Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 45: The Lady of the Marquisate Kills the Time-Traveling Girl (20)

In the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, Xie Shuwei has always been good at being clingy. After the two of them lived together legally, she asked for things even more often.

But Lu Wenbai was not in the mood, and after making love, he hurried to the study.

Although Hsieh Su-wei was confused, she did not take it seriously.

Lu Wenbai went to the study, feeling very complicated.

He felt lonely because of Shi Qing's disappearance, but Xie Shuwei was appreciated by Emperor Shangwu, and the poems she wrote were sought after by many people, which also made the Lu family very popular among the noble families in the capital.

However, even he himself didn't know that Shi Qing's disappearance made him miss her inadvertently in the dead of night.

During this period, Lu Wenbai was not only busy with state affairs, but also secretly working for the eldest prince Shen Mubai.

Even though he tried hard to be busy with government affairs and forget about Shi Qing's affairs, he still couldn't sleep for some unknown reason when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

He learned from the old maid in the mansion how Shi Qing had been loyal to him and taken care of the household affairs during the six years he was away from Beijing.

Shi Qing wiped the sword he carried with him every day. Sometimes when he went to the study, he would carefully touch his handwriting. Those poems he wrote in the past were carefully kept by his new wife.

She treated it as a treasure. Even though people in the capital had told Shi Qing countless times that Ning Yuanhou had died in battle, she still didn't believe it.

Not only did he pay his respects to the old lady every morning and evening, but whenever he had free time, he would take Lu Wenbai's clothes to Lanruo Temple to make a petition.

Lu Wenbai was originally practicing calligraphy, but at this moment, his mind couldn't calm down.

There was a drizzle outside the window. He stood up, put on a cloak, and walked towards Qiwuyuan as if possessed.

Everything in the courtyard was the same as before, except for the laughter and joy of the past. Nanny Zhao in Qiwu Courtyard heard footsteps and thought it was Shi Qing coming back.

She stood up excitedly, only to see that the uninvited guest was Lu Wenbo.

"I've met the Marquis."

Nanny Zhao was angry. The lady had disappeared, but Lu Wenbai took Xie Shuwei as his concubine.

What the nanny cares about most is whether the lady’s disappearance is related to them.

She has already written a letter to the master and the mistress, and is waiting for a reply. In at most half a month, the two elders of the Shi family will come to the capital, and the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion must give justice and an explanation.

"No need to be polite."

As he said that, he walked straight into the room, wanting to take a look at Shi Qing's courtyard.

But, Madam Zhao pursed her lips and spoke in a cold voice.

"Why are you attending the banquet? The Marquis and the old lady are fine, and even Miss Xie is fine, but my wife is missing. You should give our Shi family an explanation for this matter."

Nanny Zhao is the nanny that Madam Shi trusts the most. She has been taking care of Shi Qing since he was a child and has developed feelings for him. She will not let this matter go.

Lu Wenbai knew that it was impossible to shut everyone up about this matter, so he sighed.

"My wife was taken away by assassins. I was injured at the time, so I didn't catch up with them. However, as long as they are in the capital, we will definitely find them. It's just a matter of time."

Nanny Zhao is not easy to fool. After all, she comes from a wealthy family, so she naturally has a broad vision and mind.

"So, my Lord, you only searched for a day or two before giving up? My wife is a weak woman, powerless, and she's in a difficult situation after being taken away.

I cannot blame you for not finding your wife, but you actually took a concubine at this time. How do you know if someone is deliberately trying to harm your wife?

Could it be that the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, as huge as it is, can't even protect the mistress of the family?"

Nanny Zhao felt regretful. If she had not been unwell that day and had not accompanied the lady, this would not have happened.

The lady disappeared, and even Songzhi was nowhere to be found. She was completely at a loss and could only send people out to inquire about the news every day. However, it was of no avail.

When Lu Wenbai was questioned by the little servant, his face changed slightly. He looked at Zhao Ma coldly and smiled mockingly.

"Don't forget your status. This Marquis cares more about Madam's life and death than anyone else. Madam Zhao, there are some things you shouldn't say carelessly."

Nanny Zhao was speechless and didn't even bother to say a word to Lu Wenbai.

"What has Madam been doing in the six years I've been away..."

Lu Wenbai was silent for a while, and suddenly asked. He knew that he had a marriage since he was a child, but he didn't like the ladies from noble families who followed the rules, and he had never been curious about Shi Qing.

Now, Shi Qing’s disappearance made him feel inexplicably depressed.

"My Lord, you don't know that when my Lady missed you so much, she knelt before the Buddha for two days and two nights, praying for your safe return."

"At that time, the Second Miss was still very young and at her most noisy age. It was our Madam who took care of her. But no matter how attentive Madam was to others, no one would cherish her."

……

Nanny Zhao talked a lot to herself, and Lu Wenbai listened in silence. His originally calm heart was overwhelmed by guilt.

If he had to choose again, he might choose Shi Qing. Would she blame herself?

"It's getting late, Ma'am, please go down and rest. I want to stay here for a while. Thank you for your help."

Nanny Zhao hesitated to speak and turned away.

When the lady was in the mansion, the Marquis did not seem very happy. Now that she has disappeared, she is making a scene again. It is really ridiculous.

"Yes, the slaves retire."

After Nanny Zhao left, Lu Wenbai sat in front of the bronze mirror in Qiwu Courtyard, where a notebook was placed.

He felt a slight movement in his heart and opened the notebook. The handwriting was very beautiful and it was obvious that the author had practiced calligraphy.

The diary recorded many things that Shi Qing had encountered in the past few years. She had grown from a carefree young lady in her boudoir to the mistress of the marquis's mansion who was adept at handling miscellaneous affairs.

It wasn't something that happened naturally, but rather it took a lot of time and thought. Looking at every word above, Lu Wenbai remained silent.

He stood up and walked to the window frame. Outside the window, the crabapple blossoms, which had been washed by wind and rain, had fallen from the branches, no longer as beautiful as before.

The crabapple blossoms have fallen.

Lu Wenbai stood up and left Qiwu Courtyard, and suddenly recalled a long-forgotten memory, the year when he had his coming-of-age ceremony.

He knew that he had a young wife, so sometimes he would write letters to Wuzhou, or send snacks from the capital to please his fiancée.

Six years ago, when we got married, everything seemed to have changed after we went to Yumen Pass.

When he was at Yumen Pass, he met the unique Hsieh Su-wei and fell in love with her uncontrollably. He also became more and more disgusted with Shi Qing's existence.

He stumbled out of Qiwu Courtyard and called Fu'an, asking him to bring a few pots of good wine.

In the past, Lu Wenbai, who was able to control his alcohol tolerance, was almost drunk.

However, when he woke up, Lu Wenbo had forgotten everything that happened last night.

Hsieh Su-wei fed Lu Wenbo some hangover soup, took off his coat, and changed his clothes.

"Lu Lang, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you go back to Ziteng Garden? Don't you know that I'm most afraid of rainy nights?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lawrence Lu coquettishly, “Are you tired of me?”
