Beijing, Guo Mansion.
It is said that since Xiao Guo secretly took Xiao Qing out to explore the world, this family has lost a bit of the excitement in the past.
Mrs. Guo looks out the window worriedly every day. Everyone knows what she is worried about.
Guo Juxia happened to be relaxing at home today. Seeing his wife like this, he also expressed concern and comfort:
"Madam, don't worry. Fu'er has grown up and will take good care of herself. Besides, Xiaoqing is also with us. Don't worry too much."
After hearing Guo Juxia's consolation, Mrs. Guo sighed lightly and said worriedly:
"Well, people say that mothers who travel thousands of miles here are worried. I am a daughter like Fu'er, so how can I not worry about it. In addition, Fu'er and Qing'er have no experience in the world, so they are left to wander the world alone. , how can I let go of this?"
Seeing that his usually smart and wise wife had become like this, Guo Juxia also felt a little weird, but he still stood up and said comforted.
"Alright madam, please stop thinking nonsense. Were we not even younger than Fu'er and the others when we were wandering around in the world? We'll be fine now. Don't worry too much. Children always have to grow up?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Guo shook her head even more worriedly.
"How could I not know this? But it is precisely because we have been through the rivers and lakes that I know how dangerous the rivers and lakes are. The martial arts is secondary. The key is the human heart. Fu'er and the others are too simple. "
After some comfort, Guo Juxia saw that the more he persuaded him, the more worried he became, and he couldn't help but feel a little troublesome in his heart. This was much more difficult than his usual case handling and catching thieves.
Guo Juxia, who was a little at a loss, saw his wife's worried look, so he had to persuade him first:
"Come on, ma'am, you're tired after standing all day. You'd better sit down and rest for a while."
With that said, Guo Juxia hugged Mrs. Guo and wanted her to sit down and rest.
But Mrs. Guo broke away from Guo Juxia's hand and said to him with some complaints:
"Oh, you said you were too. Fu'er and the others have been away from home for more than half a year, and you don't care about them."
When Guo Juxia heard this, he cried out that he was wronged, but his wife did not listen to his explanation.
"You are the acting head of the six dignified sects. Fu'er ran away from home. It's okay if you don't send someone to protect her. There is no news at all. I think you, the father, have neglected your duty."
Mrs. Guo's words directly hit Guo Juxia's vital point. Guo Juxia was speechless and couldn't help but look a little ugly.
Seeing Guo Juxia like this, Mrs. Guo also knew his difficulty, so she quickly turned to comfort him in a gentle voice.
"Okay, what I just said was out of anger. I know that the court has been in turmoil recently and the world is not at peace. You six gates can't find the right people. You have worked hard in the past six months."
Hearing his wife's consideration, Guo Juxia felt warm in his heart. He smiled and was about to say something.
but. . .
"Madam, sir, good news! There's a letter from the lady!" The housekeeper hurried in.
"Um!"
When Mrs. Guo heard this, before anyone could react, she came to the door like a breeze and snatched the letter from the butler's hand.
The housekeeper felt a breeze blowing in front of his eyes, and then the letter in his hand disappeared, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Guo Juxia, on the other hand, looked at his wife who had already received the letter.
"This, this is really Fu'er's letter!" Looking at Xiao Guo's handwriting on the envelope, Mrs. Guo said in surprise, and then she hurriedly opened the envelope and read it.
But at this moment, a maid quickly ran in to report. "Madam, sir, Sister Xiaoqing is back."
"What!" Mrs. Guo cried out in shock. This is really a good thing that comes in pairs. In the past, there was no news, but now there are two. She didn't care about reading the letter and ran out quickly.
Guo Juxia and others also quickly followed.
. . .
It is said that after Xiaoqing left Tongfu Inn, he had to travel through mountains and rivers, eating and sleeping in the open air along the way. In the end, he went through many difficulties and dangers. After walking for more than a month, he finally returned to the capital.
"Qinger!"
Xiaoqing had just sat down and took a sip of water when she heard a familiar shout and she quickly got up.
"Madam!" Looking at the person who appeared at the door, Xiao Qing quickly saluted excitedly.
But before she could clasp her hand, Mrs. Guo held it tightly.
Mrs. Guo looked at Xiao Qing's dirty face and said with some distress:
"You must have suffered a lot in the past six months. Look at your dark face and you have lost a lot of weight."
Listening to Madam's gentle and caring words, Xiaoqing's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
In the past month, she had been short of money and was really tired from walking. If it weren't for her strong martial arts skills, she might have been sold out long ago.
In this month, she really felt what it means to be dangerous and unpredictable.
Xiaoqing held back tears and said:
"Madam, I'm fine. I've made Madam worried. By the way, Madam, Miss..."
"Fu'er? What's wrong with Fu'er? Why didn't you see her come back with you?" After hearing this, Mrs. Guo also found that only Xiao Qing was not Xiao Guo, and she asked anxiously.
Upon seeing this, Xiaoqing quickly told Mrs. Guo what happened at Tongfu Inn.
At this time, Guo Juxia and the others also arrived.
After hearing Xiaoqing's story, they felt relieved.
. . . . . .
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Mrs. Guo also said:
"Xiao Qing, as you said, the people at Tongfu Inn are good people. Not only did they not blame you for smashing their shop, they also helped you deal with the aftermath."
"Yes ma'am!" Xiao Qing also recalled shopkeeper Tong's help to them, and of course a certain hateful figure under the moon.
"It seems that Fuli is safe in Tongfu Inn. Madam, you can rest assured now." Guo Juxia also expressed relief at the right time. He was the second oldest child at home.
"Yes!" Mrs. Guo also nodded.
"By the way, madam, don't you still have a letter from Fu'er?" Guo Juxia reminded him at the right time.
Hearing this, Mrs. Guo remembered the letter. She quickly took out the letter and read it carefully.
However, there were two copies of this letter. Mrs. Guo gave the other letter involving official business to Guo Juxia.
After Guo Juxia took it and read it, he couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on his face, and he asked Xiao Qing.
"The name of the agent you just mentioned who helped you is Yan Xiaoliu?"
"Yes!" Although Xiaoqing didn't know where Guo Juxia got the name Yan Xiaoliu, she still answered truthfully.
At the same time, she secretly murmured in her heart, 'Could it be that the lady mentioned it in the letter, but why did the lady mention him? Is it possible, right? '
Xiao Qing was curious to read the content of the letter, but Guo Juxia covered the letter so that she could not read it at all.
