Chapter 258 I will go find her myself and bring her back!
the other side.
Haiqiu led Xu Liuer on a swift journey.
We walked through groves of small trees and came to a side gate.
When she came out, it was already late at night, and there was an inconspicuous carriage parked in front of her.
It appeared particularly lonely under the faint moonlight.
Beside the carriage stood a familiar figure.
Qin Jiuwei's face was hidden under the heavy cloak and hood.
She raised her head, her eyes clear and bright.
Upon seeing Qin Jiuwei, Xu Liuer's eyes immediately reddened, and she suddenly stepped forward to hug her.
Her voice trembled with tears, "Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you for helping me."
"I'm so useless, I can't do anything, and I'm even causing you so much trouble to help me."
When she first wanted to escape, she also considered seeking Qin Jiuwei's help.
But she quickly dismissed the idea; she couldn't implicate her sister-in-law.
She hasn't read many books and can't do anything right. She always makes a mess of things; she's a useless person.
Someone like her should just be left to fend for herself; why bother others with her affairs?
But to my surprise, after her sister-in-law realized she was in trouble, she not only agreed to help her, but also went to such great lengths.
What merit does she possess to deserve this...?
Xu Liuer's tears kept falling, and the tip of her nose turned red from crying, like a frightened little rabbit.
Waaaaah, my sister-in-law is so kind...
Qin Jiuwei reached out and gently patted her back, saying softly, "Let's go quickly, don't delay."
Xu Liuer nodded vigorously, knowing that now was not the time to talk about this.
My sister-in-law saved her; we can't let her efforts go to waste.
Xu Liuer bowed again and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
After saying that, she boarded the carriage.
The wheels rolled over the bluestone slabs and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Xu Liuer lifted the corner of the curtain and looked back, only to see Qin Jiuwei standing there.
As the carriage drove further and further away, until the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared in the night wind, Xu Liuer gently closed her eyes when she could no longer see that figure.
A strange, indescribable sour feeling welled up in my throat.
Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Qin Jiuwei pursed her pink lips slightly.
From a utilitarian perspective, Xu Liuer really couldn't help her much.
But since Xu Liuer is her friend, she will go to great lengths to save her.
She doesn't consider whether the other person is useful to her when making friends; she only looks at them with a liking.
Liu'er is soft-hearted, but she can distinguish right from wrong and is also capable of taking action.
Such quality already surpasses that of many others.
In Zhiyuan Courtyard.
Xie Zhongzhi paced back and forth in the room, his footsteps disordered.
The veins on his forehead throbbed, and his eyes revealed a hint of uncontrolled rage.
No, he has to go find them himself!
Xie Zhongzhi's eyes were bloodshot as he strode out of the house.
He had just stepped out when a familiar figure suddenly blocked his way.
Granny Zhang, carrying a dim lantern, bowed and said, "Second Young Master, the Old Madam wants you to go to the main courtyard."
Xie Zhongzhi was burning with anger and was about to speak up in refusal.
Granny Zhang spoke first, her gaze calm, "Second Young Master, this is a matter of great importance. The Marquis and the Old Madam have both instructed that you must go."
Main courtyard.
Where did Liu'er go?
Xie Zhongzhi stepped into the room with a gloomy expression, and was greeted by these words.
His expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.
"I don't know." Xie Zhongzhi gritted his teeth and forced out a few words.
"You don't know?" Lord Xie was furious upon hearing this. "You don't know where your own wife is?"
"Liu'er has such a good temper, she must have been driven away by you!"
Lord Xie was so angry that his eyebrows twitched, and he angrily accused him.
He simply couldn't believe it when he learned that Xu Liuer had disappeared!
The second young mistress of the prestigious Xie family has simply vanished!
If this gets out in broad daylight, the Marquis's mansion will lose all face!
"My lord, you can't say that." The lady of the house felt terrible seeing her son being scolded and quickly spoke up for him.
"Perhaps it's just that Xu Liu'er is fickle and ran off with someone else. How can you blame it on Chongzhi?"
"Shut up!" Old Madam Xie scolded Madam Hou, "Is such foul language something someone of your status should be using?"
Lady Hou shrank back in fright at the rebuke.
But a trace of resentment still lingered in his eyes.
“Mother-in-law, I’m only doing this because I feel wronged. How can you blame him for everything…”
Under Madam Xie's cold gaze, Madam Hou's voice grew softer and softer, until finally she simply lowered her head and stopped arguing.
"Then why did she run away?" Xie Wanning muttered softly, "It's an honor for a lowly commoner like her to come to our Marquis's mansion."
“Our Xie family treated her well, and she’s so ungrateful…”
"Enough!" Xie Zhongzhi's voice was cold and suppressed.
"I'll go find her myself and bring her back!"
After saying that, he turned and left without paying attention to the expressions on everyone's faces.
Qinglan Courtyard.
"My mother is very happy that things have gone so smoothly this time, thanks to your help."
Qin Jiuwei looked at the children in front of her, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
This time the plan was rushed and the timeframe was short. Without their help, we might not have been able to complete it.
"I never expected the rescue to go so smoothly," Xie Jingchun said with bright eyes.
“But Mother,” he turned to look at her earnestly, “how did you come up with this plan?”
And in such a short time!
Everything was arranged properly, front and back.
Even if you beat him to death, he still wouldn't be able to figure it out.
Xie Jing also looked up at Qin Jiuwei.
This plan was truly ingenious, with a proper sequence of actions and consideration for all aspects.
"Hmph, silly big brother." Xie Jue pouted, "Because Mother is the smartest person in the world! Mother is like a goddess, she can do everything!"
Qin Jiuwei was amused and reached out to pinch Xie Jue's little face.
"I'm not some kind of god. Actually, it's not difficult. There's a method to it."
Upon hearing this, the three boys immediately looked at her seriously.
Qin Jiu smiled gently and said in a calm tone, "To accomplish something, you must first identify all the obstacles."
“In this case, the biggest obstacle is naturally Xie Zhongzhi, but he’s not home during the day, so let’s eliminate him for now. Next, in order, are the chains, the guards in the courtyard, the maids and nannies, and finally the secret guards.”
She paused, then continued, "For each obstacle, you must think of a solution in advance. Then solve them one by one step by step."
"The real challenge lies in knowing in advance what obstacles there are, which requires research and investigation."
The children listened attentively.
Xie Jingchun clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "So that's how it is."
Xie Jing raised an eyebrow; he had learned something.
Xie Jue yawned.
"Alright, you've been a great help this time. If you want any reward, just tell me, and I'll grant it if I can."
Xie Jingchun and Xie Jing exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously.
My mother was really good to them.
They really don't want anything.
Seeing that neither of his two older brothers spoke, Xie Jue rolled his dark eyes.
She reached out her little hand and tugged at Qin Jiuwei's sleeve, saying softly in a slightly coquettish tone, "I want you, Mother, to kiss me!"
Xie Yanli pushed the door open and happened to hear this sentence.
