For the first time in her life, Haiyan was treated like a thief.
After the initial confusion, she stood out from the crowd: "It's me! Uncle Liang!"
Liang Huyuan, who once worked with her father, was surprised when she saw it was her: "Haiyan? Could it be that you were the one who just called to catch the thief?"
Haiyan didn't want to admit it, but at this time, she had no choice but to admit it.
She followed Miss Mingqi out in the middle of the night, and then secretly climbed over the wall into Lanxinyuan. Can the matter be put to rest? Of course not!
"There was a thief here just now..."
"Where have you gone?" Liang Huyuan was very nervous when he heard this, "Where are the thieves?"
The Tenth Master's marriage is just around the corner. If the thief surprises Miss Ling, it will be a big problem!
Haiyan pointed to the direction in which the black shadow fled: "Escape from there."
Just as Liang Huyuan was about to lead people to chase him, he was stopped by his colleagues: "Wait a minute!"
The man stared at Mingwei and Ji Xiaowu warily: "We all know Haiyan, who are these two people? Haiyan, why are you with a strange man?"
Only then did Haiyan remember that Ji Xiaowu was still there! She suddenly panicked: "I..."
How to explain this? Miss Ming Qi can explain it easily, but what about Mr. Ji? He is a foreigner, and he appears in Lanxinyuan where female guests are kept. No one believes him even if he is not a thief!
Being reminded by this, Liang Huyuan also realized this problem.
"Haiyan, what's going on? Who is he? Why don't I remember that the Tang family has such a famous person?"
Just when she was so flustered that she didn't know how to explain it, a voice came from over there: "What's going on? I just heard someone shouting "Catch the thief?"
Tang Xi is here.
"Master Ten!" The nursing staff saluted respectfully.
Tang Xi nodded: "Where is the thief? You are all gathered here, have you caught him?"
Liang Huyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Go back to Master Shi, we saw them when we came here. Haiyan said the thieves had already escaped."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go search it quickly!"
Another person couldn't help but said: "But Master Shi, they are very strange. This is Lanxinyuan, how did they get in?"
Only then did Tang Xi notice Ming Wei in the shadow, and asked in surprise: "Miss Ming Qi?"
Mingwei bowed his head and saluted, calmly: "Master Ten, this is Miss Ling's residence. You'd better send someone to search it quickly to prevent the thief from hiding in the dark and hurting innocent people. We can't afford to waste time. There is still an old man living next door.
Where are the people!"
Her expression was so calm that even when he looked at Ji Xiaowu, he didn't panic at all.
Tang Xi took a look twice, then turned around and ordered: "Did you hear that? Go and search quickly."
"Master Ten! Then they..."
"They are guests, not thieves."
The master has spoken, what else can the nursing staff do? They can only follow the instructions and do their work.
"Haiyan, take them to my side first."
"yes."
After Tang Xi finished explaining, he hurried to see the situation.
Such a big movement had already woken up the people in Lanxinyuan.
When Tang Xi passed by, the room was brightly lit.
"Is Uncle Ling here?"
The maid came over and replied: "The third master came in when he heard the shouting. After making sure that the young lady was fine, he went to catch the thief."
Lanxinyuan is divided into two entrances. Mr. Ling lives outside, so it is more convenient for them to enter.
Tang Xi nodded: "Miss Ling is okay?"
"Go back to Master Shi, Miss is fine."
Tang Xi still didn't leave. The maid probably understood what he meant and looked embarrassed.
"Master Ten, it's so late now..."
"Hong Fu!" A soft voice sounded, followed by the sound of the stairs, and someone came down from it.
Tang Xi looked over and saw a pink-faced girl with fragrant cheeks slowly walking down to him, bowing her head and saluting.
"Thank you, Master Ten, for coming to check. Everything is fine with Fangruo."
This time there was no bead curtain between them, so the two of them faced each other and saw each other very clearly.
Tang Xi looked at it intently. Except for the lack of accessories and the slightly thin clothes, this Miss Ling looked normal.
It should be fine, right?
Tang Xi thought for a while and said, "It's better to be careful. Search suspicious places yourself, such as under the bed in the closet. Don't let anyone take advantage of the loophole."
The maid was nervous when she heard this and asked quickly: "Miss, why don't you stay here while the slaves go up and search?"
Miss Ling hesitated and said, "If anything happens, wouldn't you be in danger?"
Tang Xidao: "Just in case, logically speaking it won't happen."
"Okay." Miss Ling nodded, "Be careful. If there's anything wrong, we'll talk about it when you get down."
"yes."
The maids walked upstairs together, and the sound of footsteps could be heard above their heads.
As a result, only Tang Xi and Miss Ling faced each other downstairs.
Tang Xi thought about it and said, "I didn't expect something like this to happen. I'll ask someone to stand guard outside later. If anything happens, just call Miss Ling."
Miss Ling smiled sweetly: "Master Shi is thoughtful, but it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid."
"Um."
It was a bit awkward for the two of them to be alone, but fortunately, the maids came down after a while.
"Master Tang Shi, Miss, we have searched everything, everything is fine."
Tang Xi smiled and cupped his hands: "In that case, you can accompany Miss Ling to go up and have a rest."
"Well done, Master Shi."
Miss Ling watched him leave and didn't look away for a long time.
Until the maids started laughing and said, "Master Tang Shi was born so well, don't you think so, Miss?"
"And he cares so much about the young lady. He must see that the young lady is fine before leaving."
"Hey, maybe I didn't want to leave on purpose and wanted to ask the lady to come down and see her."
"They've all left. Miss, please stop watching. You can watch as long as you want in the next few days, right?"
Miss Ling glanced at them: "You are so brave if you dare to tease me."
The maids laughed and laughed: "Stop talking, the lady is angry."
"Hey, why do I see the lady smiling?"
"You must have seen it wrong, Miss, are you right?"
"Okay! It's so late at night, please hurry up and take a rest, waiter. Hey, how can a thief cause trouble when you're so good?"
There were footsteps on the stairs, and the maids surrounded Miss Ling and went upstairs.
When the main room returned to calm, black air filled the air once again.
…
Tang Xi returned to his yard.
Mingwei and Ji Xiaowu were talking.
"I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
"Cousin, can't you bear it? You're at someone else's house in the middle of the night, just thinking about food."
"Mr. Ji, here are some refreshments..."
"It's not too hot to eat. Is there any noodle soup or something?"
"Well……"
Tang Xi pushed the door open and went in: "Haiyan, go to the kitchen to get a midnight snack."
"Yes." Haiyan quickly retreated as if she had been granted amnesty.
Tang Xi's personal servant wanted to come in to pour tea, but he stopped him: "You don't have to come to serve. You can go and rest."
"Master Ten..." The boy looked at the cousins hesitantly.
There are two people here who don’t know the details, just in case...
"Go ahead."
He persisted, but the boy could only retreat: "Yes."
After the door closed, Tang Xi lifted up his clothes and sat across from them: "Okay, there are no outsiders now. Should you two explain to me what happened tonight?" (To be continued)
