“Zhao Zhan, who is it?”
“It’s Chen Xiaolang. ” Zhao Zhan entered the kitchen and took out the letter in his arms. ”He stole it at Qian Conreng’s door. ”
“Just skim through it. If it’s for Qian Conreng, we’ll stop reading it and find a way to return it to him. If it’s for my nanny, we’ll just take a look at the content and pretend that we don’t know it exists. We shouldn’t get Chen Xiaolang involved.”
Zhao Zhan nodded and opened the envelope. He quickly glanced at it and handed it over. “It’s from the Lin family for Madam Qin.
“It seems like Madam Qin got Qian Conreng to contact Beicheng.”
Yue Jiaojiao took the letter and read it carefully.
“It should be after I was separated from her. She couldn’t find me, so she wrote a letter to Bei City to ask for help. When this letter was sent to the Lin family, the people who went to Yang City to look for me hadn’t sent the news back yet.
“But it also said that my uncle asked my cousin to bring people out to find me. They should be here in about half a month.
“I don’t know what’s going on with the Lin family, but if they really asked people to search for you village by village, it would be hard to hide the news. After all, I’m an outsider who appeared in the village for no reason.”
A cousin?
When Zhao Zhan heard this form of address, he was on edge. “We had originally planned to go to Qian Conreng’s house after the New Year to find Madam Qin. In this case, should we not let Madam Qin know about your well-being for the time being?”
“I have to let her know. ” Yue Jiaojiao shook her head, folded the letter in her hand, and stuffed it back into the envelope.
“Madam Qin knows that the Yue family can’t be relied on. That’s why she wrote a letter to the Lin family when she couldn’t find me. If I don’t appear, based on Madam Qin’s concern for me, she’ll keep urging the Lin family to send someone to keep finding me.
“Moreover, I haven’t seen that person from the Lin family for many years. It might be easy for me to lie to him, but it’s basically impossible to lie to Madam Qin.
“Zhao Zhan, I’ll go back to my room and write a letter first. Later, I’ll ask Chen Xiaolang to find a way to deliver the letter to Madam Qin. After the New Year, I’ll go and see her. There are guests at home today, it’s not appropriate for us to rashly leave everyone behind.”
“Alright, I’ll let them know of your whereabouts.”
As he spoke, Zhao Zhan took the empty bowl from Yue Jiaojiao’s hands and washed it in the sink. After seeing her return to her room, he took the hot water and went to the front hall.
“Zhao Zhan, you’ve come at the right time.” Doctor Zhou had sobered up by now. When he saw Zhao Zhan, he said, “I’ll be going back to town with Chen Xiaolang later.”
“What happened? Doctor Zhou, why are you in such a hurry?”
“Geez, Zhao Zhan. Fang Tianliu was still a little tipsy and couldn’t walk straight. Chen Xiaolang is here. We can’t let her spend the New Year alone at home. I just happened to want to go back with Chen Xiaolang. She can take care of him on the way.”
“Fang Tianliu, please be careful with your words!”
Chen Xiaolang looked around but did not say anything.
Even if Doctor Zhou really wanted to say something, he would not mind at all. After all, before he had met Zhao Zhan and the others, Doctor Zhou was the only person in the entire mountain gaze who was willing to be kind to him other than his mother.
“Although I don’t like Chen Xiaolang, I admire Doctor Zhou more,” Fang Tianliu said as he turned to look at Zhao Zhan. “Zhao Zhan, later on, let Chen Xiaolang drive my carriage and bring Doctor Zhou back. The muddy road is really difficult to walk on. When the shop opens, I’ll let Chen Xiaolang drive the carriage to pick us up in advance.”
