Chapter 313 Uncle and Aunt Come to the House
Soon, the Xiao couple arrived.
The two of them directly explained their purpose.
"Fujin, my husband and I are here to look for someone. We're looking for a girl named Xiao Yun, the orphan of the Xiao Zhihang case that made so much noise a while ago. We are her uncle and aunt, and we heard she's currently staying at your house. I wonder if we could meet her?"
When Xinrong heard that it was Xiaoyanzi's uncle and aunt who came, he couldn't help but sigh that fate was so cruel. Xiaoyanzi had just run away when her relatives came to find her. If it had been a few days earlier, maybe Xiaoyanzi could have followed her relatives directly.
Xinrong was embarrassed by this. "Madam, to be honest, Miss Xiao Yun had a quarrel with the Fifth Prince last night and ran away. Now we only heard that she left the city early this morning, and the Fifth Prince just led his men out to chase her."
Hearing that Xiaoyanzi was not there, Uncle Xiao was obviously a little anxious. "Out of town? Then do you know where she went?"
How could Xinrong know where Xiaoyanzi went? However, Cailian had guessed that she might have gone to Dali, but she didn't know the specific situation. Xinrong couldn't say anything and could only shake her head slightly.
Uncle Xiao felt somewhat desperate. How come Yun'er left just when they arrived?
"Let's go out of the city and find her." Uncle Xiao made the decision without any hesitation.
The two politely said their goodbyes. Xinrong suddenly remembered Cailian's unusual reaction and asked, "Please stay. Do you know a girl named Cailian?"
Picking lotus?
Upon hearing this, the Xiao couple exchanged glances, then turned to Xinrong, "In reply to Fu Jin, we do know a girl named Cai Lian, but she's probably not the same person Fu Jin is talking about."
Xinrong smiled slightly, "Yes, there are too many people named Cailian, so I won't bother you anymore. I hope you can find Miss Xiao Yun as soon as possible."
"Well, we're leaving now."
After the Xiao couple left, Xinrong called Suihong and said, "Tell me more about what Cailian told Xiaoyanzi when the Fifth Prince and I first got married. She knew where her relatives were."
Suihong didn't understand what was going on, so she just repeated what she had heard that day and Cailian's explanation afterwards.
Xinrong nodded. Something was not right. If what Cailian said was true, then she and the Xiao couple should have only met once. It was hard to say whether they even remembered her. Why should she be so nervous and scared?
Not right.
"Suihong, find a few people we trust in the mansion to keep an eye on Concubine Concubine. Report any strange behavior she might have."
Although Suihong didn't know what the situation was, since Fu Jin had spoken, it meant it was very serious. Suihong's face immediately became solemn, and she nodded very seriously and went to do it.
Xinrong sat alone in the room, gently stroking her belly, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
I didn't expect that Xiaoyanzi was such a decisive person. She ran away as soon as she said she would.
I just don't know whether she is completely disappointed and won't come back, or she is simply angry with the Fifth Prince?
And this lotus picking doesn't seem as simple as it seems.
In this regard, Xinrong had to sigh at his mother's foresight.
Now she just hopes that the medicine her mother gave her is really that effective.
The Fifth Prince's mansion was now in chaos again, and Xinrong didn't want to stay any longer. Plus, there were still some things she couldn't figure out, so she went home to find her mother.
Cai Lian was still a little uneasy when she returned to her own yard. She asked her maid to go out and inquire, and only found out that the couple really came to look for Xiaoyanzi, but because Xiaoyanzi was not at home, they hurriedly said goodbye and went to look for her.
Xinrong didn't seem to care and actually went back to her parents' home at this juncture.
Cai Lian breathed a sigh of relief at this.
Cailian was not unconcerned that Xinrong would doubt her, but she thought she was still quite calm. Besides, if Xinrong suspected anything, she would not remain silent.
I just hope Xinrong didn’t find out anything.
When she followed Xiao Jian, she had naturally seen their uncle many times. Uncle Xiao didn't know she was here now. If he recognized her and said something he shouldn't, she wouldn't be able to explain herself. It was better not to meet him.
Fortunately, they were still in a hurry to find Xiaoyanzi.
But Xiaoyanzi was really lucky. She didn't want to stay in the prince's mansion anymore, and her relatives from Dali came to find her.
It seems like she never has to worry about these livelihood issues, which is really enviable.
I don’t know whether Xiaoyanzi will follow her uncle back to Dali or continue to stay in the capital to accompany the Fifth Prince.
On the other side, the Fifth Prince had already left the city with his pig head on his head.
But the world out there is so complicated that finding a girl who ran away secretly and doesn't want to be found is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But Yongqi didn't intend to give up.
Xiaoyanzi is a weak girl who is unfamiliar with the place. Every second she stays outside will increase the danger. He must find her as soon as possible!
Yongqi gathered his few men and said, "Xiaoyanzi won't go north, and she can't run far. I will go south, and you split up and go north and west."
Several people split into three groups and set out on a journey to find Xiaoyanzi.
On the other side, several people from the Xiao family also gathered together.
Everyone was a little discouraged when they learned about this unfortunate incident.
Aunt Xiao suggested, "Why don't we just wait in the capital for that Fifth Prince to bring Yun'er back? They will definitely come back anyway."
Uncle Xiao disagreed, "Who knows what that Fifth Prince is like? Yun'er was driven away by him. How can we place our hopes on a stranger?"
"But, we don't know what Xiao Yun looks like."
This hits the nail on the head. None of them has ever seen Xiao Yun.
"Well, let's go to the prince's mansion again and ask the wife to draw a portrait of Yun'er for us. Then we can go out and look for her. This way our chances of finding her will be better. If we still can't find her after a few days, we can go back to the capital and try our luck."
Unfortunately, when they returned to the Fifth Prince's residence, they learned that the wife had returned to her parents' home.
Cai Lian, the only half-master of the mansion, heard that they were back and had no time to hide, let alone see them.
The Xiao couple looked at each other at the door, not understanding why the lady suddenly didn't want to see them.
"Young man, we just want to ask for a portrait of Xiao Yun so that we can find him. We have no other intentions."
The gatekeeper also felt a little apologetic, "Our wife really just left, and the Fifth Prince is not here either."
"Can you draw one for me?"
The two servants looked at each other in bewilderment. No matter whether Xiao Gege was a county lady or a princess in the mansion, she was the master. Servants like them dared not look at her. How could they possibly draw her portrait?
"We really can't help you with this."
Uncle Xiao was a little disappointed, and could only smile and clasp his fists, "Sorry to bother you."
Since they couldn't see them, they had no choice but to find out more about Xiaoyanzi. They thought there should be someone in Beijing who could help them draw this portrait.
