Xi Wu Er vaguely felt that his entire body was unbearably hot, and borrowed the heat to feel his body being pressed on by some heavy object. He was shocked in his heart, could it be that Han Chang Sheng came to his room in the middle of the night? Opening his eyes, he realized through the faint candlelight that it was an unfamiliar man. Xi Wu Er recognized this man, he was the son of a household manager's mother!
"Scram." Xi Wu Er bellowed, wanting to push him away, but he realised that she had already lost all sense of reason, and was hugging her tightly, going crazy. Xi Wu Er was furious, he could not scream for help now, if he were to yell for help, he would know that she had been duped by the servants before. When the time came, Han Chengsheng would definitely not let him off easy.
"Dong", Xi Wu Er felt the man on his body stiffen, and slowly slid down. It's Long Er! She held onto the vase and trembled as she asked: "Madame, are you alright?"
"Not bad. "Help me up." Xi Wu Er gasped for breath as he stood up, staring at the servant's brain that was working extremely quickly, and said to Long Er: "Let's go, let's throw him in the well in the backyard."
"But, there's someone outside …" Long Er said somewhat fearfully. She followed Xi Wu Er and lived a life of looking up to others' breaths, but her days in the Han Residence gradually improved. It caused her to feel a little bit scared when she killed someone …
"Don't worry, I have a way." Xi Wu Er said blandly: "As long as you do as I tell you, if this matter is discovered, don't blame me for killing everyone in Madame to keep your mouth shut."
Long Er knew that Xi Wu Er could do anything he wanted, so she naturally believed that Xi Wu Er would not even try to kill her because he didn't want her to know about it. Thinking about how precious her life was, she grew bold, "Yes, Servant will definitely do as Madame says."
"That's more like it." Xi Wu Er smiled slightly. Fortunately, Long Er was on duty in the Inner Academy today, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to deal with this man. The two of them jointly carried the servant out of the courtyard. In the backyard, there was a dried up well that was so deep that one couldn't see the bottom of it.
That manservant was very powerful and the two of them were sweating profusely! They arrived at the backyard in just a short while, and the guard at the gate wasn't there? Xi Wu Er gave Long Er a look, and let her see inside. Long Er carefully put down the man's legs, and quietly looked over … He saw an old woman sleeping soundly.
The old woman guarding the back yard had been waiting for more than ten years without any problems, so she had already gotten used to sleeping! Now, it was truly a time when everyone was acting carefree, and the old woman was sleeping like a dead pig.
Xi Wu Er and Long Er carried the man and carefully avoided the old granny, then arrived at the dry well. The two of them then pushed the man back into the well with some effort before the sound gradually died down.
How could the two of them even have the time to breathe? He then quietly went back to his seat and sat down. Then, he heard the sound of movement outside. The master and the servant looked at each other. It seemed that this matter had been deliberately arranged by someone.
"Madame? Madame? " Xi Wu Er shook his head, signalling for her to be quiet for the moment. It seemed that the old granny was not the only one outside the door, there was also Zhu Er, the servant girl beside Xi Wan Rong: "It can't be that the thieves have already killed Madame …"
Zhu Er? Xi Wan Rong? No matter how foolish Xi Wu Er was, he knew that he had been tricked by someone. He sneered and muttered a few words in front of Long Er's ears, causing him to nod his head.
"Kick the door." The old woman shouted and the door was kicked open! Long Er said: "Who is it, making noise in the middle of the night and not letting Madame sleep? Madame was already woken up by you guys. "
Creak ~ ~ The door opened. There were many people standing outside, Long Er recognized the old lady in the lead as being from the Mrs. Han's house. Zhu Er stood beside her. Long Er knew that she was not Zhu Er's match, but since the situation had already developed to this point, she could only act.
"What are you all doing?" Long Er braced herself and asked: "Madame was woken up by you."
"Is the Madame still in the house?" The old granny frowned with suspicion, "Since Madame is inside, why are you only opening the door now?"
"Servant is better off dead asleep …" Long Er answered and then asked Zhu Er: "What happened?"
Zhu Er's expression could not be seen, at least, Long Er could not! She only heard Zhu Er say: "It's nothing much, there's a thief in the manor, and they're looking for him right now. They probably went into the backyard."
"So that's how it is …" Long Er nodded.
"Long Er, what happened?" An impatient voice came out, Xi Wu Er came out with his clothes covering his hazy eyes and said unhappily: "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? "
The old granny repeated herself once more. Zhu Er could tell what was on her mind, but her ears were pricked up as she tried to hear what was going on in the house.
"You want to go in and search, right? Alright, you guys hurry up and finish cleaning up so that you can get lost! " Xi Wu Er's face was filled with displeasure, he angrily sat down, crossed his legs, and ordered Long Er to pour him a cup of tea.
Zhu Er immediately followed the old granny and the woman into the house to investigate. Even after searching every inch of the place, she did not find anyone around, causing him to be unable to sit still any longer. Weird, she was waiting in the outer court. She saw someone go in but didn't come out. Why is there no one here? Could it be that she would have to fly with wings in place?
Clang clang. "Zhu Er seemed to have found something at her feet, she lowered his head and saw that it was a vase and there were traces of blood on the vase. Zhu Er immediately picked up the vase and gave it to the old granny, the old granny asked:" Madame, what is this? "
"What else could it be if it's just a little bit of blood?" Xi Wu Er said unconcernedly: "My servant's finger is injured, she probably touched the flower vase."
Everyone was clear that Long Er was injured. Yesterday, Long Er did not carefully cut his finger, so a lot of people saw it, so the old granny did not pursue the matter.
"Then why on the ground?" The old woman didn't give up and continued to ask.
"Didn't you guys knock on the door just now? The young maid was so scared that he accidentally knocked down the vase." Xi Wu Er replied lazily, not a single flaw could be seen.
The old granny remained silent for a while, then led her people and left. Zhu Er was somewhat unwilling to open her mouth and say anything, but in the end, she did not say anything. Once they left, both Xi Wu Er and Xi Wan Rong seemed to become discouraged. After a long while, Xi Wu Er finally snorted coldly: "Xi Wan Rong, just you wait, no wonder every time you lose to Xi Jiu Er, you have such little tricks up your sleeve? That really makes me have a whole new level of respect for you! "
"Madame, the corpse in the backyard …" Long Er asked carefully.
"There are no corpses in the backyard!" Xi Wu Er glared and bellowed: Let's see how I'll tear your mouth to shreds if you continue spouting nonsense at me!
"Yes, Servant knows his wrong." Long Er hurriedly said. Xi Wu Er's temper was getting hotter and hotter, his personality was getting harder to predict. In the past, it was easier to serve her, but now, it was simply … His back was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Xi Wan Rong knew that Xi Wu Er had escaped death and snorted coldly, "Consider yourself gone far away from Xi Wu Er. You won't be so lucky next time."
The body was found within a few days, and the stench of it grew stronger and stronger on a hot day, giving rise to ideas. Xi Wu Er was called over by the Mrs. Han: "Do you know about the lives in your backyard?"
"A daughter-in-law only knows when someone mentions it." Xi Wu Er said with some lingering fear.
Mrs. Han frowned: "You, this master, how did you become a master? You don't even know that a dead person lives in the backyard?" Xi Wu Er was the future owner of the Han Family, no matter what, he had to know a thing or two.
Xi Wu Er said in fear: "Your daughter-in-law knows her wrongs. In the future, if your daughter-in-law still doesn't understand things, I hope mother can ask for more guidance."
Mrs. Han paused for a moment before replying, "Alright, get up." Xi Wu Er was born from a concubine, how could the First Lady teach her the way of the family? Besides, look at what kind of good girls she has. Hmph, none of them are good people.
"Go and get the old woman guarding the gate in the backyard." When she asked about the corpses in the well, her expression changed greatly. "Old Madame, this old servant does not know what happened. This old servant was on guard at night and did not see anyone enter, I think I fell into the well during the day."
These words completely eliminated him. Her duty was to watch the backyard at night and sleep during the day. Since she did not see anyone fall into the well at night, it was during the day.
"Old Madame …" A soft voice came out, following it was Xi Wan Rong's peerless beauty. After bowing to Mrs. Han, he could not help but fire at Xi Wu Er: "Madame, the person who died was a young man, why did he appear in the backyard of Madame?"
Xi Wu Er was confused: "How would I know about this?"
"You don't know? "Hmph, maybe that person is your sweetheart!" Xi Wan Rong wanted to accuse Xi Wu Er of everything he said, so he turned and bowed to the Mrs. Han, "Old Madame, you should investigate this matter thoroughly. They say the Madame is stealing people. "
"You, you're slandering me." Xi Wu Er feigned shock and anger as he said.
The Mrs. Han also felt that something was amiss. Why would a grown man appear in the dried up well in Xi Wu Er's backyard? Could it be that the two of them really had some shady business? But Xi Wu Er didn't look like him. Although he was shocked, he did not like Xi Wan Rong's aggressive look.
"I know what to do. You just have to do your job." The Mrs. Han looked at Xi Wan Rong in displeasure, the look of contempt in her eyes made Xi Wan Rong curse in her heart. Just you wait, none of those people who hurt her will be let off!
"Yes." Xi Wan Rong unwillingly retreated.
"mother …"
Mrs. Han raised his hand and said indifferently: "I believe that you are innocent. You won't be so foolish as to ruin your own future."
Xi Wu Er's heart skipped a beat, then laughed: "As long as mother trusts my daughter-in-law, I will be satisfied."
The Mrs. Han's expression became much gentler, "You, ah, better help our Han Family extend the joss stick. With a child, aren't you a person who has a solid status? Having children means having someone to rely on. "
"mother is right, my daughter-in-law will definitely work hard in this area." Xi Wu Er replied very obediently.
