Chapter 144: The Lady in Clothes, the Mystery of the Study
Huang Xinglai came to be a housekeeper for Xiaoyue, and it was recommended by his distant uncle. Uncle gave him some warnings, and he always remembered in his heart that his future master was a strange man, and his identity was very special, and if he saw something unreasonable, he should not be surprised, and just deal with it calmly.
Huang Xing has been a housekeeper in Yingyue Xuan for less than two months, and he didn't find anything abnormal, but he was very respectful of his master, because Gongzi Wen was very kind to his subordinates, had no temper and no arrogance, and got along very well. Even if he has an ambiguous relationship with his maid Yun Yan, it is reasonable, and he thinks in his heart that it is possible that Yun Yan will be the hostess in the future.
However, he saw another woman in Gongzi's room today, this woman was much better looking than Yun Yan, and her spirit was bright and eye-catching, but how did she come in, and how did she recognize herself, when he was wondering, he suddenly found that this woman's voice was somewhat familiar with Gongzi.
Steward Huang looked at the smiling woman in front of him, slowly approached her, and asked embarrassedly, "You... Who are you?"
Xiao Yue pulled Steward Huang into the room, then closed the door and looked at him with her head tilted, "Guess!"
Steward Huang hurriedly stood at the door, far away from her, and then pointed at her with a trembling index finger and said, "There is a difference between men and women, who are you and how are you in my son-in-law's room." While speaking, he looked at Yun Yan who was standing aside and bowing his head and laughing secretly, he found that Yun Yan was wearing a men's clothes, which looked like Childe's clothes, he looked back at Childe, as if he understood something, but he was not sure, he shrunk his neck, grabbed his right hand with his left hand, and was uneasy.
"You... You're not a childe, are you?" he finally asked the question in his heart.
A crisp laugh reached the ears of Butler Huang.
Xiao Yue stood up straight and said in a deep voice, "Steward Huang, don't you have something to report?"
Steward Huang opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't speak for a long time, and was stunned for a while, before he stammered: "You... You.. It's true.. Be.. Childe. His shoulders trembled slightly, his hands were firmly clenched, he didn't believe what was happening in front of him at all, he recognized this voice, it was really Childe's voice. He looked at Xiao Yue again, and found that her eyes were the same as those of Childe, just wearing women's clothes, and wanted to change someone, or really like a woman.
Xiao Yue smiled and nodded, she was very satisfied with Steward Huang's reaction, people who are together every day can't find the difference between their women's clothes and men's clothes, so the flower girl of Fengyi Inn should also be difficult to find, "It's me, what's wrong?"
After hearing Xiaoyue's admission, Steward Huang let out a sigh of relief, "I said Childe, what kind of women's clothes are you wearing? Make it like this!" he said this, but in fact, he felt that Satsuki's women's clothes were really unusually good-looking, and he had a preconceived idea that Satsuki was a man, so he was a little uncomfortable when he saw such a good-looking women's costume.
"Oh, I'm going out to run some errands in the evening. Xiao Yue tidied up the corners of her clothes, got used to the hairpin on her head, and then sat down, "Tell me about the backyard you and Xu Accounts this morning." β
Steward Huang was still haunted by her female appearance, and said worriedly: "Childe pretends to be a woman and goes out at night, how can this work?"
"This matter will be arranged by the Xu Accounting Office, so don't worry about it. Xiao Yue saw that the time was not early, Xu Chengchang should also come back in a while, she had to hurry up, "Let's talk about it, how did you survey in the morning?"
Steward Huang calmed down, and then said: "I checked all the courtyard walls with Xu Accounting Room in the morning, outside our courtyard wall should be the courtyard of King Mu's Mansion, there are a few old trees standing in several places, and the branches are staggered with each other, but the trees over the wall of the courtyard wall facing the street have been cut down, if there are thieves climbing trees over the wall, it is estimated that they can only come from King Mu's Mansion." β
"Yes, I see. Xiao Yue speculated in her heart, whether this person was related to Mu Wangfu, or if he originally went to Mu Wangfu to steal, and her own house was just passing by, she was not sure.
"Oh, and one more strange thing. Steward Huang suddenly remembered, "There is something wrong with the abandoned study in the back garden. β
"Study?" Satsuki also remembered that the dark shadow had disappeared near the study yesterday, "What's the problem?"
"The boy in the study doesn't like it, so no one cleans it on weekdays, and no one moves the items in the room, so it stands to reason that it should be very dusty inside, but when Mr. Xu and I went in to check, we found that someone looked like someone had entered. The shopkeeper Huang also swore and said: "I dare to guarantee that it is not our Yingyue Xuan's people." β
"Why can't it be from our own room?" asked Satsuki curiously.
"This house, I only went in for the second time today, the first time was when I entered the house, Mr. Xu led me to each room to check and enter once, so I am not familiar with this room at all, but we found that someone left footprints in this room, I have compared it with Mr. Xu, it is a man's footprints, so it is impossible for Miss Yun Yan and Miss Linglong to go in, Lao Chen's feet are a little sloping because he fell from the carriage in the early years, and he can't see it on weekdays, but the footprints can be seen that they are not his, so it should be someone outsideγ β
Steward Huang talked endlessly for a long time, Xiao Yue admired him a little, and he didn't say anything on weekdays, but he had some Sherlock Holmes ability.
"Well, I guess it was the uninvited guest I saw yesterday. Xiao Yue sighed and said: "This person has come and gone without a trace, even if all the trees by the courtyard wall are cut down, it is estimated that it will not help, forget it, I will take the time to go to the study to have a look, you don't go in again, so as not to destroy the scene." β
"Destroying the scene?" Steward Huang listened to this term a little fresh, "Childe said that he was afraid of making the footprints inside, I know, no one in the house would go to the back garden for no reason on weekdays, I will ask again." β
As soon as Steward Huang's voice fell, he heard someone knocking on the door, Yun Yan stepped forward to open the door, and saw Xu Chengchang, whose nose was cold and red, walking in with his hands rubbing.
"Childe, I'm back. Xu Chengchang opened his eyes and looked around, but did not find Gongzi, but saw a beautiful young woman sitting in front of Butler Huang, he had just heard the voice of Gongzi in the room, and now he couldn't find anyone, but he was a little embarrassed.
I only heard the young woman say in a deep voice: "Chengchang, have you had dinner? If you have eaten, I will go directly to the inn with you later." β
Xu Chengchang looked at the woman's voice exactly the same as that of the childe, and looked around in surprise, to make sure that this person was indeed speaking in the voice of the child, he was surprised, regardless of the difference between men and women, the woman, from head to toe, he found that the woman's eyes were unusually familiar, but the face shape was modified due to the hairstyle, showing a smaller delicate and petite.
And her figure, Xu Chengchang quickly glanced at her chest, this is really a woman, he had to remember that he had heard that Xiao Yue was a woman before, but this was the first time he saw Xiao Yue's female appearance, and he was stunned.
