Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Chapter 347 Going Out to Search

Qingzhu recognized the handwriting on the envelope as belonging to Manager Wang, and the money bag clearly did not belong to the general.

He figured it must have been left by the lady, so Yushu took the two items to Chu Xiaohuan's door.

But seeing the dark room, he quietly pushed the door open, put his things on the table, and didn't wake Chu Xiaohuan.

---

The next morning, Chu Xiaohuan rubbed his throbbing temples and groggily got up.

He didn't notice anything on the table at all as he passed by.

At this moment, he was still immersed in last night's dream.

He didn't know why, but last night Duoduo came to his dream and asked him why he didn't recognize her.

He still hadn't eaten breakfast. He went straight to the study, sat down, and frowned as he looked at the empty table.

"Qingzhu, bring me some wine."

Qingzhu hesitated to speak, wanting to persuade Chu Xiaohuan, but could only silently go and get the wine.

When Qingzhu went to tidy up Chu Xiaohuan's room, she saw that nothing on the table had been touched.

At first, he thought the general was deliberately ignoring it, but seeing the envelope with Wang's handwriting, he eventually took the things to the study.

At worst, the general will just give me a scolding; I'd better not miss any important information.

Qingzhu, holding an envelope and a money bag, gently knocked on the study door.

Chu Xiaohuan was drinking when he heard the knocking, but he ignored Qingzhu.

Qingzhu didn't hear anything and pushed the door open to go inside.

"General, this is a letter from Manager Wang, along with a money bag."

Chu Xiaohuan closed his eyes, still trying to imagine that Qian Duoduo was by his side.

At first, he thought it was Wang Cheng sending another message, but then he heard about the money bag...

"Why did she even have someone send over the money bag...?"

Qingzhu patiently explained, "General, it was...it was left here by the lady last night."

Chu Xiaohuan suddenly opened his eyes. He immediately thought that if that person wasn't Qian Duoduo, why would Wang Cheng trust her and let her deliver the letter?

Thinking of this possibility, Chu Xiaohuan asked Qingzhu to put the envelope on the table in a trembling voice.

He turned on the sound with trembling hands; he desperately needed to verify his idea.

When he saw the words "Duoduo is back" written on it, his pupils dilated instantly, his heart pounded wildly, and he quickly put the letter down.

Then, in disbelief, I looked at it several times before I was sure.

"Where's Madame?"

"what?"

Qingzhu was momentarily stunned.

Chu Xiaohuan was clearly anxious. "I asked, where is Madam?"

Qingzhu pointed to the main entrance, "He was... he was thrown out."

Chu Xiaohuan immediately got up, put on a cloak, and went out to look for Qian Duoduo.

As soon as I stepped out of the study, snow began to fall outside.

Qingzhu quickly took out her umbrella and followed behind Chu Xiaohuan.

Chu Xiaohuan stopped in the courtyard and quietly watched the snow falling all around him.

He remembered that when Duoduo left, it was snowing just as heavily.

Thinking that he still had a money bag, he worried that Qian Duoduo would be penniless and have nowhere to go outside, so he strode out.

Although he didn't run excitedly, his strides covered almost two meters.

Seeing that she was gradually falling behind Chu Xiaohuan, Qingzhu hurriedly returned to the manor and asked a few people to help her find the madam.

Chu Xiaohuan searched anxiously on the street, looking at any clothes that resembled them.

However, three-quarters of an hour passed, and he still hadn't found her. They even said they hadn't seen Qian Duoduo before.

Meanwhile, Qian Duoduo was still using crutches, braving the heavy snow to descend the mountain step by step.

Each step was exceptionally difficult; she made sure to obtain a lucky charm before descending.

She felt even more reverent going down the mountain than going up, fearing she might slip, so she was careful with every step.

By the time she reached the ground, she was already quite exhausted.

She just wanted to find a carriage to take her to the entrance of General Jianji's mansion.

She spent the whole night reviewing her actions and concluded that her money had indeed ended up in the General's Mansion.

I'm sure I can find it myself; the people at the General's Mansion probably don't care about such a small amount of money.

She hung her head, listless, and prayed to heaven that she would meet a carriage on the road and be given a ride.

With so many carriages coming and going, no one was willing to stop for her.

Finally, just as she was about to faint and her vision went black, the Fifth Prince's carriage slowly drove up.
