The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 286 The Missing Old 7 and Old 8

"What? There's an assassin?" The old lady, who was originally leaning on her side, suddenly sat up straight. As expected, she shifted her attention and looked Shi Yao up and down, and asked nervously, "Have you been affected? Where's your elder sister? Is Zhuzhu injured?"

Shi Yao smiled and said, "My elder sister and I were not injured, we were just a little frightened..."

She recounted the "assassination" in detail, and was so shocked that the lady was so frightened that she forgot all about Jiang Miao. She repeatedly ordered the maids to bring a brazier to get rid of the bad luck for Shi Yao, and asked the doctor to prescribe a calming soup for Shi Yao.

Shi Yao did as she was told.

A large group of maids and servants surrounded her.

The lady had forgotten Tang Zhan, but Shi Yao had not, so she let Tang Zhan step over the fire basin to get rid of the bad luck.

Tang Zhan had never seen such a scene before. Although he found it hard to believe such supernatural things, he felt touched and the look he cast towards Shi Yao became more gentle.

The lady was an experienced person, so she could see the trick between the two. She secretly sighed that the boy was treacherous. She took the opportunity to catch the assassin to show her skills, acting like a hero saving a beauty, and won the heart of her beloved granddaughter.

Jiang Miao was a kid who was too well-behaved, and that's why Shi Yao turned him away.

Shi Yao had no idea what the lady was thinking, otherwise she would have cried out that she was wronged.

There is no such thing as romance, it's just succumbing to reality.

She has no romantic feelings at all, and if she does, they are sealed with cement.

In the feudal era, the risk of falling in love was too high.

Men regard cheating as a way to show off, and having beautiful women is the fastest and most direct way to show off their abilities, wealth and power in some aspect.

Life will be easier if you have the attitude to live your life, otherwise you will be hard on yourself.

Shi Yao was well prepared to meet future challenges.

After all the commotion, Ganlu Hall was bustling for a while. The old lady was about to send someone to the front yard to inquire about the situation and find out how the assassination case was resolved, when a maid ran in in panic and whispered in her ear:

"Madam, something terrible has happened. Master Qi and Master Ba are missing!"

As soon as Shi Yao saw the old woman's face, she knew that there was big news, bad news. She hurried over to the lady's ear and listened, with a look of surprise on her face.

Shi Mingchen and Shi Minghui are missing?

What do you mean?

Why did they disappear... Was it because of Ge Qiuheng?

The lady looked annoyed and gently pushed Shi Yao away: "Go away, what are you listening to, little kid? Send Master Xiao Tang to the front yard."

Shi Yao nodded and took Tang Zhan away, who was also listening to the gossip.

Tang Zhan asked, "Are your two brothers okay?"

Shi Yao was startled and asked, "Did you hear it?"

"I have good hearing." Tang Zhan raised his head slightly, secretly proud.

Shi Yao was speechless. Could this hearing ability be the reincarnation of the Thousand-Li Ear?

She coughed lightly and covered it up by saying, "Seventh and Eighth Brothers are the youngest among the brothers, and are more mischievous than the others. They are probably bored at home, so they went out to play. Don't worry too much."

Ganlu Hall was close to the second gate, so they arrived there soon. Tang Zhan was a little reluctant to leave, so he stopped and turned around and said in a nonchalant tone, "Second Sister Shi, you treat me to dinner today, and I'll treat you next time."

Shi Yao's eyes curved and she agreed generously: "Okay."

"Well, then we'll see you tomorrow when we pay our respects."

Shi Yao pushed him and said angrily, "Go quickly, the maids at the door are watching us."

The girl's push and anger made Tang Zhan's soul fly away. His eyes were filled with sparkling joy. He nodded repeatedly and backed away: "I, I'm leaving!"

Shi Yao was speechless. She waved at him, turned around and went back to Ganlu Hall - she planned to have dinner at Ganlu Hall to give Muxiang some space to connect with her little sister.

The moment she turned around, Tang Zhan jumped three feet high, climbed up a three-meter-high tree, and swung on the branch like a swing for a dozen times. When the servants were scared out of their wits and swarmed around him, ready to pick him up, he swung to the ground and happily ran back to the yard to practice shooting.

As night falls, the lights are on.

Shi Yao had dinner with the lady dowager, left the snacks she brought back from outside, and led Muxiang and other maids and servants back to Guanju Courtyard.

The lady was so upset that she couldn't eat dinner. For the sake of her granddaughter, she reluctantly ate about ten mouthfuls. When Shi Yao left, her face suddenly darkened and she asked angrily, "Where are those two little brats? Haven't you found them yet?"

The maids were silent.

Aunt Tang said with a sad face, "I don't know where he ran off to. I guess he went after Miss Ge. We searched along the way, but no news has come back yet."

The lady was so angry that she was gasping for breath: "These two ignorant people! Don't you see what the situation is like in the mansion now? Except for Yao girl, who dares to leave the mansion at will? The Ge family girl wants to go three thousand miles away, is that a place they can go? Have they forgotten who they are? How can they leave the capital at will!"

The second master is leading troops outside, and only the second wife is with him all year round. His two sons and parents stay in the capital. Why?

The purpose is to stay in the capital as a hostage and reassure the emperor!

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is now notorious, and one of its granddaughters was married to the prince as a concubine by despicable means. The Shi family is already showing signs of being involved in the struggle for imperial power. How did Shi Mingchen and Shi Minghui dare to sneak out of the capital?

Where do they put the Shi family?

At this time, the old Duke walked in from outside.

The lady stood up and asked, "Old man, is there any news about the two brothers?"

The old Duke sighed and said, "We are still looking. We have some clues."

"Where did they go?"

The old Duke sneered, "He went after the daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan. That bastard Xiaoba ignored the girl when she was chasing him. Now that she doesn't want him anymore, he's trying to get close to her again. What kind of bastard is that?"

The lady sat down slowly and covered her face.

The old Duke signaled the maids to leave, patted her back gently and said soothingly: "We will definitely catch them back tonight."

"They looked fine before, full of flowers and splendor, and I devoted all my energy to the two girls. Who knew that they were just rotten rags on the inside, all good looking but useless!" The old lady choked up and said, "Old man, do you think our family has offended Tai Sui?

How come they all changed after growing up? Why doesn't Minghui care about his family at all? Doesn't he know that his father is having a hard time in the court and can't stand any more storms? "

If something happens to the Shi family again, the next person to reflect on his mistakes will be Duke Zhenguo Shi Jimian.

By then, not only would the Shi family become a big joke, but the eldest and third masters might also be dismissed or demoted. Once they leave the court, who would support the second master at the border?

Seeing her tear-stained face, the old Duke said distressedly, "The children have grown up, their wings are strong, and they want to fly out. The Duke's Mansion, the capital, is too small to keep them."

Shi Yao was annoyed today because Shi Mingzhu stabbed her, so she betrayed her loyal dog, the Fifth Prince. When she returned home in the evening, she heard the news that the Seventh and Eighth Princes had "escaped", and she also solved the problem of Jiang Miao by the way. She was in a good mood and fell into a sound sleep.

At four o'clock in the morning, she heard some noisy noises and turned over to continue sleeping.

I woke up at five o'clock in the morning, stretched my body, opened the curtain and asked in a daze: "Have I found my seventh brother and eighth brother?"
