Chapter 15: The Clever Girl
Zhuang Youjie cast a look like Liang Yuanque, as if asking him if he wanted to follow.
Liang Yuanque thought that it was unnecessary for him to deal with the Zhuang family, so he asked him to follow the porter first, and he went back to their residence to sort out his thoughts first, and then went to investigate against time.
After Zhuang Youjie followed the concierge uncle away, Liang Yuanque walked to the room arranged for him by the Shen family, this kind of courtyard in and out, the guest rooms prepared are generally close to the outer courtyard and the door, especially he and Zhuang Youjie are both men, and Master Shen naturally arranged the guest rooms to keep them away from the inner courtyard where the female dependents lived.
However, at this time, a person appeared near their residence that seemed to be unattended.
A little girl who looked like a maid was looking around in a circle at Liang Yuanque's residence, and from time to time she looked towards the door, as if to judge whether there was anyone in the door.
This maid is dressed as a maid in the inner courtyard, and the clothes and accessories on her body are more upscale than those of the rough maid, similar to the swift next to the eldest lady Shen Yuelan.
It seems that she is also a big maid who is waiting closely, the Shen family has a total of two daughters, and now that the eldest lady has passed away, it is easy to guess who this maid is.
Liang Yuanque did not arrange a servant to serve, at this time it was daylight, and the night vigil had also been withdrawn, at this time the surroundings were quietly empty, which gave the little maid convenience, she carefully made sure that no one noticed herself, and then quietly walked up the doorway, and looked inside through the crack in the door.
When Liang Yuanque and the others went out in the morning, they didn't alarm many people, and at the same time refused to call a taxi, now that they think about it, it was really prescient, at least the people in the inner courtyard didn't seem to know that they had left the Shen family all morning.
The moment Liang Yuanque found the maid, he sensed that she was a little strange from her movements, and immediately learned from Zhuang Youjie's appearance last night, and dodged into the dense flowers and grass on the edge of the path.
He just hid, watching the maid who thought that her movements were very light and peeked through the crack in the door, this was because there was no one in the room, if Liang Yuanque was really in the room, the little maid would be noticed by him when she walked into the room, let alone pick up the crack in the door.
The little maid glanced at the door, obviously noticing that there was no one in the room, so she stepped back lightly and walked down the stairs to leave.
Liang Yuanque saw that the maid was leaving, so he quietly left the flowers when she turned her back, and staged a real "light hand" for her.
"What are you doing here?"
The maid was caught off guard, and screamed uncontrollably when she heard the man's voice in her ear, it was the afternoon, and it was quiet in the Shen Mansion, it seemed that many people were taking a lunch break, her scream was very abrupt, Liang Yuanque quickly covered her mouth, thinking that the other party was a young girl, so she was much gentler than when she treated Zhuang Youjie last night.
But the little maid didn't take his "gentle" affection, taking advantage of his slackness, he opened his mouth and bit the palm meat under his tiger's mouth, because of the action, the maid's bite was actually not hard, but after all, it was bitten, Liang Yuanque felt the stinging pain in the palm, and the reflex pulled his hand.
As soon as the palm covering her mouth was removed, the little girl was about to scream again, he didn't have time to shake off the saliva on his hand, grabbed her shoulders and forced her to face him, "If you don't want to be knocked out, stop your throat!" ”
The little girl seemed to be very scared, her eyes were like a dishcloth, the water was squeezed out, and the pear blossoms that cried in an instant brought rain, as if she was bullied by Liang Yuanque.
Liang Yuanque was really convinced, and a wave of resentment surged in his heart for no reason, thinking that the swift was also such a trembling character, and couldn't help but think in his heart, are all the girls in Liucheng this kind of personality?
Liang Yuanque has traveled north and south over the years, and has seen men and women of various personalities, in fact, he has seen a lot of people like the little maid in front of him who like to cry, but he has never been used to it.
This may be because he is too impressed by the women he got along with in his childhood, and the two women he is most familiar with in his life, his mother and his eldest sister, are more fierce and spicy than the other.
His mother would tie him to the bench and smoke him after he got into trouble, and his eldest sister would wedge him with a bench to cover his face with a bench after he messed with him.
When he was beaten when he was a child, he indignantly thought that women should not be like this, and he would definitely not ask for such a daughter-in-law in the future, but when he grew up, it seemed that his brain was broken, and he began to subconsciously get used to the fact that women should be like this.
Of course, this could also be because he misses them so much.
The little maid who was being pulled by him in front of him, with his thoughts, his face gradually overlapped with the eldest sister in his memory, and he suddenly couldn't bear it in his heart and let go of his hand.
"If you talk well, I won't beat you up and say what are you here for?"
The maid's crying snot came out, and she wiped her face with the palm of her hand indiscriminately, "Young Master Huiliang, the slave's name is Zhicui." ”
"I didn't ask what your name was, I asked what you were here for." Liang Yuanque frowned.
The little girl knelt down in a panic, lowered her head and cried to Liang Yuanque, "Slave, slave is a ...... sent by Mama Zhao to serve Young Master Liang."
Liang Yuanque's eyes changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at this little girl, this girl is a little interesting, at least compared with the swift next to Miss Lan, she is a little smarter.
She knelt down with her eyebrows lowered and lowered her head, ostensibly because she was crying, but in fact to hide her true expression.
She knew that she might not be able to disguise her expression, so she had to find a way to hide it.
But it's a pity that she fell in love with a guy like Liang Yuanque who is used to calculating people's hearts, she is a little smart, and she is very smart.
And just now, Liang Yuanque also observed with his own eyes, where is this little maid who is here to serve people, it is clearly sneaky.
The Mama Zhao she said in her mouth, Liang Yuanque didn't know who it was, but listening to the meaning of her words, she was also her higher-level character, but now she lowered her head to hide her expression, which was to prove that she was actually lying, no matter how bad it was, half of this sentence was a lie.
Liang Yuanque still insisted on his previous judgment, this girl should not be the housekeeper who can be dispatched to serve the guests at will, she is the person close to the young lady!
Even though she knelt at her feet, Liang Yuanque was unmoved, staring closely at the girl kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold tone, "You didn't tell the truth. ”
This maid named Zhicui, when she heard his words, her shoulders that shrugged because of sobbing stopped for a moment, and she seemed to be stunned, but she soon returned to normal, which shows that this girl still has some ability in her heart.
“… Yes, yes, what the young master said is that I was indeed called by the second miss to serve people, but it was also the second miss who asked Mama Zhao to bring me over......"
Liang Yuanque behind her didn't have the heart to listen, anyway, he also had his own judgment in his heart, this little girl refused to tell the truth, she pretended to tell part of the truth, in fact, it was to cover up another part of the more important lie, that is, Liang Yuanque has been asking about the purpose of her coming.
I don't know if this is her own cleverness, or if she has been taught by Shen Yuexin in advance, if she has so many hearts, looking at her age that seems to be younger than Swift, Liang Yuanque can't help but think, if such a girl is tempered by life for a few more years, it is estimated that she can grow into a person-like character, but it is a pity that such a heart and eyes grow on the body of a little girl, and these wits can only be used in the back house, which is really a pity.
And once she mentioned the second lady Shen Yuexin, Liang Yuanque was even more sure of the judgment in her heart about her purpose of coming, Zhicui was sent by Shen Yuexin to investigate the news of Liang Yuanque's side, this Zhicui is Shen Yuexin's personal person, and it is estimated that she is also the smartest person around her, so it is also reasonable to send her to carry out this task.
Oh, Shen Yuexin, this person is really full of "I'm very suspicious" so far, but is it really possible for a girl with such shallow behavior and mind to design a brutal murder case to kill her sister?
