Chapter 417 It's really a place where people eat each other

However, no matter how much Qin tried to inquire, Xingxing avoided the question. Qin understood that although the girl was young, she was not easy to fool. No matter how others asked, they would not be able to get her to tell them what she did not want to say.

Because of this, Qin's heart became nervous again. This little girl was not easy to fool. She would return to her parents' home soon, but she must not neglect this little girl.

Otherwise, if the girl goes back and complains to the old lady of Weibei Hou, considering how much her mother-in-law dotes on her, she will definitely be in trouble!

When Qin and Xingxing got off the carriage at the Qin Anbo Mansion, Qin solemnly instructed the housekeeper: "This is my mother-in-law's distinguished guest. She will burn incense in front of the uncle's spirit on my mother-in-law's behalf. You must not neglect her."

The housekeeper was startled and quickly lowered his hands in response.

The mansion of Qin Anbo is now in mourning, and a mourning hall has been set up in the front yard.

Many people came to pay their respects. Amid the mournful music in the mourning hall, faint cries could be heard. It was Qin Anbo's wife and several of Qin Anbo's concubines kneeling in front of the coffin to thank the people who came to pay their respects.

As the aunt of the Marquis Qin An, Qin had a lot to do. Xing Xing was very considerate and said to her, "Fourth Madam, you don't have to accompany me. Just go and do your own thing. I'll go to the front yard to burn incense for the Marquis."

Qin hesitated for a moment, thinking that since the guest was her mother-in-law's distinguished guest, and the guest didn't want her to accompany him, she wouldn't go against the guest's wishes.

"In that case... I'll get busy then. If Miss Yu needs anything, just let someone come find me." After Qin gave the instructions, she saw Xingxing nod in agreement and then hurried away.

Mrs. Qin Anbo was still keeping vigil at the funeral hall. Xingxing was worried that Mrs. Qin Anbo would recognize her and cause trouble again, so she waited for a while. Only after Mrs. Qin Anbo temporarily left the funeral hall did she breathe a sigh of relief and went to the funeral hall.

Qin Anbo's coffin was placed in the mourning hall, with some paper burning basins in front. Several concubines and maids were crying miserably, and the funeral music made people feel sad.

Xingxing thought about An Ningxin's current situation and couldn't feel too sad about the murdered Qin Anbo.

She followed the rules and silently lit three incense sticks for Qin Anbo, thinking, Qin Anbo, if you still have some conscience, please tell your family in a dream and return Hao'er to you.

The incense in front of the coffin was still lingering, and I wondered if the dead Qin Anbo could hear it.

Xingxing offered incense to Qin Anbo, left the mourning hall, and secretly went to the backyard.

She hid in the dark first, listening to the occasional conversations of the maids passing by, and she actually heard the news about Hao Ge'er.

After Haoger was forcibly brought back, he kept crying. Old Madam Qin Anbo was already very sad to see her son die, and when she heard Haoger howling for his mother, even though the person was her grandson, she had no patience at all and with a cold face, she had people take Haoger to a separate small courtyard.

Xingxing sneaked into the small yard.

The doors and windows of the main house in the small courtyard were locked, and there was no one else in the courtyard.

Perhaps they felt that locking the door was safe enough.

Xing Xing sneaked to the window and listened to Hao Ge'er's sobbing. She lowered her voice, knocked on the window, and called out, "Hao Ge'er."

Haogeer seemed to recognize Xingxing's voice. He was obviously a little excited and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Sister Xingxing!"

Xing Xing responded: "Hey, it's me!"

There was a sound of a chair falling in the room, but Haoge ignored it and ran to the window, trying to open it.

"The window was locked from the outside. You can't open it." Xing Xing whispered, "Hao Ge'er, are you okay?"

When Haoge heard Xingxing's concerned voice, he felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears.

He cried bitterly.

Xing Xing looked around. She was not sure when someone would come back, so she had to interrupt Hao Ge'er's crying: "...Hao Ge'er, don't cry yet. I sneaked in, and I have to go back and tell your mother something. If you keep crying there, I won't have anything to say to your mother when I go back."

Xingxing's words effectively stopped Haoger from crying.

Hao Ge'er sobbed and his voice became hoarse from crying. He said in a hoarse voice with grievance: "Sister Xingxing, where is my mother? Why didn't my mother come to pick me up..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help sobbing again.

Xingxing also felt very sympathetic.

During these days, Hao Ge'er first experienced a breakdown in the carriage, his mother almost died, his sister was kidnapped, his father was killed, and now even he himself was kidnapped and locked up in such a strange environment——

Haoge'er is only four years old this year and is still a baby. It is amazing that he can force himself to listen to Xingxing's words.

Xing Xing said softly, "Hao'er, you are already a little man. You have to be strong. Your mother is trying to save you at home. If you are not strong and cry yourself sick, I don't know how sad your mother will be when she comes to save you."

Haoge responded with a sob in grievance.

Xing Xing waited until Hao Ge'er calmed down a little before asking, "Did they tell you anything when they brought you here and locked you up?"

Hao Ge'er said aggrievedly: "They said that they brought me here so that I could enjoy the life of Qin Anbo... But isn't Qin Anbo my father? I don't want to be any Qin Anbo, I just want my mother..."

Haoge couldn't help sobbing again.

Xingxing knew Haoge's attitude.

Hao Ge'er was not interested in the wealth of the Earl's house, he just wanted to be with his mother.

Xingxing coaxed Haoger for a while in a low voice, and then asked Haoger about the attitudes of Mrs. Qin Anbo and Old Madam Qin Anbo. After all, Haoger was young, and he had been crying all the time, and his physical strength had long been overdrawn. At this moment, he simply answered Xingxing's few sentences, and his voice became increasingly vague, and finally he was completely silent.

Xingxing peeked through the window and saw Haoge's small body curled up in a ball, lying on a thick blanket on the ground, and falling asleep.

Xing Xing pursed her lips and sighed silently.

At the same time, Xingxing became more determined to help An Ningxin bring Haoger back home.

This Qin Anbo Mansion is really a cannibalistic place!

How old is Hao Ge'er? He actually locked such a small child in the room and did not care about him!

They forced Hao Ge'er to come here, but were unwilling to treat him well, just for the sake of the inheritance of the title of Qin Anbo Mansion!

Xing Xing clenched her fists.

She sneaked out of the yard again.

Xingxing ran to the front yard and spoke to the steward of Qin Anbo's mansion, asking him to tell the Fourth Lady on her behalf, and then she said that she was going back home first.
