Chapter 199: Meeting 16
Bai Jinyu guarded Qianxi and fell asleep, and fatigue swept over, she wanted to go back to her room to rest, but when she turned her head, she saw that the maid named Huang Gu looked inexplicably nervous, staring at herself for a moment, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
"Do you have a problem?" Bai Jinyu asked.
"Yes," Huang Gu lowered her head in a panic and said, "No, no, there is no ......"
Bai Jinyu glanced at her and continued to walk out, although she was suspicious in her heart, she didn't want to worry about it anymore.
Her character has always been that more things are better than less, and she has only been in Su Mansion for half a day, and even if there is anything in Su Mansion, it will not be her turn to get involved.
However, he didn't take three steps forward, and there was a "thump" sound of his knees hitting the ground behind him.
Bai Jinyu turned around and saw Huang Gu kneeling on the ground straight, her eyes looking at her tightly as if they were about to bleed.
Bai Jinyu was so frightened that he took two steps back and exclaimed, "What are you doing?!" ”
Huang Gu buried her head and didn't say a word, but her shoulders began to simmer one by one.
Bai Jinyu was confused, although she didn't know why she was like this, but her intuition must be something not simple. She simply squatted down and asked cautiously: "Don't cry, don't cry, I can't stand someone crying in front of me!" Tell me what the hell is going on, and if I can help you, I'll help. ”
Bai Jinyu said sincerely, Huang Gu slowly raised her head, and Bai Jinyu found that her face was full of tears, like a mountain torrent from a desperate embankment, flowing wildly.
Invisibly, Bai Jinyu's pressure suddenly doubled, and she became apprehensive about what Huang Gu hadn't said yet. She held her breath and held Huang Gu's shoulder, her voice was very soft, and she asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Huang Gu couldn't stop sobbing, grabbed Bai Jinyu's arms with both hands, and trembled: "Save Miss...... The slave knew that the girl was bent on the little boy, and it was inappropriate to say this at this time...... But isn't the little boy better now...... The old lady and they can bear it, but the slave and maid can't help it! ”
Huang Gu's words were messy, Bai Jinyu heard it at first and then convulsed after a little thought, and the previous little sleepiness suddenly dissipated like a stick!
"Did you say Su Lihua?!" Bai Jinyu asked with a stern expression.
"Yes! It's Miss! Huang Gu nodded again and again, and said to herself without waiting for Bai Jinyu to ask: "My young lady has been missing for a month!" The old lady has been sending people to look for the young lady, but by this time there is no whereabouts......"
Bai Jinyu was so shocked!
Her head was stunned for a while, and the next moment she stood up resolutely and said to Huang Gu, "Where is the old lady?" Take me there! ”
Huang Gu immediately stopped crying, stood up and led the way outside, her back was resolute, and she had already forgotten about any transgressions, rules, and proportions.
Bai Jinyu followed behind Huang Gu with a solemn expression, filtering countless questions in his mind as he walked, yes, now that I think about it, some things are too abnormal, I must ask clearly.
The Shilang's Mansion is not very large, and the two of them passed through several corridors one after the other, and then came to the main wing room in the backyard. The candlelight in the main compartment was brighter than elsewhere, and two figures were reflected in the door, one standing and one sitting, the sitting cloud sideburns was a woman, and the standing long shirt was a thin man.
Huang Gu stepped forward and tapped the door twice, and Su Ce's startled voice came from the door: "Who is it?" ”
"It's me, sir." Huang Gu stood in front of the door and replied respectfully, although the people inside couldn't see her, she still kept the courtesy of the master and servant.
A dissatisfied voice came from inside: "You don't take care of that child, why are you here?" ”
Huang Gu was silent for a moment: "I ......"
"Master Su, it's me!" Huang Gu was stunned, Bai Jinyu simply raised her voice and said, "I have something to ask about Lihua!" ”
The figures at the door glanced at each other, and after a while, the seated figure got up and walked from the inside to the door. The next moment, the door was opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was Wen Ruolan.
The light in the room was hidden behind her, so that Bai Jinyu couldn't see her face clearly, but her hair was still neat and high, and Bai Jinyu had a trace of indescribable taste in her heart.
Her mother is also a rare figure, her daughters have been missing for a month, and she still wears exquisite makeup and beaded sideburns every day.
Wen Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Come in!" ”
Bai Jinyu followed Wen Ruolan into the house, and the door was gently closed behind her.
The main compartment is divided into two rooms, the outer room is a small living room, and the inner is the bedroom. When Bai Jinyu entered, Su Ce was on the main seat in the living room. As soon as he saw Bai Jinyu, he immediately stood up, looked her up and down, and said in surprise: "Why are you dressed like this?" Where have you been? ”
Bai Jinyu was shocked to realize that he was still wearing a night suit!
How can this be explained?
She hesitated for a moment and decided to skip this question directly, and instead asked Su Ce directly: "Su Lihua has been missing for a month, is this true?" ”
Su Ce and Wen Ruolan panicked, the two looked at each other, Wen Ruolan stepped forward and said, "Jinyu, I was just about to tell you about this matter......
There is no need for Wen Ruolan to go any further, Bai Jinyu already knows the facts. She waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to say more, and then asked: "The letter I received in Luzhou ten days ago, the invitation called Su Lihua's handwriting, must not have come from her!" ”
Wen Ruolan said: "No, that letter is indeed from Su Lihua's hand. ”
Bai Jinyu was a little confused: "But, in terms of time, she should have disappeared long ago by then, how could she still write such a letter to me?" ”
Wen Ruolan was silent for a moment and said, "That's Lihua who had expected all this!" ”
Bai Jinyu: "Expected? What to expect? ”
Wen Ruolan's eyes finally reflected a layer of mist, seeing her like this, Su Ce stepped forward and gently stroked her shoulder, and Wen Ruolan approached Su Ce's chest.
When Bai Jinyu saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little tight, she said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, when is this happening?" ”
Su Ce stroked Wen Ruolan, who was crying, and said, "Lihua had long expected that one day she would disappear, this ...... We also found out after the fact. ”
Bai Jinyu said: "Please make it clear." ”
Su Ce helped Wen Ruolan sit down, turned around and said, "On the first day of the first month of last month, Lihua went to the Guanyin Temple in the suburbs to offer incense, and then she never returned. We sent more than 100 people to look for her that day, and after three days of searching for her, we found nothing. ”
"Later, when Huang Gu was tidying up her room, she found two letters, which were pressed under her pillow, and one was for us, which explained your whereabouts and told us to find you; The other letter was handed over to you by the person I sent to Luzhou! ”
