Chapter 128 You scared me
Xiao Mo pressed her forehead and picked up a hairpin to play with it.
"If this yard was given by Qi Minxiu, I can refuse it if he doesn't want money.
Because I like him and I'm not afraid of owing him anything. We'll get married in the future anyway."
Shen Yun looked at her with a confused look: "It's the same with Mr. Lu. It's not that you refuse to give it to him, it's that he doesn't want it."
Xiao Mo stared at the thing in her hand without moving her eyes: "You don't understand, it's better to figure out some people and some things clearly, put the thing away."
Early the next morning, Xiao Mo and Shen Yun took their things to Lu's house.
They were afraid that he would have to leave early due to business, so it was only dawn when they went there.
Lu Huai was eating breakfast in his yard. He was a little surprised when he heard the servant say that Xiao Mo had arrived.
Because she had been there before, Xiao Mo did not wait for the servant to come out and lead her, but went straight to the courtyard that she remembered.
Lu Huai was halfway through his meal and was about to go out to greet her when he saw her striding towards him.
"Miss Xiao, it's so early, why are you looking for me?"
Xiao Mo generously placed a large bag of things on the table.
"I thought about it all night last night. I can accept anything you give me, but if you give me a house, I will be unable to sleep or eat if I don't pay you."
Lu Huai smiled knowingly and turned sideways to signal her to come in: "You probably haven't had breakfast yet at this early hour, right? Someone come in..."
Xiao Mo stood still and raised her hand to interrupt him: "Don't bother, I've already eaten."
She looked up at the pale sky and said, "I have to move, so I won't stay any longer."
She finished her words quickly and turned to leave, but was stopped by Lu Huai in a gentle voice.
"Miss Xiao, you should take these things back. I made it very clear yesterday."
Xiao Mo turned her back to him and tilted her head slightly: "Just decide if it's enough. This is all I have anyway."
She was afraid that Lu Huai would argue with her like he did yesterday in the restaurant, so she quickly left the yard as soon as she finished speaking.
At Prince Chen's Mansion, Xiao Mo was met with cold sarcasm from Qi Minxiu as soon as she arrived.
"Hey, you still remember to come here? I thought you forgot about Prince Chen's Mansion!"
Just as Shen Yun was about to help Xiao Mo explain, Xiao Mo stopped her and asked, "Where's Aunt Feng?"
Qi Minxiu leaned against the stone pillar with his arms folded across his chest: "Of course you are resting so early.
Hey, are you only concerned about Aunt Feng? What have you been doing these past few days? I haven’t seen a single soul.”
Xiao Mo walked into the hall on her own, as if it were her own home.
"Aren't you in front of me? If you weren't here, of course I would ask, hey, where's Qi Minxiu?
I've been helping Aunt Feng find a place to live these days. Didn't I tell you about it when I came back?"
Qi Minxiu walked up to her and raised his hand. The maid retreated and quickly brought out some food.
"Didn't I tell you to leave this matter to me? Besides, you went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day and never came back. You didn't say you were going to look for a house before you left."
Qi Minxiu kept chattering like a little nagging woman.
Xiao Mo rubbed her ears, pretending not to hear: "I see, isn't this already found?"
"Have you found it? Where is the location? Is the yard big enough and grand enough?"
"Aunt Feng likes quietness and elegance. The place I found is definitely what she wants. It's in Taohua Lane in the south of the city."
Qi Minxiu frowned and thought for a moment: "Taohua Lane, that place is too remote."
Xiao Mo sighed softly: "I have been looking for a few days and found the most suitable place.
You and I are both good at riding horses, so it won’t take long to ride back and forth, and we can go see her anytime, anywhere.”
Qi Minxiu was silent for a moment, then tapped his chin lightly: "That's the truth, but the situation in the south of the city..."
"Well, you'll definitely like that place if you go and see it."
Xiao Mo interrupted him, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, stood up and patted the cake crumbs on her body: "I'll go see if Aunt Feng is awake."
Qi Minxiu sat in his original seat and had a sumptuous breakfast prepared, but what he waited for was not Xiao Mo and Feng Zhiqiu who came out to snuggle up to each other.
Xiao Mo ran out in a panic and anxiously asked Qi Minxiu: "Where is she? Where is Aunt Feng? Why is she not in the room?"
Qi Minxiu was stunned by her question, and looked puzzled: "Isn't she sleeping in the room all the time?"
Xiao Mo held her forehead and hurriedly walked back and forth: "What room? She's not here. The quilt is neat and cold. She must have been away last night."
Qi Minxiu stood up in disbelief, his eyes turned, and he called the maid in a stern voice.
"Where are the people who served Grandma Feng yesterday? Who were they? Stand up."
When the head nanny heard his tone, she knew that this matter was not simple, and hurriedly called out all the maids in Feng Zhiqiu's courtyard.
A dozen maids stood in two rows, all trembling with their heads lowered.
Before Qi Minxiu could step forward to question him, Xiao Mo took the lead.
"Where is Grandma Feng?" At first, Xiao Mo just asked calmly, suppressing her anxious heart.
The scene of the maids looking at each other without saying a word angered Xiao Mo.
She lowered her voice and shouted angrily, "How can you serve me? You can't even keep an eye on a living person like that?"
Qi Minxiu knew how she felt right now, so he walked up to her and gently put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her.
"Amo, now is not the time to scold them. We should hurry up and find someone."
His words woke Xiao Mo up.
Xiao Mo calmed down her anger and glanced at him sideways: "Divide the troops into four groups. Send four groups to search for the four main streets, and Shen Yun and I will search for those small places."
"I'll go with you, let's go."
They hurriedly gathered their subordinates, and as soon as they went out, they saw a distraught figure in the distance.
Xiao Mo had just mounted the horse, but before she could even sit straight she jumped off excitedly.
"Auntie Feng!" she shouted as she ran towards Feng Zhiqiu.
Qi Minxiu spotted her after Xiao Mo and quickly dismounted.
"Aunt Feng, are you okay? Where did you go? Where did you sleep last night?" Xiao Mo worriedly pulled Feng Zhiqiu to look left and right.
Feng Zhiqiu smiled at her tiredly: "I'm fine, I felt bored after dinner yesterday and wanted to go out for a walk.
Because I didn't want the maids to follow me, I secretly left through the side door. I didn't expect this imperial city to be so big that I actually got lost."
Xiao Mo looked at her doubtfully: "I want to hear the truth."
Feng Zhiqiu stared at her solemn expression in surprise. Just as she was about to speak, she leaned in front of her and asked quietly, "Is Qi Minxiu treating you badly? Tell me, and I'll help you punish him."
Feng Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, smiling and shaking his head: "How is that possible? His Royal Highness Prince Chen treats me very well and does everything himself."
