Chapter 202: Returning disappointed after failing to meet the person
The carriage of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion had gone far away, but in the Duke of Qinxing's Mansion in the capital, chaos was about to break out!
Following Liu Dashou at the gate, Zhongshun kept looking towards one end of the street. After more than an hour of eager waiting, he finally saw the carriage of Marquis Qinxing's mansion returning.
"The carriage from our mansion!" Liu Da pointed excitedly at the carriage coming from a distance.
Zhongshun was only excited for a moment, and immediately frowned again.
He saw that there was only one carriage coming, and this carriage was used for purchasing goods for the mansion.
Would the Duke of Anguo's Mansion allow their beloved young lady to return home with the maid Qiu Gui in an ordinary carriage used for shopping by servants?
Didn’t the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion send a special carriage and servants to escort the eldest lady?
Zhongshun had a hunch -
That is, the eldest lady is not in this carriage.
The eldest lady did not come back with them.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Marquis Qinxing's mansion. The coachman did not turn around to help put down the footstool, nor did he reach out to open the curtain.
I saw a hand lifting the curtain from the inside, and when I looked again, Qiu Gui was the only one getting out of the carriage.
Sure enough, the eldest lady did not come back.
"Qiugui, what's going on? Where is the eldest lady? Hasn't the eldest lady come back?" Zhongshun and Liu Da asked Qiugui in unison, staring at her.
Qiu Gui shook her head dejectedly, "The eldest lady hasn't come back.
The eldest lady is not in the Duke's Mansion at all."
Zhongshun and Liu Da were shocked when they heard this, "What's going on? Miss...wasn't Miss picked up by the two ladies of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion yesterday?
She...she is not in the Duke's Mansion, then where else could she be?"
Qiu Gui lowered her head and said weakly, "It's true that the eldest lady followed the two ladies back to the Duke's Mansion.
But today, the eldest lady was not in the Duke's Mansion. She...she followed the old lady, the first lady and the second lady to the Duke's Mansion's farm outside the capital to have fun and relax.
They left early in the morning!"
"What? It's broken! This is really broken!"
Zhongshun was so anxious that he slapped his thigh, "What should I do?
The Marquis is still waiting for the eldest lady!
The Marquis is waiting for the eldest lady to come back so that he can report to the authorities!
Now that the eldest lady has left the capital, what...what...what should I do?
Our house is going to be in chaos now!"
Liu Da was also dumbfounded when he heard this!
When he regained his senses, he wanted to remind Zhongshun, "Then...then we have to hurry up...hurry up and report to the Marquis!
What to do next, you have to listen to the master!"
Liu Da's words reminded Zhongshun and Qiugui.
"Yes, yes, we must report to the Marquis first!
"My Lord...Is my Lord still in Chaoyang Garden?" Qiu Gui asked.
“How could it be still in Chaoyang Garden?” Zhongshun shook his head and said, “There’s not even a place to sit there!
After you left, the Marquis and his wife started fighting!
Madam also scratched the Marquis’ face!
Now, the Marquis is resting in my little room.
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else for now, let's go report to the Marquis first! Quickly!"
"Oh!" Qiu Gui nodded quickly and ran towards the mansion with Zhong Shun, leaving Liu Da alone guarding the gate in a daze.
The servants in the neighboring mansions, some who were out shopping and some who were sent out by their masters to deliver messages and do errands, came over and greeted Liu Da.
Liu Daqiang responded with a smile.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but sometimes he even felt that the way others greeted him and looked at him was different from before.
This mansion... this mansion... I'm afraid it is different from the past!
Liu Da simply turned around and walked in, closing the two doors.
Qiu Gui followed Zhong Shun and jogged all the way to the house where Zhong Shun lived.
From a distance, I could see the housekeeper Lu Jie'en and the accountant Peng Lu.
When Steward Lu and Peng Lu saw Zhongshun, they hurried over and asked, "Zhongshun, where is the Marquis? Where is the Marquis now?"
There are only empty houses left in several courtyards now, but no one knows where the marquis has hidden himself.
The two of them searched for several places, but just looked at the empty houses again with frustration.
"The Marquis is resting in my little room." Zhongshun said.
Lu Jie'en and Peng Lu looked at each other.
No wonder! No wonder they couldn't find the Marquis after searching several places. It turned out that the Marquis was resting in Zhongshun's house!
"Then let's go see the Marquis together." said Butler Lu.
As they walked, Butler Lu asked Qiu Gui, "Qiu Gui, didn't you go to the Duke's Mansion to pick up the eldest lady?
Is the young lady back?"
Qiu Gui shook her head, "No."
"Is it the young lady who refuses to come back?
Or is it that the people in the Duke's Mansion don't want the young lady to come back?" Peng Lu asked.
"neither.
The eldest lady is not in the Duke's Mansion at all.
The old lady, the first lady, the second lady and the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion went out of the capital to relax in the manor. They left early in the morning. "
“What? Then…then what happened next…” Peng Lu looked at them and frowned.
"Alas!" Butler Lu sighed deeply and thought to himself: It's the time, the luck, the fate, and the retribution!
Perhaps, the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion has begun to suffer retribution!
Perhaps even God felt it was unfair and felt sorry for the late lady!
