[061] Unreturned
*
Dingguo Hou Mansion.
In Jinhua Hall, Mrs. Mu sat high in the front seat, slowly twisting a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and her old face looked quite majestic.
Liang Jia stood at the head of Mrs. Mu, with a hint of worry hidden between her eyebrows and eyes, and said, "Mom, Qing'er has not returned overnight, and I don't know where she has gone. I, a mother, am really worried."
Mrs. Mu did not speak, but Hu Yuhan, who was standing aside, mocked: "I don't know if my sister-in-law's words are true or false. If I really loved Qing'er, I wouldn't have been so careless when I hired a teacher. Fortunately, Qing'er is smart, otherwise how could my sister-in-law be worthy of my brother and the dead wife?"
After hearing Hu's sarcastic words, Liang's face turned pale and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the old lady.
Because of Wu Zhongxing's incident, the old lady has been quite dissatisfied with her recently; but she didn't expect that Hu would mention this matter again, obviously just to make things difficult for herself.
Liang Jing was angry, and he hated Mu Qing. At this time, he heard that Hu actually mentioned the dead Xie Ling'er again, and felt that he had a strong breath in his heart. But in front of the old lady, she was not easy to get angry, so he could only suppress his anger and said, "The second child said something wrong. Qing'er is the master's daughter, so I should take it as my own. How could I treat her badly when I returned home from Qing'er?"
"My sister-in-law is a sensible person. She naturally knows whether she has treated her legitimate daughter badly. Why do you have to move to the open? " Hu smiled.
"I don't know what Lao Er means? During the time Qing'er returned to her house, she used food, clothing and food. Although she was not my biological child, I asked myself that she did not treat her at all with Qing'er." After Liang Yan said that, he turned to look at the old lady sitting on the head, and pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Hu looked down on Liang Jing's behavior the most, and was about to retort each other, he heard the old lady's majestic voice: "When will you two continue to fight? If you are not tired, get out and fight to the death before you stop!"
Hearing this, Liang Mei paused her tears, and Hu immediately closed her mouth and never dared to say anything again.
Mrs. Mu glanced at the two of them with a heavy gaze, and her face looked quite gloomy.
Lu Zhu and Yun Zhu, who were waiting beside her, hurriedly poured a cup of tea to moisten the old lady's throat, and the other hurriedly patted her back gently.
Mrs. Mu felt that this was better, but her face was still ugly and tight.
After staying for a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "The second girl has not returned overnight, can anyone send me to find her?"
Hearing that the old lady finally asked Mu Qing about it, Liang Jing thought that she would have to make a big fuss this time, so she hurriedly said, "If you go back to your mother, I have sent someone to look for it last night, but after all this night, there is still no whereabouts of Qing'er. I don't know where the child has gone, so I don't even say hello, which makes people worry about it on weekdays."
"I sent someone to look for it last night?" Mrs. Mu frowned, then said with a calm face: "A whole night has passed, but it has not been found yet. It's ridiculous!"
Seeing that the old lady looked bad, Liang Jing hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Qing'er has always been a sensible person. Maybe he might have encountered anything." After that, she sighed again, as if she was talking to herself: "But if this child says something is wrong, she should always ask the maid to return home to send a message, but even this maid doesn't know where she went, it's really uneasy."
After hearing what Liang Jing said, Mrs. Mu's face became more and more gloomy and said coldly: "The daughter of the dignified Marquis's Mansion has not returned overnight. If it is spread, what would it look like?"
Mrs. Mu was angry, and Liang Jing closed her mouth tactfully, but Hu, who was standing beside him, reminded: "Mom, Qing'er has always been a sensible person. This time...will something happen?
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mu frowned, but heard Hu say: "Although the capital city has always been rigorous, no thief dares to rob the official family's daughters, but people die for money and birds die for food. Maybe there is such a life-despair."
After Hu said that, Mrs. Mu was meditating in her heart, silent for a moment, then looked up at Liang Jing and said, "Tell me the two personal maids beside the second girl to ask questions."
Liang Jia responded quickly and sent someone to Haitangyuan.
Not long after, Miaoling and Qiuyu came to Jinhuatang.
Seeing Mrs. Mu sitting high, she bowed together.
Mrs. Mu glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "You are the second girl's personal maids. I followed her out of the house yesterday and should follow her in an endless manner. Now that people are gone, you maids are the ones who are the maids, and you are the ones who are the maids!"
"It's my fault, I'm asking the old lady to calm my anger." Miaoling said: "The two of me don't care about the girl. The old lady wants to beat and punish her, but I admit it."
Qiuyu also cried and said, "Old Madam, the girl is gone. Please send more people to find the girl's whereabouts. Even if I die, I will never complain."
"Let's keep your lives for the time being. It's not too late to punish Erya." Mrs. Mu looked cold and asked again: "I'll ask you, how come Erya disappeared?"
