Chapter 099: Disappearing Out of Thin Air
Meng Yingying came to the courtyard where the people of the Meng Mansion lived alone, intending to look carefully there.
However, her judgment was not wrong, at this time, the people were still busy in various positions, and no one stayed in their residences at all, except for some who were sick and needed bed rest.
Meng Yingying patiently searched for them one by one, but she almost walked through the courtyard where the next person lived, but she still found no trace of Maomao, so she began to be a little depressed, and she was even more worried about Maomao's safety.
Could it have accidentally gone outside?
But every gate of the Meng Mansion is guarded, and it stands to reason that Mao Mao should not have left the Meng Mansion yet.
There must have been something else that she hadn't thought of for a while. Where is it?
Meng Yingying twisted her eyebrows and thought about it carefully, and finally made her think of a place that she hadn't looked for yet.
So she immediately changed the direction of her goal and looked for a more remote corner of the Meng Mansion.
By the time Meng Yingying came to the most remote courtyard in Mengfu, the sun had already set. The faint glow of the sunset not only has no illuminating effect, but also adds a bit of depression and silence. In particular, this courtyard is overgrown with weeds, as if it has been abandoned, and at first glance, it is quite infiltrating.
To be honest, Meng Yingying also felt a little scared in her heart. But in order to find Maomao, she gritted her teeth and walked in boldly.
It is said that this remote and dilapidated courtyard is inhabited by a middle-aged uncle with a withdrawn temperament, but because this uncle was brought back by her eldest brother when he was a child, out of doting on his eldest brother, even if her eldest brother has become like this now, the old lady did not drive this person out of Mengfu, but just let him stay alone in this extremely remote courtyard, occasionally driving a car for his eldest brother or something.
Knowing that there was still someone living inside, Meng Yingying's heart was not so afraid.
Then she began to look for the house in the yard, intending to ask the uncle who lived here if he had seen Maomao.
Although everyone else is busy preparing for Daddy's birthday, this uncle is different, he usually only has something to do when his eldest brother is out occasionally. The rest of the time, it is said that he was left alone in this remote compound and did not associate with other people.
Therefore, Meng Yingying believes that the uncle must be in the house at this time.
Luckily, she didn't have long to look for and found the house.
Meng Yingying was overjoyed, she walked over quickly with her skirt, but when she was about to knock on the door, she found that the wooden door was hidden, so she pushed it lightly, and the door opened by itself.
Meng Yingying craned her neck and looked inside curiously, while asking softly, "Is anyone inside?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw what seemed to be a fluffy mass under the wooden table.
Meng Yingying was overjoyed and thought, could it be Maomao?
But because the light in the house was too dim, Meng Yingying couldn't see clearly for a while. So she simply walked in and took a look for herself.
But before she could take a few steps, her legs suddenly went limp, and then her eyes went black, and she lost consciousness......
..................
At the beginning of nightfall, Litang Garden, in the hall.
"It's strange, it's been this hour, why hasn't Yingying come yet?" Meng Zhirou waited from three or four o'clock in the afternoon until dinner was over, but she still couldn't wait for her half-sister Meng Yingying.
Seeing this, Han on the side said, "Yingying may not be available, so I won't come here today." ”
Meng Zhirou said, "If she is really not available, she should send someone to inform me." ”
"It's so late, she won't come. Rou'er is still ready to take a bath and change clothes, so let's rest early. Han said.
"Hmm. Meng Zhirou nodded, if she really forgot, then she would personally send the things to her tomorrow morning, because she looked at her as if she was in a hurry.
But just as she was about to go back to her room to shower and change her clothes, she heard a knock on the door outside, and it was quite urgent.
Meng Zhirou stopped curiously, planning to see what was going on before returning to the room.
Han Shi also looked at the source of the voice, with a faint smile on his lips.
After a while, a maid walked in quickly and reported to them.
"Third lady, eldest lady, the second lady came over and said that the second lady went out to look for Mao Mao at about three o'clock, and she hasn't come back yet. So the second lady wants to ask the third lady or the eldest lady if she has seen the second lady this afternoon. The man was still waiting outside the door, waiting for the reply of the third lady and the eldest lady. The little maid who came to report didn't dare to slack off for a moment.
"What? Second Miss went to look for Maomao and still hasn't come back yet?" Meng Zhirou said in surprise, she thought that Yingying didn't come to pick up things today and just forgot, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
It's just that why did Yingying go to help find Maomao? Isn't it okay for someone to do these things?
Meng Zhirou was both surprised and puzzled.
I saw that the little maid nodded immediately and said, "Yes, that person said that the second lady is very anxious now, not only Mingyuexuan, but also people from other rooms have already sent people to ask." ”
"We haven't seen Second Miss today, you hurry up and reply to that person, let him hurry up and look elsewhere!" At this time, Han said with a worried face.
"Yes, Third Lady. After the maid got the reply, she immediately withdrew and told the Zhou people.
"Mother, where did you say Yingying would go?" Meng Zhirou was also very worried.
Han shook his head and said worriedly, "Mother doesn't know either." But I hope that Yingying is auspicious and natural, and nothing will happen. ”
..................
Over there, Mingyue Xuan.
"You mean, the second lady said this afternoon that she was going to help find Maomao, and then she disappeared?" Qu Yiyi was also very surprised when she first heard the news.
However, after she calmed down, she began to analyze the suspicions of the matter.
So she immediately found the person who had been to Xiyuan today to look for Mao Mao, and asked him for more details.
At that time, Meng Yue was also there, and while he was playing with his son as usual, he was playing with his son without paying attention to what was going on outside the window, and at the same time paying close attention to Qu Yiyi's conversation.
The little guy who met Meng Yingying in Xiyuan this afternoon nodded and recalled, "Yes, the second miss seemed to be about to go out at that time, so she happened to hear the conversation between me and that person, so the second miss suddenly said that she was going to help find Maomao." ”
"So did you see which direction the second miss was going in at that time, or did the others see which direction the second miss was going?" Qu Yiyi threw out two more questions.
This matter is really strange, the people guarding the entrances and exits of the Meng Mansion said that they had never seen Meng Yingying leave the mansion, unless she knew the art of flying to the heavens and the earth, it was impossible for her to disappear into thin air in the Meng Mansion.
But if she is still in the Meng Mansion, then since three o'clock in the afternoon, until now, she has been missing for nearly four hours, with the Zhou family's status and strength in the mansion, but she has not found out the person, it is really strange.
The man shook his head and said, "It's just that someone has seen Second Miss near the small garden, but then I don't know where Second Miss has gone." ”
"Mao Mao hasn't been found yet, and the second lady has disappeared because she is looking for Mao Mao...... Qu Yiyi muttered, and then, an uneasy premonition arose.
