Gao Zhinan and Xu Shu separated and sat in the carriage and walked around the street slowly. The depression in their hearts dissipated seven or eight. When they lifted the curtain, they saw a snack shop. They felt a little hungry. They ordered the coachman to stop the car and took Caixia to the snack shop. After tasting it, they picked three or five snacks and said, "This sugar paste is Xiaoshu's favorite food. I made this when I first learned to make snacks. At that time, she was willing to give face and was willing to eat what I made! Although the taste here is not as good as that in Beijing, I can only make it. Even if I go north, I can't even eat such a thing..."

Gao Zhinan's eyes showed sadness. No matter how strong she was, she would eventually be a fifteen-year-old girl. She left her hometown alone and suffered all the hardships. She would inevitably have an instinctive longing for her hometown and her warm memories of the past.

Caixia sighed lightly, "Why did you have to bet on this tone with the master? If you don't want to go to see the marriage, the master can't force you to nod!"

"I really got to that position. How could I still have the face to stay in that home? I'm not only trying to fight for that breath, but also trying to preserve the last bit of family affection!" Gao Zhinan murmured, and the corners of his eyes suddenly felt a little wet. Gao Zhinan touched his fingers lightly, and indeed touched a water stain. He lowered his hand with a bitter smile, "You've been miserable, but I'm young but I'm leaving my mother so far away with me!"

Caixia cried and shook her head, "No matter how hard it is, you will not be as hard as Miss!"

Gao Zhinan wiped his tears and took a deep breath, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back quickly. If you don't go back, Xiaoshu should be anxious!"

When she returned to the government office, Gao Zhinan pushed open the door of Xu Shu's room with a snack, but the room was empty. "Why are there no one in the room? Could it be that she hasn't come back yet? It shouldn't be! She said she wanted to come back to sort out the medicinal materials!"

Caixia said, "Can it be that someone next to her talked in the room?"

With Xu Shu's temperament, she would not ask anyone to talk to, but she could not completely rule out this possibility, so she knocked on the door next door. Miss Xiao San opened the door himself. She was a little surprised to see that it was Gao Zhinan, "Why is Miss Gao free to come to me?"

Gao Zhinan asked straight to the point, "Is Miss Xu Jiu here with you?"

Miss Xiao San shook her head, "Didn't she go out with you? Why? Are you separated on the road?" Looking at Gao Zhinan in front of her, Miss Xiao San couldn't help but be curious. A living person could even get lost? And she was a person as alert as Xu Shu.

Gao Zhinan sighed, looked over Miss Xiao San's shoulder and glanced around Miss Xiao San's house. The room was indeed empty, and even Miss Xiao San's maid Xue Huai didn't see it.

Seeing this, Miss Xiao San simply opened the door and let him aside, "Miss Xu Jiu is really not here with me! If you don't believe it, come in and check it yourself!"

Gao Zhinan shook his head, "You can't hide her even if you want to!"

Miss Xiao San smiled, "That's true!"

Gao Zhinan asked again, "Has Miss Xiao San been out today?"

Miss Xiao San shook her head, "I was tired and didn't want to walk around, so I asked Xuehuai to go out and buy some things for me. As for me, I kept resting in the house!"

"Have Miss Xiao San ever seen Miss Xu Jiu come back?" Gao Zhinan asked again.

Miss Xiao San thought about it and shook her head, "No! Except for two hours ago, you two came back together, there was no other movement in the next room!"

After being separated from her, Xu Shu didn't come back. Where did she go? Did she go out to relax like herself? Gao Zhinan began to feel a little uneasy.

Miss Xiao San comforted, "Maybe it was delayed by something. It was still early, and it should be back in a while!"

Gao Zhinan responded randomly and said goodbye in a hurry, and did not go back to his house. He went straight to Xu Shu's house, waiting until the sun sets westward and not waiting for Xu Shu to come back. He had to take the lights when he wanted to see it. Gao Zhinan felt more and more panicked!

Caixia came back from receiving Gao Zhinan's evening meal and looked panicked. Gao Zhinan saw this and stood up, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Caixia put down the tray serving food and said with tears in her eyes, "I just heard the other ladies' girls in the kitchen saying that they met Rouran people with their ladies today... They also said that those Rouran people had drunk wine and wanted to tease their ladies. If they hadn't met the soldiers patrolling the city to rescue the siege, Rouran people would have succeeded..."

Did Xu Shu also meet Rouran? So she hasn't come back yet?

Gao Zhinan was in a mess. If Xu Shu fell into the hands of Rouran, it would be more than just teasing and insulting! Along the way, Gao Zhinan also learned that Anatu was a villain with extremely narrow mind. Delong was exposed because of Xu Shu's identification. With Anatu's carefulness, he would inevitably blame Xu Shu for half of Delong's death. Once Xu Shu fell into the hands of Rouran, Anatu would definitely kill Xu Shu to vent his anger!

Moreover, everyone acted alone today. After Anatu killed Xu Shu, he didn't have to worry about the crime being exposed. There was neither evidence nor evidence. He was not worried about finding him. Even if everyone suspected that it was Rouran, he could not produce any evidence...

"What to do? What to do?" Gao Zhinan was so anxious that tears fell, "It's all my fault... I'm so bad... I'm just a few taels of silver? I don't lack this little money. Others make money. How could I let her leave alone just because of this little thing..."

Gao Zhinan cried with guilt, and Caixia also cried, but she still comforted her lady, "Miss Xu Jiu has a good appearance, she will definitely be fine. She must have been stuck in something else and didn't come back!"

Gao Zhinan cried and shook his head, "Stop saying this, how could I believe this if I don't even believe me? If she was really just stuck with something else, how could she look horrified when you mentioned Rouran? You clearly thought of it with me..."

"But...but..." Caixia didn't say anything to comfort Gao Zhinan for a long time, and could only look at Gao Zhinan powerlessly and she kept crying.

Gao Zhinan cried for a while and suddenly had an idea, "Let's go find the princess and ask the princess to send someone to find her!"
