Dressed as a female partner, she was spotted by the reborn male protagonist

Chapter 9
"I wonder where Miss Third is going to start investigating?"

Grandma Li followed Ruan Mianmian to the moon cave door between the inner and outer courtyards, and couldn't help but stop.

Now she has no clue. Finding it out before nightfall is like a fantasy to her.

Ruan Mianmian walked straight to a pavilion closest to the Moon Cave Gate and sat down to rest. She looked so carefree and leisurely, which made Grandma Li even more anxious.

"What do you think Nanny Li?"

Originally, when Grandma Li heard this, she should have rolled her eyes silently, but she felt happy in her heart. Miss Ruan San was considered normal.

In the past few days, she has been playing straight and straight, and she doesn't look like the third lady who is usually deep-minded and has eight hundred thoughts.

"I think we don't have any clues right now, so we might as well issue a reward. If anyone knows anything about it, we'll give him two taels of silver. With more information, we can naturally find clues to the thief."

Ruan Mianmian had a smile on her face, but her heart became even colder. After all, this nanny Li belonged to Mrs. Ruan. Did she intend to let her find the culprit? !
If it had been another matter, someone in the mansion might be willing to report her, but after stealing the old lady's things and having the old lady order a thorough investigation, even smarter servants would avoid such a big deal.

Even if there are some trivial things that cost money or life, they may not be useful for this matter, and they will distract her attention. In today's tight time situation, it is the most undesirable method.

"Mama Li, are there any other things missing from the warehouse?"

Grandma Li's face turned pale and she said vaguely, "It should be gone."

"Should it? Then why not have someone take the book and check it? Maybe we can find some clues."

"Miss Third, now the old man only needs to find the baggage bottle. If he really finds something else, wouldn't it cause trouble for ourselves?"

"Qie'er, go ask the housekeeper for a copy of the house's accounts book, and go to the warehouse to check it out."

When Grandma Li heard this, her face became even more ugly. She hurriedly said, "Third Miss, Que'er is just a second-class maid. She doesn't know much, so she should be an old slave."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Grandma Li."

As soon as Nanny Li left, Ruan Mianmian asked Queer to go to the outer courtyard to look for someone named Lian Sheng.

This Lien Sheng in the book is a rare loyal servant because Ruan Qingyun saved him. When Ruan Qingyun was exiled to the North, he was the only one who protected him all the way, but in the end he died because of Ruan Qingyun's cowardice.

Ruan Mianmian felt reassured by such a loyal person, not to mention that she didn't want the loyal person to have a tragic end.

After a while, a young man stood outside the pavilion. He was short and looked to be about seven or eight years old. He was well-behaved and kept kneeling on the ground without looking up. He also answered in a very orderly manner.

"Is there a new person in the house recently?"

The reason why Ruan Mianmian asked this was because she had been observing everyone's movements in Qinghe Residence just now. Hu was obviously unaware. Although the old lady had her own little thoughts, her anger was not fake, and it was definitely not her. done by people.

As for what Grandma Li was hiding, she did know, but that matter had nothing to do with it.

What's more, she heard at Prince Mian's Mansion that day that Prince Mian had placed spies in the Ruan family. The Ruan family had always been stable, and if something suddenly happened, she would naturally be suspicious.

"Back to Miss Third, we haven't bought anyone in our house recently."

Ruan Mianmian smiled lightly, this is interesting. This Ruan Mansion is really leaking like a hornet's nest. There are so many monsters, ghosts and snakes. It seems that it needs to be reorganized.

"I heard that you have a dog outside the yard?"

Lian Sheng raised his head suddenly. He secretly raised the dog. How could the third lady know? !
The mute uncle kept asking him to throw the dog out. After all, he did not get the owner's consent. If it was really discovered, he might be thrown out together with the dog.Lian Sheng endured the words that came to his lips and lowered his head in resignation, with a righteous look that made Ruan Mianmian laugh.

"Take the dog and go to the warehouse and find the baggage bottle by smell. If you can't find it, you and it will be disposed of together according to the rules of the house."

Lian Sheng suddenly raised his head, said nothing, only nodded solemnly, and ran away.

Ruan Mianmian breathed out and told Que'er, "Go to the big kitchen and bring some snacks and jasmine tea."

Que'er had a look of astonishment on her face, "Miss Third, it's already the You... You hour now, isn't it?"

Ruan Mianmian looked at Que'er calmly, waiting for her next words.

"Don't you, Miss Third, not eat after lunch? What's more, you never eat sweets?"

The original owner was really cruel to herself in order to marry a high-ranking family, but she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her daily consumption was greater than her intake. She never had taboos and could eat whatever she wanted, and her appetite was particularly good.

Grandpa always said that she tasted delicious food, and he could eat two more bowls of rice every time he was with her.

Ruan Mianmian felt sad when she thought of her grandfather, calmed herself down, and told Que'er, "This rule will have to be changed in the future, so go quickly."

After a while, Que'er brought over a pot of jasmine green tea, along with a plate of mung bean cake, a plate of cloud rolls, peanut cakes and other snacks.

The third lady had never eaten these before, so she didn't know the master's taste, so she took a little of each of today's snacks from the big kitchen.

Ruan Mianmian only took one bite and drank several sips of tea.

"This is too boring." The taste of it reminded her of the mooncake gift box she received during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year.

"Miss, the cook in our house was brought back from the capital. The dim sum he makes is considered to be the best in Suzhou. It is much more delicious than the dim sum at Jiangxinlou."

Ruan Mianmian was speechless. After all these things were done, she took Que'er to study some snacks. Otherwise, life without sweets would be too bitter.

Ruan Mianmian drank a few more cups of tea, and Liansheng came back with the dog and a crimson cloth bag in his hand.

"Back to Third Miss, I found the baggage bottle, but it was broken into pieces and buried under the pear tree outside Nuanxiangju."

When Que'er heard that it was Nuanxiangju, her face turned pale and she was extremely worried.

Nuanxiang Residence was originally the courtyard where Ruan Lingxiao lived before she got married. Later, Mrs. Ruan took it back and specially allocated it to her aunt Ruan Yunyan, who returned home. Now that her aunt has not come back, it is obvious that someone deliberately guided her.

My aunt is Mrs. Ruan’s only daughter, and she has grown up holding her like a jewel. Now that I put Ruan Lingxiao and Mrs. Ruan’s babies together, I wonder who the old lady will choose.

The person who pulled this trick is really a good calculator!
"Where's that crimson cloth bag? Have you found the owner?" Ruan Mianmian smiled coldly, and that smile was like the ice of the winter moon, making people shiver at the sight of it.

……

Grandma Li was just in the warehouse, so she naturally got the news. At this time, she was rushing to Yiran Pavilion with a happy face. The third lady shot herself in the foot and wanted to check the warehouse. Huh, let's see what she does. end.

But when she arrived, she met the frosty-faced third lady, and brought a woman wearing a crow-blue armor into a neighboring room in the outer courtyard.

Grandma Li looked at that figure from behind, why did she feel so familiar!
