Chapter 138 Both sides are afraid, neither side dares to make a move



The butler thought it was impossible.

With his young lady's guts, she only dares to act so loudly at home. She wouldn't dare go out of town to play. She's afraid of running into barbarian soldiers.

However, in order to prove that Sun Xingyao was wrong, he still sent someone to ask.

As it turned out, the person who asked said that Miss Tian really did go out of town with Sisi to play.

The butler could hardly believe his ears!

"Young Master?"

Tian Minglei knew his sister wouldn't dare go out of town to play. "Don't worry, with Sixth Miss and Uncle Hei around, Miss will be fine. Wait a moment, I'll go in and tell my father everything's alright."

Tian Minglei told General Tian and then returned with his steward.

When he returned, Feng Chan was apologizing to Madam Tian. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't played hide-and-seek with Twelve and Thirteen in the manor, Miss Tian wouldn't have been unable to find me. If Miss Tian had found me, she wouldn't have run away."

"It's not your fault. It's her..."

Before Madam Tian could finish speaking, Tian Minglei entered. "Mother, don't worry, my younger sister went to play outside the city with Xiao Liu and Lao Hei."

"Outside the city?!" Madam Tian also thought that Miss Tian wouldn't dare to go outside the city to play. Madam Tian was about to say, "Are you mistaken?"

Tian Minglei looked at Feng Chan and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"No trouble at all. I'm relieved to know your younger sister is with Xiao Liu and Lao Hei. Um, why don't you keep your mother company? She was terrified just now."

"good."

Feng Chan spoke a few more words to Madam Tian and then left.

As soon as she left, Madam Tian grabbed Tian Minglei's arm and said, "Did your younger sister really leave the city?"

"Hmm." Tian Minglei looked at Madam Tian and said, "Did my younger sister go to cause trouble for Yun Xiaoliu?"

"...You mean your younger sister was forced out of the city?"

"You know how timid my younger sister is. Even if you gave her the courage, she wouldn't dare to go out of the city."

"..."

Seeing that Madam Tian remained silent, Tian Minglei asked again, "Mother, did my younger sister go to cause trouble for Yun Xiaoliu?"

Madam Tian rubbed her forehead. "Your eldest sister wasn't going to cause trouble for Yun Xiaoliu, she was going to cause trouble for her mother. As a result, her mother played hide-and-seek with her younger brother and cousin in the mansion."

"And then she met Yun Xiaoliu?"

"It should be."

"How is my younger sister planning to cause trouble for the Third Young Mistress?"

"How else can we find her? The Third Young Mistress came from the Hundred Flowers Brothel."

No wonder Yun Xiaoliu told the soldiers guarding the city gate that he was taking his younger sister to see the world. "Mother, you need to keep a close eye on your younger sister."

Madam Tian sighed inwardly. She really shouldn't have focused so much on battling that vixen surnamed Xu. She had defeated the vixen, but her eldest daughter's character had gone astray.

"Mother knows. Mother will definitely change your eldest sister's temper. Yun Xiaoliu won't do anything to your eldest sister, will he? How many guards did Yun Xiaoliu take with him when he went out?"

"I only brought one."

"What?!" Madam Tian jumped up from her chair. "You only brought one?!"

"Hmm." Tian Minglei wanted to give his mother a good scare so that she wouldn't always hesitate to be ruthless. "Yun Xiaoliu has a bad temper. A group of bandits provoked the Yun family with a few words, and Yun Xiaoliu ransacked their hideout."

"What?! Someone provoked her a few times, and her family ransacked their entire place?"

"Um."

"So...so did she take your younger sister out of the city with the intention of killing her? And then claiming they encountered bandits?"

"No, that won't happen." If he said yes, his mother would definitely go to his father and beg him to take people out to rescue his younger sister. "Yun Xiaoliu probably just wants to scare my younger sister."

Mrs. Tian felt a little relieved. "How did you know?"

"Yun Xiaoliu told the soldiers guarding the city gate that he was taking my younger sister out to see the world."

"See the world? See what world?"

"I don't know either. But didn't my younger sister bring up someone else's mother's background? I reckon Yun Xiaoliu might just throw my younger sister into a brothel."

"What?! If she throws your younger sister into a brothel, how will she ever get married? No, if she wanted to throw your younger sister into a brothel, she wouldn't even need to leave the city. There are brothels in the city too. She definitely wants your younger sister dead. No, I have to go find your father."

After saying that, Madam Tian was about to go find General Tian.

Tian Minglei quickly pulled Madam Tian back. "Mother, Ningyuan City is now only populated by the civilians and soldiers we brought; there are no brothels at all."

"...Then...then your father should bring your younger sister back. She only brought one guard with her when she went out, but your younger sister didn't bring any guards."

"That one is enough."

"One isn't enough. No, I have to go find your father."

Seeing that Madam Tian insisted on going, Tian Minglei had no choice but to tell her about Sisi and Lao Hei's great achievements.

Mrs. Tian felt a little relieved after hearing this. "Are they really that capable?"

"Really. Mother, you really need to keep a closer eye on my younger sister, otherwise she'll lose her life sooner or later."

"Mother knows, and Mother will not soften her heart this time. Tell me, where did Yun Xiaoliu take your younger sister?"

"I have no idea."

"How about we have your father send someone out to look for them?"

"No need. Didn't you see that the Third Young Madam wasn't worried at all when she heard me say that my eldest sister had left the city with Yun Xiaoliu and Lao Hei?"
