Chapter 246: Whereabouts
Yizhou, Yunyi Lane in the south of the city.
Xie family villa.
"The winter in Yizhou is not as harsh as that in Bianjing, but the lingering cold is even more biting than that in Bianjing." Cuizhi stood in front of the pear blossom round table and blew on her hands.
Dongxue handed the hand warmer on the table to Cuizhi and started to busy herself with the account book on the table.
"Go and see how the master is doing today. Although the girl is trying to keep the master alive, don't let his health get worse day by day." Dongxue said.
Cuizhi tightened her grip on the hand warmer, leaned closer to Dongxue, and whispered, "I know you're worried about the young lady being branded as unfilial, but the master has gone berserk. He even cursed at her in the house this morning."
Dongxue was slightly stunned. She had gone out with Xie Rongli early this morning and didn't know about this.
"The master cursed at the girl?" Dongxue asked in a serious voice.
Cuizhi glanced towards the inner room, then leaned close to Dongxue and whispered, "Didn't the young lady leave the people the master was used to in Bianjing? She's very dissatisfied with the newly assigned maids and servants. She broke a few teacups this morning, which alarmed the young lady, so she went to the side room."
"The master just wanted to see the girl. I don't know what the father and daughter said in the room. In the end, the master cursed loudly and the whole yard could hear it."
"The maid and the servant who were watching over the master were so frightened that they dared not breathe outside the house. The young lady finally came out and told them that the master's voice was still strong. She ordered that the master should not be given any food for the next few days except water."
Dongxue's eyes were full of surprise. She really couldn't imagine that even after arriving in Yizhou, the master was still arguing with the girl.
In the Xie family, the girls almost always have the final say, and the master's power in the family has been completely undermined.
"My Lord, you really can't see the situation clearly." Dongxue had originally thought about Old Madam Xie's concern for Xie Jing and had taken extra care of him in private, but she didn't expect Xie Jing to remain unrepentant: "You don't care about the young lady at all, you only think about how to cause trouble for her."
"Did you hear clearly what the master and the young lady were arguing about?" Dongxue asked again.
Cuizhi whispered, "It's still about the girl being extremely rebellious, but there seems to be another thing."
"What's up?"
Cuizhi: "The master wants to go out, saying that there is someone he knows in Yizhou and he wants to meet him."
"Who could the lord know in Yizhou?" Dongxue was very curious.
"It's someone from the second branch of the Shi family." Xie Rongying walked out from the inner room, her voice cold and there seemed to be a tiny flame in her eyes.
Dongxue stood up straight: "Someone from the second branch of the Shi family?"
"After Shi Yang and his two sons met, Shi Jiuyue and his mother followed Shi Nian out of Bianjing." Xie Rongying rolled up her sleeves, her brows furrowed slightly. "I didn't expect Shi Nian to meet with my father after returning to Bianjing. I think he told my father about his life in Yizhou, and he wanted to meet him."
"Are you really just going to meet him?" Cuizhi couldn't help but question.
Just as Xie Rongying was about to say that this definitely couldn't be that simple, footsteps were heard outside the house, followed by a knock on the door.
"Master, it's me." Gu Xun spoke.
Xie Rongying sat down in the main seat and said, "Come in."
Gu Xun pushed the door open and walked in. Cuizhi and Dongxue quickly tidied up the account books on the round table and walked towards the inner room.
Gu Xun said, "He has been found."
"Qin Junyi?" Xie Rongying asked with raised eyebrows.
Gu Xun nodded, a complex expression flashed in his eyes, and his tone was a little cautious: "Miss, I want to tell you something."
