Chapter 340: Watching from the Sidelines

"Thank you, it's just a trivial matter, don't be afraid of this kind of scene in the future, as long as I am in Huo Beiting, I will definitely not blame you." ”

After packing up, the other servants quickly retreated.

Yan Qing played in the room for a while, and then came to the hall again, she felt a little thirsty, so she asked the servant to pour herself a glass of water.

The servant brought the water and said, "Dear lady, I hope you will drink this glass of water." ”

Yan Qing took a few sips before she found that she could accept the water.

One of the sharp-eyed servants suddenly found the Chinese label on the water, and then said, "Are these specially prepared by the young master for the lady?"

"Yes, this time it was flown in. ”

After hearing this sentence, Yan Qing glanced at the water bottle, and when she saw the label in Chinese, she understood why she drank this water so smoothly.

It turned out that Huo Beiting had prepared it in advance.

After the other servants saw this scene, they all praised and said: "The young master is really a good person, he and his wife are very affectionate and so well prepared, it is really enviable"

"Yes, yes, otherwise how could you think of such meticulousness. ”

The servants were all appreciating Huo Beiting's concern for Yan Qing, but the housekeeper Sophia stood aside and watched all this coldly.

After Yan Qing returned to the room, she said to the servants: "What's this, isn't it just a few bottles of water? ”

"If a few bottles of water are love, then what is this red wine?"

"Could it be that the young master is better for you?"

Sophia raised her eyebrows proudly: "I can't say that, anyway, the young master is still very good to me." ”

Although these words were not said in front of Yan Qing, the door was not closed tightly after Yan Qing walked to the room, so these words also reached her ears.

She frowned, why did she think that the tone was so sour, as if she was jealous?

She glanced back at Sophia, and when she saw the smug expression on her face, she thought to herself that this butler was a little strange.

When she was alone with Huo Beiting in the evening, she also deliberately talked about this matter, and after Huo Beiting heard it, she smiled and said, "What are you thinking? Sophia is the old housekeeper here, she has been with me for many years, she won't have this kind of thought." ”

"Why not, I think she's obviously jealous, otherwise how could anyone say that. ”

Huo Beiting stopped Yan Qing's head, and then comforted her and said: "You really think too much, for so many years, this manor has been taken care of by Sophia, and she has feelings for this family, so sometimes she may speak a little too much, but her heart will definitely not have other thoughts." ”

Hearing Huo Beiting say this, Yan Qing didn't think much about it, maybe what he said was right.

In the middle of the night, Yan Qing was thirsty, she got up and poured water to drink, because the bottles of water were put downstairs, so she went downstairs to get them.

She stepped down the stairs, and had just taken a few steps when suddenly her feet slipped and she fell out.

The stairs were long, and she rolled straight down them.

After falling to the ground, she cried out in pain.

The miserable shout immediately attracted Huo Beiting and other servants.

There was blood flowing from Yan Qing's arms and legs, and several servants were very worried when they saw it.

They asked, "Madame, are you alright?"

Yan Qing didn't speak, in fact, the wounds in these two places were still quite painful, and the wounds were still bleeding out, which was particularly scary to look at.

Huo Beiting walked over and hugged Yan Qing, and then called the family doctor.

"You guys rushed over immediately, Yan Qing was injured. ”

"Okay. ”

A few minutes later, the family doctor arrived, they examined Yan Qing, and found that there was no fracture, Yan Qing only had two scratches on his arm and calf, both of which were very deep, so a lot of blood flowed.

"Don't be nervous, you'll be fine in a while," the doctor disinfected the wounds on his arms and calves, and then began to bandage them.

"Don't touch the water, don't have intense activity, and be careful not to eat any irritating food. ”

Yan Qing nodded after hearing this and said, "Then when will this wound be healed?"

"At least half a month. ”

Yan Qing looked up at the servants around her, she found that the faces of the servants were all panicked and nervous, they were all very worried looking at Yan Qing, but there was one person in the crowd with a different look, that was Sophia, her face was very calm, as if she was watching a bustle.

From the expression on her face, Yan Qing understood the news, she was not worried about herself.

Originally, Yan Qing thought that she had slipped just accidentally, but now she had another idea.

The family doctor told Yan Qing some other precautions before leaving the villa.

The panicked villa also temporarily returned to calm, and Huo Beiting took Yan Qing to the bedroom to rest.

Yan Qing looked at Huo Beiting and said, "I don't think this matter is right. ”

"Isn't it that you are thinking too much, when it is dark at night, you should ask the servant to come and pour water for you, and you have just come to this manor, and you are not very familiar with this place, in fact, you can ask Sophia to come over and help. ”

After hearing the name Sophia, Yan Qing frowned tightly, and she said, "I don't think this matter is simple, someone must be harming me behind my back." ”

"Why do you have to think so, I am very familiar with all the people in this family, they will not have this kind of mind. ”

"But that's how I feel, if you don't believe me, I don't say it. Yan Qing was a little angry, she didn't understand why he didn't believe what she said.

Huo Beiting also noticed that Yan Qing was a little angry, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll investigate now, if the results of the investigation are not abnormal, then don't speculate anymore." ”

With that, he turned around and went to the stairs, and he turned on his flashlight and carefully shone every inch of the stairs, when suddenly he spotted two particularly bright spots.

The staircase is usually maintained by servants, so it is easy to see any abnormalities.

He touched it with his hand and found it greasy.

"Somebody poured vegetable oil here. ”

After thinking of this, Huo Beiting realized that this accident was not simple, and he also felt that what Yan Qing said was right.

But who did it? Now he has no direct evidence, but what he can be sure of is that without these two vegetable oils, Yan Qing would not have slipped suddenly.
