It was evening when Xia Hou Rong came to the door, and Xia Hou Ting'an was having dinner with Xiao Die.
It seems that because she was born in Chunfeng Building, Xiaodie is not good at cooking, and the food she cooks is almost unpalatable.
Xiahou Ting'an was born as a noble son and had the best food. How could he get used to it
At the beginning, he was able to take Xiaodie out to eat out, but as time went by, he didn't have much money on him.
You know, when he left Xiahou Mansion, he left the house with great integrity.
The property in the Qiankun Ring that was previously given to Xiaodie was all used to redeem Xiaodie, and there was not much left.
It has been several days since the two of them lived a simple life.
Xiahou Ting'an was already feeling uncomfortable in various ways. Coupled with the incident of Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill being robbed, he had been uneasy and full of fear during this period.
I have no energy during the day and can't sleep at night.
Even if he fell asleep occasionally, he would always have nightmares.
After all the hard work, he lost a lot of weight.
Xiahou Ting'an felt a little regretful.
Although this house is clean and tidy, it is incomparable to Xiahou Mansion.
There was no one to serve him.
He was used to living a life of fine clothing and fine food, and to experience the life of ordinary people again was simply more uncomfortable than killing him!
In fact, Xiahou Ting'an also thought about taking the initiative to go back and admit his mistake.
But on the one hand, he couldn't save this face and was afraid of being ridiculed and ridiculed by others when he returned. On the other hand, he was also worried that Jiuxiao's return to Yuan Dan would be exposed.
Rather than that, it would be better to just live like this.
But this calm was soon broken!
boom!
A sound of kicking on the door came, and Xiahou Ting'an and Xiaodie were both startled.
The two looked at each other and heard Xia Hourong's angry voice coming from outside.
"You traitor! Get out yet!"
Xiahou Ting'an felt a thump in his heart!
The missing Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill must have been discovered!
He immediately stood up in panic, subconsciously trying to escape.
Xiaodie looked at him blankly.
"Second Young Master, is that man outside Mr. Xiahou? He seems to be here to find you—"
"Just say I'm not here!"
Xiahou Ting'an hurriedly said the next sentence and was about to jump out of the window.
But before he could move, a rope was wrapped around his waist!
Xia Hourong pulled hard!
Xiahou Ting'an immediately fell back!
boom!
He landed heavily in front of Xia Hourong.
"Second Young Master—"
Seeing this scene, Xiaodie shouted in panic, holding the door tightly with both hands, looking very worried.
Xia Hourong glanced at her with a very cold look.
This girl looks to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She has a small face without makeup, which is delicate and charming, especially when she cries, she looks pitiful.
It is indeed very different from Jiang Yuzhi's arrogant and arrogant appearance.
No wonder this traitor would do this!
"roll!"
Xia Hourong shouted sharply.
"Don't let me see you in Xiling from now on!"
Xiaodie shivered, tears streaming down her face, and she glanced at Xiahou Ting'an reluctantly.
"I, I can leave, but, but... please don't hurt the second young master. Everything is my fault."
Xia Hourong frowned, and his breath became even colder.
A trace of fear flashed across Xiaodie's face, and she hurriedly said goodbye to Xiahou Ting'an and ran away crying.
The father and son were the only two people left in the courtyard.
Xia Hourong dragged him directly into the room and looked at him condescendingly, with a majestic expression!
"father"
Xiahou Ting'an was a little more awake at this time. Seeing such a battle, he had vaguely guessed something in his heart and shouted guiltily.
"Don't call me!"
Xia Hourong interrupted him rudely.
"Tell me! Where is the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill!"
Xiahou Ting'an said hurriedly:
"Dad, I don't know! I really don't know!"
Snapped!
A loud slap sounded!
Xia Hou Rong slapped Xia Hou Ting'an hard and knocked him to the ground.
"explain!"
Xiahou Ting'an coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood, and two of his teeth were knocked out.
It can be seen that Xia Hourong is very serious!
"I really don't know."
Xiahou Ting'an also felt aggrieved.
"Who else can steal things quietly but you!"
Xia Hourong gritted his teeth.
"Did you find someone to help you?"
Now that I think about it, it's very likely that he lost the thing the night he was eavesdropped!
The person running around might have been there specifically to move the tiger away from the mountain so that this traitor could move around more easily!
Xiahou Ting'an knew that the matter was exposed and he could not deny it at all.
But—that thing really isn’t with him!
"Dad! Listen to my explanation! That day, that day, I really wanted to steal the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill, but as soon as I opened it, someone snatched it away! To this day, my son still doesn't know where it is! "
Xiahou Ting'an quickly recounted what happened that day.
"If it is really in the hands of my son, why is it useless now? Dad, what my son said is the truth!"
After listening to Xiahou Ting'an's explanation, Xia Hourong's heart gradually cooled down.
If everything he said was true, then someone deliberately followed him into the study that day and took the opportunity to take away the things.
The most terrifying thing is that Xiahou Ting'an didn't see what the other party looked like! Not a clue!
If you want to find someone, isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack?
Jiang Yucheng wanted to send the things back intact within one day!
Xia Hourong's vision went dark and he almost fell to the ground.
"father!"
Seeing this, Xiahou Ting'an quickly went to help him, but was pushed away.
"You traitor! Do you know how much trouble you have caused this time!"
Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill was lost. If Jiang Yucheng knew about it, their whole family would not be able to eat it!
Not to mention that he wanted to protect Xiahou Ting'an, if this matter was revealed, he might not even be able to protect himself!
Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill is an inherited treasure of the Tianling royal family. If it falls into the hands of anyone, it will become a huge hidden danger!
It was obvious that the other party had been targeting them from the beginning! I definitely want to use this Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill—
Suddenly, a white light flashed in Xia Hourong's mind!
Who in this world would be so obsessed with this thing? Even spending so much effort to snatch it
You know, I got this from Di Ji two years ago!
A ridiculous idea came to mind, making Xia Hourong couldn't help but tremble.
When Xiahou Ting'an saw his reaction from the side, his heart skipped a beat.
It seemed like things were more serious than he expected.
But at this time, Xiahou Ting'an thought that he was worried about Jiang Yucheng, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, he became more concerned.
He came closer, lowered his voice, and said:
"Dad, aren't you just worried about Jiang Yucheng? In fact, you don't have to think so much! He, Jiang Yucheng, was also involved in what happened to Emperor Ji back then, and he will never escape! With this handle, he doesn't dare to do anything to you. !”
Xia Hourong suddenly looked at him, shocked and angry:
"What else do you know!?"
