Chapter 83 Can’t find it

Not long after, a maid came to report that the bride's sedan chair had entered the alley. So the women were divided into two groups, the younger ones went to the front to watch the excitement, and the older ones still sat in the hall, just waiting for the feast to start.

Meng Qi took Meng Xiu's hand and walked out. She didn't want to watch the fun, she just wanted to try her luck and see if she could see Hong Zhe. It would be great if she could see him, so that she wouldn't have to ask where the Hong family's carriage was parked later.

When she first came, she did not see any female members of the Hong family. She heard that Mrs. Hong was sick because Mr. Hong San had not agreed to let her see the fortune teller. Naturally, the grandmothers and young ladies of the family could not come out at this time. Mr. Hong San came with his father and eldest brother, and because he was not feeling well recently, he did not ride a horse but a carriage.

Meng Qi was so happy when she heard the news she had inquired about it that she almost jumped for joy. Did this mean that God was helping her?

The sky gradually darkened, and after the lively wedding ended, the wedding banquet at the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion officially began.

Meng Qi ate absent-mindedly and kept looking out the door. She had just found a servant girl under the flower gate and gave her copper coins to ask her where the carriage of Baron Bo's mansion was parked. Why hadn't she replied yet?

Fortunately, when everyone finished eating and stood up to walk out, the girl came over and whispered a few words to Meng Qi, who nodded happily. Meng Juan stood behind Liu and looked at Meng Qi's nervous and excited look, and nudged Liu with her hand.

Liu turned her head to look, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, then she turned her head to look at Wang who was talking to someone with a dignified look, and said silently: Idiot.

Su Qing failed to persuade Meng Qi to change her clothes. Meng Qi kept wearing the slightly bloated clothes. She was holding her bag and thinking about how to tell Liu Mama what happened today. Hua Rui came over and said, "The wife of the prince asked you to take her carriage for a while. Maybe she wanted to ask you about what happened with the eldest lady of the Shenjun Palace just now."

Su Qing nodded, spoke a few words to Yuan Dong, and then followed Hua Rui into Wang's carriage.

The carriages of each family went out one after another, and the alley of Pingxi Marquis Mansion, which was crowded just now, soon had only a few carriages left.

Wang first asked Su Qing about the situation at that time. When she was about to ask something else, she found that her carriage had not moved. Su Qing hurriedly lifted the curtain and asked the coachman what was going on.

At this time, Yuan Dong came over with a pale face and shaking hands. Seeing Wang leaning over to look at this side, he knelt down and said, "Madam, the fourth young lady, she, is missing."

"what?"

"what?"

Wang and Su Qing said at the same time. Wang took Su Qing's hand and hurriedly got off the carriage. She almost staggered to Yuan Dong's side and asked sternly, "What do you mean it's gone? What happened?"

At this time, members of the Meng family who were in other carriages also got off, and the women from other families who had not left yet also gathered around.

"I have been following the Fourth Young Lady. Just now when we left the second door, the Fourth Young Lady said that her handkerchief had fallen in the room and asked me to go look for it. When I came back, I couldn't see the Fourth Young Lady anymore. I thought she had gotten into the carriage, but I didn't see her."

"Where's Yuanyue? Isn't she with the Fourth Miss?"

At this time, Yuan Yue was almost dragged over by Hua Rui, kneeling on the ground and saying incoherently, "I followed the Fourth Young Lady, and have been following her all the time. Just when I was about to get on the carriage, the Fourth Young Lady did not let me get on, and told me to wait with Yuan Dong. I dared not disobey, so I had to stand there and wait. When Yuan Dong came back, I lifted the curtain, and the Fourth Young Lady was not in the carriage at all."

"You said you saw the fourth young lady get on the car?" Song asked coldly.

"Yes, I helped the Fourth Young Lady up, but she asked me to keep an eye on Yuan Dong and make sure she didn't lose him, so I helped her into the car and kept looking at the door. No, I didn't pay attention to the inside of the car."

Wang's body swayed back and forth, and Guo Madam quickly held her up. The wife of Pingxi Marquis hurried over, apologizing while arranging for the servants to look for her.

"It's okay. You haven't even walked out of the second door yet. Maybe she saw something or has something urgent to do. It would be better to go in and wait." Lady Pingxi Hou came over and helped Wang walk into the courtyard.

Wang felt that the days were like years. She felt refreshed just now, but now she felt extremely heavy. She could only see the wife of Pingxihou opening and closing her mouth, but she could not hear anything. Mother Guo gently stroked Wang's back while looking out anxiously.

Su Qing looked at Yuan Dong and Yuan Yue kneeling on the ground, and sighed in her heart that she was lucky to be called to Wang's car, otherwise she would be kneeling there at this time. Regardless of whether Meng Qi could find them or not, Yuan Dong and Yuan Yue were the unlucky ones. The only difference was whether they were banished from Qin Garden or sold.

Su Qing didn't think Meng Qi was kidnapped or had an accident. First, this was the Marquis's Mansion, so the security measures wouldn't be that bad. Second, they hadn't even left the second gate yet, and they were all female relatives. Third, she didn't let Yuan Yue get on the car, and she ordered Yuan Dong to find a handkerchief, which was too abnormal. With Meng Qi's personality, she wouldn't care about a handkerchief, let alone a pearl hairpin.

Su Qing looked up at Wang, whose face looked pale under the light. It must have been a pain in Wang's heart to have raised such a girl.

Then she looked at Song, who also looked anxious, and Jiang stood behind her, constantly serving tea and water. On the other hand, Liu and Liu were much more relaxed, especially Liu, who leaned over and said something to Meng Juan. Meng Juan wanted to laugh but seemed to hold it back because she thought it was not the right occasion. When she looked up, she saw Su Qing looking at her, and the corners of her mouth that had not yet lowered showed that she was in a good mood.

Su Qing and Meng Juan looked at each other and then quickly lowered their eyes.

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, Mother Wu came in hurriedly and whispered a few words in Song's ear. Song frowned at first, then nodded.

"It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. My Lord just had someone tell us that Sister Qi is outside with her grandfather. Because she had just had two glasses of wine, she felt heavy in the car and got out of the car because everyone was not there yet. She walked outside in a daze. Look, she made everyone worried. I'll ask this girl to come and apologize to Madam later."

Upon hearing this, the wife of Marquis Pingxi let out a long sigh. No matter what happened, as long as the person was fine, it was fine. If something really happened in her family, it would make her an enemy.

At this time, all the other families had been sent away by the wife of the Prince of Pingxi, leaving only the women of the Meng family of the Huainan Marquis's Mansion. The group was sent to the carriage by the women of the Yue family and drove out of the alley of the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion.

------

Mother Guo held Wang's hand tightly and felt that Wang was cold all over. "Something must have happened. It can't be that simple." Wang murmured.

"My dear madam, as long as the fourth young lady is fine, nothing else matters. Mother Wu said she has found it, so it has been found. Nothing will happen, don't worry, don't worry." Mother Guo said as she rubbed Wang's back.

Wang leaned her head against Guo's mother's arms, tears streaming from her eyes. "I'm so nervous, my eyelids are twitching, I feel like something is wrong, I'm scared."

Mother Guo didn't dare to say anything else. She could only gently stroke Wang's back, thinking about how Song had just gritted her teeth and forced a smile while talking to the wife of Marquis Pingxi.

Something must have happened, and it must be a big thing.

All the maids and old women who went to the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion today were called to the back room of Songhe Garden. From the back room, separated by a courtyard, one could only vaguely hear the loud scolding of men and the crying of women.
