I'm the Villain's Mother in Time Time

Chapter 140 The Big Mouse
The rain in early summer is stuffy and wet.

The pattering raindrops crackled on the oil-paper umbrella, adding a bit of noise to the slightly bleak house in the rain.

Sheng'er held her hand, suddenly raised her head and said something nonchalantly. "Mother, Xia Xiang didn't commit suicide!"

Lin Chuqian was a little surprised by his affirmative tone.

"How do you know?" she asked.

"You can see it at a glance." He curled his lips, a little disapproving. "The shoes on her feet are too clean."

She was even more astonished after hearing this. She didn't expect him to have good eyesight at such a young age, so he could see the clue at a glance?

She couldn't help laughing and teasing, "Sheng'er is quite courageous, she's not afraid of seeing a dead person, and she can observe the details calmly."

"That is." He raised his head a little arrogantly.

Lin Chuqian couldn't help laughing, reached out and rubbed his head, and he also raised his head, grinning at her.

"Then next time there is a thunderstorm, go to sleep by yourself, and don't run to my room crying again." She said viciously.

Sheng'er's fair and tender face suddenly flushed red, and she shouted with great backbone: "No."

She chuckled aloud, seeing his flushed face, her mood immediately improved a lot, sweeping away the original haze.

"You're right, she really didn't commit suicide." She snorted softly, with a subtle expression on her face. "But how she died is not important anymore."

Sheng'er tilted her head, blinking her eyes in doubt. "Since she's dead, it doesn't matter?"

"Not all of them." She twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Maybe it's because she doesn't matter, no one will care whether she is dead or alive."

Xia Xiang is just an ordinary maid in the mansion, without her parents and siblings by her side, even if she dies in peace, no one will pay attention to her.

After hearing this, Sheng'er wrinkled her face and said nothing, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

After returning to the courtyard, Huier was anxiously looking around under the eaves. When she saw them coming back, she rushed up to greet them. After taking the wet umbrella, she whispered solemnly, "Aunt Bai, Fourth Young Master, you are back, servant girl It's scary to be alone in this room."

The two looked at each other, a little puzzled.

Lin Chuqian asked, "What's the matter?"

"Aunt Bai, I told you not to be afraid." Hui'er glanced around nervously, mysteriously.

Seeing her like this all the time, Lin Chuqian couldn't help feeling a little funny. "What are you talking about?"

Hui'er hurriedly moved close to her ear, deliberately lowering her voice so that Sheng'er would not overhear her and startle him. She said, "There are dirty things in our room."

"Dirty things?" Lin Chuqian was full of doubts.

Hui'er quickly covered her mouth, as if she would startle something if she spoke louder.

"Aunt Bai." Hui'er pulled her aside and said in a low voice: "In recent days, strange figures have often appeared in your room. At first I thought the windows were not closed tightly and were blown out by the wind, but I closed the doors and windows tightly. There is still a strange sound coming out, but the strange thing is that the sound disappeared as soon as I opened the door."

Seeing that she was speaking so seriously, Lin Chuqian was embarrassed to explain to her that it was actually He Mingzhu who made the noise.

She lowered her head and looked at the bewildered Sheng'er, then smiled. "I forgot to tell you, in fact, there is a big mouse in my room, very smart, every time it finds someone, it immediately hides."

"Rat?" Hui'er was taken aback, unable to believe it.

Lin Chuqian suppressed a smile and nodded seriously. "Yes, a mouse, a big mouse."

Sheng'er at the side probably guessed what they were talking about, and grinned with a poof, showing all her white teeth.

Hui'er scratched the back of her head, looked back and forth between them several times suspiciously, and couldn't make up her mind.
