Chapter 1139 - 048 Taste All Tortures (Six Updates)
Lin Yuan raised her head and looked at the tightly closed gates and said to Lian Qiao, "When you went out, you told Madam you were passing a message for Xiao Linshuang, but now that you’ve been gone for so long, Madam must be suspicious. Here’s what we’ll do, I have some osmanthus cakes on the carriage that I bought when I just returned. Take them with you when you go in, and if Madam asks, tell her Xiao Linshuang was craving them, and you went to buy some snacks. Also, you must remember, never let Madam know that Xiao Linshuang is missing, and don’t let her go to Xiao Linshuang’s courtyard. Did you get that?"
Lian Qiao nodded repeatedly, "I got it."
As Lin Yuan mentioned the osmanthus cakes, Lin Yi had already taken them from the carriage and handed them to Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao stood up, wiped her tears, and without needing Lin Yuan’s guidance, promptly put on an unconcerned expression.
Xia Zheng secretly nodded; this Lian Qiao was indeed more composed than the average servant girl, but he still reminded her one last time, "If Xiao Linshuang returns, come out and notify me immediately."
"Yes," Lian Qiao nodded, turned around, and went back to the mansion.
After she left, Lin Yuan bit her lip and looked towards Xia Zheng; besides being able to stabilize Lady Liu, she now knew nothing else; her mind was a complete mess.
Xia Zheng grabbed her hand, there was no time to comfort her, so he quickly arranged for Lin Yi to urgently send people to guard all the city gates. Although it was uncertain whether Xiao Linshuang was abducted by traffickers, the first thing to do was to guard the city gates well, to prevent them from leaving the city.
