Chapter 68 Change
Second Uncle Jing anxiously waited, with several groups of people standing at the street entrance in front of the Imperial Palace’s south gate, but there was still no news of the Princely Heir.
How could the Princely Heir leave, he had come to the inn early in the morning, and then just left.
"Have you found him, have you?" Second Uncle Jing grabbed the returning servant, anxiously asking.
"Second Uncle, we’ve searched everywhere, including San He, but there’s no sign of the Princely Heir." The servant looked about eleven or twelve years old, but appeared even younger due to their perennial refugee-like existence. Now dressed in the attendants’ clothes provided by the inn, he actually looked rather refined.
The other two servants, busy wiping tables and running errands, glanced at Second Uncle Jing but didn’t dare to come closer.
"Jing Qu—," Hearing the call coming from the back courtyard, Second Uncle Jing had to let go of the servant and head there.
Si An shrugged his shoulders and continued with the work of the inn. The days in Nanmen State had long become a memory, and Si An’s memories of Nanmen State were even fewer. Now, the life of being well-fed and clothed was almost beyond their wildest dreams.
Xing Le and Xing Cheng exchanged glances. The two brothers had grown much bolder than when they had first arrived.
"Brother Si An, what’s going on?" Although Second Uncle Jing was fierce, when he had kidnapped their family, he had not harmed them and even provided them with a place to live with food and drink, which truly matched what he had promised.
"It’s nothing, just some matters concerning our young master." Si An said dispiritedly. Although he did not know what the matter was, seeing Second Uncle Jing’s urgent demeanor, it must have been very important.
"Has he still not been found?" Inside the inner courtyard, an old man disregarded his injuries and propped himself up from the bed, his walking stick thunking heavily on the ground, cracking several bricks. Second Uncle Jing felt some distress; those were good bricks.
