C132 Danger of dying at night and in the middle of the night (Part II)

Or perhaps, it was obstructing someone's sight?

Xu Mingwei still could not believe that Fu Ninghui would be so ruthless to him. The two of them might have made conflicting decisions regarding the Eldest Princess, but they were still going to fight with their lives on the line. As for the matter with the Eldest Princess, if she really wanted to say who was wrong, then it would be Fu Ninghui who was wrong, right? She didn't hate Fu Ninghui to the point that she wanted her to die. Fu Ninghui shouldn't be doing it, right?

Xu Mingwei really could not understand the Fu Clan's chess game.

Just when he couldn't figure it out, the Old Lai family member came in from outside and respectfully greeted him before standing back to wait for his orders.

It had only been an incense's time since Wan Rong left, and she had crawled up from the bed in a hurry. For him to be able to tidy up everything so properly without a trace of sleepiness in her eyes, she was also an intelligent person. Last time she saw her deal with Lv Zhu, Xu Mingwei knew that she had methods to know when to advance and when to retreat. The monthly allowance was given, but no proper work was given to her. She was just waiting for the opportunity she was going to get today.

If he let out the cage, it would be like a tiger leaving the sluice. No one could stop him.

The old man himself was also someone who often guessed people's hearts, how could he not know the little mistress's plans? However, she was well aware of the situation. After being idle for so long, she had been looking forward for a chance to show off her skills. The good leader knew that she was someone who could be used. Last time Lv Zhu died accidentally, she guessed that there must be another story behind this, and patiently waited for Xu Mingwei to be willing to use her.

As a result, when Wan Rong came to the house to call for someone, although it was only midnight when someone woke him up, the Old Lai family did not seem tired at all, but their hearts were on fire and they were worrying about nothing. How could she hold back her excitement when she heard Main yard call her? She immediately thought of her clothes and hair and quickly got dressed, heading straight for Xu Mingwei to receive her orders.

Xu Mingwei looked at Old Lai's expression with satisfaction and asked, "Do you know what happened in this house tonight?"

Old Lai's family head nodded, and said: "I heard from Miss Wan Rong that, but I wonder if grandmother's way of speaking is different?"

Xu Mingwei then explained everything that happened, and then she pointed to the locked door and took the key, and said: Open the door yourself, and take a look, and then you can return the key. At the time of the incident, the window facing the door was ajar and left open for air. Far away from the bed, I wondered why the snake didn't escape through the windows and doors, but instead swam to its feet. Aunty also looked around to see if there were any objects in the room that attracted the snake bugs. "

Old Lai raised his head in surprise. He didn't think that she would be so meticulous and young, so he nodded and said, "This old servant understands." Grandmother, please rest for a moment. This old servant will be back in a moment. "

Xu Mingwei slightly nodded her head, but she was also truly tired. Leaning on the soft couch with her hand on her cheek, she was half-asleep when she heard faint footsteps approaching. She did not know when she had woken up, but at this time, she was neatly dressed, and it did not look like she had just woken up.

"I woke you up. Hearing the commotion in the yard, I knew that something big had happened, so I got up to see if you still had more people on your side. Who knew that he would actually disturb his grandmother and make her prepare to leave … Does Grandmother want a sip of hot tea? Shall I get you a new pot? " Wan Yi regained his composure on the surface, half explaining and half proving it.

Xu Mingwei was noncommittal and only looked at her thoughtfully.

Wan Yi's cheeks suddenly flushed red and she said, "This servant will go to the tea room and change to a hotter one."

He hurriedly ran away as if he was being chased and bitten by something.

Xu Mingwei looked in the direction where she used to walk. In front of him was her house, the door was wide open. A wave of coldness hit him in her heart. The master and servant friendship that had accompanied him for so many years was actually only so-so.

"What is Grandma looking at? This old servant seemed to have heard someone's voice just now, who was it that came here? " Old Lai's family came out of the house with a small bag in their hands. It was a new one that Wan Rou had made, filled with mint leaves to smell. The leaves inside had to be replaced with new ones every day. The maidservants had taken care of it carefully. She had never cared about it. She had actually done something to it!

The old man saw that she had also noticed it, so he opened the bag to reveal the mint leaves inside, and said, "Originally, these reptiles didn't like the taste of mint, so they ignored it and didn't take the initiative to bite people. "I wonder which young lady in the room added this powder to her bag, but it's the smell of a male snake's favorite. She thought there was a female snake lying on the bed …"

Needless to say more, Xu Mingwei already understood and nodded, "It was Wan Yi who came over just now, I want more details. When the sun rises, Wan Rong and the others are all gathered together, asking together, needless to say, we wrongly accused her."

Right after he finished speaking, Wan Yi carried the tea in, and his gaze landed on Old Lai's family. The smile on his face froze, and he greeted in a daze, "I didn't know that Aunt was also here … Grandmother, you should remember to drink this freshly boiled water to warm up your body. "

Xu Mingwei nodded at her, "Alright, you can go now. I still have something to say to the Old Lai family. "

Wan Yi glanced at the Old Lai Clan member, his hand unconsciously twisting the handkerchief, and uneasily withdrew.

Old Lai's family head quickly sized up Xu Mingwei's expression and hesitated, "Grandma, there's something I don't know if I should say."

Xu Mingwei looked at her with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Since you want to say it, then say it."

"Grandma is a kind-hearted person, and she also remembers old friendships. But he did not know that this kindness was a scourge on the part of the unworthy. Not to mention tonight's act, even if he was thinking of his young master, he shouldn't have tolerated her and allowed her to act as she pleased. He couldn't eat what he was looking at. As time passed, even the most obedient of servants would one day devour him. Instead of waiting for her to do something that she could not tolerate, she might as well let it go earlier. "You see, isn't that right?" The Old Lai family looked down upon Wan Yi in all kinds of ways, even though they didn't want to be a good girl, they still wanted to be a warm bed person, and were truly worthy of their master's nurturing!

Xu Mingwei was also a little cold in his heart, and said indifferently, "What Aunt said, I know it clearly in my heart. This time, you can go ahead and investigate what you want. You can decide what to do next. "

Upon hearing her words, the Old Man's family felt reassured as they went to the courtyard where the old gatekeeping woman and the others were imprisoned. When daylight arrived, Wan Rong came back to help her fix her makeup, and accompanied her to Lady Wang's courtyard to pay respects.

Coincidentally, Fu Ninghui was there too. Seeing her, she turned her head to greet her with a smile.

Looking at her gentle appearance, it was hard to tell that both of them were worried about each other. Xu Mingwei lowered his head, saluted Wang Shi, and before he could explain the situation, Lady Zhan asked, "Last night, when the house was noisy, we thought it was a thief, sister-in-law, did something important happen?"

Lady Wang had already heard the servant's report early on and was waiting for Xu Mingwei to come cry before she replied, "I was sound asleep at night, so I didn't hear anything. "The family has always been strict. Could it be that a thief has really entered?"

Xu Mingwei sneered in her heart, she was afraid of the reason, they were even clearer than the ones waiting on her in her courtyard.

Xu Mingwei raised her face, so that they could clearly see her red eyes, and said unhurriedly, "Last night, there was indeed a strange matter with my daughter-in-law's room. The house's bars were all latched up properly, and she slept until midnight when a black snake came out from the bed. Fortunately, he hadn't hurt anyone. He had been taken care of by the servant in his daughter-in-law's room and was still on the ground. His daughter-in-law wondered if there was always such a large snake in the air. Was it possible that there was a snake nest in the house that had slipped into the house through the window? So I came early to tell you, and sent for someone to come into my room and see what kind of snake it was. After searching the garden carefully, I didn't want to startle the young and old of the house. "

Lady Zhan was so scared that her face turned white, she patted her chest and said uncertainly, "Oh my god, I thought that I was messing with a thief. It's been half the night and a snake suddenly appeared, how scary is this?"

For a moment, she felt some sympathy for Xu Mingwei, and said, "Sister-in-law must have been scared, if it were me, I would be so scared that I would go crazy."

When Lady Wang heard this, she frowned. The garden in the house was always taken care of. Let alone the snake nest, there were even mouse dens. It was an odd thing to do. Someone might have deliberately let the snake hurt someone. Fortunately, Heng Ge'er went to visit friends yesterday and did not stay at home. But if one day they caught up with Heng Ge'er at home, the evil person would do the same. The more Lady Wang thought about it, the more afraid she became. In her heart, she was actually very satisfied with Xu Mingwei's unperturbed appearance, and started to somewhat look down on her second daughter-in-law. If even the serious boss didn't say anything, then it was just her that was jumping around. There was no time to hide the fact that something like this had happened at home. Yet, she was talking endlessly with her mouth wide open.

He could not help but berate, "Since I have pitied your sister-in-law and fear her, I shouldn't keep bringing this up! Nanny Xue sent Second Young Madam back to her room. She was not that frightened, and after looking carefully for a while, she was cursed! "

Lady Zhan was angered and refused to leave. After being glared at by Lady Wang, she had Nanny Xue support her arm as she reluctantly returned to her own courtyard.
