until two days later.
Although Shen Youwei usually behaves like a young lady and talks coldly to him, he knows that Shen Youwei actually has a good impression of him.
Moreover, the two were already married, and he would not allow his wife to have an accident.
There is a drought everywhere now, and some people can no longer drink water. Under such circumstances, those people can do anything.
If Shen Youwei is not found immediately, what if something happens...
Su Cheng didn't dare to think any further!
The most important thing at the moment is to know where Shen Youwei went!
Everything is fine, why does Shen Youwei suddenly want to go out?
Just as Su Cheng was deep in thought, Shen Zhennan's voice suddenly came from outside the yard: "Hahahaha, my dear son-in-law, our Shen family's fields have all been watered today!"
Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.
Then, Shen Zhennan walked into the courtyard from outside carrying two jars of wine with an excited look on his face.
Thanks to Su Cheng's efforts in digging the reservoir in advance, the Shen family had more than enough water to irrigate their fields.
Shen Zhennan went down to check it out in person today. The rice is growing well and has many more ears than ordinary rice.
As long as it lasts for a few days, the rice won't require much water, and the Shen family will not be short of the food they need during the drought.
In a good mood, Shen Zhennan came over to find Su Cheng and planned to have a drink together.
But when he arrived in the yard, Shen Zhennan didn't see his daughter Shen Youwei, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Huh? Where is Weiwei?" Shen Zhennan asked Su Cheng and the others with a confused look on his face.
Chunhua Qiuyue felt guilty, lowering her head and not daring to speak.
Whatever they say about this kind of thing is wrong and will be punished.
Seeing this, Su Cheng knew that if he didn't know how to stand up, Chunhua Qiuyue might not be able to pass this test.
"Father, my wife said she was going out for a trip, and she said she wouldn't be back until two days later."
"Bang..." The wine jar in Shen Zhennan's hand fell directly to the ground.
Drinks were spilled all over the floor.
Just like Shen Zhennan's panic mood at this moment.
"Weiwei...she went out, and she said she wouldn't be back until two days later?"
Shen Zhennan found it difficult to accept this for a moment and froze on the spot.
After a moment, Shen Zhennan came back to his senses, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, staring at Chunhua and Qiuyue!
"You two tell me the truth, where has Weiwei gone?"
Su Cheng took people to the mountains today and just came back now. Shen Zhennan knows these things, and of course he can't blame Su Cheng on them.
Chunhua and Qiuyue are Shen Youwei's personal maids. Now that Shen Youwei is away, of course they have to look for them!
The angry Shen Zhennan was like an angry lion, so frightened that Chunhua Qiuyue quickly fell to her knees on the ground.
"Sir, please forgive me. The lady didn't say where she was going. She left on horseback after leaving the house."
"The young lady didn't let us follow and deliberately left us behind."
Although the two girls tried their best to explain, Shen Zhennan, who was so eager to be a lovely girl, would not listen. Hearing this, he became furious:
"If you two don't take good care of me, young lady, and you still dare to quibble, I'll break your legs!"
Shen Zhennan, who was usually kind, finally showed anger after Ni Lin was touched.
Seeing this, Su Cheng quickly persuaded: "Father, this matter really has nothing to do with them!"
"The top priority is to find the ladies first. If we keep them, we might be able to get them to help in the search."
"Actually, I've already made a bold guess. Judging from the lady's two-day trip, she won't go too far this time."
"Coming back in two days means that the journey is only two days round trip!"
"Father, please think carefully, starting from our side, where can we reach in one day? Are there any relatives of our Shen family there?"
Getting angry is not the solution to the problem. The most important thing now is to find Shen Youwei!
Shen Zhennan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then said: "If we ride a horse, we can reach Xincheng County next door in one day."
As soon as he heard the word Xincheng County, Su Cheng's expression suddenly changed.
"No, my wife must be in trouble with the Xincheng County Magistrate!"
Now the problem is big. If Shen Youwei really goes to trouble the county magistrate, the Shen family will face disaster!
