After the Republic of China

Chapter 77 Insiders
Ximei and Xiaodong are not really stupid, they just don't like to use their brains.

Today, when the two of them saw Miss's posture, they knew that there must be something later, so they didn't dare to play tricks.

After thinking about it for a while, Ximei said first, "Miss, did you stop Xiaodong to confirm Baishanzi's news?"

She felt strangely that this incident probably had something to do with Baishanzi.

"What's the matter with Guan Baishanzi, which onion or garlic does he count?" Xiaodong snorted, and continued: "Senior sister wants to tell me to slow down, so that no one finds the trace, right?"

It's a bit interesting, Shao Yunshi knew that it would not be possible to make the two girls become smart immediately.

So, she stopped taking the exam, and said directly: "Well, Bai Shi suddenly had a seizure today, I guess she must have a backhand, maybe she left a nail to watch us, so, I tell you to take it easy."

"Senior sister, are you afraid of exposing our foundation?" Xiaodong understood.

"Yes, we can't show our strength in advance." Shao Yunshi said bluntly: "Things that scare the snake can only happen to the other party."

Xiaodong regretted, "If Brother Feihong and the others were at home, there would be no need for such trouble."

Shao Yunshi also has some regrets, but it's a pity that she is too busy at the end of the year and can't take care of both left and right.

After listening for a long time, Ximei said in surprise: "Could someone be watching us? It's bad. I'll rush out to find Bai Erniang, won't people see me?"

Shao Yunshi shook her head and said, "The other party dare not hide in our Huaiyuan, unless there is an insider."

Xiaodong suddenly recalled the matter of connecting to the corner gate of Meiyuan earlier, and was startled, "Senior sister, the person who broke the lock that day was recruited by Mrs. Bai, right?"

Shao Yunshi had suspicions that day, and now she can't tell clearly, but the consequences of the internal thief attracting foreign ghosts must be very tragic, so she made up her mind to take care of the old things, and designed the secret vault.

Seeing the senior sister's silence, Xiaodong was terrified, "Is it really Bai's fault?"

Shao Yunshi regained her senses, shook her head and said, "I don't know, but this possibility cannot be ruled out, so in the future, we have to be careful everywhere."

Ximei's face turned pale when she heard this, "Miss, I didn't expose it just now, did I?"

Shao Yunshi hurriedly comforted her: "You didn't say anything when you went to the kitchen, what are you afraid of. Besides, it's almost noon, shouldn't you go to the kitchen to have a look?"

"That's right. Fortunately, I listened to Miss and didn't ask Erniang any more." Xi Mei patted her chest happily.

Hearing these words, Shao Yunshi couldn't laugh or cry.

Xiaodong was a little more thoughtful than Ximei, and immediately said: "Senior sister, are you suspicious of Baishanzi?"

Shao Yunshi did not hide it, nodded and said: "This morning, Baijia's attitude is too strange."

"Well, it's really strange." Xi Mei no longer softened her heart, "It's fine if Er Niang and his wife aren't here, isn't Bai Shanzi also here?"

"As far as Bai Lao Er's temperament is concerned, when they go out, they will definitely keep Bai Shan Zi at home." Xiao Dong pouted.

"So, it's even more wrong for Bai Shanzi to stay at home." Shao Yunshi frowned.

Xiaodong turned quickly, "Then, we have reason to suspect that he is the insider."

Hearing this, Xi Mei frowned angrily.

"Jingle Bell……"

While talking, the doorbell at the second door rang.

Hearing a series of bells ringing green, Xiaodong hurriedly said: "It's probably Erniang who came to deliver lunch. Now, I'll go out through the side door so that she won't see me."

In Huaiyuan, Xiaodong is a special existence. He often plays so much that he doesn't go home, and it is common to miss meals.

Therefore, she will not arouse suspicion if she is not at dinner today.

Ximei felt that she was right about sneaking around, she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Xiaodong, hurry up, Erniang walks through the main entrance, so you can't see the side entrance."

Shao Yunshi faintly felt that today's incident was not only strange, but also a little dangerous. She always believed in her own feelings.

Then, she stopped her and said, "Xiaodong, don't be in a hurry, it's time for lunch, use one together before going out."

"I just ate some snacks and I'm not hungry." Xiaodong frowned and said, "Besides, if you go out late, people will smooth out the traces of these things today, so it won't be easy to investigate."

Shao Yunshi straightened her face, and said: "Be good, maybe I can ask Er Niang for a while, and there is a direction, so I can do some research."

Xiaodong felt something was wrong.

Ximei always listened to the young lady, so she directly pulled Xiaodong to open the door together to get lunch.

Probably because the lunch was made in a hurry, Bai Erniang was still very sorry.

So, she purposely followed her to the backyard, and while helping to prepare lunch, she pleaded guilty and said, "I'm annoyed by the lady today. I'm afraid this lunch tastes a bit different from the past."

Shao Yunshi waved her hands indifferently, and said: "It's okay, anyway, I don't have much appetite today, as long as I have my favorite soup, that's fine."

"Miss, what's the matter?" Bai Erniang asked casually, and replied: "Oh, I have some soup, I warmed it on the stove early in the morning, it's just right for now."

Bai Erniang knew that Miss was not a caring person, so she said this very naturally.

Seeing her natural attitude, Shao Yunshi's eyes flickered.

Ximei saw that Erniang was talking about something useless, and she was a little anxious, but just as she was about to speak, she was stared back by the young lady with a wink.

Xiaodong knew a little bit of tricks, so he helped Ximei cover up.

She smiled and asked, "Second Niang, is that lazy girl Xiao Jinling still sleeping?"

Speaking of her daughter, Bai Erniang, who was not thinking about it, said directly: "That's right, this girl didn't know what happened today, she fell asleep as soon as she got back, and it made people anxious."

Xiaodong's eyes were darkened, and he said half-truthfully: "This girl, if you wake up early and shake her, she disappears, so you think she is lazy."

Bai Erniang was embarrassed, and Chen Ken said: "Unfortunately, I know that Miss has a good temper, otherwise this girl's errand will definitely not last long."

Shao Yunshi was still very concerned about Xiao Jinling, and asked, "Is the child not sick?"

"It's okay, thank you for your concern, Miss." Bai Erniang explained again: "I leaned against her forehead, and she didn't feel hot, and I touched her back, but she didn't sweat, it's fine."

Seeing that the girl Xiao Jinling was really healthy, the three people in the room all heaved a sigh of relief. After all, the girl is fine.

Xiaodong glanced at Cai Se, and asked casually, "What are you busy with today, and you specially invited a mother to help?"

Ximei already knew about this, so it would not be surprising for Xiaodong to ask again.

Then, Bai Erniang didn't feel anything wrong after hearing this, she smiled and said: "Oh, I went out in a hurry today, I didn't have time to talk to Miss, I hope Miss will forgive me."

Shao Yunshi is not a person who treats her servants harshly, so Bai Erniang dared to say that.

Sure enough, Shao Yunshi said with a gentle expression: "What's the matter, there are only a few people in our Huaiyuan, and there is nothing to do, as long as you don't miss your errands. Besides, didn't you deliver this lunch on time?"

After all, Bai Erniang was still a little bit unsatisfied, and hurriedly said: "Today, this happened too suddenly, otherwise, the head of the family and I would not have left in such a hurry."
