Princess In Prosperous Age - C112 Accompanying the Play
Qiao Liangjin’s eyes were still closed, and he hadn’t rested for long when he heard someone talking loudly outside.
When Qiao Liangjin heard this, he smiled. It was the two sisters again. Very good, she could watch the show now.
After getting up and putting on a cloak, she wrapped her body tightly and pushed open the door. She saw Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er standing at the entrance, looking at her room.
Qiao Liangjin yawned. He did not bother to hide his sleepiness as he asked: “Is there anything?”
Qiao Yue-er quickly answered before Qiao Ya could. “Fifth Sister is gone!”
Qiao Liangjin was startled and then he laughed, “How is that possible? Fifth sister is so obedient and doesn’t like going out. How could she disappear?”
Qiao Ya coldly laughed and said, “Who knows which family’s man she might fall for and elope with her.”
Qiao Yue-er also nodded and said, “That’s right, that’s right. It’s not certain that we have a relationship with a servant or guard. He might have been kidnapped or sold to a brothel … “Aiya, the five sisters’ lives really aren’t good.”
When Qiao Liangjin heard these words, he smiled. This Qiao Yue-er was truly stupid to the point that she could do such a thing.
Qiao Ya lightly tugged Qiao Yue-er’s sleeve and lightly shook her head. Afterward, she put on an anxious expression and asked, “I wonder if big sister saw Fifth Sister? “I saw that Third Madame was already crying herself unconscious.”
Qiao Liangjin shook his head and said, “Such a big matter should be reported to an official. I’ll head over to Tranquil Heart Garden now. Ah Kuan, go to the Prefecture Overseer’s place and report this. Tell them that our Fifth Miss has gone missing. ”
When Qiao Yue-er heard that she was going to report the case, her face paled and she quickly said, “Elder sister …”
Afraid that Qiao Yue’er would say something stupid, Qiao Ya hastily interrupted her and said, “Big sister, father is an official too. Father is also the Prime Minister. “Besides, if something really happens to little sister, how will dad get a foothold in the imperial court in the future?”
These words were so beautiful that Qiao Liangjin couldn’t help but clap in his heart. What a good daughter, what a considerate daughter. All of this was for the face of the prime minister, all of this was for the face of the master.
Qiao Liangjin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: “That’s true, sister is right. It’s elder sister’s fault, we didn’t consider these things. Let’s do it this way, I’ll go back and change my clothes, and then we’ll go to the Tranquil Heart Garden to have a look. ”
Qiao Liangjin turned around and gave a cold laugh. She really couldn’t wait to see what kind of big show the Sisters would put on, and then to see how it would end.
After changing into a new set of clothes, Qiao Liangjin led Qiao Ya and Qiao Yue-er directly to Tranquil Heart Garden. Upon entering, they saw Ah Qing’s swollen eyes and her lips moved slightly when she saw Qiao Liangjin.
Qiao Liangjin waved his hand to indicate that he understood and walked over to the bedside. At this time, Guo Caiting was leaning against the headboard, looking at Qiao Liangjin with a hopeless look.
Qiao Liangjin sat down and sighed. He said, “Aunt, I will do my best to find Xin Ting. Don’t worry.”
Guo Caiting nodded, raising the handkerchief again and wiping the corners of her eyes. Then, he said hoarsely, “Xin Ting has lived in the manor since she was young. She has never seen the world. Someone must have tricked her. If she wants to ransom …”
Qiao Liangjin continued, “Whatever he wants and what we want, it’s fine as long as Fifth Sister is fine.”
Qiao Yue’er indifferently stood at the side and said, “If I were to sell it to a brothel, it would be a waste …”
Hearing this, Guo Caiting’s eyes reddened, and she started crying again.
Qiao Liangjin gave Qiao Yue-er a fierce glare, patting Guo Caiting’s back as he consoled her in a low voice.
Not long after, Qiao Zheng and Chong Yuxin’s voices sounded from outside the door.
Once inside, Qiao Zheng looked at Guo Caiting and asked in dissatisfaction, “What’s going on?”
At the side, Chastity Heart did not miss an opportunity to say, “Master, don’t speak so loudly. Ol ‘Three is feeling sad right now.”
Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Zheng and asked with a frown, “Father, why have you only just arrived? Third Madame is about to die from sadness. I’ll tell the officials and my younger sisters say that we can’t report this. Sigh, I really have no idea.”
Zhen Zhen Xing heard Qiao Lianjin’s words and hurried forward to advise: “We are the dignified prime minister, how can we report to the officials? If we can’t find her the day after tomorrow, we can secretly ask the capital’s Prefecture Overseer to help us find her. ”
Qiao Zheng heard her words and also felt that it was reasonable. He nodded his head and agreed: “Alright then, let the servants look around first. Perhaps this little girl has had a good time and is sleeping somewhere else.”
The corner of Qiao Liangjin’s mouth raised slightly. He immediately cast it away and said with a bitter face, “If one day, it was my daughter who lost her, how can father be so calm and not report this matter to the government?”
Qiao Zheng was startled when Zhen Zhen Xin took over and smiled. “Jin’er, you are extremely intelligent. How could you lose her?”
On the other side, Qiao Yue-er said, “At most, you will lose face.”
Qiao Zheng’s expression immediately darkened.
Qiao Liangjin shot a glance at Qiao Yue-er and stuck out his tongue, making a shearing motion and scaring Qiao Yue-er into lowering her head.
Qiao Ya softly said, “Fifth Sister has been lost. No matter what, if we leave the Prime Minister’s house and lose all of our reputation, it will be difficult for us to get married in the future. How will we be able to save our face in the future …?” The news of the fifth young miss’ disappearance must not be spread out from this manor. ”
Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Ya in front of him. If he were to say that she was a complete black woman, then he would not allow Qiao Xinting to return to the residence. Or perhaps, he would hint to Qiao Zheng that he should deal with her in the dark. She even suspected that if Qiao Xinting had really been spoiled, would Qiao Zheng really do this.
Qiao Zheng knitted his eyebrows and looked at Guo Caiting who was sobbing on the bed, as well as his own daughter. He stared at himself with a thoughtful expression, then waved his hand and said: “Let us go find her first. No matter what, she is still my, Qiao Zheng’s daughter. We’ll find her first.”
These words made Qiao Xinting’s heart warm up slightly. Luckily, he did not let her down and did not give up on Qiao Xinting.
After settling down Guo Caiting, Qiao Liangjin led a few people out. Qiao Zheng led a group of people to the main hall.
When they arrived at the hall, Qiao Maoshan and Lin Fangli looked as if they had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Qiao Zheng’s group enter, Qiao Maoshan hurriedly went over and asked: “What’s the matter?” What’s wrong? Had someone at home lost it? Did Xin Ting elope with him? I’ve already said it before, that little girl looks like a fox. ”
Lin Fangli spat on the side, and said with an angry look, “So you’re saying that he’s almost fourteen years old, right? Then we can set up the husband’s house, and look at this, in the future, if anyone dares to take it, it’s better if we have a son. A son would only ruin his girl.”
As they were talking, the two of them started laughing as if they were taking advantage of something.
Qiao Liangjin could not hold it in any longer and walked up to the two of them. Qiao Maoshan seemed to remember Qiao Liangjin furiously slapping his son before taking two steps back and anxiously asking, “What are you doing?”
Qiao Liangjin pointed his finger at Qiao Maoshan’s shoulder and said: “Oh big spider!”
Qiao Maoshan looked in the direction Qiao Liangjin was pointing and immediately panicked. He didn’t know when, but he saw a massive black spider lying on his shoulder.
His legs gave way and he didn’t even dare to move his hands closer to his shoulders. A man sitting on the ground cried out, “Help …” This winter… “Where did this spider come from …”
Lin Fangli was even more terrified. She could only point at the spider and scream, but she didn’t dare to move forward to catch it.
Qiao Liangjin raised his head and saw Yu Sheng, who had transformed into a human form, yawning on the beam of the room. He blinked a few times.
Qiao Liangjin walked over and gently picked up the spider. He placed it in his hand, and the big spider crawled around in his palm.
Qiao Liangjin laughed, “It’s really weird, we can’t see these things in the winter, it’s really strange. To actually be able to see them today, does this mean that even the heavens can’t bear to see what you just said, Second Uncle?”
Qiao Liangjin’s eyes focused on Qiao Maoshan who was kneeling on the ground. Unexpectedly, there were some water stains on him, and she hid to the side in disgust. Covering her nose, she said: “Second Uncle, there are so many juniors here, yet you actually wet your pants …”
Qiao Maoshan was scared out of his wits by the giant spider, he had no time to care about his reputation. With great difficulty, Lin Fanli helped him up and left the hall in a hurry, leaving behind a puddle of liquid on the ground.
Qiao Zheng looked at the unknown liquid and frowned. He then called for the servant to wash the floor.
Qiao Liangjin stroked the spider in his hand as he smilingly extended his hand in front of Qiao Ya. “Little sister, are you afraid?”
Qiao Ya took a few steps back in disgust. She nodded and said, “Big Sis, it has such a terrifying appearance.”
Qiao Liangjin acted like he was holding a treasure and said: “Nonsense, do you know? In the biological world, the bigger you are, the less dangerous you are. You’ll have to be careful of the smaller ones. ”
Qiao Yue-er looked at the head of the large spider that seemed to have countless eyes staring at her, and felt as if she was about to vomit. She covered her mouth and rushed out of the hall with a wave of her hand.
At this time, Qiao Zheng could not be bothered with his eldest daughter’s pranks as he sat in the armchair, his finger lightly touching the armrest of the chair.
Chastity glared at Qiao Lianjin in disgust, but Qiao Liangjin didn’t buy her. At the same time, he gave her a look and waved back.
Qiao Liangjin kept the spider like it was a treasure. He turned around and looked at Qiao Zheng, “Father, do you think little sister will be able to find it? Do we know who was the last to see her? Father, could someone kidnap her? ”
Just as Qiao Zheng was about to speak, the voice of a chaste servant girl came through the door. “Oh no, this servant has found out where the Fifth Miss is.”
