Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 201 Searching Xuanjing Temple
"Li'er?" Old Madam Xie immediately felt hopeful. If Xuan'er and Li'er were together, the siblings must have forgotten the time because they were too busy playing, not missing!
Xie Qingyao muttered in a low voice: "Sister Li'er and brother Xuan'er had such a bad fight at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, and we didn't see them reconcile. How come they suddenly get together to play? It's so strange..."
Old Madam Xie and Xie Jingliang's expressions changed, but then they thought, would Xie Qingli dare to murder Xuan'er? She wouldn't dare! But they were a little worried in their hearts, what if she dared?
Xie Qingyao stopped talking at the right moment and asked with a look of doubt on her face, "Grandma, isn't Sister Li'er back either?"
The hint in Xie Qingyao's words was too obvious; even the usually slow-witted Xie Qingrong caught on. She stood up abruptly and angrily said, "Nonsense! Big sister was taken away by Taoist Xuanchen's young disciple. How could she be with Second Brother?"
She turned to look at Old Madam Xie and said firmly, "Grandmother, you must have known about this. The little Taoist boy also said that you were the one who told him that Big Sister was wearing lilac-colored clothes, so he could recognize Big Sister at a glance."
Madam Xie's face darkened as she said in a cold voice, "At such a young age, you haven't learned any good things, but you've learned to lie! I've been resting in the guest room the whole time. How could I have ever seen a little Taoist boy? How could I have told him what Li'er was wearing?!"
Xie Qingrong's eyes widened in shock. How could this happen? She was stunned for a moment, then raised her leg and walked out.
Madam Xie shouted, "Stop! Where are you going?"
Xie Qingrong was frightened and shuddered. She said in a trembling voice, "That little Taoist boy lied to me and deceived me. He must have bad intentions. I'm in danger. Rong'er wants to go look for me..."
Old Madam Xie glanced sharply at her granddaughters, glaring angrily, "From now on, without my permission, all of you must stay in this room. If you dare to step out of the door, you will be punished according to the family rules!"
She looked at Xie Jingliang again and ordered in a deep voice, "Jingliang, take the servants with you and go to the back mountain to look for Xuan'er. Make sure to bring him back!"
Xie Jingliang took all the servants away. Xie Qingqi and Xie Qingrong were both worried, looking towards the door from time to time. Only Xie Qingyao sat leisurely beside Mrs. Xie, knowing that Xie Jingliang would definitely return empty-handed.
About half an incense stick of time later, Xie Jingliang returned angrily with a group of servants from the Marquis' Mansion.
When passing by Xie Qingli's room, she suddenly heard a voice: "Miss, you have been writing for so long, it is time to take a break. If Miss Wu is still alive, she will surely feel your sincerity!"
Xie Jingliang, suspicious, quickly stepped forward and pushed open the door. He saw Xie Qingli sitting at the table, writing something stroke by stroke with a serious expression. Her cold-faced maid stood beside her, grinding ink.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the two people in the room looked up at the same time, both with surprised faces. Xie Qingli's eyes were full of confusion, and he asked doubtfully: "Second Uncle, what can I do for you?"
Xie Jingliang's eyes were fierce, emitting a ray of resentment, and he asked coldly: "Where is Xuan'er?"
"Brother Xuan'er?" Xie Qingli shook her head gently and said softly, "Since leaving Sanqing Palace, Li'er has never seen him again..."
Xie Jingliang's face turned pale and he said sternly, "You're lying! Yao'er clearly saw you taking Xuan'er to the back mountain! Tell me, where did you hide Xuan'er?"
Xie Qingyao? This troublemaker, spreading rumors and fanning the flames all day long!
Xie Qingli's face was gloomy, and he shook his head gently, saying, "Li'er has never met Brother Xuan'er, let alone brought him to the back mountain..."
Xie Jingliang was furious and shouting very loudly. Old Madam Xie's guest room was not far away, so she naturally heard the noise and rushed over with Xie Qingyao and others.
Seeing Xie Qingli in the guest room, except for Xie Qingrong who had a big smile on her face, the others were all surprised, especially Xie Qingyao. Her pupils suddenly shrank and her whole body seemed to be frozen.
Madam Xie asked in a deep voice, "Li'er, your brother Xuan'er..."
Xie Qingli was impatient to argue with them and interrupted them softly, "Grandma, Li'er has just told my second uncle that I haven't seen my younger brother Xuan'er. Instead, I have been copying scriptures in my room."
She turned and pointed at a pile of papers on the desk, saying softly, "Li'er heard that faithfully copying scriptures can appease the souls of the deceased. So, Li'er wanted to copy some more and burn them for Fifth Sister..."
Old Madam Xie walked quickly to the desk, picked up the pile of copied scriptures and flipped through them casually. The handwriting on each page was written very carefully, and it really looked like it had been copied for a long time.
Her eyes flashed. If Xie Qingli hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that she had a granddaughter named Xie Qingman!
After Xie Qingyao's initial shock, she finally recovered. Her mind began to race. After a moment, she softly said, "Sister Li'er, Sister Rong'er just said that you followed the little Taoist boy to see Taoist Master Xuanchen. How could you have been copying scriptures in your room the entire time?"
Xie Qingli's lips curled up into a faint smile, but that smile didn't reach her eyes, revealing a hint of murderous intent. She said softly, "Indeed, a little Taoist boy said he would take me to see Taoist Master Xuan Chen, but halfway there he suddenly cried out that his stomach hurt and ran to the toilet."
"I waited and waited but the little Taoist boy didn't come back. I guessed he must be playing a prank on me, so I went straight back to the guest room."
"You..." Xie Qingli's words were flawless, and Xie Qingyao was speechless. She saw with her own eyes that Xie Qingli followed the little Taoist boy to the back mountain. The truth of the matter must not be what Xie Qingli said, but she could not refute it.
Madam Xie looked at the furious Xie Jingliang and asked in a deep voice, "Jingliang, isn't Xuan'er in the back mountain?"
When Xie Jingliang mentioned this, he was furious. He said angrily: "The gate leading to the back mountain is locked. Those Taoist priests stopped us from going to the back mountain and said some unpleasant words. They are really looking down on others..."
"Who are you calling a dog?" Taoist Xuancheng's cold voice came from outside the door. He walked straight into the room and said coldly without waiting for the Xie family to answer, "Something happened in the temple that needs to be dealt with. You should stay in this yard and don't come out!"
Madam Xie frowned and said with suppressed anger, "But my grandson is missing..."
Taoist Xuancheng sneered, no longer having the patience to deal with the people from Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. He threatened, "Old Madam, you'd better keep the people in your mansion under control, otherwise you might lose more than just your grandson..."
Taoist Xuancheng came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and everyone in Jing'an Marquis Mansion was locked in the small courtyard of the guest room.
A massive human trafficking case involving hundreds of people has broken out at Xuanjing Temple. The Dali Temple has stormed the temple, completely encircling it. After a thorough search, they not only seize countless treasures and several boxes of gunpowder, but also discover a vast underground network of secret passages. However, the whereabouts of the girls remains a mystery...
