Chapter 19 The Red Door Inn (19) Exchange of news

Mo Chen stayed outside the side door and sat for a long time, until Steward Xu held an umbrella and walked back from the other side of the corridor.

Steward Xu walked up to Mo Chen and asked, "Mr. Mo, are you waiting for me?" ”

Mo Chen smiled and pointed to the ground, Steward Xu followed what Mo Chen was looking for, only to see Mo Chen stained with rain and write a line of words on the lime floor, "Are you forced to target us?" Still is? ”

Steward Xu looked at the handwriting and raised his feet to say, "? Still is? Erased it, his toes were under the handwriting in front of Mo Chen, he tapped lightly, and then said, "Mr. Mo, if you want to talk to me, please come with me." ”

Steward Xu led Mo Chen through the hall on the first floor and into the room behind the bar, sticking to the walls around the room, neatly placed several bookshelves, on which many books were neatly placed. Mo Chen glanced sideways at the bookshelf beside him, and it turned out to be some account books, thinking that this was the Qian family's account room.

Steward Xu moved a chair for Mo Chen, sat down at the back of the table, poured a cup of tea casually, and pushed it in front of Mo Chen. Mo Chen thanked him, took the ceramic cup, and didn't drink it, but just approached the cup with his nose and sniffed it, and said good tea.

Xu Yaohua's face was grim, and he stretched out his right hand to Mo Chen, "Hello!" Mo Chen, I'm Xu Yaohua. Mo Chen also stretched out his right hand and shook him politely, "Hello! ”

Xu Yaohua spoke quickly, and immediately said, "Time relationship, if you have any questions, just ask." ”

Mo Chen nodded, and said to make a long story short, "I want to know your character settings, and the messages you receive." ”

"The housekeeper of the Qian Mansion, apart from the fact that the characters themselves need to take care of the big and small things in the mansion, the only thing I want to do is to do my best to force Mrs. Qian to tell the secrets of the Qian Mansion." Xu Yaohua said.

Mo Chen was stunned, and then asked, "Secret?" Do you know what it's about? ”

Xu Yaohua shook his head in confusion, "It's not clear yet, but I guess it could be related to money?" Xu Yaohua didn't get too much information about this topic than Mo Chen, but because he played the role of a housekeeper, he could still find some information related to his own identity in the Qian Mansion. For example, in this accounting room, which only he can often go in and out of, there are many precious tea leaves hidden in the secret cabinet, and some high-end scholarly things, according to Xu Yaohua's guess, the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion should have embezzled the Qian family's silver taels every day. Therefore, Xu Yaohua felt that the secrets of the Qian family that the housekeeper wanted to know should be related to money.

Mo Chen nodded, he agreed with Xu Yaohua's speculation, if it was common sense to say that the housekeeper was to get the rich assets of the Qian family, and he did not hesitate to do some shady things.

"When Mama Sun's body appeared, why did you lock us up and frame us?" Mo Chen asked suddenly, but he had already guessed that this must be the setting of the plot, otherwise Xu Yaohua, who is also a player, should not be so boring and make fun of them.

Xu Yaohua looked apologetic, "At the beginning, I got the task of embarrassing the passers-by who came to stay here, and even needed to drive them away. However, unfortunately, Madame Qian seems to want you to stay here, even if the rain stops, I guess she will find other excuses to keep you. ”

Mo Chen took a sip of tea, and the fragrant smell of tea lingered in this closed room, lingering for a long time. Mo Chen speculated that the housekeeper should have had a showdown with Mrs. Qian earlier, otherwise she would not have disagreed with the housekeeper everywhere, and Mo Chen asked if Mrs. Qian would have something to hold in the housekeeper's hands, otherwise, she would not let the housekeeper cover the sky in the mansion with one hand. This point was also confirmed by Xu Yaohua, the news he got was that he was a competent housekeeper in front of people and respectful to his wife, but behind the scenes, he could speak ill of Mrs. Qian until he forced her to tell the secret of the Qian family, but there was a bottom line, that is, he could not hurt Mrs. Qian.

"Do you have any news available?" Xu Yaohua asked Mo Chen rhetorically.

Mo Chen sighed deeply, "Our initial task is to make the master's family stay here no matter what, and the rest is only for us to play freely." Subsequently, Mo Chen told Xu Yaohua about him, Zhang Zili and Wang Lei sneaking into the master's room.

Xu Yaohua was also very confused, the identity of the second aunt and his personality, what he knew was no different from Mo Chen and others, but in this way, Mrs. Qian has been forced to endure the housekeeper, maybe the so-called handle is that Mrs. Qian killed the second aunt who was noisy and separated from the family, and disguised it as suicide.

Mo Chen nodded, this makes sense, there is one more thing Mo Chen has been thinking about wanting to be confirmed, the second aunt is too haunted, is it true?

Xu Yaohua's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, seeing his reaction, Mo Chen had an answer in his heart.

Xu Yaohua wiped his forehead, as if his forehead had been drenched in cold sweat, "It's really not clean in the house recently!" Xu Yaohua met once, the night Mo Chen and the others came, the young master Qian who had settled down and returned from the night, Xu Yaohua returned to his room, and just lay down on the bed, he heard someone knocking on the door. Xu Yaohua didn't get up at that time, he got up on the bed and shouted out the door, "Who?" But the man outside the door did not answer. Knowing that this was a terrifying theme, Xu Yaohua was on guard, and he didn't dare to go down to open the door when he was suspicious.

The knock sounded a few more times, and then there was no movement, just when Xu Yaohua turned over and was about to continue sleeping, he suddenly felt a chill at the base of his neck, as if someone was blowing behind his back. He didn't think much about it at the time, subconsciously turned around, and on the side of his pillow, a miserable white face was almost on his face, and his long broken hair covered half of his face, revealing only a blood-red mouth, and shouted at Xu Yaohua angrily, "Why don't you open the door for me!" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yaohua's face was a little ugly, thinking of what happened to him that day, it must be extremely terrifying. He was a little embarrassed and said, "Blame me for being too cowardly, and then I was scared, and when I woke up again, that face was gone, and it never appeared again." ”

Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth and expressed sympathy, since there was no information available, Mo Chen also wanted to make Xu Yaohua ugly on this matter, so he changed the topic and asked, "By the way, that Young Master Qian, how is it different from Young Master Qian who wrote to Mrs. Qian?" ”

Xu Yaohua pouted in confusion, "I don't know about this, or it's really the same as you think, maybe he's an impostor at all." He paused, and then said, "Well, I'll go back and find out with Mrs. Qian, and I'll tell you what I know." ”

"That's all there is to it." Mo Chen nodded.

Mo Chen got up and was about to leave, Xu Yaohua also stood up and sent him out, Mo Chen suddenly thought of something, stopped, stared at Xu Yaohua's eyes with a little grim eyes, and asked, "There is one more thing I want to ask you." ”

"Please!" Xu Yaohua said.

"Did you kill Xiaomei?" Mo Chen asked word by word.

Xu Yaohua stared at Mo Chen's eyes affirmatively and replied, "No." Then he added, "And I have never killed anyone with my own hands." ”

Mo Chen heard the meaning of Xu Yaohua's words, he didn't kill anyone with his own hands, not that Xu Yaohua had instructed anyone to kill, but he wasn't sure if the housekeeper had done something similar before.

Mo Chen smiled knowingly, nodded slightly, and left here.
