Chapter 307 Abnormal
So when the eldest sister asked her to help find out the progress of the case of Shopkeeper Liu’s death, even though she knew that there was something wrong with it, she immediately agreed with joy,
The eldest sister regretted not letting her help because she was afraid that she would be rewarded later.
“My eldest aunt lives a thorough life and knows a lot. She was also the mother who gave me advice before. It shows that my eldest aunt is willing to help my mother. In this way, my mother might as well walk around more with my eldest aunt on weekdays. , Maybe I will get a chance to make amends with my sister from my eldest aunt." Meng Meili thought for a while and came up with this roundabout way.
After hearing this, Wu felt that this proposal was feasible: "What you said makes sense!"
Kite came back after noon and walked down the side door, without jumping over eaves or walls, without climbing over walls and trees, and returned to the Meng Mansion in a well-behaved manner.
Before entering Taichen Courtyard, I was greeted by Wu who had just come out of Zehui Courtyard.
Ms. Wu thought for a while, turned around and walked back to Zehui Courtyard. She felt that her stepdaughter was so busy that she always sent the maids around her out. She didn’t know what they were busy with. She told her eldest sister-in-law, or What can I hear from the elder sister-in-law's mouth.
Kite didn't know what Wu was thinking, nor did he know that after Wu saw her coming back, he turned around and chatted with Shang again.
When asked about Meng Shisan who was reading in the study, she walked directly to the study. After entering the study, she didn’t have any extra words to say. After seeing the ceremony, she went straight to the topic: "Miss, who is the owner of that private house, slave? Found it out.”
"Who?"
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince."
Hearing that the house the maid entered belonged to the Fifth Prince Li Luo, Meng Shisan muttered: "That maid actually belongs to His Highness the Fifth Prince. ...Is she still alive and well?"
Kite paused and understood that her lady was asking her whether the maid was silenced by the fifth prince: "When the slave came back, the maid was still alive. Okay.”
Meng Shisan thought that Shopkeeper Liu was dead, and Li Luo asked the maid to find trouble with Shopkeeper Yu, aiming at the painting that Shopkeeper Liu gave to Shopkeeper Yu before he died. Before she could get the son, the two idle men had been sent away from the capital by her. The maid didn't know that the matter was exposed. Naturally, Li Luo didn't know that what he did had completely fallen into her eyes, and naturally there was no need to silence him.
She said: "It seems that the maid is not suspicious of the two idle men she hired. The fifth prince's purpose is to paint, but the painting is in my hands at the moment. Apart from us, only the shopkeeper knows about this."< br>
"What the lady means is..."
"I have seen the painting and remembered it in my mind. You can go to Nanshu Alley later and hand over the painting." Return it to the shopkeeper and tell him, if so. If the maid tries to force him to hand over something again, she still has to resist, but don’t take it seriously. After making a show of it, she will give the painting to her. "
Kite said puzzledly: "Miss, there is no need. That painting "
Meng Shisan nodded: "I have roughly guessed what Shopkeeper Liu wants to express, and keeping it will serve no other purpose than adding danger to Shopkeeper Yu's life."< br>
"No."
"Did Shopkeeper Yu go to the capital office with two other old friends?"
Kite said: "Yes."
"Shopkeeper Yu, on the contrary, There is love and righteousness, no wonder Shopkeeper Liu is still alive It's a pity that the painting can be given to him for safekeeping at the critical moment, but shopkeeper Yu doesn't understand it." Meng Shisan sighed, then said after a pause, "But it's a good thing."
After all, the less you know, the more safety you have.
Kite sent Hua'er back to Mingyue Di shop, where he waited until dusk before waiting for Shopkeeper Yu who returned to the capital to inquire about the progress of Shopkeeper Liu's death.
He looked frustrated. Apparently nothing could be found out.
When he heard the waiter say that Kite had been waiting for him in the store for a long time, he was surprised and trotted to the small courtyard behind. When he entered the wing and heard Kite's intention, he took it from him. He only knew what was going on with the painting he gave to Meng Shisan.
"My boss, this is..." Shopkeeper Yu could understand what the boss conveyed by the kite, but he didn't quite understand which move his boss was making. "Well, I will do whatever my boss says. Do.”
Even if he asked, the kite girl in front of him would not elaborate with him.
Furthermore, maybe even the kite girl doesn't know what the boss is planning.
"The young lady also told me that after the death of Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Yu should stop running to the capital office. There is no point in running." Kite conveyed Meng Shisan's second intention of asking her to make this trip.
Shopkeeper Yu opened his mouth to think about how it might be useless to refute, but when he thought about how many times he and his two old friends had gone to Beijing Yamen in the past two days, but the harvest was very little, he couldn't help but shut his mouth again. He lowered his eyes and sighed sadly.
Seeing this, Kite continued: "What the lady said is true. Moreover, the three of you running like this will fall into the eyes of some people, and you will be a thorn in their side. Hand over the painting and say goodbye in peace and quiet." Blending, this is because I don’t want to see you have no ability to protect yourself, and suddenly die suddenly like Shopkeeper Liu.”
When it came to this, shopkeeper Yu would no longer be ignorant and accepted: "I know that my boss is doing it for our own good. I will tell them later that I will not go to Beijing again."
"That's good." Kite felt relieved.
After Kite finished his errands, he left Mingyue Mansion. As soon as he returned to the gate of Meng Mansion, before he entered, he saw a carriage parked under the side wall of the manor gate.
When she looked over, the maid in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked out, meeting her eyes.
With just one glance, she recognized the maid as Hong Zao beside Miss Xi.
Without any further pause, she walked quickly through the door.
When Hong Zao saw the kite, she went back to the carriage to ask Xi Yanwen for instructions. When Xi Yanwen nodded, she raised the curtain again and wanted to call the kite, but unexpectedly she could no longer see the kite.
"Miss, all the maids around Miss Meng have gone in." She returned to the carriage and reported.
Xi Yanjuan came to see Meng Shisan this time, but she really didn't think about why she came to see Meng Shisan and what to say after meeting her.
Hearing Hong Zao's reply, she had just mustered up the courage to go to the door of Meng's house and say it no matter what she said, but she lost it in an instant, and she fell silent.
Seeing this, Hongzao didn't dare to say anything anymore and sat quietly in the carriage with her.
As soon as Kite returned to Taichen Courtyard, she reported to Meng Shisan that after the shopkeeper promised not to get involved in Shopkeeper Liu’s death, she also reported the driver she saw outside the house: " Miss Xi is here, but for some reason she stayed in the carriage and did not get out of the car."
Baozhu was very unhappy. He said with understanding: "Last time, Mrs. Xi paid a visit with a generous gift and thanked her in person for saving Miss Xi's life. Why did Miss Xi come again? Didn't she come in when she came?"
Mr. Niu had indeed taken Xi Yanwen to the Meng Mansion, and was received by Mr. Shang personally, with Meng Shisan by his side.
Thanks have already been given. Considering the fact that Xi Yanjuan stabbed Meng Shisan in the back, it is impossible for Meng Shisan to be close to Xi Yanjuan anymore. Therefore, Xi Yanjuan’s behavior fell into the trap of In the eyes of the three masters and servants, it was really abnormal.
