Chapter 147
In the county government of Tao County, Yue Ji, the county magistrate, was furious.

He hurried back to the county government from Donghai Port, and before he changed into his official uniform, he heard the news of Liu Qiaoying's disappearance.

"What does it mean that Madam is missing? How do you serve her! Is no one following Madam?"

The people below knelt in a row, including the housekeeper, Liu Qiaoying's maid, and the personal maid, but no one dared to speak.

"Speak, butler!"

"My lord, five days ago Madam took Zixing to say that she was going to a wedding banquet. Quexi came back that day and said that Madam wanted to wait another three days before returning. I didn't expect that today is the fourth day, but I haven't seen anyone yet."

"Which house will Madam go to for the banquet?"

There was silence below.

Yue Ji was furious, grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it out. The fine Duan inkstone fell into two and almost fell on the housekeeper.

"Where is Quexi? You don't even know where Madam is going. What are you doing for food? A bunch of trash! It can be seen how neglectful you are on weekdays, and you don't care about it at all!"

"Don't be angry, my lord. Madam often has wedding banquets and banquets. When she goes out, she will not tell us where we are going, but will only tell us the time to return home.

Quexi's mother is seriously ill, she asked for leave yesterday and went home, I have already sent someone to ask her. "The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and answered bravely.

"Mother Hong, you are the person who serves Madam, don't you even know about it? After Quexi returned home, did you ignore Madam's news?"

With a big wave of Yue Ji's hand, he almost threw the hot tea on the table onto Nanny Hong, but the spilled tea still wet Nanny Hong's hair bit by bit, and Nanny Hong trembled, but she didn't dare to go wipe.

He always thought that Nanny Hong was Liu Qiaoying's dowry mother and she must be very loyal to Liu Qiaoying, but it seemed that things were not as simple as he thought.

"Returning to my lord, Madam may be going to the Jiang family in Peach Blossom Village, or the Du Mansion that sells cloth, or Xuanyi Tea House. All three of these houses have posted posts for Madam."

Grandma Hong, who was married to Liu's mansion, was lying on the ground, not daring to lift her head, and answered cautiously, secretly scolding Liu Qiaoying for being ignorant, to cause such trouble.

Looking at the three people below, Yue Ji kneaded his brows, feeling both pain and hatred.

"Immediately check. All three families will send people to inquire. I will get news within today. If I can't find my wife, I will sell you all!"

Where is Liu Qiaoying at this time?
Liu Qiaoying also wanted to know where she was.

Zixing drove her on a winding mountain road, crossed two high mountains, and only once let the horses rest, drink water and graze in the middle.

Zixing gave Liu Qiaoying a bag of dried meat with dry buns, but Liu Qiaoying was too tired to eat, she only drank a few sips of water, barely ate two mouthfuls of buns but almost spit them out.

It's not that the buns are too unpalatable, it's because she's too tired, Liu Qiaoying has no appetite.

Seeing Zixing, he sneered twice, turned and left.

Liu Qiaoying looked at the horse, then looked around, and completely gave up the idea of ​​running away. The mountain was dangerous, and it was useless for her to know how to ride a horse.

"Eat, you can't die yet."

Zixing came back quickly and threw a bag of wild fruits towards Liu Qiaoying.

Although the wild fruit is small, it is sweet and sour and juicy. Liu Qiaoying gnawed a few of them and finally felt better.

After resting, he continued on the road, and after walking for half a day, Zixing finally stopped.

They knocked on the door in front of an old house, and soon someone answered the door and welcomed them in.

Liu Qiaoying was taken to a small room alone. She fell asleep and slept until dawn the next day. When she woke up, she found white steamed buns and a new dress on the table. There were also new towels and a pair of clothes on the dressing rack next to her. Basin of water.

It's not like she never met a day without a maidservant. Liu Qiaoying sat down peacefully, finished eating steamed buns, and then slowly washed and changed her clothes.

After finishing everything, the door opened, and Zixing also changed clothes, from riding clothes to ordinary maid clothes.

"Ma'am, there is someone who needs you to meet."

"Let's go!" Although Liu Qiaoying was a little timid, but thinking of Liu Qingying, she still walked out straight.

The person Zixing asked her to meet surprised Liu Qiaoying.

The long water-blue beanie, the ink-gray long skirt, the beeswax beads, the long hair that hangs down, and only a simple bead hairpin is used to tie half of the hair into a bun.

The moon-white face is very delicate, with willow eyebrows and cat eyes, and a small cherry mouth with a slight smile.

He obviously looks about ten years old, but he sits safely in the upper seat, and does not leave his seat when Liu Qiaoying comes.

"Mrs. Liu, this is Her Royal Highness Princess Twelve."

Twelve princesses?The princess who was not favored and was thrown into the Li Palace without a title after she was ten years old?

Other princesses are famous for their beauty or talent, but this princess is famous for being neglected.

Liu Qiaoying didn't understand why the princess who was supposed to be in the Li Palace was here, and she also didn't understand why the princess wanted to see her, so she could only salute cautiously first.

"Mrs. Liu, did you scare you by coming here? It's completely helpless to act urgently. Please forgive me, madam.
Due to my special status, I cannot stay away from this place, so I have no choice but to invite my wife to come here to explain. "

The Twelve Princess Zhao Qianyue stood up and gave a slight nod in return.

"Princess, you don't need to be too polite. I don't know why the princess is looking for me. If you know that it is the princess who is looking for me, you should travel thousands of miles to do the work of a dog. Why do the princess make my sister suffer?"

"Your sister is doing well, but the eighth princess is about to die!" Zi Xing, who was standing behind Liu Qiaoying, couldn't help interjecting.

"Zi Xing, don't be rude, the matter of the imperial sister has nothing to do with Mrs. Liu." Zhao Qianyue raised her hand to stop it.

"It's none of her business? She and Concubine Bai worked hand in hand, what's so innocent?" Zi Xing was dissatisfied.

"What's wrong with the eighth princess? I only agreed to let the concubine Bai's goods go through the Liu family's route, I didn't do anything else!"

"Stupid!" Zixing wanted to say, but Zhao Qianyue raised her hand again to stop her.

"Zi Xing, you step back first, I want to talk to Mrs. Liu alone."

"Princess!"

"Go back."

Zi Xing reluctantly withdrew, leaving only Zhao Qianyue and Liu Qiaoying in the room.

Zhao Qianyue invited Liu Qiaoying to the table, and even poured tea for Liu Qiaoying herself, which made Liu Qiaoying feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

"The princess doesn't need to be too polite. If there is anything that needs to be done, my strength is weak, but I am willing to share her worries.
I didn't think carefully about the matter of the side concubine Bai. I never thought that she would dare to attack the royal family. I thought she was just trying to earn some private money. "

It is very common among aristocratic wives to transfer goods and circulate funds through other wives without showing their faces. Not only can they avoid the sight of their husbands, but sometimes they can also make a lot of money.

Liu Qiaoying had also handled many situations like this for Dong Yuhan before.

When Concubine Bai came to her, Liu Qiaoying was a little surprised, but she really wanted to have her own private money, especially not relying on Liu's mansion or Dong Yuhan, which made her even more excited.

The connections in the capital are less likely to be related to those in the south, and it is not easy for Dong Yuhan to find out, so Liu Qiaoying nodded.
