To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 437 Blind thinking

  The night was dark, Wei Han stood at the door of the tailor shop, and did not disturb the private conversation between the master and the servant.

  Luo Sheng listened to Kouer's report calmly.

   "A little beggar saw the little princess chasing a man into Maoyan'er alley..."

  Maoyaner Hutong is on another street adjacent to Qingxing Street, not far from here.

   "Can the little beggar tell you the general appearance of that man?"

  Kuer blinked, and said in a low voice: "Little beggar saw it at a distance, and he looked like that Mr. Su."

  Hearing this, Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Su Yao?"

  Keer nodded slightly: "Little beggar said that he went to see the excitement when Zhuangyuan paraded through the streets, and took a look at Zhuangyuan Lang on the horse from a distance."

  Luo Sheng fell into deep thought.

   Crescent Moon is cold, she sprinkles thin moonlight on that fair face, making her look more calm and calm.

After a while, Luo Sheng bent his lips and smiled, and told Kouer in a low voice: "Tomorrow Lin Teng will definitely go around Qingxing Street looking for someone who has seen the little Princess, and let that little beggar appear in front of Master Lin, and reveal this important clue. Let Lord Lin know..."

  Kore kept nodding.

  Seeing that the master and servant had finished speaking, Wei Han walked over and asked with a smile, "Miss Luo, do you want to take another look?"

   "No."

   "Then I'll take Miss Luo back to the bar."

  Luo Sheng pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, I'd better go back to the Governor's Mansion directly."

   Wei Han was startled slightly, and asked in surprise, "Miss Luo doesn't eat drunk crab anymore?"

  He asked Shi Yan about it, and there was still a small half of the two jars of drunk crabs tonight.

   "I'm not very hungry, there's only half a jar of drunk crabs left, my lord goes to the wine shop and asks Xiu Gu to pack some for you and bring them back to the palace."

   Wei Han's eyes lit up.

  He ate too many persimmons, thinking that he would not be able to enjoy the delicious taste of drunk crabs, but he didn't expect Miss Luo to bring him takeaway.

   The more Wei Han thought about it, the happier he became, and soon he thought of another problem: If he went to a wine shop to pack drunk crabs, it would be difficult to send Miss Luo. You can't say Miss Luo, don't go home, wait for me to pack a bag and send you off.

   That seems too insincere.

   One side is sending Miss Luo home, and the other side is Drunk Crab—

   Wei Han struggled for a moment, reluctantly gave up on Drunk Crab: "I'll take Miss Luo home."

  Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "My lord doesn't eat drunk crab anymore?"

   Wei Han was silent.

   Could it be that Miss Luo thinks that he cares more about drunk crabs than Miss Luo?

   "If you don't eat, you will have to wait until next year." Luo Sheng reminded with a smile.

  Wei Han stared fixedly at her, and said, "It's okay to eat again next year."

  Maybe at this time next year, we will be able to marry Miss Luo home. Are you eating drunk crabs at home?

  There is an eight-tone pavilion in the Wangfu. In autumn, sitting in the pavilion and listening to the wind blowing copper bells, admiring the yellow chrysanthemums in the garden, and tasting wine and eating drunk crabs with Miss Luo, it would be the most joyful.

  Thinking of this, Wei Han smiled deeper and deeper on his lips.

  Luo Sheng was inexplicable when he saw someone with a smirk on his face.

  Based on her understanding of King Kaiyang, she should be full of regrets if she can't eat drunk crabs. How can she say that she will be happy if she eats it next year?

   "My lord?"

   Wei Han came back to his senses, and said with a serious face: "Miss Luo, let's go."

  Although Luo Sheng was surprised by the rapid change of someone's expression, he didn't ask any more questions after all, and nodded slightly: "Okay."

  The two walked forward side by side, drawing two long shadows on the bluestone road.

  When the door of Wang Shaoqing's mansion was knocked open, Wang Shaoqing was full of astonishment: "The steward is here at this time, I wonder what's going on over there?"

  The steward of the palace cupped his hands: "Have you heard what happened on Qingxing Street?"

   "No." Wang Shaoqing forced out a word.

   There is a wine shop that is insanely expensive, is he someone who often goes to Qingxing Street?

   "It's like this, our princess went to a tailor shop on Qingxing Street, and then disappeared—"

   "Wait, what do you mean missing?"

  The steward of the palace looked a little embarrassed: "The princess is missing."

  The corners of Wang Shaoqing's mouth twitched violently, and he once again regretted marrying the Pingnan Palace.

  Why is there always such a mess in Pingnan Palace?

  Thinking that the people from the palace would come here at this time, Wang Shaoqing's expression turned serious, and he hurriedly said: "The Princess didn't come here."

"I didn't come here, but the shopkeeper of the tailor shop said that the two girls just came into the store after our princess left, so Mrs. Lin from the Ministry of Justice asked Zisu, the eldest maid of our princess, to come over and ask the two girls. Please do me a favor."

  Wang Shaoqing frowned secretly.

  In my impression, the eldest granddaughter and the second granddaughter are very well-behaved, and they actually got into this kind of trouble.

  But people from the palace have come to the door, and the two families are related by marriage, so it is naturally impossible to refuse.

  Wang Shaoqing ordered his servants: "Go and invite the two girls to the flower hall."

   Before waiting too long, Zisu met Miss Wang and Miss Wang in the flower hall.

  Zisu saluted, and said straight to the point: "The servant girl is here to ask the two girls a few questions at the order of Mr. Lin from the Ministry of Punishment."

   Miss Wang and Miss Wang looked at each other and said with a smile, "Please tell me."

   "Did the two girls meet our princess on Qingxing Street today?"

   "Yes." Miss Wang said calmly.

   "Where did you meet?"

   "There is a wine shop diagonally opposite the door of the tailor shop next to the powder shop."

  Zisu's eyes flickered slightly, and she continued to ask: "Did the two girls talk to our Princess?"

  Miss Wang smiled: "Of course I said hello."

   "Did those two girls see which direction our Princess is going?" Zi Su's tone was a little eager.

  She is the big maid who accompanied the princess to go out. Now that the princess is lost, if she can't be found, her life will be gone.

  Miss Wang was silent.

  The second girl Wang hesitated to speak, seeing that her sister was silent, and she didn't open her mouth either.

  Zisu became anxious: "Please don't hide it, girls, this is related to the safety of our princess!"

   "Did the princess not return to the palace?" Second Miss Wang was not as calm as Miss Wang, so she couldn't help asking.

  Zisu nodded with a pale face: "Yes, our Princess has not returned after going to Qingxing Street. If the two girls find anything, they must tell the servant girl, and the servant girl will tell Mrs. Lin when she is better."

  Miss Wang was silent for a while, then said softly: "When I greeted the princess, the princess seemed to have seen someone, and hurriedly chased after him."

   "Who?" Zisu couldn't wait to ask.

  Miss Wang hesitated for a moment.

   "Miss Wang, don't hesitate at this time."

   "I'm not sure... I just caught a glimpse of the back from a distance, and it looked like a man, but he soon turned a corner and disappeared." Miss Wang said this, a little embarrassed.

  If it wasn't for the safety of the little princess, she would have been prepared to rot in her stomach for the rest of her life if it affected her reputation so much.

  Zisu's expression was not good when she heard this, and seeing that she couldn't find out much, she hurriedly left Shaoqing's mansion.

  The night is getting darker, no matter how curious people are, they have to go back to their homes, and the bustling Qingxing Street is deserted.

  Lin Teng and others are still waiting in the tailor workshop.

  After listening to Zisu's reply, Lin Teng asked Wei Feng: "Your Majesty, who do you think the little Princess will rush to catch up with?"
