Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 59
Liu Yuejiao looked at the two of them and asked, "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you help look around, is there any thief hiding in here?"

Su Wen smiled obediently and said: "Our yard is not big, where can we hide from anyone, Auntie, don't you think so?"

Liu Yuejiao said with a sneer: "That's not sure, no matter how small the yard is, it's still possible to hide someone. You should be careful, don't let anyone disturb the eldest lady!"

"That's natural, Auntie, please don't worry!" Su Wen said with a bow.

Liu Yuejiao ignored Su Wen, and continued to direct her people to search everywhere, alarming all the servants in Xie Wanqing's yard, complaining repeatedly.

After a while, many people gathered in the yard, and the scene was somewhat chaotic. The servants were whispering to each other from time to time, but none of them knew what happened.

Xie Wanqing was still lying stiffly on the bed, not looking sideways.But she was not at peace in her heart, she knew that Liu Yuejiao was here, and she might not be able to be kind today.

It's just that she didn't know what method Liu Yuejiao would use to deal with her.

Just thinking about it, I heard a creaking sound in the room...

Xie Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, her whole body froze, this damned Liu Yuejiao actually let mice in, listening to the sound, there were quite a few of them.

She is afraid of mice, this is something that everyone in Xie's house knows, so there have never been any mice in her yard, let alone let mice come into her boudoir.

"What's wrong with you?" Xuanyuan Jue asked, he obviously felt that Xie Wanqing's mood was not right, his body was stiff and trembling slightly.

"Someone released mice!" Xie Wanqing gritted her teeth. Her fear of mice had already dissipated. In the past ten years, she almost slept and ate with mice. How could she still feel afraid?

She just hated Liu Yuejiao's viciousness and meanness.

Xuanyuan Jue also heard the rat's voice, but didn't think it was a conspiracy, but after hearing what Xie Wanqing said, she understood.

Xie Wanqing sneered and said, "Someone knows that I'm afraid of mice, so they plan to let the mice force me to call someone in!"

As long as she yelled, people outside would break in, even those officers and soldiers who searched King Jing.

In the middle of the night, even if there was no one hiding in her room, if those men broke in and saw her disheveled clothes, her reputation would be lost.

Liu Yuejiao really knows how to calculate, but she doesn't know that she is no longer fascinated by mice.

But since Liu Yuejiao used this trick, if she didn't react a bit, it seemed that she would feel sorry for her hard work!

"My lord, wait a moment!" Xie Wanqing got dressed and went to bed. From the box on the dressing table, she found a small box containing high-quality rouge. She also took out a small porcelain bottle and added some rouge.

Then he knocked Rouge to the ground, and then shouted: "Su Wen, Lingshu, come in!"

Su Wen and Ling Shu heard the voice, and just about to go in, Liu Yuejiao called out: "Wan'er, what's the matter?"

Xie Wanqing said: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, let Suwen and Lingshu come in and give me a kick!"

Liu Yuejiao's eyes were full of doubts, it shouldn't be, didn't Mother Liu put the mouse in?Or did Xie Wanqing not notice that there were many mice in the house?

Su Wen and Ling Shu had already opened the door and entered, and they were stunned when they saw the mouse as soon as they entered.

Xie Wanqing stepped forward and said: "Don't make a sound!"

Su Wen and Lingshu hurriedly closed the door, and asked through the curtain: "Miss, these mice..."

"Don't worry, it will be fine in a while!" Xie Wanqing said calmly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the mice fell to the ground as if they were drunk.

When Su Wen saw it, he knew that the mouse had been poisoned.

"Miss, are you not afraid of mice?" Su Wen asked softly. In the past, when Xie Wanqing saw a mouse, it was like seeing a ghost.

Xie Wanqing shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid anymore!"

Su Wen and Lingshu were both a little puzzled and looked at each other, but Xie Wanqing didn't explain either. This kind of thing doesn't need to be explained.

Lingshu said: "Miss, it's good if you're not afraid, save yourself from picking up the villain and threatening you with this!"

Su Wen asked, "Miss, what are you going to do?"

"Pack these up and send them to Liuxu Pavilion, remember to put them in a good place!" Xie Wanqing said casually, as if asking them to send some snacks.

Su Wen showed a clear smile, and Lingshu quickly started to find the cloth bag to hold the dead mouse.

The two moved extremely quickly and skilfully, and cleaned up the rats in the room in a short while.

But at this moment there was another knock on the door, it was Liu Yuejiao.

"Miss, are you still asleep? Can I come in and talk?"

Xie Wanqing said: "Auntie, it's getting late, and I'm tired too, let's talk about what's going on tomorrow, if no one is found, please ask Auntie to let those officers and soldiers evacuate earlier!"

Liu Yuejiao's face turned cold outside, she always felt that something was wrong, obviously Liu's mother had put the mouse in, but Xie Wanqing didn't move at all.

Su Wen and Lingshu went in, but there was no movement, as if deliberately not making any noise, could there be something tricky inside?

Liu Yuejiao became suspicious, so she wanted to go in and find out.

But Xie Wanqing didn't let her in, and she couldn't force her way in, so she could only stand outside and worry.

Liu Yuejiao was at a loss, but Xie Chongguang walked in and asked, "How is it? What did you find?"

Liu Yuejiao rolled her eyes, revealing a look of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Xie Chongguang felt uncomfortable, and asked, "What? Is there really someone?"

Liu Yuejiao said in a low voice: "I didn't find anyone outside, but... there seems to be something wrong in Missy's room!"

"What's wrong?" Xie Chongguang asked with a frown, feeling very nervous. If an assassin really entered Xie Wanqing's house and was discovered, Xie Wanqing's reputation would be lost. Life is also in danger.

Liu Yuejiao hesitated for a while, and then she seemed to have no choice but to say: "I just heard people say that there seems to be a stranger's voice in Missy's room!"

Xie Chongguang frowned and asked, "Is this true?"

"This... I can't be sure. After all, I didn't hear it. It was said by the servants. Maybe the servants heard it wrong!" Liu Yuejiao said.

But these words happened to be heard clearly by Lu Xiao who was standing outside.

Lu Xiao immediately walked in and asked, "Is there someone inside?"

"This..." Xie Chongguang immediately showed a troubled expression, and secretly glared at Liu Yuejiao, blaming her for speaking too loudly and attracting Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao put on a straight face and said: "Mr. Xie, please don't embarrass me. If there is an assassin in Ling Qianjin's house, it will also be a threat to Ling Qianjin. Please thank you for your convenience, let me go in and search!"

Xie Chongguang frowned and said, "It seems a bit inappropriate for you to enter my daughter's room in the middle of the night?"

"Then let the eldest lady come out and talk!" Lu Xiao deliberately amplified his voice.

Xie Wanqing heard it from inside, and knew that she couldn't escape, but once she left the room, those people would definitely come in and search.

This room is so big, where is Xuanyuan Jue going to hide?

Xie Wanqing thought for a while, and said: "Lingshu, Su Wen, you go out first and tell father, after I change clothes, I will go out to meet Mr. Lu!"

Su Wen and Lingshu nodded, and after hiding the cloth bag in their hands, they went out.

Seeing that the two of them had gone out, Xie Wanqing was about to turn her head to talk to Xuanyuan Jue, but Xuanyuan Jue said, "You go, don't worry about me!"

Xie Wanqing pursed her lips, thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, my lord cherishes it!"

After saying that, he got up, put on his coat properly, and went out.

Xie Wanqing went out, saw Xie Chongguang and Liu Yuejiao, bowed slightly, and said, "Father, which adult wants me to speak?"

When Lu Xiao saw Xie Wanqing, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he cupped his hands and said, "Miss Xie, it's time to be polite!"

Xie Wanqing sneered, and said, "Lord Lu is such a spoiled little girl, how can I deserve your gift!"

Lu Xiao knew that Xie Wanqing had annoyed him, and he was very worried. After all, Xie Wanqing would be the mistress of the Eastern Palace in the future, and she would also be his mistress, so she should not be offended.

But now that the crown prince ordered a strict investigation, there is nothing he can do!
Lu Xiao bit the bullet and apologized: "Miss Xie's words are serious, the officials have their own lives, and I can't help myself, I hope you will forgive me!"

"You searched my yard in the middle of the night, but also searched my boudoir. I would like to ask His Royal Highness if you want to catch an assassin or treat me as an assassin? Or is Mr. Lu suspicious of Miss Ben? Interested in harboring assassins?"

Xie Wanqing's aura was intimidating, she wouldn't give in at all, and her eyes were so clear that no one dared to look directly at her.

Lu Xiao only felt that it was difficult to catch his breath, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and said: "I don't dare!"

Seeing this, Liu Yuejiao secretly blamed Lu Xiao for being useless, she was frightened by Xie Wanqing's few words, just now she kept saying to Xie Chongguang that she wanted to search, but now she just bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

If things continued like this, Lu Xiao would definitely leave without searching, how would she know that there was something tricky in Xie Wanqing's room?

Liu Yuejiao said: "Miss, Mr. Lu is also following orders, so don't blame him too much!"

Xie Chongguang also said: "Wan Er, don't be rude!"

Then he said to Lu Xiao: "Lord Lu, my little girl has no shape, I hope Master Lu will forgive you!"

Lu Xiao didn't dare to say anything, he just said: "Don't dare, it's the fault of the lower officials for disturbing Miss Xie's bed in the middle of the night!"

Xie Wanqing said calmly: "Master Lu, do you still want to go in and search? If you can't find anything, I will go to the prince tomorrow to ask for an explanation, and ask the prince if he ordered you to search me. boudoir?"

When Lu Xiao heard this, his heart skipped a beat, how could this happen?If the crown prince found out that they forcibly searched Xie Wanqing's boudoir but found nothing, then the crown prince would have to kill him?

This is the boudoir of the future princess, how can they break into it?Doesn't this embarrass the prince?
No matter how courageous Lu Xiao was, he would not dare to do such a thing, so he immediately said: "Since Miss Xie has guaranteed that there are no assassins inside, of course I don't need to search again!"

Xie Wanqing smiled and said: "Lord Lu, don't stop searching just because of my two words, and you won't be able to turn to the prince later, don't rely on me!"

"Don't dare, the assassin must have gone somewhere else, I still have official business, so I won't bother Mrs. Xie and Miss, let me take my leave!" Lu Xiao cupped his hands, wishing he could leave immediately.
