At this moment, the Annan Marquis Mansion was extremely deserted, with no New Year atmosphere at all.
The old man had a cold face, and the servant came tremblingly to report: "My Lord, we have looked everywhere, but there is no trace of the Second Master."
"Has the Jingzhao Prefecture received the news of his death?" The old man gritted his teeth in anger.
"My lord, the second master took away... took away all the old lady's money. There should... there should be no accidents. Maybe he was delayed outside..." The servant shrank his neck.
"Still haven't found Wang'er?" The old lady heard the noise outside and came out with her crutches.
She had acupuncture and massage on her right leg for more than a month, but still had no sensation in it, and now she can only walk with the help of a cane.
Seeing the old man's gloomy face, she knew that she still hadn't found it.
Half a month ago, the old lady had nothing to do, so she thought of cleaning out her private vault.
I took the cabinet and opened it, and found a few head ornaments and some large items inside.
The pearl, agate, jade pendants and silver bills all disappeared without a trace.
After investigation, it was found that the only one who had a chance was Rong Qi Wang.
The best evidence is that he hasn't been home for a month.
When his friends were found and asked, they all said that he had cheated on Haikou and that if he didn't accomplish something big this time, he would not come back.
So, what on earth was he going to do with the one million taels of fortune?
The old man's eyelids were twitching.
"Where is Mrs. Hu? Today is New Year's Eve, why doesn't she come back to arrange the New Year's Eve vigil?" asked the old lady.
The servant lowered his head and said, "The Second Madam said... everything is fine at the farm, so she won't be coming back."
"Bastard! Bastard!!" The old lady was so angry that she stomped her crutch again and again.
"Where's Huanyao? Why didn't she take care of all this in advance when her sister-in-law wasn't coming back?"
"The young lady..." Nanny Sun said softly, "She went to give a gift to the eldest prince..."
Half a month ago, Rong Huanyao was busy and everyone thought she was preparing for the New Year. It was not until today that they realized that she was just preparing a New Year gift for the eldest prince.
The decorations in the mansion now were collected last year when they were moved out.
This house looks really desolate and shabby.
"She...they..."
"Madam, Madam, go find a doctor..."
The old lady couldn't breathe and fainted again.
"What a sin, what a sin..." The old man's face turned pale and gray at this moment.
In the vibrant and prosperous city of Kyoto, where fireworks are burning everywhere, there is a small area that is dim and dull.
…
New Year's Day.
As usual, he went to the palace to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
This time, Rong Chaoxi didn't have to climb up to the altar secretly. The emperor and the third prince directly led her up.
When the court officials saw this, they were shocked.
Rong Baichuan was so shocked that he was speechless.
Only the royal family could walk on that long "Road to Heaven", but they actually let a little girl walk on it, and she was led up by the emperor himself.
Look at the emperor's servile and fawning look.
Who is the emperor after all!
The courtiers murmured angrily.
Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!
snort!
How could these idiots know the emperor's little thoughts?
The closer we are to each other day and night, the more clearly we can hear his wishes.
In the biting cold wind, Marquis Annan shivered in his cloak and heard whispers around him.
He looked up and saw a small red figure standing out and dazzling between the two men in bright yellow robes.
Right in front of the team of court officials stood a figure half a head taller than those around him, standing tall and resolute.
An emotion called regret slowly crept into my heart.
The emperor settled Chaoxi in front of the brazier and said, "Chaoxi, don't just focus on eating for a while. Listen to the sounds around you, okay?"
“…” Rong Chaoxi nodded in a daze.
