When passing by the lake, she kicked a random kick, and with a loud "gudong", she kicked a big stone into the lake. With this sound, it was enough to attract the attention of those people, buying more time to escape, Lu Xiaoshu quietly slowed down in one breath. Subconsciously turned around to look, sure enough, the lakeside was noisy and people were shaking, and the number of people looking for it had decreased significantly.

Lu Xiaoshu only had time to look at this woman now, hey, she is much more professional than her, she is wearing black tight-fitting clothes, with her head covered and only her eyes exposed.

As if aware that she was looking at him, the woman suddenly turned her head to look at her, her eyes blinked brightly.

She brought Lu Xiaoshu to the gate of a courtyard, dragged her and walked in, and went straight to a room.

"Who are you, what are you doing outside the second master's study?" the woman in black asked lightly.

Lu Xiaoshu suddenly became vigilant, and blurted out: "Who are you? What are you doing outside the second master's study?"

Seeing that the woman's expression seemed to stagnate for a moment, Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips and said, "If it wasn't for that, how would you know that I've been outside Master Jiang Er's study? Oh, I see, you must want to go too, right? It's just that I was half a step late, when you arrived, I accidentally made a noise and got chased, and then you just followed..."

The woman in black coughed and said, "That's right, the facts are similar to what you said. Of course I have important things to do, what about you? Why? I don't think you are familiar with this mansion, it must have been recently There wasn't enough manpower to come in from outside to help. What the hell—who sent you here?"

The woman in black asked with a hesitant tone at the end, as if she didn't dare to decide what to do with Lu Xiaoshu because she couldn't confirm Lu Xiaoshu's identity. She was even thinking to herself: Could it be one of her own

Lu Xiaoshu didn't understand at first, but when he saw the hesitant light in her eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Although he couldn't fully guess what she was thinking, he knew that she must be hesitant about how to deal with this big man because he was not sure about his background. trouble.

I really don't know who the Jiang family has offended, or what secrets there are in the house, but there is another group of people who are targeting them.

But what does this have to do with her

All she had to do was take back her painting and vent her anger.

Lu Xiaoshu's thoughts were spinning quickly in his mind, he smiled suddenly, and said lightly: "Just do what you should do. As for my affairs, it's not your business. You'd better not ask."

The woman in black is not easy to fool, she sneered and said, "I just saved you, and you treat your savior like this?"

Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips and said, "Of course I remember, but if I fall into their hands, it may not be a good thing for you!"

"What do you mean!" The woman's voice sharpened in vain, and her eyes lit up.

Lu Xiaoshu smiled easily, and said, "Don't worry! Isn't that possible now? I'm worried that they will make rounds, so I have to go back quickly! How do I get to the warehouse?"

The woman in black seemed a little unwilling to let her go like this, but she was also worried that if she was one of her own, if she kept pestering her, maybe a house round would really expose her. I'm in trouble...

What's more, now that she knows her existence, she can't expose it. Otherwise, in case of being tortured but confessing, the consequences will be even more unimaginable!

"Are you helping out in the warehouse? I'll see you tomorrow night. When the moon is in the sky, you'll be waiting for me outside the warehouse." The woman in black said coldly.

"There's only such a big commotion tomorrow night, and you're still going to see me tomorrow night? Jiang's family is rich and powerful, and you treat these family guards as a display?" Lu Xiaoshu's tone suddenly became a little harsh.

The woman in black glared at Lu Xiaoshu with displeasure, obviously very displeased with her tone that suspected of teaching her a lesson, but at the same time she deepened her doubts: Could it be that she was really sent by the new master? What exactly does master mean? Even if someone is sent, why would they send such an unreliable little girl? Although being smart is pretty smart...

"Then three days later, I will see you at that time after three days." The woman in black changed her words.

Lu Xiaoshu was eager to get away, and thought that she must have more important things to do, even if he lied to her for a while, she might not have time to make trouble for him. So he nodded and said, "Okay! Then it's settled! I have to go!"

"Do you want me to see you off?" The woman in black gave her a white look.

"No need." Lu Xiaoshu interrupted unceremoniously, hearing the woman in black pointing out the direction secretly remembering, she couldn't help asking her: "By the way, where is this?"

The woman in black glanced at her and said lightly, "Jiang Family Ancestral Hall."

"..." Lu Xiaoshu felt a gust of wind blowing over him, and there was a chill on his spine, so he turned around and left silently.

Lu Xiaoshu returned to the room quietly, her roommates were already asleep, snoring one after another, high and low.

She curled her lips, and quietly got into her bed and lay down with her eyes closed, without disturbing anyone. It was so good that no one knew exactly when she came back.

As she expected, the mansion really started to search all the yards. Before dawn, the stewards and leaders of all levels were mobilized to search everywhere, the lanterns were lit everywhere, and the entrances and exits were restricted everywhere in the mansion. It was bright.

Apparently, on such a festive day as Mrs. Jiang's 60th birthday was approaching, thieves broke into the mansion, which angered the people in Jiang's mansion.

Regardless of men and women, everyone was pulled up from the bed, yawned, complained, and asked each other what happened

Temporary workers like Lu Xiaoshu were naturally the key targets for interrogation. Yiliu stood in the yard with disheveled clothes and messy buns, yawning profusely, sluggish, no matter how he looked at him, he looked a little ridiculous in his embarrassment. Until the nanny in charge sternly announced that there was a thief in the mansion tonight, and now the whole house is being investigated. Before the thief is found out, everyone, especially their temporary helpers, are the most suspicious!

After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and immediately exploded.

"A thief came to the house! This thief is too courageous!"

"That's right! This is Jiangfu, he dares to attack Jiangfu's ideas!"

"I'm wronged, we are all honest people, but we just want to earn some money to support our family. Where do we have the courage and ability? We must be clear about it!"

"Even if you want to investigate, you should also investigate the men. What else can we women do besides cooking and washing clothes? Why are we also investigated? It's ridiculous!"

"Yes, yes! I am so tired from working every day. After dinner, I washed my face and feet and fell asleep. I was pulled up while I was still asleep. I don't know what kind of thief it is!"

"Me too!"

"Well, right!"

Everyone chattered and discussed enthusiastically. Lu Xiaoshu was secretly amused in his heart, but his face looked ignorant and tired. The little girl doesn't understand anything at all!

"Okay!" The nurse in charge snarled, and said coldly with a straight face: "Stop making noise! Jiangfu is a place with rules, not the street outside, so you can say whatever you want?"

The impatient one was very dissatisfied, and immediately wanted to open his mouth to distinguish, but was swept over by the sharp eyes of the nurse in charge, so he had to endure and shut his mouth.

The sharp eyes of the nanny in charge scanned the crowd three or four times, and she was used to managing people after all. The momentum and majesty that gradually emerged from her body gradually dispersed, shocking everyone. The people who were looking left and right and whispering to each other were captured by her majesty, and subconsciously gradually stopped their small movements and stood there motionless.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, the nurse in charge snorted and said lightly: "The Jiang family will not wrong a good person, let alone half a bad person! I will ask questions one by one later, and you should answer truthfully. What, you are not allowed to hide anything, do you understand? If anyone dares to hide something and ask someone to find out later, hehe, then no wonder people are rude! If the Jiang family wants to investigate something, they have not yet investigated it. Come out! You all heard clearly!"

"Listen clearly! I heard everything clearly!" Everyone answered quickly, but most of them were very disapproving.

They are all ordinary women in the market, and the biggest thing to worry about on weekdays is what to eat at night, whether they have spare money to pull an extra piece of floral cloth and buy another velvet flower. It's a sensational thing, they can't associate this matter with a woman anyway.

In their view, it must be a man who does this kind of thing. And he's a bold man! How many women have such courage and ability

Some were tired from working during the day and slept soundly, and secretly complained in their hearts that the nanny in charge was doing too much, which was clearly intended to disturb others. I just hoped that she would hurry up and finish her questioning so that she could go back to sleep. Looking at this hour, if he quickly fell asleep, he would still have time to take a good rest.

The nanny in charge asked people to start questioning one by one, nothing more than what did they do after dinner? When did you fall asleep? Has anyone in the same room ever gone out? Have you seen any suspicious people or suspicious things

Everyone answered one by one, and none of them were wrong.

Only when asked about the person in the same room as Lu Xiaoshu, that person first paused, subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiaoshu out of the corner of his eye, saw that her eyes were blurred and chaotic, as if she was about to fall asleep, and then looked at her small body, He didn't say anything about her going out, and denied it outright.

Lu Xiaoshu is such a weak girl, if you say she is a thief, it will make people laugh out loud!

But since it couldn't be her, why did he tell the things she went out to cause trouble for nothing? The nanny in charge is obviously just messing around with nothing to do, if she got what she said, wouldn't she be even more mentally tossed? Didn't you see that the people who just said that they got up at night were pulled aside for further questioning

Besides, Lu Xiaoshu went to visit her sister and secretly delivered food to her sister. If she was found out, she would definitely be punished. For such a young girl, her mouth is sweet and diligent, which is really unbearable. .
