Chapter 53 Suddenly
Mr. Bai thought of the inexplicably missing gold jewelry, but a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He pretended to be helpless and said, "I don't want to move places, but you screamed too loudly last night. I was afraid the neighbors would hear, so I had to get up early and bring you here."
When he said this, he leaned over to Sun Qingqing's ear and whispered, "Next time, you can't scream like that again."
Sun Qingqing's pretty face instantly turned red as blood, and she even said in a low voice, almost in shame and anger: "Don't say that! If you say that again, I will never be able to face anyone again!"
Mr. Bai was amused by her reaction and suddenly burst into laughter.
Sun Qingqing secretly watched him laughing, and a deep sweetness welled up in her heart: How lucky she was to have such a man fall in love with her.
Thanks to Xie Xiu and Song Xingzhou's refusal to marry her, and Zhu Xiucai's disdain for her, she was able to meet Mr. Bai.
"My dear, are there any clothes for me here?"
Sun Qingqing looked at Mr. Bai nervously, "Can you please go out for a moment? I... I want to take a shower and change clothes..."
"I think you're getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to order me around."
Mr. Bai pinched her face teasingly, then stood up and said, "Well, I'll go out and do something.
Someone will bring in hot water later, and there are clothes prepared for you in the closet, so take care of yourself."
He gave the instructions with a gentle smile, turned and walked out. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and turned gloomy.
After arriving outside, he gave a few instructions to the servants, quickly sent his subordinates to another room, and whispered, "Keep a close eye on that place. If that little thief dares to show up again, he will never come back!"
"Yes!" The subordinate quickly took the order and left.
Mr. Bai sat for a while with a gloomy face before he picked up the book again and continued reading.
Now is not the best time to get rid of Xie Xiu. We have to wait until Xie Xiu sets off for the capital and then take action on the way.
I just don’t know when Xie Xiu plans to leave?
This guy is really weird. After knowing his identity, he is not in a hurry to go to the capital.
Where does he get the confidence from?
Without Xie Yun's help, it would not be so easy for him to pass the imperial examination and become an official!
What is Xie Xiu waiting for?
What was Xie Xiu waiting for? He was naturally waiting for Xie Jia to elope with someone.
He is not stupid. Chen Fang has always regarded him as a thorn in her side. If he rushes to the capital now and happens to catch Xie Jia eloping, won't that vicious woman Chen Fang put the blame on him directly?
So he needed to wait until Xie Jia eloped with someone before taking action. He walked slowly on the road, so that when they arrived in the capital, they could avoid her perfectly.
By then, no matter how dissatisfied Chen Fang was with him, she would never be able to blame him for Xie Jia's elopement!
Anyway, Xie Xiu was not in a hurry at all, and he waited for half a month.
During this period, he learned from Xie Ying's inner voice that the evil hand of the Black Qilin Guard had been lurking in the dark, but he was still not in a hurry.
He just found a random excuse to train the young and strong men in Tujiazhuang.
Because Tu Yong had served in the army and was later injured and discharged, he was rewarded with a large sum of silver by the commander. He then returned home, bought land, built Tujiazhuang, and married Liu Zhichun, who came from the palace, and became a rich man.
These people already admired Tu Yong very much and had practiced with him since childhood.
But in order to avoid people suspecting that someone in Tujiazhuang had bad intentions, he didn't dare to practice too often.
Xie Xiu had them training again and had informed County Magistrate Wang in advance.
Their whole family was preparing to go to the capital, but they were worried about the dangers of the journey, so they wanted to bring some young and strong guards with them.
County Magistrate Wang already knew his identity, so he naturally wouldn't suspect him of any rebellious intentions.
What's more, he sent people to secretly take a look, and found that those people were just ordinary young men, without much murderous aura, and there were not many of them.
County Magistrate Wang was even less worried.
Xie Xiu then focused on training people. Regardless of their true strength, he trained them to be quite intimidating.
The young and strong men trained around Tujiazhuang every day, scaring the nearby ruffians away two miles and not daring to come here to cause trouble.
Naturally, those bandits hiding in the mountains would not dare to come here for a head-on confrontation.
Tujiazhuang doesn't have much money to begin with, so why are they trying to fight with this bunch of young men just for that little bit of silver?
It’s not like I’m crazy because I’m poor!
However, the bandits in the mountains were not crazy, but Luo was almost going crazy!
She searched for half a month, waited for half a month, and almost cried her eyes out, but Sun Qingqing's whereabouts were still unknown, no one saw her alive, and no body was found after her death.
How could the Luo family bear it?
She really couldn't think of any good solution, so she shamelessly went to Tujiazhuang and asked Tu Yong to help find someone.
When Tu Yong heard her request, his cold and serious face almost cracked on the spot!
He really couldn't figure it out, so he turned around and asked Xie Xiu, "Tell me, how could she still have the nerve to ask me for help and ask me to help her find Sun Qingqing?"
Xie Xiu had a blank expression on his face: "Maybe it's because my father-in-law has been too kind to her and her mother over the years, which gave her some kind of misconception."
Tu Yong's eyes widened in anger, and he clenched his fists, wanting to hit him: "Stop talking nonsense. What kind of misconception can I give her? What if this gets to your mother-in-law?"
He frowned irritably, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly looked at Xie Xiu: "Go and send her away, and I won't see her! To avoid people thinking too much!"
After saying this, without waiting for Xie Xiu to refuse, he turned around and strode away.
Xie Xiu watched his tall figure walk away quickly, and couldn't help but curl his lips and muttered quietly, "He slipped away pretty fast!"
It's so unfair! He actually threw a troublemaker like Luo to his son-in-law!
It's too much!
He didn't provoke this woman.
However, although Xie Xiu was secretly dissatisfied, he still went to send Luo away.
He was too lazy to argue with Luo, so he said, "If you really want your father-in-law to help, then I can only report it to the authorities and ask County Magistrate Wang to send someone to look for it.
But in this way, Sun Qingqing’s disappearance could no longer be concealed.
After all, she is a young lady. If people knew that she had been missing for more than half a month, her reputation would be completely ruined.
But if you're really worried about her safety, it's best to report it to the police."
Luo's whole body trembled, as if he had suffered a huge blow, and he didn't know how to react.
Before she could make a decision, Zhang Yougen's angry voice suddenly rang out from behind her: "We won't report it to the police!"
After saying that, he bowed to Xie Xiu and said, "Thank you, my dear. My wife has been a little crazy lately. I'm really sorry!
I will take her back right now. Please don't spread the news of Qingqing's disappearance.
I would rather she died cleanly outside than bear any stigma."
Xie Xiu smiled faintly: "In that case, please do as you please, Boss Zhang."
He understood Zhang Yougen's concerns. As he had said before, if people knew that Sun Qingqing had been missing for half a month, she would no longer have a good reputation.
So Zhang Yougen didn't want to report to the police.
Because once the police are notified, regardless of whether the person can be found or not, countless versions of Sun Qingqing's humiliation will circulate among the people.
Rather than this, it is better to keep it a secret. At least Sun Qingqing will not become the topic of conversation for those scoundrels after dinner.
Even if he died quietly, it was better than being ridiculed while alive and causing damage to the Zhang family's reputation.
After all, Sun Qingqing was neither Zhang Yougen's biological daughter nor raised by him, so he was naturally more cruel than her mother, Luo.
He was too lazy to say anything more. He watched Zhang Yougen pull Luo away and turned around to go home.
As for whether Sun Qingqing is dead or alive, or where she is hiding, he doesn't care.
However, Xie Xiu never expected that on this night, when he and Tu Jiaojiao were about to go to bed, they suddenly heard a "bang" sound, as if something was thrown in.
Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao both changed color and quickly stood up.
At the same time, Xie Ying, who was lying in the cradle, opened her eyes silently.
