Chapter 260:
News of the Brothers
He Wenyi warmly invited, "It's almost noon. Since you're here, why not stay and have lunch?"
"Well..." Murong Lingran looked at her elder brother, "Elder brother, what do you think?"
Murong Zong nodded, "Sure. I was thinking of checking if there's any news about our younger brothers at the escort agency. But it's not appropriate to visit during lunchtime, so having lunch here is a good idea."
Seeing that her elder brother agreed, Murong Lingran also nodded, "Alright, let's do that then. Sorry for the trouble."
He Wenyi gave money to Shitou to buy ingredients, and Murong Lingran voluntarily went along.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Murong Lingran naturally didn't let the semi-grown kids cook for her. Since she had free time, she took charge of the kitchen.
Of course, her cooking received unanimous praise from Grandpa He and the kids.
After lunch, Murong Lingran and her brother came to the Tiger Might Escort Agency.
The two guards at the entrance saw Murong Zong returning and immediately greeted him with a smile, "A’Zong, you're back."
Murong Zong nodded and introduced, "Big Lin, Second Lin, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Murong Lingran."
Murong Lingran politely greeted, "Big Lin, Second Lin."
Big Lin and Second Lin happily responded, "Sure, obedient."
Murong Zong added, "I came to ask if there is any news about my younger brothers."
Big Lin shook his head, "Now that you're a customer, you know Uncle Kou's rules. He won't disclose such information. But fortunately, he's in the escort agency today, and there have been quite a few people delivering letters to his courtyard. You can go and ask him directly."
Murong Zong nodded and led his sister toward Uncle Kou's courtyard.
After passing through several long corridors and turning a few corners, they arrived at the entrance of a secluded courtyard.
After exchanging a few words with the servant guarding the entrance, Murong Zong and his sister were allowed in after a brief report.
Upon entering the courtyard, Murong Lingran saw a middle-aged man carefully examining something in a pavilion. When he noticed them, he quickly stood up and greeted them.
Murong Zong first introduced Murong Lingran before asking seriously, "Uncle Kou, any clues about my younger brothers?"
Uncle Kou replied, "You mentioned that your sixth brother has a red birthmark on the left wrist, right?"
Both siblings were taken aback, and Murong Zong eagerly said, "Yes, yes, Uncle Kou, do you have news about my sixth brother?"
Uncle Kou slowly said, "My men found out that a child with a red birthmark on the left wrist appeared at the Linhe Yahang in the city. However, that child was bought by someone who claimed to be his second brother."
Murong Lingran was puzzled, "His second brother?"
"Yes," Uncle Kou nodded. "The people at the Yahang informed my men that the second brother mentioned the child was lost several months ago. They searched for a long time but couldn't find him. Someone from their village accidentally saw the child at the Yahang and informed his second brother. His second brother then used all his savings to buy the child from the Yahang."
"However, since the child was originally found by them, weak and frequently falling ill, they couldn't sell him for a long time. The Yahang had to feed him quite a bit every day. So, his second brother bought him for one or two silver coins."
The timing of the disappearance matches, and if the people at the Yahang are not lying, isn't it highly likely to be her sixth brother?
