Xun'er, who had already escaped from the house, naturally didn't know what was happening behind him. When he saw his carriage resting against a shady courtyard wall, he quickly picked up his skirt and ran to the carriage in one breath, almost beating the driver. The grooms were startled.
"Miss, why did you come out so quickly this time?" The groom hurriedly put down the bamboo tube filled with water, wiped his mouth, and asked Xun'er strangely.
"Hey, don't mention it!" Xun'er jumped into the carriage, and then kept patting her chest with her little hands: "Sister Chu doesn't live here anymore!"
"Oh, I don't live here anymore!"
When the groom heard this, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just said "Oh" and said, "Yes, our family lives far away from the city, and we haven't been here for a long time. What, where has Miss Chu moved to now?" The old slave will take the young lady to find her!"
"She...she..." Hearing this question, Xun'er hesitated, and after a long time he said in frustration: "I don't know where she lives now. How about we go to Jiaofu first and look for the one in his house? Ask the idiot."
"Idiot?" The groom was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and hurriedly coughed twice and said: "Ahem, the lady is talking about Mr. Lin Hai, right? I don't dare to call him that! If the head of his family hears this, Come, come to my door, miss, you will probably be scolded by the master again!"
"Okay, okay, okay! I understand! I'm not stupid. I only said this in front of my own people. Let's go quickly!"
"Okay! Let's drive..."
Seeing that Xun'er was a little impatient, the coachman in front gave a wry smile and stopped asking any more questions. He gave a gentle shout, and the untied draft horse pulled the carriage and turned to the main road.
The copper bells jingled, the horses' hooves crisped, and the coachmen drove the carriage leisurely towards Jiaofu in the city.
As for why if you want to know Miss Chu's whereabouts, you have to go find that idiot from the Jiaofu family?
The groom didn't ask, and he didn't even want to ask.
Having been a groom for more than ten years, he knows very well that there are some things that he should know, and he must know them, and he should pretend not to know things that he should not know even if he knows them!
Speaking of which, it seems that it doesn't matter at any time.
For example, groomsmen and disciples are generally only the confidants of the master's family.
For example, Xiao Han's groom was usually served by Lengzi or Xiaodong. Even in later generations, the groom was replaced by a driver, and this rule was not changed.
Therefore, whenever you see these two types of people, do not look down upon them because their jobs are lowly, otherwise, you might fall into the hands of these two types of people at any time.
————————
The courtyard of Qin Mansion is actually not too far from Jiao Mansion. When the carriage arrived in front of Jiao Mansion, the coachman discovered that there were actually people gathered here in twos and threes, pointing at Jiao Mansion one by one.
This is a bit strange!
Because existences like the Eight Lingnan Prefectures, even though they are not official yamen of the imperial court, are often revered by the world because of their special status! Not to mention that among the eight Lingnan mansions, Jiaofu has always been known for its brutality!
Normally, when people in the city pass a place like this, they all rush by with their heads lowered, not even daring to take a second look. How could they be like today, stretching their necks and pointing at the door?
Moreover, with the stable eyes of the groom, he could clearly see that there were some faint blood stains solidified on the steps in front of the house. There were dried water stains around the blood stains, as if they had been washed in a hurry but not completely. Generally clean.
What on earth happened to warrant a fight at the door of the house, and blood was shed? Afterwards, even the cleaning was done in such a hurry?
"Uncle Gong, what's going on?"
Even Xun'er on the carriage noticed the strangeness at the door of Jiao Mansion. He couldn't help but lift the curtain and looked at the idle people strangely and asked.
"Miss, wait a moment, I'll go ask!"
Upon hearing this, the groom, who was called Uncle Gong, took a cautious look around and found no danger. Then he whispered an explanation to Xun'er behind him, then jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the nearest people.
"Brothers, you are so polite! I don't know what's going on here..." From far away, the groom smiled and offered his hands to the people gathered together.
The few people gathered together were a little wary when they saw the luxuriously decorated carriage stopping. However, when they saw the girl in the carriage and the smiling coachman, most of their wariness disappeared.
"After all, he is just another spectator!" these people thought in their hearts. After all, today, I encounter more than one such person!
While Xun'er waited anxiously, the groom chatted with those people for a while, and then came back. However, the face that was still smiling just now became extremely weird now.
"What's wrong? What happened here?" Seeing the groom come back, Xun'er asked impatiently.
"This..." When the groom heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said: "Miss, I just heard these people say that Jiaofu has been sealed up by Mr. Xiao Hou from Chang'an, and the two are still fighting for this. There was a conflict, and now even that stupid...ahem, Young Master Lin has been imprisoned and has never been released."
"Huh? That bastard actually caught an idiot? What...what's going on?"
Xun'er's eyes widened when he heard the groom's reward! She never imagined that these two unrelated guys would get together and even conflict with each other after she had only been home for a few days!
"Is it possible that it's because of Sister Chu?" After being stunned for a while, Xun'er suddenly remembered what Ning Lifang had just said, and immediately felt a move in her heart. She felt more and more that her guess was correct!
"It must be that idiot who wanted to get Sister Chu, so after hearing that the idiot was engaged to Sister Chu, he got angry and sent people to arrest the idiot. Maybe! Sister Chu was also captured by him at this time!"
I have to say that Xun'er's thinking is definitely extremely active! In just one sentence, the matter was miraculously attributed to the jealousy of two people, and even a wedding-robbing thing, something that is popular in dramas, was also arranged!
"No, I have to find him!"
Having made up his mind, Xun'er no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the groom anxiously: "Uncle Gong! Quickly, take me to find that traitor!"
"Decedent? Who?"
"Oh! It's that Mr. Xiao Hou from Chang'an!"
"Oh oh oh, okay, let's go now!"
So, under Xun'er's urging, the groom drove the horse again and walked towards the city.
As for where Xiao Han lives? There’s no need to worry about this, there’s just a mouth right under the nose, just ask. The groom doesn’t believe that someone who caused such a big trouble, how can anyone know where he lives!
