The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 203

Xu Lingbai suppressed his anger, regret and pain, and tried to stay calm, but he still fell off his horse twice due to trance. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but fell into the mud and looked very embarrassed.

Linxi knew that he was anxious and tried his best to comfort him.

"My cousin fought hard several times before she was able to deliver the letter to my young mistress. In my young mistress's words, she is strong-willed and must be waiting for her relatives to rescue her. My cousin, please don't lose heart."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Linxi. I was foolish and cowardly."

It drizzled during the period, but Xu Lingbai did not lose focus and kept moving quickly along the river. By noon, he could see the city wall in the distance.

Even though the rain was getting heavier, the two of them continued to run in the rain. When they were almost at the city wall, they saw Aru and a smaller attendant leaning against the carriage, holding an oil-paper umbrella and waiting. It was not until they saw Linxi and the other person from a distance that Aru waved, "Linxi, Linxi, here!"

Linxi's horse arrived and stopped immediately.

"Alu, why are you here?"

"Did you catch it, cousin?" Looking back, the man on the horse had a handsome face, but was covered in mud and looked very embarrassed.

"Yes, this is not my cousin."

Linxi dismounted and held Xu Lingbai's horse, letting Xu Lingbai dismount. "Brother, I am not Xu Lingbai." Alu and Chun Ge heard it and hurried forward. "Hey, cousin is wet all over. If the wind blows, he will definitely catch a cold."

Aru looked around and found a restaurant in a village outside the city, and he led Xu Lingbai there.

"Cousin, take a hot bath and change your clothes."

Xu Lingbai was extremely anxious, but he also knew that it was not appropriate for him to go to the mansion in this state.

On the way to the restaurant, A'lu also comforted Xu Lingbai a few words, pointing at Chun Ge and said, "He is the Chun Ge who serves Erlang. This morning, the young lady told the two of us to follow you and Linxi to Wanxing Wharf to ask."

Linxi couldn't help but slap his thigh on the horse, "Yes! There are people coming and going at Wanxing Wharf. If you leave Beijing by water, you can be sure that someone will see you."

Chun Ge shook his head and said, "My father is in charge of the Wanxing Wharf. The young lady told me to ask around there and in the shops nearby. I don't believe he can kidnap someone and run away with him!" He is not very old, but he has seen a lot with Qin Qingdong and is very smart.

Seeing this, Xu Lingbai had no choice but to thank them one by one.

Chun Ge smiled shyly and said, "My cousin, don't be polite. The second young master is still in the capital with his two powerful brothers to track her down. I think he will be able to find my cousin soon."

"Thank you all, Ling Bai is grateful!"

Aru was very efficient. He asked for a guest room and ordered a few buckets of hot water, and helped Xu Lingbai wash up. Chun Ge also brought the clothes that had been prepared long ago. After Xu Lingbai put them on, several people rode horses or took cars to Wanxing Wharf.

Qin Qingdong, on the other hand, did not sleep all night.

Ji Ruijifeng came knocking on the door early in the morning and was shocked to see the second young master's bloodshot eyes.

"Second Young Master, what are you doing——"

Qin Qingdong was as weak as a frost-bitten eggplant. He casually sat on the chair and pointed at the two of them to sit down, "Close the door and talk." Ji Feng went out and closed the door, and then asked in surprise, "Why isn't Chun Ge here to serve you?"

"I asked him to go to the mansion."

Seeing the Second Young Master's languid appearance, the two brothers Ji Rui could not help but become worried, "Second Young Master, have you also caught a cold?"

Ji Feng immediately stood up and said, "I'll go get Doctor Lin to come and take a look."

"sit down!"

Qin Qingdong looked exhausted. "Didn't you tell Big Brother about what happened yesterday?"

"No, Second Young Master, rest assured. Since the eldest young master has sent my brother and me to work for you, he will not ask too many questions." Ji Feng was sharp-eyed. Seeing the half fragment on Qin Qingdong's desk, he could not help but ask, "Second Young Master, is this thing important?"

Qin Qingdong leaned back heavily on his chair. "I'm still not sure now, but I'm also afraid that once I'm sure, the truth will be unacceptable."

This……

Ji Rui glanced at the fragment of the green jade base and said carefully, "When I found it in Room 10 of Qingmei Garden, I felt that this jade piece was of good quality and clear and bright. Although it is broken, I think it is not something that ordinary people can use."

The key is--

The fragments were stuffed into the cracks between the wall and the floor.

It was obviously done on purpose. Ji Rui had a set of skills. After entering the room, he would touch along the ceiling and wall lines first, and he would never miss a spot.

Qin Qingdong looked at Ji Rui and said, "Since my eldest brother is not busy now, you two brothers can help me follow someone."

Ji Rui's eyes dimmed, "I'll come just as the Second Young Master tells me to."

"Yu Cheng, who is in front of Miss Jin in the Princess's Mansion."

Ji Feng stood up at once, "Second Master..., aren't you and the eldest lady...close friends?"

Qin Qingdong raised his hand to signal him to sit down. "That's why I want you to go and find out when Yu Cheng came to Beijing, what he did, and who he interacted with. You don't have to go into details. If you see anything unusual, come back and report to me."

This was a decision he made after a sleepless night of careful consideration.

Ji Fengjirui is experienced and should be able to discover something after disguising himself.

When he caught a glimpse of the jade fragments, his heart ached.

——Fuyun, oh Fuyun, I just hope that everything is a beautiful misunderstanding. Otherwise, the friendship between you and me is probably just like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, which is extremely empty.

Ji Rui and Ji Feng took the order and left. Qin Qingdong took a rest reluctantly, thinking that he would take a short nap before getting up to look for it again. However, he did not expect that Ji Feng would come running back panting and directly push the door open, shocking Qin Qingdong so much that he almost fell off the bed.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Ji Feng panted, "Oh no, the fourth young master's wife of the Pei family went straight to the Princess's Mansion."

"What is Guanzhou going to do?"

Qin Qingdong was horrified. Ji Feng swallowed his saliva and said hurriedly, "I don't know. I just approached the corner gate of the Princess's Mansion and saw the young lady getting off the sedan chair. She was dressed simply and was wearing a veil. But there was Brother Linshan next to her. How could I be wrong?"

After all, he is a fellow disciple taught by a martial arts master.

Qin Qingdong no longer cared about anything else. He called Ji Feng to get his clothes and hurriedly put them on. "I'm afraid Guan Zhou is going to get into trouble! Hurry up, let's ride over and stop her."

We haven't verified anything here yet, so why did Song Guanzhou rush over to my house?

Ji Feng asked the stable to harness the horses and lead them to the corner gate. Qin Qingdong walked with a gloomy face and lowered his head. Ji Feng could hardly keep up with him. Suddenly, he almost bumped into a few people. The one in the lead was his half-sister. "Second brother, you don't even pay respects to the lady on this rainy day. Are you going out to hang out again?"

Qin Qingdong snorted, "Little girl, you are meddling in my affairs. Get out of here!"

But he heard a woman's faint smile from behind, "Erlang, you are so majestic!"

Qin Qingdong raised his head with a stiff expression, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Si, what are you doing here!?"
