Chapter 12 Finding Wildcats

Zi'an heard her footsteps fading away, and immediately opened the door of the hut. Fortunately, the yard was sparsely populated with flowers and trees, and the big men at the main entrance did not see her.

She tiptoed to the edge of the wall, leaped over the wall, and then landed swiftly. Although she didn't recover her vitality, fortunately she didn't lose her skills.

She quickly ran to Xiazhi Garden, because Prime Minister Xia, Mrs. Linglong and others were all in the old lady's house today, so the servants naturally all went there to join them, running all the way, but did not see anyone.

When they ran to the lake, they saw Aunt Cui leading three people towards Xiazhi Garden, and the housekeeper Xia Quan followed behind.

Zian groaned inwardly, these three people were holding fabric and satin in their hands, they should be the shopkeeper and tailor of the silk shop.

These three are outsiders, if they see something in Xiazhiyuan, they will definitely spread it to the outside world.

It's really vicious!

Zian took the path, and they went back to Xiazhi Garden first.

There were a few servants standing at the main entrance of Xia Zhi Yuan, and Shu Yu was also standing and talking to them, with a very furtive look on his face.

Zian went around in a circle and climbed over the wall to enter from behind, and walked quickly to his mother's room.

When the door was pushed open, she saw her mother lying on the same bed with a strange man. Both of them were disheveled and unconscious.

Zian looked at the man, and a name popped into his mind, Chen Er.

Thinking that this Chen Er used to come to the mansion often, the original owner had seen him several times, so he recognized him.

Zi'an didn't have time to think about it, he dragged Chen Er up, quickly dragged him out of the door, and hid in the hut.

There are people guarding the gate, so they must not be able to get out, I just hope they don't look for the hut.

Chen Er curled up in the hut like a dead pig, the back of his head was swollen and tall, he must have been knocked out.

Zi'an kicked him in the chest, and then tapped his temple with the soul-destroying ring. Chen Er woke up slowly. When he saw Zi'an, he was startled and was about to ask a question. "You'd better shut up. You were beaten unconscious and put on my mother's bed. Now someone is coming to arrest you. If you are caught, you have to weigh the consequences."

Chen Er turned pale with fright, "How could this happen?"

"You are here, don't make a sound, I will deal with it!" Zian finished speaking, closed the hut, and went out.

She had to wake up Chen Er, because he was knocked unconscious, and no one knew how long he was unconscious. If he woke up and made noises during the search, he would be dead.

Now that people are sober, even if they are found by others, they are psychologically prepared. It can be said that they come here to go to a latrine, at least they can evade it,

She ran back to the room quickly, and before anyone entered the room, she heard footsteps.

She quickly closed the door, then took out the needle from her sleeve pocket, and injected it into Mrs. Xia's body.

Mrs. Xia coughed and woke up from choking. Seeing Zian looking at her anxiously, she couldn't help asking, "I fell asleep?"

Zi'an hissed, "No, you were unconscious, they threw Chen Er on your bed, and now Cuiyu is bringing people over to arrest you and Chen Er on the spot, I have already thrown Chen Er into the hut .”

"What?" Mrs. Xia was shocked.

"Don't panic, it's nothing, as long as you don't catch it on the spot, it's fine, mother, get up quickly and continue your embroidery." Zian pulled her up.

The sound of footsteps had already reached outside, and then, Shuyu's exclamation was heard, "Aunt Cuiyu is here? What's the matter? Our wife has fallen asleep."

"How long have you just woken up? Just fell asleep again? The old lady told me to bring a tailor over to make some clothes for the lady, saying that it was on the old lady's birthday." Cuiyu said.

Shuyu seemed a little embarrassed, "But Madam just fell asleep, why don't Aunt Cuiyu come back later?"

Cuiyu scolded angrily: "Why did you come here after a while? This is the old lady's order, open the door immediately, the lady just fell asleep, she must not be asleep yet."

Shuyu knelt down on the ground and said in a crying voice, "It's really not possible now, Aunt Cuiyu should go back first."

Zi'an opened the window to see that Shuyu was blocking Aunt Cuiyu, and Aunt Cuiyu had a sullen expression on her face.

On the contrary, the owner of the silk and satin shop said: "If Madam has fallen asleep, why don't you come back later."

Cuiyu said: "Since you're here, let's get a body first, lest shopkeeper Zhou run away again."

She said sharply to Shuyu: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you open the door quickly? This is the old lady's order."

Shuyu stood up with a helpless look, retreated submissively, but diddged furtively as if she dared not open the door easily.

Zian smiled indifferently, stepped forward to open the door, and walked out with a smile, "Why is Aunt Cuiyu here?"

Aunt Cuiyu was stunned for a moment, "Isn't the eldest lady at the old lady's side? Why are you back?"

When she spoke, her face froze for a moment. Isn't this the same as telling Xia Zian that there is something wrong?

Zi Qiang couldn't hear it, and said: "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I came back to get some medicine oil, no, I'm going to pass again soon."

She raised her eyes to look at the three people, and asked, "Who are they?"

Shopkeeper Zhou of the silk and satin village came forward to salute, "The villain is from the silk and satin village, and I have met the eldest lady."

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop. Did you make new clothes for mother?" Zi'an bowed with a smile, "Come in quickly, mother is inside."

Aunt Cuiyu gave Shuyu a hard look, Shuyu was stunned, she didn't see the eldest lady come back, she was always at the door.

She stood up, walked in front of Aunt Cuiyu, and whispered in her ear: "I haven't seen the eldest lady come back, and besides, no one has gone out of the house, that person must still be there."

Aunt Cuiyu nodded slightly, and led the people in. Mrs. Xia was sitting at the table embroidering. Although Zian woke her up, the effect of the ecstasy was still working, and her mind was extremely drowsy.

"Ma'am!" Aunt Cuiyu stepped forward to salute, looked around, but found no one, but something seemed to be shaking behind the screen.

Xia Quan also came in, and Aunt Cuiyu said to Xia Quan: "Is there a stray cat behind the screen? You go and see, you seem to have heard a cat meowing just now, don't scare Madam."

Xia Quan responded: "Okay, I'll go over and have a look."

Mrs. Xia stood up abruptly and stopped Xia Quan, "There are no stray cats."

Xia Quan laughed and said, "Madam doesn't know, many wild cats have come to the mansion recently, it's scary."

Mrs. Xia stared at him fiercely, "There are no stray cats in my house, there are some things hanging behind the screen, you can't see them."

Aunt Cuiyu said: "It's something from my daughter's house. I'm going to check it out. Those wild cats have sharp claws. It's not good to frighten Madam."

As he spoke, he walked over quickly, and there was no one behind the screen, only a pair of pajamas and a bellyband were hanging on, it was really not suitable for men to come in and see.

She secretly wondered, and glanced at Shuyu again, Shuyu also had a dazed face, she hadn't been out since she was sent in, and the madam was clearly infatuated with the fragrance, why did she wake up?

"There are no stray cats." Aunt Cuiyu forced a smile on her face, "Madam, the old lady ordered the servants to bring a tailor to come over to measure for the lady. The lady may not have made new clothes for a long time, so it is time to make some clothes for the old lady's birthday party."
