Chapter 426: The Caged Bird
Shen Yunjiao was so anxious that she kept fiddling with the box, trying to figure out how to open the compartment, but found nothing. In a fit of rage, she slammed the box on the table a few times, making a dull sound.
If she was not mistaken, there must have been something vital in the compartment of the box. Because of this, when she snatched the box, Dong Rao was so flustered.
Thinking like this, the force in her hand increased, and she had to look at the contents of the compartment to feel at ease anyway.
Shen Yunjiao's body was already weak during this time, but after a while, her forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, she was afraid and anxious, so her whole body became weak, and she soon couldn't support it.
She got up and fell to the closet, rummaging through the room, looking for something to break the partition of the box. Ended up messing up the room and still didn't find the right thing.
Shen Yunjiao only felt that the irritability enveloped her whole heart, and she threw everything on the table to the ground, then lifted the box high and fell down hard.
There was a loud noise in the room, and Ping Lan and Zhu Xin only thought that Shen Yunjiao had lost her temper again, so they glanced at each other and didn't go in.
There was a letter lying under the broken box, Shen Yunjiao closed her eyes and took a breath, and sat down on the ground.
She reached out and picked up the letter, and couldn't wait to open it, the words on the letter made Shen Yunjiao's heart tremble uncontrollably, and in the end, she clutched the letter with both hands, almost piercing the letter.
It was easy to stand up, but she knocked down the lamp on the table in a panic. Shen Yunjiao hurriedly lit the lamp, shook her hand and put the letter on the lamp and burned it.
When she opened the door, she was extremely weak, and she barely fell down by holding on to the door with one hand.
"Go and get Mihe. Shen Yunjiao commanded with all her might, Zhu Xin was stunned for a moment, spread his feet and ran away.
Shen Yunjiao closed the door again, whether it was Pinglan or Zhu Xin, she couldn't fully trust it, so she could only use the lotus left by Sang Yingqiu.
When Mihe arrived, Shen Yunjiao didn't have time to think, grabbed her arm and said whatever she thought: "Fang Caiqiao's mother's daughter sent Bu Shao, there is a problem with the box, and the letter inside says what we have done." ”
"Second Miss, calm down. Mihe didn't understand, Shen Yunjiao's hand clenched and loosened, and finally sorted things out in her mind, she spoke: "Qiao's mother's daughter Dongrao just sent a box to her grandmother, and there is a letter in the compartment of the box. ”
Mihe was also startled, she looked down at the mess on the ground, and it took a while to recover.
"Second Miss, where is the letter?" she asked.
"I burned it. After Shen Yunjiao answered, Mihe became even more nervous, and she kept rubbing her hands: "But I don't know what is written in this letter, and I don't dare to make ideas for Miss." ”
"It's the things that we are afraid of our grandmother knowing, you don't dwell on it, you should think about what we should do next. Shen Yunjiao urged, fortunately, Mihe can be trusted, and she will not be isolated.
Mihe's gaze fell on the step shake on the table, she stared at it for a long time, and finally picked it up: "Second Miss, this kind of thing Mother Qiao can't have, this is probably the old lady's thing." If we don't send it over, the old lady will remember and will probably call that Dongrao to ask questions. ”
"But who knows if there is a secret to this step?" Shen Yunjiao was very worried, after all, if she hadn't checked it, she wouldn't have found that the box had a compartment at all. If you send it like this...... She didn't dare to think about it, once her grandmother got the letter......
Mihe stuffed the step shake into her hand and said, "Second Miss, take a closer look, the step shake is different from the box, if there is anything wrong, you can see it at a glance." ”
Shen Yunjiao looked down, Mihe's words were not wrong, this step couldn't hide things.
"According to the slave maid, it is better to give the things to the old lady quickly. Mihe said, Shen Yunjiao glanced at the broken box on the ground: "But the box is broken, how can I give it to my grandmother?"
"Second Miss, you ...... Alas...... "Mi Hexin said that Shen Yunjiao was too reckless, and smashed the box without thinking about anything, and things became more troublesome. But she didn't dare to say it, for fear that Shen Yunjiao would punish her.
"It looks like we have to change the box. After a long time, she finally spoke, and the old lady must be suspicious when she found that the box had been smashed, and then she could not get over it.
Shen Yunjiao didn't have time to think about it after hearing this, and immediately rummaged in the room, but she did find a box of about the same size. Mihe was afraid that she would say the wrong thing, so the two went to the old lady's room together.
The old lady was also happy to see Shen Yunjiao take the initiative to come over, after all, she was bedridden before, and now she can go out of the room, and her spirit is about to be much better.
Shen Yunjiao tried her best to hide the fear in her heart, and said carefully: "My granddaughter just walked around the yard, and I happened to meet Qiao's mother's daughter Dongrao, and she asked me to bring something to my grandmother. ”
"Dong Rao?" The old lady was a little strange, she had seen that girl, but she was not from the Shen Mansion, what could she send over?
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yunjiao had already held the box and sent it up.
The old lady took it and opened the box, and when she saw the swaying step, her eyes froze, and the emotions in her eyes became complicated.
Her old hand stroked Bu Shao, and when she looked up again, she had already closed the box, and her gaze at Shen Yunjiao had a hint of inquiry.
"That's what you got when you got it?" asked the old lady, no emotion in her words.
Shen Yunjiao didn't understand the meaning of the words, she only knew that there was indeed something wrong with this step, if it weren't for that, her grandmother wouldn't care so much.
"Yes, I never opened the box after I got it. She replied, not daring to say a superfluous word.
The old lady took out the step again, and with a few shakes, the bird on the pendant and the cage spun together.
"Caged bird...... "She whispered, one hand unconsciously tapping on her chair, her eyes deep.
After a while, the old lady finally spoke slowly: "You are not in good health, go back and rest early!"
Shen Yunjiao couldn't ask for it, so she hurriedly stepped back. Before she went out, the old lady's voice sounded again: "Don't run around these days, live in the room." ”
"Yes. Shen Yunjiao tried her best not to let herself tremble, she knew that her grandmother was going to trap herself in the room. In other words, she was suspicious.
But it was just a step shake that I hadn't seen before, why did it make the old grandmother suspicious?
"Squeak-"
There was a knock on the door, and Shen Yunjiao walked out, but the old lady stared in that direction and refused to say a word. After a while, Mama Gu went over and pressed her shoulder.
"Go and find Dong Rao, and say that I have something to ask her. The old lady finally commanded, and Mama Gu pressed her head again before going out.
