Meng Nan didn’t know how many times he has heard this kind of polite words, so he can cope up with it easily.
Meng Nan asked: “How many brothers and sisters do you have?”
Ke Xicheng was shocked for a moment, he didn’t expect Meng Nan will ask such a question.
Meng Nan said with a smile: “I’ll just say it, I don’t know if Ke Gongzi has a sister name Ke Xianya?”
Ke Xicheng busily said: “Indeed, I have a sister named Ke Xianya. She is the youngest child in our Ke Family. Why does Meng Gongzi ask about her?”
Meng Nan asked another question: “Is this youngest sister, Xian’er in the house?”
Ke Xicheng hesitated, but then nodded his head: “She is in the house, she has been sick these days, and recuperating in her room.”
Meng Nan said: “That is the case.” Just by looking at Ke Xicheng’s face, he knew that he was lying. It was understandable to say such lies. This kind of thing was not good. If it can be solved quietly, it is naturally the best.
Meng Nan no longer asks questions. This eldest son, Ke Xingcheng, has no right to speak about this matter. Asking more was useless, it’s better to wait for Ke Daren to come home.
After drinking a few cups of tea and waiting for an hour, Ke Daren finally arrived at home.
Ke Daren was taller than Meng Nan. His face doesn’t look so good. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were full of melancholy.
“Meng Gongzi’s visit to my humble abode, I must take time to worship the Three Precious Treasures of Buddhism.”
It was Ke Daren’s first time to see Meng Nan, but he pretended to be familiar with him. After all, the other party was from the Meng Family. He shouldn’t take him lightly.
Meng Nan didn’t go around the corner anymore and said directly: “Ke Daren, your little daughter Ke Xianya, can you please call her out for me to see?”
Ke Daren’s complexion changed: “What does Meng Gongzi mean?”
Meng Nan said with a smile: “I was entrusted by someone, I need to figure out some things. I hope Ke Daren tells the truth.”
Ke Daren stood up from the chair and he became a little excited: “Could it be that you know the whereabouts of Xian’er?”
Meng Nan also stood up: “It seems that Miss Xian’er is indeed not in the house.”
Ke Daren has been very anxious about his daughter, so how will he still manage to control himself? He quickly said: “I won’t hide it to Meng Gongzi. A month ago, Xian’er and her mother went to the Qingshan Temple outside the capital to burn incense. But who would have thought after praying, Xian’er disappeared. We searched the entire Qingshan Temple, but we didn’t find even her shadow. My wife fell ill the day after Xian’er went missing. She’s still bedridden and can’t even open her eyes from crying. If you have some news about Xian’er, I hope you can tell us. ”
When Meng Nan saw that he was sincere and even his eyes reddened in excitement. He didn’t beat around the bush, he immediately took out the letter and handed it over to Ke Daren: “Ke Daren, this is a letter my friend wrote to me. You can have a look.”
Ke Daren’s hands shook when he received the letter. When he read the letter, he became even more excited. The gloominess in his eyes also disappeared as he said: “Xian’er is found, Xian’er found, hurry up, someone comes, and tells my wife that Xian’er has been found. ”
The servant went away in a hurry. Not long after, a pale and haggard-looking woman, wearing a thin coat, with scattered hair, came to the main hall with the help of two maidservants.
“Master, where is Xian’er? Where is she?” Even though she couldn’t stand steadily, she looked around the hall, but she didn’t find even a single trace of her daughter.
