Chapter 234 Looking for Her
As soon as Qin Xiaoning stepped into the courtyard, she felt nauseous and couldn't help but hold on to the door railing and retched.

"What's going on here?"

Songzhi was so frightened that he helped her sit down on the stone bench in the yard, and said with a worried look on his face, "Could it be that Juxian poisoned that snack?"

Just now at Jiangnu's place, facing the Zhao family's young master's attentiveness to Qin Xiaoning, Juxian's jealousy did not escape Songzhi's eyes.

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoning subconsciously looked around and said to Song Zhi angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

Songzhi also realized his mistake. Hearing this, he quickly covered his mouth and whispered in Qin Xiaoning's ear in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao praised you just now. I think Juxian is not happy about it."

Seeing Qin Xiaoning's gloomy eyes, Song Zhi stopped talking: "Let's not talk about this anymore. What happened to you? Why do you suddenly feel sick?"

She was just nauseous for a moment, but now she is back to normal. Qin Xiaoning said, "It's nothing. I don't feel uncomfortable now."

Songzhi was even more worried: "If you feel uncomfortable, go and see Madam Jiang. There are doctors in their family, so it's convenient to see a doctor."

"It's all right now, no need to bother me anymore."

The master and servant entered the house. Songzhi poured a cup of hot tea for Qin Xiaoning and couldn't help mentioning his future plans.

"After leaving the prince, are you really going to be alone?"

Listening to the maid's condescending words, Qin Xiaoning turned around and looked at her: "What? Do you want to get married?"

"I'm talking about you." Songzhi cleared his throat: "I think the young master of the Zhao family is interested in you."

Before Songzhi could finish, Qin Xiaoning interrupted her and said, "Stop thinking about this. Not to mention that I don't plan to find another man, even if I do, I won't find him."

Songzhi asked: "You didn't like it?"

Qin Xiaoning was amused and replied, "I won't do anything to steal someone's love."

Songzhi was not convinced: "That Juxian has feelings for the young master of the Zhao family, but he only has a casual eye on her. I can see clearly that he has no romantic feelings for that girl at all."

"Whether he has it or not, that's his business. It has nothing to do with us."

Songzhi curled his lips: "That's right, with the prince as your comparison, I'm afraid no matter how good a man is, it will be difficult for him to catch your eye."

Yes, there is no one in this world who can compare to Lu Ji.

Qin Xiaoning held her cheek with her hand and looked at the moon outside the window.

I wonder what Lu Ji is busy with now?
Are you still angry with her?

It has only been a month since he left. Judging from his temper, he must still be angry.

Qin Xiaoning guessed correctly. At this moment, Lu Ji, who was far away in the capital, was sitting alone in an inn. Like the little girl, the man was also thinking about his lover while looking at the moon.

In this inconspicuous and nameless little town, this small inn is very simple and can only provide a barely sufficient place to stay.

Ever since Qin Xiaoning left, Lu Ji has led his men south to look for her.

The little girl had never been far away from home. The only time I took her out was when I went south to patrol the city.

Therefore, Lu Ji judged that she would take this path, but after a month, she didn't gain anything.

The south has gradually entered the rainy season. The drizzle has been falling non-stop until now, when it has just stopped. A small crescent moon appears in the vast night sky, looking lonely and helpless.

The man took out the letter that the little girl left behind when she left from his arms.

He had read this letter over and over again so many times that the envelope had become slightly white from being worn out.

Lu Ji, I'm leaving, don't look for me, take care. She only left him these few words and then disappeared completely.

How cruel.

He is a complete ungrateful person.

In the past few days, Lu Ji has gradually calmed down from his initial rage, but when he saw these words, his heart couldn't help but churn again.

Once he catches her, he will definitely lock her in the house and refuse to believe a single word she says. Even if she cries to death, he will not show any mercy.

A heartless and ungrateful woman is not worth wasting his feelings on.

The man stared at the vast night outside, feeling very anxious, but after a while, he couldn't help but worry.

She had never left him, and if she suddenly ran out like this, she didn't know if she could protect herself. If she met a bad guy.
When the man thought of this, he became confused and dared not think further.

He rested his arms on the table, covered his face with his hands, and his eyes were sore.

It was not until there was a rhythmic knock on the shabby door that the man came out of his sorrow. He pressed his eyes hard with his hands and whispered to the door, "Come in."

Following the man's cold response, Desheng pushed the door open and walked in.

This small inn was too simple, with dark walls covered with mildew due to days of rain, a shabby little wooden bed, a broken desk, and no bright furnishings in the entire room.

The noble man seemed very out of place here.

"My Lord, there is news from the capital."

Ever since Qin Xiaoning ran away from home, the master has never smiled again. His face is so gloomy that it could stop a child from crying at night. Even Desheng, who has always been by his side, would avoid getting close to him if possible.

It was just that he had something urgent to report, so Desheng came to disturb him: "It was someone sent by the eldest son, and he is waiting outside."

Hearing this, Lu Ji withdrew his thoughts and said coldly, "Let someone in."

Desheng took the order, and in the blink of an eye, a traveler dressed in black stepped in, took out Lu Yu's letter from his arms, and whispered back: "There is a big change in the palace, the eldest son asked the prince to return to the capital as soon as possible."

After Lu Ji opened the letter and read it, his expression changed slightly: "I will go back now."

Desheng was about to accept the order and go to make arrangements, but he heard Lu Ji speak in a deep voice: "I will go back alone, you guys stay and continue to look for Ah Ning."

Desheng felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

Where can I find you in such a vast sea of ​​people?

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Desheng thought so in his heart, but he did not dare to show any impatience on his face. After thinking for a while, he replied: "My Lord, we have been looking for a month, and the other groups of people have not found any trace of Miss Qin. Why don't you inform the government offices in all provinces and counties and offer a large reward for posting a missing person notice?"

Before Desheng could finish, Lu Ji interrupted in a deep voice, "No, if you do that, it will put her in danger."

There is a huge reward for finding her, but there is no guarantee that the person who meets her may have bad intentions and plot against her.

Although Lu Ji was angry, he still put the little girl's safety as the most important thing.

Desheng had no choice but to obey the order: "Then I will take the people and stay here. Suifeng and Yingfeng should stay with the prince. This place is hundreds of miles away from the capital."

Before Desheng could finish, Lu Ji interrupted and said, "Just do as I say."

After saying that, he casually picked up the cloak and put it on, then strode out the door. The followers led the horses over, and the man jumped on the horse. He waved the silver whip in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the tall figure disappeared into the night.
