The doubts in Chen Shaoxuan's eyes deepened. He squinted suspiciously, looked at Qingtao, and asked calmly: "Are you sure she gave this to you personally?"
"Back to you, sir, the young lady gave it to me personally." Qing Tao replied respectfully with a low eyebrow.
"Did you meet anyone on the way here?" Chen Shaoxuan still didn't believe that this letter was written by Leng Changxi, and even suspected that the note had been dropped on the way.
"No." Qing Tao shook her head.
Seeing that Qing Tao was so sure, Chen Shaoxuan became even more suspicious of her, so he asked tentatively: "When did the alert of Prince Xi's Mansion become so low? No search was done when he went out?"
When Qingtao heard what Chen Shaoxuan said, he immediately took out a stack of paper from his sleeve pocket and presented it: "There will be a search, but the lady gave these paintings to me in advance and asked me to show this when I search. Because Qingtao these few times
They only delivered paintings when they left the house, so those who searched them just browsed through them briefly and then let them go."
Chen Shaoxuan took the paper from Qing Tao's hand and unfolded it. As expected, it was a simple children's painting that only Leng Changxi could draw. Therefore, his guard against Qing Tao was much lowered, but he still couldn't completely believe it.
So, he handed the note to Lingshan: "Lingshan, take a closer look to see if it is Xiao Baoer's handwriting."
Lingshan took the note, studied it carefully for a long time, and said without certainty: "It looks like the lady's handwriting, but the lady doesn't write often, so I can't be sure if it is."
When Chen Shaoxuan heard what she said, he frowned and looked at Qingtao again: "You go to the front hall and wait, and you can help me bring my things back later."
When Qingtao heard that he asked her to bring something, she was stunned for a moment, because so many times, Chen Shaoxuan had never asked her to bring anything to Leng Changxi. However, she was stunned for only a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Just as Qingtao turned around and was about to go out, Chen Shaoxuan's voice slowly came from behind: "Are you sure that no one has seen this note again?"
This is something Chen Shaoxuan must confirm.
Qingtao nodded. He then said: "Including you?"
Qing Tao flinched. Although she didn't understand anything, she still heard the suspicion and danger in Chen Shaoxuan's words, and immediately defended: "Young master, I don't know a single big character. Even if I show it to you, I won't be able to read it."
You know what it is!”
Hearing that she was illiterate, Chen Shaoxuan felt relieved and waved his hand for her to leave first.
After Qingtao walked away, Lingfeng slowly spoke: "Mr. Chen, do you think this note was really written by her?"
Even Lingfeng couldn't resist his suspicion when he saw the note.
Chen Shaoxuan unfolded the note again and saw two words written simply on the note - arsenic.
"Lingfeng, why do you think Xiao Bao'er didn't draw but wrote instead of painting this time?" In fact, this was what made Chen Shaoxuan suspicious the most.
"Maybe this thing is more difficult to draw." Lingfeng also had doubts in his heart, but after looking at the note and thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was the only reason that was more appropriate.
"I'm afraid it's a trap." Chen Shaoxuan's eyes were solemn: "Lingfeng, what do you think Xiao Bao'er wants arsenic for?"
According to the meaning of the note, it really means asking them for arsenic. Arsenic is something that everyone knows, is suitable for both women and children, is shared by humans and animals, and is fatal if it touches it. If it is used as medicine, it is too far-fetched. Besides, it is too far-fetched.
There is no medicine that can be obtained through such a shady method. Therefore, there is only one possibility that can be thought of, and that is that Leng Changxi is going to do something big, and it is probably something stupid and stupid.
Lingfeng and Chen Shaoxuan exchanged glances, and they had a clear understanding.
Then, Lingfeng asked: "Mr. Chen, what should we do?"
"I don't know, let's take a look at these paintings of Xiao Bao'er first." As he said that, Chen Shaoxuan handed the paintings of imbecile children to Lingshan's hands. Lingshan opened the paintings, looked at them carefully, and explained with a frown.
: "The paintings are all messy and don't seem to have any specific meaning, except for this one."
Lingshan pointed to one of them and said, "Look at this one. It looks like a piece of paper. There is a person next to it, holding something in his hand. This means telling us to do it."
After Lingshan explained this, Lingfeng and Chen Shaoxuan's hearts suddenly became heavier.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think we should do? Should we do as you are told or..." Lingshan bit her lower lip and asked softly, although she understood that Leng Changxi's character has always been unconventional and often used out-of-the-box thinking.
He does things in a certain way, and often achieves amazing results. Not only the results are amazing, but also the process is also amazing - it is heart-stopping. But even though it is amazing, it is never as cruel as this time. It is really not like her young lady.
style. However, it was confirmed that the painting was written by Leng Changxi. Suddenly, Lingshan was also caught in a contradiction.
Chen Shaoxuan paced back and forth in the room, frowning, not only guessing what Leng Changxi meant, but also thinking about a solution.
If he didn't give her the thing, would it delay her business? But if he gave her the thing, what if something happened? It wasn't that he didn't trust Leng Changxi, but that he didn't dare to use her easily.
bet.
Finally, he made up his mind, put the note back into his sleeve, pulled Lingfeng over, and whispered a few words in his ear. Lingfeng looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Well, follow this method first, and then think of a way as soon as possible in the next two days. We must enter the house and meet her. I must hear her reasons with my own ears before I can rest assured!" Chen Shaoxuan nodded firmly.
"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Lingfeng looked at him deeply, turned and left.
In just one stick of incense, Lingfeng quickly returned to Chen's Jiaozi Shop. When he came to the study, he looked around to make sure no one was following him, then closed the door and came to Chen Shaoxuan.
Lingfeng took out a small package of things from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Shaoxuan: "I bought the things. But are you sure you want to do this?"
"This is the only thing we can do now." Chen Shaoxuan firmly picked up the small package, opened it and looked at it. It was all white noodles. He nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Lingshan to call Qingtao into the house.
"What are your orders, Master?" Qing Tao lowered her head respectfully in front of Chen Shaoxuan.
"Give this thing to Leng Changxi." Chen Shaoxuan handed the small package to Qingtao without explaining much.
Although Qingtao was a little curious, she didn't ask any more questions. She just carefully picked up the things and hid them in the crevices of her sleeves: "Master, is this the only thing?"
"Yes, that's the only one." Chen Shaoxuan nodded and signaled Qingtao to leave.
Qingtao left the Chenjiajiaozi shop respectfully. In order to avoid being noticed, she walked around the market again and bought some things that women liked, and then returned to Prince Xi's Mansion.
After successfully passing the inspection, she returned to the west wing. When she saw Leng Changxi, she whispered: "Miss, Mr. Chen brought you a note and something."
