Chapter 456: Interrogating the Family
Shi Qingran took two steps forward, glanced up at the two family members slightly, and said, "I won't leave the house today, but I'm a little bored in the mansion and want to talk to you." ”
With that, Shi Qingran turned around and walked towards the courtyard and said, "You come with me." ”
The two family members followed Shi Qingran one after the other. After entering the courtyard, Shi Qingran instructed Lang'er to make some tea and get some melons and fruit snacks.
The tea is the best West Lake Longjing, the melon and fruit snacks are the new grapes in the house, and the pumpkin cake and chestnut cake that Qingran loves to eat.
These things were placed in front of the two family members, and the two family members were dumbfounded. The two were asked by Shi Qingran to sit opposite Shi Qingran, but they were very uneasy at the moment.
"Miss, these things, let's be slaves, where can we afford it? Don't embarrass the minion, it's not easy for the minion to be a janitor......"
"Miss Ben knows that it is not easy for you, so I specially invited you to tea today." Shi Qingran took a sip of his teacup, and then pointed to the teacup in front of the two: "What?" Don't you like this tea? Why don't I let you go down and change it? ”
"No, no, no." When the two family members dared to offend, they immediately picked up the teacup and took two sips: "This tea is very good, but where can we afford to be slaves?" ”
After taking two sips of tea, Shi Qingran looked at them with great satisfaction, and handed a few grapes to each of them: "Let's eat something." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The two family members were flattered to take the grapes, and when one tasted one, they hurriedly exclaimed: "Wow! We don't get to eat this stuff on a regular basis. ”
"Keep eating, eat more." Shi Qingran said, and stuffed two pumpkin pies into the hands of one of them: "Although pumpkin pie is not a rare thing, but the chef in our house makes it, it is better than what is made outside, don't you believe you can taste it?" ”
When the two family members heard this, they took the pumpkin pie again and tasted it, and it was really delicious. So the two family members were not polite, drinking tea and eating snacks one by one.
"If you like to eat, I can also taste it in the future." Shi Qingran said, and there was that harmless smile on his face: "It's just that I have a small question for you today." ”
The two family members still had food in their mouths and didn't swallow it, and when they heard Shi Qingran say this, they were stunned. Live like two hamsters with their mouths full of food.
"Ouch! Why are you so nervous? When Shi Qingran saw it, he hurriedly said, "Actually, what I want to ask is not a big deal." ”
Shi Qingran paused, and then said: "What I want to ask is, before, did the prince's people come to the mansion?" ”
When the two family members heard this, they didn't care about swallowing what was in their mouths, and they stood up and knelt down towards Shi Qingran busily. Because they have something in their mouths, it is inconvenient for them to speak.
When Shi Qingran saw it, he had no choice but to say, "Swallow what you have in your mouth first." ”
When the two family members heard this, they hurriedly chewed the things in their mouths and swallowed them, and one of them slowly spoke: "Miss, you should ask the young master about these things." If we...... If we say it, presumably the young master will not spare us, Miss is kind by nature, so let us go. ”
The guy said this, completely unaware that what he had just said had revealed some secrets. The housekeeper on the side looked up at him, and then hung his head helplessly.
"Miss, the minions are just the family members in the house, and they don't know what's going on. What's more, there are a total of four family members guarding the gate of Shijia Villa, all of whom take turns to guard, and the servants are not sure whether there is anyone from the prince who has ever come. ”
"However, regarding Miss's lifelong events, Miss still ...... It's better to think about it yourself. If the young lady is suspicious of something, it must be more direct to ask the young master than to ask us. ”
"The young master is the young lady's own brother, and everything he must do is for your sake."
"Ouch, I'm just casually asking, why are you so nervous?" Shi Qingran said, and personally stepped forward to help the two family members up: "I just asked casually, if you say it, today's events, just like when I beat the horse a few days ago, will not reach my brother's ears at all." ”
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if this matter reaches my brother's ears, I will take all the crimes, and I won't affect you."
"But if you don't say it, then I'm afraid I'll have to cheat my brother in your name."
Shi Qingran said, turned his back again, and said, "If my brother knows about your tea today, will he think that you are privately teaching?" ”
The two housekeepers looked at each other, and one of them couldn't hold back, so he knelt down towards Shi Qingran: "Miss, slave ......"
Shi Qingran waited for a long time, and then heard the family member say: "On the day of the slave, I saw people around the prince coming. He brought a letter, saying it was for the young lady, and was ...... The young master took it. ”
"We thought you knew about it."
The other family member watched him reveal the secret, and there was a helpless look on his face. And Shi Qingran, after hearing his words, a tremor flashed in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
It turned out that Song Yuchen had sent someone to find her, and if she counted the time, it was probably before he set out on the expedition.
Thinking of this, Shi Qingran stopped staying and walked towards Shi Xuan's study. Since the family said that Song Yuchen had sent the letter, then she must find the letter that Song Yuchen had sent before Shi Xuan came back, and see what was written on the letter.
"Miss." Seeing this, Lang'er and Chasing Yun followed behind Shi Qingran inch by inch. However, Shi Qingran said: "Don't follow me. ”
When Lang'er and Chaiyun heard Shi Qingran's words, their footsteps stopped in place.
Lang'er paused, and then looked back at the teacups and teacups in the courtyard. Forget it, we'll have to clean up here later. Seeing that Lang'er had stopped, Chasing Yun also stopped, looking towards the tea table behind him.
I saw that the two family members who were called by Shi Qingran for questioning just now were busy wrapping the remaining grapes, pumpkin pie, and chestnut cake on the table with the handkerchief they were carrying with them, and stuffed them into their chest pockets.
They didn't seem to mind the pumpkin pie being stained with a little oil. When Lang'er saw it, he looked at them with some shock, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
It's too ugly for them to eat like this.
"Don't mind, girl." Seeing Lang'er's expression, the two family members said: "We don't earn as much money as you as a personal guard, not to mention that you have to support a family, life is naturally tight, and I have never eaten such a good thing." ”
