Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

After Ye Ziyu and the others finished their meal, they packed up their things and set off again.

"Sister, how long will it take us to go to Liangzhou this time?"

"According to our current progress, we should be able to arrive in about ten days. What's wrong?"

"Oh, no. Let me ask, what places will we pass by along the way?"

Ye Qingyin shook her head. "I've read in books before that some places have beautiful scenery, but I'm not sure if we will go there."

"Then we can only go with the flow." Ye Ziyu opened the carriage curtain, and there were mountains on both sides outside. "But why does it feel like no one walks on this road?"

"Yes, miss. I haven't seen any pedestrians since we left the inn." Li Qiu said next to the carriage.

Ye Ziyu looked at the mountains, "These mountains are not very high, some look like hills and valleys. What kind of areas would have hills and valleys? Alas, I didn't learn geography well, so I don't remember it at all. I don't know which places in this novel world correspond to which places in the modern world."

Ye Ziyu looked for a while and then let down the curtain.

Ye Qingyin was reading a book in the carriage, while Ling Bingqing lay down and went to sleep. Ling Bingqing felt that there was nothing to do and it was tiring to sit in the carriage, so she just lay down.

"What are you looking at, sis?"

"Here." Ye Qingyin handed the book to Ye Ziyu.

"Anecdotes?"

"Well, this was given to me by Si Chen. He said that there are some interesting stories written on it, which can help me kill time on the road. Do you want to read it? There are quite a lot of books in it." After saying that, Ye Qingyin took out the rest.

"This is divided into I, II and III. Are there any connections between them?"

"Probably not. This book is full of small stories, and there is no connection between them."

"Then I'll take a look at one too, hehe." Ye Ziyu was really bored, so he picked up II and started reading.

Ye Ziyu was absorbed in reading when the carriage stopped. Ling Sichen rode to the side of the carriage and said, "Ayin, let's take a rest here first. You must be tired after sitting in the carriage for so long."

"Okay." Ye Qingyin responded, "Let's put the books in the car first, and then we can go down for a walk?" Ye Qingyin said to Ye Ziyu, then turned and shook Ling Bingqing.

"You guys go down first, I'll come after I finish reading the last part of the story." Ye Ziyu said.

Ling Bingqing woke up and followed Ye Qingyin out of the carriage. They put a piece of cloth under a tree, then sat down to rest and drink water.

"Miss, there is a stream ahead. Can I get some water to make some tea?" Li Qiu asked outside the carriage.

"Well, go ahead." Ye Ziyu answered from inside.

After a long time, Ye Ziyu finished reading the story, got off the carriage, and walked to Ye Qingyin.

"Where is Li Qiu?" Ye Ziyu looked around but didn't see Li Qiu.

"I don't know. I don't think I saw her just now." Lixia said.

"I didn't see it either." Xiaoxue agreed.

"This girl just told me that she was going to fetch some water from the nearby stream to make tea. Why hasn't she come back in such a long time?" Ye Ziyu said.

By chance, a servant came from the direction of the stream, "Hey, come here." Ling Bingqing waved to the servant.

"Miss." The servant came over.

"You just came back from the creek?"

"Yes, I went to fetch some water for tea, as the previous one was all used up."

"Are there any other people over there in the creek?"

"Miss Ye San, there is no one else by the stream."

After saying that, Ling Bingqing waved her hand and the servant left.

"Where did Liqiu go?" Ye Ziyu frowned.

"Maybe he went to relieve himself?" Ling Bingqing asked, "With so many people here, nothing should happen."

"But this girl always tells me before she does anything, so I feel a little uncomfortable for no reason." Ye Ziyu smoothed his chest.

"Maybe I was in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you."

"No, I'd better go look for it." Ye Ziyu stood up.

"Then let us go with you to take a look." Ye Qingyin stood up.

Ling Bingqing clapped her hands, "We've been sitting for so long, it's time to get up and take a walk. Let's go together."

Ye Ziyu originally wanted to look for it herself, but she didn't expect Ye Qingyin and Ling Bingqing to have already gotten up, so she swallowed the words back.

Ling Sichen saw that the female members had all stood up and walked towards them.

"What's wrong?" Ling Sichen asked.

"It's okay, Brother Sichen. The three of us are tired of sitting. We want to walk around and stretch our muscles." Ye Ziyu said.

"Then don't go too far. Bring some people with you. After all, we are not familiar with this place and there are bandits causing trouble. Safety comes first." Ling Sichen said.

"Yeah." Ye Ziyu nodded.

Several people walked towards the stream and looked around.

When they arrived at the creek, they didn't see Li Qiu. "Where did this girl go?" Ye Ziyu asked worriedly.

"Miss, look at that."

Ye Ziyu looked in the direction of Lixia's finger and saw something that looked like a handkerchief in the haystack. Ye Ziyu walked over.

After picking it up, they looked at it and said, "Isn't this the handkerchief that the young lady gave us?" Lixia said on the side. Before, when Ye Ziyu was learning women's work, she embroidered a handkerchief for Liqiu and Lixia respectively. Because there was a special mark embroidered on the handkerchief, it could not be someone else's.

"Why is Li Qiu's handkerchief here? She must have been here, but where is she now?" Ye Ziyu had a bad feeling.

"Miss, nothing will happen to Liqiu, right?" Lixia was anxious. Liqiu and Lixia entered the mansion at about the same time, and were both assigned to serve Ye Ziyu, so Lixia and Liqiu had a good relationship.

"Don't worry, let's go to the nearby area and take a look. Xiaoxue, go back to the resting place and see if Liqiu has returned. If he has, tell us immediately." Ye Qingyin said.

"Yes." Xiaoxue quickened her pace and went back.

Ye Qingyin stepped forward, held Ye Ziyu's hand and patted it gently. Ye Ziyu felt relieved when she saw Ye Qingyin's soothing expression.

But what happened next made Ye Ziyu no longer feel at ease, because they found a kettle with the Ye Mansion logo in the grass, and the water spilled all over the floor.

A few people realized that something might have happened to Li Qiu and hurried back to the base camp.

Xiaoxue saw Ye Qingyin coming back and came over to greet her, "Miss, I didn't see Li Qiu. What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Ling Sichen was also keeping an eye on Ye Qingyin's movements. At first, when he saw Xiaoxue coming back, he wanted to ask Ye Qingyin why she didn't come back, but he saw that Xiaoxue was looking for something.

Now seeing Ye Qingyin coming back, but the faces of several people were not very good, Ling Sichen stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Si Chen, something seems to have happened." Ye Qingyin's voice trembled slightly.

"What happened? Are you hurt?" Ling Sichen frowned slightly, wanting to check if Ye Qingyin was injured.

"It's not me, it's Li Qiu." Ye Qingyin said.

"Li Qiu?" Ling Sichen couldn't remember who Li Qiu was for a moment.

"Ayu's personal maid." Ye Qingyin saw Ling Sichen's confused expression.

"What's going on?" Ling Sichen asked. Qin Luoheng and Fang Jingxiu saw everyone gathered together and also walked over.

"Just now Liqiu told me that he was going to the stream to fetch some water. Then I got off the carriage and didn't see Liqiu. I asked the servant who came back with water and he said if he didn't see us by the stream, he should look around. Then he saw Liqiu's handkerchief and the kettle of the Ye Mansion." Ye Ziyu said.

"A handkerchief? A maid also has a handkerchief?" Qin Luoheng asked.

"That was embroidered for my two personal maids when I was learning women's work. I couldn't make a mistake with one for each of them." Ye Ziyu said excitedly, "Li Qiu must have had an accident."

"Don't worry, send someone out to look for it." Fang Jingxiu said, "But if something really happens, you may have to be mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Ye Ziyu almost fell down, and Lixia supported Ye Ziyu.

To Ye Ziyu, Liqiu is not only a maid, but also a friend. She is the first person she met here. Liqiu has been with her for so long. If something really happened to Liqiu, she would find it hard to accept it.

"Miss." Lixia's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was tearful.

"Young Marquis, Brother Sichen, please, help me find Liqiu." Ye Ziyu choked.

Ye Ziyu's words were beyond everyone's expectation. Although she was a personal maid, no young lady would ever ask others for help for her maid or worry about her so much.

"Let's look for it first. No one will know the situation until the end. Take your lady back to the carriage to rest." Fang Jingxiu said to Lixia.

"No, I want to look for it with you." Ye Ziyu said and turned around to go out to look for someone.

"Miss!" Ye Ziyu fainted and Lixia hurried to support her.
