This thing is probably not simple …
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but withdraw her hand. When she looked carefully at it, there seemed to be some sort of strange patterns on it. In addition, there was even an old talisman stuck to it. However, this talisman was very old and seemed to be rotten to the point of breaking upon contact.
She knocked again, and there was a hollow echo.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Yu Han couldn't help but ask her after seeing her cautious look and thinking that she had found out something.
Xi Mengyao just shook her head. She looked at this strange looking thing carefully. It was only the size of a baby's head.
She did not believe that the group of people were only there for the sake of magic. It was likely that there was something else hidden within.
If she could persuade Old Housekeeper to explain the situation clearly, maybe she could understand. But looking at the butler, she knew that it was hopeless.
Song Chongjing was the same as well. An old man, why was he so worried about him …
"Won't you open it?" Yu Han asked softly.
Although she was curious before, she was still curious. After Xi Mengyao heard this, she turned and looked at her. After thinking for a moment, she pointed at the window.
Yu Han immediately understood after seeing it. She walked out and looked around.
After confirming that there were no other people outside, he walked in and nodded his head, "The maidservants outside are resting. They probably won't come."
"That's good." Xi Mengyao nodded.
What she feared the most was that the walls would have ears. Previously, it was just these few people, but now that the steward was dead, she knew that the mansion was far from clean.
Plus, there was also a Pig Team member who kept sending spies into their own camp.
She didn't even know how many of them were on the same side as her.
Even Yu Han was on her guard. However, she could tell that this girl was straightforward. She wouldn't beat around the bush and would be easily duped and tricked, but she was also easily tricked.
However, she didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing that she was guarding outside, Xi Mengyao slowly opened the jar. She did not directly open it, but only opened a crack and looked inside.
With a single glance, she couldn't help but be shocked.
With that glance, he actually saw a small skeleton!
It was unknown whether it was human or not, but the skull was only the size of two fists, and it seemed to belong to a newborn child.
"What is it?" Yu Han watched from the side of the door and also stretched her neck out.
"I don't know, I saw a few heads inside. It looks quite scary, but it's better not to look at them."
Xi Mengyao said, as long as she covered them up.
"Why don't we open it and take a look?" Hearing this, Yu Han became interested, even though the little girl was bold, she immediately took action.
This startled Xi Mengyao, and she quickly grabbed her hand.
"If you don't know anything and you dare to open it, what if there are bugs inside and they come out to bite you?"
"Don't be so frightening …" Hearing that, Yu Han immediately retracted her hand, and looked at Xi Mengyao with a grumbling look.
Xi Mengyao only opened her hands and shook his head: "I'm not trying to scare you.
Seeing that, Yu Han did not dare say anything, she could only stand to the side, and was still unwilling: "Then, are we just going to watch? Aren't you curious about what's inside? "
"Although I'm curious, I can't be that impulsive." Xi Mengyao said, and was just knocking on the door.
Indeed, one could tell just by hearing the sound. There weren't many things inside the jar.
If it was just a skeleton head, it really wouldn't be enough.
But when she held it, she could feel its weight. This could only mean that the item inside was not big, but it was very heavy.
There must be more bones.
As she thought about it, she also furrowed her brows. After looking at it again, she saw from the corner of her eyes that Yu Han was also nervously looking at it.
As she thought, she only stood up and retreated two steps. Yu Han didn't know what she meant and could only step back. As she looked carefully, Xi Mengyao's gaze finally fell on her body.
This person probably didn't know what was inside, it wasn't faking it.
Just as she was about to reach out to see something open, there was a knock on the door. There were three loud bangs with such force that both of them screamed out in fright!
Xi Mengyao immediately felt her hair stand on end.
Then, she heard Song Chongjing's voice coming from outside: "What are you doing inside?"
Xi Mengyao heaved a sigh of relief and kept the jar away with some complaints.
This thing couldn't just be left there, who knew if he came alone.
After putting everything away, she opened the door and said, "When you came in, you didn't make any noise. Why did you knock on the door?"
Hearing her words, Song Chongjing couldn't find any words to refute her, it was too unreasonable.
He originally came because he had something to deal with, and would be scolded before he could push open the door. If he just pushed open the door and entered, he was afraid that he wouldn't only get scolded at.
This girl was getting bolder and bolder.
He sighed helplessly and continued, "Just now, you said you suspect him. What evidence could you possibly have?"
This sentence had no beginning or end, but Xi Mengyao understood what she meant.
"What? If you don't believe what I've said earlier, come find someone to investigate yourself. Do you think that there's anything suspicious?"
She had previously said that this person was suspicious. Not only was it his whereabouts, but he had also brought people to the palace so that those suspicious people could freely enter and leave.
"I am... Just now, I saw that his words were directed at you. Just what did you and him do? "
Song Chongjing asked tactfully, but he also avoided his words.
In reality, when he just returned, he was stopped by Lu Ming. Lu Ming also said that there was a problem with the butler, and there was more than one person in the mansion who had problems.
The one thing that was said was exactly the same as Xi Mengyao.
Song Chongjing knew that Lu Ming had always been discussing things with him. The two of them discovered something similar to doubt at different times, which was more than enough to prove that it was suspicious.
However, he didn't know what to say.
"If you ask me what I did, you might as well ask him directly." How could Xi Mengyao not see what this moment of hesitation signified?
After rolling her eyes at him, she thought for a moment, then threw out a letter, which she placed on the table in front of Song Chongjing.
Song Chongjing did not know what she meant by that, and lowered his head to pick up the letter.
He only saw the words "Xi Mengyao's Birthday" and a few constellations.
"The thing I dug up was to go and see your two little fellows from Old Housekeeper. I buried this thing in the ground and even made a mark."
Xi Mengyao said indifferently, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Song Chongjing, only to see that his expression, was uglier than he had expected.
