Chapter 122
Tang Xu felt that even in the room, he couldn't take it lightly, so he lowered his voice and told Xiao Cui what he had just seen and thought, and Xiao Cui couldn't sort out such a mess for a while, and fell into hard thought. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It may be a bit of a problem for me to only be Tang Jin just now, but now it seems that if Tang Ru didn't mean to deceive you, then the two of them conspired to deceive me." Tang Xu came to a conclusion, but this conclusion couldn't explain what Tang Jin and Tang Ru wanted to do.
"Just, what is the purpose of their doing this?" Tang Xu was puzzled.
"You wait for me, I'll go to the stove room and have a look." Xiao Cui suddenly thought of something, got up and went out of the room to the stove room. Tang Xu didn't understand what she meant, but she also went, after all, she would not encounter danger in her own mansion.
When waiting for Xiaocui to come back, Tang Xu tasted a piece of plum blossom cake that Tang Ru gave to Xiaocui, and the taste was exactly the same.
Tang Ru didn't need to lie to Xiaocui, so it would be passive for Tang Jin, and just now Tang Zhao said that Tang Ru told him that Tang Jin went out to buy things, and Tang Jin also kept saying that there was not much, but this plum blossom cake appeared here in Xiaocui in a blink of an eye, is the origin of this plum blossom cake a secret? Tang Xu thought about it, took another piece of Xiaocui plate and put it in his mouth to chew, and wanted to carefully taste the difference.
Could it be that Tang Ru is also like Tang Bao, he can't bear his mood, and since he has done it, he wants to give it to Xiaocui to taste it and please her? But that's too much thought. Tang Xu felt that this idea was unlikely, too stupid, not like someone with intrigues could do it, and maybe there were other more complicated reasons.
"Phew! Bah! Tang Xu was so engrossed that he didn't know what he had chewed, and the thing almost shattered a few teeth with a rattle. Tang Xu endured the pain and quickly spit it out.
"What is this?" The thing that was spit out was stained with slimy dim sum residue mixed with saliva, Tang Xu tore off a little paper skin wrapped in plum blossom cake and wiped the thing clean, it turned out to be an emerald green bead the size of a mung bean, which should be made of jade.
"Where did this come from?" Tang Xu pinched the beads in his hand, and when he looked closely, he didn't see the fame. He turned his attention back to the snacks on the table, and simply broke them all up and looked at them, but he didn't get anything more. Is it a local custom, just like putting coins during the Lantern Festival during the New Year? Tang Xu can only think of this explanation at present.
"It's all broken!" Xiao Cui returned to the room and didn't have time to say what she had found, and saw a pile of dim sum scum on the table, as if someone had deliberately crushed it.
"I just ate something, I don't know if there's anything else in it, just..." Tang Xu only came to look at his masterpiece now, and there was not a piece of complete or slightly complete dim sum, all of which were broken like grinding with a grinder.
Xiao Cui was stunned with a helpless smile on her face, but her attention was immediately attracted by the beads in Tang Xu's palm. She carefully pinched it up and looked closer, then lowered her head and thought about it.
"Do you recognize this?" Tang Xu stared intently at Xiao Cui's face.
"I didn't expect to go to the stove room and find it, but I found it here." Xiao Cui muttered, Tang Xu was even more curious when she heard it, and asked her what she was looking for when she went to the stove room just now?
"It's evidence that Tang Ru did it to find a snack." Xiao Cui said bluntly.
"What do you mean?" Tang Xu didn't understand for a while, and Xiao Cui said to go and see if there were any leftover things like flour, sugar, and flower petals in the stove.
"I see." Tang Xu felt that Xiao Cui's heart was so delicate, and he actually thought of this layer.
"But the stove room was cleaned, so clean, I couldn't find any traces." Xiaocui also said that she felt like the stove had never been used before.
"It's not normal." Tang Xu also reacted, the cook cooks and cooks in it every day, although she can also clean, but it is impossible to be really spotless.
"Yes, when Miss Tang Ru brought the plum blossom cake, it was still very hot, as if it had just been made, and she cleaned the stove so clean in a while, as if she was afraid of leaving traces. However, although I knew that there was a problem, there was still no clue to prove who did it. Xiao Cui thought about it carefully, her serious expression made Tang Xu a little fascinated, and it was completely different from the usual shy answer. Tang Xu couldn't help but want to kiss her, but now was obviously not the right time.
"Could it be that it wasn't done in the house, and it shouldn't take long to get it done." Tang Xu put forward a guess, although it seemed unlikely, Tang Xu hoped to be able to consider every possibility.
"I don't know about this, but the cook made me something to eat at noon, and it stands to reason that the stove room will have some stains, and it shouldn't be like this." Xiaocui replied, Tang Xu still had doubts, saying that it was not because the cook liked to be clean, and she cleaned it thoroughly.
"I've seen the stove room on weekdays, so I said it was too clean this time." Xiao Cui said, Tang Xu didn't doubt it anymore.
"You just said you couldn't find it in the stove room, but you found it here, this is what you mean?" Tang Xu picked up the beads again.
"Yes." Xiao Cui nodded, and Tang Xu asked her if she knew the origin of this bead.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be set on Miss Tang Ru's hairpin." Xiao Cui replied, her tone was a little hesitant, but she was not afraid that she would remember wrongly, but because she was afraid that Tang Xu would feel uncomfortable when she heard Tang Ru's name.
"I see, but how did this bead end up in the snack? Was it intentional? Tang Xu didn't have time to deliberately his impression of Tang Ru at the moment, he just wanted to solve the puzzle quickly and take precautions.
"How can it be deliberate, the hairpin is inserted on the head, and the head is always lowered when making things, if such a small thing is loose and falls in, it will not be found if you don't look carefully." Xiao Cui explained, Tang Xu suddenly realized, and admired Xiao Cui for being so smart and witty.
"It's just a common thing." Cui was embarrassed.
"It should be certain that Tang Ru and Tang Jin are secretly playing ghosts, Tang Jin took advantage of the time I went to the Imperial Medical Pavilion to do something, if I hadn't come back earlier, I would definitely not have found out his whereabouts. But they still kept their hands behind, presumably after discussing it, if I suddenly came back and couldn't find Tang Jin, I said that I was going out to buy something, and then took out this plum blossom cake, so that I wouldn't be suspicious. Tang Xu admired their thoughtfulness, but this step-by-step plan made him fearful. What the hell is going on? Is it really to spy on yourself, or is it to use the Tang Mansion as a place to hide people's eyes?
"Tang Ru and Tang Jin are obviously weird, I don't know if other people are like them." Tang Xu said again, Xiao Cui also felt scared after knowing about this, but if Tang Ru really threatened Tang Xu, what should he do with her in the future? Xiao Cui secretly thought about it, but didn't tell Tang Xu what was on her mind.
