Chapter Forty-Eight: Personable
"Missing?" Chu Yue Qinghuo stood up, how could he be missing? She was obviously running fast that day, and they solved the two who were going to kill her in the back, and she should be safe.
"How did you go missing? When did you go missing? You make it clear. ”
Although Granny Li is vulgar, she is not stupid, but also a little shrewd. Since she followed Chu Yueqing to Haowang's Mansion, she has never appeared in front of Chu Yueqing.
She was just a rough mother-in-law, and when she was in Lehou Mansion, the Li family promoted her to be the eldest lady's housekeeper, so she obeyed Li's words and obeyed her words.
Li instructed her not to appear in front of the eldest lady for the time being after she came to the Hao Palace, and Li handed over Chu Yueqing's dowry list to Granny Li for safekeeping, she was afraid that Granny Li would not be able to hold things, so she did not let Granny Li appear.
And if you follow the character of the original owner Yueqing, I am afraid that she will never take the initiative to find Granny Li. At that time, she can swallow these dowries into her hands little by little without realizing it.
It's just that heaven is not as good as people, Li didn't expect Xia Xiang to disappear, and Granny Li was not as brainless as she thought.
Granny Li and Xia Xiang live in the same room, and Xia Xiang is the only one who can usually speak.
Seeing Chu Yueqing's reaction, Granny Li was a little stunned, she thought that Xia Xiang had been sent a secret mission, so she would not see anyone for so many days.
The Li family hadn't contacted her for so many days, so she wanted to show her face in Chu Yueqing and leave a few more ways for herself.
Granny Li's eyes widened, and she said tremblingly: "Big and small... Princess, is Xia Xiang really missing? ”
Chu Yueqing frowned and said, "It's not that you're missing as you said?" ”
Granny Li was frightened into a cold sweat, and stammered: "Hui, back to the princess, yes, it was the old slave, the slave said." ”
Chu Yue looked at her with a straight face and said, "You'd better think clearly before answering, let me ask you, how long has Xia Xiang been missing?" ”
"Yes, Princess. Xia Xiang has been missing for four or five days, and the old slave lives in the same room with her, and she has not seen her for a few days. ”
Four or five days? Was it the day he escaped from Kenmuin?
But she has clearly escaped, how can she disappear again?
"Four or five days? Then why are you here now? Chu Yueqing asked.
"Back to the princess, the old slave, the old slave thinks, thinks..."
"Why?!" Chu Yueqing's hand slapped the table next to him hard, and said, "This princess said, let you tell the truth." Xia Xiang has been missing for so long before you came to report it, what kind of heart do you have? ”
Granny Li was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and she couldn't understand how the eldest lady, who had always been kind, could say such harsh words. If this confirmed her uneasy intentions, she would have no way to live, and she would not dare to say her original intentions. knelt beside the fire at the moment, and said hurriedly: "Princess, the old slave has been wronged!" The old slave doesn't know, the old slave doesn't know anything, the old slave doesn't have any uneasy intentions..."
Chu Yueqing really thought for a moment that Granny Li was the one who harmed Xia Xiang, because sometimes the person who reported the case was very likely to be the perpetrator. However, at this time, Granny Li's expression was so sincere, she was a little unconvinced, could this mother-in-law be innocent?
If it weren't for her, how did Natsuka disappear? Did she run away on her own, or was she taken captive by someone else?
"Okay, don't talk about it. It's not up to you to decide whether you are wronged or not, and it's not the princess who has the final say. Chu Yueqing immediately made up his mind and said, "Which of you is faster, go to Jing Zhaoyin to report the case?" ”
If she escaped by herself, it would be okay, if she was really kidnapped by others, I just hope that she will have time to save her life!
The people in the room were all shocked, and there has never been a big family that would report a crime for a maid? Usually it doesn't work.
Especially in the palace, I don't know how many eunuchs and palace maids disappear inexplicably every year, and the people in the palace are like Spiegels in their hearts, knowing that they are all dead, and they can't even find their corpses.
Don't those ladies in the palace know? Doesn't the queen know? Molian knew, they must all know, but they didn't say a word about these things. Because, in their hearts, the lives of the subordinates are despicable, where is it worth their trouble?
Mo Lian has a straight temperament, and when she heard Chu Yueqing's words, her heart was agitated, and she said, "Princess, the slave is willing to invite Jing Zhaoyin." ”
"Okay, Molian, you go, set up the carriage in the house, and take the two little guys. Remember not to be nervous, don't panic when you see Jing Zhaoyin, and explain things in detail. ”
"The slave knows."
Mo Lian turned around and went out to run errands, Chu Yueqing glanced at Granny Li who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up, wait on the side." ”
Granny Li's face was like ashes, and she knew that she should stay in the house in peace, and she came here to ask for some bad luck.
——
The little servant set up the carriage and hurried to Jingzhao Yin's mansion.
Jing Zhao Yin Qian Tu was drinking tea in the flower hall, and rainy days were his favorite weather. Over the years, he has summed up a lot of experience, and the time when the cases occurred was mostly dark nights, rainy nights, and snowy nights. There are very few crimes committed in the blue sky and daylight.
Today is a gloomy rainy day, if you are lucky, it is estimated that a new case will come to the door tomorrow, and he will have to get rid of this idle and panicked day.
A young man in a green shirt hurriedly came to report, "My lord, someone in the main hall asked to see him, saying that he wanted to report the case." ”
Qian Tu had just taken a sip of tea, and when he heard this, he immediately put down the tea cup in his hand and looked happy, "It seems that today's luck is good." Xiao Zhao, take me quickly. ”
Xiao Zhao led the way in front, seeing that the corners of his adult's mouth were about to rise to the sky, he couldn't help but persuade, "My lord, I'm afraid your look is not good, but there is a girl in the main hall, and her heart is very high." What if you are like this, people will be angry and leave? ”
Qian Tu immediately said, "Xiao Zhao, you're right, you can't affect my case because of my personable temperament." I've got to be a little stricter. ”
Xiao Zhao stopped talking, and secretly slandered in his heart: The last time Master Sun was angry, it was because you always had a gloating face when you heard about the case, okay? It's because of your personable temperament~
In the main hall, Mo Lian saw Qian Tu with an extraordinary temperament, and was stunned for a moment, why is Jing Zhaoyin so young, but she didn't stop talking. Said: "My lord, the slave maid is the maid of the Hao Palace, and there is a maid in the mansion who has been missing for nearly five days, and the princess ordered the maid to come and report the case." ”
Qian Tu hid the joy in his heart and said, "Don't panic, tell me in detail what happened." ”
Suddenly, after listening to Mo Lian's relay, Qian Tu's face became solemn, I am afraid it will be difficult for this missing maid to survive. glanced at Mo Lian and thought: This little girl is probably close to the missing person, so she is so anxious. I'll be euphemistic.
"To investigate the case, we must first go to the scene of the crime to investigate. I wonder if I can go to the palace today to investigate? (To be continued)
