Jiao Luan

Chapter 280

Tomorrow is the day to travel with Shengjia, there are many people going to Huairenbo Mansion this time, and they have been busy packing their luggage since early in the morning.

The Second Master Cheng sat down in person, lest Mrs. Han carelessly leave anything necessary, Cheng Tong even opened all the boxes, cages and makeup boxes, and carefully selected the clothes and jewelry to take, even Cheng Xi, who was studying behind closed doors all day, was caught. The second master Cheng called out and carefully told him what he should pay attention to, but Cheng Che was the only one who disappeared.

"Where's Che'er?" Second Master Cheng asked Han.

"Che'er went out to meet friends early in the morning, but she hasn't come back yet."

Master Cheng Er's face darkened: "He is the champion of the new department. This time he was called out to accompany him on a trip. The Holy One will definitely summon him. He didn't care at all. He hasn't come back at this hour!"

Mrs. Han explained for Cheng Che: "Che'er has always acted properly. He must have made preparations before going out."

The Second Master Cheng didn't say much anymore because Cheng Che is not what he used to be.

At this time, a servant hurried over: "Master, madam, the fifth princess is here."

Master Cheng Er and Han Shi looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Come in quickly."

The two got up to greet each other, and they were startled when they saw the appearance of the fifth princess.

"I've seen the fifth princess—"

The fifth princess grabbed Han Shi's hand: "Cheng Wei... fell..."

Mrs. Han was in a fog.

The maid next to the fifth princess hurriedly explained: "Today our princess and third girl Cheng rode horses into the mountains to play, and met a young child hanging from an old tree on the edge of the cliff, and the third girl fell off the cliff in order to save the child— —”

Han suddenly took a few steps back, his face pale as paper: "This, this is impossible——"

The fifth princess stared blankly at the hand thrown away by Han Shi, without saying a word.

After the initial shock, Master Cheng Er couldn't tell from his face, he took a step forward and comforted him: "Don't worry, Fifth Princess, please ask some guards to lead the way, we will send someone to the place where Wei'er fell off the cliff." Look for it."

"Okay, let's go together." The fifth princess said slowly.

She seldom spoke in front of so many people, but she couldn't care less because of Cheng Wei.

Master Cheng Er gave a deep bow: "Princess Jinzhiyuye, I still don't want to go. Besides, you are going back to the palace late, it will be bad if you disturb the emperor, queen mother and imperial concubine. You can go back to the palace in peace, we will find Wei'er You will be notified of your whereabouts."

"Don't tell Father?" The fifth princess asked in a daze.

Master Cheng Er said solemnly: "Of course I can't. The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, and he has to go out tomorrow morning. How can he worry about a little thing about his courtier. If the princess is for the sake of my courtier's daughter, don't let everyone know about it. .”

"En." Moved by the persuasion, the fifth princess pointed to the two guards and said, "Stay here and go find Cheng Wei."

Leaving from Huairenbo's mansion, the fifth princess did not go back to the palace directly, but went straight to the mansion of Princess Dezhao.

My aunt has hundreds of guards, so I can't let my father know, so I can always ask my aunt for help.

After the fifth princess left, Mrs. Han stared fixedly at the second master Cheng, which made the second master Cheng feel uncomfortable, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Is the master going out tomorrow morning?"

"What are you talking about now, it's business to go to Wei'er first!" Second master Cheng talked about him.

Han's heart sank gradually, and he walked out.

"where are you going?"

Han didn't even look back: "Gather the servants in the mansion, send people to the Duke's mansion for help, and bring more people to find Wei'er."

She walked to the door, looked back, her eyes were sad: "The bottom of the cliff is too cold, Weier can't bear it."

The Second Master Cheng's expression was embarrassing: "I'm going to summon the servants in the mansion. You can send someone to inform the Duke's Mansion. By the way, quickly send someone to bring Che'er back!"

Huairenbo's mansion changed in the blink of an eye, the Han family sent out a dozen servants, one named Awang finally found Cheng Che who was having a drink with friends in Desheng Building.

"Second Young Master, I found you. Something happened at home!" Awang was out of breath, holding on to the door of the private room, panting.

"What's going on at home?" Cheng Che put down the wine gu, as if Mount Tai had collapsed in front of him, but his face remained unchanged.

"Yes, it's the third girl. She went to the mountain with the fifth princess to play, and she fell off a cliff to save someone!" When Awang said this, he almost didn't dare to look Cheng Che in the eyes.

No one in the family knew that the second son and third girl had the best relationship.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure that was as fast as lightning, opened the window facing the street and jumped directly.

Awang was dumbfounded.

This is the third floor, the second young master just jumped down?

The man left behind was about the same age as Cheng Che. After being shocked, he turned out of the window after him.

Only then did Awang come back to his senses, and hurriedly chased him out along the stairs.

Before he ran out of the lobby, he was stopped by the clerk of Desheng Building: "You can't leave, just now the two gentlemen upstairs ate wine, jumped out of the window and ran away without paying any money!"

Awang was so anxious that he took out a few copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the clerk's hands, then pushed him away and ran away.

He is a servant, how can he have any money when he comes out to find someone!
The man saw that there were only a few copper coins, and he chased it for a long time before returning back cursing.

"Qingqian, don't run in such a hurry." The man struggled to catch up with Cheng Che, secretly startled.

He has been good friends with Cheng Che for many years, and because of his outstanding martial arts skills, he became the sixth-rank bodyguard next to the King of Nan'an. He always thought that he was slightly better than Cheng Che in terms of martial arts alone. Looking at his friend's footsteps today, he is not sure.

What surprised him even more was his friend's current appearance. After all these years of acquaintance, he had never seen him lose his composure like this.

Cheng Che ran back to Huairenbo's mansion in one breath, just in time to run into Mrs. Han leading a group of servants out.

Seeing Cheng Che, Han seemed to have found her backbone, her eyes turned red, "Che'er, you're finally back, Wei'er, Wei'er—"

"I'll look for it. Mother is waiting at home. If I don't find Wei Wei, my son will never come back." Cheng Che's usually bright and clear eyes are now as black as ink, as if a storm is brewing. Including his own burial.

Han watched helplessly as Cheng Che led a group of people away in a hurry, and his feet went limp and he fell to the ground.

"Did Wei Wei fall from here?" Cheng Che leaned over the cliff and looked down for a long time, pointing to the half-broken old tree.

The guard left behind by the fifth princess nodded hurriedly: "That's right here. At that time, Her Highness the Princess insisted on going down to look for it. The subordinates and others were afraid that something would happen to the Princess, so they took the Princess back to report the news. Second son, don't worry, we will check it out right away." Take a look at the terrain to see where you can go down—”

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Che took another step forward.

The man who followed grabbed him: "Qingqian, what are you doing?"

Cheng Che said calmly, "Go down."

"Are you crazy? This is a cliff, are you going to die if you go down like this?"

Cheng Che smiled wryly: "Xijin, let me go. My life is already at stake."

The man was shocked by his friend's sad expression and strange and inexplicable words, he unconsciously let go, and then saw his friend jumping up and disappearing instantly.

　It's the last day of February, so fast.
