Chapter 167 The Third Brother is in Trouble

Qin Shu and the Princess chatted for a while, and seeing that it was already late, Qin Shu carried little Xixi back to the mansion.

Qin Xixi had fallen into a deep sleep, and even when Qin Shu picked her up from the couch, she showed no sign of waking up.

Qin Shu couldn't help but whisper to the Princess.

"Xixi is really a little pig, sleeping so deeply."

The Princess also laughed when she heard it, and after sending them to the carriage, she went to arrange to investigate the secrets of the officials.

Although Qin Xixi had not easily woken up from dreams in the past, she slept particularly deeply this time because she dreamed of something that was about to happen.

In the dream, she couldn't see very clearly, and could only vaguely distinguish that she was in the mansion of the spice merchant, and standing in front of her were the third brother and the spice merchant.

The atmosphere between the two was very tense. The third brother was holding something that looked like a book, which seemed to be an account book, and the spice merchant had a sullen expression and asked him to return the account book.

It turned out that the third brother had already got the account book, but accidentally attracted the spice merchant.

The third brother originally wanted to put on a show to deal with it, but because he had been lurking in the spice merchant's house for a night, the fake makeup on his face had all fallen off, and the spice merchant recognized at a glance that the third brother was from the Qin Mansion.

The third brother knew that he had been discovered, so he stopped pretending and began to confront the spice merchant face to face.

Xiao Xixi was anxious watching from the side.

[Why is the third brother confronting with hatred now? It would be better for him to bow to the spice merchant temporarily, and then emphasize his identity as the young master of the Qin family to make him a little jealous. 】

The lifeblood of the spice merchant is this account book.

It can be said that if the account book is exposed, he will never have the chance to see the light of day again.

And now in the spice merchant's mansion, the third brother naturally has no power to fight back. If he insists on fighting him to the death, the third brother can only lose his life and not get the account book!

I don’t know if he wants to bring down the spice merchant too much, or he trusts Yang Chong too much that he will come to rescue him, and he is so bold to confront him face to face!

And the spy planted in the spice merchant’s mansion had long been discovered by the vigilant spice merchant and sent out of the mansion.

In fact, the spice merchant did not completely trust the third brother, otherwise he would not have caught the third brother now.

During the argument between the two, the spice merchant saw that the matter was exposed, and he showed the dagger in his hand.

He stabbed at his third brother, but he didn't know where Yang Haixin came from. The dagger didn't hurt his third brother, but Yang Haixin instead!

Little Xixi was frightened awake after dreaming about this.

Fortunately, he didn't block his third brother anymore, otherwise his third brother and sister Haixin would have died quietly in the spice merchant's mansion, and no one would know!

When Qin Xixi woke up, it was already bright. She babbled and asked for Qin Shu, but the maid said that Qin Shu was not in the mansion.

Xixi was very anxious, thinking that Qin Shu should catch her and take her to find her third brother, but Qin Shu happened to go out at this time!

She was babbling something to the maid, but the maid didn't understand. She could only vaguely make out the words "mother" and "third brother".

Fortunately, the maid was not stupid. Although she didn't understand what Qin Xixi said specifically, she still hurried to find Qin Shu.

Little Xixi was afraid that her mother would not catch up and that something would happen to her third brother, so she sneaked out of the house while the maids didn't notice her.

As for how scared the maid would be when she found out that she was missing, she didn't care about that. Now the life of her third brother was more important!

Although Xixi was extremely anxious and wanted to find the spice merchant and her third brother to solve the big problem, little Xixi was a little overwhelmed.

After all, she is a little child. If her mother had not given the order, no one could take her out without her mother's permission. No matter what she did, she would let the maids carry her!

Now, with a pair of short legs, it took her a long time to just reach the street outside the mansion.

People were coming and going, and there were cars and horses passing by from time to time. Xiao Xixi was a little kid, and she was afraid that someone would not see her and accidentally bump into them.

But she couldn't care less now. It was better to move forward slowly than to stay in the mansion waiting to hear the bad news from her third brother.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xixi moved forward with difficulty, and anyone who saw that little figure would say that she had worked hard.

Fortunately, not long after, Xiao Xixi ran into an acquaintance.

At this time, Qin Xixi felt that the little grandson of the emperor was like a god sent from heaven.

Even though she didn't want to admit that she was a short-legged useless person who took a breath after walking three steps, she had to ask Pei Xuanyi for help, who was walking faster and had a carriage.

Pei Xuanyi felt something when he was in the carriage, so he opened the curtains and looked around.

As a result, he found that Xiao Xixi was walking alone on the street without even a maid by her side. Pei Xuanyi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked the driver to stop the car. He jumped off the car directly, scaring the servants who followed him. Fortunately, Pei Xuanyi was fine.

"Xixi, why are you alone on the street? Isn't the master with you?"

Qin Xixi saw that Pei Xuanyi had a carriage and immediately wanted to take a ride with him, but because she was too anxious, she babbled a lot, but Pei Xuanyi didn't understand anything.

Seeing Xixi's panic, something must have happened. Pei Xuanyi patiently persuaded Qin Xixi.

"Don't worry, what happened? Think it over in your mind and then say it out loud, so that brother can understand."

After hearing this, little Xixi thought about it again in her mind and babbled it out loud.

But this time Pei Xuanyi understood her heart.

[Third brother and the spice merchant had a conflict! The spice merchant had a knife in his hand, and third brother might be in danger. And sister Haixin, if it's a little later, she might bleed to death! ]

Pei Xuanyi's face froze when he heard this, and he immediately realized that the situation was very critical, so he carried little Xixi to the carriage.

He had also sent people to monitor the movements of the Third Young Master Qin these days, so he naturally knew that he had gone to the spice merchant's residence, and also knew where the spice merchant's residence was.

So he first ordered the carriage to go to the direction of the spice merchant's residence, and then told his guards to mobilize some troops.

"Send some secret guards from the Prince's residence to the place I mentioned, quickly, and invite people from the Ministry of Justice to come along, saying that there is an important case. Send some people to inform the head of the Qin family, saying that the Third Young Master is in trouble, and quickly rush to the spice merchant's residence."

Pei Xuanyi arranged everything and felt relieved when he saw the carriage was moving at the fastest speed.

He saw that Xiao Xixi was still a little panicked and immediately coaxed her with heartache.

"Xixi, don't be afraid. Your third brother will be fine. We have so many soldiers here. He won't dare to do anything."
