Chapter 42: What Happened
The drunken man, citing going to the bathroom as an excuse, left the hall and staggered upstairs.
He refused the help of the servants, and staggered against the wall as he stepped onto the floor on the second floor.
After a drunken hiccups, he stared at the doors of the many rooms on the second floor, a little dazed.
The corridor on the second floor in front of him was empty, and there were rows of door numbers, only marked with numbers, and he couldn't find the way, so he couldn't help but be a little annoyed that he didn't let people take him upstairs just now.
"Sir, do you need any help?"
A crisp voice sounded on the side, and the man looked up drunkenly and saw a woman.
But he was so drunk that he couldn't see the woman's face, and even what the woman was wearing couldn't leave in his mind full of wine.
But in the Jing family, the only one who can use this tone is the servant.
He thought with his already mushy head, and then said in a swaggering tone, "I'm going to find the changing room, and you took me there." ”
In front of the man was Tang Xiaoci, who had just left the changing room and was holding a dress and planning to find a maid.
Originally, Tang Xiaoci didn't intend to pay attention to this man when he saw this man from afar, but he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, and still walked over.
Hearing the "changing room", her eyes darkened, and the uneasiness in her heart was completely implemented, she didn't expect them to be so impatient
She smiled and said, "Sir, over here, please come with me." ”
Sending the man into the changing room, Tang Xiaoci randomly arrested a servant, and after asking her about the location of the laundry room, he thanked her with a smile and left.
"Young grandma, what's the matter?"
Generally, the host's family does not come to the laundry room in person, so when they saw Tang Xiaoci come in, the existing maids in the laundry room were a little nervous.
On the day Tang Xiaoci became Jing Heng's wife, the housekeeper of the old mansion posted Tang Xiaoci's photo among the servants, and everyone knew what Tang Xiaoci looked like.
Today is the day of the banquet of the main family, and if something happens to them here and the host family needs to deal with it himself, everyone will be to blame.
Tang Xiaoci didn't make them nervous for too long.
She raised the soiled dress in her hand and smiled apologetically: "My dress is dirty, please clean it for me, I will give it to me before I leave, is it okay?" ”
Hearing that it was just a trivial matter, all the servants breathed a sigh of relief.
The maid closest to Tang Xiaoci hurriedly took the dress and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young grandmother, we will definitely clean it up for you." ”
After getting the servant's affirmative reply, Tang Xiaoci smiled a little happier.
"Then I'll bother you."
After speaking, Tang Xiaoci said goodbye to them and left the laundry room.
The servants also smiled and said goodbye to her.
The laundry room is in the deepest part of the first floor of the villa, and there is a direct way to the hall, but Tang Xiaoci did not choose so.
She looked around, and when she saw that there was no one, she took off her shoes and carried them in her hands.
Then he walked up to the second floor without making a sound.
At this time, a maid dressed in the costume of a Jing family maid walked to the changing room on the second floor in a panic.
She took her phone out of the pocket of her apron, looked at the time on it, and swallowed.
As the time ticked to the whole number, she took a deep breath and slowly changed the door to the closet.
At first she only pushed open a small crack, but the light was not turned on in the changing room, and she remembered the man's instructions, so she could only push the door open a little more.
The hallway light weaved into the room through a one-person-wide crack in the door, and in the middle of it was the shadow of a maid.
She craned her neck nervously, trying to take a closer look at the room.
And just then, a strong force suddenly came from behind her.
She was thrust into the room, and before she could even turn to see who had pushed her, the door was shut.
Immediately after, the sound of a falling lock sounded.
The maid panicked instantly.
She twisted the doorknob frantically with one hand, slammed the door with the other, and screamed, "Who is it! Open the door! Let me out!! ”
However, no matter how much she cried, there was no sound outside.
I don't know how long later, a scream suddenly came from the second floor, so loud that it could be heard in the hall.
Mei Yufang, who was greeting other noblewomen, heard the shout, and her red lips slowly rose through the cover of the wine glass.
After the Jing family comforted the guests and left some people who could stabilize the scene, they walked upstairs one after another.
Jing Heng was not interested in this kind of thing, so he was among the ones who stayed to appease the guests.
The old man who walked at the forefront frowned, obviously already a little angry.
Mei Yufang took advantage of everyone's inattention and followed the people of the Jing family to the second floor.
After going up to the second floor, the crying was even more pronounced.
The group followed the sound and soon came to the door of the changing room.
At this moment, the voice was completely clear.
"Help! Help me! ”
The miserable cries were so terrible that they couldn't even hear who the owner of the voice was.
This kind of thing is naturally impossible for the old man to open the door.
So a bold junior stepped forward, twisted the doorknob, and saw that it couldn't be opened, so he turned his head to look at the old man and asked for his opinion.
The door to the changing room is usually not locked, so this is clearly man-made.
The butler, who was in charge of all the keys, also hurried in after hearing the words of others.
Without the old man to speak, he took out a large set of keys from his arms, instantly turned out the key to the changing room, and handed it to the junior.
The junior opened the door very neatly, and then pushed it open vigorously.
The sweet smell wafted out of the room in an instant, and everyone was immediately stunned by the smell.
"What does this smell like?" The straight man suddenly exclaimed.
The Jing family is very familiar with the smell of the old house, even if they are fools, they know that the taste is wrong.
At this moment, a frightened voice came from behind everyone:
"That's Xiaoyue's bracelet, it's my daughter's bracelet."
Mei Yufang squeezed from the edge of the line to the middle of the crowd, her eyes and hands quickly pointing to something very conspicuous on the ground.
In order not to show her stuffing, Tang Xiaoyue was left in the hall by her.
She followed the people of the Jing family up, and when she saw Tang Xiaoci's bracelet lying in the changing room, she knew that things were stable.
The latter words didn't even need Mei Yufang to continue, combined with the sobbing sound and the ambiguous voice coming from the room, everyone knew what was going on inside.
Old Man Jing and Jing Shiyu's faces instantly darkened again.
The rest of the Jing family showed a gloating expression, and the jokes of the big house were not seen every day.
Liu Mei stood beside Jing Shiyu, covering her mouth in surprise, and the corners of her mouth that were actually covered by her fingers were raised high. Secretly proud in his heart, "It seems that the surname Mei still has some ability." ’
