Chapter 427 Recognizing Zhu Jingyi
Jiang Feng added, "But don't worry, Madam. There are two secret guards left in Luocheng. If they find anything, they will inform their subordinates in time!"
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly.
What else can I do? She had repeatedly told me to leave the capital, so I shouldn't go to the capital, right?
unless……
"Send two more to keep an eye on the Chu family and see if they have any abnormalities!"
Luo Tingshan suddenly said, "Send someone to search along the road from Luocheng to the capital!"
Zhu Mingqing tilted his head: "Do you think they will return to the capital?!"
Luo Tingshan nodded slightly: "It's possible. The Liang family has been making quite a lot of noise here recently, so it's inevitable that they'll discover the Zhu family's whereabouts."
Zhu Mingqing was in a low mood because of the sudden disappearance of the Zhu family. After all, they were blood relatives of the original owner, and they had also given her a lot of silver.
If they left on their own initiative, she wouldn't worry.
I’m afraid that someone is always keeping an eye on the Zhu family!
Zhu Mingqing couldn't sleep at night, so he went straight to the fairy palace and walked around for a few rounds. Looking at the lush forests and the grand harvest scene in the fairy palace, his mood did improve.
"Qingqing, if you're really worried, why don't we go to the capital?"
"No!" Zhu Mingqing lazily lay on the lawn, "Now is not the time to go to Beijing."
The little world spirit also felt that it would be better to stay in the city quietly, but he should not forget to upgrade himself.
"But what about your parents?"
Zhu Mingqing was open-minded: "Don't worry, if it's really the enemy who took them away, they will definitely take action. When the weather gets better, we will return to the city."
By arresting the Zhu family, the only target is the Luo family.
…
Five days passed in a flash, and Zhu Jingyi's mood improved greatly because Zhu Mingqing said he would take her to Guancheng to find her aunt.
Thinking of her aunt who hated her family, she felt timid again, but after all, she was the only relative she could rely on now, so Zhu Jingyi still held some hope in her heart.
In the past few days, the inn has been bustling with people, and Mr. Feng has been here for at least two days. On this day, he happened to run into Zhu Jingyi.
"You are..." Zhu Jingyi felt that this old man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.
Old Master Feng thought the little girl was pretty, but he didn't take it to heart and turned around to continue walking downstairs.
"Zhu Jingyi!" Zhu Mingqing just pushed the door open and called for someone.
Zhu Jingyi hurriedly said: "Here I come!"
She smiled shyly at Old Master Feng and immediately ran towards Madam Ming.
Instead, Old Master Feng paused, turned around abruptly and looked at the two people who were talking. It was unknown what he said, but the little girl happily entered the room.
Looking at the two people's eyebrows and eyes from a distance, their eye shapes are almost exactly the same.
Moreover, the name Zhu Jingyi is really too familiar.
If I remember correctly, his granddaughter-in-law's maiden name was Zhu, and because both the Feng family and the Zhu family were engaged in business, they had a good relationship.
During the years when he went to the capital alone, he secretly visited the Zhu family several times.
Judging from their ages, Old Man Zhu’s granddaughter is about the same age as the girl just now, and her name seems to be Jingyi!
Old Master Feng was very confused, but the little girl shouldn't be here.
After thinking about it, he got into the carriage and waited.
Zhu Jingyi took the purse, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the inn with a relaxed look on his face.
"Congratulations girl!"
Suddenly, I heard a shout from behind me. I turned around and saw it was the old man from before.
Zhu Jingyi pointed at herself in confusion: "Call me?"
Old Master Feng nodded slightly.
"How do you know my last name is Zhu?"
Old Master Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Perhaps, I have seen you before?"
Zhu Jingyi's eyes lit up: "I also think you look familiar, Grandpa. Have we really met before?"
Old Master Feng raised the corner of his mouth and pointed to the teahouse in front: "This is not a place to talk. If you want to know, little girl, let's meet in the teahouse?"
Not knowing what she was thinking about, Zhu Jingyi immediately took two steps back in fear and shook her head desperately: "No, I have something else to do, I'm leaving first!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran back to the inn.
Old Master Feng looked stunned. Did he say something wrong?
Or was he too fierce and scared the girl?
But the person was gone, so he had to go back to Feng Mansion first. Just when the carriage was about to leave, Zhu Jingyi ran out again.
She shouted "See you at the teahouse" and ran away very fast with her small body.
Seeing this, Old Master Feng smiled.
There are not many people in the teahouse. After all, business is not good in this kind of weather.
Zhu Jingyi looked at the shop assistant beside him, breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the old man in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "Have you been to Beijing before?"
Old Master Feng pushed the cake in front of her and said, "Try it. This is the most famous osmanthus cake in Yangzhou City. You used to love it the most."
Zhu Jingyi's eyes widened, and she blurted out, "How did you know?"
Hearing this, Old Master Feng understood: "I'm Grandpa Feng. Little Jingyi, do you remember me? When you were eight years old, I held you in my arms."
A scene of an old grandfather feeding her osmanthus cake suddenly flashed in Zhu Jingyi’s mind. The old grandfather’s appearance was very blurry, but it seemed that his surname was Feng!
"Are you really Grandpa Feng, the Grandpa Feng who knew my grandfather?" She was a little uncertain.
Old Master Feng nodded. "I still have the jade pendant your grandfather gave me, but unfortunately I didn't bring it with me. But how did you end up in the inn and know Madam Ming? Where are your family members?"
Ever since being kidnapped, Zhu Jingyi has become more vigilant. Although there are images in her mind, it has been a long time since she last saw them.
She just said: "Then bring the jade pendant to me."
Hearing this, Old Master Feng was stunned, and then laughed.
He immediately waved to his servant to go back to the house to get the jade pendant. A quarter of an hour later, the servant came back panting and holding a box.
"It's right here. Every child in your family should have such a jade pendant. The one in my hand was given to me by your grandfather."
Zhu Jingyi opened the box and just by looking at the texture of the jade pendant and the pattern on it, she was sure that it was indeed from the same source as the jade pendant in her hand.
But these are all made for the descendants of the Zhu family, how could Grandpa Feng have them?
Old Master Feng smiled and said, "Back then, your grandfather and I agreed that if fate allowed us to be together, we would become in-laws. Now it seems that meeting a little girl like you is heaven's will."
It was just a joke, but as soon as I finished speaking, the little girl's eyes turned red.
"What's going on?" Old Master Feng was puzzled and quickly comforted her, "Stop crying! Tell Grandpa Feng if you have any grievances. I'll take care of it for you. Could it be that Madam Ming is bullying you?"
"No!" Zhu Jingyi immediately shook her head, wiped her tears, and told her story.
When relatives are not around, Old Master Feng is the elder and relative in Zhu Jingyi's eyes.
His face showed grievance and his eyes were full of admiration.
Old Master Feng was furious: "This is simply outrageous. The Chu family is overreaching."
"Jingyi, you said you came out to buy osmanthus cake, why are you with..." Zhu Mingqing's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Her eyes fell on Old Master Feng, "Do you know each other?"
