Chapter 221 What are you going to do in the future?
She kept the store open for business these days, just to keep some money on her.
If she and Qian Feng had quarreled in the past, Qian Feng would definitely chase her out and ask for her forgiveness as soon as possible, and would buy her all kinds of things to please her.
But this time, Qian Feng just came to see her and asked her if she wanted to go back. She was angry and naturally ignored Qian Feng. As a result, Qian Feng didn't say much to her and just left.
This made Zhao Xiuwan even more angry.
If this marriage had not been granted by His Majesty, she would have divorced Qian Feng by now.
"Captain Nangong?" Zhao Xiuwan was also surprised. She knew that Nangong Rui had been arrested and wanted to go see him, but Qian Feng said that the general would not let Nangong Rui see anyone, so she had to give up.
She remembered very clearly that Qian Feng had told her that Nangong Rui would not be able to come out for a while. The general wanted him to calm down, so he would not let him out for the time being. Even though it had been found out that he was not in collusion with the rebels, the general still wanted to expose him first.
So when Zhao Xiuwan suddenly saw Nangong Rui here, it was like seeing a ghost.
"I'm not a lieutenant anymore." Nangong Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Zhao Xiuwan still calling him a lieutenant. "The general dismissed me. I'm not even a member of the Black Tiger Army anymore. I'm just a commoner now. Sister-in-law, please don't call me that. Just call me A Rui."
"Ah?" Zhao Xiuwan was a little surprised.
Because she and Qian Feng had secretly asked about Nangong Rui before, Qian Feng said that the general loved Nangong Rui very much. After all, Nangong Rui was very loyal to the general.
Since Wei Ling values Nangong Rui so much, and now it has been found out that Nangong Rui really did not collude with the rebels, Zhao Xiuwan really did not expect Wei Ling to kick Nangong Rui out of the army.
This Wei Ling is indeed a cold-hearted person.
If Su Jixiang marries him, she might be abandoned by him at any time just like he abandoned Nangong Rui!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiuwan couldn't help but feel that Su Jixiang deserved it...
"Sister-in-law, don't be surprised." Nangong Rui lowered his head, "After all, I did something wrong."
"Hey, don't mention it. Since we're here, there's no reason for me to let you eat noodles." Zhao Xiuwan waved her hand. She had no idea about the lawsuits in the army, and she was too lazy to do it! "Come on, come on, follow me to the private room upstairs. I'll treat you today!"
"No need. I still have to look for my father!" Nangong Rui waved his hand and said, "I don't know where he went. My mother said that if I can't find him, I can't go back."
"Ah?" Zhao Xiuwan was shocked again.
Nangong Rui is already so old, how could his mother say that?
"Then do you know where your father went? Mangcheng is so big, we can't just look for him aimlessly." Zhao Xiuwan asked.
"Most likely he went to the gambling house." Nangong Rui smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed my sister-in-law."
Zhao Xiuwan was stunned for a moment. "Tell me what your father's characteristics are. I will send someone to help you find him. It will take you a long time to find him by yourself. Besides, you are wearing so thin clothes. It is freezing outside. Do you think you will freeze to death? Since you call me sister-in-law today, you should listen to me."
Nangong Rui looked up at Zhao Xiuwan in confusion.
The woman in front of him was bright and charming. Although there was a hint of haggardness between her eyes and eyebrows, it still couldn't conceal her beautiful appearance.
"What should I do?" Nangong Rui was deeply moved. Since he was released, only Zhao Xiuwan had shown concern for him. His mother and other family members didn't even say a single warm word to him when they saw him.
Nangong Rui suddenly felt his eyes a little sore.
He has hardly cried since he was sold to the army.
Because he knew that tears could not solve any problems.
And now, he felt the long-lost tears welling up.
He took several deep breaths to suppress the bitterness in his eyes.
"Listen to me. Otherwise I'll be against you!" Zhao Xiuwan said with a glare.
Nangong Rui then nodded.
Zhao Xiuwan called the waiter and asked Nangong Rui to tell him his father's appearance and name, and the waiter wrote them down one by one.
The guy wrote it down and went to the back door.
Soon, the waiter came back and whispered something to Zhao Xiuwan.
Zhao Xiuwan followed the waiter and got up and went to the back.
"Boss, I've already told those little beggars at the back door. If anyone can find the person, he will give ten meat buns and a roast chicken. If no one can find him, he will still give one bun." The waiter lowered his voice and said to Zhao Xiuwan.
Zhao Xiuwan nodded and smiled slightly.
After taking over the hotel, she realized that snakes have their own ways and rats have their own ways.
People from all walks of life come to this kind of folk restaurant every day, so the connections are very wide.
"Well done! If you find the person, I'll give you a reward of one or two taels of silver." Zhao Xiuwan said to the clerk.
"Yes. Thank you, boss!" The waiter was very happy when he heard it.
This guy is very smart, so Zhao Xiuwan kept him in the store.
Zhao Xiuwan then returned to the private room. Just when the waiter went to find the little beggar, Zhao Xiuwan had already asked Nangong Rui to go into the private room.
Zhao Xiuwan also asked the kitchen to prepare some exquisite dishes and warm two pots of wine.
When Zhao Xiuwan came back, Nangong Rui was sitting there in a daze.
Hearing the noise, he quickly stood up.
"Why are you so nervous? I'm not a cannibal." Zhao Xiuwan couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, I've sent someone to look for your father. Once he's found, there will be news."
"Yes. Thank you, sister-in-law." Nangong Rui bowed quickly.
"When did you come out?" The waiter brought tea. Zhao Xiuwan poured a cup for Nangong Rui and asked with a smile.
"Just today." Nangong Rui said with a low sigh.
"Your family must be so happy that you can come back." Zhao Xiuwan asked again with a smile.
This time, it really hit Nangong Rui where it hurts.
Nangong Rui's expression suddenly froze, and then he lowered his head again.
"Your expression..." Zhao Xiuwan was a little surprised, "Could it be that your family members are not very welcoming to your return?"
Although Zhao Xiuwan was a little surprised, she was already somewhat certain in her heart.
After all, which old man would be in the mood to go out and gamble when his son is in jail?
The people in the Nangong family are really weird!
"Maybe he blames me." Nangong Rui said in a low voice.
Zhao Xiuwan immediately understood what Nangong Rui meant.
"Forget it, let's not think about that." Zhao Xiuwan was stunned for a moment, then changed the subject, "Now that you have left the Black Tiger Army, have you ever thought about what to do next?"
