Chapter 348 Discovering that Shen Luoxue is Missing
When talking about business, Ping'er also restrained her sour look.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
After waiting for Ping'er to leave, Su Hanchu pondered for a moment, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the space, raised his hand and began to write the contract.
Sunken House.
Yu Shu came over with an anxious look on his face.
"Young Master."
Shen Chengrui saw that he looked flustered and spoke hurriedly.
"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to go pick up the young lady?"
Yu Shu stepped forward and bowed.
"Sir, I went there early in the morning, but the house was empty. I took the initiative to check, but there were no clothes inside. I'm afraid the young lady has moved out with her people."
Shen Chengrui frowned when he heard this.
"She moved away. Where could she have moved to? And why didn't she tell me? Could it be that she moved to the Qian family? She's really a worry. Go and find out. If she really moved to the Qian family, find a way to send a message to Lihua who is with her and ask her to come back to the Shen residence to see me."
Thousands of families.
As soon as Qian Zexi returned from court, he was invited to the main courtyard by Madam Qian.
"Sir, I heard that you waited for Concubine Chen for half the night last night, but she never came back. You dragged your tired body to court early in the morning. I feel sorry for you, so I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes. Please have some food before going to work."
Qian Zexi frowned slightly after hearing this.
"Gundam hasn't come back either?"
After hearing this, Madam Qian hated Shen Luoxue even more. She had checked out Shen Luoxue herself and found out that she was just a withered flower with a burden. Yet, she attracted the attention of the young master again and again. She was really capable.
"Sir, I know you have taken a fancy to Chen Luoxue, but no matter what, she is just a concubine. It is really a bit unruly for you to worry about her so much..."
Qian Zexi was already feeling annoyed because Shen Luoxue was missing, and when he heard Madam Qian say this, he spoke impatiently.
"Alright, she just came in. Even if there's something inconsiderate about her, you can just slowly remind her later. Am I not hungry? I'll go back to the study to read the documents first."
Mrs. Qian's face turned ugly when she saw this, and she was about to say something.
Gundam came quickly.
"Sir, something happened."
Qian Zexi frowned even more tightly, glanced at Madam Qian, and then spoke to Gundam.
"Come with me to the study and talk."
Upon hearing this, Gundam hurried to follow.
Madam Qian was furious when she saw this. "Very good, Shen Luoxue, you are a fallen woman, yet you let the young master give me the cold shoulder again and again. So what if you are the daughter of the Northwest Prefecture? You are just a shameless, seductive woman who seduces other people's husbands." She walked towards her yard angrily.
Only after they reached the yard did she speak to the maid who followed her.
"Send a message to my father. Didn't Shen Luoxue's brother just get promoted by the emperor? Let my father make things difficult for him. I want to see if Shen Luoxue can behave himself in the future."
Qian's study.
Qian Zexi already had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Where's the snowman Shen Luo?"
Gundam bowed.
"Sir, I went to Concubine Chen's house, but it was completely deserted. Following the wheel tracks, I discovered the carriage was actually heading towards the cliff. The road smelled of tiger urine, and occasionally there were tiger footprints. I'm afraid Concubine Chen encountered a tiger on the way back, and the driver, in a panic, took the wrong road. I followed the carriage all the way to the cliff, but only two hairpins and a handkerchief were left there."
As he said this, he took out a handkerchief and a hairpin.
Qian Zexi took it with a heavy hand. He recognized one of the two hairpins, as he had given it to Shen Luoxue.
"Have you checked carefully? Did the carriage really fall off the cliff?"
Gundam pondered what he had seen along the way.
"Sir, I checked carefully several times. The wheels of the car have been driven all the way to the cliff. I'm afraid that Aunt Shen is in great danger."
Qian Zexi was thinking deeply. Shen Luoxue had just told him some news about Jun Moye when something happened to him. He was afraid that the accident was not simple.
"Come on, you lead the way. I'll go and see for myself. I'll also have someone go to the bottom of the cliff to look for the dead or alive."
The moon fills the courtyard of the imperial city.
Su Hanchu was eating lunch while waiting for Lin Hanzhi's arrival.
Qingzhi stood aside obediently.
Su Hanchu raised his eyes and glanced at her.
"There are so many dishes, I can't finish them all by myself, let's sit down and eat together."
After hearing this, Qingzhi spoke quickly.
"Ma'am, this is unacceptable. It's against the rules."
Su Hanchu spoke helplessly.
"I don't like eating alone. Please sit down. You've been running the Imperial City alone for so many years and it's been hard. It's just right for us to chat while we eat."
Qingzhi only knew that the lady was easy-going these days, but she didn't expect that she would be so kind to her now. She sat down a little stiffly.
"Qingzhi thanks Madam."
Su Hanchu was dressed in men's clothes. Looking at Qingzhi's beautiful face after she took off her veil, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"No wonder you wear a veil when you go out. I'm afraid that many rich ladies in the imperial city can't match your face."
Qing Zhi blushed a little when she heard this and spoke.
"Madam, you are too kind. Qingzhi is just a willow-like figure. How can she be as good as you say."
Su Hanchu reached out and picked up a piece of food for her.
"Let's eat first. From now on, just call me Master. Look at how I'm dressed now. It would feel weird if you called me Madam."
Qingzhi responded according to the rules.
"yes."
Soon the two of them were eating quietly together. When they were almost done, Qingzhi asked the waiter to take away the tableware and then made some scented tea.
Su Hanchu sat aside and spoke slowly.
"I've been busy with the affairs of Shen Luoxue and Yaoyue Tower these days. Now tell me about the Qian family and the Prince's Mansion. Is there any important news?"
Qing Zhi bowed respectfully upon hearing this.
"In reply to your question, the Qian family must have a very high status in the imperial city. After all, they are the family of the Crown Prince's wife. However, for now, what we know is similar to the affairs of ordinary high-ranking officials. However, in the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince has been particularly bad-tempered in the past few years.
Occasionally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would fly into a rage in the middle of the night. Furthermore, in recent years, the Crown Prince's Mansion has had many wives and concubines, but no children. My subordinates have investigated, and it seems the Mansion has been secretly searching for a renowned doctor, but no matter how many subordinates there are, they dare not investigate further, fearing to alert the enemy."
