Chapter Seventy-Nine: Something Under the Bed
"What's wrong? What's there to shout about? Mama Xu frowned, very displeased, these little girls are not calm at all, far inferior to themselves back then.
"Mama, Mama." The little girl was so frightened that she took two steps back, her legs and feet were weak, she fell to the ground, her eyes staring at the bottom of the bed, and one hand trembling and pointing to the bottom of the bed, "There, there......"
Seeing her like this, Cui Huan hurriedly looked under the bed, where a rag doll with a needle on its head was lying quietly under the bed. She was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted, bent down, pressed against the ground, and reached out to pull the rag doll out.
"Mama, this is ......" Cuihuan held the rag doll in her hand to show Mama Xu, Mama Xu's head was raised in the direction of Liang Youruo, Cuihuan immediately understood, and held the doll in her hand to Liang Youruo, "Madam, look." ”
Liang Youruo took the rag doll, and the embroidery on it was indeed her birthday, and her voice suddenly rose a few points higher than usual, "Who?" Who is it? ”
"Xu Man, check, check well, don't let go of any clues." Liang Youruo glanced at Luo Jiao, her tone was cold, and her face was very serious.
Luo Rao stepped forward, "Mother, my daughter has a few questions she wants to ask Mama Xu, maybe it will be helpful to find out who makes the doll." ”
"Well, you ask."
Luo Rao turned around, paced slowly, and walked in front of Mama Xu, "Mama, Luo Rao wants to ask if it's still a bottle that is cleaned every day?" ”
"If you return to Miss San, it is the bottle. Since the last time she found out that she was not serious, the old slave had reprimanded her, and now this habit has changed. Bottle, you come out. ”
The little girl who was named hurriedly stepped forward and took two steps, looked at Xu Man at a loss, and then called out in a low voice, "Mama." ”
Xu Man nodded, she probably guessed what Luo Rao meant, so she said, "Bottle, the third lady has something to ask you, don't be nervous, just answer truthfully." ”
"Yes."
"Bottle, let me ask you, how have you cleaned since Mama Xu trained you last time?"
The bottle looked a little embarrassed because she was not serious last time, "Third Miss, the slave has always been serious since then, and she has never made such a mistake again." Every day at dawn, the slave and maid began to clean these places, and by the time they had finished cleaning the lady's house, it was already dawn. No matter where they are, the slaves and maids have cleaned up very carefully. ”
"Madame is not in good spirits these days, and Madame is still asleep when the slave and maid are cleaning, but every part of the slave and maid is cleaned, and Madame has changed the incense, and every day the slave and maid sweep the incense ashes, open the window for ventilation, and even carefully clean up under the bed before stopping."
Luo Rao was a little excited, and what she wanted was your words, "That means you check under the bed every morning, right?" ”
"That's right, I clean it up carefully every day." The bottle replied happily and patted his chest to reassure.
"Is it the same today?" Luo Rao asked again.
Although she didn't know why the third lady asked so carefully, she still replied, "It's the same today." ”
"Good." Luo Rao's eyebrows revealed confidence, and her crisp voice was like a jade plate in this room, "Then when I cleaned up this morning, I could see something under the bed?" ”
She frowned in confusion when she saw the bottle, so she had to point it out more clearly, "Have you ever seen a rag doll under the bed?" ”
The bottle suddenly realized, it turned out that the third lady wanted to check this, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid has never seen it, and it was still clean under the bed at that time." ”
"Have you ever read that wrong?"
Bottle shook her head in conviction, "No, the slave and maid looked at it carefully, there was indeed nothing at that time, if the rag doll was under the bed at that time, the slave and maid would definitely be able to find it." ”
Luo Rao nodded, "Since that's the case, then I have a question." Judging from the time, we came not long after the bottle was cleaned today. At that time, she had already cleaned up under the bed, and she had never seen the appearance of the rag doll, so who knows when the doll arrived under the bed. ”
"Is it a curse?" Luo Jiao began to be alarmist, her tone was weird, and the people who listened were creepy, "This doll ...... Long legs? ”
"It's just a rag doll, don't think too much, I guess it's only people who will make the doll have long legs. Fourth sister, did you say that I explained it correctly? Luo Rao looked at Luo Jiao for a long time, intending to see how she answered.
Luo Jiao couldn't insist that there was something wrong with what Luo Rao said at this time, otherwise she would definitely show her intention, "What the third sister said is, after all, ...... This doll ...... It's also made by people, so it's most convenient to bring it over. ”
"The fourth sister is really smart, I just mentioned it slightly, and you also thought of this possibility." Luo Rao's last sentence startled the rest of the room, "This doll only came under the bed after we came to the mother's house." ”
Liang Youruo watched the development of the situation, looked at Luo Rao's eyes with a bit of approval, and she felt that she could save some snacks for the next thing, so she closed her eyes and recuperated, leaving a pair of ears to listen to what they said.
"Third sister, what you said shouldn't be true?" Luo Jiao looked surprised, opened her mouth wide, and could stuff an egg. "This ...... How is this possible? After saying this, she laughed dryly, "Who can put a doll under the bed in full view?" ”
"The third sister is still very close to her mother's bed just now, should it?" Luo Jiao looked incredulous, and then hurriedly shook her head, "I must have thought too much, the third sister has always respected her mother, and she will never harm her mother." ”
Her maid Xi Yan immediately retorted: "This can be said, Miss, you are too kind, always think of people in good places, isn't there an old saying, called knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts." ”
Luo Rao smiled, she had never seen such a thief shouting to catch a thief, a person who was cheeky and didn't blush, she walked towards Xiyan step by step, and slowly approached Xiyan step by step, and Xiyan had already lost the momentum just now, and retreated a little bit.
"Cherish the smoke, do you think it's me?"
Xiyan spoke intermittently, slurring, "No, don't dare, Third Miss, the slave maid is just guessing, just thinking." ”
"Bold." Luo Rao scolded loudly, "It's just a maid, who dares to speculate on the master's thoughts and speculate and frame? Cherish the smoke, you are really getting more and more capable, if this is put on the battlefield, your few lives are not enough to lose. ”
Xiyan hurriedly admitted his mistake and knelt down to beg Luo Rao's forgiveness.
Luo Rao looked mysterious, and only said: "What you should ask for is your mother's forgiveness, but ...... Maybe I can't ask for it. ”
Her words frightened Xi Yan, and she had a vague premonition that the fourth lady knew, and there was a kind of luck in her heart that she would not be discovered, and there was also a kind of luck that she could escape responsibility.
It's a pity that her expectations won't come true, and sure enough, Xiyan heard the next sentence of Miss Fourth that made her even more nervous.
"Cherish the smoke, do you know what's going on?"
