zChapter 1110 - Misfortune (1/2)
“Third Sister, look! I’m not sure what is being sold in front, so many people are crowding over there, let’s go and take a look!” Unexpectedly, this street which was rather quiet, this alleyway entrance which was rather deserted, it was strangely bustling today. A street peddler was standing there with his goods and many people crowded around his goods to choose, there were rows of people and it was crowded.
In the end, Xiangrong was a young girl and would naturally be interested in new and interesting things were being sold. In addition, since she had already come out, she wanted to relax. Therefore, she happily lunged forward together with Fendai, but she did not know, what waited for her, was misfortune……
Fendai already expected that this street peddler and the ones crowding around to buy things were not that simple, for this place, it was normally impossible for people to come here to buy things. The people who passed by here were few, the people who lived here were few. It was a secluded area, how stupid must a seller be to come here? Therefore, she determined that this must be arranged by Yu Qianyin, and she just had to successfully bring Xiangrong into the crowd, then she did not have to care about what happened later on.
As she was thinking, the pair had already squeezed into the crowd, Fendai did not do anything special, only rushing ahead to look at the goods, and since Xiangrong had a more sedate personality, she was unable to squeeze in that quickly and was squeezed into the middle of the crowd, surrounded by many people, separating her from her maid Shan Cha by a large distance.
Shan Cha was a little anxious, seeing Xiangrong being squeezed by the crowd too much, Shan Cha shouted from the fringes of the crowd: “Young Miss! Young Miss! Oh gosh, all of you give way, do not crowd around my Young Miss so much!”
But how would these people listen to her, not only did they not give way, they crowded closer to Xiangrong, the area covered by them kept shrinking, from the start where she could still push around a little, she was now squeezed into one location tightly and their bodies were pressed up against each other. It was to the point that Xiangrong suddenly had a feeling that these people were doing it intentionally. Unfortunately, when she realised it, it was already too late, she felt a wave of dizziness and she fainted just like this.
In a blink of an eye, when Shan Cha who was in the fringes of the crowd finally broke through the dense human wall and rushed to where Xiangrong was standing, how could she still be able to find any signs of her Young Miss.
Someone voiced their complaints to Shan Cha: “Why are you squeezing! Only your Young Miss is precious? Everyone is here to buy things, why are you acting like someone from a noble family? If you really have money and status, then go to the jewellery shops and buy things! Why are you competing with us over street wares?”
Other people also said: “If she wants to squeeze, then let her do so! We just don’t have to buy anything, she can buy everything on her own.”
As they spoke, these people already left one after another, a crowd which was made up of rows and rows of people cleared away quickly, only leaving Fendai, Dong Ying and Shan Cha, who was looking for her own Young Miss in a daze.
Seeing this scene, the street peddler carrying his goods did not look happy as well, he took away the bracelet which was still in her hands, saying unhappily: “It’s because of all of you, my perfectly good business was ruined! Hand it over, hand it over, I’m not selling anymore!” As he spoke, he shoved Fendai, then shouted in anger and left with his goods.
That person walked very quickly, when they finally reacted, they could not find any signs anymore. Even those people who were crowding around and buying things earlier have dispersed without a trace. It was to the point that Fendai had a mistaken perception, as if the bustling of this place just now had never existed at all. However, there was still a change in the end, there were four people when they came, now, only three were left.
Shan Cha was trembling in fright, crying with a “Wah”, searching around as she cried, shouting constantly: “Young Miss! Young Miss! Where are you? Young Miss!” She continued to shout, really hoping that she could see Xiangrong appear at her side when she turned around, unfortunately, it was as if Xiangrong disappeared into thin air and never appeared again. Shan Cha was almost frightened to death, grabbing Feng Fendai, kneeling down with a plunk: “Fourth Miss, did you see our Third Miss? Please help me to search around, why did Third Miss disappear just like that?”
Fendai was also rather nervous, she knew why Xiangrong disappeared, but also knew even more clearly that Xiangrong’s disappearance was definitely related to her. But for this matter, other than herself, this could not be known to outsiders, even her maid Dong Ying could not know about this. She looked at Shan Cha, and her nervousness became irritation, she swung her arm harshly and pushed Shan Cha away, saying: “We were here looking at things, you were unable to keep watch in your own Young Miss, now you’re asking me for her?”
Shan Cha shook her head quickly: “That’s not it! I am not asking Fourth Miss for her, I am only pleading with Fourth Miss to help search.”
Fendai scoffed coldly: “Search? Where am I supposed to search? Do you think I am a city patrol officer? Having a lot of manpower and stamina? I have only brought one maid with me, are you asking This Young Miss to go on the streets to search for her? In the end, losing Third Sister is the fault of you, the maid, if you did not shout loudly over there, would they have gotten angry? Did you not hear what those people said when they left? Even the street peddler carrying the goods was offended by you, I This Young Miss did not even have the chance to pull out silver to buy the bracelet I liked before you ruined everything. Now Third Sister was lost, the blame is all on you!”
Shan Cha, who already felt afraid, when she was threatened by Fendai, she felt more guilty, feeling that Fendai was reasonable as well, she did shout loudly and caused those people to feel unhappy, but who were those people? Bandits? They abducted her Young Miss simply because she shouted two sentences?
