The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 427
Cui Hengyue was fined to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, but the servants of Jinglanyuan were not restrained.

After Liu Yang left, Cui Hengyue ordered Shui Fu and Ju Hong to go out to find out the news.

Not long after, Shui Fu came back first and reported the news she had found to Cui Hengyue. As soon as she finished reporting, Ju Hong came back.

"Sister Shuifu came back so soon?" Ju Hong was very surprised, but guessed in her heart that Shuifu would come back so soon, and the news she inquired about must not be as comprehensive as she had inquired about.

Therefore, Ju Hong said to Cui Hengyue in a slightly smug tone: "Yuan Niang, I went to every room."

Cui Hengyue leaned forward very cooperatively, with strong interest in her eyes: "Oh, how did they react?"

Ju Hong glanced at the stern-faced Shui Fu, secretly delighted, pretended to be mysterious and took two steps forward, and whispered to Cui Hengyue: "After hearing the news, the Duke sent someone to say hello to Jingzhao Mansion. Let them try their best to search for the whereabouts of Jiulang and Ba Niang.

"The old lady didn't respond, but the third master begged her, so she sent steward Guo Jin to help.

"The third lady comforted the third master, but did nothing else.

"The uncle didn't do anything, but the lady sent someone to search.

"There is no movement in the second and fifth rooms."

It seems that except for the eldest lady and her father, no one in this mansion really cares about Xiao's mother and son.

I don't know whether her father cares about Xiao's mother and son, or only cares about his son Jiulang.
Cui Hengyue's eyes suddenly became sad. She sat on the chair, and her mother's appearance before she died appeared in her mind.

"Yuan Niang, what's the matter with you?" Ju Hong felt uneasy, and called Cui Hengyue softly, but there was no response.

Shui Fu said to her: "Let's go out and let Yuan Niang be quiet."

In the evening, Cui Hengyue walked into the dining hall, but saw a man standing inside, just about to yell at him, the man turned around: "This subordinate has seen Yuan Niang."

But it was Liu Yang.

Seeing his dejected face, Cui Hengyue knew it, and waved at Shuifu and the others.

When there were only the two of them in the dining room, Cui Hengyue stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair: "Deputy Commander Liu must be tired and hungry after searching all day.

"Sit down and have dinner together."

Liu Yang stood still, with a hint of eagerness in his respect: "This subordinate dare not, Yuan Niang, let's have a meal, this subordinate is waiting for you here."

He asked again after she finished her meal.

Cui Hengyue didn't force him to eat slowly.

When they were almost finished eating, Cui Hengyue slowed down and asked casually, "Did you find the three mother and son Xiao?"

Isn't this a well-intentioned question?

Liu Yang lowered his eyes, his tone was still very respectful: "No."

Seeing that Cui Hengyue started eating again, Liu Yang hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Is Xiao's mother and son really in your hands?"

"Snapped!"

Cui Hengyue put the box that had been prepared a long time ago on the table: "Open it and have a look."

Liu Yang didn't know what came to mind, trembling, he touched the box, opened it slowly, saw that there were jewelry inside, he was relieved immediately.

Upon closer inspection, he was stiff again.

The things in the box are ornaments that Xiao's mother and son often wear, and the bead flower that Xiao wears is still a gift from him.

He held the box tightly, trying to calm down the turmoil in his heart, "You won't kill them, and then take their ornaments to lie to me?"

"Why did I lie to you?" Cui Hengyue blinked her innocent almond eyes.

Liu Yang gritted his teeth: "Of course it is to achieve your goal."

Cui Hengyue was stunned for a moment: "Oh, that's right, I have a purpose, so what do you think?"

"I want to see them first to make sure they are safe."

"Can."

Just when Liu Yang thought his goal had been achieved, Cui Hengyue's voice came from next to his ear: "Are Ba Niang and Jiu Lang your children?"

Liu Yang couldn't hold back, rushed forward and growled: "Xiao Shi is my younger sister"

Suddenly stopped.

He was fooled.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Cui Hengyue's triumphant smile, and felt remorse in his heart.

Cui Hengyue took out a piece of paper from her purse, unfolded it and put it on the table: "Tomorrow you go to this restaurant to find the shopkeeper, and he will arrange for you to meet Mrs. Xiao.

"After the meeting, if you want to cooperate with me, come to me, and I will fulfill my promise.

"If you don't want to cooperate with me, you can also tell my grandfather about this and bring back Xiao's mother and son."

Cui Hengyue didn't say much, after Liu Yang read the note, he burned the note.

"Go back and think about it carefully."

Liu Yang carried the food box, exited the dining room, and returned to his room in a daze.

Judging from the current situation, what Yuan Niang said should be true, Amei's family is probably in her hands.

If so, is he really going to work with her?
I don't know what she wants to do?
Liu Yang vaguely felt that Cui Hengyue's actions might be against Duke Jing.

He was a little uneasy, and a little apprehensive.
I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Yang left the mansion under the pretext of searching, and quietly came to the place Cui Hengyue told him.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant seemed to have known that he was coming, so he took him to the backyard, and then walked over with a black cloth: "Vice Commander Liu, according to the rules, you have to cover your eyes."

Liu Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Then, he fell into the darkness, only knowing that he was being helped into the carriage, and then the carriage left the backyard of the restaurant.

Knowing that someone was watching in the carriage, Liu Yang didn't dare to tear off the black cloth from his eyes, and just listened attentively to the movement outside, trying to remember the route.

The deep voice of the shopkeeper sounded in the carriage: "Deputy Commander Liu, don't bother thinking about it. After I show you to see it, we will move him to another place."

Liu Yang didn't feel embarrassed by being seen through, but the hope in his heart had dissipated.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped, but it was outside another courtyard.

"Go in, they're in the room."

After Liu Yang walked into the yard, he stopped suddenly.

Looking through the open door, he could clearly see what was going on inside. Mrs. Xiao was teaching Cui Ba Niang how to embroider, and Cui Jiulang was reading a book. Their expressions were peaceful, without panic or uneasiness.

The room is as warm as usual, and the years are quiet.

"Why, isn't Deputy Commander Liu going in and talking to them?" asked the shopkeeper.

Liu Yang turned around and left: "Don't read it, send me back."

The shopkeeper did as he said, blindfolded Liu Yang, and sent him back to the restaurant.

Afterwards, Liu Yang went to the cliff where Xiao's accident happened, and followed the people in the mansion to continue searching.

Before the city gate was closed, Liu Yang went back to Duke Jing's mansion, but instead of going directly to Cui Hengyue, he went to report the search results to Cui Quan.

"My lord, the cliff is unfathomable, we can't reach the bottom, but we searched around the cliff, but we didn't find Ba Niang and Jiulang.

"It's been so long that they might"

Liu Yang fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

Cui Quan stared at him for a while, and suddenly asked: "You didn't go directly to the cliff after you left the mansion in the morning, where did you go?"

There was silence in the house.
