Chapter 116 Bai Xun learns about Nan Chun's whereabouts
Bai Song glanced at Bai Xun, whose face was gloomy, and thought to himself: This is just the beginning. If he knew that Nanchun had been beaten and driven away to live in a separate courtyard, and there was also the matter of the demonic book...
Bai Song felt overwhelmed when he thought about these troubles. He was afraid that his family would be in turmoil in the future.
He finally understood how Bai Xun had completed the journey which took him more than ten days.
I didn't get off the bus except to eat.
"You guys came back from Xinchuanling like this?" Bai Song rubbed his aching waist.
"No." Ah Fu took a bite of the meat bone.
"That's what I said, who can stand traveling this way?" Bai Song frowned.
"We basically don't get off the car except when it's convenient. We buy our meals and eat them in the car." Ah Fu said while eating.
Bo Song curled his lips and gave Bo Xun a cold look: "You are really cruel to yourself."
The journey, which should have taken two days, took them just over a day. In fact, if Bo Song hadn't complained about the journey, they could have gone even faster.
"Xundi, Nanchun left on her own and should be safe for the time being. Jincheng is the territory of the Fourth Master of the Sheng family, and our Bai family's relationship with the Fourth Master is very delicate.
Don't rush to look for someone for a while, go visit Fourth Master Sheng first. He has connections here, and if Nanchun really stayed in Jincheng, Fourth Master's people will definitely know. If he's willing to help find her, it will be much easier.
Bo Song took out the gift box from the trunk and said, "I've donated all my treasures."
"Afu, Xu Fei, you two go and ask around first." Bai Xun ordered.
"By the way, Xu Fei, please look for Meng Wu and the others. They should have arrived here this morning."
"Yes."
Not long after Bai Xun's car entered Jincheng, Sheng Yu'an received the news.
"You came quite quickly." Manager Cheng said.
"Master Bai and Master Er are here."
"A few people came this morning, sneaking around the city to investigate. Then the eldest and second young masters came together. Do you think they value Nanchun? Or are they here to test us?" said Shopkeeper Shi.
"Anyway, it's like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, with no good intentions. I have to go home. When I get to my mountain, the two young masters of the Bai family will definitely come to pay me a visit." Sheng Yu'an grinned.
"Are you planning on meeting them?"
"Yes, why not? I've been wanting to meet this Second Young Master Bai for a long time!"
"Have you told Nanchun?" asked Manager Shi.
Manager Cheng nodded and said, "I've already sent someone to the theater."
Theater.
"Sir, the Fourth Master sent me over to pass on a message. The eldest and second young masters of the Bai family have just arrived in Jincheng."
"Hey, both brothers are here? It seems that they still value you very much." Chunxiao said with a smile.
Nanchun felt inexplicably nervous.
He wanted to see Bai Xun, but his mood was different now. He hadn't figured out what expression to use when facing Bai Xun.
Seeing that Nanchun was nervous, Chunxiao poured him a cup of tea.
"Just follow your heart. It's like performing on stage. The more you try to act, the less it will look like," Chunxiao said.
Xu Fei didn't get any news about the second young lady, but he happened to meet Meng Wu.
"Young Master, Second Young Master."
"What did you find out?"
"We arrived in Jincheng this morning and went to the dock first. Someone said that there was indeed a young man wandering around the dock on the day the Jin family caravan arrived in Jincheng, but no one knew where he went afterwards.
Although I haven't found any definitive information about the Second Young Mistress yet, I've noticed a rumor circulating in Jincheng that Mr. Chunxiao, the mainstay of the Xiyan Troupe, has dumped Mr. Sheng Si and found a powerful new partner from Jincheng. Some say the partner is a middle-aged man, while others say it's a young man.
This person appeared in Jincheng around the same time as the Second Young Lady arrived. I bribed a waiter at the theater, and he said he was a young man who was currently staying at the theater," said Meng Wu.
"Nanchun knows Chunxiao?" Bai Song looked at Bai Xun.
Bai Xun said, "I can't say they know each other. The Xiyan Troupe came to He'an County to perform before, and Zheng Jiufu spoke rudely to Mr. Chunxiao. Nanchun spoke up for him. Later, the Xiyan Troupe's owner even came to express his gratitude."
Bo Song's fingers tapped the table intermittently. "I see. So what should we do next?"
Bai Xun was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll write a visiting card to Fourth Master Sheng, and we'll do as we agreed before."
Bai Song smiled and said, "You've been traveling day and night these days just to see him as soon as possible, haven't you? Why? Now that we know where he is, why don't you go see him quickly?"
"Mr. Chunxiao has a close relationship with Fourth Master Sheng. There is someone more around him, and Fourth Master Sheng must know about it. Even though the rumors are spreading like that outside, Fourth Master Sheng didn't care. He must know Nanchun's identity. He knew it but didn't inform the Bai family..." Bai Xun lowered his eyes and didn't continue.
"Yes! It's over, it's over! I'm afraid that the little things in the old house have spread. Nanchun has done Chunxiao a favor, so people will naturally stand on Nanchun's side. I'm afraid that the Fourth Master... doesn't like us anymore. It will be difficult for you to take people away smoothly." Bai Song said helplessly.
"Let's send the visiting card first. If the Fourth Master doesn't want to see us, we can make other plans. Let's stay in the inn closest to the theater. It will be more convenient to move around if anything happens." Bai Xun said.
"Are you planning to live here permanently?" Bai Song frowned.
"Brother, you can go back to Yangcheng first. I'll take care of Nanchun's affairs here."
"That's fine. But I'd better visit the Fourth Master first. I'm already at his doorstep, and it would be impolite not to pay him a visit."
Bai Xun nodded, wrote a visiting card, and asked Ah Fu and Xu Fei to deliver it to Sheng Yu'an's house.
Sheng Yu'an returned to paradise.
His house was called Paradise, and indeed it was a paradise, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with beautiful scenery and magnificent architecture.
But he seldom slept here, mostly in teahouses.
This is the face of Mr. Sheng Si, and the teahouse is his home, Sheng Yu'an.
"Fourth Master, the eldest and second young masters of the Bai family have sent someone to deliver a visiting card. I was just about to go to the teahouse to report to you." said the housekeeper, Old Xing.
"It's quite formal." Sheng Yu'an took the visiting card and took a look at it. "The handwriting is really good."
It should be written by the second young master Bai, the handwriting is as smooth as flowing water, and the brushstrokes are strong. He has seen the handwriting of the eldest young master Bai, and it can't be said to be ugly, but it is far inferior to this.
"Where are you people?"
"They said they were staying at the Fudong Inn."
Fudong Inn, good!
It's just opposite the theater and next to the teahouse.
Has Nanchun's whereabouts been discovered?
However, the day before yesterday, Nanchun moved into the theater without hiding it. Now, everyone is saying that Mr. Chunxiao, the golden thigh from Yangcheng, has moved into the theater.
"Go to Fudong Inn and tell the two young masters that I will host a banquet in the paradise tonight and look forward to your arrival," said Sheng Yu'an.
"Yes, Fourth Master."
