Chapter 157

Fortunately, Mo Beiyu didn't refute after hearing this, and after saying hello, he agreed to her plan on the spot.

So that afternoon, Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu went out of the city with their entourage.

Qingshui Township is not far from the capital, and it is not close. They stop and go, and the group of people drove for two days and two nights before finally arriving at the intersection of Qingshui Township.

Standing at the intersection of Qingshui Township, looking at the stone tablet sitting beside her, Chu Qinglan's memories suddenly returned to the past.

"When I was young, I grew up here. At that time, I was just a little girl from an ordinary villager's family." Chu Qinglan said with a smile. "I always thought that I would never come back again, but I never thought that I would come back here again."

Originally, she thought that coming back here again would make her feel very uncomfortable, but she didn't expect that her mood was just a little complicated, but she didn't have the feeling of being close to home as she imagined.

Maybe it's because she didn't have a good life in Qingshui Township when she was a child, or it might be because she was too young at that time, so she didn't have much deep feelings for Qingshui Township.

She just thought about these words in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, Mo Beiyu felt the change in her mood all of a sudden, his heart ached, and without saying a word, he immediately stretched out his hand and hugged her gently.

"Although this is the place where you lived since you were a child, you were too young at that time, and you had no relatives or reasons around you, and the Wei family didn't necessarily treat you sincerely."

"How do you know that the Wei family treats me badly?"

"If their family had been sincere to you, you would not have been like that when I met you."

Regarding the meeting with him back then, she didn't remember at all, so when she heard him say that, she immediately became curious and asked him: "How was I then?"

However, Mo Beiyu just smiled, but did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject calmly and said, "Stop talking about this, let's go, it's getting dark, and we have to find a place to stay before it gets dark." The place will do."

Seeing that he didn't want to bring up the past, Chu Qinglan didn't ask any more, nodded, and said, "We're going to go to Mrs. Wei Chen, why not just go to her house, what do you think?"

Mo Beiyu naturally had no objection to this, and nodded in response, "It's all up to you", and followed her to the village.

Wei Chen's house is a little inward from the entrance of the village, very close.

Everyone walked dozens of steps, and soon came to a dilapidated house.

The house was quite old, and the surrounding walls were covered with moss, and weeds were overgrown on both sides, and no one took care of it.

Mo Beiyu silently took in the surrounding environment, feeling a little strange about it.

At this time, Chu Qinglan had already walked to the gate.

The gate was closed tightly, and the paint on the red gate was somewhat mottled.

Looking at the familiar door, Chu Qinglan didn't think much, but directly raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door vigorously, while shouting loudly: "Godfather, godmother, are you at home? Godfather , godmother—"

The house was very quiet, almost no movement at all, and it was not known whether anyone was at home in the house.

Chu Qinglan didn't give up, so she raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door, while opening her mouth to continue calling for someone, at this moment, the door next door squeaked, and suddenly opened from the inside.

As the wooden door opened, a white-haired old lady poked her head out of the door immediately, her cloudy eyes looked up and down at Chu Qinglan and everyone in front of her.

After watching for a long time, the old woman asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The old woman was old and dim-sighted, so she didn't recognize Xiao Qinglan back then, but Chu Qinglan recognized it immediately.

Shouted: "Grandma Cen, I'm Qinglan! Do you remember me?"

While saying this, Chu Qinglan had strode up to the old woman.

"Qing Lan?" The old woman was obviously familiar with this name, but due to her age, her memory was not very good, so she murmured it several times before she finally remembered it.

The old woman said "ah", and patted her thigh: "So you are the little girl adopted by the Wei family, ah, no, I should call you the eldest princess now."

As the old woman said, she was about to bow down and bow down.

Seeing this, Chu Qinglan had no choice but to quickly reach out to support the old woman.

"Grandma Cen, you don't need to be too polite. I came back today as an ordinary person to visit my family, so just treat me like that little girl who was not of any status back then. Please don't see me outside."

Although her status is precious, she really never felt that there was anything special about her eldest princess.

So no matter inside or outside the palace, she has always been kind to everyone.

It is also because of this that most of the maids in the palace like her very much, even those who were taken in by her when they were in Fucheng, such as Liu Sanniang and others also liked her very much.

The old woman obviously understood her character, so when she heard her say that, she stopped being polite, but responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, then my old woman should call you Qinglan like I did back then." .”

Seeing that the other party was so kind, Chu Qinglan became happy, and said with a smile: "That's right!"

After the two talked and exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chu Qinglan decisively got to the point and said, "Grandma Cen, to tell you the truth, I am coming back today, mainly to see my godfather and mother, but I knocked for a long time just now, but no one answered, are my godfather and mother not at home?"

"Qing Lan, it's really not the right time for you to come back." The old woman said suddenly.

Chu Qinglan was very puzzled when she heard it, and asked quickly, "How do you say that?"

"Your godfather and godmother have already moved away a few months ago, and you just came back at this time, maybe it's not the right time to come back."

Hearing these words suddenly, Chu Qinglan couldn't help being taken aback, and immediately instinctively raised her head to look at Mo Beiyu who was standing beside her.

Mo Beiyu was also surprised.

He originally thought that as long as he came to Qingshui Township, he would be able to find the Wei family and his wife who were born and raised in Qingshui Township, and then he would ask clearly about the past.

I never thought that the couple would have left Qingshui Township long ago!

After a brief astonishment, Chu Qinglan hurriedly asked again: "Grandma Cen, you said that my godfather and mother left a few months ago, so do you know when they left? Also, Why did they suddenly move away, and where did they go?"

The old lady didn't hide it from her, and immediately told Wei and his wife exactly when they left.

After hearing this, Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu soon noticed that the time when Wei and his wife left happened to be a few days after Wei Xiu was executed.

But whether there is any connection between the two, it is hard for the two to say.

Chu Qinglan had no choice but to suppress the doubts and uneasiness in her heart, and continued to ask the old woman.

It's a pity that the old lady didn't know much. Apart from knowing the exact time when the Weis and his wife left, the old lady couldn't answer the other questions including why they moved away and where they moved.

Seeing this, Chu Qinglan didn't continue to ask any more questions. After thanking her, she said goodbye to the old lady, and then returned to Wei's house with Mo Beiyu.

"What to do, they are not at home, and they don't know where they have moved to. It may not be easy to find their whereabouts," Chu Qinglan said.

Although Mo Beiyu was also a little anxious, he still patted her on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "As long as it is a place where you have lived, there will be traces and clues. Let's go into the house and have a look. Maybe there are clues in the house."

"Things can only be like this now." Chu Qinglan sighed, and then decisively followed him and broke in.

It's just that the room was already empty, not to mention people, not even a ghost could be seen.

Chu Qinglan was so depressed because of this that she didn't even have the mood to recall the past.

Mo Beiyu, on the other hand, took it easy, and after comforting her a few words, he resolutely led the people to continue walking in.

In fact, what he said, "As long as there are places where people have lived, there will be traces and clues" is just to comfort her, so even he himself is not confident whether he can really find any clues.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house, he found that something was wrong.
