The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 219: Tan Jia's expression changes color, while Old Madam Jiang avoids the question!
Qinghe's eyes widened as he said, "Chengzu's disappearance must be related to them! Since they are worried about affecting their business, I will wait here and go in to look for him after closing time at night!"
Shopkeeper Yu said, "Madam, we only do business and don't kidnap people! We will never kidnap your young master. You should go back first."
Qing He said angrily, "Since you insist that it has nothing to do with you, then why don't you let me in to take a look! So what if it's the restaurant opened by the imperial concubine? Can it be an exception?"
Shopkeeper Yu sneered twice. Although he did not answer, he obviously acknowledged that he had the privilege.
Qing He said stubbornly: "I won't go back unless I find Cheng Zu today!"
For a moment, everyone present looked at Qing He...
Prefect Zheng Zegang hoped that the young lady could return home early so that he could also return home early and have a drink with Lord Luo's brother-in-law.
Shopkeeper Yu also hoped that this beautiful and stubborn young lady could leave as soon as possible, because there was really someone hiding in their restaurant who must not be seen by her!
Yao Furong hoped that her elder sister could hold on and go into the restaurant with her to search again!
In full view of the crowd, Jiang Yaonian pulled Qinghe aside and whispered to her, "Qinghe, I know you're worried about Chengzu's disappearance, but it's been several days now. Even if he really disappeared here, you won't find anything if you go in now, and you'll be used against him...why don't you go back and wait for my news?"
Seeing that she still had a stubborn expression on her face, Jiang Yaonian had to comfort her gently, "Be good, I'll go find Meng Jifei to ask, it's better than you going in and looking around without any confidence..."
Qing He looked at him sadly for a while, then nodded gently and said with tears in her eyes: "Then come back soon!"
Jiang Yaonian patted her shoulder and said, "Well, don't worry!"
Qinghe and Yao Furong got on the carriage together and left.
Jiang Yaonian looked at Shopkeeper Yu and asked, "Who on earth did you hide in there?"
"My lord, there is no shameful secret. The reason why we didn't let the young lady in was because we disturbed the distinguished guests. Lord Cao of the Zhenguo Mansion and a beautiful lady were having dinner in the elegant pavilion. They specially booked the entire second floor and didn't let outsiders in. We have no choice, please forgive us!"
Jiang Yaonian glanced at the door and saw Cao Junwei's luxurious carriage parked there. He said nothing, nodded, and left.
Zheng Zegang followed behind and wanted to curry favor with Jiang Yaonian, but the guards of Jiang's mansion did not give him the opportunity and drove the carriage directly to the west of the city.
Jiang Mansion.
After Qing He returned home, she did not go back to the villa directly, but came to the upper room to pay her respects to Old Madam Jiang, and said softly and crisply: "Grandma, I'm back!"
Madam Jiang raised her head upon hearing the voice and said with a smile, "You finally decided to come back! I was so bored these days when you were not at home. I didn't even have anyone to talk to!"
Qing He came to the old lady and sat down gently, saying, "Grandma, that place is very nice and quiet, with lush vegetation and clear springs. Young Master Jiang and I are so happy that we almost don't want to come back... How about you go there and stay with us for a few days next year?"
Madam Jiang shook her head and said, "Hey, I won't join you young people in making fun! The reason why Nian'er likes to live there is because you are with him! If I go, won't I disturb you young couple!"
Qing He thought back to the time they had spent alone together on the mountain, and two blushes rose on her face as she lowered her head shyly.
Seeing this, Madam Jiang struck while the iron was hot and said, "Give you two a little more freedom, so I can have my great-grandson and granddaughter sooner!"
Qing He felt even more embarrassed after hearing this, and she lowered her head shyly and said nothing...
The maid brought tea, and Madam Jiang said kindly, "Qinghe, try this snow peach, it's freshly picked from the garden."
Qing He was slightly surprised and asked, "The weather is so cold, and there are still peaches?"
Madam Jiang smiled and said, "This variety matures in autumn and is delicious. Try it!"
Qinghe took a bite and found it to be sweet, crispy, very refreshing, and with a unique, sharp aroma.
Madam Jiang looked at her and smiled kindly, "Is it delicious?"
Qing He nodded, "Yeah, it's delicious."
Then she asked quietly, "Grandma, do you know that there is a Concubine Jia in the palace?"
Mrs. Jiang was smiling, but after hearing these words, the smile on her face disappeared immediately...
After a long while, the old lady said calmly, "I'm fine, why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
This abnormal attitude of her grandmother made Qinghe even more confused!
She looked at Madam Jiang cautiously and asked, "Does Mr. Jiang know her?"
After hearing this, the old lady's expression became even weirder, neither angry nor happy, making it hard to understand...
After a long while, she coughed and said, "Child, you have lived in the mountains for such a long time, you must be craving for home food, right? I will ask the kitchen to make fried fish slices with shredded ginger, grilled lamb chops, and stewed abalone with bamboo fungus for you tonight, okay?"
Qing He knew there must be a reason for this, so she put on a smile and said crisply, "Okay! Grandma still remembers that I like to eat these dishes..."
Madam Jiang regained her kind smile, patted her hand and said, "You need to eat more! Although the mountain is quiet, it is not as convenient as home. You can ask the kitchen to cook whatever you want at any time."
"Yes." Qing He stood up and said, "Grandma, I will go back to my room to rest for a while, and then come over to eat with you at dinner time!"
Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, go ahead!"
Qinghe left the upper room and returned to the villa.
The maid Xia'er came up and asked, "Young Madam has been outside for so long, she must be tired when she comes back, would you like me to massage your shoulders?"
After a moment of silence, Qing He asked, "Xia Er, how long have you been in this mansion?"
"Madam, it has been more than ten years. I have been here since I was eight or nine years old."
Qing He asked again: "Then do you know Lady Jiafei?"
Xia Er looked at her and shook her head, saying, "I have never heard of this. Why did the young lady suddenly ask about this today?"
Qing He remained silent for a while, then said, "Nothing... just asking casually! You go out first, I want to lie down for a while."
"Yes." After Xia'er helped her to sleep, she closed the door and went out.
Qinghe lay on the bed and thought about random things for a while, then fell asleep unknowingly.
……
Qinghe didn't wake up until the hour of Hai. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was already completely dark.
She got up and went to the outer room, where she found that Jiang Yaonian had already returned and was sitting there reading a letter.
The table was filled with food, all placed on plates.
When Jiang Yaonian saw her coming out, he greeted her with a smile: "Are you awake? Come over and have dinner!"
Qinghe rubbed his eyes a little embarrassedly, walked to the table and sat down, then frowned slightly and asked: "How is it, is there any news about Chengzu?"
