Chapter 22. Missing maidservants
By the time Yan's mother came in to recover her life, Jing Wu had already coaxed Bai Xianyu to finish a whole bowl of rice porridge.
The eldest lady obviously didn't want to talk about some private affairs in the back house in front of the children, and motioned to Yan's mother with her eyes to change places.
The master and servant left Bai Xianyu's room one after the other. Bai Xianyu is temporarily accompanied by Bai Jiyuan and Jing Wu, but there is no big problem.
And the temporary departure of the eldest lady naturally relieved the three people in the room.
Jing Wu also had the opportunity to ask about the specific situation of Bai Xianyu last night.
Bai Xianyu repeated the previous words, this time without the first panic when he stated, and even blushed embarrassedly when he said that he felt that his vomit smelled bad.
As a six-year-old girl, Bai Xianyu actually has no concept of death, after experiencing the initial fear, she was immediately carefully appeased by her relatives, and the fear of this matter in Bai Xianyu's heart is not so high, she can't even remember the feeling and panic when she was suffocated, and can only vaguely remember that people seem to be a little numb and a little cold.
But Bai Xianyu would never have thought that the numbness and coldness in her memory would actually almost kill her.
The pomelody of Bai Xianyu made Bai Jiyuan feel at ease. Bai Jiyuan, who is not a party, is not General Bai who has gone through hardships many years later, Bai Jiyuan, who is only eleven years old at this time, is still a complete fool, and when he saw that his sister was normal, he also put his mind at ease. even secretly regretted his previous recklessness, of course, this regret is mainly based on the fact that he messed up this first time in more than ten years.
At this time, Jing Wu naturally didn't know the inner thoughts of the two brothers and sisters.
She had silently begun to analyze the incident in her mind.
The person who made the black hand was hiding in Bai Xianyu's bathhouse, indicating that the other party knew that Bai Xianyu was going to bathe at that time. Moreover, the gate of Zhining Courtyard is guarded by a special mother-in-law, and it must be inconvenient for strangers to start. Then the person who started it will almost certainly be someone from the Zhining Courtyard.
But last night, in fact, it was not particularly late for everyone to finish eating, according to the time when they finished eating and the time it took on the road of white pomelo. When Bai Xianyu was about to bathe, most of the servants were still on duty.
In fact, most of the work in Zhining Courtyard is done by many people. For example, sprinkling and sweeping, the kitchen, and the flowers are all done by at least two or more people, not to mention the master who is waiting beside him. Whoever is missing is actually very conspicuous.
So if you don't alarm your companions, it's actually difficult to come to Bai Xianyu.
Don't......
Jing Wu suddenly raised his head and asked Bai Xianyu.
"Miss Twelve, why don't you bring her with you except Huang Yu? I remember that there must have been two of your personal maids. ”
Bai Xianyu was stunned by Jing Wu's sudden question.
"Jing Wu is saying, Luo Bin?"
Before the age of twelve, the young lady of the Bai family had four little maids and one personal big maid. But Bai Xianyu is a concubine, so there are two close-fitting big maids around her, but the sisters around Bai Xianyu have only one personal maid regardless of whether the relationship is good or not. Bai Xianyu also doesn't like to show off her status as a concubine, so she usually only takes one person with her when she goes out. Compared with the quiet Luo Bin, the lively and talkative Huang Gardenia is naturally more liked by little girls, so generally speaking, Bai Xianyu is mostly accompanied by Huang Gardenia. Over time, a situation has been formed in which Huang Yu is outside the main and Luo is inside. But what is in the room of a six-year-old girl? Besides, Bai Xianyu still lives in Zhining Courtyard, and everything is taken care of by his own eldest lady. Luo Bin's existence is more like a symbol of the status of a concubine. In fact, Luo Bin, there is almost nothing to do on weekdays.
"Yes, where is Luobin? She is also your personal maid, you have an accident, why hasn't she ever appeared? ”
When Bai Xianyu heard Jing Wu's words, he couldn't help frowning and thinking about it. She didn't seem to have seen Luo Bin in a while.
"Anyway, Luo Bin is not normal, what about Huang Yu next to you, sister?" Bai Jiyuan was rarely smart, and asked in addition.
"Huang Yu? Isn't Huang Gardenia there? Bai Xianyu, who was still thinking about where Luo Bin went, heard that Huang Yu was gone at first glance, and was even more confused, and couldn't help but look at Jing Wu in confusion.
Jing Wu didn't speak, only shook his head.
Her own lady was unconscious, and her personal maids were nowhere to be found.
Huang Yi is suspicious, and Luo Bin is even more suspicious.
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other.
Bai Jiyuan seemed to remember something at this time, pacing back and forth, and finally said uncertainly.
"When I came here before, my mother seemed to ask me where Sakura had gone, did my mother tell Sakura to take care of her sister in the first place?"
Bai Jiyuan's words made Jing Wu's heart tremble.
"I remember, Sakura is Rakuba's sister?" Jing Wu looked at Bai Xianyu inquiringly.
Bai Xianyu nodded subconsciously.
The situation is becoming more and more complicated.
Jing Wu unconsciously took out a throat lozenge from the sugar box in Bai Xianyu's hand. After a while, a cool sensation ran down my throat and went straight to my head.
Jing Wu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had eaten the throat lozenge he had just given to Bai Xianyu.
I bite the throat lozenge in one bite, and a strong cooling sensation explodes in my mouth.
Falling color, yellow gardenia, and then falling cherry blossoms. What the hell is going on here?
Jing Wu really wanted to investigate the cattiness of this. But the truth is that she has neither the ability nor the position. An eight-year-old housekeeper's daughter wants to investigate what happened in the back house, which is simply a fool's dream.
Now Jing Wu can only hope for the eldest lady.
The ignorant white fiber pomelo made Jing Wu feel that he had a long way to go.
In fact, so far, Bai Xianyu has survived by relying on his own auspicious nature, whether it is chickenpox five years ago or suffocation five years later, Jing Wu has no ability to prevent Bai Xianyu from being harmed in time.
Jing Wu felt a little self-blaming, but he understood that he seemed to be really powerless at the moment.
"Jing Wu, is it delicious?"
Jing Wu, who was thinking wildly, was stunned by this question.
came back to her senses, but saw Bai Jiyuan with a shy face, looking at her with blank eyes.
"Sixth Young Master, ask Miss Twelve for a ...... to try, uh."
Jing Wu originally looked at Bai Jiyuan and said this, but when he talked about "Miss Twelve" later, he turned his attention to Bai Xianyu. I just saw Bai Xianyu sitting on the bed, hiding sugar. A posture that is reluctant to be shared.
"Eh, Sixth Young Master, this candy is not delicious, it's too spicy......"
"Don't lie to me, it smells good."
"Hehe, Sixth Young Master, is it time to discuss whether sugar is fragrant or not? Now that the situation is so serious, you can have a snack. ”
Jing Wu really didn't understand how the topic had shifted to a piece of candy.
Obviously just talking about the missing maidservant.
After listening to Jing Wu's words, Bai Jiyuan, who was trying to snatch sugar from Bai Xianyu's hand, turned around with a smile.
"Jing Wu, there are some things that we can see but can't say; There are some things that we can do and say; There are some things that we can only listen to; There are also some things that are better not to listen, not to watch, not to say, not to do. ”
After speaking, Bai Jiyuan turned around again and continued to grab the candy to eat, as if it was not him who spoke just now.
