Chapter 485 Are they all back?
The night faded away unnoticed, and the sky turned pale. The two of them talked in detail almost all night, and it was almost dawn when Xu Zize sent Jing Chunxi back.
The faint morning light shone through the sparse leaves onto the two of them. Both had tiredness on their faces, but a firm light shone in their eyes. A night of conversation brought their hearts closer, and it seemed that there was nothing that needed to be hidden.
It also made them more clear about the next direction. Xu Zize's expression also seemed particularly calm, and his eyes looked at Jing Chunxi even more scorching. He protected Jing Chunxi tightly until he sent her back to the yard safely and watched the maid take her into the house before turning around and leaving.
Jing Chunxi slept through the afternoon again, still a bit groggy when she woke up. Sunlight streamed through the window lattice onto the bed, casting dappled shadows. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up, feeling weak and frail. She'd learned her lesson this time.
She stretched, trying to dispel the fatigue in her body, but found that she was reluctant to leave the warm bed.
"Master, we are back. Sister Chuntao is so excessive that she doesn't allow us to come in to see you. I have already told you that we won't disturb the young lady." As soon as she sat up, still a little dazed, Frosting jumped in from outside.
Seeing her was like seeing a long-lost relative, which made Jing Chunxi feel much better. He missed her a lot after not seeing her for a few days.
As expected, there were traces of tears on Tang Shuang's face. She rushed in and hugged Jing Chunxi's arm, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.
Her movements were a little clumsy, but her concern and longing for her were so real that Jing Chunxi couldn't help laughing.
Jing Chunxi smiled: "You are back!"
Her voice was a little lazy, yet full of tenderness as she let the frosting's face stick to her.
Sugar Frost's tears suddenly welled up again, and she choked and said, "Master, I miss you so much. You have been worried about me these days." There was a sobbing tone in her voice, and tears were rolling in her eyes, but she couldn't stop them.
"Miss, please ignore her. As soon as she entered the yard and heard you were in the house, she started yelling and trying to rush in. She was crying so hard, her face and mouth full of tears and snot. It was disgusting." Chuntao was not polite at all when she criticized Tang Shuang. She stood at the door, her hands on her hips, looking very disappointed in her son.
This was indeed the kind of indifference that Tang Shuang should have shown, but it was also a true expression of her feelings. When Tang Shuang heard Chun Tao's words, she immediately retorted, "Sister Chun Tao, I just missed the young lady so much. It's not as disgusting as you say." As she spoke, she wiped the tears from her face with her hand, but the more she wiped, the more tears flowed.
"Luckily Chuntao stopped me, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten enough sleep and would have definitely cursed."
Frosting finally found comfort in the young lady's emotions, and her tears finally stopped dripping. She also stood aside in a proper manner.
Chun Tao helped Jing Chunxi get dressed and then helped her with her makeup. She skillfully arranged Jing Chunxi's clothes and then picked up a comb to gently comb her long hair.
As she combed her hair, she said, "Miss, you slept so soundly. If you sleep any longer, you might even miss lunch."
Jing Chunxi asked curiously, "Are all the people back?" There was a hint of expectation in her voice, and she was very concerned about the situation of others. After all, it was not a good idea to always keep people outside.
Chuntao paused for a moment, then whispered, "Only Xiaoman and Jiuyue are left. Although Uncle Seventh said they will be fine, I'm still a little worried." There was a hint of regret in her tone, and her eyes dimmed.
Frosting sighed and whispered, "Yes, Master, Xiao Man and Jiu Yue haven't returned yet. I don't know how they are doing now." Her voice was filled with worry, and her eyes were full of anxiety. They were all people who usually served the young lady, so naturally they hoped that they would return safely and as soon as possible.
"And my eldest and second brothers haven't come back yet. Sister, don't forget to save them. You have to tell big brother to help them." Little Sweetie pouted and rushed in without knowing when. Using the same method as Sugar Frosting, she also shook Jing Chunxi's arm vigorously, her big eyes filled with tears, wanting to cry but unable to.
Her face was flushed, obviously she had just cried. Her eyes were full of grievance, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and her voice was sobbing, it made people feel distressed.
Little Sweetie felt incredibly aggrieved. At daybreak, so many people swarmed into the courtyard, and she didn't recognize any of them. She didn't see her brother, Sniff, or her older brothers. They all surrounded her sister, ignoring her. She was devastated.
Her small hands tightly grasped Jing Chunxi's sleeves, as if she was looking for a little support. Tears welled up in her eyes, but fortunately she didn't burst into tears. Facing Jing Chunxi's eyes, her face was full of expectation and pleading.
Jing Chunxi looked at her, his heart aching, and he quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, with big brother here, Tianbao's big brother and second brother will be fine. We will rescue them soon. Not only them, but also the people who were abducted. We will all be rescued."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Tianbao's tears stopped. She raised her head, looked at Jing Chunxi with her big watery eyes, and said seriously, "Really? Sister, you can't lie to me."
Jing Chunxi nodded and said softly: "Of course, when has my sister ever lied to you?"
The body finally stopped swaying, and the little sweet boy sat down on the chair obediently, his face facing Jing Chunxi, with no intention of leaving.
"Are the two sons of the Tao family back too?" Jing Chunxi asked again. Brothers Chengrui and Chengzhi must be eager to see their cousin! It's time to come back.
Chun Tao helped Jing Chunxi put on the butterfly hairpins, then slightly straightened her head so that she could look directly at herself in the bronze mirror. Then she said, "Yes, they walked through the door right after we arrived. They didn't even have time to rest before Master Tao called them to the front yard."
Jing Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're back! I was just worried that something might happen to them out there."
"Qingfeng also sent a message saying that Master Tao asked the young lady to get up and eat something before going to the front yard. I'm afraid Master Tao has something to discuss."
Jing Chunxi looked at her beautiful self in the mirror and felt very satisfied. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look later."
"What's delicious?" Today she was wearing a pink dress with a white thin jacket with a fur collar on the outside, and a pair of suede boots on her feet, looking fresh and neat.
Jing Chunxi jumped a few times on the spot and felt much more energetic. Her movements were brisk and agile, and her previous fatigue was dispelled by this refreshing outfit.
Tang Shuang, who had been waiting nearby, quickly interrupted, "Master, today we're having meat dumplings filled with pork and shrimp. They're delicious. Master Tao is worried that Master won't be full, so he asked the cook to cook an extra bowl of lychee meat. He said it's crispy and sweet, and Master will definitely like it."
Tang Shuang's voice couldn't hide her excitement. Master Tao's concern for his master made her happier than she was to have a good meal herself. After saying this, Tang Shuang ran outside to pass on the message. Her figure flashed across the yard, leaving behind a burst of brisk footsteps.
Chuntao seemed to be in a bad mood, and suddenly asked in a sullen voice: "Miss, Master Tao plans to take you out? How long will he be gone?" Chuntao's voice was full of worry, and her eyes were full of uneasiness.
"what!"
This question made Jing Chunxi a little confused, and he had no idea why Chuntao said that.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Master, you don't know, Master Tao said that he would wait until you came back to give us Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. He said that and it made Sugar Frosting drool."
"But, no matter where you go, please take me with you! Tang Shuang and I have been feeling anxious after not seeing you for a few days. We don't want to leave you anymore." Chun Tao said in an almost pleading tone, her eyes full of anticipation. She clasped her hands tightly together, as if waiting for Jing Chunxi's answer.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Xu Zize in my heart. The maids just came back, why was I telling them about this kind of thing? Didn't I know they would be worried!
Jing Chunxi secretly complained in her heart, but she couldn't show it. She sighed slightly and said softly, "I may be away for two or three days. You guys take good care of Xiao Tianbao at home and don't miss me."
I agreed with Xu Zize last night that the food, weapons, and drugs must be released as soon as possible. Therefore, in addition to Jian'an City, we also need to go out to several counties in Jian'an County. When going out for such a secret matter, we naturally cannot bring Chuntao and Tangshuang with us. July and September are enough for us.
She raised her head, saw Chuntao looked depressed, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible."
"Why is the master leaving again? That won't do. Will he be kidnapped again?"
Sugar Frosting came in with a basin of water. Overhearing their conversation, she became anxious again. Almost unconsciously, she placed the basin on the shelf. Her movements were a bit flustered, and a lot of warm water splashed out, spilling onto the shelf and even dripping onto the floor, making a few crisp dripping sounds.
She raised her head, her eyes wide open, her face full of worry and anxiety, and her words were even louder, as if she wanted to shout out all the anxiety in her heart.
"Tang Shuang, can you speak? Can you speak? What could possibly happen if the young lady goes out with Master Tao?" Chun Tao's face suddenly changed with anger when she heard Tang Shuang's words. She was already somewhat dissatisfied with Tang Shuang's recklessness, and now she could no longer tolerate it.
She walked over, reached out and grabbed Tang Shuang's ear, twisted it hard, and then lifted her up. Although Chun Tao's actions were a bit rough, it was more out of helplessness towards Tang Shuang and worry for Jing Chunxi. She glared at Tang Shuang, her eyes full of reproach: "You girl, why are you so speechless? The young lady has finally come back, and you are here talking nonsense again. What if you scare her?"
"Master, help! Chuntao wants to kill me!" Tangshuang was twisted by Chuntao and screamed. Her voice was sharp and high, and she sounded both aggrieved and pitiful.
She struggled, using her hands to pry Chuntao's hands apart, trying to break free, while constantly shouting, "Sister Chuntao, please be gentle. Isn't it okay if I'm wrong?"
"Master, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please save me."
