Chapter 21: Trouble after Trouble
"It's fine. Li Xuewen replied.
Back in the living room, the housekeeper Zhao Bo happened to check it back and reported to them: "It's the air switch that tripped, not a power outage." ”
"Okay, how can the air switch trip?" Zhou Hongrui said.
Concubine Qiao and Li Xuewen glanced at each other, could it be the pot?
"The purple casserole in the kitchen was a little strange just now, maybe it was burned, so the air switch jumped down. Li Xuewen told them about the kitchen.
"Unplug the pot and turn the switch on. Zhou Linyao turned his head and commanded Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao nodded and walked to the kitchen.
When he came out, Uncle Zhao said that the purple casserole was indeed burned and could not be used again.
Li Xuewen was puzzled and asked how it burned out.
She still remembers that she just plugged it in and didn't even move it, why did it break?
"There was a lot of water in the pot that didn't dry up, and after the electricity was turned on, it was short-circuited and burned out. ”
The housekeeper's words made Concubine Qiao think of the pot...... She was in charge of cleaning it at the time, does this kind of pot still need to be wiped dry?
Hiding in the dark, she quietly shifted her body, pretending not to hear it.
But before she could move, she felt a sharp gaze in the darkness towards her, and her heart jumped, and Concubine Qiao moved faster to the side.
"Water ingress...... Concubine, you ......" Li Xuewen also thought that Concubine Qiao was in charge of washing the pot at that time, and turned to find Concubine Qiao, but there was no one in sight.
"Where's the concubine?"
"I'm here ......" Concubine Qiao couldn't escape, she smiled dryly, and the smile on her face was ugly than crying.
I can only stand up, "I don't know how to get into the water......"
It's the first time she's washed it.
Li Xuewen was stunned for a moment, thinking of her diligent help in the kitchen, thinking that she was quite good at housework, and thinking of the appearance of the purple casserole when it burned out, she snorted and laughed.
"It's okay, isn't it just a pot, if it's broken, it's broken!"
Afraid that Concubine Qiao would feel guilty because of this incident, Li Xuewen smiled and comforted, and asked the housekeeper to hurry up and restore the air switch.
Concubine Qiao was indeed a little embarrassed, and she broke things the first time she came to someone else's house.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is Li Xuewen, will they feel that they can't even do the most basic housework because of this matter, and they can't meet the standard of their perfect daughter-in-law?
Thinking of this, Concubine Qiao quietly followed behind the housekeeper and walked out of the villa.
Sure enough, the surrounding houses were brightly lit, even the street lamps illuminated in the courtyard were also bright, only the Zhou family's villa was dark.
Hearing footsteps behind him, the housekeeper turned around, but saw Concubine Qiao following behind, "Miss Qiao, why are you here?"
"Hahaha, I caused a sudden power outage in my house, I'm a little embarrassed, I want to come and see. Concubine Qiao made an excuse of half-truths.
"It's okay, you go back, I'll do it. The housekeeper advised her.
"No, let's go. Concubine Qiao didn't give him a chance to refuse, and walked two quick steps with him to the electrical box at the back of the villa.
Taking advantage of the emptiness when the housekeeper took out a flashlight to illuminate, Concubine Qiao curiously approached.
It turns out that this is the electric switch at home!
She was curious, and she was about to reach out and touch it.
"Don't touch it!"
The housekeeper hurriedly stopped, "Miss Qiao, the electric switch can't be touched casually, it's better to be careful!"
Concubine Qiao nodded, took two steps back, and gave up her position to the butler.
The housekeeper was about to make a move, but the mobile phone on his body suddenly rang, he took it out and saw that it was Zhou Linyao calling, and hurriedly connected.
"Hey, young master. ”
"Is Concubine Qiao with you now?"
After only a while, Concubine Qiao disappeared, and only after asking the maid at the door did she learn that Concubine Qiao had left with the housekeeper.
Zhou Linyao immediately called over to confirm.
"Yes, Miss Joe is by my side right now. ”
"Good!"
After confirming Concubine Qiao's whereabouts, Zhou Linyao was about to hang up the phone, and suddenly remembered that the housekeeper was at the main gate, and Concubine Qiao's words by his side meant ......
He hurriedly told the housekeeper: "Don't let her touch the electric switch!"
At the same time, Concubine Qiao, who was bored, reached out and touched the electric switch again, and she noticed that the electric switch switches in this row were all pointing upward, with only one exception, which was different from the other switches.
Because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, she directly turned on the switch.
The young master's urgent advice came from his ears, and the housekeeper noticed Concubine Qiao's movements and hurriedly stopped: "Don't move that switch!"
Concubine Qiao then remembered that things like electric switches can't be played with, so she hurriedly pulled down the switch again and restored it to its original state.
The housekeeper didn't have time to stop it, so he watched Concubine Qiao turn the switch on and press it down.
Zhou Linyao on the other end of the phone was still in the villa, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and all the lights in the house were turned on at the same time.
But in just two seconds, it suddenly went out again.
Hearing an exclamation from the housekeeper on the phone, Zhou Linyao secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, hung up the phone and ran directly towards the main gate at home.
Concubine Qiao was focused on fiddling with the switch, not noticing that the lights in her house had just turned on and off.
Hearing the housekeeper's reprimand, she quickly stepped aside and stopped moving.
The housekeeper held up the flashlight and checked the switch that Concubine Qiao had just fiddled with, as if it was the air switch that jumped at home.
"Miss Qiao, you can't touch the electric switch, you still let me come. ”
As he spoke, the butler went to turn on the switch.
Concubine Qiao looked at the window of the villa and found that it was still dark, "There is no electricity." ”
"No?" Zhao Bo was also puzzled, and looked at the direction of the villa, it was indeed pitch black.
It shouldn't be!
He tried again, but there was still no response.
"Uncle Zhao, what's going on?"
At this time, Zhou Linyao ran over and glanced at Concubine Qiao coldly, with a strong sense of warning.
Turning to Uncle Zhao, he said again: "The call came from home just now for a few seconds, and it quickly went out again. ”
Uncle Zhao, like Concubine Qiao, had been paying attention to the electric switch just now, and didn't notice the movement on the side of the villa.
But now......
Zhao Bo also looked helpless, and used a flashlight to illuminate the inside of the electric box.
Zhou Linyao looked at it, now all the switches have been turned on, but there is still no electricity in the villa, and even the street lights that were still on in the courtyard are now all extinguished.
The man gave Concubine Qiao a fierce gaze, and Concubine Qiao turned her head casually, pretending not to know anything.
Zhou Linyao stared at her for a long time, but the woman was too thick-skinned and had no awareness of admitting her mistake at all.
"Let's find someone to repair it as soon as possible!"
Zhao Bo nodded, and was about to contact the workers to repair it.
Concubine Qiao didn't want to stay with Zhou Linyao, who was spreading danger signals and wanted to settle accounts with her, so she subconsciously followed behind Uncle Zhao to leave together.
"Where are you going?"
