Zi'an heard her footsteps fading away and immediately opened the door of the toilet. Fortunately, the yard was full of flowers and trees, and the big men at the gate did not see her.
She tiptoed to the edge of the wall, jumped over it, and landed neatly. Although her strength had not recovered, fortunately she had not lost her skills.
She ran quickly towards Xiazhi Garden. Because Prime Minister Xia, Madam Linglong and others were in the old lady's room today, the servants naturally went there as well. She ran all the way but didn't see anyone.
When I ran to the lake, I saw Aunt Cui leading three people towards Xiazhi Garden, and the housekeeper Xia Quan was following behind.
Zi'an thought to himself that something was wrong. These three people were holding cloth and silk. They should be the owners and tailors of the silk shop.
These three are outsiders, and if they see anything in Xiazhi Garden, they will definitely spread it.
How cruel!
Zi'an took a shortcut and returned to Xiazhi Garden ahead of them.
There were several servants standing at the main gate of Xiazhi Garden, and Shuyu was also standing there talking to them, looking very furtive.
Zi'an walked around and climbed over the wall from the back, then quickly walked towards his mother's room.
When I pushed the door open, I saw my mother lying on the bed with a strange man. Both of them were in disarray and unconscious.
Zi'an looked at the man and a name suddenly popped up in his mind: Chen Er.
I guess this Chen Er used to come to the mansion often, and the original owner had seen him several times, so he recognized him.
Zi'an didn't have time to think about it, so he dragged Chen Er up, quickly dragged him out of the door, and hid him in the toilet.
There are people guarding the gate, so they definitely can't get out. I just hope they don't go looking for the toilet.
Chen Er was curled up in the toilet like a dead pig. The back of his head was swollen, probably because he was knocked unconscious.
Zi'an kicked him in the chest and tapped him on the temple with the Soul-Snatching Ring. Chen Er slowly woke up and was shocked to see Zi'an. Just as he was about to ask a question, Zi'an said sinisterly, "You'd better shut up. You were knocked unconscious and put on my mother's bed. Now someone is coming to catch you in an adultery. If you are caught, you should consider the consequences."
Chen Er was so frightened that his face turned pale, "How could this happen?"
"You stay here and don't make any noise. I will handle it!" Zi'an said, closed the toilet, and went out.
She had to wake up Chen Er because he was knocked unconscious and no one knew how long he had been unconscious. If he woke up and made a noise during the search, he would be dead.
Now that I am awake, I am mentally prepared even if I am searched. I can say that I came here to use the toilet, at least I can get away with it.
She ran back to the room quickly, and before she entered the room, she heard footsteps.
She quickly closed the door, then took out a needle from her sleeve pocket and injected it into Mrs. Xia's philtrum.
Madam Xia coughed and woke up. Seeing Zi'an looking at her anxiously, she couldn't help but ask, "Did I fall asleep?"
Zi'an hissed, "No, you were drugged. They threw Chen Er on your bed. Cui Yu is bringing people here to arrest you and Chen Er. I have already thrown Chen Er into the toilet."
"What?" Mrs. Xia was shocked.
"Don't panic, it's okay as long as you're not caught on the spot. Mother, get up quickly and continue your embroidery." Zi'an pulled her up.
The footsteps had reached the outside, and then Shuyu exclaimed, "Aunt Cuiyu is here? What's the matter? Our Madam has gone to bed."
"How long have you been up? And you're sleeping again? The old lady asked me to bring the tailor over to make some clothes for you, saying that they are for her birthday." Cui Yu said.
Shuyu seemed a little embarrassed, "But the Madam has just gone to bed, how about Aunt Cuiyu come back later?"
Cui Yu angrily scolded, "Why did you come so late? This is the old lady's order. Open the door immediately. The lady just went to bed and must not be asleep yet."
Shuyu actually knelt on the ground and cried, "It's really not possible now. Aunt Cuiyu, please go back first."
Zi'an opened a crack in the window and looked out. Shuyu was trying to stop Aunt Cuiyu, who looked very angry.
The silk shop owner said, "If the lady has fallen asleep, why not come back later?"
Cuiyu said, "Since you are here, let's measure your body first, so that Manager Zhou doesn't have to run again."
She said to Shuyu in a stern voice: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you open the door quickly? This is the old lady's order."
Shuyu stood up with a helpless look, and stepped back timidly, but she seemed not to dare to open the door easily, and her expression was very sneaky and evasive.
Zi'an smiled indifferently, walked forward to open the door, and walked out with a smile, "Why is Aunt Cuiyu here?"
Aunt Cuiyu was stunned for a moment. "Isn't the eldest lady at the old lady's place? Why is she back?"
As soon as she said this, her face froze. Isn't this equivalent to telling Xia Zian that something is happening
Zi'an pretended not to hear and said, "I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I came back to get some medicated oil. Now, it's almost over again."
She raised her eyes to look at the three people and asked, "Who are they?"
Shopkeeper Zhou of the silk shop stepped forward to greet him, "I am from the silk shop, nice to meet you, young lady."
"So you are the owner of the silk shop. Are you making new clothes for mother?" Zi'an smiled and bowed. "Come in quickly. Mother is inside."
Aunt Cuiyu glared at Shuyu fiercely. Shuyu was stunned. She didn't see the eldest lady come back. She had been standing at the door the whole time.
She stood up, walked to Aunt Cuiyu, and whispered in her ear, "I haven't seen the eldest lady come back, and no one has left the room, so the person must still be there."
Aunt Cuiyu nodded slightly and led people in. Madam Xia was sitting at the table embroidering. Although Zi'an woke her up, the effect of the love potion was still taking effect and her mind was extremely dizzy.
"Madam!" Aunt Cuiyu stepped forward and bowed. She looked around but didn't see anyone. However, there seemed to be something shaking behind the screen.
Xia Quan followed in, and Aunt Cuiyu said to Xia Quan, "Is there a wild cat behind the screen? Go and take a look. I think I heard a cat's cry just now. Don't scare the Madam."
Xia Quan responded: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look."
Madam Xia stood up suddenly and stopped Xia Quan, "There is no wild cat."
Xia Quan smiled and said, "Madam, you don't know, but there are many wild cats in the mansion recently. It's scary."
Madam Xia stared at him fiercely. "There is no wild cat in my house. There are some things hanging behind the screen. You can't go and see them."
Aunt Cuiyu said, "It must be something from my daughter's house. I'll go and take a look. The claws of those wild cats are very sharp. It would be bad if they scared the lady."
Having said that, he walked over quickly. There was no one behind the screen. Only a set of pajamas and a bellyband were hanging there. It was indeed not suitable for a man to come in and see.
She was secretly surprised and looked at Shuyu again. Shuyu also had a confused look on her face. The person had not left since he was sent in. Moreover, the lady was clearly drugged by the incense, so why did she wake up
"There is no wild cat." Aunt Cuiyu forced a smile, "Madam, the old lady asked me to bring a tailor to measure you. You haven't made new clothes for a long time, so you should make a few sets for the old lady's birthday party."
