The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

In Hibiscus Courtyard, two maids, Wanfang and Wanxiang, were guarding outside the door. They felt panicky when they heard the sound of tea sets being broken in the room.

After the lady summoned Mother Lin and the servant, she was still unable to get to the bottom of the matter.

The two of them had no idea of ​​the lady's intentions. They only saw her driving away the servants in the yard like crazy, and after getting angry at the two of them for a long time, she locked herself in and did not allow anyone to enter.

"Madam, it's almost time for dinner..." Wanxiang tried to knock on the door lightly.

Then, a teacup came flying through the door, but was blocked by the diamond-shaped door and window, and shattered on the ground with a "bang".

"Get out! Don't bother me!" Mrs. Xiao's annoyed rebuke followed.

Wanxiang was frightened by the noise so close to her that she took a few steps back. Her back foot missed a step and she almost fell off the stone steps. Fortunately, Wanfang was quick to help her stand.

The two maids were close attendants and had never been expelled like this before.

Mrs. Xiao's repeated actions inevitably made the maids who supported each other more worried.

The two of them were clearly doing their job obediently, but Madam Xiao found an inexplicable reason to vent her anger on them. Even a clay figure has a temper.

What's more, they were both well-known maids in the mansion. Normally, when the servants in the mansion saw them, they would all smile and be polite.

Could it be...

The news that the eldest young master's condition had improved and that he had taken over the audit spread quickly. The maids and servants were the most informed, so naturally they heard about it.

The two looked at each other and thought of a possibility.

After all, they still know some things...

Could it be that Madam, in order to cover up her mouth and find someone to blame, sent away those who knew something about the inside story?

After all, even Mother Lin was held accountable by Mrs. Xiao.

Outside the door, two maids were considering their own future in uncertainty.

Inside the room, Madam Xiao fell down and sat down in front of the bed, looking at the mess she had made, her temples throbbing with pain.

She is really a little confused now.

Except for himself, the servants around him didn't even remember that the sick boy had come to get married!

She didn't believe that she would remember it wrong. The Taoist temple, the lame old Taoist priest, and the communication planning, these were all done by her personally. Others might have forgotten, but how could she forget?

If the wedding had never happened, how could we explain the correspondence with the Taoist priest and the farmers who were sent to check.

If my memory is correct, then the fault lies with the people around me.

Could it be that... all the people around her were bribed?

This... How is it possible? Just for Mother Lin, it's impossible, impossible...

But how to explain...

Did the sickly girl know? How much did she know? Master Xiao must have known too... Was this a plot by the father and son to plot against her...

What did they want to do? To force her to lose her composure? To force her to surrender in a hurry?

Do you want her to confess voluntarily after being frightened so that she can be detained by the police?

What is she going to do now?

Isolated and helpless, surrounded by traitors!

What to do...

Madam Xiao lowered her head, and her red-dyed nails kept scratching at her neatly combed bun, making her hair into messy knots. The red hairpin and step-shaking ornaments slid down her hair and hung tremblingly on her shoulders.

After wandering around in her thoughts for a long time, Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath, used the power of that breath to prop herself up, and sat in front of the dressing mirror to tidy up her messy hair.

Use a comb to untangle the tangled hair, and put on the hairpins and silk flowers again.

Madam Xiao looked at herself in the bronze mirror in the dim light and warned herself.

The cause of this matter has not yet been ascertained, so don't panic!

After a while, Mrs. Xiao tidied her clothes and opened the door.

She needs to go to Qingxiyuan tonight to find out what’s going on!

The maid guarding the door left and stood up, calling "Madam"

"Come with me to Qingxi Courtyard and ask a servant to clean the room." Mrs. Xiao resumed her proper manners and instructed the maid in a graceful manner.

"Yes." The two maids hurriedly called the servants to clean up. After they quickly dealt with it, one of them held a lantern and the other supported Madam Xiao as they walked out of the yard.

The sky darkened, and in the gray-blue environment, the lantern held by the maid illuminated the bluestone paved road.

After passing through a winding corridor and crossing a man-made bridge and flowing water, you will arrive at Qingxi Courtyard.

When Madam Xiao came, it was naturally impossible for her to just barge in. She called a servant to pass on the message, but she did not wait for the servant to come back and led the maid in directly.

She walked quickly, and by then Xiao Yu had just arrived at the door of the study. The mother and son, who seemed to be at odds with each other, exchanged pleasantries through the door frame.

"Mother, please come in"

Xiao Yu pushed aside and made room for Mrs. Xiao to come in.

"Although the master has entrusted the accounting matters to you, I am new to this. Let me see if you have any questions so that I can help you sort them out."

Mrs. Xiao smiled and found an excuse to talk, but her eyes kept looking around the study where Xiao Yu had been all year round, trying to find a clue from it.

If there had been someone here before, there would have been some traces left.

"Thank you mother for your concern, father taught me well, and the managers kept the accounts in a clear and organized manner."

"That's good. Yu'er is smart. Look at me. I should be more relaxed, but I can't help but come and take a look." Mrs. Xiao shook her head and laughed at herself. She carefully observed three or four times, but did not find any trace of the woman.

But if Xiao Yu had known that something was wrong and sent the peasant girl away in advance, who knows...

On the way here, she had carefully considered that since Mr. Xiao was ill, when he met Xiao Yu, she was the only one present...

There were people of hers in the yard, so if there really was something, they would not be completely unnoticed.

If it was really Xiao Yu who secretly reported it, considering the reputation she has maintained over the years, Master Xiao would have hesitated for a moment.

If the father and son teamed up to use this incident to deceive her, it would not be easy to bribe the servants in the Xiao Mansion to speak with one voice.

Besides, she was the housekeeper at the time, so she would definitely notice something...

"By the way, has Yu'er been taking medicine on time recently? Although the symptoms are not serious now, we can't be careless." Mrs. Xiao pulled her thoughts back and asked tentatively.

Xiao Yu paused, and nodded with a smile that didn't reach the bottom of his eyes: "...Of course, my mother instructed me, how dare Xiao Yu disobey?"

Their eyes met, and in that instant, Mrs. Xiao knew that Xiao Yu already knew about her plot.

Upon learning this, she was relieved instead, as if she had finally guessed the reason, and she calmed down.

"That's great." Mrs. Xiao smiled with her lips curved even more sharply.

Now she felt more at ease. After all, the hostility between them was clear to each other. She was not a fool and naturally knew Xiao Yu's intention to intimidate her.

It's just that there is no definite evidence, and I want her to reveal it herself.
