Chapter 45 Calm and calm

When they returned to the carriage, they saw Qinsang who was tied up in the carriage. Xihe was stunned. After tying Qinsangsong, the three of them returned to the royal palace silently.

The next day, when Liang An Liangjie heard the news that Princess Pingyuan returned to China, they were stunned. They did not expect An Yuyan to leave so suddenly, and did not even practice wine or send off the team. She just knew Liang Chun and left casually, which made them feel a little overwhelmed.

An Yuyan didn't choose any prince-consort. The news that she left after only a few days was obviously happier than ever. She was very calm and she also had a little admiration for this woman.

Xihe didn't react when he learned about it, and he didn't even feel surprised, but there was still a place in his heart that was not very stable, and there was always an inexplicable anxiety.

I went to Yufan Tower for a while and sat on the third floor for an afternoon. Now she already owns ten shops in Kyoto, and there are also her shops in surrounding towns. Under the operation of Baiyu Yingbai Yuluo and others, most of the Lingcang has been spread all over her industry. I believe that in the near future, the goal of opening the entire Lingcang will be achieved.

Sihe thought in a daze while stroking the long-lived lock on his chest.

In the silence, the sunset covered the sky, dyeing the sky into a gorgeous orange. The afterglow of the sunset fell into the room through the windows, spreading all over the Xihe River.

As May comes, the weather is a bit capricious, and the cloudy days make people feel uneasy.

These days can only be described as calm and calm. There are no major things, not even minor things. Liang Chun's health has improved a lot. The prince still went to Qinzheng Hall to learn from him. Because of Liang Chun's special attitude before Princess Pingyuan came last time, Liang An Liangjie is completely idle at home, and he does not have to go to the palace every day. Now he doesn't have to go to the palace anymore. The officials who came to curry favor with them from time to time no longer come to everyone's hearts, and they have been marked with a red cross and have no chance of having the honorific position. The two of them are very calm about this. They play chess and drink at home every day, extremely leisurely, and seem to no longer pay attention to those illusory things.

They are like this, and some people are naturally happy.

It was almost her birthday, and Liang'an Liangjie began to enter the usual busy period again. Xihe was helpless and moved by their gift preparation period like a snake hibernation. However, she was free and had nothing to do.

In the end, she had to run to Liangjie's study to read the books. She had already finished reading the remaining military books. She really couldn't read them. She searched for them and found nothing suitable. When she was about to leave, she saw a screen placed next to the desk. She saw a new one. She looked forward and glanced at it for a few times. She felt that some beauty was painted inside. She was curious and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the characters inside.

The screen is divided into eight sides, and there is a woman on each side, which is the same person. The only difference is that the eight sides depict the appearance of a woman from childhood to adulthood, from two years old to eight years old, leaving blank space on the last side, obviously not yet time.

Looking at the lifelike self above, Xihe felt warm in his heart. He touched himself on each side, closed the screen with a smile, turned around and left here.

Xihe often stayed in Yufan Tower for the rest of the day, listening to the songs she liked in her previous life, and she felt a little dazed. At this moment, she suddenly felt that this life was a destined process, and her previous life was just a springboard, so she died young and prematurely. There will be many different and wonderful things in this life that belongs to her!

Xiaohe, you are so leisurely.

The sudden sound interrupted her meditation. Xihe turned around and saw Bai Yuying and Bai Yu Luo entering from outside the door. Bai Yu Luo was raising his eyebrows and smiling at her.

Are you back?Thanks for your hard work.Xihe smiled and stood up, poured two cups of tea and handed it to the two people sitting at the table.

The two took a gulp and drank it all, and Xihe continued it for them.

Is it going smoothly?

Bai Yuying nodded: Everything went well. The first store in those towns had already opened. The business was excellent before we came back, so it must be no problem.

After drinking the tea, she continued: There are reliable people there, so they can take care of them and don’t worry. It is more than enough to open a third branch this year.

There is tea added to the West River, so you don’t have to worry about it, just have a good rest.

Bai Yuying nodded, and the two of them looked at Bai Yuluo in a row, suddenly silent. Xihe said in surprise: What's wrong with you?Why don’t you talk if you’re just fine?

Bai Yuluo raised his head, and his handsome face, which had always been cheerful, wrinkled like a bitter gourd. Suddenly, I thought of the couples I met when I entered the city, and I was in a bad mood.

What's going on?Xihe asked Bai Yuying.

Bai Yuying also frowned and sighed: When we entered the city, we met several poor people who were blocked by officers and soldiers. Seeing that they were all pairs of couples, we went up to ask a few questions. It turned out that they lost their children and reported to the local yamen without caring about it. So we went to Beijing to personally complain, but unexpectedly, they were stopped at the gate of Beijing. Alas, it's really a pity...

Xihe frowned, lost the child?

Where is it? Xiaohe, do you still remember the incident of losing a child that I told you a year ago.Bai Yuluo said dejectedly.

Hasn't caught anyone for such a long time?Xihe was surprised.

Bai Yuying nodded. The government has been handling this case, but this group of thieves are very cunning. So far, no clue has been found. In the past, children were lost in small villages, but now there are almost all missing children in the capital. Where did you think so many children have been taken?

They are all children in their teens?

Bai Yuying was slightly stunned, thought for a while and nodded: I heard what you said, it’s true that the ones who lost are basically children around ten years old, the older one is no more than twelve years old, and the younger one is also eight years old.

Xihe said lightly: If you want to abduct so many children and have goals, you are no longer just human traffickers. It is very likely that some cult organization has emerged or been raised in captivity for training.

Bai Yuying and Bai Yuluo were stunned when he heard this. Bai Yuluo frowned, wow, isn’t it completely hopeless to find these children?Where is the best place to find cults? Who can distinguish between so many orthodox cults? Besides, the world is so big that there is no way to find them.

Xihe sighed, "It's, in such an era of blocked and backward news, without Internet-connected identity registration and convenient communication equipment, it's hard to find such a goal. Although it's not completely hopeless, there's really little hope. These lost children can only hope for their good luck."

hateful!Bai Yuluo punched the table and shouted angrily.

Xihe and Bai Yuying looked at each other, and the two patted Bai Yuluo on the shoulder to comfort him silently, and Xihe's heart became heavier.
