576 Right Hand (5)
He sent his servants to go to the places Xie Changchao frequented the most. However, no matter how he looked, it was as if Xie Changchao and Shen Miao had disappeared from the face of the earth. For some reason, the longer time passed, the more uneasy Xie Changwu felt. He tried to find out if Shen Miao had returned home, but there was no sign of Shen Miao in the Shen mansion. This put Xie Changwu a little at ease.
After a few days, even Xie Ding became suspicious and asked why he did not see Xie Changchao for so long. Xie Changwu could only say that Xie Changchao had gone out of the city to hunt with his friends. When Concubine Fang asked, he said the same thing. Princess Ming An sent someone to deliver a message that if the Xie brothers still did not take action, she would take Shen Miao away and do it herself.
Xie Changwu was panicking. Now, not to mention Shen Miao, even Xie Changchao was missing. If Princess Ming An found out, she would blame him for not doing his job well. Not only would she not put in a good word for the two of them in front of Fu Xiuyi, but they would probably suffer a lot of humiliation. Xie Changwu really regretted agreeing to such a task.
No matter what, Xie Changwu still kept sending people to search for Xie Changchao. A few days ago, they kidnapped Shen Miao, and the Shen family searched the entire city for her. Now, it was Xie Changwu’s turn to search the entire city for Xie Changchao. How ironic!
Xie Changwu naturally did not know that the brother he was searching for was now in Xie Jingxing’s hands.
Tie Yi followed behind the purple-robed young man and said, “Xie Changchao’s corpse is in the tower jail, stored in the ice coffin. Master, when will you use it?”
“Leave it for now. There’s no hurry.” Xie Jingxing said, “We can’t waste such a good thing.”
He slowly walked into the mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Ji Yushu, who was wearing a purple robe and a silver mask, chasing after the white tiger called Jiaojiao. As he chased, he said, “Little brat, don’t you recognize me? Open your eyes and look carefully. Come over!”
Tie Yi was speechless. Only a person like Ji Yushu would pretend to be Xie Jingxing to tease a tiger.
The white tiger was escaping from Ji Yushu’s “warm” arms. When it suddenly saw Xie Jingxing and Tie Yi coming, it turned around halfway and suddenly rushed towards Xie Jingxing. It bit the corner of Xie Jingxing’s robe and shook its head happily.
Xie Jingxing leaned over and picked up the white tiger. He looked at the “Xie Jingxing” and said with a faint smile, “Did you have a good time while I’m gone?”
“Third Brother!” The fake Xie Jingxing took off his mask, revealing Ji Yushu’s sweaty face. Ji Yushu panted and waved his hand. “Third Brother, I didn’t want to pretend to be you. Today, a girl came to look for you for help. Gao Yang insisted that I pretend to be you. However, I can assure you that I did quite well. When that girl saw me, she knelt down without a word and kowtowed to me many times.”
“A girl?” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and looked at Tie Yi. Tie Yi quickly said, “In the afternoon, Miss Luo and Young Master Gao came. At that time, Young Master Ji pretended to be you and agreed to Miss Luo’s request… Then, the two of them left.”
Ji Yushu emphasized, “Gao Yang forced me to do that!”
As they spoke, they heard Tie Yi say, “Young Master Gao is here.”
