Wishful Things

Thinking about it, it was roughly like this in the previous life.

It has to be said that her family was really innocent and unlucky...

"Watch out for the brazier!"

Cui Xiu sensed the danger and hurriedly shouted.

Cui's eyes tightened. Seeing that Cui Xin couldn't stop him from falling like a cow, he subconsciously reached out to pull his son.

In sight, there was a young girl's figure dodging forward one step faster than her.

Xu Mingyi nimbly pulled Xu Mingshi away and threw him to one side.

Before everyone had time to react, they only heard the girl say "Get out of the way" to the servants outside the hall, and at the same time lifted the corner of her skirt and kicked the brazier that was about to touch Cui Xin's body.

"Clang!"

This kick was fast and accurate, and when everyone waited to see clearly, the brazier flew out of the mourning hall, hit the stone steps outside the hall, rolled down, and the burning material flew and flames splashed in all directions.

The servants quickly moved away.

Cui Xin, who fell heavily on the ground, cried out in pain.

Seeing the elder brother grinning in pain, Cui Xiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

luckily.

Fortunately, the girl from Zhen Guogong's mansion is agile, if she really hurt the eldest grandson of Zhen Guogong's mansion this time, their future in Yong'an Bo's mansion may not be bright from now on.

I don't know if it happened suddenly or for some other reason, the servants outside the mourning hall were busy putting out the brazier, but the people in the mourning hall didn't step forward to help Cui Xin up in time.

Even Cui Xin's eldest son stood behind his mother, Wen Shi, without moving.

After a while, it was Cui Xiu who helped his elder brother up.

Cui Xin cursed and shouted that his arm hurt badly.

Xu Mingyi took a look, reckoning that he was lucky enough to hurt his bones, and said casually, "Let's call a doctor."

After all, it is impossible for her to meddle in this nosy business, so she kicked the brazier away just now, but she was just afraid that the other party, like a mad dog, would catch someone and bite someone, and if she was burned by the fire, she would turn around and blackmail her house tomorrow.

Cui Xiu nodded, and forced his elder brother to leave here.

"Sister-in-law, elder brother always talks nonsense when he's drunk, don't take it to heart... We don't know how sister-in-law is." The second wife persuaded Wenshi softly, and sighed.

Other female family members also followed suit and persuaded.

Wenshi closed her eyes and said nothing, a burst of dizziness hit her, making her sway.

Cui's eyesight is sharp and his hands are quick to support him.

"Just let them guard first, and I will accompany you back to rest first."

Wenshi didn't nod or shake his head, but tears flowed from his eyes.

Cui helped her out of the mourning hall.

Xu Mingyi's siblings also left, halfway there, Xu Mingshi took Ah Jiu to the guest room in the front yard.

Cui Shi and Xu Mingyi accompanied Wen Shi back to the Shiziyuan.

"Sister and sister, did something happen to Qing'er?"

In the inner room, Cui asked in a low voice.

Wen Shi sat on the couch and wept again when he heard the words.

There was no one else here, and she didn't want to hide it from her aunt, who had always been close to her, so she nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "Qing'er is gone..."

gone? !

Cui Shi looked shocked.

Even though he had just heard Wen's words in the mourning hall, he could not help but have guessed in his heart, but Xu Mingyi was greatly surprised to hear these words.

She had never heard of this in her previous life.

But think about it, she never cared about the affairs of the Yong'anbo Mansion, if the Yong'anbo Mansion deliberately suppressed this matter, naturally there would be no chance for it to reach her ears.

"It's so good, how could it... disappear?" Cui hurriedly asked, "How long has it been?"

"It's been half a month..."

"..."

How long has it been?

Cui frowned tightly.

After a while, he said: "Brother and sister, if you still want to say something, you can tell what happened exactly. If you don't want to say it, I won't ask any more."

Even if she wanted to know the inside story of this matter, she was still a half outsider. If Wen Shi didn't want her to intervene, she couldn't force it.

Exactly what was going on with this was not clear to her.

Wenshi wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, trying to calm himself down.

The loss of a beloved daughter is the most painful and terrible blow to a mother, and every time it is mentioned, it hurts again.

But she doesn't think it's time to give up just yet.

Only by speaking out can there be hope.

"Half a month ago in the evening, the girl in Qing'er's yard suddenly came to find me. She said that it was around mid-afternoon. Qing'er left the yard by herself. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't find anyone anywhere..."

"After searching all night like this, I found out that besides Qing'er, Qi Lin, the book boy next to the Shizi, was also missing... He was bought back when he was young, and he is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year. He was born quite handsome, grew up with Qing'er, and we can be called familiar with each other—but if it is said that Qing'er will elope with him, I would never believe it!"

"Elopement, who mentioned it first?" Cui asked with a frown.

"It was the girl in Qing'er's room who said that Qing'er had seen Qi Lin twice in the past few days... and they were all alone." Wen said: "Besides...the day Qing'er didn't see her, she also left alone. The yard was not accompanied by a servant girl. Afterwards, it was found that many of the jewelry in her room were missing, and I asked someone to check, only to find out that after she left the mansion that day, she had personally sold many of her jewelry for cash. ..."

In addition, the two daughters have already turned thirteen, and she was going to pay attention to their marriage a few days ago——

Pieces piled up together, it is hard not to think of elopement.

She disagreed with this guess and went to find her husband, but who knew that the matter had reached the ears of her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law believed that this was definitely an elopement, and scolded Qing'er for ruining the family tradition of the Yong'an uncle's house, and she was also reprimanded for improper upbringing.

She begged the mansion to send more people to look for it, and if it didn't work, she should report to the officials, and she should bring the child back and ask what happened.

However, the mother-in-law, who had said all the ugly and vicious words, vomited blood without dying. The husband slapped her in front of the second room, and said that it was impossible to even think about finding someone with great fanfare. I can't find her inside, I think I don't have this daughter, and I only say that the emergency is gone, even if I find it in the future, I can't recognize it!

All in all, the most important thing is to suppress this matter and keep the reputation of the Bofu from being tarnished.

She was so chilled by what she heard, she did everything she could, and sent all the people around her to look for it, but she could only wait for the news every day and night.

She also asked her natal family for help, and her parents agreed to secretly inquire for her, but due to the attitude of the uncle's house, her father also did not dare to publicize it, and so far there has been no progress.

"By the way, why didn't you see Cousin Wei today?"

Xu Mingyi asked after hearing all this.

The two sisters of the Cui family are twins, and they should be the closest to each other. Apart from the personal servant girl, the one who knows the most about Cousin Qing may be Cousin Wei.
