Chapter VIII: Searches
Xie Mulin muttered the word "go out" in his heart, and as soon as his eyes broke, he returned to the cramped cabinet.
She looked down at her body, the quilt wrapped in the quilt, and the dress she was wearing, were still the same as before she entered the study space, and even the wrinkles on the quilt had not changed.
It seems that when she entered the study space, she only mentally went in, and her body did not move. I just don't know what the state of this body is when she is in the study space? Is it a deep sleep that does not wake up? Or do you leave it as it is?
As long as it's not like a dead man.
In any case, she'd better stay out of the study space and stay too long if she did. She didn't have a reliable companion by her side, it was too dangerous to do such a thing, and if she was discovered, God knows what would happen to her. This secret must not be revealed to anyone.
Xie Yingrong thought that she was unconscious and accidentally exposed the fact that she was reborn, which is a lesson from the past. She's got to learn this lesson!
Xie Mulin secretly reminded himself, and as soon as his mind moved, he pulled his right hand out of the bed.
Her fingers were pinching a small blue pill from the travel medicine box. This small pill is a special medicine for colds, and it should be symptomatic to treat her current symptoms. But Xie Ying is really a twelve-year-old child, will there be any side effects from taking adult medicine?
However, Xie Mulin can't do so much now. The instructions said that she could take one or two tablets of this medicine at a time, and she took one pill. It was already yesterday that she fell into the water and had a fever, and after such a long time, if the fever did not go away, she would really burn into a fool. Dead horses should be treated as live horse doctors, so let's get the fever off first!
Shermulin shoved the medicine into his mouth. In fact, there is a thermos cup in the bag she puts in the study space, which contains the tea bags she brewed. Shortly before getting off the high-speed train, she refilled half a cup of boiling water. I checked it just now, and the tea is still warm, but it is very strong. I don't know if such a strong tea will affect the efficacy of the medicine, so she didn't bring it out.
There was no water, so she swallowed the medicine dry, and her heart suddenly calmed down.
This medicine has a sedative effect. Now, she should get some sleep first, and wait for the medicine to work.
Probably because Xie Yingzhen had never taken Western medicine, the medicine worked quickly. Xie Mulin gradually felt sleepy, and his body was already very tired, and after a while, he became confused.
Half-asleep, she heard three or four people break into the small storeroom, and one of them had a sharp voice that sounded familiar, as if it was Mother Qian.
Mother Qian is instructing the girl who brought it: "Look carefully!" But everything they have moved, they must check it clearly, and they can't let go of anything that can be entrained! ”
The others hurriedly dispersed and rummaged through the cabinets. Mother Qian took a Yahuan into the cabinet, only glanced at Xie Mulin, and didn't pay much attention to it, so she instructed the Yahuan: "Gui Zhen, you go to check Duobaoge, I'll look for the cabinet here." ”
The two worked together and rummaged through.
Xie Mulin wanted to see what they were looking for, but he was unconscious and couldn't control his body at all, so he had to close his eyes groggily and listen to the movements around him.
She didn't know how long Qian's mother had been looking for them, but she felt as if she had slept for a while, and when she woke up, she heard other people report to Qian's mother, saying that they had searched the entire house and found no more objects of unknown origin.
This is the small storeroom in the upper room of the main courtyard, and these girls were originally waiting in the upper room of the main courtyard, and they couldn't be more clear about the things in the small storeroom. They say no, and they don't. At most, some of the cabinets have been opened, and some things have been messed up or taken away. But the people were kept in this upper room, and they had already found many things to use, which was nothing.
Mother Qian waved her hand, signaling everyone to go back and wait for Cao's mother and son, and asked Gui Zhen to close the door, before she lowered her voice and said, "This doesn't make sense, how can you not find it?" Could it be that the third girl didn't hide anything here at all? ”
Gui Zhen whispered, "Maybe we just missed something?" Mom, don't worry, Mrs. Du is waiting for her there, I'll accompany you to find it again. ”
Mother Qian waved her hand, glanced at the room, and set her eyes on Xie Mulin.
Gui Zhen's heart moved: "Mom is suspicious...... The third girl hid something on the second girl? ”
Xie Mulin's heart froze, and he suddenly sobered up a little, but he didn't dare to move. If Cao's henchmen find out that she is awake, she will be in trouble.
Mother Qian walked to the bamboo couch, looked at Xie Mulin back and forth, left and right, and then reached out and lifted the quilt.
Xie Mulin had an urge to scold.
Mother Qian carried the quilt and examined it carefully, and when she was finished, she threw the quilt at the end of the couch and called Gui Zhen: "You watched the person move over, take a closer look, what is there about her?" ”
Gui Zhen took a few serious looks: "No, even the knot tied by the skirt has not changed." The third girl should not have touched the second girl. She bent down, touched the corners of Xie Mulin's sleeves and waist, and then reached under her and wiped it over, "There is nothing." That letter should have been somewhere else. Although the third girl has been here for a long time, if she really wants to hide something, which of the five upper rooms will she hide in? Why do you have to be in such a place that is so obviously suspicious? ”
Mother Qian stomped her feet: "Then it's troublesome!" If she really hid the letter in this house, it would be enough. If it is really hidden somewhere else, we want to search it, it is easy to alarm the eldest young master. Mrs. has repeatedly instructed that this letter cannot be seen by the eldest young master. If he is suspicious, how can we make it clear? ”
Gui Zhen re-rolled the quilt for Xie Mulin, and proposed: "Why don't you let Mrs. invite the eldest young master over to talk, and we can act behind his back?" ”
"No." Mother Qian said, "Others are not blind, what do you see, how can you not tell the eldest young master?" The stakes are high, and now no one except a few of us who know about it can be asked to discover the truth. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, not to mention that the few masters and girls in our big room did not come out of the wife's belly, and they may not be the same heart as the wife, just this one ......" She looked at Xie Mulin, "The people in the second room will never obediently listen to the wife." Once the news leaks out, the wife's plan can't come true! ”
Gui Zhen groaned: "This letter is so important...... The three girls can hide things so tightly, it can be seen that they have a number in their hearts. How dare she leave such a thing for too long? Aren't you afraid that others will see you? Presumably, when the wife stopped asking, she would have retrieved the letter. Why don't we pretend to be lax, keep an eye on her movements, and wait for her to put the letter back on her, and then catch a catch? If the eldest young master saw it, he quietly put a piece of jewelry on the third girl, saying that she had stolen his wife's things. She just noticed that a few more valuable ornaments were lost in the small warehouse, although they may not have been stolen by Xie Yingrong, but they could be used as an excuse to arrest people.
Mother Qian was satisfied: "This is a good idea, just do it!" It's just that it's fast, the eldest young master seems to be infected with the wind cold, and the eldest lady is also a little unwell, so she needs to see the doctor take medicine, and there is not much charcoal saved, so she can't drag it out like this anymore. ”
The two discussed it, picked out the "stolen goods" again, and then opened the door and went out.
Xie Mulin opened his eyes and looked at the backs of them leaving, feeling depressed, what was the important letter that Xie Yingrong took from the study? Why are the people of the Cao family in a hurry to chase it back, but they want to hide it from Xie Xianzhi?
But Xie Mulin was groggy and didn't have the energy to think about the answer, so he fell asleep again.
