Chapter 158 Mysterious Disappearance



An Tingyu knew that Jing Aotian was comforting her. Although she also wanted to tell him with a smile that she was fine, she couldn't say it.

"Miss, Madam Li is here."

Just when Jing Aotian didn't know how to comfort her anymore, Dang Yan walked in.

"Let her in!" The lost expression on An Tingyu's face disappeared and instantly turned into indifference and pride. Her sharp eyes and cold and arrogant posture made it seem as if the frustrated person just now was not her.

After a while, Nanny Li came in.

"Your servant greets Miss An!" Nanny Li bowed to An Tingyu.

"Madam Li, does the Queen Mother have any instructions? Or is there something wrong with Xier?" An Tingyu asked calmly.

"This..." Nanny Li hesitated, "Miss An, if I tell you, please don't worry too much. Something happened to the young master..."

"What?" An Tingyu was startled. "What happened to Xi'er?"

Isn’t the palace safe either?

An Tingyu pondered in her heart.

"Miss An, the rope broke while the young master was swinging, so he accidentally fell. But don't worry, it's just a flesh wound, nothing serious, so he will be well soon."

Hearing this, An Tingyu finally calmed down. She just said lightly: "There is a saying that goes, children don't grow up without falling. There are always bumps and bruises when playing. Okay, I know about this."

An Tingyu originally thought that she was just not careful enough when playing, and these were small things, so she didn't take them to heart. However, for several days in a row, news came from the palace, saying that someone accidentally fell into the river while crossing the bridge, or was almost hit by a flower pot falling from a high-rise building. Things happened one after another, and everything seemed like a coincidence, but in fact it was not so coincidental. After all, there are no such coincidences in the world.

"I want to go into the palace and take a look!" That day, An Tingyu finally couldn't help it.

"I'm going too. I haven't seen Xier for a few days. Let me go with you!" Jing Aotian also said.

An Tingyu nodded, and then the two of them entered the palace together.

After entering the palace, An Tingyu did not go to see the empress dowager immediately, but found Yu Qing.

When Yu Qing saw An Tingyu entering the palace, she reported to her in detail what had happened in the past few days.

"That means the rope on the swing showed signs of being cut, and the wooden bridge also showed signs of being broken, but no one was on the flowerpot when it fell?" An Tingyu's voice grew colder. "It seems that even the palace can't let them stay quiet."

"Miss, Yu Qing originally wanted to report this to you immediately, but Yu Qing was worried that Xing'er wouldn't be able to protect the young master after she left, so..."

"I understand. You did the right thing. Unless there is life-threatening danger, neither you nor Xing'er can leave Xi'er. This is my order, so I won't blame you for not reporting it in time." An Tingyu said lightly.

Similar things had happened before, and not only Yu Qing was afraid that the enemy would divert the attention of the enemy, she was afraid too. So before entering the palace, she said that unless it was really necessary, she hoped that Yu Qing and Xing'er would not leave Xiao Yunxi even a step, because she knew that even if Yu Qing and Xing'er did not report it, the Queen Mother would definitely send someone.

"Yu'er, let's take Xi'er home! At home, even if Feng Beijian pesters her, at least he won't dare to do anything wrong. But in the palace, we can't see him, and we feel too insecure." Jing Aotian said.

An Tingyu pondered for a moment before saying, "I want to send Xi'er to the Nineteenth Villa and let him..."

"No!" Jing Aotian said firmly before An Tingyu finished speaking. But just as he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too excited. "That... I mean, Xi'er is still young. Can you bear to let him leave his parents?"

An Tingyu stared at him, and then stared at him for a long time before she said softly, "Aotian, I'm not stupid, am I?"

Jing Aotian's tone was too unusual. Something must have happened in the Nineteenth Villa. Otherwise, if it was just to ask Xier to go to the Nineteenth Villa, why would he be so excited?

"No... no!" Jing Aotian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, thinking to himself: Oh no! She must have noticed something.

An Tingyu raised her eyebrows lazily, "Then can you tell me the real reason?"

"What's the real reason?" Jing Aotian chose to play dumb, pretending not to understand what she was asking.

An Tingyu's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, "Aotian, you should know my temper. I will only give you one chance. Tell me, what happened in the Nineteenth Villa?"

Hearing this, Jing Aotian sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you. Things have been mysteriously disappearing in Villa Nineteen recently, but we can't find any clues. Maybe something has happened to the people in the villa, or someone has been in. So Villa Nineteen is not very safe."

An Tingyu frowned slightly, "My grandpa and the others should be okay, right?"

If something happened, Jing Aotian would not be so calm, and he would not have not told her.

"They are all fine, but the Nineteenth Villa is no longer an impenetrable fortress. Sending Xi'er there is really not a wise choice."

"Do my grandfather and others know about this?" An Tingyu asked again.

Jing Aotian nodded, "I know, but they all told me not to tell you, saying it would make you worry, so I had to keep it a secret from you. I originally asked them to return to Tianmen, but your grandfather said that unless Long Xunyi personally summoned him, he wouldn't come back. As for your father, his opinions are almost the same as your grandfather's, but he follows your grandfather's wishes. If your grandfather comes back, he will probably come back too."

"Nowhere is safe, so let them come back! At least at home, we can see them every day and have someone to take care of them." An Tingyu made a decision. Although it was impossible to ask Long Xunyi to summon them, because the matter between Grandpa An and An Donglin was still unclear, Long Xunyi was the king of a country after all. Even if he wanted to do something personal, he couldn't issue such a summons. So she had to go to the Nineteenth Villa in person to bring them all back, so that she might feel more at ease.
