Section 90 Chapter 83 Questioning (180 Collections, 1 Chapter)

After dinner, the old lady urged Mengyu to go back to rest early, Mengyu was already physically and mentally exhausted, so naturally she didn't excuse herself.

Served by Apricot and Peach, he lay on his bed. For the first time, Mengyu felt that her bed was so intimate. Sure enough, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels. No matter how beautifully cleaned up and warm it is, it is not as good as your own place to make you truly feel at ease.

"It's been hard for you two these days. Pack up, let's go down early and rest! Mengyu lay on the bed, looked through the spun yarn, looked at the peach and apricot who were still busy outside, and said.

"Thank you Miss for your concern, the slaves and maids should serve Miss, and they don't feel hard at all." Tao'er stopped what she was doing, looked at Mengyu, and showed a big smile.

"What Tao'er said is very true, miss, it's still a slave to keep vigil tonight, right?" Xing'er remembered the strange things she found when she went in the door early this morning to wait for the young lady to get up, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

"They all say that I don't need this rule here, is it possible that there will be thieves breaking in the middle of the night at home? Let's all go back to bed early! Dream said indifferently. If she slept in a bed and there was a person sleeping on the ground next to her, she would feel a deep sense of guilt in her heart; If she was talking in her sleep in the middle of the night, the man would have to run over to check the movement, and she would probably have a heart attack when she suddenly opened her eyes. For the sake of the next day's mood and for the safety of life, it is better not to have such rules.

"But if the young lady needs anything in the middle of the night, the slave and maid are there to wait." Apricot said insistingly.

"Your young lady, I'm not a three-year-old girl, and I'm okay to get up in the middle of the night for what?" Mengyu rejected Xing'er's proposal, suddenly sat up from the bed, reached out and lifted the veil in front of him, and said, "Tomorrow, you two remember to wake me up earlier." I've been away from home for a month, and my grandmother has been working hard for me for a month. So I decided to go to the chamber tomorrow to get a good understanding of this period, but if there is anything important going on, I will take over the matter of the feed as soon as possible. Dream whispered to Apricot and Peach.

"The slave knows." Since the young lady has no room to refuse, Xing'er naturally can't say anything more. Whatever the young lady says, they do as slaves and maidservants. It's just that in the future, she will definitely take a good look at the young lady. Miss is so good to her, if something big happens to Miss, she can't escape the blame, but I'm afraid that my heart will not be at ease.

After cleaning up, Apricot and Peach blew out the candles and closed the door to the room.

Xing'er and Tao'er are the big girls around Mengyu, and their natural treatment will be more comfortable than ordinary people. The two of them live in the same bedroom, so the way back is naturally the same. The two of them held lanterns and whispered all the way, discussing how to prepare Miss Tomorrow's breakfast, or preparing the list and handing it over to the small kitchen early.

It's just that before the two of them entered the room, they found that the room that should have been unoccupied was brightly lit at the moment.

Isn't there a thief breaking in? But how could the thief come to patronize their subordinate's room? Xing'er and Tao'er looked at each other suspiciously.

Xu is the person in the room, heard the sound of Xing'er and Tao'er talking outside, and actually opened the door from the inside and walked out.

With the light on her back, Xing'er couldn't see who it was, but it was obviously a woman dressed as a maid, so she was relieved of her worries and walked up.

The maid who walked out of the room spoke first: "The two younger sisters are finally back, and the elder sister has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

When the two of them heard this voice, they didn't know who was there. I saw Tao'er hurriedly greet her and said, "It turned out to be Sister Mei'er, but the old lady told you to come over for something?" Why don't you let a little maid go to the third lady's room to say something, and bother my sister to wait for us here in the middle of the night? ”

"Hey, sister, I have something to say, I'm waiting for you in the room, one is not windy, the other is not freezing, where can I wait. It's the two of you, the third lady has just come back, so naturally she has a lot of things to do, so I don't want to bother me rashly. "Mei'er people are as their name suggests, and when they smile, they are charming.

"The third lady just fell asleep, and I don't know what the old lady has to do to find the third miss?" Xing'er lifted the lantern, blew out the candle in it, and pulled Mei'er as she spoke, walking towards the house.

"Look at me, talking to Peach, I forgot about the topic." Mei'er stopped, slightly hid the smile on her face, and said, "This time, the old lady is not looking for the third lady, but for the two of you." Originally, I wanted to see who was keeping vigil and let another person go to reply, but now that you are all here, let's go together. ”

Apricot and Tao'er glanced at each other, both of them frowning slightly and looking dazed. Xing'er opened her mouth and asked, "Sister Mei'er, do you know that the old lady is so late, what is the matter with the two of us?" ”

"This ......" Mei'er said half a sentence, looking embarrassed. Suddenly, he laughed out loud again: "Look at the two of you." It is the first time that the third lady has been away from the mansion for so long, and the old lady loves the third miss so much, so she naturally wants to ask you about it. Don't worry, the other people who went with him were probably already staying in Xile Ju at this time. ”

Hearing Mei'er's words, Tao'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest exaggeratedly and said, "How can Sister Mei'er be so bad, it scares me." ”

But Xing'er next to her just looked at Mei'er lightly, looking thoughtful.

Joy Curie.

The old lady sat upright in the hall, and Mr. Lin sat on the left. The two mothers-in-law below are standing with their heads bowed, and these two are Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang who accompanied Mengyu to Zhizhen Villa.

"Tell me, what has the third lady done these days?" The old lady's voice stood out in this quiet hall.

Mrs. Zhang, who was on the left, stepped forward and said with low eyebrows: "Back to the old lady, after the third lady recovered from her injury, she just wandered around the villa and never left the villa. Shizi also stays in the villa every day, either in the study to deal with important matters, or chatting with the third lady. The son of Li Shangshu's Mansion will also go to the villa every few days to spend the night and leave early the next morning. If the three of them are in the villa, dinner is basically eaten at the same table. "Mrs. Zhang has not stayed by the old lady's side for a day or two. She and Mrs. Wang were selected by the old lady to accompany the third lady to Zhizhen Villa, so they naturally knew what the old lady was thinking. These days, they never appear in front of Miss Three, because Miss Three doesn't need them to tell her what to do and what not to do. Their task is to clearly know who the third lady has met and what she has done.

"The third lady suddenly said that she was coming back this time, did anything special happen before?" The old lady held the teacup and watched the tea leaves float and sink in the cup.

After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she retreated. At this time, Mrs. Wang stepped forward again and said: "Back to the old lady, Miss Ben and the prince chatted in the pavilion, and after the son of Li Shangshu Mansion arrived at the villa, he went directly into the pavilion. It was all around the place, and the slaves and maids had to stand far away, so they did not hear anything said during the three of them. It's just like they're arguing about what the topic is. Halfway through, the third lady went to the kitchen to check the dinner prepared yesterday, and only the two of them were talking in the pavilion. Although the slaves and maids didn't know what the masters said, at dinner, Shizi and Li Gongzi seemed to have a problem, and the two parted unhappily. ”

"And after that, Miss? Have you ever seen both of them again? "Everything that the two mothers-in-law said can be connected, but Master Lin always feels that there must be a missing link somewhere.

"Shizi and Li Gongzi walked by, and the third lady also said that she had no appetite. Looking at the face of the third young lady, it seems that she doesn't know very well why Shizi and Li Gongzi are arguing. After the third lady returned to the room, it was the two girls Tao'er and Xing'er who were waiting in the room, and they never went out of the room until they rested. Early the next morning, I suddenly had to go home. ”

The reply of the two mothers-in-law seemed to be thoughtful, but when Mengyu suddenly returned to the Lin Mansion in Kyoto, Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin couldn't catch any clues.
