Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1856

Second, all the guards in the post station were divided into twelve teams, with Zhouji as the center and three miles as the boundary, to search every street and every house.

Third, she asked Yu Sujun to draw several portraits, post them all over Gongcheng, and announce a large reward.

The notice read, "A maidservant of our family has gone missing. Anyone who finds her will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver." It did not mention anything else.

Yu Sujun painted as she was told. Shi Anxue stood beside her mother, her small body tense, not daring to breathe, tears welling up in her eyes.

How dare she say that before going to bed last night she had pulled Hongque's sleeve and acted coquettishly, saying, I'm so hungry, I want to eat Zhouji's candied fruits.

What she didn't expect was that Hongque actually took these words to heart and went out early in the morning to buy it for her.

The little girl's heart felt like it was torn apart. After Ye Bao'er disappeared, she once again experienced the pain of separation.

When Shi Anxue saw the portrait of the red magpie gradually taking shape under her mother's pen, she could no longer hold back and rushed into Shi Anxia's yard holding the little white dog.

"Sister Xia'er," she sobbed and threw herself into Shi Anxia's arms, "Sister Hongque disappeared because she wanted to buy me some sweets and fruits."

The little white dog was squeezed between the two people, tilting its neck and twisting its body restlessly.

Shi Anxue raised her tearful eyes and said with a sob, "If Sister Hongque can come back, I will give Dabai to her. I will never fight with her for Dabai again."

This is the most precious promise the little girl could think of.

Bei Hui waited until An Xue left, then asked worriedly, "Madam, do you think it could be the young master of the Xie family?"

Shi Anxia shook his head slowly, as if thinking about something, "Unlikely. He shouldn't cause trouble at this moment..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. A dusty figure rushed in, with unmelted snow still on his dark suit.

"Which young master of the Xie family?" Tang Xinghe stood at the door, his voice as cold as ice.

As soon as they entered the city, they saw missing person notices all over the city. The familiar face in the painting made his eyes red instantly.

This young man, who had been silent and patient for a long time, now exuded a terrifying murderous aura. He took two steps at a time and walked into the house, with frost between his brows and blazing anger in his eyes, and he was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Bei Hui was so frightened by his appearance that she took a half step back.

Shi Anxia looked up and saw that the boy's knuckles were white when he clenched his fists, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and even his breathing was trembling.

"Cousin Xinghe, you..."

"Who is it?" Tang Xinghe interrupted word by word, his voice hoarse, "Have you found out who took Hong Que away? Any clues?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chuyang and Chi Shuang came in. They greeted each other and sat down.

Bei Hui swiftly repeated the circumstances of Hong Que's disappearance, and at the end, he said, "With Da Bai here, there should be news soon."

Tang Xinghe asked again, "Who is the young master of the Xie family? Is he familiar with Hong Que? Where is this person?"

Nan Yan just came in to report, "Madam, Mr. Xie wants to see you."
