Imperial College Kindergarten

Chapter 87 The eldest brother is missing!

Ever since his eldest brother said he was going to a very dangerous place, Liu Xueting had been restless for the past two days.

She even canceled the warm-house banquet she planned to hold during class break that day. She was really uninterested, so she ran to the teahouse as soon as she had free time, trying to collect as much information as possible.

If we talk about the recent heat in the capital, it is about the floods in Quzhou.

Is it possible that the dangerous place that big brother mentioned is Quzhou? !
In the past two days, the court had been arguing endlessly about who should be sent to provide disaster relief, and every time I asked the system, the system's answer was that it had nothing to tell.

Emotions such as anxiety, disappointment, and panic surged up one after another, causing her mouth to bubble. When she got angry, she grimaced in pain.

"Host, I'm sorry, I haven't received the news about the big melon in Quzhou, and I can't find out the news about Quzhou for the time being." 303 Seeing Liu Xueting like this didn't feel good.

"It's okay." Liu Xueting shook his head, "I'd rather there really isn't any big melon. Not having it means that my eldest brother may be safe."

She could only comfort herself like this.

"Why is there another flood in Quzhou?"

"It's harmful. It happens every few years. Everyone is used to it."

"Ah this? Hasn't the imperial court come up with any ideas?"

"Why not? As soon as there is a flood in Quzhou, the imperial court will spend a lot of money to open treasury and granary for disaster relief. In order to rebuild after the disaster, it even reduces taxes in Quzhou and rebuilds river embankments, but it is still useless!"

"Why is Quzhou called Quzhou? It's because there are large and small counties there, with waterways crisscrossing them, so when floods break out, it's like... well..."

Liu Xueting became more and more worried as he listened, and his brows were furrowed tightly, forming an obvious vertical line.

When she returned to her courtyard from the teahouse, her right eye suddenly jumped.

Even if you are not superstitious, you have heard the saying that "the left eye will bring good luck and the right eye will bring disaster". Liu Xueting closed his eyes and kept thinking in his heart, "It's the opposite! It's all the opposite"...

But I don't know if the more she thought about it, the more irritable she became. Even Mian Xia and others persuaded her to take a lunch break.

"Girl, you didn't sleep a wink last night, even if you just went to lie down for a while."

In order to avoid her random thoughts, she decided to lie on the bed and meditate for a while.But no matter what she did, she couldn't fall asleep. She didn't know how long it had been. In her dazed sleep, she seemed to see her master in modern times and her elder brother in ancient times. The two faces kept changing back and forth until they gradually overlapped. , the whole body disappeared in the rushing water...

"Master! Brother!"

Liu Xueting straightened up from the bed abruptly, with deep fear still hidden in her dilated pupils. The feeling of sudden loss still remained in her heart. She used her slightly trembling hands to calm her pounding heartbeat. At some point, a thin stream of sweat broke out on his forehead, and even his inner clothes were soaked through!
She gasped for breath. When her consciousness gradually returned, she found that she was still in a familiar room. She couldn't help comforting herself. It turned out to be just a nightmare!
"Girl?" Mian Xia asked softly outside the door, "What happened?"

"It's okay..." Liu Xueting responded, but found that his throat was extremely dry.

"I'll go get the girl a glass of warm water."

Mian Xia turned around and left, and Liu Xueting also got off the bed, sitting in front of the dressing table and staring blankly at herself in the mirror.

Why do the faces of the master and the eldest brother overlap in the dream?Why did the eldest brother call her "stop the snow" just like the master?Why does the eldest brother understand her preferences so well? Although this yard is small, everything is in the style she loves.Since she can time travel to Liu Xueting, then...could the master and the eldest brother be the same person or in a previous life?

"Girl? Girl?" Seeing Liu Xueting deep in thought, Mian Xia couldn't help calling softly, "Girl, drink a glass of honey water to moisten your throat. I'll comb your hair."

Liu Xueting came to his senses, took the cup, drank a few mouthfuls of honey water, and his throat felt much better.

"Young lady, you have a nightmare. You have been restless these past few days." Mian Xia asked while combing Liu Xueting's hair.

Liu Xue stopped putting down his cup and pinched his eyebrows: "For some reason, I have been dreaming about my eldest brother these past few days..."

"The eldest son must be a lucky man!" Not only the girls were worried, but the servants like them were also looking forward to the eldest son's safe return.

Liu Xueting was about to say something when he heard a commotion outside.

At this time, his hair was combed, and Liu Xueting got up and walked outside the house, only to see Mu Chichi walking around the courtyard with several burly men with anxious expressions on their faces.

Her heart pounded: "Sister-in-law?"

"Sister, your eldest brother -" Mu Chichi frowned, seemingly angry, but his words were already filled with tears, "Your eldest brother is missing in Quzhou!"

"What?" Liu Xue paused and felt like the world was spinning. Her hands and feet were weak and she was about to fall to the ground, but she was supported by Mian Xia and Fei Ye who came over!

Just that dream!
"I want to go to Quzhou!" Mu Chichi shouted fiercely. She didn't believe it was true anyway!
Mu Chichi clenched his fists almost without thinking, and told Liu Xueting with firm eyes: "He is just missing, I want to find him!"

Liu Xueting, who was reminded by the ding-dong sound of 303, slapped his forehead and quickly stopped Mu Chichi who was about to rush out: "Wait!"

"Sister! Don't stop me! If we delay a little longer, your brother will be in more danger!"

"Sister-in-law! Listen to me!" Liu Xueting grabbed the hem of Mu Chichi's clothes with great force. Seeing this, Feiye hurriedly helped Liu Xueting. Mu Chichi couldn't walk away and glared at her for not stepping forward to help. Her subordinates were so angry that she stamped her feet!
Bai Yi and others lowered their heads one after another. They didn't want the young master to be in danger, so...

"you say!"

"Where did my sister-in-law hear the news that my eldest brother was missing in Quzhou?" Liu Xueting came back to his senses and thought about it carefully and realized that there was a fraud.

"It's Liu Qingyan...you mean she lied to me on purpose?" Mu Chichi's expression changed sharply, "But Mrs. Hou is indeed very sad. She won't curse her son, right?"

Liu Xueting glanced at Bai Yi and the others, and Mu Chichi understood: "They are all our own people, they can say anything they want!"

"Brother has never stated that he is going to Quzhou! My eldest brother told me before that he was ordered by His Majesty. Every time he goes out on a secret mission, everyone in the Hou family should not know about it. Even I am the eldest brother before departure. After saying that, he didn’t mention anything about where he was going to return, he just said that he would be away for a while. If you think about it again, did you return to the Marquis Mansion two days ago?"

"Not really!" Mu Chichi was not stupid, and he quickly figured out the key, "They want me to leave the Hou Mansion on my own!"

Liu Xueting nodded. Regardless of whether Mu Chichi really went to find his elder brother or not, leaving the Hou Mansion was a fact. If he went to the dangerous Quzhou, if another accident happened, it would be hard to say how to arrange it... …
