The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 504 A Good Thing Turns Bad (2)
Xiao Xiao didn't do any more unnecessary struggles, and spread his hands and said: "Brother, you should ask Xiao Xi yourself, I don't dare to talk nonsense, you don't know that girl Xiao Xi, if you let her know that I said What shouldn't be said, she still doesn't know how to punish me."

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, "So you are really hiding something from us."

What is it that is serious enough to hide it from them?Does Xiaoxi have any unspeakable secrets?

And why can't Ah Xiao know that they don't know?Xiao Yu was suddenly very dissatisfied, and then looked at his brother next to him full of hostility.

Xiao Xiao was puzzled, "Brother, what do you mean by looking at me like this?" Did he not offend him?
Xiao Yu snorted softly, "Why can you know Xiaoxi's secret, but we can't?" It's not fair!
"Hehe, can this be my fault? Who made me go all the way to Peach Blossom Town?" Xiao Xiao was very proud.

Xiao Yu glanced at his smug younger brother suspiciously, thinking in his heart whether he should let his grandfather cure him.

While talking, a lot of time passed, and now even Xiao Xiao felt strange.

"Strange, why hasn't Xiaoxi come here? This is not right. If she has been delayed by something, it has been delayed for so long. According to her temperament, she will have someone come to Xiao's residence to inform us that she was delayed by something. , she will come later, so we don't have to worry about it. But now she has neither come to Xiao's mansion, nor has anyone said... Could something have happened?" Thinking that something might have happened, Xiao Xiao immediately couldn't stand up .

"Brother, you go back first. I'll go to the city gate to have a look. Something must have happened to Xiaoxi!" According to his understanding of Xiaoxi, she would never do such an unreported thing, so she must have met someone. What is the problem that prevents her from arriving at Xiao's mansion smoothly or sending a letter to her.

"I'll go with you! If I go in now, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?" Xiao Yu frowned.

"Then go!"

Before the two left, they repeatedly warned the servants guarding the gate not to enter the mansion and talk nonsense.But they didn't know that just as they left, Mrs. Xiao ran out again. When they asked, they broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly turned around and went back to tell the master.

As soon as Mr. Xiao heard that he could still sit still, he was about to ride out to have a look, but Mrs. Xiao stopped him.Xiao Nianxun was also very nervous, for fear that something might happen to her daughter and son, Mrs. Xiao managed to calm her down.

Mrs. Xiao is quite calm, at least on the surface, but only he knows what he is like in his heart.

Then there was Xiaobao, who couldn't see his mother for a long time, and he also became anxious, and kept asking why his mother didn't come, but Dongyang managed to coax him in the end.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao rode horses and arrived at the city gate very quickly, but after looking around the city gate for a while, they didn't see any carriages or anything like that. The two brothers and sisters of Xiaoxi must have taken a carriage when they came to the capital from Taohua Town, but the city There was no carriage by the door.

"Could it be that they haven't arrived yet? That's impossible. Xiaoxi said in her letter last time that according to the itinerary, she would arrive in the capital at noon at the latest, but now it's time to apply! It's impossible to be so late !" Xiao Xiao muttered to himself, frowning.

Xiao Yu looked at the people coming and going outside the city gate, and said, "Ah Xiao, I'll go out of the city gate to have a look. You are here, so as not to notice for a while that the carriage is coming into the city."

Xiao Xiao nodded, and Xiao Yu drove his horse out of the city gate. The guards at the city gate saw that he didn't even ask him a question, and bent down to salute him. Xiao Yu didn't look sideways. the past.
