Chapter 429 Returning Safely

The eldest brother of the Li family also felt more uneasy in the changes of light and darkness. After hearing what Li Yuran said, he nodded.

Li Yu Ran's eyes lit up, and then he was about to stand up.

"ah!"

"Slower!"

After not moving all night, their legs and feet had already become numb but they were unaware of it. Only now did they realize the problem.

"Why don't you go and have a rest, I'll go with them to look for it." It was already dawn, and the eldest brother of the Li family was no longer afraid of bothering the merchants.

Li Yuran shook his head and stamped his feet. "No, I'll go with you."

The eldest brother of the Li family tried to persuade her but to no avail and had no choice but to agree to Li Yuran's request. After Li Yuran fixed her makeup, the eldest brother of the Li family went to wake up the vendors.

After learning that Qin Xiangnuan was gone, they were all extremely shocked and felt like they had lost their backbone, which made them extremely anxious.

"Was the third girl killed?"

"Pfft, pfft, can't you say something nice?"

"Oh, yes, look at my bad mouth."

"Okay, stop arguing, let's go find someone quickly, shall we?"

In a hurry and panic, they packed up all their things. Before the last person was about to step onto the carriage, they heard Qin Xiangnuan's voice.

"What are you doing?" Qin Xiangnuan had rushed here as fast as she could, thinking that she must come back before they all woke up, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.

This made Qin Xiangnuan feel a little strange.

"Third Miss!"

"Nuannuan!"

"Miss Qin, where have you been?"

Qin Xiangnuan was hit by a series of questions, and only then did she see the confusion on their faces.

"I went out for a walk." Qin Xiangnuan was obviously talking nonsense.

She thought that if she came too late they wouldn't be able to see her and would have questions, but she never expected that they would find out that she hadn't returned home all night.

The vendors heard different versions from the eldest brother of the Li family, but since this was Qin Xiangnuan's own version, they were confused.

"But didn't Master Li say..."

"?" Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows and looked at him in confusion.

Li Yuran looked at Qin Xiangnuan who was safe and sound, and saw her coaxing them calmly, so he spoke up to wake up Qin Xiangnuan who was pretending to be stupid.

"I didn't see you after I woke up last night, so my elder brother and I waited for you all night." There was a hint of cruelty in Li Yuran's voice.

Qin Xiangnuan froze in place and lowered her eyes.

When he looked up, his eyes were calm.

"I didn't want to make you worry, but you found out so early." Qin Xiangnuan even curled the corners of her mouth.

"Don't worry, I'm back safely, right?" Qin Xiangnuan said, "You've been worried for so long, you must not have had breakfast yet. Don't rush to leave, come down first."

The vendors were careless. After hearing Qin Xiangnuan's evasive words, they also felt that since the person was fine, there was no need to inquire about where he had gone last night.

However, the Li brother and sister could not dispel the doubts in their hearts.

"Little sister, if Miss Qin doesn't want to say anything, you don't have to ask too much." However, the attitudes of the brother and sister were different. The eldest brother of the Li family said this to Li Yuran.

Li Yuran was unhappy for a moment after hearing this. Qin Xiangnuan had been hiding too many things from her recently, but she was helpless.

Seeing that Li Yu Ran did not respond, the eldest brother of the Li family repeated it several times, and only stopped after seeing Li Yu Ran nod.

Only after Qin Xiangnuan put all the things out did the Li siblings come over.

"I'm sorry for making you worry last night." Qin Xiangnuan looked at the dark circles under their eyes and said guiltily.

"The main reason is that we have waited for you for so long and you haven't come back. We are afraid that you might have met with an accident." The eldest brother of the Li family said in a low voice.

Qin Xiangnuan glanced back at the vendors waiting for food, then turned to the eldest brother of the Li family and smiled, "I didn't want to worry you, so I didn't tell you. I didn't expect you to find out when I left."

The eldest brother of the Li family looked at Qin Xiangnuan, his lips moving up and down, but no sound came out.

Qin Xiangnuan looked worried for him and said, "Brother Li, feel free to say whatever you want to say."

The eldest brother of the Li family opened and closed his mouth again before speaking, "I know Miss Qin has something important to do, but I was really worried when I found out you were not here without us knowing."

Qin Xiangnuan nodded, "I didn't do this carefully enough."

Qin Xiangnuan thought she should be more cautious.

The eldest brother of the Li family obviously misunderstood. A smile appeared on his face. "Just remember to tell us next time, Miss Qin. If you feel it's inconvenient, you can just tell me. I won't let them worry."

Qin Xiangnuan's eyes widened slightly, thinking that there wouldn't be a next time.

Although he didn't hear Qin Xiangnuan's answer, the eldest brother of the Li family looked into Qin Xiangnuan's eyes and determined that she agreed with him, so he happily joined the group of vendors.

Li Yuran had been standing quietly by the side. She had a lot of things she wanted to say to Qin Xiangnuan, but when their eyes met, she couldn't say anything.

In the end, Li Yuran only said this: "You still need to go home safely. Don't make us worry."

"Okay." Qin Xiangnuan accepted the concern.

Last night, Qin Xiangnuan went to the inn where Xue'er was staying and unexpectedly discovered that Xue'er was still living there.

Because they went there late at night, Qin Xiangnuan couldn't find anyone to ask questions, so she could only let Xue'er fall asleep and then go to her room to look for things.

In the end, nothing was discovered, but Qin Xiangnuan saw one thing clearly. The hairpin that Li Yuran said was similar that day was not only similar, but it was the one Li Yuran had set his eyes on.

This made Qin Xiangnuan guess that Xue'er and the others had been targeting them earlier than Qin Xiangnuan thought.

After coming out of Xue'er's room, Qin Xiangnuan went to the place where the crime happened that day, but naturally she couldn't see any traces.

However, when Qin Xiangnuan was about to leave, she heard the sound of a carriage rolling, and Qin Xiangnuan turned around and climbed onto a tree.

"Sir, why did you bring us here in the middle of the night?"

This sentence is full of fear, and you can tell that he is extremely afraid of the dark night.

"I didn't expect the journey to be so long. I must have been deceived by these people. When we meet them later, please help me question them!"

The voice sounded familiar, and Qin Xiangnuan had some guesses in her mind. She carefully leaned over to take a look. She couldn't see the face clearly, but she could tell from the other person's staggering steps and voice.

Qin Xiangnuan was certain that it was the ugly young man who had caused them trouble.

However, it was very strange that the other party appeared here at this time, so Qin Xiangnuan waited patiently.

Therefore, that night, not only the Li brothers and sisters were waiting in the tent, but Qin Xiangnuan and the ugly young man were also waiting, and they waited for almost the entire night.

However, the Li brothers and sisters made it clear that they were waiting for Qin Xiangnuan to appear, but Qin Xiangnuan didn't know who she was waiting for.
