C56 (2/2)

Li Yi stepped forward to support her and comforted her, ”Little Su, don't worry. The child will definitely find you. ”How about this, I'll go to the government and report this. You go to the capital and seek help. We'll split up now!”

”Alright, thank you Big Brother Li!”

Su Zhi hired a car and headed towards the capital without stopping.

Without someone by her side, she would always think of bad things and feel as if a knife was being twisted inside her heart when she thought of the disappearance of the bean bun. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

The capital was indeed not far from Xuan City. After they passed the official road, they would be able to see the city gate from afar.

Su Zhi, however, felt that she could not wait to fly to the general's estate and ask Xiao Qian to help her.

When she encountered difficulties, the first person she thought of was Xiao Qian. Other than him, Su Zhi really couldn't find anyone else to ask for help.

Auntie Gu was right, it was impossible to have no man in the family. Since she was both a mother and a father, there was bound to be mistakes.

It had been a few days since they last met. How was Xiao Qian and how had he been recently? The imperial government's pay had not been distributed yet, but it had already attracted many dissenting military officers. This rumor was heard by Su Zhi and her family. They didn't know if Xiao Qian was in a bad shape or not, and had no place to vent it out.

He didn't know if it would be troublesome if he asked for his help at this time.

The more she thought, the more annoyed she felt. Su Zhi didn't want to continue anymore. She wiped her tears away and forced herself to calm down.

”My wife, the General's Estate is right in front of us. You should get off the carriage and walk there by yourself.” The general's manor is under strict security. This little one is a commoner, I will not trouble you. Please do as you please. ”

Su Zhi took a deep breath, tidied herself up, and got off the carriage.

Not far ahead was the general's manor. Two rows of guards with sabers were standing in front of the manor gate. The vermillion gate was solemn and majestic.

Su Zhi hesitated a little and stood in place, not daring to move forward. Thinking that it was unknown whether or not Little Dou was dead or alive, she steeled her heart and braced herself to move forward.

”Halt! Who dares to barge into the general's manor?!”

”Little brother, my name is Su Zhi. I'm an old friend of your general. I have something to discuss with him. Can you inform him?”

The guard looked Su Zhi up and down, frowned, and said, ”Do you have an invitation from the General's Estate? If not, then what about the card? Do you have the keepsake? ”

Su Zhi shook her head blankly. Other than promising her, Xiao Qian did not leave her any keepsake.

”Since there aren't any, I can't let you in.”

Su Zhi patiently explained, ”I really do know your general, and he will help me. I'll have to trouble you with your report, and tell you that this is my wife, Su Zhi, requesting an audience. If the General does not wish to see me, then I will turn around and leave.

After hesitating for a moment, the guard with the saber called for the servant in charge and whispered a few words into his ear.

The attendant understood the gist of it and was about to enter the door to report the matter, but was stopped by a delicate shout. ”Who's making a ruckus here? Are there any rules?!”

Everyone looked over and saw eight people carrying a big palanquin full of Hibiscus Mutabilis. There were dozens of guards and five serving maids walking with them.

From the looks of it, it must be some noble girl.

”So it's Princess Anyang. This humble servant pays his respects to the princess.”

The sedan stopped as the servant girl opened the curtain, supporting a twenty-eight year old girl as she slowly walked out.

The lady in the palanquin was sitting on a red and gold silk soft and silky silk brocade robe. The ground was smooth and smooth, making her skin as creamy as cream. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and her skin as ice.

”Who is this person? This princess has heard her crying from afar. How unlucky.”

The guard cupped his fist and explained, ”He said he came to ask for the general's help.”

The girl snorted disdainfully. Her beauty was like a flower and the moon, but her disdainful expression gave birth to a sense of haughty haughtiness. ”What kind of place is the General's Estate? How could a village woman cause trouble? Hurry up and send her away.”

The guard hesitated for a moment, not daring to disobey the woman's wishes. He could only chase Su Zhi away.

”Lil 'Bro, I'm begging you to help me. I really do have urgent matters to discuss with the general.”

No matter how much Su Zhi begged, she was still mercilessly pushed far away.

The woman then revealed a satisfied expression and arrogantly entered the general's manor.

Since she could not obtain any results, Su Zhi was unwilling to accept this. Furthermore, she could not even see Xiao Qian. She was so anxious that her heart was in turmoil.

She had been wandering around the general's manor for a long time. Seeing that the four small doors were guarded by guards, making it impossible for her to enter, she couldn't help but feel frustrated.
