"Master, go and see Miss—"
Aunt Liang ran back to the study in a panic, Cheng Yunzhi put down his pen and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Aunt Liang was so flustered that she didn't know what to do, "Miss hid in the cabinet by herself, go and have a look quickly, I don't know what's wrong with the servant, it seems that the lady has changed."
Cheng Yunzhi hurriedly got up and walked out, his heart was beating fast, afraid that his earlier worries would come true, the two of them arrived at the door of Bo Ruoyou's boudoir one after the other, Cheng Yunzhi just stepped into the door, and met Bo Ruoyou Quiet suspicious eyes.
Bo Ruoyou was squatting on the ground, cleaning up the overturned lotus seed soup. Seeing Cheng Yunzhi's panic, she looked puzzled, "What's wrong with foster father?" Looking back, she saw Aunt Liang running with her head full. Khan, the suspicion in her eyes was even worse, "Is this lotus seed soup sent by Aunt Liang? It's okay if it is knocked over, don't worry, I will clean it up."
As she said that, she picked up the tiles on the ground, her hands and feet were swift, and Aunt Liang was shocked, "Didn't Miss just now..."
Cheng Yun looked up and down at Bo Ruoyou, and then at Aunt Liang. Aunt Liang met his questioning gaze, but she couldn't argue with it, and said in a low voice: "Master, I really saw Miss in the cabinet just now."
"Huh?" Bo Ruoyou was startled and confused, "What cabinet?"
Aunt Liang looked at the well-behaved Bo Ruoyou, stuttered for a moment, and almost began to wonder if she had read it wrong just now, "The servant girl came to deliver soup to the young lady just now, and found that the young lady was hiding in the cabinet."
Bo Ruoyou raised her eyebrows in surprise, and turned her eyes to see that the door of the cupboard was tightly closed, not to mention what was she hiding in the cupboard for
"I lay down and rested after returning to the house. I didn't sleep well last night, and I fell asleep very quickly just now. I was woken up later. When I woke up, I saw the door of the room was ajar, and the lotus seed soup was knocked on the floor."
She walked over as she spoke, and looked at Aunt Liang worriedly, "Is Aunt Liang feeling unwell?"
Aunt Liang's face was pale and white, and she was about to separate from Bo Ruoyou, but Cheng Yunzhi suddenly said: "She said that she heard movement in the cabinet when she entered the door, and she was startled before she knocked over the soup. Something happened, and the murderer hid in the cabinet and took you away, she probably remembered that disaster was all over the place."
Aunt Liang went to see Cheng Yunzhi, but Cheng Yunzhi gave her a slightly warning look. She suppressed a thousand words and had to apologize first, "It's true that the servant is too flustered..."
Bo Ruoyou frowned, feeling a little inexplicable, since she was frightened by the incident last time, it must be because she felt that there was a villain hiding in the closet, not her
Seeing that Aunt Liang's face was pale and sweaty, Bo Ruoyou didn't ask any more questions. She was just recovering from a serious illness, and after going out of the city in the morning, she was really sleepy and a little inexplicably restless, which made her have no time to take care of it.
Cheng Yunzhi pointed to the ground, "Clean it up, as long as there is no accident at home."
Aunt Liang stepped forward to clean up the mess on the ground, but she couldn't help but look at the cabinet door. The cabinet door was still open when she left, why is it closed now
Cheng Yunzhi continued: "I don't know if there is a rat in the house, please check carefully."
Aunt Liang responded, and Cheng Yunzhi looked at Bo Ruoyou's face again, "Youyou, you look bad, stretch out your hand."
The father and daughter went to sit on the long couch under the west window. Bo Ruoyou stretched out his hand to ask Cheng Yunzhi to ask her pulse, and raised his other hand to rub his forehead, "I don't know if I was dreaming just now. Some inexplicable heart palpitations, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, foster father don't need to worry, typhoid fever is probably cured."
Cheng Yunzhi finished asking for the pulse, and nodded, "The typhoid fever has indeed healed from the pulse condition, but you have been thinking too much recently, and you may have symptoms of yin deficiency and fire, and lack of energy and blood. I still prescribe a warming and tonic prescription for you. Anyway, nothing happened recently , you can recuperate at home."
Bo Ruoyou naturally obediently complied, Cheng Yunzhi wrote the prescription, and was not in a hurry to cook the medicine, first he asked Aunt Liang to prepare dinner, now it was dusk, Bo Ruoyou didn't continue to sleep anymore, and stayed with Cheng Yunzhi for the night Meal and medicine, just went back to the room to rest.
At the second watch, Cheng Yunzhi called Aunt Liang to the study room, and as soon as she entered, Aunt Liang burst into tears, "Master, I have never lied, I have thought about it for a long time, and I have never misunderstood."
Cheng Yunzhi's eyes were darker than ever before, "Tell me carefully, what did you see this afternoon."
"The servant knocked on the door at the time, but no one answered, so the servant pushed the door open and walked in. The young lady said she was resting on the couch, but the couch was empty. The servant had good eyes, so how could she be mistaken? At first, the servant thought that the young lady was not in the room. , when I was about to come out, I heard a noise in the cabinet—"
"The servant girl walked towards the cabinet. The further she walked, the more movement in the cabinet became. The servant girl opened the door of the cabinet and saw the young lady crouching in the closet. Not only that, the young lady seemed to be terrified, and threw a thin blanket in the closet. Covering herself, even covering her head and face, she was trembling, still sobbing softly, the servant wanted to pull down the thin blanket, but the young lady refused, and was quite frightened, crying louder, the servant was terrified I didn’t dare to force the young lady, so I came to the master.”
Cheng Yunzhi remained silent for a long time after listening.
The cold wind was howling outside the window, and Cheng Yun's people were clearly in the house, but at this moment, he seemed to be standing on the ice and snow.
Aunt Liang is not sick, it is Bo Ruoyou who is sick.
He clenched his knuckles tightly in his sleeves, and his breathing was a little short for a while.
Aunt Liang was flustered and frightened in her heart, "Master, this servant did not misunderstand, Miss was not at all like her at that time, and why did she talk like that later? Was she afraid that Master would be worried and didn't want him to know? But servant I have already told the master."
After a little hesitation, Aunt Liang hesitated and said: "If it wasn't like this...then miss...she might have been stained with something unclean? After all, miss followed the master to the cemetery outside the city today."
Cheng Yunzhi didn't know what he thought of, his eyes suddenly turned cold, he looked at Aunt Liang sternly, "Just pretend you don't know about this matter, don't show any clues in front of Miss."
Aunt Liang was terrified, Cheng Yunzhi took a deep breath and said, "Go and see if the young lady has rested. When Master Hou comes later, please invite him to see me in the study."
Aunt Liang naturally complied, and soon arrived at Bo Ruoyou's boudoir. The light was on in her room, but she was already lying on the couch. Want to sleep for a while."
Aunt Liang looked at Bao Ruoyou with inexplicable fear and distress, "Miss, go to sleep, if Hou Ye arrives later, the maidservant will call you."
Bo Ruoyou closed her eyes, and Aunt Liang extinguished the two bright lights in the distance, leaving only one in the front corner, then closed the door lightly and walked out.
When Bo Ruoyou closed her eyes, she felt more and more disturbed, as if her consciousness was being withdrawn passively, but she was not as relaxed as falling asleep from sleepiness. She couldn't help rubbing her forehead again, but this rubbing made her point out. I have some pain in my stomach.
She felt it was weird, because from the afternoon onwards, her fingertips began to tingle slightly, at first it was just a little bit, she was restless and didn't take it to heart, but at this moment, it became more and more painful.
She couldn't help looking at it with her finger in front of her eyes. At this moment, she found a blood spot the size of a needlepoint on her white fingertips. The blood spot was inside the flesh. It seemed that something had penetrated it, and it had penetrated extremely deep.
Bo Ruoyou stood up with the discomfort in her body, found an embroidery needle, went under the lamp again, and picked the blood spot away by the bright light. She knows how to do medical treatment, and she often runs around for autopsies, so such minor injuries and pains are nothing.
But when she picked out the thorn in the wound, her already frowning brows became tighter in an instant. It was a wooden thorn that shouldn't have appeared in her fingertips.
She stared at the wooden thorn for a while, then turned her gaze to the high cabinet carved with huanghuali and cloud patterns seven or eight steps away.
