Chapter 32: The Past

After they walked away, Gong Meier came out from under the table. She twisted her neck. Her aggrievance just now made her feel uncomfortable. But Master Jiu was still sitting under the table without moving and did not speak. Gong Meier knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so she squatted down and looked at him.

"Young Master Nine, things have come to this point. Let's think of a solution."

Young Master Jiu could not hear what she said. His mind was full of his biological mother's background. Gong Meier had to pinch his arm, and it worked. Young Master Jiu screamed and his thoughts were pulled back.

"Bong Meier! It's fine if you bully me on weekdays, but why do you still dislike me when I encounter such a sad thing today?"

"Sorry is useless! Think about what we should do next!"

"We?" Young Master Jiu finally felt a little relieved when he heard this word. The meaning of Gong Meier's words was to accompany him to bear it.

"Yes, we can't sit still and wait for death. Could it be that we have to wait for those two bastards to kill General Xiao?"

Although Young Master Jiu is always against General Xiao, he still has feelings for this strict father. No matter what he did, he knows clearly that he is for his own good.

"Young Master Jiu, you are talking!" Seeing that he was silent, Gong Meier shook his arm.

Young Master Jiu gently pushed Gong Meier's hand away and came out from under the table. He walked to the position where Xiao Ye had just stood and picked up the clay wine glass. This wine glass was really ugly. The mouth of the glass was not round, and the bottom of the glass was also crooked. The wine glass was not even steadily placed. It was hard to imagine that such a wine glass was treasured by a big man like General Xiao for more than 20 years. How deep was he and Young Master Jiu's biological mother? Young Master Jiu put down the wine glass and turned his head and looked at Gong Meier gently.

"I decided to follow my father tomorrow and want to see my mother by the way. I will definitely stop him before he drinks. Meier, are you with me?"

"Of course, since I heard this secret, how could I stay out of it?"

At this time, the kitchen was very dark, but with the moonlight, Young Master Jiu could still see Gong Meier's face. There was a wave of spring water in her clear and clear eyes, her thin lips slightly raised, her skin was fair and her smile was sweet. Young Master Jiu had already built an island for her in his heart. He wanted to live with her on that island, away from the troubles of the world. But there were too many bonds in this world, and he was entangled in it and could not break free.

On the second day, Young Master Jiu and Gong Meier both got up very early, and they hid in the sedan chair that General Xiao usually rode. They just waited left and right, but there was no sign of General Xiao.

"Hey, are you sure General Xiao will ride in the sedan chair?" Gong Meier and Young Master Jiu were lying under the seat in the sedan chair. The place was small, and the two of them were unable to move when they came in. If it weren't for the important things to do today, Gong Meier would have thought that Young Master Jiu was deliberately taking advantage of her.

"It must be, otherwise how could he leave?"

"Walk, why did you decide he wants to ride in a sedan?"

"Anyway, since I was a child, I have never seen my father use it when he goes out."

Gong Meier rolled her eyes, "That's why you don't know about your mother!"

Young Master Jiu was stunned for a moment, as if he was suddenly awakened by this sentence, "Yes..."

"It's probably almost time to Si, but General Xiao has not appeared for a long time. It must be that there is something wrong with your plan!"

Young Master Jiu also felt it was right, so he pulled Gong Meier and jumped out of the carriage and ran to General Xiao's room. As soon as he arrived at the door, he grabbed a servant and said, "Go and inform me, I want to see my father."

"The general is not here."

Young Master Jiu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he was really wrong. General Xiao really left without riding in the sedan chair.

"Where did he go?" asked the Ninth Master again.

"I don't know that the general left at the moment this morning."

Hearing this answer, Young Master Nine took Gong Mei'er's hand again and ran wildly towards the direction of Mrs. Tai's room.

"Young Master Nine, where are we going?"

"You and I don't know where my mother was buried. Now there is only one way."

"What's the solution?"

"Ask my grandma!"

When he arrived in front of the grandma, the Ninth Master was already panting. The grandma looked at the grandson's appearance and felt puzzled, "Yu'er, when did you make you so anxious?"

Young Master Ninth has no time to lay the groundwork or keep it a secret. He is in danger now, so he asked, "Grandma, where is my mother's tomb? Does my father go to my mother's tombstone to drink with her every year?"

The lady's face immediately sank, "Who did you hear these?"

Young Master Jiu immediately grabbed the grandma's shoulder and said anxiously: "Grandma, my dad is in danger now. Don't ask me so much. I'll explain to you when I come back. You just need to tell me if my dad went to my mom's tombstone to drink with her? Where is my mom buried? Grandma, please tell me!"

Seeing this, the lady had already understood the urgency of the matter. She stopped talking nonsense and told Master Jiu very readily.

"Your father goes to your mother's grave to have a few drinks with her every year. Your mother is buried next to Jixian Temple on the back mountain."

"Thank you grandma!" After saying that, Young Master Ninth bowed deeply to the Grandma.

The road behind the mountain is long, but Young Master Jiu and Gong Meier do not have convenient means of transportation. So the two rushed to Jixian Temple. They found General Xiao in a forest next to Jixian Temple. He knelt in front of a tombstone, holding a wine glass in his hand, and slowly handed it to his mouth. Young Master Jiu let go of Gong Meier's hand, ran to General Xiao and knocked over the wine glass. Seeing the wine glass falling on the ground, he sat down with confidence. Gong Meier was already exhausted and sat down against a tree.

General Xiao suddenly became angry when he saw his son.

"Xiao Yu! What are you doing! I haven't settled the score with you when you left the table last night. Why are you here to make trouble now!"

Not only did the Ninth Master not explain, he lies flat on the ground.

"Xiao Yu! What do you mean? Why did you come here!"

Seeing that the father and son were about to start arguing, Gong Meier stood up and walked over with difficulty, "General Xiao, this is not the case. Young Master Jiu is for..."

"Mei'er." Young Master Jiu interrupted Gong Mei'er's words and shook his head at her.

General Xiao glanced at Gong Meier and immediately recognized that this was the girl who identified Master Jiu who stole the wine not long ago. He stood up, frowned and looked at Master Jiu who was lying on the ground and gasping.

"What puzzle are you fighting? Tell me, how did you find this place today?"
