Mama Wu stared in disbelief and opened her mouth to look up at the voice that was smiling at herself, and then lowered her head to look at the objects in the box, before she came back to her senses, and threw away the box in her hand with a scream as if she had been struck by lightning.

The gold-carved wooden box bounced twice on the ground before it stopped a few paces away from the bookcase.

The hanging toad was far away and didn't see the contents of the box clearly, although Mama Wu's reaction surprised her, but she still stepped forward to clean up.

"Don't move." Nian Sheng shouted to stop hanging toads, and still looked at Mama Wu with a smile, "What? Don't you like the snacks in this box? ”

Mama Wu's lips trembled twice, but she still couldn't hold back the anger of shock and annoyance in her heart, and shouted at the voice, "If the old slave really has something inappropriate, the young lady just goes back to Mrs. and sends the old slave out." Is this scaring a slave in the middle of the night also what a young lady like you should do? ”

Nian Sheng seemed to expect Mama Wu to react like this, and listened to her complain without anger, and waited until she was almost finished before speaking, "Well, it seems that it's really not you." ”

Mama Wu was stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't understand what Nian Sheng said for a while.

Nian Sheng asked the hanging toad to close the door of the house, and he left the bookcase and picked up the snack box on the ground, "Mama didn't do anything wrong, and it's normal to be angry." However, if this thing is allowed into my yard, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with you at all. As he spoke, he opened the lid of the box again.

The hanging toad who came back from closing the door happened to see the contents of the box, and if he hadn't covered his mouth with his hand in time, he would have screamed again.

The fine box contained not a delicious snack at all, but a dead rat stripped of its skin and limbs pinned, and its mouth had been sewn up with black threads through the roof of the jaw.

"How is this possible?" The toad asked with a trembling voice. This snack box was obviously taken by her from the old lady sent by her wife and put it in the young lady's room, and she obviously opened it at the time, and it didn't pass through anyone else's hand in the middle. The young lady is not here for a few days, and she also keeps an eye on the sprinkler in the house every day. How can a good snack become a skinless mouse?

The voice "snapped" and closed the box, and put it on the ground in disgust, "How is it impossible?" If there's a ghost in this small courtyard, anything is possible. ”

Hearing Niansheng's words, Mama Wu finally came back to her senses, it turned out that Niansheng was just testing whether she was the troublemaker.

"Miss is right. Letting this kind of thing into your yard is the old slave's fault. Give the old slave some time, and I'll find out the troublemaker. Mama Wu understood, and hurriedly assured Niansheng. She knows very well that if this matter is not handled well, her own steward will really be done.

Nian Sheng asked rhetorically: "Then how is Mama going to investigate and deal with it?" ”

All Mama Wu could think of was that the maids and servants in this courtyard were all interrogated, and then they were scolded with suspicion, "It's all cheap bones, give them a little hard to eat, and naturally recruit everything." When the time comes, fight first and then sell, otherwise it will be sent to the official. ”

Nian Sheng couldn't help frowning when she heard her words, not to mention that this kind of practice could not catch the real murderer, just listening to such a contemptuous person was unpleasant, and she couldn't help but sneer: "Is this how Mama Wu takes care of the affairs of my small courtyard on weekdays?" Then it's not surprising that this thing can come in. ”
