Chapter 218 A Farce
Without caring about what happened to the man, he just ran out of the door.
Man behind:......?
There were many people walking in the corridor outside. Chuntao heard Xia Qingqing's cry for help and hurried in to save her. When she saw her jump out, she quickly remembered her.
"Someone come, someone come, come and catch him!!"
Chuntao shouted to the back, and the guards outside came over immediately.
He rushed into the room, but after searching every corner, he didn't see the thief.
"Sir, Miss, there is no trace of the thief."
They searched every corner of the room but saw no trace of anyone.
"Miss, maybe the thief escaped through the window. This window is still open."
Xia Qingqing looked inside and saw that it was true. The window that had not been opened just now was now open.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, Xia Xuan and Zhou Zi'an heard the sound and came over. When they saw Xia Qingqing, they hurriedly went up to ask.
"Nannan, what's going on? Are you okay?"
Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "It's okay, Daddy and Mommy, I'm fine."
Xia Xuan heard the guard say that he didn't see any thieves, but he still didn't feel reassured, so he asked someone to guard here and not let anyone come up.
As soon as he gave the instructions, his brothers came up one by one. Xia Qingqing was helpless. Why did they have to come up one by one in order?
So Xia Qingqing repeated what had just happened again, and after hearing Xia Xuan's words, she felt relieved.
"Then if anything happens to you at night, remember to shout so that we can come and rescue you."
Xia Qingqing nodded in agreement, "Got it, don't worry, the thief shouldn't come, go back to bed quickly, it's very late."
They went back worriedly. Xia Qingqing felt relieved when she saw that there was no one inside. She went to close the window and locked it.
Only then did I go to take a shower with peace of mind. After the shower, I suddenly felt a little sleepy and fell asleep with my head leaning against the pillow.
I smelled a faint fragrance in a daze. The smell seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where it came from. Gradually, I fell into a deep sleep.
When Chuntao came knocking on the door, Xia Qingqing had already woken up, but she still stayed in bed until Chuntao came to call her, then she got up and stretched.
"Come in, Chuntao."
Chuntao came in and didn't see Taohua, so she asked curiously.
"Where's the peach blossom girl? Why can't I see her?"
Chuntao said with a smile as she was dressing Xia Qingqing.
"She went to the theatre."
"Watch a play?" Xia Qingqing asked in surprise, "What play?"
Chuntao then realized that Xia Qingqing didn't know about this matter, so she said it.
"Last night, after you fell asleep, there was some noise from where your luggage was stored. Because you said there was a thief, the guards took turns staying up all night to watch over here.
When we heard a noise behind us, we hurried to look back and found that there was someone in our carriage trying to steal our things.
Fortunately, he was caught by the guards before he could steal the money. However, it was night time and he didn't want to wake everyone up, so he waited until the master and the others woke up during the day and handed the money over to the master to deal with.
Now, there is a commotion downstairs. I just watched from downstairs for a while before I found out about this."
There was such a thing. Xia Qingqing suddenly widened her eyes and urged Chuntao.
"Then Chuntao, hurry up, I want to go down and take a look too. I can't miss something like this."
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? If I had known, I would have gotten up earlier."
Chuntao had a smile on her lips, but she felt helpless. She moved her hands a little faster, and just as she finished packing, Xia Qingqing ran out.
Without any hesitation, she ran downstairs. There was a lot of noise downstairs and Xia Qingqing couldn't see anything from outside, so she squeezed in to see.
Xia Xuan saw Xia Qingqing and asked.
"Nannan is awake, did she disturb you?"
Xia Qingqing shook her head, "No, Daddy, what's wrong?"
Xia Xuan told Xia Qingqing what had happened. It was similar to what Chuntao had said, except that it was said that the thief was actually the shopkeeper who had received them during the day.
He was kneeling on the ground at this moment, looking at Xia Xuandao with a pleading look.
"Please be kind, I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
He kowtowed in the direction of Xia Xuan, but who was Xia Xuan? He was used to seeing these things. These people said they were repentant, but who knew if they were truly repentant.
At this time, the people next to him cursed, "We can't just let him go. They will sneak into the female guest's room and do something to her.
He also targets the things of rich people. This guy is not the first time to do this. If we let him go, who knows how many people will suffer. "
When Xia Xuan heard that this guy would actually sneak into the female guest's room, he suddenly remembered what happened last night and his face darkened.
Xia Xuan has been the emperor for so many years, and the intimidation he exudes is not comparable to that of ordinary people. The shopkeeper was originally begging for mercy, but now his face changed when he saw Xia Xuan.
Trembling all over with inner fear, she looked at him tremblingly, wanting to beg for mercy but no sound came out of her throat.
"Take him away and report to the police!!"
When Xia Xuan thought that this guy was the one who did what happened last night, he couldn't help but want to kill him right now.
Only Xia Qingqing knew that the person last night was not him at all, but someone else.
After he was captured, everyone felt that there was nothing to see anymore and they all dispersed.
Zhou Zi'an asked worriedly, "Did anything happen last night?"
Zhou Zi'an felt that his daughter was very innocent and definitely didn't understand matters between men and women. She was afraid that others might hurt her without even realizing it.
"I'm fine mother. I saw that person's face yesterday. It wasn't this person."
She was relieved to hear that Xia Qingqing was fine. As for who the person was last night, there was no way to verify it.
"I'm glad you're okay."
They rested for a while and prepared to continue on their journey. Xia Xuan had already sent people to put pressure on local officials, so he naturally knew what to do.
Anyway, he will come back. If he finds that this inn is still his when he comes back, he will definitely dismiss the officials in this area.
As they were leaving the city gate, Xia Qingqing felt a bit bored sitting in the carriage and wanted to go out for a horse ride. Just as they were leaving, they picked out their own horses.
I feel like this will come in handy one day, so I can't just bring it with me for nothing.
