Aunt Li was startled when she heard this, and then she realized it was Mr. Shen!
Thinking of this, she became angry, and then she said fiercely, "Tsk, it's different now that you are rich. You can even ride in the carriage. This horse is the easiest to be frightened. If it lifts its hoof one day, it will die. I don’t know how he died!”
People in the car happened to be passing by and overheard the conversation between the two people. Aunts Gu and Chen were secretly speechless and almost opened the curtain to curse, but Shen Yue stopped them.
"Aunt, there is no need to argue with people like them. I often hear the old people in the village say that people who often gossip behind their backs are most likely to have bad words." Shen Yue lowered the curtain and smelled the invisible white powder dissipating in the wind. .
The words were neither too loud nor too small, and they happened to fall in Aunt Li's ears.
Second Aunt Li shivered, and her mouth felt really itchy. Unwilling to admit defeat, she was about to have a good argument with Shen Yue. As soon as she raised her feet, the image of Shen's shrew that day appeared in her mind.
Second Aunt Li suppressed her displeasure, took her things, snorted and walked towards home.
"I can't kill you." Seeing this, Aunt Li spat on the ground again and followed Aunt Li home.
…
The Chen family was close, so Shen Yue and the others first arrived at the Chen family's aunt's house, and they walked straight towards the backyard.
Puffballs are best picked in the morning, but now that they are ripe, they should not be kept for too long.
As soon as I arrived in the backyard, I saw puffballs with their mouths opened one after another. They may have been moistened by chemical fertilizer water. Although they were not as big as the mushroom field behind Luo's house, puffballs as big as a pot were not too small.
Shen Yue carried the small jar and was about to pick it.
The two aunts and Luo Mu followed closely behind.
…
Qingshui Town.
Next to the house at the foot of the mountain, sitting north and facing south, the surroundings are silent.
In the center of the house, a slender man sat in the middle of the pavilion.
There was freshly brewed tea on the table, and the mist was still slowly rising.
The man was dressed in a dark satin robe, and his back alone made people dare not approach him easily, giving him a sense of oppression without anger or authority.
At this moment, his face was covered with frost, his eyes were slightly narrowed, as if something was bothering him, his thin lips were pursed slightly, and his expression was slightly solemn.
If I hadn't seen the sharp-jointed hands groping for the jade pendant around his waist, I might have thought he had fallen asleep.
However, this peace did not last long, and soon a man in black clothes with an urgent look passed behind him.
Suddenly, the atmosphere around the man seemed to drop by another degree. The man in black clothes seemed to be hesitant and did not dare to step forward.
There was a moment of silence between the two of them. After a while, Mo Xuanshang didn't hear the complaint from the person behind him, and he started to become a little impatient.
His brows were furrowed, and the expression on his face became colder and colder, "Get out!"
The man in Xuanyi was startled by Mo Xuanshang's sudden icy voice, and his legs immediately softened and he knelt on the ground, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I...I have been looking for a long time, but nothing matches the description." The woman...please forgive me..."
These words made Mo Xuanshang's narrowed eyes suddenly open. He turned around and the frost in his eyes seemed to freeze him alive, and his voice also had a cold murderous intent, "Oh? Ben The king didn’t hear clearly.”
The man in Xuanyi trembled when he heard this. He knew that the prince was angry, but he could only tell the truth, "I beg the prince for mercy. I am derelict in my duty."
"Bang!" Mo Xuanshang slapped his palm on the stone table. In an instant, the stone table shattered and gravel flew everywhere.
Immediately, he raised his feet and walked in front of the man in Xuanyi.
Before the other party could react, the hand that had been fumbling with the jade pendant just now had already pinched the guard's neck.
Mo Xuanshang stared at the guard with half-squinted eyes, "I have given you three days."
The hands continued to apply strength, making the man in Xuanyi unable to say anything for a moment, and could only let out painful sobs.
"I don't leave any waste around me!" Mo Xuanshang threw the person in his hand out in disgust.
The man in black clothes flew far away and hit a wall before stopping. The blood he was holding in his throat spit out on the grass. He trembled and tried to get up from the ground, but he had no strength at all. His arms
He fell softly to the ground.
"It's taken care of, let Xuan Yi take over his position." After saying this, Mo Xuanshang raised his hand and greeted him.
A man in black clothes wearing the same clothes immediately walked out of the darkness. He half-knelt in front of Mo Xuanshang respectfully and said, "Yes!"
Mo Xuanshang turned around and stopped looking this way. This loser had wasted his time for three days.
After receiving the instruction, the man in Xuanyi approached the man on the ground. At this time, Xuanyi's eyes were full of fear and he kept shaking his head and praying, but the man showed no mercy at all.
The moment he raised his hand, Xuan Yi fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and blood began to pour from his neck.
"This incident should serve as a warning. If others are as incompetent as him, the consequences will not be so simple."
There was no emotion on Mo Xuanshang's face, but his tone made people shudder.
"Yes, I will handle it now."
The man in Xuanyi skillfully tidied up the body of the guard. When he looked at it again, it was as clean as if nothing had happened.
Mo Xuanshang played with the jade pendant in his hand, becoming more and more curious about his 'savior'.
A royal jade pendant can be recognized by anyone with a discerning eye.
Why did this person save him without asking for anything in return, and even helped him hide his whereabouts?
Really... interestingly tight...
The day to return to Beijing was approaching soon, but in the past three days, no clues could be found.
He looked up at the clear sky and couldn't help but murmured, "It's really easy to find..."
…
The second day.
Mo Xuanshang was leaning on the couch beside the pavilion, feeling gradually agitated as he listened to the replies from those Xuanyi.
"Reporting to the prince, the north has been searched and there is no trace of this girl."
"Reporting to the prince, I have also searched in the south and found no trace."
"Reporting to the prince, I haven't found it in any shop in town."
Mo Xuanshang's face was filled with gloom, he stood up and waved, and the imperial concubine's couch beneath him instantly turned into powder.
They are all a bunch of trash!
There are so many people, not even a woman can be found!
What's the use of raising them?
In the darkness, a few Xuan Yi looked at them and carried them away.
…
The third day.
Throughout the morning, Mo Xuanshang's patience was almost worn out, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
At noon, the man in black clothes quietly came to Mo Xuanshang and half-knelt in front of him.
Different from the previous Xuanyi, this person has a delicate black bird pattern embroidered on his shoulder.
Presumably this person is Xuan Yi.
"Your Majesty, too much time has been wasted here. It's time for us to return to the capital." Xuan Yi said respectfully.
Only then did Mo Xuanshang's thoughts come back. He looked at Xuan Yi in front of him in a daze and sighed softly.
