Chapter 149: Disappearing
The people got up again and came out to meet them.
Mrs. Li's face was not very good, so she entered the inner room, and then stepped forward and took Mrs. Li into her arms, gently stroked her back, and said repeatedly:
"Ah Luan is not afraid, Ah Luan is not afraid...... Grandmother is here, grandmother is here......"
Li Shu stepped forward to greet Showa and saluted each other, and said helplessly when she saw this:
"Mother, how old is Ah Luan, and he is not a child......
When Mrs. Li heard this, she let go of Li Taiwei, and looked her up and down carefully, before she glanced at Li Shu, and said with a heartfelt voice:
"Where do you know this, no matter how old she is, she is still a child, if she encounters something unclean, how can she get her soul?"
Li Shu glanced at Li Taiwei with a wry smile, although her face was a little unnatural, she was a little apprehensive:
"I heard that Sister Wei saw a figure passing by the window last night, but is there such a thing?"
"I went to bed early last night, but I didn't hear anything outside...... What can be found out now? ”
Li Taiwei didn't know what her father was doing at the moment, so she nodded with Li Shu and looked at Showa.
"Mother, last night my father called someone to interrogate the people in my yard, is this going to be an eyebrow?"
Showa's face tightened slightly, as if there was something unspeakable.
Old Madam Li also looked at Showa with a nervous expression, and urged:
"What? Could it be that the people in the house are really doing it? ”
"Last night's big event, how could Saburo let everyone hide it from me? If it weren't for Grandma Sun listening to someone say it, I wouldn't have known that such a thing happened in the house......"
Li Shu was under the table, gently pulled the corner of Mrs. Li's clothes, and gave her a look, telling her not to worry, and to listen to what Showa said first.
Showa was silent for a moment, then twisted his eyebrows and said:
"Last night, Xianggong stayed in the study, and when I got up in the morning, I heard him say a few vague words, only saying that the people of Fangfeiyuan didn't find anything wrong, but ...... There is one less maid named Ying'er......"
Mrs. Li's expression tightened, and she hurriedly asked:
"Less? How do you say that? ”
Showa worried:
"I heard that she was not on duty yesterday, so she took leave with the doorkeeper at the next morning, and explained that she was going home to visit her father, saying that she would return home this morning. But after seeing the Chen, she still didn't come back, and the gatekeeper was there for Daotian's mother......"
Tian's mother went to the concierge to ask in person, she was indeed the house she left yesterday, and she was never seen anywhere in the back door...... Mother Tian didn't worry about it, so she took this matter to your father. ”
"Your father sent someone to look for her house, but his father and brother said that she didn't come home yesterday and hasn't found anyone yet......"
Mrs. Li's eyes were slightly flustered.
Ying'er is the fire girl in her yard, she vaguely remembers being a year older than her, she is honest, and rarely speaks.
Mama Jin also mentioned a few days ago that this Ying'er's mother died early, and the family only had a frail and sick Lao Tzu and a brother who was idle all day long, and she was also a pitiful, thinking that after the New Year, she also reached the age of marriage, so she begged Showa to match her to the steward of Zhuangzi.
Showa also nodded about this, but how could Ying'er suddenly disappear?
A few days ago, because of the death of Bai and Mama Qin, her father thoroughly investigated the people in the house, and even the smoke could be pulled out by his father, not to mention a girl who burned the fire? What secret can she hide?
Old Madam Li's face suddenly sank, and she instructed Grandma Sun:
"Don't make a noise about this matter for now, and talk about it when Saburo is looking for someone......"
"Last night, this incident made the people below shut their mouths for me! Don't damage Sister Wei'er's reputation...... If you let people spread the slightest bit, you will be killed immediately! ”
Grandma Sun bowed down and retreated outside to give the maids their orders one by one.
Mrs. Li's face was not depressed, and she always felt that she had missed something.
Could it be that Ying'er set up a suspicious array and took leave with the gatekeeper, but in fact she did not leave the house but hid in the shadows? But when people in the house go in and out, how can they avoid the gatehouse?
If she was standing in front of the window last night, how could she not have left footprints? Could it be that she knows martial arts?
But when I think about it again, I don't think it's very similar.
Once, last year, when the maid in her house went to the kitchen to serve chicken soup, she accidentally knocked over the stew pot, and the hot soup poured on Ying'er's wrist, she couldn't avoid it, and she never subconsciously made any hurtful moves......
But if she didn't know martial arts, how could she disappear out of thin air in Rui Wangfu? What did she do like this?
Mrs. Li shook her head slightly, puzzled.
"I heard that San Lang ordered someone to search the house last night, except for Yanyulou and Hua'an Hall, there is no alarm left in Qiutang Courtyard, my mother looks at whether it is good to ask someone to search together?"
"If you lose someone in the house, you can't run out of the house in the middle of the night......"
Li Shu muttered.
Mrs. Li's heart jumped:
"Didn't my father ask anyone to check on the Qiutang Courtyard last night?"
Li Shu glanced at Mrs. Li in surprise and said puzzledly:
"Naturally, I checked the outer courtyard, but inside is the residence of your second uncle and brother and sister-in-law, and Sister Yao is still a girl who has not left the pavilion, how can it be that in the middle of the night, there is a shadow that does not see a trace, and they are alarmed?"
Mrs. Li's eyes immediately flashed a glimmer of light, and she suddenly thought of something!
"Can you send someone to check in the morning?"
This...... Li Shu didn't know, and turned her head to look at Showa on the side.
Showa thought for a moment and said:
"I heard that Ying'er is missing, your father ordered someone to inform your second uncle and cousin early in the morning, and they have already checked it, but they still haven't found ......"
Mrs. Li almost blurted out:
What about Li Yao? Can she check it carefully in her room?
But after thinking about it for a while, there is no evidence for this matter at the moment, how can she involve this matter with Li Yao in front of her grandmother and eldest aunt?
But her intuition told her that if this thing was really Ying'er's doing, she was afraid that she would not be able to do it alone, and someone in the house would help her......
Looking at the entire Ruiwang Mansion, only Li Yao is the most suspicious now!
But it's not good for her to say this in front of everyone......
"Nian Xia, accompany me to Qiutang Courtyard for a trip, let's go see the fourth sister, I heard about this last night this morning, and I don't know if she didn't ......"
Mrs. Li didn't want to wait for a moment, so she got up with the corner of her skirt and said goodbye to Mrs. Li and her aunt.
Li Shu surprised her for a moment, thinking that she was not willing to take Li Yao to the palace yesterday, and Li Yao cried very much when she came to her. Or did she later give Li Yao an idea and ask her to beg the Zhao family to take her with her......
What do you think of Li Taiwei's impatient appearance...... Do you really seem to care about Sister Yao? The two children ...... What is this recitation?
Mrs. Li didn't know about the dispute between the two sisters yesterday, but when she saw this, she stretched out her hand to stop Mrs. Li, and said with a pleasant face:
"What are you doing in such a hurry? You're a kid, you've only been frightened, and you still know how to care about your fourth sister, it's really wonderful......"
"But your sister Yao told me last night that she went to her grandfather's house early this morning......"
What!
Mrs. Li was slightly shocked!
