1035: Uneasiness

Uneasiness

2"Okay, okay. Grandma will not cry."2

Ningning did not look as energetic as usual today. He seemed to have fallen apart a little bit after hearing news of his father gone missing.

He was still a child after all!

During dinner, Uncle Jin rushed in and in a low voice, reported the news that he had just received to Old Master Mo.

"There's news about the young master," said Uncle Jin.

Old Master Mo lost his usual calmness and asked excitedly, "Where is he?"

"According to investigations, the young master has brought people to the border of country L," replied Uncle Jin.

"At the border?"

Uncle Jin nodded.

"Yes, he should be in Country X."

There was a primitive forest at the border where Country X and Country L were situated.

When Jiang Tingxu heard Uncle Jin's mention of Country X, her eyes flashed. She asked, "Uncle Jin, is this piece of news confirmed?"

"Yes!"

Although Uncle Jin was a little puzzled why Young Madam would suddenly ask this, he still answered her directly.

Jiang Tingxu put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and looked at Old Master Mo seriously.

"Grandpa, I want to make a trip to Country X."

Huh?

"No!"

Old Master Mo's words were a refusal. His grandson had already gone missing. How could he let his granddaughter-in-law go?

He would not agree to it for sure!

Even Mrs. Mo spoke up quickly.

"Tingxu, I know that you're worried about Boyuan, but we've already sent so many people over," she said gently. "Now that we know the whereabouts of him and the others, it's only a matter of time before we find them."

She was on the same page as Old Master Mo. She disagreed with Tingxu's idea!

Jiang Tingxu expected this reaction from them, hence she wasn't surprised.

"Grandpa, Mother, would you believe me if I said that I have a better understanding of the situation at the borders of Country X and that I can find Boyuan as quickly as possible?" she asked.

Well... Of course, Old Master Mo and Mrs. Mo did not believe it. How was that possible?

Jiang Tingxu had only gone abroad once in her life, and that was when she went to Country M to visit Mo Boyuan who was studying there!

Old Master Mo was even more agitated.

"Tingxu, Grandpa knows that you are too worried about Boyuan. The situation in country X these past couple of years is even worse than it was previously. If you are worried, Grandpa will send more people over."

You stay put, he added silently.

Although the last sentence was not spoken out loud, everyone present could understand it. Jiang Tingxu was no exception.

"Grandpa, I've already decided!" she insisted.

She had to go.

Because the dense forest at the border of Country X wasn't as simple as it looked.

She knew this very clearly because she had stayed there for two years!

Of course, she wouldn't say it out loud. After all, in reality, she had never been to Country X.

Old Master Mo's expression turned grim.

"No, this old man here doesn't agree!" he replied.

Before anything was set in stone, no one would agree.

Mrs. Mo reached out and grabbed her daughter-in-law's wrist.

"Tingxu, listen to Grandpa. We'll wait at home," she said.

Jiang Tingxu kept her silence. No matter how much she had to say, the two elders in the family would probably not agree with her.

It was better not to say anything!

"Got it."

Since her daughter-in-law finally agreed, Mrs. Mo felt a little relieved.

"That's good," she sighed. "I didn't get much rest last night, and our house is closed for guests. If you're bored, go back to your room and rest for a while."

Jiang Tingxu nodded.

"Okay."

After dinner, Old Master Mo and Uncle Jin went to the study room, while Mrs. Mo got busy in the kitchen. As long as she was idling, she would be unable to control all kinds of uneasy and nervous thoughts. It was better to find something to distract herself.
