Chapter 217 Sensible child
Yang Jianwu looked disgusted and took a few steps back in cooperation.
"No way... I'll be watched wherever I go... And don't be so arrogant! I'm not afraid you'll change your mind! If you do, I absolutely won't keep you! I can live a wonderful life on my own!"
"Forehead……"
That makes so much sense... Which of the Flower Moon Pavilion, Plain Face Pavilion, and Treasure Pavilion doesn't generate income that makes the world envious, not to mention the city of Cloud City... Compared to that, it seems that apart from the Emperor, no one is truly worthy of Sword Dance... No, I must improve myself and not fall too far behind!
Otherwise, you won't even know if you're disliked later...
"Boom boom boom!"
"Enter!"
Songyin brought over the meal.
"Miss, Meng'er is all ready to go. Shall we bring her up?"
"No need. Send her some food and arrange for a nanny to stay with her for now. I'll go find her after I finish eating. Also, send someone to find Meng'er's house quickly. I heard she has a grandmother at home, so we can't let anything happen to her."
"Yes, this servant takes her leave!"
"Come on, let's eat!"
Mo Ye and Pu Yangxuan sat down, one serving rice and the other serving porridge. Yang Jianwu found the scene amusing, thinking back to when she first met Mo Ye, how much she hated him.
"Brother Ye, have you noticed that your rice tastes especially delicious when you serve it to yourself?"
Mo Ye thought about it carefully, but it seemed like there wasn't one... How should he answer Xiao Wu'er? Before Mo Ye could come up with an answer, Yang Jianwu continued.
"You've become much more independent lately since you haven't had Hong Xiao's guards to serve you!"
Really? The reason he doesn't let them serve him is because some people don't like having subordinates around; he's forced to do it himself... but he can't say that...
So Mo Ye answered against his will, "It does smell quite good."
Puyang Xuan rolled his eyes. "Brother, you're really going all out to avoid being kicked out!"
"Little Wu'er, I plan to return to the capital tomorrow to report to my father. Are you and Ah Xuan also going back to the capital?"
Yang Jianwu chewed on his chopsticks and pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother Ye, I want to go to Elder Tie to clear my meridians!"
"Sure, but could you wait until I get there before you call? It'll be more reassuring to have someone else there to keep watch, don't you think, Ah Xuan?"
When it comes to Yang Jianwu's safety, Puyang Xuan naturally sided with Mo Ye.
"Yes, yes, Sword Dance, shall we go with Mo Ye? With him and Old Tie by our side, we'll have multiple layers of protection!"
Yang Jianwu was somewhat wary of the mysterious person who had escaped with Nangong Yan, and was thinking about improving her skills as quickly as possible.
"Why don't you go back to the capital to report first, and then have Xiaobai pick you up? You can ride Xiaobai alone and reach Anshun in two days at most!"
“Alright, then have Xiaobai wait for me at Huashuiyuefang in the capital in ten days.”
"it is good!"
Ancient transportation was troublesome. Short distances were fine, but for longer distances, even the fastest horseback ride would take ten days to half a month...
There are small motorcycles in the space... but the number of medical points is astronomical, and it's unknown when we'll be able to collect them all... Fortunately, I accidentally saved Xiaobai and got a high-level flying tool for free, which makes it convenient to go anywhere.
After finishing her meal, Yang Jianwu went to see Meng'er. The little girl, who had finished washing up, looked much more energetic, and her eyes gradually brightened.
"Meng'er, just stay here and rest assured. I've already sent someone to look for your family, and we'll have news soon."
"Thank you sister."
"The older sister who takes care of you is named Songyin. If you can't find me, you can ask her for help."
"Sister, don't worry about Meng'er. Meng'er is a big girl and can take good care of herself. I've already caused you a lot of trouble, so I can't let you worry anymore."
Yang Jianwu habitually stroked Meng'er's hair. "Meng'er, your grandma has raised you so well. It's rare for a family to raise such a sensible child."
Meng'er panicked and quickly explained, "My grandfather was the village teacher. Before he passed away, he often taught me to be grateful and repay kindness."
Yang Jianwu's lips curled up slightly, "You have a good elder. Now that your grandfather has passed away, you should remember his teachings and continue to be a sensible child so as not to let him down."
"Yes, Sister Yang, Meng'er remembers."
"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. If you need anything, just ask Songyin."
"Yes, Sister Yang."
After Yang Jianwu left, Meng'er breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The next day, Mo Ye set off back to the capital. If Yang Jianwu and Pu Yangxuan were to return to Anshun on Xiaobai, it would only take a day. Going back too early would mean waiting for Mo Ye, so it would be better to stay in Hanlingjun for a few days before returning, and also to look for Meng'er's family.
The Grand Preceptor targeted families in border areas. Since the number of villages within a radius of several hundred miles was limited, it wasn't difficult to find them with a large manpower, and they were found quickly.
“Miss, according to Meng’er’s description, we’ve found a house that matches the description, but…”
"But what?"
"I heard from the village chief that the old woman cried every day after her granddaughter went missing, and she passed away within two days. The villagers buried her together. Now the house is empty. I wonder if it is Meng'er's house."
