Chapter 21: There are thieves
"Miss, you're not in good health, let's rest first, and wait for Sister Mingzhu to come back with a message before making plans." Mingyue looked at Lu Mingzhu, who was pale, and felt distressed.
Lu Xueyi had a splitting headache, her brain was buzzing, and she couldn't live in peace, so she obediently lay down.
Mingyue opened the gilded incense ding, added some soothing incense powder into it, and the fragrance came out one by one, and saw Lu Xueyi lying down quietly, so she tiptoed out.
Although Lu Xueyi was curious and had vaguely guessed what was happening, she also knew that what she needed most now was rest, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze.
By the time she woke up, the sun was already setting in the west.
"Miss, you're awake." Mingyue greeted her happily and handed over a glass of warm water by the way.
Lu Xueyi's throat was uncomfortable, and she took the water and fell back.
"Is Mingzhu back?" The voice was hoarse and rough, very ugly, Lu Xueyi frowned.
"Miss, don't worry, Dr. Xiao said that he will be recuperated and will recover in two days." Mingyue saw that Lu Xueyi's expression was not very good-looking, and hurriedly relieved.
In her heart, Lu Xueyi was a very difficult person to get along with in the past, so in order to avoid her own offense, she opened her mouth first.
Hearing this, Lu Xueyi's expression improved a lot, "What about Mingzhu?" ”
"Sister Mingzhu went to the kitchen to get a meal, Miss slept all day in a daze, and even lunch was useless, Sister Mingzhu was worried that Miss would be hungry when she woke up, so she went to the kitchen to get dinner, and when she came back, she planned to wake up Miss, but I didn't expect Miss to wake up."
Mingyue, who originally thought that she would be wronged, saw that Lu Xueyi did not take her dumb voice to heart, and said a few words happily.
Lu Xueyi nodded, "Help me up." ”
Realizing that her strength had recovered a lot because of this sleep, Lu Xueyi didn't want to lie on the bed anymore.
"Yes." Mingyue obediently hugged Lu Xueyi, let her sit up with her strength, and carefully put on her shoes to take care of Lu Xueyi's clothes.
It's a caring maid!
Lu Xueyi quietly watched Mingyue's every move, and thought to herself.
The door was pushed open, and the Mingzhu people didn't see the sound but came first.
"Miss, are you awake?"
Mingzhu put the box on the table, hurriedly walked over, and saw that Lu Xueyi's complexion had improved a lot, and the big stone hanging in her heart suddenly fell.
"Is Miss feeling better?"
"It's much better, this sleep is a long time." Lu Xueyi said softly.
Mingzhu smiled, "Miss is afraid that she is hungry, right?" The slave maid asked the kitchen to prepare some light food, and the young lady came over to eat some to nourish her spirits. ”
Lu Xueyi sat down, and there was a bowl of thick and fragrant rice porridge on the table, plus a few light seasonal vegetables and a few side dishes, and suddenly felt a great appetite, picked up chopsticks and ate it.
"By the way, what's going on with the investigation?" Even if it is eating, it will not affect Lu Xueyi to ask about things.
Mingzhu's face immediately became ugly, and there was a bit of resentment in her expression.
"Miss, it's all the blame for the slave's carelessness, I usually care about getting people to pay attention to Aunt Xia's movements, but I forgot the second miss."
"Lu Xueling?" Lu Xueyi fed for a while, but she didn't take it to heart and continued to eat, "What's wrong with her?" ”
"Miss, do you remember the bracelet that Madame gave you a few days ago? The second lady ran to you crying and said that you accidentally broke your own one, so you transferred your fine jade bracelet to her. ”
Lu Xueyi nodded, "Of course I remember, I see that she likes it very much, and I don't want to cause more trouble, so I gave it to her." ”
Mingzhu chopped her feet, "Miss, you are kind, but do you know who the second miss gave the bracelet to later?" ”
Lu Xueyi looked funny, and asked along Mingzhu's words, "Who did you give it to?" ”
"She gave her big girl Caixia, the jade bracelet is only one, give Caixia naturally can't give another big girl, originally this matter of the second lady did the secret, but the people are scared, see a good thing naturally can't wait to bring it to the hand, so it was still seen by the color screen, the slave maid just asked, not only that, the slave maid also heard Aunt Xia in front of the lady said that you look down on the things she sent, turned around and gave the bracelet away, today must be Mrs. did not see the jade bracelet, this is angry."
Lu Xueyi stopped and looked at Mingzhu funny, "Why are you so angry?" Is it possible to have a fight with Aunt Xia? ”
"Miss, the slave maid is anxious for you, when the second lady asked you for the jade bracelet, the slave maid felt that something was wrong, at first I thought that the second lady was in love with the jade bracelet, after all, the jade bracelet that Mrs. gave to the young lady and the jade bracelet to the second miss The texture is too different, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect ......."
"I didn't expect her to do this to me?"
Lu Xueyi's eyes were a little cold, people don't offend me, I don't offend people!
"Okay, it's already happened, don't complain, you come here, I have something to tell you two."
Lu Mansion was quiet in the dead of night, and the eldest lady of the Lu family was sick today, so she rested early.
Mingyue, the personal maid next to the eldest lady of the Lu family, got up at night and walked to the room in a daze, she was the personal maid of the eldest lady, and the room was naturally next to Lu Xueyi's room.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew out of Lu Xueyi's room, Mingyue was frightened, and screamed loudly at that time, fortunately, except for the eldest girl's courtyard, the lights were off, and the people in the other courtyards had not yet fallen asleep, and they ran over after listening to the sound.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with this? "Many people came one after another, and everyone was either holding torches or lanterns in their hands, and the scene was bustling.
The eldest girl of the Lu family was also awakened by this sound, and pushed open the door with the support of the personal maid Mingzhu.
Mingzhu knew that her young lady was sick and weak, and she was exposed heavy this night, so she still added a dress to her young lady.
"What's wrong? What happened? Lu Mingzhu frowned and asked softly about Mingyue, who was scared enough in the field.
"Miss, Miss has a thief." Mingyue was also frightened, and her whole face could still be seen to be pale under the light of the fire.
Lu Mingzhu's eyes widened, "Thief? How could this be? Can you see clearly? ”
And Mingzhu heard that there was a thief, and immediately took the lamp back to Lu Xueyi's room to investigate.
The other people present were inexplicably attracted by a scream, and when they heard that there was a thief, they each looked at each other a few times, and felt that the other party was suspicious.
Mingyue nodded to herself, "The slave and maid really look at it, that person is thin and about the same height as the slave maid, and the slave and maid look at it as a woman." ”
Most of the people present breathed a sigh of relief when Mingyue said this, after all, they were all men.
At the same time that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Mingzhu walked out of Lu Xueyi's room and called out with an ugly face, "Miss." ”
Lu Xue was surprised, "What's wrong?" Is something missing? ”
Mingzhu raised her voice and said, "It's all to blame for the incompetence of the slave maid, the jasper bracelet that Madame just rewarded the young lady is missing." ”
Lu Xueyi's eyes widened, her eyes were full of disbelief, and her expression was mixed with panic, "This, how can this be?" It was a gift from my mother. ”
"Miss, there is a thief in the house, do you need to send someone to inform the master?" A little guy stepped forward and asked.
Lu Xueyi was flustered, but quickly stood on her heels and muttered for a moment, "No!" Don't bother everyone yet, it's too late at this hour, my grandmother has already rested and it's not easy to disturb, as for my father's newlywed Yan'er, don't bother him, fortunately, we know that it's the maid in the house, so it's much easier, you go back first, I'll go to find out tomorrow. ”
Everyone looked at each other twice, and then quietly retreated.
Everyone receded like a tide, and Lu Xueyi was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed.
Not only did she breathe a sigh of relief, but even Mingyue and Mingzhu also breathed a sigh of relief.
With this relief, Lu Xueyi couldn't help but want to laugh, so the suppressed laughter like a silver bell rang out in the courtyard.
Mingzhu and Mingyue saw Lu Xueyi smiling, and they also smirked.
However, Mingzhu was still worried, "Miss, do you think we can do this trick?" ”
Lu Xueyi yawned, turned around and walked towards the house, "Don't worry, this time I will definitely let Aunt Xia and the second sister lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot." ”
Mingzhu Mingyue looked at each other and smiled.
"Don't stick here, go back to your room and sleep, there's a good show to watch tomorrow."
"Yes, the slave knows."
Lu Xueyi closed the door and blocked the eyes of the outside world from looking at the door.
There is a big tree with long branches and lush leaves in Lu Xueyi's courtyard, the trees are lush and lush, and they are extremely lush, and at this moment there is a person hanging on this big tree, but the leaves cover his whole body, and because it is dark night, no one noticed that the courtyard of the dignified lady actually broke into the outsider.
Xie Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the front with some confusion, and suddenly, the light that was still on in the room in front of him went out, indicating that the master of the room had gone to bed and was ready to sleep.
Relieved because no one looked around at this time, he thought that he had been discovered, how did he know that the personal maid of the eldest lady of the Lu family opened his mouth and said that he saw a person who looked like a maid coming, but he didn't see any maid people passing here.
However, what the eldest lady of the Lu family said just now inadvertently covered for him, and he was able to deal with the question of why he appeared in the courtyard of the eldest lady of the Lu family.
But his expression became complicated because he just seemed to know something he shouldn't know.
Judging from the scene after the little maid left, there were no thieves in this yard at all, so why did they say that there were thieves?
After a while, Xie Qi figured it out, a thief shouted to catch a thief, how can there be any thief here? It's obviously a ghost trick made by those three people, and it seems that this play was staged by Miss Lu herself.
He shook his head amusedly, looked at the porcelain vase in his hand, his figure flashed, put the porcelain vase on the stone table in the courtyard, and then left quietly.
In the bamboo garden, Mr. Qu Yuan was holding a stack of dim sum and eating it by himself, watching Xie Qi come in from outside, he forgot to chew in shock, and couldn't help but swallow his throat.
