After Furong finished instructing the servants, she hurried to Nathan Xiao's study to report. Nathan Xiao immediately put down the file in his hand, slammed the table and stood up and asked: "Have you searched the whole yard?"
"Master Jixiang ran too fast! We searched the yard for almost an hour and still couldn't find him! He must have run away!" Furong knelt on the ground and said, "It's my incompetence!"
"You've done well enough... Two hours have passed. I'm afraid he..." Nathan Xiao stumbled and fell back into the chair, "I was wrong. I didn't expect him to be so undisciplined and stubborn..."
"Master, you have been very kind to him these past few days. You have patiently persuaded him, given him everything he wanted, and taught him personally. However, he cannot distinguish between good and bad. He does not listen when you praise him, and becomes even more arrogant when you scold him. This child is hopeless." Furong said, "I don't know how his parents gave birth to such a son. The only thing I can do is to try my best to protect the people in our courtyard!"
Because if Xiao Jixiang was caught outside the yard, no one in the yard would be implicated. But if he was caught in the yard, then everyone in the yard would be in trouble, just like the Sixteenth Young Master, whose entire family would be executed.
Therefore, Furong immediately gave the order to close all the doors and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.
