Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

As soon as Duan Hongyi returned to Yunkelai in Yuntai Town, he quickly went to the backyard.

He had heard Chef Wang briefly say that Xiao Wan's brother came to him for help with the jade pendant, but he went to the city. However, Chef Wang did not explain what happened in detail.

It’s not Chef Wang’s fault. Xiao Zhengping was so nervous and excited at the time that his speech was a little incoherent.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Duan Qing heard footsteps and immediately came out to check. Seeing that it was his master, he hurriedly saluted him.

Duan Hongyi asked bluntly, "Did Miss Xiao's brother tell me which direction she drove?"

Duan Qing was confused by the question. What is Miss Xiao’s brother? What happened?

Duan Qing quickly replied that he had just returned and didn't know what had happened.

Duan Ze hurriedly replied from behind, "Miss Xiao was being followed. Not long ago, she asked her brother to bring the jade pendant to the master for help. Didn't you meet him? It was a little boy of six or seven years old."

Duan Qing was completely bewildered. He had called back but hadn't seen any little boy. Was it Miss Xiao's brother asking for help? Could something have happened to Miss Xiao?

Wait, could it be that the waiter and a boy I saw going out when I just came back, looking very anxious, but I asked Miss Hongdou and she said they were just asking for directions.

Duan Qing hurriedly explained the matter, wondering if it was Miss Xiao's brother.

Red beans? Duan Hongyi's face was as gloomy as the sea on the verge of a storm.

At this time, Hongdou was still lying on the chaise longue in the inner room, drinking tea and eating snacks from time to time, holding the jade pendant she had taken from Xiao Zhengping in her hand and admiring it slowly.

Thinking that Xiao Wan might be harmed, he felt even more proud. It would be best if Xiao Wan was sold to a brothel. Now that she was outside, the young master would be his only one.

How dare a country bumpkin covet his own young master?

Duan Hongyi kicked the door open. Hongdou was startled and jumped up. She saw her young master walking in with an angry look on his face, followed by Duan Qing. She knew that the young master knew about the matter and was scared out of her wits for a moment.

Why did the young master come back so early? He shouldn’t know. Duan Qing is such a useless bastard. Why did he tell her about her?

Duan Hongyi pushed open the door and saw Hongdou falling to the ground in fright, trembling constantly.

"Let me ask you, did Miss Xiao's brother tell you which direction Miss Xiao went?" Duan Hongyi's expression calmed down instead, and he asked while pinching Hongdou's chin.

Hongdou heard the young master's calm tone and thought she was fine. It seemed that Xiao Wan was not that important in the young master's heart.

So he calmed down and replied, "She said she went out of town. Master, come back and rest for a while. She shouldn't be in any trouble."

Hongdou smiled gently, and after saying that, she stepped forward to support her young master.

Duan Qing and Duan Ze sighed silently, not daring to look at their master's face. They knew it must be ashen. They looked at Hongdou as if she were a dead person, and said nothing.

After hearing this, Duan Hongyi coldly kicked Hongdou to the ground and casually ordered, "Tie him up and lock him up in the woodshed. I'll talk to you when I get back."

"Yes, master." After saying that, another person came out and stuffed a rag into Hongdou's mouth. Regardless of Hongdou's struggles and cries, he tied her up mercilessly and dragged her to the woodshed, closing the door to block out Hongdou's cries.

Duan Qing and Duan Ze looked at each other. Seeing their master's expression, it was the first time they saw him so attentive to a girl. They both understood that their master's feelings for this Miss Xiao might be more than just ordinary feelings.

But the lady at home is not easy to get along with either, and the master will be in trouble in the future.

Duan Hongyi ignored her, turned around, quickly went out, mounted his horse, and galloped out of the town with a gloomy and anxious look on his face. "Xiao Wan, don't worry, wait for me."

Duan Hongyi was extremely regretful at this moment. He had clearly promised to help Xiao Wan find guards a few days ago, but he didn't expect the opponent to act so quickly.

To be honest, it was all his fault for not taking the matter to heart. If something really happened to such a lively and bright woman, Duan Hongyi didn't dare to think about it. He just felt his heart was tightly gripped.

Duan Hongyi rode his horse very fast, and Duan Qing and Duan Ze could hardly keep up.

On the other side, Zhao Mingyuan also rushed back anxiously and entered Yunkelai to find Xiao Zhengping. The waiter was shocked by his terrifying aura, and then said that his boss had already gone out of town.

Duan Hongyi? It seemed he had gotten the news too. It had been quite some time since Xiao Wan's accident. Zhao Mingyuan was too scared to think about it anymore. What had happened?

The whip in his hand was whipped harder and harder, the horse felt pain and ran faster.

But this did not relieve Zhao Mingyuan's anxiety at all. He was extremely scared. He should have told Xiao Wan before going out. He knew that she was a restless person. Besides, Xiao Wan now had both recipes and a workshop. A big tree attracts wind, and there would definitely be people who would be jealous.

Even when the Zhao family was confiscated and demoted, Zhao Mingyuan was not so anxious, because he knew that his family had the strength to come back.

But he couldn't guarantee Xiao Wan's safety.

Ying Mo followed Zhao Mingyuan closely. Apart from anything else, the fact that this girl had saved his master before and it would not affect his master made him very willing to help.
