Be a mermaid after 1000 years

Because it was the weekend, there was a bit of traffic jam on the way back. When we arrived in Ankad City, it was past the usual meal time. It was getting dark and the street lights were on. Fortunately, they had a light meal in the hotel before going on the road. , the stomach is not hungry.The car was still some distance away from home, when I saw people arguing outside the big iron gate, the voices were not loud, but it could be seen that one party was very anxious, while the other party tried to make them leave.

"What's going on?" Li Miaowei yawned, still a little sleepy.

Blanche stretched his head to look, and found that apart from Butler Chardy and the two servants at home, the other two people also looked familiar. Sure enough, as the car approached, he saw that one of them was in the Xiulan Tea House. Blanche's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Xiulan has always known the general situation and never took the initiative to contact him except for business, let alone send someone to find her home. If this happened, something must have happened. stopped.

"My family has something to go out, and I can't receive you, so let's go!"

Butler Xia Erdi didn't know Xiulan's real identity yet. Seeing that it was people from Xiulan who came to find the Duke, he naturally didn't dare to let them in. He saw that it was getting late, and he was worried that Li Miaowei would see him, so he kept pushing He wanted to drive them away, but those two people were also very stubborn and insisted on standing at the door and waiting.

"Josie, what's the matter?" Blanche pushed down the window and called the steward by name.

Josie looked back and saw that it was the Duke himself, and immediately ran up to say hello happily. When he found that the Duchess was still sitting in the car, his expression immediately became unnatural.

Blanche nodded to the butler Chardy, and Chardy stopped trying to stop Josie, looked at Li Miaowei in a blink of an eye, and stepped aside in confusion.

"What happened?"

"My lord, this..." Josie glanced at Li Miaowei with flickering eyes, but hesitated to speak.

"Speak directly if you have something to say!" Blanche felt a little anxious.

"That's right, my lord, something may have happened to Miss Xiulan."

"It's possible?" Blanche frowned and asked, "What does this mean? Make it clear!"

"Miss Xiulan went out yesterday afternoon, and she hasn't come back until now, and the phone can't be reached. We are all worried, so we can only come to you."

Blanche patted the steering wheel, and his tone became stern: "Didn't I take care of her last time, why don't you run around when you have nothing to do recently? How do you do things? There are so many people in the tea house, and you can still lose people. !"

"My lord, you misunderstood. Miss Xiulan has been staying in the tea house these days and has never gone out. You forgot that today is Mr. Uriel's memorial day. Miss Xiulan went to visit the grave. She came to me at noon today. We called and said we would be home around three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was almost five o'clock, and no one came back, and the mobile phone also showed that it was turned off, so we felt something was wrong."

Blanche had indeed forgotten about this matter. Every year on this day, Xiulan would go to visit her deceased husband's grave. "You let her go out alone?"

"No, there is a driver and a worker in the tea house, all of whom are strong and trustworthy."

"Have you contacted them yet?"

"I have contacted, and the driver's mobile phone is also turned off. The long-term worker does not use a mobile phone." Josie said, wiping the sweat from his brow.

"Zoe..." Blanche looked back at Li Miaowei.

"I understand, you go, don't waste time."

Li Miaowei took the souvenirs he bought and was about to get out of the car. Blanche pulled him and kissed him, and said, "You are also tired on the road, go and rest. If I can't make it back at night, you can go to bed alone. Don't worry." wait for me."

"okay, I get it."

Li Miaowei got out of the car, and the butler took a lot of things from him. At this time, several people in the bodyguard car also came over.

"Marlowe, Felton, you two stay here, Liv and Nicole get in the car, and Josie, you get up too."

Waiting for everyone to get together, Blanche glanced at Li Miaowei, turned the car around, and drove away.

The person Josie brought also left quickly. Li Miaowei went home to distribute the gifts, and briefly explained Xiulan's identity to Xia Erdi, but he didn't have much time for dinner. After drinking a bowl of soup, he I went to the swimming pool to rest, and not long after, the housekeeper came over with a phone, Li Miaowei thought it was Blanche's call, and hurriedly swam over to answer it.

"Ma'am, it's your mother, Baroness Elvis." The butler reminded in a low voice, Li Miaowei was a little disappointed.

As soon as the phone was picked up, there was an exaggerated cry, "Woooooh, Zooey, my dearest child, hurry up and see your father, he is dying soon."

"What's up with him?"

"He was deceived by a few southerners who claimed to be nobles. Those liars who should have been shot a long time ago took him to mine some gold mine. In the end, he not only lost all his money, but also owed a large loan to the bank. Your father can't stand the excitement Falling ill, we didn't want you and Blanche to worry, but oh, poor Ians, he's dying and said he wants to see you for the last time, come back soon, please, Zoe!"

"Then I'll come over early tomorrow morning."

"No, no, come here now, maybe you won't see your father tomorrow. The newspaper said that you are full of love for the elderly in the nursing home, so you won't be so cruel to your biological father, right?"

"Then... well, I'll come here now."

"It's a good boy for mother, then I'll wait for you at the pier."

The baroness's tearful high-pitched voice was heard clearly by Didi who was lying on the side. When the phone was hung up, Didi curled her lips disapprovingly and said, "Master, Madam must have lied to you. Master is not so fragile. You must be calling back to ask you for money again."

"I know, but anyway, they are Zuo... They are my parents. Generally speaking, you can get by. Didn't you catch what she meant? It's unreasonable for us not to visit the sick, but if you want to borrow money , you also know that I have no money, go back and see the situation before we talk about it!"

Li Miaowei was quite helpless to have such 'parents', but he was still uneasy at home, so he might as well find something to do. He went back to his room, changed his clothes, and reported to the butler before going out.

"What time is it? It's already eight o'clock, do you want to tell your lord?" Xia Erdi was not at ease.

"Forget it, he must be busy now, I will come back as soon as I go, and I won't stay there overnight."

"Then you bring Marlowe with them."

"it is good."

While talking, Didi packed up and came over. In order to hurry up and go back, Li Miaowei didn't drive his mermaid car, but asked Marlowe to drive and take them to the Elvis River.

Xiulan’s deceased husband Ulier’s hometown Tuka Town is not far from Ankad City. In fact, it is a county close to the ancient city of Fabit that Blanche and the others have just visited today. They are all in the province of Fabit. Back and forth, but because mermaids are not suitable for traveling for a long time, under normal circumstances, Xiulan will go the day before, stay there for one night, and return the next day.

Blanche went out of the city, followed the route Josie pointed out that Xiulan and the others often took, and turned onto the road to Tuca Town. No abnormalities were found along the road. Blanche contacted the police stationed in Fabit Province. My subordinates, let them go to the hotels, restaurants and other places where Xiulan stayed to check. Before the news came back, they encountered a large number of traffic returning to the city.

"It's this time, why are there so many cars gathered, Leaf, you go and find out."

Lever came back quickly and said: "There was a rock collapse in a place ahead, a car accident occurred, and a section of the road was damaged. We have been rushing to repair it this afternoon, and it has just opened to traffic."

When Josie heard this, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, it seems that it was a false alarm."

"It's fine." Blanche just showed a smile, but when he thought something was wrong, he frowned again, "Josie, try calling them again."

The phone was still not connected at first, but after dialing several times, it finally got through. Josie sighed, "Thank God, Miss, where are you?"

"Josie, I'm sorry, there was an accident on the road, we'll be right back, don't worry."

Blanche grabbed the phone and asked, "Xiulan, where have you been?"

"My lord?" Xiulan was surprised and understood, "I'm sorry to trouble you, we're fine, this is...Route 38, and we'll be entering Ankad City in half an hour."

Blanche saw that it was exactly where they were now. After waiting for a while, they saw Xiulan's car. Blanche turned on the lights and signaled them to stop. Looking over, Xiulan was wrapped in a suit The 'water jacket', which kept the skin hydrated, was lying on the back seat with a tired expression, and smiled apologetically when he saw them coming.

"Xiulan, are you okay?"

"It's all right, my lord, just a little tired."

While Blanche was relieved, she couldn't help complaining: "Why didn't you notify Josie when you were stuck in traffic, and all the phones were turned off, so we couldn't get in touch even if we wanted to."

Before Xiulan could speak, the driver was anxious to explain: "Sir, in the afternoon, for some reason, my lady and I kept getting harassing calls from our mobile phones, and the other party was talking nonsense, so we had to turn off our phones but as soon as the phone is turned on, those calls will come in again, and the calls will not go out at all..."

Before he finished speaking, Blanche's expression changed.

"What's the matter, my lord?" Xiulan sensed something was wrong, sat up and asked.

Blanche was in no mood to answer, and immediately dialed the number at home.

"Chardie, is Zooey at home?"

"The madam is back at her natal home. The baroness called just now and called him away. The pier where Marlowe and the others sent him to. The madam said she would be back later..."

Blanche cut off the phone, dialed Zoe's cell phone again, and found that it was not connected, so he ran back anxiously. Liv and Nicole also quickly jumped into the car after him. Blanche started the car while contacting Marlowe.

"Marlowe, where have you been, come back quickly!"

"My lord, we are at the pier now."

"Where's Zoe?"

"Ma'am and Dee Dee are in the water, let's wait and say we'll be right back."
