Chapter 33 I don't want to suffer this loss
Xia Taoyuan ran all the way to Yingyuan in the direction of the light. Yingyuan was now brightly lit. When she stepped into the room, she saw several people standing in the room. Dai'er saw her first and cried, "Miss, you are back. Where have you been? You scared us to death."
"Water, give me a glass of water." Xia Taoyuan was dying of thirst. Zhu'er helped her to a chair. Everyone looked at her with anxious, worried and confused eyes.
"Be patient." She waved her hand, gulped down a glass of water, and put the cup heavily on the table, "Another one." Dai'er immediately poured her another glass, and Cui'er brought over some snacks.
Xia Taoyuan didn't care about her image and wolfed down a few snacks, only then did she feel better. She then saw the people in the room clearly. In addition to the four maids, Wei Jinghe was also there, as well as Zhu'er's mother Zheng Mama, who must have been sent by the lady, and Zhang Qing, the servant of the Lu Mansion who was looking for Lu Qing'er today.
She understood instantly that she must have not come back. The little maids reported to the lady and then sent people to the general's mansion to look for her. She was not there, so Lu Qing'er sent a servant to find out the situation.
"Grandma Zheng, please tell mother that I'm fine. I got lost while playing outside. Don't let her worry." Xia Taoyuan instructed Grandma Zheng.
Grandma Zheng looked at her dirty face and the blood on her body, nodded, and left.
She also asked the servants of the Lu Mansion to go back to the house and tell Miss Lu that she was fine, and the servants left as ordered.
Wei Jinghe looked at her and frowned and asked, "Where have you been? What's with the blood on your body?" The little girls also looked at her.
Xia Taoyuan looked at the bloodstains on his body and realized that they were splashed when he chopped off the skinny monkey's head. He said casually, "If I had known that I would get blood on my body, I would not have chopped off his head."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Dai'er screamed: "Miss, did you kill someone?"
"I wanted to kill him myself." Xia Taoyuan gritted his teeth, "Someone else killed him, so I chopped off his head."
Then, she told the story of how she was kidnapped and taken to the wilderness on her way home and almost lost her innocence, but she omitted the mention of Gu Xixi. The little girls were all terrified when they heard it, but fortunately the young lady was lucky enough to return safely.
Wei Jinghe frowned and said angrily, "Who is so bold as to kidnap the young lady from the Xiangfu?"
"Brother, don't be angry. I'm back safely now. You should go and have a rest too. I stink. I'll take a shower first." Xia Taoyuan wanted to send Wei Jinghe away.
Wei Jinghe looked at her deeply and said, "You don't want me to intervene?"
"Well, I'll handle it myself. Brother will go back and call Chang Chang'an to come and help me."
"Okay, tell me if you can't solve it. Changsheng and the others are out looking for you, I'll go back and see if they've come back." After saying that, Wei Jinghe left.
Xia Taoyuan took off her blood-stained clothes and asked Zhu'er to throw them away. Then she went upstairs to take a shower and changed into clean clothes.
Cui Er told her that Chang Chang'an had arrived. Xia Taoyuan came downstairs and said, "You two often go out with your brother. Have you ever heard of someone called Gu Xixi?"
Changan said, "Gu Xixi? Why did the young lady look for her? She is a singer in the Lichun Courtyard in the south of the city."
Chang Chang'an has been with Wei Jinghe for so many years, and he often goes to manage relationships with Wei Jinghe. There are many officials who flatter the prime minister. Even if the prime minister does not want to go along with them, he does not want to offend them and make enemies, so he usually visits them.
Officials of all sizes were scattered throughout Yunjun City, and Chang Chang'an also followed Wei Jinghe to many places. He also made acquaintances with many servants in various mansions, and of course, he also arranged some spies outside. Therefore, they also heard about all the major and minor events in Yunjun City.
For example, Gu Xixi was once favored by Niu Er, a servant of the Minister of Personnel. He often went to Lichunyuan to listen to Gu Xixi singing, but Gu Xixi had high standards and looked down on Niu Er. Niu Er also didn't want to waste the money he had worked hard for, so when he saw that Gu Xixi was not interested, he found another lover.
Chang'an heard Niu Er talk about these things when they were drinking. Later, Niu Er also said that Gu Xixi had become rich and no longer sang in Lichun Courtyard. She bought a yard in the south of the city and lived the life of a decent woman.
"Do you know where Gu Xixi lives?" Xia Taoyuan asked.
"That's easy. Miss, if you want to know, I'll go ask Niu Er tomorrow." Chang'an said.
"Not tomorrow, I want to know now, and I will go meet Gu Xixi later!" Xia Taoyuan said in a firm tone.
"Miss, are you going to the south of the city to look for Gu Xixi?" Changsheng had doubts, but he couldn't stop her from making her decision. Seeing Xia Taoyuan nod, Changsheng said, "We'll pass by the Minister of Personnel's house when we go to the south of the city. We can ask Niu Er later."
"Okay! Go call two more people and ask them to go to the toilet and fetch two buckets of shit." Xia Taoyuan almost retched as he spoke, "Changan, go prepare the carriage."
The two men didn't know what the young lady was going to do, but the young master had told them to do whatever the young lady asked them to do, so they went as they were told.
"Is it this Gu Xixi who harmed the young lady?" Dai'er said angrily.
Xia Taoyuan pinched her little face and said with a smile, "It's her."
"Let's go with the young lady!" Dai'er said, and the other three maids agreed.
"Then let's go." Xia Taoyuan walked out the door, and the little girls followed closely behind.
