Gu Chengxuan winked at the maid, and the maid immediately said, "The young master is behind me and will be here in a minute. Please wait a moment, okay?"
"knew."
Xie Yao's voice was filled with impatience.
At this time, Qian Qian's crying voice sounded again, "Is he really here? I've been looking for a long time but couldn't find it..."
"If I say he is here, he will definitely be there." Xie Yao said firmly.
The maid closed the courtyard door, and Gu Chengxuan immediately gestured towards her to tell her not to speak.
Gu Chengxuan stayed at the door for a while, calculating that the time was almost up, and then limped open the door.
As soon as he saw the person, he immediately said in surprise, "Qianqian, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time, where have you gone?"
Qianqian curled her lips and said with an aggrieved look, "You haven't come back for a long time, so I went to look for you, but I couldn't find you after searching for a long time."
Qian Qian's hair was messy, her fair face was stained with dust, and her clothes were even more black and white.
She pulled Xie Yao's sleeve tightly, looking pitiful.
Xie Yao is taller than Gu Chengxuan, and Qian Qian looks like a little dumpling standing next to him.
Xie Yao looked at Gu Chengxuan with a straight face and said, "I'll leave first after the people are delivered."
At such a young age, he looked as calm as an adult. He was wearing a dark blue gown and a round jade pendant hanging from his waist. He was very popular, and there was no trace of his naughtiness in riding Gu Chengxuan like a horse.
"Thank you for your trouble, sir."
Gu Chengxuan thanked him with a dignified attitude. Before he could wait for Xie Yao's reply, Qian Qian grabbed Xie Yao's sleeve again, "Brother, are you leaving now? Help me find the young master. Qian Qian hasn't thanked you yet. Woolen cloth!"
Qian Qian raised her head slightly, her voice was soft and waxy, and her reddish nose looked particularly cute.
Thinking of the miserable look of the little girl crying just now, Xie Yao couldn't help but pity her. He pinched her fleshy little cheeks and said, "It's all a matter of effort. You don't need to thank me, but don't get lost next time." Yes, you are so cute, you will be picked up."
Hearing this, Qian Qian said "Ah", "No one hugs Qian Qian. They are so kind to Qian Qian and even show Qian Qian the way."
So innocent, so cute.
She is much cuter than his sister at home, who looks ugly when she cries and is not soft and cute at all.
"Brother, can I still look for you next time I get lost?"
Qianqian shook his sleeves and stared at him unblinkingly with her big wet eyes, making it impossible to refuse her request.
Xie Yao touched Qian Qian's head and said, "Of course you can, but go back today and come and play with me next time."
Qianqian narrowed her eyes happily.
Xie Yao straightened up, looked at Gu Chengxuan again, and said in a calm tone, "Young Master Gu, please don't lose someone again next time."
Somehow, Gu Chengxuan always felt that there was a hint of warning in Xie Yao's eyes.
Gu Chengxuan did not refute, "Today was an accident, and it won't happen again in the future."
Hearing this, Xie Yao's face looked better, and then he said to Qian Qian, "Next time you want to come see big brother, don't sneak out. You can take a carriage to Tongluo Alley, do you understand?"
Qian Qian nodded heavily, "Okay, Qian Qian understands."
When Gu Chengxuan heard this, alarm bells rang in his heart. Once Qian Qian came to look for him openly, wouldn't his mother's affairs be completely exposed?
Xie Yao left, Qian Qian waved goodbye to him eagerly, but when she turned around, she saw Gu Chengxuan staring at her.
Qian Qian curled her lips and was about to cry again. Gu Chengxuan quickly coaxed her, "Qian Qian, I didn't do it on purpose today. I was injured and my legs hurt badly, so I came to my relatives to have a rest. I can't find you. I still can't find you." We’ve sent people out to look for it.”
Qian Qian asked with tears in her eyes, "Then...does your leg still hurt?"
Gu Chengxuan shook his head, "It doesn't hurt so much anymore."
"I've been out for a long time. My godmother will definitely be anxious if she can't find me. If the master knows that I went out secretly, he will definitely blame me."
Qian Qian started crying as she spoke. Although Gu Chengxuan thought she was cute, he was thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to throw her outside the city. No one would know anyway.
"Then I'll take you back right now, don't cry." Gu Chengxuan took the initiative to hold Qian Qian's hand.
When she heard that she was going back, Qian Qian was happy at first, then looked at Gu Chengxuan eagerly and said, "Young Master, can you walk now?"
Gu Chengxuan nodded, and before he could speak, Qian Qian said again, "You don't have to look for me like this next time. Even if you lose me, I have a special way to find you. I'll tell you first, so that you won't take the wrong path. ”
Hearing this, Gu Chengxuan was shocked and subconsciously asked, "What special method?"
With a faint smile, "My nose is really good, and I also carry the fragrant powder my master gave me. As long as I put a little bit on it, I can find it no matter how far away it is."
Gu Chengxuan asked, "Is it okay outside the city?"
Qian Qian nodded, "Yes, it's not far from the Taoist temple outside the city. I can find it back."
Gu Chengxuan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that throwing him outside the city wouldn't work.
If he loses her and finds her again, his true colors will be exposed.
Forget it, let's keep her for now because she is easy to deceive, and she should be treated as the spy who stays with Yu Jinxi.
Gu Chengxuan took Qian Qian back home, and they walked through the dog cave. Qian Qian was worried all the way, for fear of being discovered, but when Gu Chengxuan accompanied her back, she found that Yu Jinxi was not in the yard.
"Mother Zhang, where has your godmother gone?"
"Miss is out."
Zhang's mother looked at Qianqian and asked, "Where have you been? I haven't seen anyone for so long, and the lady even said she would take you out."
"ah?"
Qian Qian had a disappointed look on her face, "I just went to play in the yard, accidentally fell asleep and forgot about the time."
Zhang's mother glanced at Gu Chengxuan and murmured with an unkind expression, "Can I fall asleep now? Are you hungry? Can I get you something to eat?"
Qian Qian shook his head, "I won't eat, I want to go back and take a shower."
Seeing that she was dirty, Zhang's mother quickly went to get her hot water.
"I'm leaving first." Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Gu Chengxuan said to Qian Qian with a cold face and left.
She smiled lightly and waved to him, as if she didn't notice that he was unhappy.
Gu Chengxuan curled his lips and walked away.
Seeing the person walking out of the yard, the smile on Qian Qian's face disappeared instantly. She turned around and walked towards the back. When she saw Zhang's mother, she asked sweetly, "Grandma Zhang, where is Madam?"
Zhang's mother said truthfully, "Madam went out to attend Miss Zuo's appointment. She asked her when she left. If you come back, you should rest first and talk about it in the evening if you have anything to do."
After a slight sigh, Zhang's mother said, "The water is ready, let's wash it first. Your body is too dirty. You can rest after washing it."
Qian Qian responded again, thinking about what happened today, she clenched her fists tightly.
