Chapter 57 An Yu is missing?
This proposal naturally suited Uncle Ye's taste.
He really wanted to cause trouble for the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion yesterday, but something happened later and his mind was focused on worrying about Ye Qiongying's safety, so he didn't pay attention to Yin Xu.
Now that the eldest girl has returned home and things are almost settled, Ye Qiongying's mention of this naturally rekindled her anger towards Yin Xu.
Speaking of which, it’s all that bastard’s fault!
If it weren't for Yin Xu's mischief, they would have gone to Daniu earlier, and the timing of a series of events in between would have been staggered, and they would not have encountered Du Chengxiu and his group of idiots.
"Okay," Uncle Ye rubbed his hands, "I'll go get some help right away. Miss, should we go unarmed or bring some weapons? Fighting with fists will make you feel better and it's easier to hide the wound. If you use a knife, the wound can be less severe."
Ye Qiongying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Uncle Ye looking like he wanted to rush out and fight, she hurriedly said:
"Please take it easy. Yin Xu is a nobleman after all. We can vent our anger, but we cannot cause a murder case in the capital. Otherwise, I, the captain, will be exiled like Du Ming."
"Okay..." Uncle Ye gave up his plan to see blood in disappointment.
"Oh, right," thinking about what happened yesterday, Ye Qiongying quickly remembered another person, "Where is the young man I brought back to the mansion yesterday? Is there any sign of his memory recovering?"
Uncle Ye was stunned, and immediately patted his forehead:
"Oh no! I forgot about him! I sent him to your courtyard yesterday after returning home. I had intended to make him a servant... but then I was busy asking about the situation at the Prime Minister's Mansion and forgot about this kid."
The two of them hurried to Ye Qiongying's yard.
When Wen Ping saw Ye Qiongying coming back, her face was relieved:
"Master, you are back! You did not come back last night, I was really scared to death."
Ye Qiongying nodded and said soothingly:
"I'm fine. By the way, Uncle Ye sent a young man here yesterday. Where is he?"
When it comes to this, Wen Ping also has a headache:
"Oh, that's the guy I bumped into in the restaurant that day, right? As soon as he came here yesterday, he locked himself in the room. No matter how I called him, he refused to come out and didn't even eat! I was planning to ask Uncle Ye about it today, and it just so happened that you, my master, are back."
An Yu collapsed under the carriage yesterday and was sent to the clinic for treatment, and then to the Ye Mansion. In such a long time, how could she not have a drop of water?
You won’t faint in the house, will you?
Ye Qiongying still remembered the old doctor's evaluation of his physical condition. It was a miracle that he was still alive.
She asked about the room and hurried forward to knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
There was no response from inside the room.
"Anyu?" Ye Qiongying called out from outside the door, "Are you in there? Open the door, I'll take you to dinner."
The room was still quiet.
Are you really dizzy?
Ye Qiongying didn't delay any longer, took two steps back, and then kicked sideways.
The originally closed door was kicked by her and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The situation in the room finally came to light.
No one is empty.
The beds were neatly made, and didn't look like anyone had slept in them.
There was no one at the table or chairs, or in the cabinet.
The back window of the room was half open.
Uncle Ye went to check:
"He sneaked out through the window."
"That's not right," Uncle Ye looked left and right, "I personally taught these boys in the mansion. With that weakling's physical fitness, he would have been suppressed long ago if he wanted to climb over the wall. How come there is no movement until now? He is probably still in the mansion."
Ye Qiongying left the room and walked around the yard.
It's unlikely that someone is hiding in other rooms, so it can only be...
Ye Qiongying was just about to ask someone to come and search the plants by the wall when she heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes. Then, a handsome young man with a pale face and red lips carefully poked his head out from inside, rubbing his eyes.
His skin was so fair that the faint dark circles under his eyes became somewhat noticeable.
There were some stains on the side of his cheek from somewhere, and there were a few grass leaves standing on his head, like a few strands of hair stuck in his hair. He looked at me from the bushes with a dazed look in his eyes.
The morning dew wet his hair a little, and his black hair stuck to his fair cheeks. There was a drop of crystal water between his nose.
Even though they had seen him many times yesterday, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by his beauty, as if they had seen some elf from the jungle that accidentally fell to the human world.
"Sister...sister?" An Yu called out in a daze at first, and the next moment, his misty eyes lit up. He couldn't wait to get out of the bushes, and one of his shoes fell off. He stumbled towards Ye Qiongying, squeezed Wen Ping who was blocking Ye Qiongying, and threw himself in front of Ye Qiongying. He didn't do anything overly offensive, but when he got close to her, he carefully grabbed the corner of her clothes, "Sister!"
The shoe on one of his feet was shaky, and the other foot was barefoot, stepping directly on the ground. There was some mud on his foot, which stood out on his fair skin like an ink spot on white paper.
He is obviously not short, but when he looks at me like this, one can't help but feel pity and love for him like a child.
Even someone like Ye Qiongying, who had lived a second life, couldn't help but feel moved and treated him as a pretty little brother:
"What's wrong? Why aren't you eating? What are you doing hiding over there?"
"An Yu...I want to find my sister," An Yu pursed her lips and said pitifully, "My sister is gone!"
As he spoke, his stomach began to growl.
As he talked more, Ye Qiongying always felt that his voice was a little familiar, but not that familiar.
Apart from her little cousin, there seems to be no one else around her who can talk to her in such a childish and coquettish way, right?
It must be just an illusion.
Ye Qiongying looked at An Yu inquiringly, but only saw his extremely dependent eyes, as if he couldn't leave her for a moment.
Ye Qiongying covered her forehead helplessly.
I don’t know if there is any new news from the government office. If An Yu’s family cannot be found within three days and she sets off for the border town, what should this kid do?
"Go prepare some food," Ye Qiongying told Wen Ping, and then called An Yu, "Come on, follow me inside to eat something. We have something to do later, so be good."
"An Yu, just listen to your sister." An Yu nodded vigorously.
Uncle Ye did not follow in. He waited until Wen Ping ran out of food and brought it in. Then he went in the direction of the bushes where An Yu had appeared.
