Chapter 216: Catching the Adulterer
In the evening of the second day, Zhao Mo discussed with his father Zhao Shuo and others, and returned to the East Courtyard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He had eaten dinner and washed up in his room alone. By the time he sat down at his desk, it was already dark. He looked at the books and stationery on the table, and suddenly "remembered" something: "Oops, I forgot my homework book in the study." ”
Xiaolan was cleaning up his bed, Xiaomei was cutting candles in the study, and when she heard Zhao Mo's words, she quickly raised her head, and then glanced at each other.
Xiaolan hurriedly threw down the half-packed bed and rushed over, and was about to say that he would go to the outer study to pick up the book for Zhao Mo, but he had already taken the first step and said to Xiaomei, who was in the study: "This time, the second door must not have been keyed yet, you hurry up to the outer study, talk to the little guy there for me, and get back the homework book that I leaked there during the day." ”
Xiaolan secretly stomped her feet, hating why Zhao Mo remembered this when she was not in the study, and as a result, she casually ordered Xiaomei. She had been to the study twice yesterday, and when it came to her familiarity with the terrain, where could Xiaomei match her? Although she also told Xiaomei everything she knew, how could she hear it better than what she saw with her own eyes?
She hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Xiaomei has never been out of the yard, where can she recognize the way? ”
Xiaomei glanced at her, pursed her lips, and felt a little unhappy. Obviously, the two of them took turns to go to the outer study to investigate, but yesterday Xiaolan went twice in a row, as if she had forgotten what she had said before. Now Xiaolan is about to grab the limelight again, and she really doesn't take herself seriously. But now the task is still important, and at night, she is indeed not as familiar with the environment as Xiaolan. So she shut up.
Xiaolan was very satisfied with Xiaomei's knowledge, and looked at Zhao Mo with a smile.
But Zhao Mo didn't accept her suggestion: "It's just to go to the outer study, who can't recognize the way?" There are guards there day and night, and Xiaomei asks the guard's little servant to help me find it. I read and learn calligraphy there during the day, and I have always served as a servant there, and they are the most familiar with them. Just let Xiaomei go, I still have something to ask Xiaolan to do. ”
Zhao Mo said it to this extent, in order not to make him suspicious, Xiaolan could only back down. She pulled Xiaomei to a secluded corner of the courtyard and asked, "Do you remember what I told you? What does the seal look like? In which cabinet? Which treasure box should you use to open the lock?" Brother Mo is waiting, dragging it out any longer, beware of him being suspicious. ”
Xiaolan also knew that she was reasonable, so she said helplessly: "You go and try it, if it really doesn't work, don't force it." We haven't left yet, so let's find another chance. Then he handed her the fake letter that he had hidden on his body.
Xiaomei put her sleeves up, walked out of the yard, and went all the way to the second gate. At this time, it was just after dark, and there were still people entering and exiting the second gate, she received Zhao Mo's order, and she went out smoothly. It's just that the mother-in-law on the second gate has already been ordered by the main courtyard to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Xiaomei and Xiaolan. Therefore, as soon as Xiaomei went out of the second door, she saw that she was still going in the direction of the outer study, and her mother-in-law immediately flew to the main courtyard.
Xiaomei didn't know anything about this, and went all the way to the door of the outer study, and saw that there was light in the room, and there seemed to be a figure shaking in the room. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Is there anyone?" and a small guy came out of the study: "Who are you? What are you doing here at night?"
Xiaomei said what she meant, Xiaowu thought about it and said with a smile: "Yes, I remember that there is such a thing." At that time, I was thinking, why did my brother leave that book here. But I thought that my brother would come back tomorrow, so it didn't matter, so I put the book away. You wait a while, I'll give it to you. Then he turned and went into the house.
How could Xiaomei stay honestly outside the door, and leave after the little maid took the notebook for her? As soon as she gritted her teeth, she simply followed into the house, quickly looked around the situation in the room, recalled Xiaolan's description, and soon saw the cabinet of Tibetan seals.
The little guy was rummaging through the treasure shelves, and was still muttering, "It's strange, I remember it was put here......"
Xiaomei hurriedly said: "I'll help, right? My brother is waiting to use it. ”
The little guy hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "You are only allowed to turn over the things on the shelf here, and don't touch the places next to it." If something is broken, the uncle will be severely punished!"
Xiaomei answered, and while pretending to be rummaging through the objects on the multi-treasure shelf, she smiled and said, "Is my brother sure that our brother's book is here? This shelf is not big, I can find it alone." Little brother, if you have something serious to do, just get busy, don't pay attention to me. ”
The little guy smiled: "You are a warm-hearted person. He hesitated again, "Then you look for it first, and I'll come over to help you in a while." ”
Xiaomei thought he was going out, but he just turned around and walked to the bookcase and packed up the things on the desk. Fold the paper and put it aside and press it with a paperweight, close the lid of the inkstone, clean the brush, empty the water in the bowl, and then ...... So he stretched out his hand to an idle chapter.
Xiaomei's eyes stared at his movements, watching him walk straight to the cabinet by the wall, take out the key from his waist, open the lock, and then put the idle chapter into the treasure box. Xiaomei's breathing suddenly lightened, and the movements of her hands stopped.
At this moment, someone called out to the little guy outside the window: "Rong'er, come out quickly! What the hell is going on? I told you that these flowers are all extremely precious and famous species, and there is a fixed number of how much water you water every day, and you must not water too much, otherwise the flowers will die." It's not time to water tonight, why are the pots watery?Did you forget my words again?!"
The little guy panicked for a moment, showed a suddenly realized expression, stomped his feet, casually stuffed the treasure box back into the cabinet, covered the cabinet door, and ran out under the continuous urging of the person outside: "Uncle Zhong, I'm sorry, I forgot that I had watered yesterday, and I didn't need to water it today, and the result was ......."
"What do you think about all day long, you can forget such a simple thing......
Outside the window, the "Uncle Zhong" was still scolding the little girl Rong'er. In the window, Xiaomei had quickly run to the cabinet, opened the cabinet door and took out the treasure box.
She couldn't believe that she would have such a good opportunity. Maybe that little guy Rong'er will come back soon after being scolded, and she doesn't have much time to waste! She opened the treasure box and soon found the red seal in the middle. Although I think that the red color is not as bright as the legend, I think that it is night, and the lights in the study are not bright, and it is not clear to see. Yesterday, Xiaolan had already confirmed that it was this seal, and there should be no mistakes.
Xiaomei took out the red seal again, carefully identified it by the candlelight, and found that the pattern was roughly the same as the seal on the letter that the stepconcubine of Liao showed her, so that's right.
She turned to the bookcase, took out the fake letter from her sleeve and spread it out, borrowed the ink from the bookcase, and quickly stamped the letter.
Zhao Shuo and the others, who were guarding the dark room, saw Xiaomei's movements, and the corners of their mouths showed a satisfied smile.
That's when the change happened.
Xiao Wang's henchman Huan Shuang'er and a few healthy women suddenly appeared in the courtyard in front of the outer study, and rushed directly to the door of the study. Zhen Zhong, who was guarding under the corridor, was stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly stopped: "What are you doing here?"
Shuang'er sneered: "What are you doing? Naturally, you're here to catch the adulterer!" and after saying that, a healthy woman rushed into the house. Rong'er hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but how could he stop so many powerful servants by himself? Soon, two of them grabbed his arms and couldn't move, so he called the two healthy women to rush into the house.
Zhao Shuo was stunned in the room: "What's going on?!" Jiang Cheng was also so anxious that he stomped his feet: "It's not good, this time it's a startle!" Zhao Shuo was extremely angry, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Wang holding Xue'er's hand and walking over violently.
Xiao Wang helped Xue'er into the study, and the healthy women had already held Xiao Mei and forced her to kneel in front of Xiao Wang. But there was no one else in the house, Xue'er glanced around, her face changed slightly, and she leaned close to Xiao Wang's ear and whispered a few words.
Xiao Wang's face also changed, and he asked sharply, "Where's the uncle?!"
Zhen Zhong was already so angry outside the door that his face was flushed: "How can the uncle be here?" Madam, this is the outer study, not a place where you can take the girl in and out at will!"
Xiao Wang's family originally came to catch the traitor, but he didn't expect to catch only Xiao Mei. Without Zhao Shuo here, where can it be regarded as catching a traitor? She was secretly annoyed, so she could only sprinkle her anger on Xiaomei: "Fox, shameless! What are you doing in the uncle's study at night? You were originally given to Zhao Mo by the princess to be a girl, and it is not good to wait for the master, but you want to climb the uncle, thinking that if you take the opportunity to tarnish the uncle's good reputation, will your princess be able to benefit? !
Zhao Shuo closed his eyes in the wing room and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Idiot!"
Jiang Cheng also felt that the housewife was so stupid that people couldn't look at it directly, but now that he had nothing to think about: "Uncle, how can it end now?"
How does it end? That's really a problem. Because Xiaomei was unwilling to be caught, she had some skills, and struggled desperately under the suppression of the healthy woman, so she dropped the letter that she had just hurriedly put in her arms.
Shuang'er's eyes were sharp: "What is that?" quickly stepped forward to pick up the letter, and Xiaomei was suddenly frightened.
Shuang'er briefly looked at the contents of the letter, and her face changed greatly. She hurriedly handed the letter to Xiao Wang, and Xiao Wang's face changed.
She screamed, "What the hell is going on......?" Where did this letter come from?
Zhao Shuo sighed in the wing: "That's it, that stupid woman is already a bad thing." Mo'er is right, sure enough, there are many dreams at night. Let's go and clean up the aftermath. ”
