Chapter 788: Missing wedding gift

Gone
When Pei Yuanxiu came in a hurry, his clothes were still a little messy, and his hair was wet. Obviously, he was in a hurry when he was halfway through the bath. At a glance, he saw me with a pale face and a desperate me.
I looked up at him, everyone was shaking and couldn't say a word.
As soon as he reached out, he hugged me, feeling the trembling in his arms: "What's going on? What's the matter with him?"
"Lier ..." As soon as I spoke, my voice was almost fragmented: "She is gone, Lier is gone ..."
" ?!" He frowned, and immediately turned to look at the people around him. The maid and maid who had been running around the house and shouted Lier looked at him like this, and was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "Gongzishu crime."
He looked at those people with a calm face and said, "What's going on, say!"
Those people were afraid to speak, but only the two maids who served Lier kneeled on the ground, and said with a pale face: "Son, we came to serve Miss Li to get up this morning, but we knocked on the door for a long time. There was no sound. Later, the lady came to open the door and realized that Miss Li was missing. "
"Where did Miss Li go?"
"This-the slaves don't know."
"Did someone rob Miss Li?"
"... Slaves, slaves don't know."
"When did Miss Li disappear? Don't let me hear the third 'I don't know'."
He wasn't angry, even the expression on his face wasn't angry, but the calm tone of the voice made the people around him even more frightened. The two maids almost fainted, and their thin shoulders kept twitching. Tremble. Seeing this, I hurriedly said, "Is Miss Li still in the house last night?"
The two nodded as if smashing garlic: "Yes, here!"
"Yes, Miss Li slept very early last night, and the slaves served the Miss to sleep."
She was still there last night, that is to say, something happened in the evening to now. The question is, did someone rob her, or did she run away by herself?
My heart was entangled together, grasping Pei Yuanxiu's hand could not help but almost broke his skin. He didn't seem to feel any pain, soothing me softly: "You don't need to be in a hurry, it's okay." After talking, he raised his head and said to the guards around him: "You search immediately, every place in the house, every outside You'll have to find it all the way. Be sure to get me back! "
"Yes!"
The men took their orders and hurriedly turned away. Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me again and said softly, "Don't worry, you will find it. You go back to rest first."
I shook my head without saying a word, but walked towards the main hall with a pale face.
Just a moment after sitting down, the two sisters of the Han family came.
I have n’t seen them again in the past few days after my wedding. In fact, I have n’t met them before my wedding. Naturally it is also embarrassing and avoiding suspicion. But in the same house, I will see you again. Just didn't expect it to be in such a situation. Han Ruoshi's face was tired and looked a little bit worse than me, but Han Zitong came in frowning. When he saw me sitting on a chair, a little anger flashed on his face, sneer: "Your daughter Gone, you are as stable as Mount Tai! "
Han Ruoshi pulled her sleeve: "Zi Tong, don't say that. She-she's sad too."
"I'm wrong?" Han Zitong looked at Han Ruoshi's pale and weak look, and looked at my indifferent eyes, more and more furious, and said, "What is she sad about? Newlywed Yan, it's too late to be happy. What. Have you ever seen a mother-in-law who only plays on her own every day and doesn't even look at her daughter? Now that she's gone, she doesn't even look for it, so sad? "
"Zitong, don't do this ..."
I haven't had much movement. At this time, I looked up and looked at her angrily. Then I looked at Han Ruoshi who was only comforting her, and said calmly, "You can also go out and find out, and come here and tell me immediately. "
"You—" Han Zitong was furious: "What do you think of us?"
Han Ruoshi's face also froze, grasping Han Zitong's hand joints and making white. At this moment, Pei Yuanxiu walked in from outside. As soon as Han Ruoshi saw him, he hurried Han Zitong aside and said gently, "You don't want to do this, sister Qingying is already very sad."
Pei Yuanxiu glanced at them, especially Han Zitong, who was still angry on his face, but said nothing. He just walked in front of me and said, "Be assured, I have sent everyone out, no matter where, I have to let someone find her! "
I didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
I was so cold that my face was just a little warm and flushed from the warm bath soup, and now it was pale as snow. When I saw that I was shaking so much, Pei Yuanxiu said nothing but stood beside me. , Gently took me into my arms, comforted softly: "Don't worry, don't worry."
I didn't speak, but my teeth were burping lightly.
I ... I can't help but worry ...
If Lier really ran out by herself, she was so big, and the people sent out were enough to get her back. If she was wayward and awkward, I could also comfort her slowly and let her change her mind and stop being angry.
but--
Just in case she was taken away--
Who arrested her? What was the purpose of taking her away? Will it hurt her? Will my daughter be scared now, will she--
My heart seemed to be roasted on a low fire. Every breath was tormented, and my internal organs were almost tortured. Time passed little by little, and people who searched from near to far also returned news.
No.
No.
still none.
My face is getting paler and my fingers are getting colder and colder, even if Pei Yuanxiu clenches firmly in the palm, there is no way to warm up.
Until the evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun seemed to ignite a fire across the earth. I sat on a chair and watched the fiery cloud sky outside the door. The whole person was almost burned. Pei Yuanxiu was always with me, looking dull, and the two sisters of the Han family were sitting next to each other. Han Ruoshi coughed from time to time, but Han Zitong kept calm and did not speak.
At this moment, the last guard commanded to run in. He was about to salute, and Pei Yuanxiu had already said, "Where is the child?"
The leader glanced at me and said carefully: "My son, our people have searched every street, not even the alleys, and we have asked about the houses, but there is no whereabouts of Miss Li . "
My heart sank.
Pei Yuanxiu also frowned, at this time Han Zitong had stood up and said, "She can never be out of town. She is so small, how could she even find it in a day?"
Han Ruoshi also said gently: "Yeah. Lie is still so young, will it be-was really taken away by the puppet? Have you checked the news in this regard?"
Pei Yuanxiu hasn't spoken. He looked down at me so pale that he didn't have a trace of blood on his face, and was about to say something to me. Suddenly, another attendant ran outside and saluted us: . "
Pei Yuan Xiu said: "What is it?"
"There is a person outside to make a request."
"Let's make it?" Pei Yuanxiu frowned and looked down at me. I suddenly felt as if I felt something. I hurriedly stood up holding the handrail and asked, "Where's the messenger? Is there any news of leaving?" ? "
The attendant shook his head and said, "Here, he did not mention the matter of Miss Li, but he said that there was a gift to his wife to congratulate the wedding."
As soon as I heard it, the spirit that had just been a little bit uplifted and collapsed again, and Pei Yuanxiu waved his hand lightly: "Anything you arrange."
He said so, but the attendant did not take the order, but he took a moment, Pei Yuanxiu looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"
The attendant said cautiously, "My son, come here-it's Nishikawa."
"...!"
Pei Yuanxiu and I were breathing tightly.
Not only me and him, but Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong next looked at each other in surprise, and immediately looked at me. I was also unbelievable: "Is Xichuan here? Who is it?-"
"Not the previous two."
"So, what congratulations did he say?"
Having said that, Pei Yuanxiu also looked right and said, "Bring him in."
The attendant immediately took the lead, and after a while, I heard footsteps coming from the outside. As soon as I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man carrying a cloth bag and following in the attendant.
This man is not tall, and he looks very strong and capable. About 40 years old, a Tsing Yi wide-sleeved wide robe looks like a dusty servant. He carries a long bag on his back and fastens it around his chest. There is no such place as "come to make", it is more like a walker. He walked to the middle of the hall, and when he saw me, he immediately leaned down deeply, and arched his hand in an ancient ceremony: "Miss."
The people around were stiffened.
My identity was no longer a secret when I banqueted Pei Yuanfeng and Xue Muhua, but in these years, I have stayed in the status quo and never mentioned those prominent pasts, not only myself, but also the consciousness of people around me. Gradually fade my history. But now, when a Xichuan came to call me such a blatant lady, I once again had everything that I wanted to hide and want to forget was clearly before me.
The people around him had to be a little shocked, and Pei Yuanxiu's breath tightened.
The man saluted several others around him: "The villain met the son and the two princes."
I was in a hurry to ask, but before I spoke, Pei Yuanxiu gently stroked my hand, motioned me not to be nervous, and then said to the person, "Who are you?"
"Yan Zhong, the villain, was ordered by the owner of the Yan family in Xichuan to come and offer a wedding gift to the young lady."
"It's been seven days since we were newly married. It's too late for you to come here to give gifts."
"My son forgive me. The villain was supposed to arrive before the young lady got married, but because of some accidents on the road, these days were delayed.
After that, he took off the cloth bag on his back and took it apart, carefully took out a scroll from it, and raised his hands up to meet me in front of him. The congratulations handed to you are also expected to be accepted by Miss. "
I frowned.
My heart was full of things about Lieren, and it was already tormenting. Now, this person appears, is it a coincidence, or is it deliberate? He didn't mention anything about Lier, was he ignorant of it or was he trying to seduce my appetite and deliberately made me worry?
I can't guess and dare not guess.
As far as my daughter is concerned, I can still be calm and rational even if it seems on the surface, but I know that my heart has become completely chaotic and has become a mess. In the face of this person from Xichuan, I have no way to Think calmly.
and--
I looked down at the scroll he offered, it was a scroll.
Yan Qingchen's congratulatory gift is a painting?
Since Pei Yuanfeng and Xue Muhua returned, he has been quiet for a while. Even if Uncle Ai brought Susu to me, there was no big wave. When I was so quiet that I almost ignored him, he suddenly came to send a wedding. Congratulations.
Looking down at the scroll, although it has not been opened, but thinking that this is a gift from him, my newly-married, gift, thinking of the mood he used to send it, a chill sprang up.
What makes me nervous is--
Away.
As soon as he left, he sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, didn't he--
Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth, reached out to take the scroll, and slowly unfolded.
