Chapter 342 Neglect of duty
When the sky turned white and shone slightly, the group finally returned to the house smoothly.

Before getting off the carriage, Xu Mengxiao calmed down her complicated thoughts, and then saw the carriage driver saying something to Lu He.

"What's wrong?" She noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense.

"Jiang Ba had discovered before that someone was colluding with a branch of the Xin family, and had given them advice and support, but he had never been able to find out who it was."

"Did you find it just now?" She was just distracted. How could they communicate the information?Xu Mengxiao was surprised again.

"Left phase."

Xu Mengxiao knew that it was definitely not just the Jia family. During the time when she was pretending to be Shen Yuan and hanging around in the Jia family, she discovered that the only one with the best brains in that family was Jia Huaian.

Oh no, maybe there is another person...

The whole night, Zhang Linjiang, Lin Cai and others did not fall asleep. When they saw the couple coming back with Xiaobao, they immediately went to greet them.

"What's going on? Are you okay?"

"No, this damn kid ran outside to play and got lost." On the way, they compiled a "confession."

Xiaobao's pale face and red and swollen eyes looked like hesitation and helplessness after being lost and unable to find home.

The group of people had no doubts at all, "Just find it. Don't run around next time. You can go and have a rest this night."

"Well, I've made you worry, so you should go to bed early." Xu Mengxiao yawned, really unable to hold on any longer.

Lu He originally wanted to ask her what she was worried about along the way, but when he saw that she fell asleep directly after washing herself, he paused and walked out quietly.

"Master." Mu Ying walked out of the corner as if he had been waiting for a long time, "The Crown Princess left yesterday."

Lu He was not surprised, after all, the other party had not seen the person she wanted to see yet.

"The old Marquis sent someone to take her back." Mu Ying was careful, but still told the truth.

The man slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Is he afraid that someone will support me?"

"No... the old Marquis may just be worried that the Crown Princess will be in danger if she comes alone."

Although the imperial concubine, as the master's mother, was definitely not weak, since the imperial concubine passed away and she went to the ancestral hall to practice meditation, she never interfered with the worldly affairs outside, even though she valued her precious son the most.

It wasn't until her master faked his death and escaped that she suddenly woke up from the grief of losing her husband, and suddenly realized what she had missed over the years.

I wanted to make up for all the regrets, but it was too late. I was depressed in my heart and my body was deteriorating.

Fortunately, at this moment, the master reappeared and summoned them.

Otherwise, even Mu Ying would have thought that his master was no longer alive...

To a certain extent, Mu Ying was very grateful to Xu Mengxiao for her appearance, which awakened her master's desire to survive and...ambition!
He was about to report what was going on in the capital when suddenly, a small figure walked over from the corridor.

Lu He waved his hand, and Mu Ying immediately disappeared into the night.

"Who are you talking to?" Xiaobao endured his fear and got closer to the tall and calm man.

"What are you doing up so late?" Lu He's tone was sparse and normal, as if he didn't regard Xiaobao as a child at all, nor did he care that he was a poor child who had lost a close relative tonight, and he didn't tolerate him at all.

Similarly, it also made Xiaobao feel the rare right to talk to adults on an equal footing.

In the past, Xiaobao didn't care about this. He liked the feeling of being pampered, spoiled, loved and protected as a child. Until tonight...

He seemed to have grown up overnight and knew what he wanted.

"I, I want to bring my grandfather back, and my parents..." At this point, he suddenly realized that those were not his parents, but his aunt and uncle.Why did he accept this so quickly? Obviously, he was not unaware of it before, he was just a carefree child who never thought about it deeply.

Now that I understand everything, I realize the seriousness of the matter.

"And my elder...my dad." Thinking of the man who had never spoken to him and was always immersed in the smoke, Xiaobao's face became a little complicated again.

"If they didn't find that important token, they would definitely be suspicious and then hurt them..."

"Yes." Lu He did not deny this. Even Mr. Xin's body was very likely to be harmed...

Xinjia Villa on the other side.

Xin Miaoyan and Mr. Xin Er fearfully led the left minister to the inner courtyard where the direct descendants of the Xin family lived, as if they were entering a no-man's land.

Mr. Xin Er was secretly proud of himself.

Thinking that they used to care about the distinction between legitimate and concubine and didn't take him seriously at all, but now they don't just let him do whatever he wants?
Damn direct line, concubine line, direct line, and collateral line. From now on, he and his descendants will be the direct line and direct line!
"He's right here, Mr. Zuoxiang..."

Sima Jian raised his hand, but looked sharply to the left and right, "Didn't you arrange for someone to guard here?"

Only then did Xin Miaoyan notice this and his expression changed.

"Impossible, the servant and the guard from before are here!"

Manager Cao, whom Xiaobao had met, immediately walked out bravely.

"Back to the young master, I was always here... maybe... there was something urgent, so I left temporarily..."

"You bastard! Why are you doing this without sending more help?" Mr. Xin Er kicked him to the ground.

But Zuo Xiang didn't even blink an eyelid, whether it was the collateral members of the Xin family who couldn't help him like a loser, or the direct members of the Xin family who were about to fall into his hands.

"Open the door."

"Yes, yes, please!" The father and son said respectfully, but the action of opening the door could not conceal their panic.

As soon as the door was opened, the people inside were seen hurriedly getting up from the low couch next to them, as if they were trying their best to hide something.

But he was still looked at thoroughly by a group of people!
Xin Miaoyan felt incredible. He specially selected these people and arranged them here, but what did they do?
"You, you are actually sleeping in there!?"

"No, no, the young ones don't know either. We clearly..." Several young boys and guards were also confused.

They were obviously waiting outside the door, why did they come inside the room?

And he was lying on the master's couch like an old man.

What's even more horrifying is that just now, as soon as they woke up and realized something was wrong, the master and the others broke in.

Before they even had time to think, Xin Miaoyan came up and slapped them.

"what is the problem!"

Several people couldn't explain it at all, until a gust of cold wind blew by, and suddenly a boy trembled and said.

"We, we can't make this kind of mistake, could it be...haunted..."

"Ah!" Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a horrified scream rang out, "Dead, dead!"

"The old man is out of breath!"
