Chapter 144 Ling Nianxiao is missing
It was early morning, and Lin Qingyan had just tortured Ling Nianxiao severely on the bed last night. According to past practice, she should wake him up and apologize bluntly.
Looking at Ling Nianxiao, who was standing beside her and seemed to have fainted from the torture or fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion, Lin Qingyan's first reaction was to be amazed.
Oh my god! No wonder the original owner was so attracted by his stunning appearance. Even she, who had seen so many handsome men and beautiful women in the world, couldn't help but sigh that Ling Nianxiao was indeed a rare and beautiful man in the world.
His sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and high nose bridge made his facial features deep and three-dimensional as if they were carved by a knife or an axe, yet there was an indescribable softness; his skin was whiter than snow, crystal clear, as if water could be squeezed out of it with a slight touch.
Looking back at the original owner's skin, although it is yellow-white in color, it is quite good compared to people who have to sleep in the open air and run around all year round, but if it is to match the banished immortal-like figure in front of him, it is still far inferior.
Thinking back to how the original owner had treated this talented and handsome man so cruelly and brutally, Lin Qingyan's heart was filled with pain and regret, and she wanted to give this man more care and pampering.
So she got out of bed carefully, pushed open the door quietly, and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook delicious food for her beloved husband.
However, the moment she gently closed the door, the man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
If you look closely, you can find that his eyes are clear and bright, but at the same time they also reveal a hint of reluctance, determination and ruthlessness, without any of the hazy look of just waking up.
After a long time, a crystal teardrop slid down from the corner of the small and delicate eye, slowly flowed across the straight nose, and finally turned into a tiny tear mark. Then, the man closed his eyes again and pursed his lips tightly.
Forget it... She didn't come to apologize today, so what will happen in the future? Perhaps, everything is just wishful thinking...
Lin Qingyan just went out and shuddered. It was about four or five o'clock in the morning (for the convenience of reading and understanding, modern timekeeping method is used).
It was early spring, and it was still a little chilly outside. Lin Qingyan rubbed her hands, exhaled a breath of hot air, and muttered, "It's really cold today!"
Here is a brief introduction to the composition of the people in the mansion: there are three cooks, one housekeeper, two maids, one waiter, five servants, and five maids; in addition, there are two personal servants that Ling Nianxiao brought with her when she got married. In total, there are 21 people in the mansion.
Lin Qingyan walked towards the kitchen, only to see that the cooks had already started working busily.
She couldn't help but sigh, the internal competition had started so early?
"Why are you here so early?" Lin Qingyan stood in the middle of the kitchen, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, as if she was looking for something. She was still mumbling, "Well... what should I cook?"
"Oh, master of the family, why are you up so early? Don't we usually prepare the food before waking you up?" One of the cooks replied with a little surprise.
Lin Qingyan didn't reply, but walked straight to the cabinet and searched for the ingredients. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she found some fresh vegetables and meat. Then, she saw a large bag of coarse salt next to it. Although the grains were a bit large, she could only make do with it. Then, she scooped a spoonful of animal oil into the pot and prepared to start cooking.
At this time, another cook named Xiaoying came over and wanted to help light the fire. However, Lin Qingyan waved her hand and signaled her to go away. "Oh, Master, how can you do this kind of work yourself? Leave it to me! Just tell me what you want to eat and I will make it for you." Xiaoying said in panic.
"No, stay away. I want to cook a delicious meal for my husband myself." Lin Qingyan held the kitchen utensils in her hand and nimbly dodged Xiaoying who tried to snatch the spoon.
"The head of the family is so good to the husband! We are all so envious!" Xiaoying couldn't help but sigh. Looking at Lin Qingyan's concentration on cooking, her heart was filled with admiration.
She had served many masters and met many sisters, but she had never heard of any family head who would cook for her husband personally. In the eyes of everyone, such behavior really undermined the noble status of women.
However, the owner of the house was already regarded as someone who loved and cared for her husband. Now seeing that she was willing to cook for her husband, everyone couldn't help but sigh that this husband was really blessed by fate! It was a great blessing to marry such a virtuous and kind woman!
At this moment, two servants were standing outside the door, still talking in low voices.
"When I marry a wife in the future, I must find someone as gentle and considerate as our master." said a servant named Taozi.
Cherry, who was standing next to him, quickly retorted, "Oh my, shut up and keep your voice down. Don't let the male owner hear these words!"
"Oh...I see." Taozi then realized that she had said the wrong thing just now, as if waking up from a dream.
After a busy period, Lin Qingyan finally brought the carefully prepared vegetable and lean meat porridge and sweet and sour poached eggs into the room, but Ling Nianxiao was nowhere to be found. She gently placed the food on the table and began to look around the house.
"Nian Xiao? Nian Xiao?" Lin Qingyan called out anxiously, but received no response. At this moment, she became increasingly flustered.
She desperately called out to 250 in her mind: "250, help me find where the hero is!"
However, what awaited her was only endless silence...
“250?” Lin Qingyan tried again, but the result was still disappointing.
This is really strange. Could it be that Wuyun is still alive? Everything was normal when I was transmitting the plot to her just now. Why is 250 suddenly silent now?
Without the help of 250, Lin Qingyan had no choice but to go out and look for him herself. She walked through every corner of the mansion and asked everyone, but she could not find Ling Nianxiao and his two servants, Xiaolan and Xiaolu.
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding came over her, and Lin Qingyan could not help but feel alert. She recalled what happened last night: the original owner tortured Ling Nianxiao so badly last night. If it were any other time, she would definitely wake him up and apologize sincerely.
Could it be that when I woke up this morning, he woke up too? But he didn't receive the usual apology, so he left in despair?
It has to be said that sometimes people's wild thoughts often hit the truth. At this moment, Ling Nianxiao was indeed on his way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
However, since the three people including him - Ling Nianxiao and the two servants - were not good at driving a carriage, and although Ling Nianxiao himself was a strong martial artist, his horse riding skills were limited and he could not take the other two people with him. Therefore, they finally decided to walk with the two servants on their way home.
