Today, Xingxing was really scared.She feared that Little Black would be caught and turned into a braised dish. Thinking about how she seldom left the young lady’s side, the times she acted alone were few and far between. Yet during those rare moments, first someone plotted against her with a Purple Jade Bracelet, then she got pushed into the Lotus Pond. She hadn’t even bitten Princess Nanzhang, yet she was harmed like this. Little Black, however, took a vicious bite at Princess Nanzhang. Xingxing was afraid that when she saw Little Black again, it would already be someone else’s dish on the table. Earlier in her frantic search, she was near tears. The Duke Mansion was not yet her young lady’s territory, outside the Agarwood Pavilion, who knows where traps were hidden. It wasn’t time to bring Little Black to the Duke Mansion yet; it was still safer at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion. Xingxing thought of sending Little Black back to the Marquis Mansion. But seeing Little Black’s adorable face, Xingxing couldn’t bear to let it go. Afraid that Little Black was tired from running, Xingxing urged the maid to bring the food out early. The maid went to the small kitchen to hurry the food. The maids in the small kitchen looked at the braised pork and swallowed, muttering, "Even the Eldest Young Madam’s dog eats better than us." Humans were inferior to dogs. "Keep your voice down," the maid said. "Would you dare bite Princess Nanzhang like the Eldest Young Madam’s dog did?" the little maid asked. "..." "If I had such a loyal dog, I’d feed it good food every day too," the little maid said. "...you have a point." Back in the bamboo house, Su Jin sat down and poured herself some tea. After searching for Little Black all day, she was both tired and thirsty. The most concerning thing was the mental agony, worried that someone had caught Little Black. Besides the backyard in this mansion, no one knew where Princess Nanzhang’s people might be hiding. Xingxing placed the painting on the table. "Open it and see," Su Jin said. She knew this painting was sent by someone from the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion. In the painting was Zhao Xu’s mother. But she still didn’t know what Zhao Xu’s mother looked like. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⚑fire.net If she gave birth to such a handsome son, the mother’s looks couldn’t be lacking. But how beautiful she was was beyond her concept. Xingxing was also very curious. She stuffed a piece of red bean cake in her mouth and opened the painting. A piece of paper fluttered down, and as Xingxing walked toward Su Jin, she didn’t notice and stepped on it. When she moved her foot, there was a large shoe print on the paper. Xingxing, "..." Su Jin, "..." Su Jin held her forehead. Xingxing’s face turned red. She didn’t mean to step on it. She quickly squatted to pick up the paper. Rubbing it for a long time before the shoe print was gone. Su Jin looked at the painting, amazed by the beauty of the person in the painting. Elegant and noble. With a smile, her charm was fully revealed, enchanting the vast mountains and rivers. Su Jin looked at the painting and said, "Young Master Zhao’s eyes and brows do have some resemblance to the person in the painting." Xingxing glanced at it and said, "It really does look a bit alike." "But why do I feel that the young master’s eyes and brows resemble the person in the painting even more?" Xingxing said. "..." Su Jin stared at the painting with a blank expression for a long time. Then her expression became even more blank. Because she really found Xie Jingchen’s eyes and brows somewhat similar to the person in the painting. This person in the painting was Zhao Xu’s mother, she couldn’t possibly be Xie Jingchen’s mother too? "Being so beautiful, she should be easy to find," Xingxing said. Su Jin glanced at Xingxing and said, "The young lady in the painting is barely of age, Young Master Zhao is so much older, after over a decade, a person’s face and demeanor change a lot, and who knows if the painting has been beautified." People in ancient times didn’t live very long, this woman was originally from Nanliang. Drifting and ending up in Daqi, if she were so easy to find, the Right Minister of Nanliang wouldn’t still be searching, and wouldn’t let his son search personally. Searching thousands of miles for his mother, this filial piety is touching. Su Jin decided to help Zhao Xu find his mother. Xingxing looked at Su Jin and said, "Even the young master doesn’t know who his own mother is, should we help him look too?" "How to search?" Su Jin asked. She shook the painting in hand, "Having a painting is already like fishing for a needle in the ocean, your young master doesn’t even have a painting, that’s like fishing for water in the ocean." Xingxing, "..." Su Jin rolled up the painting, her gaze falling on the paper in Xingxing’s hand. That was also a painting, just unframed. On it was a drawing of a Jade Pendant. Xingxing, looking at the Jade Pendant pattern in her hand, said, "It looks kind of familiar." "Does it look like the one you raided?" Su Jin said with a blank face. "It really does," Xingxing had a bit of a joyful expression. "..." Su Jin held her forehead. This silly maid, robbed someone’s Jade Pendant and had them searching all over the Capital, yet she still looked clueless, really something. Xingxing rummaged through drawers, took out that Jade Pendant, and compared it with the paper, identical. "It came with the painting, this Jade Pendant must be very valuable," Xingxing said. "When Young Master Zhao returns to the Capital, we’ll sell this Jade Pendant to him." Su Jin, "..." "This is someone else’s Jade Pendant," Su Jin said with a twitching mouth. She couldn’t quite grasp how Xingxing’s mind worked. She suspected it was full of dead ends. Xingxing confidently said, "This Jade Pendant has already been raided by us, so it’s ours now." Su Jin, "..." Should she talk to her about how raiding is wrong? As a bandit, saying this truly was betraying her roots. Su Jin silently dismissed the thought. She raised her hand to rub her temples. Xingxing looked at her and said, "The Marquis always does it like this." "In the past, when the court sent people to eliminate us, the Marquis always caught them alive and sold them back to the court for ten taels of silver each." "Every year when money was short, the Marquis most hoped that the court would send troops to deliver money to us." Su Jin, "..." This godlike maneuver. Already rendered communication with the maid impossible. However, Xingxing was already caught up in another quandary, unable to extricate herself. Selling the Jade Pendant to Young Master Zhao for silver. Why not just directly rob Young Master Zhao? There was no rule in Qingyun Mountain that said a robbery could only happen once. Xingxing was stuck in a dilemma, unable to resolve it, until the maid brought food. Xingxing went over, took the lunchbox, and set out the food for Little Black. Little Black stood there motionless. Xingxing felt something was wrong. Little Black had never refused food before. Could it be that she scared it too much earlier, hurting Little Black’s feelings? Little Black was punishing itself by not eating to apologize to the young lady? Little Black was indeed considerate. Xingxing waved Little Black over, "Come and eat, it’s all your favorites." Little Black entered the room. Xingxing looked at Su Jin and said, "Young lady, Little Black won’t eat." Su Jin observed Little Black, seeing no injuries on it. Moreover, Little Black was energetic, not looking sick at all. "Maybe it just doesn’t enjoy the food," Su Jin said. "It’s all tasty food, how can it not enjoy it," Xingxing said. Although unlikely, Xingxing accepted this guess. Xingxing looked at Little Black and said, "I will make beggar’s chicken for you." Xingxing was about to head to the kitchen. Su Jin said, "Make two more." Xingxing nodded vigorously.
