After seeing off Mrs. Li and them, Li Taiwei took Nian Xia directly to the gatehouse, and when she asked, she found out that Li Yao left the house in a carriage before dawn.

"Can you see how many maidservants the fourth girl has taken with you?"

Mrs. Li thought for a moment, then asked with a twisted eyebrow.

The porter bowed and said:

"Back to the county lord, the fourth girl only brought two maidservants this morning."

Two?

Mrs. Li's heart moved, and then asked:

"Which two handmaidens did you bring with you, can you see their looks clearly?"

The little guy didn't seem to expect Li Taiwei to ask such a question, so he was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated:

"Back to the county lord, this ...... The little one didn't see it clearly, and it wasn't dawn yet......"

"But...... The fourth girl said this morning that she had broken her foot, and ordered the carriage to be driven to the car on Wufuxuan, and the younger one also listened to Ding Liu, who was driving, mentioned, and the fourth girl took the two of them out of the house......"

Broken foot?

Mrs. Li pursed her lips slightly, her eyes slightly cold.

Wufuxuan is a pavilion connected with the cloister, backed by a rockery, if you hide a person behind the rockery before dawn, you can be unaware......

You can just find a reason to get the coachman away, and it's easy to hide one more person in a carriage.

"Alright, you can go down."

Mrs. Li frowned slightly, and the little guy bowed and retreated.

"You go to Qiutang Courtyard to find the housekeeper and ask quietly, and see which two people the four girls took to the Bai family this morning. You need to find a reason for this, and don't alarm others. ”

Mrs. Li slightly turned her face and commanded with Nian Xia.

As soon as Nian Xia heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and said in surprise:

"The lord of the county means ......"

Mrs. Li glanced at her, stopped her words, and instructed:

"Go and come back quickly, don't startle the snake......"

Nian Xia didn't dare to say anything at once, nodded again and again, and went to Qiutang Courtyard with the corner of her skirt.

Mrs. Li was about to turn around, when a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the main gate, and when she arrived at the door, the horses neighed and told people to stop, obviously the person was in a hurry.

Mrs. Li leaned over in surprise, and before she was in a hurry to interrogate the porter, Lu Xiao casually raised a Jinwuwei waist card and rushed in like a gust of wind.

Met Li Taiwei, who was dressed in brocade clothes, and almost stopped, looked at her carefully with a nervous expression, and showed a bit of murderous aura in her eyes, and asked in a tight voice:

"How? Can you catch someone? ”

Li Taiwei didn't expect him to come so quickly, and was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.

The porter caught Lu Xiao's waist card dangerously, glanced at it, hurriedly handed it to Lu Xiao, and called Lu Shizi with a white face.

Lu Xiao didn't raise his eyes to look at him, his eyes kept glued to Li Taiwei, and seeing that she didn't make a sound, he couldn't help but worry:

"What? Scared you last night? ”

In front of the porter, Mrs. Li glared at Lu Xiao with some shame, pursed her lips, and said pretendedly:

"Lu Shizi, did you come to visit today on the orders of the queen's mother, and came to discuss the case with the county lord?"

Lu Xiao glanced at the little guy at this time, and hugged his fist at Li Taiwei and said:

"Exactly, bothering the county lord."

Mrs. Li's eyes showed a little satisfaction......

As soon as the words fell, Daifuku also rode back.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked at Lu Xiao with bright eyes, and said excitedly with Mrs. Li:

"County Lord, County Lord! Lu Shizi's equestrianism is amazing! ”

Mrs. Li glanced at her slightly, and when she saw her expression, she covered her forehead, and almost engraved the words "no interest" on her head!

Seeing this, Lu Xiao was full of anger, and looked at Li Taiwei with a smug face.

Mrs. Li was very helpless, so she had to lead him into the front hall, and asked the maid to serve tea and put a few dishes of tea and fruit.

After eating a cup of tea, Li Taiwei carefully told Lu Xiao about the events of last night, and Lu Xiao's face was gloomy after hearing it.

"Since the matter of the Bai family and the red vermilion came out last time, my father has strengthened the guards in the house, it stands to reason...... There should be few people who can have such ability, and the freedom of access to my house is ......"

Li Taiwei is colorful,

"I can't think of anyone else who can quietly touch my yard except for my own people in the house...... What's more, it was such a coincidence that Ying'er also disappeared at this time......"

Lu Xiao put down the teacup and looked at her fixedly:

"It's a bit of a coincidence......"

Mrs. Li raised her eyes slightly and looked over, and Lu Xiao continued:

"Yesterday at night, the queen issued a decree asking you and me to thoroughly investigate Xu Liangyuan's fall into the well, and you saw a figure at night, and you were frightened......"

"If it weren't for your vigilance, I didn't know what happened last night, and if it spread, I'm afraid that someone would make a big fuss about it!"

Mrs. Li frowned when she heard this:

"You mean...... Can this matter be involved in the palace? ”

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly:

"It's hard to say about this matter, it's just that Changping was frightened by the ghost, and you encountered it again last night, this thing...... Always weird......"

"Besides, if this matter is really Ying'er's doing, can you be sure who instructed her?"

Mrs. Li bowed her head slightly, and she wanted to speak, but she saw Nian Xia come in with the corner of her skirt.

Seeing Lu Xiao sitting opposite Li Taiwei, Nian Xia's footsteps froze, and he looked at Li Taiwei with a bit of inquiry.

"It's okay, come in and talk back."

Mrs. Li bowed her head slightly, her face as usual.

Nian Xia paused, then bowed in and stepped forward to salute Li Taiwei and Lu Xiao.

"How?"

Mrs. Li asked anxiously,

"What can I find out?"

As soon as Lu Xiao heard this, he knew that most of it was related to last night's incident, and turned his face to look at Nian Xia.

Nian Xia clenched his fingertips and frowned:

"Back to the county master, the slave maid just inquired, the fourth girl did take two maidservants to the Bai family this morning."

"One is Xiangling, who is serving the four girls closely, and the other is Mother Song, who was sent by the eldest lady of the Bai family to pick up the four girls yesterday."

"I heard that Mother Song only arrived at the Qiutang Courtyard yesterday when she was in charge of the lamp, and waited for the four girls to pack up some clothes and jewelry, and only accompanied the four girls back to the Yongping Bofu early this morning......"

It's actually a descendant of Yongping Bofu?

Mrs. Li's face was slightly gloomy, and her heart hung again.

In this way...... Li Yao cleared his suspicions......

If she really had the courage to secretly hide Ying'er into the carriage, she wouldn't be able to pass Mother Song's pass...... What's more, if people are held accountable, Mother Song, a foreign servant, will not keep her mouth shut!

This is the ...... Didn't she think too much?

After Lu Xiao heard what Xia said, he roughly guessed what Li Taiwei meant.

He twisted the jade pendant around his waist with his fingertips, and glanced at Li Taiwei thoughtfully:

"If it's really not Li Yao...... Could it be related to Yongping Bofu? ”

Mrs. Li raised her eyelids slightly, and there was confusion in her eyes:

"Do you suspect it's Mother Song?"

Without waiting for Lu Xiao to reply, Mrs. Li thought about it carefully, shook her head and said:

"Look, it's unlikely...... She is an elderly housekeeper mother, if she enters my yard, someone will report it, and after I was called to notice last night, how can she get out of my yard with a fresh face? ”

Lu Xiao bowed his head, but when he heard it, he still said:

"Whether it's or not, I'll ask someone to check the details of Mother Song's ...... first."
