The reborn male concubine goes into business

This was the first time Xiao Xi made a request to Chu Haotian, and he was really shocked.Unlike Xiao Xi's nervousness, Chu Antian readily agreed without thinking too much.Moreover, he really didn't want to arrange for women to enter the mansion again.

"It's not difficult." To Chu Haotian, this was just a small matter.

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak.It was a request that came out of his mouth without even crossing his mind.But Chu Haotian agreed to him easily.

"Nothing else?"

Xiao Xi looked at him with black eyes and shook his head.

The corner of Chu Haotian's mouth ticked, and he finally pushed him down on the bed.

At noon the next day, Chu Antian accompanied Xiao Xi home as agreed.When it was time to leave, Qianqian came out with red eyes and hugged Chu Haotian willfully to prevent him from leaving.Chu Antianjing also spent a lot of time coaxing her back.

Little Taozi felt very shameless, Xiao Xi's expression was indifferent, and he didn't say anything.

Prince Hao's Mansion is not far from Prime Minister Xiao's house, and it only takes about an hour to arrive.When arriving at the destination, Prime Minister Xiao was already waiting at the door to greet him.

"Father." Xiao Xi got out of the carriage, and shouted respectfully in front of him.

"Prime Minister Xiao, please stay safe. I heard that you have been unwell for the past few days and did not go to the morning court. How are you doing now?" Chu Haotian was concerned as a son-in-law.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. The old minister is almost on the mend. King An, Princess Hao, please come inside first."

Xiao Xi walked in first, and King Chu An followed behind.

"Mother." Seeing his mother and the maids in the mansion setting the chopsticks, Xiao Xi raised his voice slightly.

Mrs. Xiao turned around and smiled happily when she saw Xiao Xi.

"Are you back? Where's the lord? Did you come back with you?" Mrs. Xiao had just finished asking when Chu Haotian and Prime Minister Xiao came in.

"My lord." Mrs. Xiao saluted respectfully.

"Madam Xiao doesn't need to be polite." Chu Haotian helped Madam Xiao up.

Several people exchanged greetings for a while before going to the table to eat.

After dinner, Chu Haotian chatted with the Prime Minister and went to the study, Xiao Xi accompanied Madam Xiao.

"Xi'er, why did the lord come back home with you suddenly?" Madam Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Perhaps I haven't been here before, I want to come and visit." Xiao Xi didn't know what Chu Antian was thinking, so he could only say so.

Mrs. Xiao nodded, "You are in Prince Hao's Mansion, but everything is alright?"

"Mother, don't worry, no one dares to wrong the child." Except for Chu Haotian, Xiao Xi will not be bullied by others.

Mrs. Xiao nodded reassuringly, "Xi'er, accompany your mother to go shopping in the market this afternoon, and mother will pick out two nice clothes for you."

"Mother, there's no need, the baby doesn't need it, I'm eating, dressing and dressing in Prince Hao's Mansion!"

"That's not okay, this is for your mother. I bought two sets for Tao Zi. By the way, where is Xiao Tao?" Mrs. Xiao asked suspiciously when she didn't see Tao Zi.

"He, he went to accompany Luo Yue." Xiao Xi said softly.

"Luoyue, where is Prince Hao's?" Mrs. Xiao looked suspicious.

"En." Xiao Xi nodded.

Tao Zi on the other side was indeed pestering Luo Yue.

"Luoyue, you really don't want to go shopping, we have a lot of interesting places here!" Luoyue resolutely leaned against the door, with a cold expression, holding the sword in both arms and ignoring Xiaotao.

"Then you practice swords with me? I see you have played a new set of swordsmanship. Don't be so stingy, teach me."

Luo Yue still turned a deaf ear.

"Then I'll accompany you to the shop where I make swords. Didn't you say that my swords are good last time?"

Luoyue finally got quiet this time, and turned to look at Xiao Taozi.

"Where?"

"If you want to know, just follow me!"

Luo Yue hesitated for a moment before following Xiao Taozi's pace.Little Taozi finally couldn't help being happy, he finally let Luoyue, the big iceberg, step out of the house.

As soon as Chu Haotian came out of the study, he went to look for Xiao Xi, but was told that he and Mrs. Xiao had gone out of the house.There was a trace of displeasure in Chu Haotian's heart, the maid looked at Chu Haotian's expression and felt timid, and didn't know what to do, so she led Chu Haotian to Xiao Xi's room.

Hearing that this was Xiao Xi's room, Chu Haotian finally felt a little better, waved the maid back, and Chu Haotian pushed the door into Xiao Xi's room.

It seems that servants often come to clean, Xiao Xi's room is clean and tidy, everything is placed where it should be.

Chu Haotian slowly took a closer look at the things in Xiao Xi's room, and occasionally picked up one or two small items to play with in his hands.

When I came to the desk, there were two landscape paintings and a portrait of a figure on the desk. On the portrait was a young woman, looking at me with turbulent eyes.

Chu Haotian's heart tightened, and suddenly he felt a surge of anger in his heart. Who is the woman in this portrait?Chu Haotian stared fixedly at the portrait. If he could draw it so vividly, it wouldn't be the woman Xiao Xi likes, right?Thinking of this, the anger in Chu Haotian's heart became even worse.

Xiao Xi, who had no idea that someone in the family was getting angry for no reason, was accompanying Mrs. Xiao at the moment.The two were going out to buy clothes, but they never expected to meet Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Xiao's good friend, and they chatted immediately.Mrs. Wu invited the two of them to a gathering in the mansion, it was difficult to shirk, the two had no choice but to go to Wu's mansion to bother.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi." Xiao Xi was drinking tea in the lobby of Wu Mansion when he heard an excited voice calling to him from outside.

When someone came to see, it was Wu Jun, Mrs. Wu's son, and Xiao Xi and him could be regarded as good friends.

"Xiao Xi, I heard that you came to the house, and you rushed back immediately without stopping. Good guy, it's been a long time?" Wu Yun nudged Xiao Xi, with dissatisfaction in his smiling tone.

After Xiao Xi apologized to him, Wu Jun finally stopped pursuing it.

"I'm serving under Prime Minister Xiao now as a civil servant."

"That's not bad, it suits you very well." Xiao Xi smiled lightly.

Wu Jun sighed, "It's okay. Hey, how about you? Are you okay over there?"

"Well, everything is fine Xiao Xi said lightly.

Wu Yao glanced at him, and didn't know what to say, she scratched her head, "Hey, forget it, don't think too much, let's go drink! I haven't gone to drink for a long time. Xiao Xi shook his head when he heard the words, "No, this time King Hao came with me. "

Wu Yun was surprised, "Prince Hao is also here?"

"Um……"

If it's like this, it's really not good to drink, Xiao Xi has to go back.

"Then we can only talk about tea." Wu Yun said boringly.

Xiao Xi was amused by his appearance. Wu Yun is a straightforward and kind-hearted person, Xiao Xi likes his temperament very much, but in the eyes of others, such a temperament is really not good at being a human being.Xiao Xi was a little worried, so he could only ask his father to take care of him more.

Xiao Xi spent the whole afternoon drinking tea and chatting with Wu Zhu, Wu Yun also came back from the Yamen immediately after hearing Xiao Xi's return, just to see Xiao Xi, how could Xiao Xi not accept his favor.

In the evening, Xiao Xi finally remembered to leave.But Wu Jun pulled him and refused to let him go, and asked Tuntun what he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.

Xiao Xi got up and looked at him quietly. Wu Jun swallowed for a long time, and finally waved his hand, "Xiao Xi, you said that King Hao came with you, right? I want to ask King Hao to do me a favor!"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Xi looked at him suspiciously.

"Recently, there have been several cases of missing women in the counties under my management, but I sent people to investigate but couldn't find any clues. It seems that some capable people have covered these things up, and the cases cannot be solved. Progress can only be inexplicably closed.

By chance, I learned that the person who covered these things was done by an official surnamed Mu under Chen Shiqing's staff. "

Surname Mu?Chen Shiqing's subordinates had the surname Mu, so the only one was Mu Guilin's father.

Wu Jun continued, "Even if I asked Prime Minister Xiao for help, Prime Minister Xiao couldn't find out the clues, because all the clues were blocked by the surname Mu. No one knows where the missing women went. I know that Lord Hao is more powerful, so I want to ask him for help to end this stalk in my heart, and I want to find those missing girls back!" Wu Yun looked at Xiao Xi firmly, and begged him help.

Xiao Xi looked at him, and suddenly smiled faintly, "You are so considerate of the people, how can I not help?"

A hint of gratitude flashed across the corner of Wu Yun's mouth.

Xiao Xi took Mrs. Xiao's farewell and returned to the Xiao Mansion.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Xiao Xi went to find Prime Minister Xiao and told him about it.

"I can't touch the whole story of this matter. If you really look for King Hao, maybe there is a way to solve it*" Xiao Xi nodded, but Chu Haotian just came to ask him something, Xiao Xi was a little hard to speak.

Back in his room, Xiao Xi was taken aback by Chu Haotian inside, he didn't know he was in his room.

"My lord?"

Chu Haotian slowly raised his eyes to look at him with a gloomy expression, "Where have you been?"

"Accompany my mother to visit some friends. The prince is in my room all afternoon?"

"Well, you made all these paintings?"

Xiao Xi followed Chu Haotian's gaze to look at the painting on the desk, and replied, "Yes, I drew it randomly before." Xiao Xi didn't think there was any problem, but at this moment Chu Haotian's gloomy expression made him a little confused .

"It's a good painting, and this one is also a good one." Chu Haotian pulled out the portrait of the woman below.

Xiao Xi glanced at it, but didn't answer.

"Aren't you going to tell me?"

Xiao Xi wondered, "What does the lord want me to say?"

This portrait was drawn by Xiao Xi before he married into Prince Hao's Mansion. The person in the portrait was his cousin Xiao Ying. At that time, Xiao Cheng pestered Xiao Xi to draw it. Xiao Xi helped her draw one, but she was not satisfied. , Xiao Cheng was still dissatisfied after repeated overhaul several times.In the end, Xiao Xi had no choice but to take his heart with him and draw this picture with his heart. At that time, Xiao Yin was very satisfied and very happy, but he forgot to bring it when he left, so he kept it until now.

Chu Haotian's face became completely gloomy^ "The woman in this portrait is not your previous crush, is it?"

Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what Chu Haotian wanted him to say.
