Chapter 11: A Thief's Heart Doesn't Die
Xiaoxi's concern made Shui Qingqing calm down from the panic. She suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and pretended to be calm: "I didn't think of anything...... That's why I'm anxious to retrieve the box, because it may be the only clue to my identity and memories......"
Xiaoxi nodded and sighed: "Yes, that's the only thing on Miss's body, and it really can't be easily lost." ”
The master and servant carefully searched all the places in the chamber, but they never saw the shadow of the box.
Shui Qingqing thought, nine times out of ten, the box fell in the mourning hall.
She asked Xiaoxi to stay in the house and look for it again, and put on her coat and went to the mourning hall.
When she came to the door of the mourning hall, looking at Mei Zijin who was kneeling with her back to her in the mourning hall, Shui Qingqing clenched her fists unconsciously, and there was a trace of cowardice in her heart.
But when she thought that the rouge box was the only clue to find her relatives, and it was an old thing that her companion had never left by her side since she was a child, she mustered up the courage to step into the mourning hall.
Just as she was about to step into the mourning hall, footsteps suddenly sounded behind her, and a 'Sister of the Sheng Family' made her steps stagnant again.
turned around, and stood behind Bai Lingwei, who was carrying a food box.
It was late at night, and the rest of the Hou Mansion had already rested.
Bai Lingwei looked at Shui Qingqing who appeared at the door of the mourning hall alone, and then looked at her with a panicked and embarrassed expression, she already thought of something in her heart, her eyes sank, and she said in an unkind tone: "You don't sleep for most of the night, what are you doing sneakily at the door of the mourning hall?" ”
Without waiting for Shui Qingqing to speak, Mei Zijin, who was shocked, also got up and came to the door, and swept her eyes at Shui Qingqing, who was standing in the snow, her face dark and cold.
Shui Qingqing stood in the snow with her back straight, and said indifferently: "I lost a small box, I want to see if it fell in the mourning hall." ”
Hearing this, Mei Zijin's expression was imperceptible and slightly stunned. In the next breath, the hand behind him was about to take out the rouge box in his arms and return it to her, Bai Lingwei's eyes swept quickly in the mourning hall, and said coolly: "There is no box in the mourning hall. The wind and snow are cold, Miss Sheng should go back to the room early to rest, so as not to catch the cold! ”
Bai Lingwei was very guarded, especially knowing that Sheng Yu had affection for Mei Zijin, and she was always wary of her, so when she saw her alone in the mourning hall at this time, she decided that Shui Qingqing's search for the box was fake, and it was true that she deliberately came here to seduce Mei Zijin when no one was around.
It's really shameless and a thief's heart is immortal!
was resentful in her heart, but Bai Lingwei was not shocked on her face, maintaining the dignity of a famous lady, and ordered Xia Chan behind her to send Shui Qingqing back.
Every time she saw Bai Lingwei, Shui Qingqing gritted her teeth with hatred.
However, she is a high-ranking lady of the Hanlin family, and she is the favored side lady of the Hou Mansion, and she has no evidence or certificate, so what can she do to expose her crimes? !
Resentful and tangled Shui Qingqing followed Xia Chan to the wing room in a daze, and saw that she was about to reach the door of the wing room, Xia Cicada in front suddenly turned around, and slapped Shui Qingqing in the face with a backhand without warning, and the force was so great that she was stunned and fell into the snow under the steps.
"Shameless scumbag, I know that you are a thief, and you entered the mansion just to hook up with our Hou Ye-
Are you actually taking our young lady's words as a deaf ear, you are restless less less than a day after entering the house, you are really looking for death! ”
Xia Cicada's shrill voice was particularly clear and piercing in the quiet night, not only waking up Xiaoxi in the room, but also the mourning hall only a few steps away from the side room was also alarmed.
Therefore, Shui Qingqing was scolded and scolded, and all this was seen by Mei Zijin and Bai Lingwei, who rushed over.
The two stood behind the porch in the corner and watched silently, Mei Zijin's expression was cold and waveless, and he didn't say anything to stop him.
If he didn't say anything, Bai Lingwei wouldn't stop him silently.
