Not long after I heard that Xianju had just sat down, Bao Lu arrived, drooping her head, sobbing and choking, looking like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Zhou Mingshan comforted her a few words and asked them to take her to freshen up.

After a while, Bao Lu came back, his eyes were still a little red and swollen, but his feelings were much better.

Zhou Mingshan said: "Baolu, I know that Liu Er is your cousin." It is said that she and my mother have no grievances, and it is impossible to do such a thing, so it can only be experienced on behalf of others, but it is a pity that Liu Er has always refused to explain who that person is!"

After a pause, he patted her on the shoulder again, "Think about it, have you ever seen or heard your cousin mention anything unusual?

Bao Lu nodded, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and frowned in thought.

After a while, Fang shook his head: "Fourth girl, you also know that the maids are all born in the family, and they came in on an errand when they were a few years old, although they are all in the Zhilan Pavilion, but the eighth girl can't leave the maid for a while, and the cousin was not on an errand at the top first, so I haven't seen each other a few times over the years......!

Seeing her like this, Zhou Mingshan couldn't bear it, just to find out who was behind the scenes, she had to ask ruthlessly, "Then do you know that her cousin picks the clouds?"

Bao Lu nodded, "I know, that's her aunt's son, and he's played very well since he was a child." ”

After saying a few more words, and seeing that she knew very little, he called for a pile of incense to send her back.

Su Xin looked at Zhou Mingshan, who was full of tiredness, and couldn't help but say, "Girl, take a break, I didn't sleep well last night." ”

Zhou Mingshan rubbed her temples, she was indeed a little tired, "I'll be crooked for two quarters of an hour, and you will call me in a while." After thinking about it, he said, "Liu Er's house, you will ask Hongyun to send some silver to Baolu for a while, it is also a life, and by the way, see if you can find out any news." ”

Su Xin promised to help her lie on the couch, and covered her with a thin blanket, and gently retreated to the door.

Liu Er's clue is broken, you can only start from somewhere else, but the cloud is worth exploring, there is no impermeable wall in the world, geese have left traces, people have left sounds, since they have done things, they will always leave traces......

After thinking about it for a long time, I felt sleepy in a daze, and suddenly I heard Su Xin outside talking to someone, and her voice was very low, "Just rested...... It's Miss Meng who is here......"

Miss Meng, Meng Yuechan?

Zhou Mingshan was clever and completely sobered up, "Su Xin, who is outside?"

Thinking that Su Xin was annoyed, she was silent for a long time before she said: "It's the apricot next to Miss Meng who came over, saying that she has to see the girl!"

"Let her wait a moment while you come in. ”

Su Xin agreed to open the curtain and enter the inner room, her face full of guilt, and she said, "Girl, I've woken you up!"

"It's okay, I wasn't asleep in the first place. Zhou Mingshan got up from the couch and motioned for Su Xin to change her clothes, "Did you say anything?"

Frangipani was quick with her hands and feet, and found a lotus lotus-colored sprinkled gown, and compared it with Zhou Mingshan, "No, I asked, Xing'er only said that Miss Meng explained that she had to meet the girl in person." ”

"Oh," Zhou Mingshan pondered for a moment, "Since that's the case, it must be a little hard to say, and you can step back later." Mother must have asked someone to see the second cousin, and you should also go with you to see what the second cousin lacks to bring him, I don't know if it's okay?"

"It's almost, I got up early today and went to the maid, and the second cousin said that I wanted to go out for a walk, and said that the grandmother next to my grandmother didn't go to see it. As he spoke, he didn't know what he thought, and his face flushed.

Zhou Mingshan laughed, thinking that Su Xin wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and said: "The second cousin is actually such a personality, it can be seen that he really doesn't want to take the exam, and he is still thinking about wandering!"

Frangipani pursed her lips and smiled, helped her straighten her clothes again, and withdrew.

After a while, I saw Xing'er come in with a stone blue bag in her hand, and when she saw Zhou Mingshan, she bowed her head and saluted.

"Get up, what do you girls want you to do?"

Xing'er's hand holding the burden tightened again, and Fang said in a low voice: "The girl asked the maid to give this to the fourth girl, and the maid found it when the maid was packing up Liu'er's things." As he spoke, he handed over the burden in his hand.

Zhou Mingshan was suspicious, took the burden and put it on the table, and there was the sound of gold and jade hitting each other.

At noon, when the sun is blazing, the sun shines into the house, and there is a beam of light that shines right on the baggage through the guò window lattice.

She opened it slowly, a dazzling light flashed, she couldn't help but squint, slightly tilted her head to look again, the huge ruby in the center of the burden shone brightly.

This is......

Zhou Mingshan's heart moved, and she pretended to cover the burden back again.

"Since Sister Meng is gracious, I will accept it!" he said, and called Ning Yan outside the door, "Let Lu Yun put some almond honey and jujube paste yam cake made yesterday and let Xing'er bring it back to Sister Meng to taste!"

Apricot thanked her and withdrew.

Zhou Mingshan sat down and opened the burden again, staring at the tired silk golden phoenix inside.

This is a gift from Zhou Qing, the aunt of Ning'an County Wangfu to their sisters on their grandmother's birthday a year ago. Because Yang Zhaohui is an elder, one of them is a silk golden phoenix inlaid with ruby gold and a rock, so he kept it for her.

How did that end up in Liu'er's hands?

"Pile incense, go to Chunhui Hall!"

Whatever the reason, just ask.

"Girl, isn't it a little inappropriate...... Dui Xiang asked hesitantly, she had also seen this thing last time she went to Chunhui Hall, and understood that Zhou Mingshan wanted to confront Yang Zhaohui.

Zhou Mingshan paused, "Your concerns are also reasonable." In fact, as soon as the words came out, she knew that she was impulsive again. It can be imagined that even if he asked, Yang Zhaohui could completely excuse himself with a sentence of "I don't know".

Not only did she not get any information, but she might also make a bad impression on her grandmother, but she would affect her mother.

However, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, no matter whether Yang Zhaohui is involved or not, she can always find out these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods one by one.

Zhou Mingshan called Hongyun and instructed: "You should immediately contact the people around the second brother and third sister to see if you can find out the news!"

Hongyun nodded and retreated.

Zhou Mingshan sat on the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief!

Now that Xing'er is dead, I only know that she had more contact with her cousin in front of her, and then she also had a relationship with the third sister, but those two are people in the second room, so you have to start from this side from a different angle.

Zhou Mingshan shook the ruby in her hand and fell into deep thought......
