Divine Doctor Poison Concubine: Miss Waste

Chapter 574: Ghostly Shadow (4)
"You will know this from now on." Xia Qingge cast a nonchalant glance at Jing Ming, the latter's originally fair face was now completely blackened by Wushuang, who lacked any muscle.

Qiaolan also chuckled softly, "What a happy couple."

"Where is your enemy? Seeing that you are always running to Yunfu these days, how is Big Brother Jiang?" Xia Qingge said jokingly, and changed the subject to tease Qiaolan.

The latter was prone to shyness. Seeing Xia Qingge making fun of her sharply, his fair cheeks were completely covered by red, "What nonsense are you talking about, miss, I don't have any servants."

Several pairs of smiling eyes around her were staring at her closely, and Qiaolan didn't even dare to lift her head. Everyone's eyes turned around and they lowered their heads and ran quickly to their room.

"Hehe. I really can't stand a joke." Xia Qingge looked at her back and smiled heartily. At this moment, a few figures outside the door walked in, making her smile disappear instantly.

"Shuangshuang has met the eldest lady." Accompanied by two maidservants, Xia Shuangshuang walked in, and seeing Xia Qingge in the front courtyard, a look of joy flashed across her face.

"Why did the fourth sister suddenly come to my yard? Could it be that the guests outside have dispersed?"

"The guests haven't left yet, the second lady and the third lady are there to socialize, and the third lady and the fifth lady are accompanying the wives and ladies of those aristocratic families. Why does Shuangshuang stay there, but I haven't seen the eldest lady during the dinner, so that's why I came here. Come and see if you're worried."

"Since the fourth younger sister doesn't like that kind of complication, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea with me." Seeing her sincere expression, Xia Qingge didn't intend to lie, and she also showed her friendly side.

Xia Shuangshuang smiled and nodded.

"Wushuang, ask Qiaolan to make a pot of good tea for me and Fourth Miss, and bring some delicious snacks to my study, Fourth Younger Sister please!"

In the study

Qiaolan and Wushuang put the teacups and snacks on the table and left, Mujin closed the study door, and the three maids waited in the yard.

"Fourth sister must have something to do today, right?"

Seeing that there were only two people left in the room, Xia Shuangshuang admitted the purpose of coming here after a moment of silence, "Missy is usually busy, and Shuangshuang shouldn't be bothering Missy with this matter, but what happened yesterday still scares me." , After thinking about it, only you, Miss, can help me and my aunt in this mansion."

"It sounds like you're in a lot of trouble." She understands Xia Shuangshuang's temperament after getting along with her during this period of time. She hardly asks about the affairs of the mansion, and she won't be dissatisfied with anything. There must be something very important about falling in love with her.

"But it doesn't matter, as long as this matter is within my ability, I will definitely not stand idly by."

With Xia Qingge's assurance, Xia Shuangshuang's face also softened a little, "This matter can be traced back to a few months ago, that is, the night before the emperor's birthday banquet, the eldest lady sent Miss Ruier to me. One day I was chatting with Auntie Feng in Auntie Feng's room, but I helped Auntie Feng to rest on the bed when she felt sleepy. And there's a third person."

Speaking of this, Xia Shuangshuang's voice trembled slightly. It seemed that this incident had a great impact on her.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Xia Qingge and continued, "Actually, I just saw a black shadow flash by that day. After all, the light in the Nuan Pavilion was too dim at that time. Maybe it was because I was in a trance, but what kept me thinking about it was , A pair of footprints covered in mud appeared on the ground, and the length of the footprints was definitely not that of a woman. So that day I was sure that someone really broke into my aunt's house."

"Have you ever asked Aunt Feng before? But does she have any enemies?" Xia Qingge gradually frowned. If it was true as Xia Shuangshuang said, this matter would be really weird. Since she took charge of the Duke's Mansion, there have been ten secrets Er XingXiu and Twelve Immortals are guarding, they not only guard the Zixia Courtyard, but also guard the entire mansion's large and small courtyards on weekdays. If there is such an invisible person who appears in the mansion, they will not be alarmed at all. Seeing them, it shows that the martial arts of the man in black is definitely above them.

"My aunt has lived in the mansion for most of her life, and she rarely even went out of her own yard. I asked her once, and she said with certainty that she has never had any grudges with outsiders."

Xia Qingge Shunzi raised slightly, and there was a shrewd gleam in his eyes, "Since this matter happened several months ago, why did the fourth younger sister bring it up to me only today?"

Xia Shuangshuang sighed, "Although I encountered this strange thing that day, my aunt also persuaded me, and then I thought about it, what value can my aunt and I have been living in seclusion these years, and that person has never been seen since that day. It happened before, and I also think that person should be harmless to us, so I suppressed the matter, but yesterday, that person seemed to appear again."

"Did you see that?"

Xia Shuangshuang nodded hastily, "Yes. The same sensitive movements, the same black shadow, I can't see his face clearly, but I feel that he has been paying attention to us for a long time."

"Whose room did you see him?" Xia Qingge continued to ask curiously with a touch of interest.

"It's in my aunt's room. I stayed in my aunt's room last night. I was thirsty in the middle of the night and wanted to get up and drink a glass of water, but I saw that black shadow again by accident. This time he was closer to us. I dare not Looking at him, he didn't dare to move around, he could only lie there stiffly."

"He just stood there?"

Xia Shuangshuang's face was very pale when recalling what happened last night, so it can be seen that what happened last night really frightened her, but under such circumstances, she could still bear to pretend to be asleep, and as a woman, she had some courage. Xia Qingge's understanding of her has changed a bit.

"Well, this incident also made me very strange. It appeared twice in a row, but they didn't do anything. They just stood there and stared at us coldly. Miss, I'm not afraid of your jokes. What a ghost."

Xia Qingge saw that she was half-joking and half-serious, and couldn't help laughing, "It's really strange, if it's for money, you must take action, if it's for hatred, you must take your lives, but this person is standing still. It's obviously against common sense."

Xia Shuangshuang agreed with Xia Qingge's analysis very much, and nodded in response, "Missy's analysis is very correct, and I have an intuition that this person is going after Auntie."

Xia Qingge's eyes flashed suddenly, a possibility flashed across his mind, and then he pursed his lips and said, "Since this is the case, it is natural to start the investigation from Aunt Feng." She looked at Xia Shuangshuang seriously and said, "If you trust me, I will go to bed tonight. I will send a few people to protect you and Aunt Feng secretly, and what you have to do is to try to understand Aunt Feng's past and see if she has any special memories. I always think this person will be an old friend of hers .”
