She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 95 No one is seen
Another unfamiliar maid!
Shen Jiaojiao's heart was beating like thunder. She had suffered the loss of being a stranger before and was deceived into Qinghui Courtyard by Wang Zhu's lie.

Besides, if Miss Zhou really wants to send a food box, she should ask Keyun to wait for the maid to deliver it.

After all, these maids came from the Pearl Academy, and there was a sense of friendship.

It just so happened that the person delivering the food box was a noodle maid...

Without any time to think about it, Shen Jiaojiao told Keying to go to Xiyuan to look for Miss Zhou in person. She must see Miss Zhou in person.

She personally took people to the locations circled on the map to see if she could find any clues.

Time was urgent, and she had to confirm Miss Zhou's safety as soon as possible.

Even if it turned out to be an error in the end, it would still be better than Miss Zhou being poisoned by Meng Wan.

The master and the servant divided their troops into two groups.

Circled on the map is a vacant courtyard, some distance away from Hanlian Courtyard. It stands to reason that if Meng Wan wanted to take action, he should not choose this position...

Shen Jiaojiao hurried over with the newly bought servants in the courtyard.

"Miss, there is someone in the yard!"

There was a boy with sharp eyes who could see someone rummaging around in the courtyard at a glance.

"Catch them!" Shen Jiaojiao ordered.

"Yes!" Four martial arts boys swarmed forward, and several other maids and women were not to be outdone, surrounding the courtyard.

Soon, everyone in the courtyard was escorted out.

"Aoxue, let's take a look." She glanced at the three kneeling maids, left an instruction, and walked straight into the courtyard.

The yard was full of signs of being rummaged through.

With just one look, she knew she didn't have to look any further.

These three maids must have seen the map in the food box and searched here for a long time. Otherwise, they alone would not be able to rummage through the yard in a short time.

This shows one thing - nothing is hidden in the courtyard.

"Miss, they refused to say anything." Aoxue walked in. Seeing the mess in the yard, she also frowned, "Miss, something is wrong."

She turned back to look at Aoxue, "You don't think it's right? I've never played any treasure-hiding games with Miss Zhou. The 'treasure' Miss Zhou said should be pointing to something."

"Yes, I heard that Miss Zhou only stayed in Xiyuan or went to the front yard to look for her uncle. How could she have time to come here?" Aoxue agreed.

"Let's go, there won't be anything here."

Shen Jiaojiao decisively gave up the search and returned to the courtyard gate, staring at the three unfamiliar maids.

"Which courtyard are you from?" she asked.

The three of them lowered their heads and shook their bodies like sieves, but they said nothing and did not even dare to beg for mercy.

She sighed, knowing that they would not speak easily, and looked back at the yard.

His eyes inadvertently glanced at the plaque hanging at the entrance of the courtyard, and he figured out the key in an instant.

——Fangyan Pavilion.

Yan is the face of Miss Zhou, Zhou Yan, but what about Fang?
What does Fang mean?
Just as he was thinking about it, Ke Ying hurried over.

"Miss, Miss Zhou is not in Xiyuan."

As she said that, Keying lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "The servants in Xiyuan said they didn't see it. Even the maid you sent over earlier said the same thing. I don't know if it was the truth or a lie."

"When did he disappear?" she asked with a frown.

"None of them wanted to say anything. Seeing that Keyun seemed to have something to say, the servant brought them over."

Ke Ying pulled the maid who was following behind her over.

"Back to the eldest lady, after lunch today, Miss Zhou said she wanted to go back to the house to rest. Since then, I haven't seen Miss Zhou," Keyun said.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at her steadily for a long time, then suddenly asked a question without knowing anything.

"What's your name now?"

Keyun thought that the eldest lady was dissatisfied with her name change, so she hurriedly replied: "This slave girl changed her name to Lian Yi, and it was Miss Zhou who gave her the name." "Where are the other maids? Are there any with the word 'Fang'?"

Lian Yi thought about it carefully and shook his head, "No."

She said 'hmm' and fell into deep thought again.

What does the word 'Fang' mean?
"Miss, what should we do with these three people?" Ke Ying asked as she carefully looked at the three people kneeling on the ground. The more she looked at one of them, the more familiar she felt.

"This is the maid who delivered the food box! No wonder I didn't see her in Xiyuan, she was hiding here." Keying said in surprise.

"They have tough mouths and are unwilling to speak." Shen Jiaojiao frowned, "Keying, first send a clever boy to report to the official that the concubine of the Meng family has disappeared mysteriously."

"Yes." Keying responded and immediately nodded to the boy with good eyesight from before, "Xiao Shu, go ahead and remember to take the token from the Pearl Courtyard, otherwise the concierge will not let you out."

Xiao Shu took the order, turned around and walked out.

Shen Jiaojiao paced back and forth anxiously, racking her brains to think about what else she had overlooked.

The map should be correct. This food box must be delivered to Mingzhu Courtyard because Miss Zhou must have arranged it in advance.

She guessed that Meng Wan might have seen this map a long time ago and misunderstood that the two were playing a 'treasure hunt game'.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Meng Wan still sent people to deliver the food boxes and carefully sent people to Fangyan Pavilion to look for clues.

But... Meng Wan didn't expect her to come back so soon and catch the three of them.

Ke Ying saw that her young lady glanced at the plaque above the courtyard door from time to time, and also looked over.

"It turns out that this is Fangyan Pavilion. I remember there is also Fangfei Pavilion in the outer courtyard." Keying said.

Shen Jiaojiao paused, her face showing ecstasy.

"Hao Keying, you are so smart!"

She hugged Keying hard and led everyone to the outer courtyard.

Fangfei Pavilion is in the outer courtyard, close to the back door.

If people are transported out of Fangfei Pavilion, they can almost remain unnoticed.

Is it possible that Miss Zhou is being held there?
The more Shen Jiaojiao thought about it, the more anxious she became, and her pace quickened a lot, and the group headed towards Fangfei Pavilion.

The servants and maids repeated their old tricks and surrounded Fangfei Pavilion.

"Miss, there is no one in the yard!"

"There's no one in the main room or the east wing either!"

"I didn't see it here either!"

Reports from the servants came from Fangfei Pavilion.

Shen Jiaojiao lowered her face and was about to walk in when a little maid ran out holding a blood-stained handkerchief.

"Miss, I found it in the yard!"

The handkerchief is of high quality, not something ordinary maids and mothers can use.

Looking at the blood stains on it, her heart suddenly lifted, and an ominous premonition emerged in her mind.

Could it be that Miss Zhou was secretly sent out of the house?
"Who's there?!" Aoxue scolded, pointing to the big tree not far away.

Without waiting for Shen Jiaojiao's instructions, a clever boy rushed forward, knocked down the sneaky man, and escorted him back.

"Miss, this is the boy from the Liu family. He was sent to guard the back door years ago." Keying whispered.

"Liu's family?" She frowned.

Liu Da is the cook in the big kitchen, and his whole family works in the Meng Mansion. If his son doesn't stay in the kitchen to help, why is he sent to guard the door?
and many more!

Shen Jiaojiao's pupils shrank suddenly, remembering something that she almost ignored.

Aoxue had previously found out that the big kitchen had sent Xiangke ingredients to her step-brother, but after she told her step-brother, she ignored him.

Now that I think about it, is there any connection between Miss Zhou's disappearance and the big kitchen?
