Chapter 17: The Red Door Inn (17) What happened to Xiaomei

"I was the only one who was ordered to dismantle the fence of the sedan chair that day, although strange things have happened in the house recently, but because it was daytime, I wasn't particularly afraid." Thinking of what happened that day, Xiaomei said in shock, "I just approached the sedan chair, ready to take off the sedan curtain first, when my hand just touched the sedan curtain, a pair of miserable white hands, suddenly stretched out to me, and dragged me into the sedan chair." Xiaomei raised her hands and made a grabbing look, her eyes staring at the boss unconsciously.

"What do you see in the palanquin?" Mo Chen asked.

"I see...... I saw a bloodless face with blood on its black lips...... A pair of whites of the eyes glared at me viciously, trying to eat me...... Woo woo...... "The memories seemed to pull Xiaomei back to the day of the accident, and the horror made her tremble.

"And then? Did she say anything to you? Or did it do something to you again? Mo Chen asked.

Xiaomei shook her head painfully, "I don't know, I fainted because I was too scared at that time, and when I woke up, I had been rescued by others." ”

Zheng Yi snorted coldly: "Do you see clearly?" At that time, it was really the second aunt who pulled you into the sedan chair? ”

Xiaomei nodded affirmatively, Zheng Yi suddenly leaned over and approached Xiaomei's face, staring at her with dead eyes, "Are you sure?" ”

"You scared her." Mo Chen pushed Zheng Yi away, and turned to Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, it's not that we don't believe you, the recent statement that the second aunt is too haunted has been in an uproar, we are just afraid that you were too scared at the time, and we preconceived that it was the ghost of the second aunt." So, please recall your memories carefully, is that really the second aunt's wife? ”

Mo Chen's words were reasonable, her tone was soft, Xiaomei slowly relaxed her emotions, lowered her head and pondered, a little, she shook her head weakly, "Sir, I understand what you said, but I still think that the second aunt is not wrong." ”

"Oh, yes!" Mo Chen said, patting Xiaomei's shoulder, "I'm sorry to force you to recall such a terrible thing, we'll go and bring Maomao back for you now." ”

Zheng Yi was pushed out of the firewood room by Mo Chen, he looked back at Xiaomei in two steps, and wanted to ask something more, but Mo Chen stopped him again and again. Xiaomei suddenly said behind her back, "She is wearing a drama robe and has oil paint on her face." ”

Mo Chen and Zheng Yi were stunned in unison, Mo Chen turned around, nodded gratefully to Xiaomei, and pulled Zheng Yi away.

"She's obviously not sure if the person who pulled her is the second aunt, why don't you let me ask again." On the way back, Zheng Yi complained about Mo Chen.

"She's said everything she could, and if there's anything to hide, it's for some reason we don't know. Even if you threaten her with Maomao, you may not be able to ask anything, so why bother to be strong! Mo Chen said.

Back in the front hall of the inn and finding Mao Mao, Zheng Yi said that he didn't want to send Mao Mao back in person, since Mo Chen was willing to be a good man, let him do it himself to the end. Mao Mao stayed with Meng Xinyao and them at this time, and it seemed that he got along very happily with this group of "big brothers and big sisters" who were too much older than him. Hearing that he was going to send him back to his sister, Maomao was still a little reluctant and clamored to play for a while.

Meng Xinyao took Mao Mao in her arms, and said softly in a maternal voice, "Mao Mao, you are obedient and go back to your sister first, and after a while, my brother and sister will finish their work, and then I will go to play with you, okay?" ”

Mao Mao shook his head reluctantly, and Chen Cen handed a paper folded paper crane to Mao Mao, "This is for you, Mao Mao is obedient, okay?" ”

The hairy little hand took the paper crane, pouted and nodded reluctantly, and said in a childish voice, "Then you have to talk about it." ”

"Come, let's go with my uncle!" Mo Chen stretched out his hand, and suddenly felt a hot gaze hit his body, he raised his head and swept around, and saw everyone staring at him with black lines. Mo Chen coughed dryly, the smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly be suppressed, this was really taking advantage of people by accident, he pulled Maomao and walked out the door.

"Sir, let's let Wang Lei send Maomao back!" Chen Cen suddenly stopped Mo Chen, Mo Chen turned his head suspiciously, didn't he, he thought it was a matter of title, Chen Cen and they were going to criticize themselves?

Wang Lei took Maomao: "Maomao, let's go." ”

Mo Chen watched Wang Lei lead Mao Mao downstairs, Chen Cen walked to the door, slammed the door shut, and Mo Chen took a long breath and waited for the "trial".

"Sir, we have something to tell you." Meng Xinyao said.

Mo Chen was slightly stunned, it turned out that they were not so boring, and wanted to entangle with Mo Chen on the issue of "brother and uncle".

Zheng Yi "stole Maomao" and threw it to Mo Chen, and then was left to Meng Xinyao and them to act as a childcare caretaker, so they naturally would not give up such a good opportunity to inquire about the news with Maomao. Although Mao Mao is only six years old, even if he has heard about adult things, he may not be able to "learn" to understand, but Meng Xinyao still learned from Mao Mao that Xiaomei became extremely timid after experiencing the "sedan chair".

And Mao Mao said that Xiaomei was very afraid of Mrs. Qian since then, as if because of the "sedan chair", Mrs. Qian reprimanded her fiercely, blaming her for her bewitching the public, which made everyone in the house worried and caused a bad impact.

"We have a very important discovery." Meng Xinyao said excitedly, "Mao Mao said that after the Qian family had an accident, he had never seen Mrs. Qian with his own eyes, and all the things were conveyed by Steward Xu instead." ”

Mo Chen frowned: "Maomao understands so much at such a young age?" ”

"Of course he doesn't understand, he doesn't even know what it means to be dead." Chen Cen said, but Mao Mao clearly told them that after the Qian family's grandfather and the second grandmother slept in the hall, he never saw the eldest grandmother again. After the sedan chair, Steward Xu conveyed to everyone the meaning of Mrs. Qian, and gave them two silver taels to dismiss them.

Mo Chen was extremely surprised: "Mrs. Qian never showed up?" It's really weird. ”

"That's not all," Chen Cen said, "Mao Mao said that Mrs. Qian liked him very much in the past and would play with him every day for a while, but since the Qian family had an accident, he has never seen Mrs. Qian once." ”

"So we guess whether Mrs. Qian was imprisoned by Steward Xu, or Mrs. Qian was threatened by Steward Xu, and everything had to be controlled by Steward Xu." Zhang Zili said.

Mo Chen pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Let's all recall carefully, the lady Qian who reprimanded Steward Xu for imprisoning us at that time, her attitude at that time was very unnatural?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all frowned and fell into deep thought.
