Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 96 The Missing Girl
Then he said, "You are the one chosen by the Queen Mother, so you can have something to say when you go to ask for permission."
Jing Zhichen spoke concisely, so concisely that one could not detect a trace of emotion.
But Xu Xingyin thought that Jing Zhichen must miss Queen Mingzhen very much.
It must have been very hard for him to live alone in that cold palace for so many years.
That's why Jing Zhichen is always so strong, so strong that Xu Xingyin almost forgot that the Crown Prince in front of him is just an older boy.
He lost his mother when he was young, and because of his status, he was guarded against and harmed by his stepmothers. It was difficult for him to have a peaceful day in his life.
Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but soften his heart a little. He didn't think about it any further and nodded.
"This is a serious matter. I hope Your Highness will give me some time to think it over."
"nature."
Xu Xingyin nodded and stood up to say goodbye, but was stopped by Jing Zhichen.
"The matter of your Ninth Miss's escape concerns the reputation of the Duke's daughter, and it cannot be delayed. As a sign of my sincerity in cooperation, I will accompany Miss Xu Qi to Jufeng Slope for a visit today."
Jing Zhichen didn't give Xu Xingyin a chance to refuse and carried him into the carriage.
Jufengpo was indeed not far from the capital, and Jing Zhichen's carriage ran fast, so the group reached their destination in just an hour or so.
"No! I beg you, please. Arya is your biological daughter, how can you sell her to someone else as a concubine?"
As soon as the two got off the carriage, they saw a woman pulling a little girl and begging for mercy from the man in front.
The man was unmoved and pushed the woman away, grabbing the girl and walking away.
"There has been no harvest for several years. Will such a large family be left to eat? Mr. Liu has taken a fancy to Erya. This is her blessing. I have raised her for so many years. Now it is time for her to repay the family."
The woman was blocked and speechless. Her hands went numb and the girl was dragged away by the man. Erya raised her head and looked at the man.
"Dad, are you really going to sell me out for five taels of silver?"
The man was stunned by his daughter's question and said embarrassedly.
"Dad is thinking about you. Mr. Liu's family is wealthy. If you marry him, you won't have to suffer with us anymore."
"Oh, so in Daddy's eyes I am only worth five taels of silver."
Erya chuckled, pushed the man aside and walked ahead, "Let's go, I'll accompany Dad to get the silver so we can buy food for my brothers. But you must remember, after today, you and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore."
As the father and daughter walked past the carriage, they saw a man in a brocade robe chuckle and speak slowly.
"Wait a minute."
People like Jing Zhichen were born with an aura that could not be ignored, so even though these words came out of nowhere, the two of them stopped talking as they were told.
"You..." The man changed his words under Jing Zhichen's cold gaze, "Is this young master calling us?"
"That's right." Jing Zhichen replied, "I'll pay ten taels of silver to buy this girl's freedom."
When the man heard the ten taels of silver, his eyes widened. It was Erya who was surprised for a moment and asked.
"Master, what do you mean?"
"I just saw injustice. Miss, don't mind it. I don't need you to do anything for me."
While they were talking, the guards behind Jing Zhichen had already tactfully handed him some silver.
After saying that, Jing Zhichen was about to leave with his group of people. The man saw that he had taken the money and his daughter was saved, and thought that he might be able to send his daughter to Mr. Liu's mansion in a few days to make more money.
Erya was obviously well aware of her father's greed, and she immediately took two steps forward and knelt in front of Jing Zhichen.
"Since you have paid for my daughter, I am yours."
"Oh?" Jing Zhichen took a step back and looked at Erya, "I have no shortage of people around me."
"You are a noble man, and I am a humble girl, so I naturally don't have the blessing of serving you. Washing clothes, cooking, fetching water, chopping firewood, as long as I can repay you a little, I am willing to do anything."
Jing Zhichen didn't seem surprised by Erya's behavior. He nodded slightly and winked at Xiao Anzi behind him. Xiao Anzi understood and stepped forward.
"The young master has agreed. Just follow me. I will arrange things for you when we return to the mansion."
"Yes." Arya paused, thought for a moment, and then added, "Boss."
Xiao Anzi was so frightened that he almost fell down.
Jing Zhichen pretended not to see it and turned to ask Erya.
"Have a man and a woman stayed here recently?"
The people of Jufengpo are simple and honest, and there are few outsiders, so the villagers know whether outsiders have visited or not, and Erya is naturally aware of it as well.
"Yes, they live in Grandma He's home in the village. They are willing to spend money and gave Grandma He half a year's rent and living expenses."
"Take us to see it."
Erya agreed obediently and walked forward to lead everyone to the village.
Jing Zhichen took two steps before he realized that Xu Xingyin next to him hadn't said a word. He turned his head curiously and saw the little girl glance at him with a teasing tone in her mouth.
"Your Highness is truly a man who cherishes women."
Jing Zhichen didn't know what was wrong with himself, as he had originally just laughed it off, and he actually explained it to Xu Xingyin seriously.
"This girl can still behave like this in this situation. She may be of great use in the future. The master leads the way and the practice depends on the individual. I gave her a chance. How she performs in the future depends on her performance. Even if I was wrong, I still made a profit by buying a loyal servant with ten taels of silver."
Xu Xingyin pursed his lips and said nothing.
When Xu Xingyin arrived at Grandma He's house as Erya mentioned, he saw Bai Shaotong's familiar face as expected.
When he saw Xu Xingyin, Bai Shaotong was startled at first, then he walked forward with tears in his eyes and grabbed Xu Xingyin's hand.
"Xi'er is gone. I am sorry for her."
Xu Xingyin was so shocked by this sudden change that he didn't even notice Bai Shaotong's transgression. He immediately asked back:
"What do you mean it's gone?"
Jing Zhichen, on the other hand, looked at Bai Shaotong's hand that was holding Xu Xingyin, paused for a moment, and then looked away indifferently.
If Qiong Guang had not served Jing Zhichen for many years, it would have been difficult for him to notice that Jing Zhichen's expression was a little more impatient than before.
Idiot, Jing Zhichen cursed in his heart.
It was obvious that Bai Shaotong could not get close to Xu Wanrui, so he just changed his target, but someone really fell into his trap.
Jing Zhichen couldn't save his face, but Qiong Guang was concerned about his master's unhappiness and scolded him.
"How dare you do that to Miss Xu, who is she?"
Bai Shaotong remained unmoved, but Xu Xingyin reacted after being reminded and quickly withdrew his hand.
This man was also very shameless. Without any embarrassment, he turned sideways, took out a bright red invitation from the drawer, and handed it to Xu Xingyin.
When I opened it, it turned out to be a marriage certificate. The woman was Xu Wanru, and the man was...
Runhe God? !
"What does this mean?"
