Chapter 13: The Rise of Gem Theft (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Steward Zhang knew that he had "made a mistake", so he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and helped Geng Xiaofan up with Liu Fei'er.
"Childe forgive my sins, I am blind to the dog's eyes, blind to the dog's eyes." Steward Zhang kept apologizing in a low voice, he knew the young lady's temper, and if he really offended her "guest", he would definitely not have good fruit to eat.
"Brother Xiaofan, where did you get hurt?" Liu Fei'er had all her attention on Geng Xiaofan at this time, and she didn't care about "cleaning up" the housekeeper.
Geng Xiaofan moved his hands and feet, although his whole body hurt, he didn't seem to have any major injuries.
"It's okay, fortunately you came quickly, if you hang me for another day, I'm afraid my arm will be useless." Geng Xiaofan let Fei'er support him, such a beautiful girl cares about him so much, he still feels very "happy".
The two helped Geng Xiaofan out of the backyard, Steward Zhang wanted to take him to the front hall, but Liu Fei'er helped him directly to his boudoir.
"Miss, the master is still waiting in front." Steward Zhang carefully persuaded that although he didn't know the relationship between this son and the young lady, the young lady had never let a man into his boudoir.
"Go and tell my father, we'll be over in a moment." Liu Fei'er glared at the housekeeper.
"Brother Xiaofan, are you hungry?" Liu Fei'er pulled Geng Xiaofan to sit down in her boudoir and asked with concern.
"Not hungry, not hungry!" Geng Xiaofan smelled the unique fragrance of a girl's boudoir, and was a little confused.
"Brother Xiaofan, how did you escape?" Liu Fei'er picked up the teapot on the table and poured water for Geng Xiaofan in person.
"It's hard to put into words, I almost fell to my death." Although Geng Xiaofan was not hungry, he was indeed thirsty, so he took the teacup and drank it cleanly.
"Slow down." Liu Fei'er hurriedly poured another glass, and got up and went to the room to bring out two plates of dried fruits.
"The Han Mission saved me." Geng Xiaofan replied vaguely, you can't let everyone know about Sister Zhaojun's saving herself.
"Are you really okay? It really didn't hurt anywhere? Liu Fei'er didn't ask much, just cared about his body.
"It hurts a lot, maybe it's all internal injuries!" Geng Xiaofan sighed, he touched each of his ribs, and there was indeed a place that hurt, but it didn't seem to be broken. It seems that he is still quite "sturdy".
"You have a good rest, I'll have a doctor come and show you."
"No, no trouble." Geng Xiaofan didn't want to toss anymore, he couldn't be trusted with the level of medical care at this time.
"I have good medicine at home, I must make you get better quickly." Liu Fei'er is not stingy.
"Don't bother, I'm fine, just rest for two days. I still have to go...... By the way, Fei'er, what's going on with Brother Zhou? ”
"Zhou Da, Zhou Da may have stolen my father's gems out of his fortune." When Liu Fei'er thought of this, she was still a little helpless.
"Tell me about the specific situation, I don't believe that Brother Zhou would do such a thing." Geng Xiaofan frowned.
"After I went home yesterday, I saw Zhou Da, and I, I wanted to ask him something, so I left him in the backyard for a meal." Liu Fei'er began to talk about yesterday's events.
She wanted to ask about Geng Xiaofan from Zhou Da, but she didn't expect that Zhou Da was a little absent-minded.
Huhan Ye Shan Yu "drove" to Liuquan Fort, Liu Lotian warmly received, during the banquet to talk about his treasure of gems, Shan Yu must see it. Liu Lotian personally took it out for everyone to enjoy.
Before Zhou Da could appreciate it, he was invited away by the eldest lady, and he really didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.
"Brother Zhou, this is simple, I'll let them take it later, you can appreciate it slowly." Liu Fei'er hadn't finished asking yet, and she didn't want to let Zhou Da leave.
Liu Fei'er really arranged for Yahuan Ping'er to go and get the gems, so that Zhou Da could enjoy them alone. Subsequently, Liu Fei'er didn't care, and directly asked Ping'er to put the gem into her study.
However, when I woke up today to return the gems to my father, I found that the box was empty!
"As the old saying goes, if wealth is not exposed, treasures must be treasured. Yesterday, so many people saw the treasure, and it is inevitable that some people will have bad intentions. But just because Brother Zhou was the last to appreciate the gem, you doubt him? Geng Xiaofan was a little speechless.
"My father suspects he has a reason," Liu Fei'er explained calmly, "Zhou Da left Willow Springs in a hurry early this morning, and found this in my study. ”
Liu Fei'er turned around and picked up a piece of copper skin and handed it to Geng Xiaofan.
Geng Xiaofan recognized it at once, this is the copper skin that wraps the scabbard of Zhou Da, not only has a unique appearance, but also has an obvious "Zhou" character engraved on the copper skin.
"What does that gem look like? I mean how big is it? Geng Xiaofan asked with his hands gesturing.
"It's that big." Liu Fei'er also gestured.
"What a stone, so big!" Geng Xiaofan was taken aback, according to Liu Fei'er, it had to be the size of a watermelon.
"It's a piece of red jade, called Wanshan Red ......," Liu Fei'er introduced to Geng Xiaofan.
"Fei'er, take me to the place where you put the red jade." Geng Xiaofan is interested.
"Okay, follow me!" Liu Fei'er was a little excited, this little fan brother is very "smart", maybe he can really find the gem for his father.
Coming to the study next door, Liu Fei'er pointed to the Bogu shelf, "Ping'er put the gems there yesterday." ”
"Where was the copper skin found?" Geng Xiaofan carefully observed the lattice where Liu Fei'er said to put gemstones.
"Right under your feet." Liu Fei'er was a little naughty.
Geng Xiaofan subconsciously jumped back.
"Hehe, the copper skin fell here, he should have accidentally dropped it here when he reached for the box." Liu Fei'er walked over.
"Ping'er, I'll ask her." Geng Xiaofan didn't see Liu Fei'er's maid ring.
"I went out early in the morning, and I haven't come back yet."
"Fei'er, how long has this Ping'er been with you?" Geng Xiaofan pretended to ask casually.
She is the daughter of a Hu businessman, who came here three years ago with her father, who unfortunately passed away. She was alone, so she stayed at my house. Why, you doubt her? ”
Although Geng Xiaofan had made her tone as flat as possible, Liu Fei'er was smart and clever, and she heard the words at once.
"Send someone to find Ping'er, it's best to ask the guards at the gate to see if she's out of the fort." Geng Xiaofan's tone was still flat, he had already seen some clues.
Fort Willow Springs is heavily guarded, and this incident must have been committed by "internal thieves". Moreover, at this special time node of Huhan Yedan's arrival, I am afraid that this kind of thing will not be so simple.
Gem theft is on the rise! I'm afraid something big is going to happen.
"What do you mean?" Liu Fei'er frowned.
"Fei'er, Ping'er shouldn't be as tall as you." Geng Xiaofan pulled Fei'er to the shelf and stretched out his hand to point to the shelf.
"You, you mean, when she put it on it yesterday, it was an empty box?" Liu Fei'er understood, that lattice almost exceeded her height, and it would be difficult for her to put such a heavy box on it, let alone Ping'er, who was half a head shorter than herself.
"Fei'er, I like your cleverness." Geng Xiaofan smiled.
