To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 434 Looking for people

  The gentleman of Pingnan Palace turned his back on his back.

  Princess Pingnan supported her sick body and scolded Wei Wen's close maid, Zisu: "Baby maid, please explain the situation to me clearly!"

  Zisu knelt on the ground, her body trembling like a sieve, and choked up what happened after leaving the princess mansion: "The princess's expression was not right when she left the princess mansion, and she ordered the coachman to go to Qingxing Street..."

  When mentioning Qingxing Street, the first thing the people in the room thought of was that there was a wine shop, and then they thought of Miss Luo.

   Wei Qiang looked complicated, Wei Feng showed resentment, and Princess Pingnan was even more ugly.

"The princess asked the maid to stay in the carriage, saying that she wanted to go for a walk alone. The maid waited for a long time before the princess came back, so she got out of the car to look for it. As a result, there were no people in the shops that the princess might go to..." Afterwards, Zisu couldn't help sobbing softly.

   "What's the funeral!" Princess Pingnan wanted to tear Zisu to the bone with her eyes, "Which shops did the princess go to?"

  Zisu choked with sobs and said, "I've asked about the powder shop, the tailor shop, the grocery store, and the teahouse servants who the princess has been to, and they all said that they have never seen a girl dressed like the princess..."

   "Didn't you go to a restaurant to ask?" Wei Feng interrupted suddenly.

   Zisu shook her head.

   "Why didn't you go?" Princess Pingnan asked calmly.

  Zisu hesitated for a moment and said, "The princess doesn't like Miss Luo, so she definitely won't go to a wine shop."

   "Confused!" Princess Pingnan slapped the table.

   If you don’t like it, you won’t go?

  When my heart is on fire, maybe I just want to find trouble with the person I don’t like.

  Princess Pingnan glanced at her two sons, and told Wei Feng: "Feng'er, take someone to Qingxing Street and ask about every shop. You can't make a living person disappear out of thin air."

   Wei Feng glanced at Wei Qiang and nodded calmly.

   Seeing Wei Feng go out, Princess Pingnan said softly: "Qiang'er, don't think too much, it is more convenient for Feng'er to go out to do things than you."

  At this time, the Pingnan Palace can only be safe with its tail between its legs. Naturally, the deposed prince should stay away from the eyes of the world.

  Wei Qiang nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mother, I'm going out first."

   Seeing the eldest son's lifeless appearance, Princess Pingnan was heartbroken and disappointed, and nodded slightly.

   Wei Qiang walked out of the main courtyard, his face completely sank.

  In the history of princes being deposed, most of them lost their lives, and a few were imprisoned. In the eyes of the world, he, the deposed prince who could return to the palace and continue to be a noble son, had a good ending, but only he knew what it was like.

  The younger brother who used to be an ignorant child was in front of the eldest son, but he has become an invisible existence, even if he is walking in the palace, he can see and dodge from the eyes of the servants.

   Such days are really enough!

  Wei Qiang returned to the room, picked up the jug and poured it vigorously.

  The smell of alcohol drifted out through the crack of the door, and the two maids guarding the porch looked at each other and sighed.

   Serving such a master is really hopeless.

   Wei Feng led some servants including Zisu to Qingxing Street, questioning those shops one by one.

  Beside the persimmon tree with red persimmon fruits hanging, people in the restaurant are eating persimmons around the stone table.

   The persimmons washed with well water are juicy and plump, sweet to the heart.

   "Won't Miss Luo eat?".

  Luo Sheng smiled: "Xiu Gu made two jars of drunk crabs a few days ago, and said they can eat them today."

  Wei Han: "..."

   Everyone around the stone table eating persimmons turned their heads and looked at Luo Sheng silently.

   After a while, Sheng Sanlang asked Xiuyue: "Xiugu, are you really eating drunk crab tonight?"

  Xiu Gu smiled and nodded.

   Sheng Saburo looked down at the half of the persimmon in his hand, and suddenly couldn't eat any more.

  Although persimmons are sweet, the persimmon trees can’t run away, and they can be picked and eaten at any time, but drunk crabs are rare!

   "Cousin, why didn't you say it earlier!" It is not easy for others to accuse, but Sheng Sanlang is not polite.

  If he hadn't considered King Kaiyang's mood, he would have rushed over and shook his cousin's shoulders to show his excitement.

  King Kaiyang...is not in a good mood either.

  He has already eaten four persimmons, and it seems a bit dangerous to eat drunk crabs.

   It’s no wonder Wei Han, anyone who sees something that they often appreciate is picked by others, thinks it’s worthwhile to eat more.

  Everyone looked at Luo Sheng with accusing eyes.

  At this time, Kouer entered the courtyard and reported: "Girl, Prince Pingnan brought someone to our side."

  Luo Sheng frowned slightly, and walked out.

   A group of people lost their mood to eat persimmons, and they all followed suit.

  Wei Feng had already opened the door and entered the restaurant, the female shopkeeper went up to greet him calmly: "I'm sorry, guest officer, our restaurant is not open yet."

   "I have something to ask you."

   "What does the prince want to ask?" A cold voice came.

  Wei Feng heard the sound and looked, and saw Luo Sheng walking out of the curtain with a cold face, then Kouer and Hongdou, then Wei Han, Sheng Sanlang...

   Wei Feng subconsciously thought about the number of servants he brought, and forced a smile to greet Wei Han: "Uncle Wang."

   "What are you here for?" Wei Han asked lightly.

   "My nephew came to ask the manager of the restaurant if he saw Wen'er today."

  The female shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I haven't seen it before."

   "I wonder if other people have seen it?" Wei Feng looked around the crowd, and finally fell on Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng said calmly: "The shopkeeper has been guarding the restaurant. If she hasn't seen it, no one else will. Why don't you ask elsewhere."

  Wei Feng looked at her, and couldn't see any clues from those indifferent eyes, but he was unwilling to leave: "Miss Luo saw her sister at the Princess Mansion today, did she find anything unusual?"

   "Not found."

  Luo Sheng's answer was so blunt that Wei Feng opened his mouth and forgot to speak for a moment.

   "Feng'er, since no one has seen it here, you should ask elsewhere."

  When Wei Feng heard the word "Feng'er", he lost the confidence to stay for a long time, and said goodbye.

   "The little princess is really missing." Hongdou hurriedly chased him out to watch the excitement, the gloating in his eyes was not at all concealed.

  Luo Sheng thought about it, then walked out.

   Wei Han didn't go out with him, but went to his usual seat and looked at the familiar figure through the window.

  Everything seemed to be normal on Qingxing Street. Wei Feng walked into a teahouse with a few servants, as if he didn't intend to go to war.

  The female shopkeeper of the makeup shop opposite the restaurant also came out to look around, met Luo Sheng's eyes and smiled politely.

  Luo Sheng nodded in response, and whispered to Kerr: "Turn around and ask the beggars on Qingxing Street, have you seen a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wearing an apricot-colored silver silk pleated skirt today?"

  Correll quietly agreed.

  Luo Sheng has been standing in front of the restaurant, watching Wei Feng leave Qingxing Street with nothing.

   "Did you say you haven't seen those shops?" Princess Pingnan frowned after hearing Wei Feng's reply, "Let's bring more people around Qingxing Street and spread them around to look for them."

   "Mother and concubine, why don't you report to the officials. The palace is in an embarrassing time, and it may not be appropriate to send too many people out."

"Where did Wen'er go just for fun? Wouldn't it be a joke to report to the official? Then take less people to look for it quietly, and if you can't find it after dark..." Princess Pingnan was silent for a while, and said shyly , "Report to the officer again."
