Lee Miaoyin was so shocked by Xiaotao's sudden voice that she flung the handkerchief in her hand away. Coincidentally, a gust of cold wind blew past the window and swept the handkerchief with a modern note embroidered on it away, landing it outside the bamboo fence courtyard.
"Damn Xiaotao, are you trying to scare me to death?" Lee Miaoyin glared rebukingly at Xiaotao before turning her face away in a flurry. She didn't want Xiaotao to see the redness on her face.
"Miss, what are you panicking for? No matter how much I scared you before, you didn't react. Is there something on your mind? " Xiaotao mischievously stared at the back of Lee Miaoyin's head. The corner of her mouth was twisted into a smile, filled with genuine joy.
Lee Miaoyin picked up the book on the side and pretended to read. She said without turning her head, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why aren't you going to retrieve my handkerchief?"
Xiaotao covered her mouth and chuckled. "Yes, yes, yes. I'm just spouting nonsense. Miss, since when did you like to read books on your hands and knees?"
Only then did Lee Miaoyin realize that the book in her hands was actually upside down. Immediately, his face became even redder as if it was dripping blood.
Xiaotao searched outside the yard for a while, but didn't see even the shadow of the handkerchief. The wind was not that strong.
Miss's handkerchief could not be casually picked up by others. Who knows what might happen to her. Xiaotao thought to herself as she expanded her search range to search for a place she could go, but there was still no trace of her.
"He's gone?" Many people in the Palace knew that she had an awkward position in the Palace and had also offended Yang Suyun and his mother. Furthermore, Lee Chengji had also offended her, so offending Lee Chengji was equivalent to offending Madame Xu and the old lady. She could be said to be the common enemy of Lee Mansion.
If the handkerchief were in the hands of the one who wished to harm her, perhaps some unpleasant words would come out of it.
"Xiaotao, go and get the food now. Tell everyone that I lost the handkerchief and get them to help me look for it. Say that the handkerchief was something my mother left behind."
Hearing this, Xiaotao immediately beamed with joy, "Miss, your move is really powerful. This way, the person who picked up the handkerchief will not be able to make a big deal of it, unless he or she can bribe everyone in the mansion to frame you in public."
Lee Miaoyin shrugged her shoulders. That wasn't impossible, but it was impossible to do it flawlessly. One had to know that one couldn't keep secrets the most.
Dinner at the Lee Mansion …
In order to please Qi Hongxuan, Lee Chengji ordered someone to prepare a table of food that was comparable to an official feast. He even invited a chef from the Drunken Immortal Inn to come over and take a bite.
One had to know that he was only Assistant Prefectural Magistrate of the First Prefecture. His term of office was not long, and he did not have much money nor salary. At this table, he would have to spend an entire year's worth of official salary.
In order to show how much they valued Qi Hongxuan, even the old lady, who rarely appeared, came personally to accompany them. When the old lady and Lee Chengji had just sat down at the seat of honor, Qi Hongxuan asked with a gentle smile, "Why are you not seeing Second Miss?"
This question seemed very ordinary to Qi Hongxuan. However, to Lee Chengji, it sounded very surprised. He blurted out, "Young Master Qi knows her?"
Qi Hongxuan carried a teacup to his side, took a sip, and said with a smile, "A classmate of mine from the academy naturally knows her. Besides, Second Miss's medical skills are impressive, and she saved my mother. She's the savior of the Qi Residence. Did Lord Li forget?"
