Inside the magistrate's mansion.

Mrs. Fang took Su Xiang to a clean room and said, "Xian'er, this is your room, is it okay? I don't know what my daughter likes, so I'll prepare it. If you don't like it, Just say it.”

Su Xiang turned around and blinked.

Even though she was not very interested in room decoration, she could tell at a glance that the room was carefully decorated, gauzy and graceful, and very girlish.

Su Xiang nodded quickly, "I like it very much! Very satisfied! Thank you, aunt!"

Mrs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Xiang waved his hand, and Qingyun and Gao Lan immediately got busy, placing things that Su Xiang often used.

"Aunt, please sit down." Su wanted Mrs. Fang to sit down first, and then called Gao Lan.

"Gao Lan, take out some of the gifts we brought."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Mrs. Fang sat down, she waved her hands quickly and said, "No need to bring any gifts! We are very happy that you can come."

"Auntie, don't say that. I like the clothes you made for me. Of course I have to bring you some gifts to thank you!"

Gao Lan walked in with a large pile of gift boxes and placed them on the table, almost blocking Mrs. Fang's face.

She was stunned, "This... is too much."

Su Xiang introduced them one by one: "No more, no more. This is the gold-inlaid jadeite bracelet that our ancestors chose for you. This is a gift from Aunt Liu... In addition to it for you, there is also a gift for your uncle. Please accept it quickly." Well, it’s not worth it for me to bring you all the way here.”

Mrs. Fang smiled helplessly, "Thank you very much for your kindness."

The maid next to Mrs. Fang accepted the gift with great discernment.

Then, Su Xiang turned around and ordered: "Qingyun, make some milk tea later."

Qingyun agreed repeatedly, "Okay!"

As soon as Qingyun agreed, he happily ran out to the kitchen. It was time to let people outside Kyoto have a taste of milk tea.

Madam Fang's eyes flashed with curiosity, "Milk tea? Is it the milk tea that Xi'er mentioned that is popular in Kyoto?"

Su Xiang smiled and said nothing, "Exactly. Auntie, you will know after you try it. If you like it, I will give you the recipe."

"Then thank you Xiang'er for your kindness."

Mrs. Fang lowered her head and smiled lightly, like a blooming lily, fresh and elegant.

Su Xiang chatted with Mrs. Fang for a while, then brought up what happened just now, "Auntie, can I ask what happened at the door just now?"

Mrs. Fang stopped laughing, sighed, and began to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

"There have been many cases of missing children in Jiangzhou in the past two months. Most of them are ordinary children of no more than eleven or twelve years old, both boys and girls. Your uncle has been very concerned about this case since he received the first report. , also sent people to patrol. But for some reason, the other party left no trace at all, so there was no way to solve the case for the time being. "

Su Xiang frowned, "Are you sure the missing people are all children?"

"Yes." Mrs. Fang nodded, "They are all children. So far, including today, six children have disappeared. Hey... their parents must be very anxious."

Su Xiang narrowed his eyes and thought.

"This is so strange. Why are only children missing? Is it child abduction?"

The lady shook her head, "Your uncle has also thought about this and sent people to check, but so far there is no news of a child suddenly appearing anywhere. This is very strange..."

Su Xiang frowned more and more as she listened. Why did she feel that this matter seemed familiar to her.

Has she seen or heard of it somewhere?

Su Xiang was still thinking, when Qingyun walked in with a plate, interrupting her thoughts.

"Miss, Mrs. Fang, the milk tea is ready."

Su Xiang came to his senses, put this aside in advance, and introduced it to Mrs. Fang.

"Auntie, this is milk tea, please try it."

Mrs. Fang looked down and saw that the cup was filled with milky white liquid, and there seemed to be a black round body in it, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

"I'll try it."

After Mrs. Fang took a few sips, she couldn't help but smile happily, "Oh my God! My whole body feels warm after one sip. It's fragrant and sweet, and the round thing inside is chewy. This milk tea is really magical!"

Su Xiang was drinking, and when he heard such praise, he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, "Just get used to it. In addition to today's pearl milk tea, there are other drinks that are also good. I will write you some more recipes when the time comes."

Mrs. Fang looked at Su Xiang and sighed: "Xiang'er has really grown up. We haven't looked for you for so many years, will you...will blame us?"

Su Xiang lowered his head and smiled, shaking his head, "No wonder. My cousin explained the reason to me, and you are also silently protecting me in your own way, aren't you?"

Su Xiang never blamed Fang Muxi and his family.

Before Fang Muxi explained, Su Xiang had no feelings or interest in them, so he wouldn't be surprised. After Fang Muxi explained, she even learned about the protection the Fang family had for her and what they had done for her in the novel. Su Xiang was very grateful to them.

In this world, Su Xiang has family members who love her deeply, relatives who silently protect her, friends who care about her, and people she likes who will always be with her and never leave her.

Even though the future is unknown, and even though there are some people around who are against him, Su Xiang still likes the world today.

Mrs. Fang understood the implication of Su Xiang's words and couldn't help but have wet eyes. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Su Xiang quickly stood up to comfort him.

At dinner time, Magistrate Fang finally showed up. His mood was obviously not high, but he didn't mention anything and was busy picking up food for Su Xiang.

In the end, Su Xiang was almost stretched to death before he was let go.

After dinner, Su Xiang said goodbye to the two of them and returned to his apartment. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Xueman standing by the window.

Su Xiang was not surprised and winked at Gao Lan and Qingyun. They immediately understood and closed the door to give them some time alone.

Su wanted to make fun of him, "Lin Xueman, I'm a little bit underestimating you. You can come and go from the prefect's mansion freely."

Lin Xue'an, dressed in black, came over in a few steps and took Su Xiang's hand with a stern gaze.

"In order to see my young lady, I will find a way to enter even the palace."

Su Xiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Smooth-tongued."

Suddenly she remembered something, "By the way, let me ask you something..."

After listening to Su Xiang's explanation, Lin Xue closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then pondered.

"If it is confirmed that it is not a case of child abduction, I'm afraid... it's not that simple..."

"What do you mean?"

Su Xiang didn't understand.

Lin Xue An pulled Su Xiang to sit down and said seriously: "Generally, children disappear mostly for money, kidnapping or trafficking. But if it is neither of these two, it can only be the third case, which is for the sake of the children themselves. .”

"Children...per se?"

"Yes." Lin Xuean frowned, not knowing what he thought of, with a stern expression, "You don't know, the Huns on the border often use slaves to test medicine or directly use their livers to make medicine. I'm worried about those The missing child was specifically captured and used for this purpose.”

"What?" Su Xiang's eyes widened in shock.

The child...is missing...Jiangzhou...medicine...

She stood up suddenly, and something suddenly came to her mind.

correct! This happened in the novel too! She just mentioned it and almost forgot about it!
