Poor children

Chapter 55

"Hey! My uncle is here." Seeing Fang Shaoqin arrive at the door, the doorman hurriedly came out to greet him, "Hurry in and take a look, everything is in chaos inside."

Fang Shaoqin handed the horse's reins to Menzi and walked towards the north courtyard.

All of a sudden, both sons had accidents. At this time, the second wife was so shocked that she had already lay down, and she reluctantly got up when she saw Fang Shaoqin coming.
"Master, you're here." Xiang Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him coming. "Please advise me quickly. I'm sick to begin with and refuse to eat. How can I do this? If time goes by, do I still need this body?" Already?"

"You go to the kitchen to get some thin food first and feed it to your master later." Fang Shaoqin arrived. Seeing Xiang Xing go out, he came to the second lady's bed and said, "Sister"

"Shaoqin, I sent someone to invite you early in the morning. Why are you here now? I'm almost dying of anxiety." The second lady was so weak that she almost didn't have the strength to speak. When she saw Fang Shaoqin, she couldn't help crying again.

"I have some things to do in the morning"

"What on earth is such a big deal that is more important than your nephew?"

"Chenghe is fine, stay with me," Fang Shaoqin whispered.

"What did you say? Are they two okay?" Hearing the second lady's voice getting louder, Fang Shaoqin hurriedly reached out to stop her.

"My sister is silent. Chenghe has escaped and is now in a safe place. However, Chengzhe is still missing. The poor boy is also in their hands. Please don't say anything. I think there may be an insider in this mansion. According to Chengzhe, According to what He said about the scene at that time, the kidnappers seemed to be aiming at his two brothers. My sister also thought about it, is there some kind of enemy in this house? "

After listening to his words, the second lady calmed down, took off the cold towel on her forehead, leaned on the bed and half closed her eyes. After a while, she said quietly without even opening her eyes, "I don't know what kind of enemies the palace has outside. The only one who looks at it is There is only one person who is not pleasing to our mother. She lives in the west courtyard. Ever since the third young master was born, your two nephews have become even more of a nuisance. Now I prefer that the kidnappers are just trying to make money, so that they can survive. If it is true They were found in the West Courtyard. After taking the money, my child’s life was gone. Maybe they are still alive now and I have no idea.”

"Sister, don't be anxious, I will definitely bring Chengzhe back to you unscathed." After saying this, Fang Shaoqin walked out.
"Shaoqin is back." The second lady suddenly thought of something. "When you have free time, secretly check the Baiyun Palace outside the city. Every time the third lady comes back from there, something will happen in this mansion. I always feel that there is something going on there." "Evil spirit"

In the old lady's room in the east courtyard of the palace

The old lady sat on the kang and cried until she fainted several times. Mrs. Wang accompanied her and persuaded her, but she could not be persuaded.
"You useless thing, what are you still doing here? If anything happens to my two grandsons, you can go to your ancestors to apologize." The old lady was crying and scolding the prince.
"Mother, it's not that I don't want to send someone to look for it, but this letter says that if we look for it, it will kill Cheng and Chengzhe. Now it seems there is no better way. I will send money to them tomorrow. It will be good if the two brothers are redeemed." Seeing the old lady like this, the prince was very anxious and could only stand with hands hanging on the ground to comfort her.
"What you said is easy. I don't know how much my two grandchildren will suffer in the past two days. What if the gangster refuses to let them go after taking the money? If there is anything wrong with my grandchildren, I will also I won’t be alive anymore.” The old lady started crying again.
"Ancestor, please don't say that." The third lady came over and put Chengda on the kang. Chengda was young and didn't know what happened. When he saw the old lady leaning on the kang, he climbed into the old lady's arms. Wanting a hug, the old lady picked up Chengda and said, "Ancestor, you are a man of profound merit. How can you talk about life and death so lightly? I stayed up all night last night and kept chanting sutras for the two young masters. I have been praying to Bodhisattva to keep the two of them safe and sound. Ancestor, please relax and believe that the prince will definitely save them." The old lady held the third young master in her arms and gradually calmed down her excitement when she saw his naive and charming manner. "I usually say that you are the most considerate person and you have raised Chengda so well. If the two of them come back safely, I will first remember you for your great contribution."

The third lady laughed and said, "I haven't done anything, so how dare I ask for a reward from my ancestors? I'm stupid and don't want anything else. I just want everything to be well for my ancestors. That's enough."

Mrs. Wang sat on the Kang without saying a word. Over the years, she, the principal wife, had become more and more unpopular. In addition to having the title of principal wife, she was not as good as the second wife who had two sons, nor was she better than the third wife. There are both girls in the house and the prince loves her. She can't even compare to the fourth lady. The fourth lady is still loved by the old lady. When she was young, she still wanted to compete. In recent years, she has grown older and doesn't even want to fight anymore.
When the prince saw the third lady coaxing the old lady to get better with a few words, he felt grateful to her again in his heart.
The third lady was feeling most proud now. Although Master An sent a letter last night saying that one of them had escaped, but seeing that Chenghe had not returned home, she felt there was still a chance, so she asked Master An to send people to continue searching, and then called He still wrote two words in the letter asking for ransom. In short, she wanted the two brothers to die. In fact, what made her most comfortable was that she heard that a girl had been captured and called Paoer. This way, there would be no need for trouble. All the serious worries can be solved this time. What could be more joyful than this?

Tiedan'er and Chenghe didn't dare to delay. They galloped along the way and went to Master Sanyang's house first. It was still early in the morning, so they trapped Master Sanyang in bed.

When Master Sanyang saw the two of them barging into the house, he quickly covered himself tightly and said, "What are you doing?"

"Master, uncle, you are polite." Tie Dan'er bowed his hands and saluted
"What kind of politeness is this? Who can be polite enough to tuck Uncle Master under the covers so early in the morning?" Master Sanyang complained as he got up to change clothes, "You and that boy, what are you doing here so early in the morning? I don't care. meal"

"The poor boy has been kidnapped" Tiedan'er arrives

"What?" the Taoist priest asked, "Who tied her up? Why did she tie her up? To make money or to kill her?"

"I don't know either. He was the one who was going to be kidnapped, but the poor kid was kidnapped by mistake." Tiedan'er pointed at Chenghe and said.

"What's the look in the kidnapper's eyes? Can't you tell the difference between a boy and a girl? Why are you kidnapping the wrong one?" The Taoist priest said to Chenghe again, "Hurry up and get my disciple back."

Cheng He didn't know what to do when he asked him to say this.
"Uncle! What time has this been? Stop teasing him and think of a solution quickly." Tiedan'er said. "My senior brother has already gone to his house to inquire about the situation. He has agreed with me that he will come to you later." Let’s meet at the Gua stall. This is the young master from the palace over there. The one who was kidnapped together with the pauper is another young master. I’m afraid his home is not safe now, so I’ll ask him to stay away from you first.”

When the Taoist Master heard what Tiedan'er said, he looked Chenghe up and down carefully, "Well, my disciple has some connection with your family, and I heard that he is usually taken care of by your brother, so you can stay here for the time being and wait for me. Rescue your disciple before you leave."

Hearing this, Chenghe thanked him again and again.
After Sanyang Zhenren and Tiedan'er settled down, Chenghe left the Taoist priest's house one after another, rushing to Gua Tan.
