The head of the Xiao family put his head on his hands and said, "Still, haven't you found it?"
The servant nodded.
The head of the Xiao family waved his hand, "Go down."
The servant breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the patriarch would continue to lose his temper and scold him.
After Servant A retreated, Servant B, who was hiding outside the door, asked, "How is it? Is the patriarch's condition okay now?"
Servant A said: "It can't be good, but it can't be said to be bad either. In short, it is like that."
Servant B said: "Oh~, it has been almost seven or eight years since I joined the Xiao family. In my impression, the patriarch's temper can be considered very good. I am still the first to lose his temper like yesterday. See you next time."
Servant A said: "It's strange that you are not worried because your daughter has disappeared for no apparent reason. Think about it, your daughter has disappeared for no apparent reason and her life or death is uncertain. How can you not be anxious?"
Servant C took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Why are you so worried when your daughter is missing? You have only worked here for ten years without having a kid. What do you know?"
Servant A said: "Please elaborate."
Servant C blew out a smoke ring and said, "Do you know who the eldest lady's mother is?"
They both shook their heads
"Let me tell you that the late mother of the eldest lady was the former Colonel Zi Mingyan who guarded the pass. Colonel Zi."
Servant B said disdainfully: "Tsk, I thought he was a general, but he turned out to be a colonel, neither high nor low."
Servant C said even more disdainfully: "Don't look down on Colonel Zi. Throughout the ages, there have been several women who have been able to enter the battlefield and kill the enemy. Even if they are promoted, there are only a few who can be promoted normally. If you say it, they will probably die on the battlefield." The fastest one."
Servant B was angry: "You!"
Servant A hurriedly came out to act as peacemaker. "Calm down, you two. I want to hear the follow-up. The eldest lady's mother is Colonel Zi. What next?"
Servant B cleared his throat and said: "Back then, the Xiao family made investment mistakes, the younger generations failed, and peers ruined their fortunes... Nothing went as planned. The position of patriarch fell to the current patriarch. In order to alleviate the situation, the patriarch and the businessman Marriage to Colonel Zi who is a female and has certain influence on the battlefield."
Servant A said: "I don't think there is anything wrong with entering into a marriage to alleviate difficulties."
Servant C said: "There is nothing wrong? Then there is something very wrong. Can you tell me why Colonel Zi, the daughter of a businessman, got married? She wanted money, money, power, and she would fall in love with Xiao, who was half-dead at the time. Home? It’s impossible.”
Servant B asked, "Tell me what's going on. Don't be too pretentious."
Servant C said in a low voice: "It was because the patriarch had a hard time with Colonel Zi at a party and forced it to happen. What a coincidence, as soon as he entered the soul, the eldest daughter was born, so we had no choice but to get married."
The two of them took a deep breath, not expecting that the patriarch had such a dark history.
Servant A said: "By the way, didn't you say that Colonel Zi is the daughter of a businessman? Why haven't I heard of a businessman named Zi?"
Servant B took a puff from his cigarette and said, "Colonel Zi takes his mother's surname. Does Fuxi Chamber of Commerce know that its founder is Colonel Zi's brother? Their father is a well-known businessman in the capital."
"Through the relationship between the in-laws, the clan leader continues to inject his power into the Fuxi Chamber of Commerce, and also places his own people in the barracks. It can be said that if it were not for Colonel Zi and the others, the Xiao family would not know what would happen now."
Servant C continued: "It stands to reason that Colonel Zi has a very strong opinion of the clan leader, even to the point of disgust, but do you know why the relationship is constantly being cut off?"
The two of them instantly thought of going together to "Miss!"
"That's right, if it weren't for the button of the eldest lady, this relationship would be impossible to connect. Now do you know why the patriarch is so anxious to find the eldest lady?"
“I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it”
"indeed"
"Really?" the person behind asked
The three of them saw that it was Xiao Hui, the clan leader's subordinate. The three of them quickly said: "Nothing, nothing, just a casual chat."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes"
Xiao Hui said: "Still chatting here, have you found the eldest lady? I think you are feeling itchy. Do you want to go to the Law Enforcement Hall to scratch it?"
"We'll go right away, go right away!"
The three people immediately dispersed in three directions
Xiao Hui was not prepared to continue to care about them and walked into the lobby.
Xiao Hui walked up behind the patriarch and said: "Patriarch"
The patriarch asked: "Is there any news?"
Xiao Hui shook his head: "Not yet. Xue Yue's people have also been sent to look for him. We don't know the specific situation yet."
The patriarch rubbed his face with his hands to wake himself up, "There is no news yet."
Xiao Hui said: "Clan leader, you haven't slept a wink all night. Let's take a rest first. Your body is your capital."
The clan leader sighed: "Xiao Lin hasn't been found yet. How can I sleep? I don't care about this now. The city lord has been watching us recently. Each thing is getting more difficult."
The patriarch looked at the wall outside the door and sighed: "Xiao Hui, do you think it's possible that she didn't like it here and ran away from home?"
Xiao Hui didn't say anything, and the clan leader didn't say anything either.

Ah Feng got up, tidied himself up, put some food behind his stomach, left a few cakes on the table for Xiao Lin for breakfast, and went out.
Yi Zifeng was walking on the road and began to recall what happened yesterday.
The enemy he met last night, why did he enter the house at all costs? Was he looking for Xiao Lin? Will he be with Xiao Lin? If yes, you have to think about what organization or relationship it is; if not, you have to think about why you are looking for her.
It also remains to be seen whether her innocent appearance is real, and why she pretends to be a madman?
I wonder if Shopkeeper Wang can give me some information, that should be fine. Ah Fengguang could imagine how shopkeeper Wang would chase him away later.
It seems that today I have to go to the Xiao family area to get some information.
"!" Ah Feng saw Xia Lingxue in front of him
There is no need to say hello or anything, after all, we are not familiar with each other. Ah Feng was going to pretend he didn't see him and just pass by.
When Ah Feng was a few meters behind Xia Lingxue, he noticed that Xia Lingxue's steps were swollen, and her legs and feet were obviously inconvenient.
Ah Feng asked: "Don't your feet hurt?"
Xia Lingxue was wondering who was talking to her. She turned around and saw Ah Feng and said, "It doesn't matter."
Ah Feng said: "It's better to take a rest. If you are busy with something and need to continue walking, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Ah Feng didn't say it was okay, but when he did, Xia Lingxue's feet began to hurt.
"Have you had breakfast? The sour broth there is good, do you want to eat it too?" Ah Feng asked
Xia Lingxue pursed her lips and said, "Yeah, okay."
"Boss, you two."
"Okay, just wait a moment, I'll be here soon."
As soon as Xia Lingxue sat down, the pain in her feet rushed straight to her brain. The pain was so painful that she didn't even want to touch her feet to the ground, she just wanted to lie down.
Xia Lingxue thought Ah Feng would ask why she walked outside with sore feet, but Ah Feng was just wiping the chopsticks repeatedly with a cloth.
"Nuo" Ah Feng handed Xia Lingxue the chopsticks he wiped.
"Thank you" Xia Lingxue took the chopsticks
Xia Lingxue asked: "Yi Zifeng, don't you ask me why my feet hurt?"
After saying that, Ah Feng smiled and said: "Why should I ask you the reason? Besides, will you tell me if I ask?"
I don't know why Xia Lingxue always feels unhappy, like something is blocked.
Xia Lingxue asked: "Yi Zifeng, why do you think I won't say it?"
Ah Feng said: "Why do you think I think you will say..."
"Stop, are matryoshka dolls fun?" Xia Lingxue said, "You..."
"Sir, you ordered two bowls of sour broth." The waiter brought up two bowls of broth and a plate of flatbread.
Xia Lingxue looked at a bowl of broth and a plate of cakes and wondered how to eat them. Seeing A Feng eating soup and cakes in one mouthful, Xia Lingxue wondered what the meaning of chopsticks was.
Xia Lingxue imitated Ah Feng's eating method. Because she drank the soup too quickly, it was all bottomed out within a few mouthfuls, and there were still a few pieces of meat at the bottom of the bowl. Xia Lingxue thought to herself, is the meaning of chopsticks just to pick up the meat and eat it?
By the time the pieces of meat could be seen at the bottom of Ah Feng's bowl, Xia Lingxue had already finished eating.
Ah Feng was shocked, "I'll go, Miss Xia, why are you eating so fast?"
Xia Lingxue asked in confusion: "Otherwise, am I eating it the wrong way?"
Ah Feng hesitated for a few seconds, "I can't say that your way of eating is wrong, but it's not entirely right. Just do what you like."
“What about eating properly?”
Ah Feng said: "I'll demonstrate it to you next time."
"Does your foot still hurt?" Ah Feng asked
Xia Lingxue said: "That's it, it won't affect it."
Ah Feng said: "You don't want me to ask you, "What happened to your feet?" "What? What's going on?"
Xia Lingxue said: "It's okay, I just went out for a walk at night alone in a bad mood, and I walked like this."
Ah Feng grimaced. Didn't you just pretend you didn't say it?
"By the way, Miss Xia..."
"Just call me by my name," Xia Lingxue said
"By the way, Xia Lingxue, you encountered something unpleasant at the banquet yesterday."
Xia Lingxue was wondering how Yi Zifeng knew about the banquet when she had never mentioned it. When she looked at it, she found that she was still wearing the dress from last night, and she felt ashamed for a moment.
When I thought about it, I had been wearing a dress and talking to Yi Zifeng. Xia Lingxue wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"Xia Lingxue, are you planning to wear this dress for the Old Moon Festival?"
How could it be possible? Dresses are usually worn in meaningful places. Who would wear them in daily life?
Seeing Xia Lingxue's embarrassing scene now, Ah Feng smiled
Xia Lingxue said: "How about it, it's funny, isn't it?"
"No, no, no, I'm comparing you with your old self. If you had looked like this before, I think we would all laugh to death."
"Is it weird that I look like this?"
“It’s weird but it’s nice, it makes you feel like you’re not the same person anymore.”
"No longer...the me before"
"I heard that there will be fireworks on the night of the Old Moon Festival. Are you interested, Xia Lingxue?"
"I..." Xia Lingxue shook her head, "Let's forget it. I have to practice sword skills that night and I don't have time."
"All right"
"Go back first," Xia Lingxue said
"Are your feet okay?"
"It won't affect me." As soon as Xia Lingxue said that, her feet went soft and slipped.
On the other side, Xiaobai, who was slowly returning home, kept thinking about the sentence "it is better to face it than to escape"
How did you think of this sentence at that time? Xiaobai himself didn’t even know.
Xiaobai saw Ah Feng in front and prepared to go directly.
"Ah..."
"It won't affect me." As soon as Xia Lingxue said that, her feet went soft and slipped.
Ah Feng immediately held Xia Lingxue's hand to prevent her from falling.
"Wow!" "Awesome!" People around them applauded when they saw Ah Feng holding Xia Lingxue in a heroic gesture of saving the beauty.
"!"
Xiaobai felt uncomfortable watching A Feng holding Xia Lingxue's hand.
Xiaobai checked himself and found that there was nothing wrong with his heart, but he just didn't understand what was going on at that moment.

Chen Sisi wandered anxiously in front of the door. Ling'er and Tian Xiaofan kept coming in and out. Every time they came out, they wore a lot of red bandages, which made Chen Sisi feel even more uncomfortable.
I don’t know what Sisi went through last night. She was half dead and scarred when she was found.
"It's okay. Don't worry, Sister Yao has very good medical skills. Everything will be fine." Granny Tan patted Chen Sisi's junior.
This is Granny Tan, a patient invited by Tian Xiaofan for the festival. Behind her is her twelve-year-old grandson Qin Gang. However, his arm was dislocated last night due to playful activities, and it is still hanging. Qin Gang taught Granny Tan a lesson last night. of.
Tian Xiaofan gasped and opened the door. Chen Sisi immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is Xiaofan Sisi?"
Tian Xiaofan smiled and raised his thumb, then fell to the ground and fell asleep from exhaustion.
Not only Tian Xiaofan, but also Linger and Yao Po were lying on the other bed and fell asleep.
Chen Sisi walked over to Chen Sisi, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling. Chen Sisi fell asleep quietly, but Chen Sisi's tears fell in vain.
"What have you been through, Sisi? If you tell your sister, she will definitely help you get revenge."
Chen Sisi slept so hard that she couldn't hear what Chen Sisi said.
