Sure enough, just as she was taking a breather, Wang Mengjiao came again and said generously, "I left something behind. Come back and see if I left it here?"
She lowered her head and looked for it. "It turns out that here," there was a ring in her hand. She didn't know when she dropped it.
"It'll be good if you find it." Xu Ruoshui watched her pretending and waited for her to ask him about what happened before.
"Young mistress, if you say that Madam is fine, I won't believe it. Look at the two young men who are scared to death. It must be something big." Wang Mengjiao said bluntly that she regarded Xu Ruoshui as one of her own, "
Madam, you might as well reveal a little bit."
"Aunt Wang, you are too worried. It's really okay. You can go back for the time being and don't make things difficult for me." Xu Ruoshui felt embarrassed, "Dad and the Second Young Master went to investigate this matter. It seems that it will take some time. Aunt Wang has
You might as well pay more attention to the second young master’s preferences so that you can know whether he likes ancient paintings or antiques.”
Wang Mengjiao thought about it and realized that what she said made sense, "It was the eldest mistress who reminded me."
"Go quickly," Xu Ruoshui said with a smile. Wang Mengjiao already understood what he meant. He was going to touch Meng Tianqi's bottom line, and he happened to know her status in his mind.
She watched Wang Mengjiao leave happily.
Mrs. Meng also finished her breakfast, and because she looked quite tired, Xu Ruoshui suggested to wait for her to rest, but Mrs. Meng just leaned on the wide couch, without even closing her eyes, and kept her ears open to pay attention to what was going on outside.
"Late Qiu, go and see if your father and the others are back?"
"Late Qiu, your father and the others haven't come back yet?"
"Late autumn...."
Mrs. Meng kept asking Xu Ruoshui to go out and take a look. As soon as there was the slightest movement outside, she would get up and ask. She had made seven or eight trips this morning.
Xu was nervous, Mrs. Meng kept sweating, and Xu Ruoshui even went to the clean room many times.
"Why is it so hot? It's late autumn. Please open the window for some fresh air." Mrs. Meng started fussing again. Xu Ruoshui was as busy as spinning a top. When she opened the window, she saw Meng Tianqi running in in a hurry.
This was much faster than he thought. When Xu Ruoshui saw Meng Tianqi, he knelt down and said impatiently, "Sister-in-law, please go down first. I have something to talk to mother."
Xu Ruoshui walked towards Mrs. Meng Yingying and went out without saying much. However, Meng Tianqi's arrival was a bit strange. Xu Ruoshui was full of suspicion. After leaving the door, he secretly took a detour and walked to the window of the Nuan Pavilion. He didn't expect that the window was opened properly.
It's time to hear the sounds inside clearly.
Meng Tianqi didn't know what kind of demon he was possessed by, so he said to his biological mother with a dark face, "Mom, my son needs an explanation." Mrs. Meng was stunned by the meaningless words.
"Qi'er, where do you start talking about this? My mother doesn't understand."
"Bang," Meng Tianqi threw something on the table. Mrs. Meng leaned on the wide couch and couldn't see the object clearly. She only felt that the thing on it was very dazzling.
"What is this?"
"Mom, you won't completely forget this thing, will you?"
"Qi'er, you came here to question my mother like a denouncement of guilt. You have to have something to say. You treat me like this. My mother is heartbroken." Mrs. Meng's face became even worse.
Meng Tianqi picked up the object on the table and threw it towards Mrs. Meng, "Mom, please take a good look. You must recognize this thing."
Mrs. Meng held up the object. It was a silver bracelet studded with red, yellow, and blue emeralds. Although the style was exquisite, it was dull and dull, as if it had just been dug out somewhere. "This...it does look like it."
Looks familiar..." She tried to remember, but she really couldn't remember.
"Does it just look familiar, mother?" Meng Tianqi's face was always tense.
Mrs. Meng shook her head, squinted her eyes and looked at the bracelet again, "Mom, do you still remember Bai Meilan?" Meng Tianqi's voice was like a sharp sword that penetrated the hearts of the two people inside and outside the house.
Xu Ruoshui was so shocked that he remained motionless and continued to squat under the window and listen carefully.
"Ah~~~" Mrs. Meng threw the bracelet out as if she had seen a ghost. It hit the wall and made a buzzing sound. Finally, it fell to the ground crisply. "You said this is Bai Meilan's thing."
?”
"What? Mom, do you remember it, or can't you believe it?" Meng Tianqi suppressed the pain in his heart, "Do you know where you got this? Just now, this bracelet... he picked it up
He stood up and stroked it twice like a treasure, "She put it on the hand bones of the corpse."
This sentence made Xu Ruoshui unable to calm down. He accidentally stepped on a dead tree and made a "Gah" sound.
"Who is there?" Meng Tianqi looked out the window alertly, but it was empty with no one in sight.
Xu Ruoshui was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. Just now, she ran towards the backyard in three steps and two steps. Because she didn't see clearly, she stepped on a foot in the ditch, and suddenly her whole body was filled with stench. But because of this fall, she escaped Meng Tianqi's attack.
Eye.
What a risk. Xu Ruoshui was so careless as she patted her rising and falling chest. If she had stayed longer and could have heard more, the relationship between Bai Meilan and Meng Tianqi was really extraordinary.
There was no other way out of Chunhui Courtyard, so Xu Ruoshui had no choice but to go around the other side. Baolan and Baozhu in the flower hall were curious when they saw her like this, but they just took a look and didn't ask any questions.
Coincidentally, on the way back, I met Yan'er and asked, "Madam, the young master is looking for you in a hurry." Seeing Xu Ruoshui's dirty look, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I fell down. Go and prepare some hot water for me. I'll take a shower first." Xu Ruoshui found it hard to talk to Meng Tianbo in this state, so he took the opportunity to calm down.
Avoiding Meng Tianbo who was on the big kang, Xu Ruoshui quietly went to the clean room, peeled off the muddy clothes, and then realized that even the inner clothes were dirty, "It's really unlucky. It's rare to eavesdrop and almost be discovered. Meng.
What is the relationship between Tianqi and Bai Meilan? Why was my mother so panicked when she saw that bracelet? Whose skeleton does it belong to?"
Xu Ruoshui's soliloquy aroused the surprise of Yan'er who had just come in, "Madam, what are you muttering about? You should take a bath first. It's not too late to talk about anything you have to do after you feel refreshed. When the time comes, my servant will come out for you."
idea."
"Forget it, just help me guard outside and don't let the young master come in." Xu Ruoshui glanced outside and ordered, "Keep a good watch on me, or I'll punish you."
"Yes, yes, the eldest mistress is shy, I will keep you under guard." Yan'er couldn't help but tease Xu Ruoshui when she saw her good words.
Someone held the door, Xu Ruoshui felt much more at ease, and relaxed his vigilance. He slipped into the soft warm water, turned his back to the screen, and talked to Zi Yan, "Yan'er, tell me, why would a man be so interested in a bracelet that he would not hesitate to do so?"
