Chapter 984 The truth will be revealed tonight
Time goes back to half an hour ago.
After Xiao Qiao was slapped by Zhou Yu in front of the whole family, she returned to her side room and never left the door again.
Originally, Xiao Qiao had a role in serving tea and water for Zhou Yu at the reception banquet at home today, but after such a fuss, Xiao Qiao's not showing up was considered acquiesced by everyone.
Not many people cared about the feelings of Xiao Qiao, a woman who had previously disobeyed family orders and left the Zhou Mansion without authorization.
But in other words, because of this incident, no one paid attention to Xiao Qiao, and what Xiao Qiao did became extremely secretive.
——
Xiao Qiao, who stayed in the boudoir, did not cry.
She just calmly wiped her red and swollen cheeks with a cloth soaked in cold water.
With such a beautiful appearance, although Xiao Qiao is no longer the cardamom girl she once was, there are not many women in Jiangdong who can be more beautiful than her.
What is in sharp contrast is naturally the attitude of everyone in the Zhou family towards her.
No one can tell what kind of sins Xiao Qiao committed that caused the group of people who were supposed to be closest to her to speak violently and harshly to her.
At least... Xiao Qiao no longer wants to deal with these heartbreaking things.
"Sister Shangxiang...how are you now?"
Sitting gently on the edge of the bed, Xiao Qiao's eyes were dim. Her thoughts had drifted far away since two days ago.
She was worried about her sister Shang Xiang, who was still unaccompanied. As a sister, she felt extremely guilty because she couldn't help.
What a good woman - Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, both of them are in dire straits, but they still miss the young Sun Shangxiang. In the troubled times, such kind thoughts are rare.
Silence will be the keynote tonight - as the moonlight falls, Xiao Qiao, who is alone in her boudoir, seems to be full of confusion about her future.
The moonlight penetrated the house through the thin window paper, and somehow illuminated a table.
Xiao Qiao subconsciously looked along the moonlight.
However, he discovered that something seemed to be pressed under the candlestick that he often cleaned.
"Um...that's it?"
Xiao Qiao seemed to recall his behavior in the past few days, and did not think that he had pressed anything under the candlestick.
Suddenly, a feeling of electric shock passed through Xiao Qiao's mind. She immediately tensed up, stood up quickly, and walked to the door——
She put her ear close to the door and listened to the subtle noise outside the door——
"This is the last dish. Bring it to the house quickly. The young master and the master are waiting for it!"
"okay!"
"Hey, over there, go and bring the good wine from the cellar at home!"
"good!"
...Xiao Qiao's expression changed from nervous to relaxed to serious. After the noise outside the door, Xiao Qiao took a deep breath.
Her eyes glanced at the candlestick on the table again. Because she was close to the door and the table, she saw clearly what was pressed under the candlestick. It seemed to be a note?
She swallowed nervously, closed her eyes, straightened up, and then slowly walked towards the table.
——
The act of removing the candlestick and then taking out the piece of paper underneath the candlestick was not as difficult as imagined.
Maybe it's because Xiao Qiao's spirit is always in a tense state today, and she is a little timid no matter what she does.
However, when she picked up the piece of paper and then opened it in confusion, the words that came into view made Xiao Qiao's pupils shrink sharply——
"After Zhou Yu leaves the palace, please ask Miss Xiao Qiao to go to Fuchun Tower immediately - tonight, everything will be revealed."
It is impossible to explain how Xiao Qiao is feeling at this moment.
But...these simple words, at this moment, actually gave Xiao Qiao an unparalleled impact.
"The truth...what is the truth?"
"Is...the truth about what?"
She muttered to herself, talking into the void, but unfortunately, no one would answer her.
Because it was the first time he encountered such a thing, Xiao Qiao was shocked and felt endless panic.
There is a sense of resistance in her heart.
But...for Zhou Yu, that innate sense of obedience made it impossible for her to make any act of resistance no matter how independent and determined she was.
But the content on this note... gave Xiao Qiao an opportunity he had never encountered before.
In fear and panic, Xiao Qiao clutched the note tightly and sat on his bed.
Her eyes kept scanning all the entrances and exits that could allow people to break into her room, vigilantly detecting any signs of trouble.
Time passes by minute by minute under such circumstances.
During this period of time, Xiao Qiao found that every breath he took was torture.
until--
The rumble of carriages and horses could be heard outside the mansion, and even Xiao Qiao, who was in the side room, could hear the exaggerated battle.
Three? Five? Xiao Qiao couldn't tell how many carriages came outside the house.
But then she heard the concierge yelling:
"Master! Someone came and said they are looking for you..."
——
"There's no time to explain, Commander, get in the car quickly!"
——
"Where has my son gone?"
It wasn't until Zhou Yi's startled cry came from the house that Xiao Qiao finally realized... She looked down at the crumpled note in her hand, rubbing her two little feet nervously back and forth on the ground...
"Go...want to know...the truth..."
At this time, Xiao Qiao couldn't finish what she said. She was extremely panicked. She knew that the opportunity must be missed and she would never come back. She didn't know who the note came from, but... at this time, she had no time to think about whether someone would behave like this.
Go and hurt her.
Ten years of grievances that had accumulated for ten years not only did not become a burden to her at this moment, but instead became a driving force for her to move forward.
Then——came to the present.
"Hey... did you hear that the concierge said that the young master was taken to Fuchun Tower and that he was going to have a banquet there..."
"Not only that, the person who came to pick up the young master just now is Lu Ji, the second head of the Lu family. Who is Lu Ji... Is it possible that you still don't know?"
Several servants were chatting in the backyard of the mansion while packing up the dishes left over from today's reception banquet at home.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, everyone was moving very quickly, and no one had any complaints because Zhou Yu left alone - after all, the Zhou family now relies on Zhou Yu, and his words are more useful than Zhou Yi.
"That's all, we don't have to worry about the affairs of these big shots. Send the swill to the stable quickly. Since the young master has left, let's rest early tonight. I guess in the middle of the night, we will have to take the young master back home.
!”
"That's right—"
Several servants said this while busying themselves with the work in their hands. It didn't take long before they finished their work and walked together to their houses next to the woodshed - no one noticed that the wooden door against the courtyard wall
Beside the bushes, there was a slender black figure, hiding in the shadow of the wall, trotting all the way to the back door of the backyard.
Click - an extremely small sound that did not attract anyone's attention.
The back door was quietly opened a crack, and then gently closed again.
Someone left the house at night just for the truth she wanted to find out.
