Chapter 706 Qiniang escaped

On the Ba Bridge, Princess Guanghua and Hener and his daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Mr. Ma kept reminding the old servants who accompanied Hener to go to other places to take good care of their daughter and son-in-law. Shangguan Yi stood by with helplessness because everything he should have said was over, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law still refused to let go, so his son-in-law could only wait by the side.

Li Xiu's family also came to see her off, but at this time the lady turned her head and looked around, and then asked Li Xiu a little strangely: "Husband, why didn't you see Qi Niang?"

"Last time she wanted to go to Suzhou with Hen'er, but I didn't agree. As a result, I have been sulking at home these days. This morning I went to ask her to see him off with him, but she was angry and stayed in the room and didn't come out. I didn't care about her anymore." Li Xiu said helplessly at this time. He had no choice but to have such a willful sister.

"Qian Niang is indeed a bit willful. How can a girl run so far alone? But she can't keep being so arrogant. When she returns, her husband will persuade her." Yi Niang first agreed with Li Xiu, and then persuaded him that Qi Niang had a stubborn temper and could not even get back the things she had decided on. Yi Niang was really worried that she would do something irrational when she was angry.

"There is no need to persuade me. I used to be too spoiled by Qi Niang, which made her develop such a willful temper. This time I have to let her go for a few days and let her reflect on it!" Li Xiu said with a stern face at this time. In fact, he was also very angry today. After all, He'er was about to leave. As He'er's best friend, Qi Niang couldn't come to see her off because she was angry with him, which was a bit too much.

"Okay, husband, don't be too angry. The reason why Qi Niang has such a temper is not what you spoiled by husband? I am worried now that our daughter will make you more willful in the future?" Yi Niang saw that Li Xiuzhen was a little angry, and then smiled again.

"This is true, it's all my husband who is also blamed. If it weren't for the time when you asked Mr. Yuwen to learn how to build a ship, Qi Niang wouldn't have her own shipbuilding workshop, and she wouldn't have been clamoring to go to the beach like today. So these were all brought by the husband themselves, so no one else!" Princess Pingyang also smiled.

In fact, Princess Pingyang did not object to Qi Niang's trip to Suzhou. After all, when she led the rebel army to fight against the Sui Dynasty, she was no older than Qi Niang, so she also understood Qi Niang's mood. Of course, she could understand Li Xiu's painstaking efforts more. Therefore, she did not make a clear statement on this matter, which was considered to be a helping hand.

"This...I..." Li Xiu was refuted by the words of his two wives because they were indeed facts.

Fortunately, the mother and daughter of Princess Guanghua were finally finished at this time. Shangguan Yi hurriedly said goodbye to Ma Ye and his wife and Li Xiu, which relieved Li Xiu's embarrassment. Then they brought Shangguan Yi and He'er into the carriage together, and then watched the newly married couple leave. But as He'er's carriage gradually drifted away, Princess Guanghua couldn't help but jumped into Ma Ye's arms and cried again.

Li Xiu felt uncomfortable when he saw He'er leaving. The rooster and the others were also wiping their tears. They waited until He'er's carriage disappeared at the end of the official road. Only then did Ma advise Princess Guanghua to stop crying and then return home with Li Xiu and the others.

Because of He'er's departure, the atmosphere at Li Xiu's home seemed a little dull. Even Jin'er, a famous mischievous man, felt something was wrong, and actually pulled Ping'anlang to study. At lunch, Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang had no appetite, and as a result, only Li Xiu and Yuechan were left to eat with a few children. Yuechan was pregnant, so she had to pay attention to her health, but even so, she didn't eat much of this meal.

As for Qi Niang's greater chance of having lunch, Li Xiu had expected this, but he decided to dry it well, so he didn't care. However, he didn't care. However, when it was time for dinner, he still didn't see Qi Niang, which made Li Xiu worry, and even wanted to go to Qi Niang's place to persuade her in person. However, thinking of Qi Niang's willful look, Li Xiu couldn't help but be cruel. He didn't ask someone to call Qi Niang during dinner. He wanted to see how stubborn Qi Niang was?

Seeing that Li Xiu was really angry with Qi Niang, Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang couldn't help but show a worried look. She also advised Li Xiu a few times during dinner, but Li Xiu obviously couldn't listen, which left them with no choice but to secretly ask someone to prepare a meal for Qi Niang to take it to avoid starving her sister-in-law.

Li Xiu and Qi Niang were angry, but in fact he felt uncomfortable. After all, Qi Niang was his own sister, and their mother died early. Li Jing, the father-in-law, was not much the same as Li Xiu. However, Li Xiu was both a father and a mother, and even taught Qi Niang to study in person. Li Xiu was very fond of his only sister, so Qi Niang was angry and refused to eat. Li Xiu felt even more uncomfortable than being hungry.

It was precisely because of the above reasons that Li Xiu also suffered from insomnia that night and tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep. In the end, Princess Pingyang was also woken up by her, which made her feel helpless: "Husband, if you are worried about Qi Niang, why not visit her. Qi Niang has a childish temper after all, so don't be too angry with her!"

"Who am I worried about her, I...I am just worried about Heer and his wife." Li Xiu said stubbornly at this time.

"Okay, since you are not worried about Qi Niang, then be honest. If you don't sleep, I still want to sleep." Princess Pingyang saw that Li Xiu refused to admit it, and she couldn't help but give him a blank look and said, then turned her body to the other side to continue sleeping, leaving Li Xiu alone to continue worrying.

After finally reaching the east sky, Li Xiu immediately jumped out of the bed, put on his clothes and came to the gate of the courtyard where Qi Niang lived. Then he knocked on the door for a while, and then two maids came to open the door in dresses. When they saw Li Xiu outside the door, the two maids were also startled, and then immediately saluted: "I pay homage to the master!"

"No need to be polite, how is Qi Niang doing?" Li Xiu waved his hand and asked the two maids to stand up, then asked.

"Master, since you left yesterday, my wife has locked herself in the room and refused to come out, and she also strictly prohibited any of us from disturbing me. Yesterday, the two ladies brought dinner to my wife. I wanted to call her to have dinner, but my wife ignored us and probably went to bed early." At this time, one of the maids replied.

"How long have you been calling outside yesterday? Did Qi Niang never respond inside?" Li Xiu felt something was wrong when he heard the maid's answer, and asked anxiously.

"We knocked outside for a long time. The lady should have heard it, but there was no response inside. We were worried that the lady was in a bad mood, so we didn't dare to ask more questions." The maid replied again.

Li Xiu felt even worse when he heard this. He ignored the two maids and took big steps to Qi Niang's door, then patted the door and shouted, "Qi Niang, open the door quickly!"

Li Xiu was anxious at this time, and the force of slapping the door was naturally very loud and the voice was very loud. However, he shouted outside for more than a dozen times, but there was still no response in the room. This made Li Xiu's premonition of something bad in his heart even stronger. He didn't care about anything else at the moment, so he raised his legs and kicked the door open, and then broke in.

"No one!" When Li Xiu broke into Qi Niang's bedroom, he found that there was not even a single figure in the room. The quilt on the bed was folded well, and the quilt was cold. It didn't seem like someone had slept. This made Li Xiu scream in anger: "Oops!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiu rushed out of Qi Niang's yard, and immediately ordered the guards in the mansion to gather urgently, because Qi Niang was missing, but Li Xiu could guess with his toes. Qi Niang must have run out secretly yesterday and got on the carriage of Hen'er. Now he may have left the territory of Chang'an, and he must chase Qi Niang back.

As soon as Li Xiu's order was delivered, he alarmed Princess Pingyang in the mansion. Before the guards gathered, Princess Pingyang hurriedly found Li Xiu and asked, "What's wrong with your husband? Why did you let the guards in the mansion gather? Is something big happening?"

"Qi Niang ran away, it's all my fault for being too careless. After coming back yesterday, I didn't care about her, but I didn't expect that she was no longer at home yesterday." Li Xiu stomped his feet angrily. Qi Niang's actions this time really made him angry. He even decided to wait until Qi Niang got back and confine her for three months.

"What? How could Qi Niang be so bold?" As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, the lady in the air rushed over and said. She had just received the news, but she didn't expect to hear such a shocking news.

"I didn't expect her to be so bold, but fortunately she had only been away for a day. As long as she whips up, she should be able to recover her!" Li Xiu gritted his teeth and then asked his servants to prepare horses.

"My husband must not!" But at this moment, the lady suddenly saw the wardrobe step forward and pull Li Xiudao, with an anxious look on her face.

"Why?" Li Xiu was stunned at this time. At this time, his mind was full of desire to recover Qi Niang, and other things were not under his consideration.

"Why are you confused? Qi Niang is an unmarried girl after all. There are not many people who know about her escape from the house without permission. But if the husband chased her out with such a big fanfare, wouldn't he be telling others about this? Moreover, the husband also knows that people's words are terrifying. If such a thing is spread, he knows that some boring idle people will be arranged. At that time, Qi Niang's reputation will be damaged. So you must be careful!" Qi Niang waved her servants around her and explained in a low voice.
