Miaoling said: "When the girl left the house yesterday, she watched the show with Miss Gu, Miss Su, and Miss Fan in Shenghualou. Later, she went to the shop. Seeing that it was getting late, she planned to go to Zuixianglou for dinner before returning home."
"But there are many people on the street, and I and Qiuyu walked beside the girl, but somehow they still couldn't watch the girl. When I realized that, the person was gone."
Mrs. Mu frowned. Although she was a woman, she had lived for most of her life. When she heard Miaoling's words, she felt something was wrong.
Before he could speak, he heard Hu, who was beside him, in surprise, "There is such a thing? In this way, is it really a kidnapped by the thief?"
After talking nonsense, Liang Jing also said, "Mom, I think there is a possibility. Qing'er is the daughter of the Hou's Mansion. It is hard to guarantee that no thieves will hit her."
After saying that, Liang Jing looked worried and looked at the old lady, and asked, "Mom, what should I do? If Qing'er really falls into the hands of the thieves, it will be impossible to delay it. Why not report to the official immediately? I believe these thieves can't run far. If there is a wanted official in the government, Qing'er will be safe."
As soon as Liang finished speaking, Qiuyu shook her head and said, "Old lady, you must not report to the official. The girl has not returned overnight. If it is spread, it will be bad for her reputation. If she goes to report to the official at this moment, this matter will definitely not be hidden. By then, everyone in the capital will know that the girl has fallen into the hands of the thief, and this reputation will be completely ruined."
Miaoling also said: "Mrs. Please think twice. Whether the girl has fallen into the hands of the thief is still unknown. You must not report to the official impulse. I feel that more people should be sent to search in secret. Maybe I will find the girl soon."
Mrs. Mu didn't say anything, as if she was thinking seriously, and her deep eyes swept across the two, making it difficult for her to notice her thoughts.
However, Liang Jing had a rare opportunity to step on Mu Qing, so he would not let it go. He said, "Mom, what is the importance of reputation compared to life? Since he is a thief, he is naturally a life-threatening person. If Qing'er really falls into the hands of these people, he will definitely suffer a little. I should report this matter to the official as soon as possible so that he can find Qing'er as soon as possible."
Rumors about Jinjing have always been spread quickly. If the news of Mu Qing being kidnapped by the thief spread, the reputation would be ruined, and it would naturally be difficult to get married in the future.
Since ancient times, people have been afraid of words.
This is an eternal truth. Once this rumor spreads, everyone can drown Mu Qing to death with just one mouthful of spit.
Liang Jing thought of this and wanted to send someone to report to the official immediately.
After hearing Liang Jing say this, Qiuyu was angry and anxious and wanted to refute it, but Miaoling winked at her and signaled that she should not act rashly.
In front of the old lady, Qiuyu was afraid of being backfired, and she was just a maid, and the master did not have the same chance to interrupt himself when he spoke, so he could only endure this tone.
Although Hu and Liang Jing were not in the way, they often faced each other in a tit-for-tat way, but they naturally could not catch up with Liang Jing's scheming.
At this time, when Liang Jing heard what he said, he didn't expect that if he really reported to the official, he would definitely ruin Mu Qing's reputation. He only felt that if Mu Qing really fell into the hands of the thief, it would be better to report to the official as soon as possible. He also advised: "Mom, I also think it's better to report to the official earlier. If the government comes forward, it would be much better than if we sent people to search everywhere like headless flies."
Mrs. Mu didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Neither Liang Jing nor Hu were able to figure out what she was thinking, so he didn't dare to say anything else.
After a long time, Mrs. Mu said indifferently: "Since that's the case, I will send someone to report to the official as you say." After that, he said: "The second girl is always the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. Once she reports to the official, she will definitely damage her reputation. Except for the people in the government, this matter should not be promoted."
After hearing what Mrs. Mu said, Liang and Hu responded quickly, and both of them had different thoughts.
Liang has always hated Mu Qing and hoped that this story will be known to everyone.
Hu's wife was just a good deal on the surface, but it would be impossible to think about Mu Qing. Everything she did was just because Mu Qing still had the title of a legitimate daughter.
But Miaoling and Qiuyu, who were kneeling aside, heard that the old lady was about to report to the official position, but they were really worried about Mu Qing.
But even so, they are just servants after all, and they are just speechless.
Mrs. Mu closed her eyes, as if she felt a little tired. She was about to take them away when she heard a maid report: "Old lady, the second lady is back home."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and their reactions were different.
Liang was angry and thought that Mu Qing might have been lucky enough to be taken away by the thief. Even if she didn't, going to report to the official position this time would ruin her reputation, but she didn't expect Mu Qing would return home so soon.
Hu was also quite surprised, but although she had never been good to Mu Qing, she had no bad intentions. She turned around and smiled at the old lady, "Mom, look, I just said Qing'er is a sensible person. Wouldn't she be back now?"
If we can make things difficult for Liang Jing, Hu will not miss such a good opportunity.
Even though Liang Jing held his breath, he still showed a gentle look on his face and said, "It's good that Qing'er is back, and there is a big stone in my heart." After that, he said to the maid who reported, "Why don't you go and send a message to the second lady and ask her to come to Jinhuatang for a trip."
Mrs. Mu has always been a person who attaches importance to rules. Although Mu Qing returned to the mansion, he did not return overnight. This is not a good thing for the unmarried woman.
Liang Jing's move did not report to the official position and could not destroy Mu Qing's reputation, but because she did not return overnight, she must have been punished by the old lady.
And she is happy to watch a good show.
