Seizing the Eldest Sister-in-Law: The Mad Marquis’ Relentless Pursuit Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Dislike

After returning to the mansion, Ling Xiao went to the stables as usual.

His footsteps paused slightly, Jiang Yao’s carriage was not there today.

“Where’s Madam?” he asked.

Jian’s face was puzzled, “Why does the Marquis always care about Madam?”

“Marquis, you forget, Miss Chen held a tea banquet today, Madam went to the banquet.”

Ling Xiao frowned: “She went by herself?”

“Of course she went by herself, what else?”

Jian nodded: “Madam went by herself, after all, Miss Chen invited her, it’s good for everyone in the Marquis’ mansion.”

Ling Xiao felt inexplicably reassured, he was currently settling accounts with the court officials who were colluding with the Lotus Sect, he was afraid that there would be more trouble, although he had arrested many of them, it was hard to say if the remaining members had been completely eradicated, he was worried that they would retaliate.

Although he was a man of action, he still had lingering fears after the assassination attempt at the hunting ground.

“Why are you saying this!”

Jian’s face stiffened, he thought this wasn’t a big deal.

“This subordinate is guilty!”

Ling Xiao was extremely annoyed, he suddenly felt that he was being too cautious.

But he didn’t move.

He turned around with a gloomy face and walked towards the stables: “Prepare the horse.”

“Ah…”

Yao almost screamed, but she covered her mouth.

“Don’t make a sound.”

She raised her head in fear and saw Mo Zichen’s face.

He had just arrived, and he was holding a half-broken porcelain vase.

Mo Zichen let go of the vase and immediately asked: “How did you end up here?”

Mo Zichen was on guard, he explained in a gentle voice: “This villa is the Emperor’s villa, the furnishings and decorations inside are all supplied by Mo, I happened to be delivering a batch of porcelain today, and I’m here to check the inventory.”

Mo Zichen pointed to the row of guest rooms behind him: “This place is remote and quiet, ordinary people who come to the villa for banquets wouldn’t come here, I heard the commotion and came over.”

Yao looked at the guest room behind her, there was a desk with stacks of account books, and there were also several boxes, filled with porcelain.

She finally felt relieved.

Mo Zichen said in a deep voice: “How did you end up here?”

“I was tricked, there’s no one else here!” Yao hurriedly asked.

“This is a wild area behind the villa, the terrain is complex, even if you want to escape, it’s difficult to reach the other side.”

“Could Mo Shu Jie have called for help!”

Mo Zichen was silent for a moment: “I’m afraid so.”

Suddenly, a violent voice came from the other side of the guest room: “You slut!”

He must not be far away, Tea had just said that he was coming, he probably didn’t leave this area at all, he’s going to search for me! He’s going to dig me out!

“I’ve already brought you here, how can I let you fly away?”

“Moreover, if I let you go now, you’ll definitely go and tell Ling Xiao, wouldn’t he definitely punish me?”

“After all, even if Ling Xiao hates you, he wouldn’t allow others to defile the Ling family’s reputation.”

“I must catch you, either I’ll make you behave, or I’ll kill you! Otherwise, there will be endless trouble!”

Mo Shu Jie was ruthless: “I will not let you live to see another day!”

“Yes!”

A group of followers received the order and immediately dispersed to search.

Yao’s face was a little pale, if Mo Shu Jie didn’t give up, she was afraid that she would really be trapped here.

Mo Zichen grabbed her wrist: “This place is hidden, let’s go hide first.”

Yao followed Mo Zichen’s footsteps.

Mo Shu Jie searched room by room, and soon he came to the room where Mo Zichen was staying.

“Gongzi, this seems to be Gongzi’s account book.”

Mo Shu Jie flipped through the account book, there was Mo Zichen’s signature on it, he cursed: “Damn Mo Zichen, you dare to steal my business! You said you suddenly saw the slut?”

“You have guts, you’ve been opposing me several times!”

“Wait until I turn you over, I’ll deal with you all! Keep searching!” Mo Shu Jie gritted his teeth.

The villa.

A horse galloped towards the villa.

The servants at the gate saw Ling Xiao from afar, and thought they were seeing things.

Until Ling Xiao pulled the reins, dismounted, and they hurriedly greeted him: “Marquis has arrived!”

“Lead the way.”

“Yes!”

The servant hurriedly led Ling Xiao inside.

Chen Shiyun was still in the pavilion, she asked Yulan in a low voice: “What’s going on over there?”

“Mo Shu Jie has already gone over, he must be doing something good with those two now, Miss ordered us not to interfere, so this servant didn’t dare to go over, but…”

Yulan frowned: “Tea hasn’t come back yet.”

Chen Shiyun didn’t care: “Maybe Mo Shu Jie is also there, let the two of them use each other.”

“For a slave like her, being able to climb up to a noble family is already a blessing from heaven.”

“Don’t worry about what’s going on over there, it has nothing to do with us, if they ask later, just say that Jiang Yao and Mo Shu Jie are having an affair, we have nothing to do with it.”

Chen Shiyun raised her chin, her heart was still full of innocence.

Suddenly, a maid rushed in: “Miss, the Ling Marquis has arrived.”

Chen Shiyun’s eyes lit up: “Really!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Xiao walked in.

Chen Shiyun hurriedly got up to greet him: “Marquis, why did you come? I thought you wouldn’t come.”

Ling Xiao responded casually: “I came by.”

He looked around, but he didn’t see Jiang Yao.

Chen Shiyun was overjoyed: “Come, have some tea, Jun Yin Zhen!”

She had specially inquired, he loved Jun Yin Zhen the most.

Ling Xiao scanned the room, he didn’t see Jiang Yao, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, he was a little impatient, and he directly asked: “Where’s Jiang Shi?”

Chen Shiyun’s smile froze slightly, why was he asking about Jiang Yao?

Was this woman worth a special question?

“Doesn’t he dislike her?”

Chen Shiyun forced a smile: “She just had her skirt wet by tea, she’s changing clothes now, she’ll be back in a while.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Er rushing in: “Miss Chen, Madam hasn’t come back for half an hour, this servant is a little worried…”

Chen Shiyun’s face stiffened slightly, she had forgotten about this lowly maid.

She had sent her away to get tea leaves, and when she came back, Jiang Yao had already been taken away.

She had told her to take Er to wait.

“Just now, the tea soaked Madam’s skirt, she went to take a bath and change, so she hasn’t come back for half an hour.”

Er immediately shook her head: “No, Madam takes a bath very quickly, she never washes for so long.”

“Moreover, Madam was just disgusted by Mo Shu Jie, she’s very anxious, she wouldn’t stay here to take a bath.”

As this thought flashed through her mind, Er suddenly remembered Mo Shu Jie, and then she realized that for half an hour, she hadn’t seen him either!

Ling Xiao’s eyes narrowed, he asked sharply: “Where’s Er?”
