Chapter 142 A child is missing

"It's nothing, I just want to go out of the house tomorrow. I was so upset that I didn't buy anything when I went out the last time, so I wanted to explain that I would go out to make a complete reissue."

Seeing that Xi Ningyu was about to go out again, Huang felt a little disliked. He had caused some trouble last time. If he went out again this time, he would have done something wrong, but he would have been following him.

"It's better to let your close-fitting girl help you buy it, so that you can save you another trip."

"I will go to Shao Mansion another day, and I will buy the gift tomorrow. If the maid goes to buy it, it would be a pity..."

When Huang heard Xi Ningyu's words, he had to nod and agreed. It was easy to say anything else, but it was necessary to go to Shao Mansion, so it would be difficult for the servants to purchase it.

"Yes, but be careful when going out tomorrow, don't let those pickled things get entangled, or you can give some servants to take them out.

You can not only help you move something, but also protect you carefully. How can you see?"

Huang thought about it and was still worried, so he had to send a few servants from the mansion to Xi Ningyu to call.

Xi Ningyu didn't want to receive this kind of love, let's talk about it. Some of the places she was going to go out were not known to the people in Xi'an.

Following a few tails, doing things is annoying.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'll buy some close-fitting items tomorrow, which is inconvenient!"

Seeing that Xi Ningyu had refused, Huang snorted coldly and said, "Then let it go." He then took a few people and Madam Yan who was lying on the ground and humming.

Today, Xi Ningyu beat Madam Yan and soon spread throughout the Xi Mansion. No one expected that the second lady who had just returned had the courage to deal with the "Female King of Hell".

And after being beaten, the lady did not blame the second lady. She heard that she had brought Madam Yan back, but when she woke up, she scolded Madam Yan.

This time, the mansion looked at Xi Ningyu differently. If anyone else looks at this second lady in the future, he needs to think about it carefully.

Xi Ningyu didn't care about what happened today when the mansion looked at today's affairs. The next day, Xi Ningyu didn't even have to eat rice early in the morning.

After Qingying boiled the medicine she had caught yesterday for Madam Liang, Xi Ningyu watched her drink it and told her to rest for a while. Then she took a few girls out of the mansion and headed towards the dilapidated courtyard where Chen Zheng and the others lived.

Xi Ningyu came along the way and bought a lot of supplies at the same time. He had to eat, wear and bring. When he arrived at the entrance of Chen Zheng's children's yard, Qingying and others were all full of their arms.

"Chen Zheng, the lady is here. Why don't you come out and greet me!"

Before Qingqiong could enter the yard, he opened his throat and called Chen Zheng out.

The sound of Qingqiong fell, and a group of children in the room heard that Xi Ningyu had arrived in person. They ran out happily one by one, picked up things, and wiped the tables and chairs in the yard quickly.

Xi Ningyu has never had a chance to come and see her since she came last time. She just asked Qingqiong and Madam Xiao to come twice. Now she is doing it very well. Qingqiong and Madam Xiao have done what she has told her.

Although the walls have not been repaired, the house still looks a little dilapidated. However, the decorations in the yard and the house seem to have been sorted out and worn out, but fortunately they are too tidy.

In addition to the new beddings replaced everywhere, and the last time Qingqiong asked these children to buy simple wooden beds, so it looked a little more regular.

"Chen Zheng, Liang Bao, Liang Ying!"

Xi Ningyu felt naturally happy when he saw these three more tidy than last time he saw them. So he greeted these three little ones with joy.

"Sister Xi, you are here. We all miss you so much and always look forward to you coming and seeing you, but every time Sister Qingqiong and Madam Xiao come, you will never come!"

The youngest Liangying pouted and complained to Xi Ningyu.

"Haha, isn't this coming? It's not easy for me to come out, so don't be picky!"

"That won't work, what should we do if we miss you?"

"What should I do? Otherwise, I will take you to my place of residence. If you are not afraid of the big tiger, please follow me!"

"Ah, there are big bugs. If you don't go, it will hurt if you bite people!"

Xi Ningyu was having fun teasing Liangying, and the people on the side were laughing happily.

After dividing the things I brought, let Liangbao and Liangying lead the other children to play while playing, Xi Ningyu pulled Chen Zheng and asked carefully.

Since Xi Ningyu saw these children last time, he prescribed a prescription and made medicine for them to take. Unfortunately, two of them were still seriously ill and could not be rescued, but the rest of them were gradually recovered except those two.

Therefore, today Xi Ningyu came, except for three or five people who were not very convenient to get out of bed. The rest were all lively, and Xi Ningyu also asked about the situation of the children like Chen Zheng in detail.

He also explained some other things, and Chen Zheng responded one by one.

The two were talking, and a group of people came from outside the yard. They made a lot of noise, which naturally attracted Xi Ningyu's attention.

"Oh! I didn't expect that I could see such a beautiful little girl here. Brothers, I'm lucky today, isn't it? Hahaha!"

He looked like a man who took the lead and said to Xi Ningyu.

The people on Xi Ningyu who were present frowned. Could it be that something happened again?

Especially Madam Xiao, she was speechless at this moment. Why did she seem to have something to do whenever she went out? If she continued like this, I was afraid that the lady would be even less popular in the house, especially those who couldn't see her, would definitely make things difficult for her.

"Who are you? What's the matter here?"

Qingying saw that the person coming was not like a serious person, and she was afraid that he would be like last time. So before a few people could approach, she stood up and stopped him and asked.

"Oh, don't be surprised, girls, we guys are not bad guys. But there are some things to do when we come here today.

But this is a place where a group of little beggars live together. How come you guys are here?"

Seeing that the other party did not answer his question, Qingying asked about him instead. So she became more wary and looked at the people in front of her, her eyes flashing with cold light.

"Oh! I haven't been to inspect for several days, but I didn't expect that this small broken courtyard would have changed!"

A man behind suddenly said in surprise.

As soon as this man spoke, the other men only looked around, and they were all amazed!

"May I ask the girl, do you know how this yard has become so neat and clean? And, what are you doing here?"

Even though he was amazed, the leader seemed to realize that it might be related to the women in front of him.

So he hurriedly asked out of his own responsibilities.

"Boss, take these women back. Could it be human traffickers who deceived these children to sell them!"

The leader also corrected his expression when he heard what he said behind him.

"I am working for the Simen of Beijing, named Xinda. I don't know what the girl is doing again. Please report it to the truth, otherwise I will not blame us for taking the few back to the yamen for questions!"

When Qingying heard that it was a member of the official family, she felt a little relieved. However, it was also strange that the four gates of Beijing were responsible for the security in the city. Why would she come to this yard for now?

So Qingying replied, "We are just servants of the merchant family, and my lady is kind-hearted. Seeing that these children are poor, she often comes to help some food and daily necessities.

But why are the officials coming here at this moment? There seems to be nothing happening nearby!"

Seeing Qingying say this, the Simen Titong, who is home to Xinda, was obviously moved.

Few ladies from merchants and officials have such a heart. It is really rare to come here to help these children.

Even the people following Xinda showed admiration.

"Oh! We are so rude, and I don't know if it's the little Bodhisattva here. I don't know if I can recommend it. We are also here for official business and have no malice. I hope the girl can be relieved!"

Xi Ningyu over there was no one to avoid Xinda's words.

So Chen Zheng asked Xin Da and others to come in.

"We are a servant from the Fourth Government Office of Beijing, so we have a greeting to the lady!"

"I dare not, thank you for your hard work, I'm just wondering what you are doing here at this time?"

When Xinda saw the rich lady in front of her talking to her and others, she did not talk to her and others with ordinary contempt and arrogance. She also talked to her and others with gentleness and politeness. She couldn't help but feel grateful.

Although Xinda is a tolerant, in fact, their career is not very popular. In addition, the servants are just inferior and ordinary wealthy families look down on them, let alone the descendants of officials.

Now that the lady in front of her was treated so politely, Xinda and others felt very happy. So she talked to Xi Ningyu and became even more polite.

"Miss, I came here to check it out because several children were lost nearby today.

Although these abandoned children are beggars, they cannot just let them be harmed!"

“What the big brother said is very true.

But I don’t know what’s going on here nearby, so why don’t you let Chen Zheng say that there will be suspicious people nearby today.”

After Xi Ningyu finished speaking, he turned to Chen Zheng and asked, "Chen Zheng, have you seen strangers appearing nearby recently, especially near this yard, are there?"

Chen Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head.

However, Chen Zheng turned his head and asked at the group of beggars: "Have you seen people who are not residents nearby recently? Especially those who do not look very good people in sneaky?"

"Yes! Brother Chen, yesterday and the day before yesterday, there were a few men who were not nearby wandering around here."

When Xinda heard this, he immediately became excited and asked, "Brother, then you might tell me what those people look like? And, how do they dress?"

The little guy who answered Chen Zheng's question just now scratched his head, thought for a while and suddenly said, "Oh--I remembered that those men had knives behind their waists. I was afraid of seeing them, so I didn't dare to get close, but I saw that the knives didn't look ordinary, all with golden barbs!"

Seeing the little guy say this, Xinda and others are naturally happy because they ask about the news. However, Xi Ningyu frowned more and more as he hears it. These people came from nearby, and Xinda also said that there was a child missing.

It would be unsafe if the yard is so popular. If it is caught by someone, it would be awful.

But we can't let the government guard these children specifically because of them. These are all abandoned children, and I believe the government will not value them, and we are afraid that they will not take the blame even if we pay money.

Thinking of this, Xi Ningyu frowned even tighter.

After Xinda and others learned some news from the other children.

He turned to Xi Ningyu and said, "Thank you, Miss today, otherwise we would have to go to a lot of detours!"

Xi Ningyu was worried about the safety of these children and no longer had the interest in speaking. So after dealing with a few simple sentences, he thought about a solution to the safety of these children.

Xinda and others summarized the news they learned, and then came to say goodbye to Xi Ningyu.

"Ms. Xi, I will go back to the yamen first. Thank you for your help today and these children. I hope the lady will go back soon and be careful on the way!
