Chapter 82: Crazy for Love
The oil lamps brought by the guards, there was some light in the yard, Xiao Ling stopped the guards and naturally did not continue to chase, suddenly a guard was attracted by something on the ground, and immediately picked it up and handed it to Xiao Ling when he saw that it was a handkerchief.
"Girl, your handkerchief has dropped." The guard respectfully handed the handkerchief to Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling and Ah Jing were both attracted by the handkerchief, the color on the handkerchief was a little strange, and the color was also very gorgeous, after following Xiao Ling for so long, Ah Jing also knew that Xiao Ling's handkerchiefs were all embroidered by Meng Yan, and there was only a white handkerchief with only one flower branch, how could there be only gorgeous!
"It's not ......," Ah Jing said as soon as he saw something that wasn't Xiao Ling.
"Thank you!" Xiao Ling blocked Ah Jing's words, took the handkerchief from the guard's hand, and quickly hid it in his sleeve: "Since the person has slipped away, you can also go back!" You should be more careful when you patrol in the future, and it will not be good if these thieves come in and scare the old lady. ”
Everyone knew that Xiao Ling was already the young lady of the Mengfu, so she naturally had to be respectful and leave.
"Miss, that handkerchief is obviously not yours! Give it to them to find the daring thief! Ah Jing didn't understand why Xiao Ling wanted to hide the handkerchief.
"Shhhhh......h Someone else is going to be unlucky! ”
Although Xiao Ling didn't know what Xiao Ling meant, and he didn't understand why Xiao Ling wanted to help a thief who trespassed into the Mengfu, he was probably confused by Xiao Ling's playfulness! He nodded obediently and replied: "Hmm! ”
"Let's go back!" Xiao Ling said and turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Tianling Courtyard, reached into his sleeve with his other hand and touched the handkerchief, turned around and glanced at the direction where the man disappeared, he didn't notice it when he came just now, and now he found out that it was Meng Yi's courtyard......
"Girl, I still think that person is a little strange just now, she is wearing the clothes worn by the palace people! Isn't it strange that a palace man came to our Mongol Mansion? Back in Tianling Courtyard, Ah Jing made the bed for Xiao Ling while expressing his doubts.
Xiao Ling, who was washing his face on the side, was stunned for a moment, and asked again with some suspicion: "Palace people's clothes?" Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”
"I'm not sure, I just think it's a little bit like it!" Ah Jing was also a little hesitant, after all, it was too dark just now and he didn't see anything clearly, and then the man who came with the oil lamp from the guards ran away again, and he just felt that he was wearing the clothes of the palace people!
"If it's uncertain, don't say anything about it anymore, if it gets out, it's quite unfavorable to the Mongol Mansion, and we should do nothing about tonight!" ET
Ah Jing is also a smart person, and it is indeed very unfavorable to the Mongolian Mansion to say it without evidence, so it is natural to keep it secret, although he is curious about the handkerchief, but since Xiao Ling doesn't say it, he won't go back and ask.
Ah Jing waited to fall asleep and left, Xiao Ling saw Ah Jing's figure leave, so he took out the handkerchief from under the pillow, and he could smell the rich fragrance of osmanthus on it without putting it on the tip of his nose, just like the same smell as the woman who had this fragrance.
The black shadow Xiao Ling felt familiar at first, but he couldn't think of a clue for a while, until he saw the handkerchief with Miao characteristics left on the ground, and found the direction he fled to determine that person must be Meng Yi! It's just that......
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling wondered, why did Meng Yi be sneaky in his own house, seeing himself and Ah Jing was like seeing a cat and a mouse, and Ah Jing also said that he was wearing clothes that he was wearing as a palace person in the palace of King Qin!
Clothes of the palace people! I was stunned for a while, and I seemed to have some impressions, wasn't this what the palace people who took me to see Yushu last time were dressed like this? So is it that Meng Yi is dressed like this...... An answer was successfully formed in Xiao Ling's mind, but Xiao Ling was also frightened by his own guess.
Ay! Thinking about these at night is too much for brain cells, and it's not conducive to beauty, and it's annoying to death, and it's not important to sleep if you don't want to do anything, if there's really something, I'll talk about it tomorrow. Xiao Ling hypnotized himself, and soon his head was empty and he slowly fell asleep.
Sure enough, Xiao Ling didn't spend too many brain cells on thinking about this matter last night, which was the right choice, and the next day Xiao Ling just got up and Ah Jing came to report that Meng Yi had come to see her, Xiao Ling immediately hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard it, and some questions were about to ask him for advice!
When Xiao Ling came to the hall on the first floor, Meng Yi seemed to be drinking tea leisurely, but Xiao Ling noticed that when he saw him, the hand holding the tea trembled slightly, and the teacup was biased, and there was a drop of water on his hand.
Xiao Ling pretended not to see Meng Yi's embarrassment, and still walked down with a smile, and said as he walked, "What kind of wind is blowing today?" It actually blew our Mengren people to this small Tianling Courtyard! ”
"Sister-in-law said with a smile, Yi heard early this morning that you met a thief last night, and I was worried that something would happen to you, so I came here to take a look." Meng Yi said and looked at the expression on Xiao Ling's face out of the corner of his eyes, "Sister-in-law is fine, right?" If I find any clues, I'll send someone to catch him. ”
Xiao Ling shook his head, looking at Meng Yi's gaze made Meng Yi embarrassed, but Xiao Ling was even happier: "It's okay, it's okay, that little thief is also a person who has no ability, he was driven away by Ah Jing, and no one has done anything big, and he hasn't hurt anyone, so don't worry about him!" ”
"Hmm!" Meng Yi nodded approvingly, but secretly glanced at Xiao Ling as if tentatively and said, "Is it true that sister-in-law didn't find any clues about that thief?" Didn't he leave anything behind? ”
"What's left?" Xiao Ling seemed to be thinking hard about the question raised by Meng Yi, and finally answered his question under Meng Yi's great expectations: "There seems to be one, it looks quite familiar, and it seems to be embroidered with some Miao Jiang patterns on it!" ”
Meng Yi was a little relaxed when he heard this, after he went back last night and found that the handkerchief was missing, he had been worried all night, praying that something was picked up by Xiao Ling, if she picked it up, with her intelligence and feelings for Yushu, she would definitely keep this secret, but it was difficult to say what would happen when someone else found it.
At this time, there were only Xiao Ling and Meng Yi in the room, Xiao Ling looked at Meng Yi's expression, took out the colorful handkerchief from his cuff and showed it in front of Meng Yi, and said with a puzzled expression: "Meng Yi, you said that this is obviously something that belongs to Miao Jiang, why did it appear outside in Mengfu?" Do they have some conspiracy? ”
Meng Yi was already embarrassed and didn't know how to answer Xiao Ling's question, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut and not speak, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "This handkerchief alone can't explain anything, if you want to know, you may need some verification." ”
"Hmm......" Xiao Ling nodded, "Meng Yi, you are also very busy all day, I will hand this over to the housekeeper in a while and ask him to go to the government to find someone to investigate seriously, to see if these Miao people are ambitious or leopard guts, they dare to fight the doctrine of the Meng Mansion, and they will never forgive if they are caught." ”
At this time, if Meng Yi still didn't understand that Xiao Ling already knew that the person last night was him, then Meng Yi's IQ would need to be improved. With Xiao Ling's temperament, he would never do anything to be sorry for his friends, so isn't he just waiting for himself to explain honestly!
"Sister-in-law, don't hand over the handkerchief! Last night's people ......" Meng Yi weighed it and decided to explain: "Last night's person was Meng Yi, and the handkerchief was given to me by Yushu, if you hand over the handkerchief, it will be very bad for Yushu." ”
Xiao Ling nodded, he was still very satisfied with Meng Yi's performance, he was a bit of a man's responsibility, the first thing he thought of when he encountered this was not his own safety, but he was worried that Yushu would be implicated, but it was one thing to appreciate Meng Yi, but he did not agree with their approach.
"How did Yushu's handkerchief come into your hand?" Xiao Ling looked at Meng Yi with wide eyes and asked curiously.
"This ......" Under Xiao Ling's gaze that seemed to be able to see everything, Meng Yi suddenly didn't know how to say the excuse he had made up a long time ago!
"Don't you want to say that this is what Yushu gave you before! But the fragrance is still very strong, if she had given it to you before, it would have been long gone. Seeing Meng Yi like this, the answer in Xiao Ling's heart seemed to be confirmed.
In the face of Xiao Ling's intelligence, Meng Yi was even more speechless, although Xiao Ling had some guesses in his heart, he still wanted to hear Meng Yi say it with his own ears: "Besides, Ah Jing said that you wore the clothes of the palace people last night, can you tell me that you are dressed like that to go shopping!" ”
Xiao Ling's aggressiveness made Meng Yi embarrassed, and he surrendered as if he said, "Sister-in-law, don't you already have an answer in your heart?" Why do you have to force Meng Yi to speak? ”
It's one thing to guess, it's another thing to hear Meng Yi say it with his own ears, Xiao Ling couldn't help frowning, not only sighed that the two of them were completely carried away by love, but now they don't care about it? To engage in such a small action in that heavily guarded palace.
"Don't you think about the consequences of doing things, don't you know how dangerous it is? Don't you think about yourself and don't think about Yushu? Xiao Ling was a little angry and threw a few questions to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi was already ashamed of Xiao Ling's questioning, although many things were taken into account, but he couldn't control his heart! It seems that for the sake of that woman, even if she goes to the soup, she will do it, maybe she will do crazy things!
Xiao Ling didn't really blame them, he was just worried about them, hoping that he would give them a piece of advice, in case it was too late to regret the incident in the future.
