Chapter 253 Search

"Aunt Liu is kind-hearted. She knew that the eldest lady was ill, so she specially sent me to give condolences. Did Aunt Bai just arrive?"

"No, I've been here for a while."

"Oh?" Dongju questioned. "Then why didn't I see you when I entered the room just now?"

"No, it's not." Lin Chuqian pretended to be ashamed. "I broke my stomach after eating, so I went to the latrine just now."

Dong Ju flicked her sleeves in disgust, and didn't want to pay any attention to Lin Chuqian anymore, she turned her head and began ordering her servants to turn this and that again.

The place is so small, it has been turned over long ago inside and out.

Lin Chuqian smiled and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Dongju reluctantly repeated the rhetoric of catching the thief again. After hearing this, Lin Chuqian pretended to be frightened, hugged her body and said, "The thief wouldn't run into my yard, would he? How come?" Such a daring thief, Dong Ju, you must find him out, and you'd better take him to soak in the pig cage."

"." Dongju looked disgusted at her again, and she didn't know if Aunt Bai was really stupid or fake. The people below said they saw her enter He Mingxue's yard with another man, so it's good now.

She pretended to be ignorant, as if she really came to visit He Mingxue and went to the hut by the way.

hut?

Dongju had an idea, quickly called a few servants, and rushed to the hut in a hurry.

Judging by that posture, he is going to fish for people in the latrine.

Lin Chuqian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her walking towards the hut. The hut and the utility room were in two directions. As long as Dong Ju didn't set her mind to turn the yard upside down, she probably wouldn't be able to catch Zhong Yan.

Hong Huan had already followed Dong Ju to the hut outside, and there were only two people left in the room.

He Mingxue, who was bedridden, frowned slightly, her eyes were slightly sad and anxious. "Aunt Bai."

She yelled softly, but stopped talking.

Lin Chuqian gave her a comforting smile, signaling her to be calm.

Dongju and her group hurriedly went out to search the hut, and hurriedly came back again.

Lin Chuqian sat beside He Mingxue's bed and greeted him as if nothing had happened. "Is Missy in better health?"

"It's much better, Aunt Bai has a new heart." He Mingxue's face was still haggard and pale, but she spoke more energetically.

Lin Chuqian nodded in relief. "It's good that Missy is fine, so I can rest assured. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

"Aunt Bai, go slowly, don't see her off."

Dongju looked at the two of them playing politely, and felt an evil fire burning in her forehead. She stopped Lin Chuqian's way and shouted: "Aunt Bai wait a minute."

Lin Chuqian was full of doubts, frowned and asked innocently: "Who is this Dongju?"

Dongju snorted softly, raised her head and almost looked up to the sky. "Just now I saw Aunt Bai, you took a man into the backyard, and you deliberately disguised yourself as a doctor and brought him to the eldest lady's room. Why did you disappear in a blink of an eye, and said, did you hide the man?"

"Dongju, you can't say that casually." Lin Chuqian's eyes widened, showing surprise and anxiety. "Missy is not yet married, so it's fine if you frame me like that, how can you tarnish Missy's innocence?"

Dongju snorted again, confirming that the person was hidden. "Aunt Bai doesn't need to quibble, the thing is what I saw with my own eyes, and it's definitely not groundless."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Lin Chuqian was slightly taken aback. "What did you see with your own eyes?"

"I saw with my own eyes that you brought a man who looked like a doctor into the eldest lady's house, and then the two of them lived alone in the same room for at least half an hour. How can the family tolerate such scandalous things?" Dong Ju said arrogantly. He glanced around, repeatedly trying to stare at the man with his eyes. "If the adulterer is not caught today, I will be ashamed of Aunt Liu's entrustment."

"." Lin Chuqian's face darkened, showing a look of being wronged. "I don't know what Aunt Liu entrusted you with, but the so-called man you speak of is nothing but nonsense."

"Whether it's nonsense or not, I'll find out after I search carefully." Dong Ju was determined to find out the man, and as soon as she said that, she ordered the servants to start rummaging .

Hong Huan wrung the handkerchief in both hands, annoyed and anxious, walked to He Mingxue, and softly called: "Miss, here they are."

He Mingxue covered her mouth and coughed a few times, shook her head at her, and said calmly, "Let them go."

"Miss is open-minded." Dongju sneered. "I have ordered people to guard the gate of the courtyard. Not a single fly can escape in this courtyard. I don't believe that the adulterer can't be caught. I want to see if the eldest lady can still be so stubborn."

He Mingxue's face froze, and she turned pale again. She coughed several times, and slowly subsided under the comfort of the red ring.

Seeing this, Dongju, a maid who looks down on people, can't help but sneer, and feels even more in her heart that the man is still in the yard.

It seems that she had planned it long ago, when she said that she came to visit people under the order of Aunt Liu, she made a plan to let them continue to search, and it was only a matter of time before Zhong Yan was found.

He Mingxue was anxious, but she didn't dare to show it.

The same is true for Lin Chuqian, she has no choice but to continue dealing with Dong Ju.

"An adulterer?" Lin Chuqian sneered, and sat upright on the chair, as if putting on airs. "I've been confused after hearing this for a long time. At first I said I was going to see a doctor, then I said I was catching a thief, and now I said I was an adulterer. Dongju, Dongju, you keep repeating this again and again, is it because of this Hefu?" It's all up to you to say?"

Dongju thought it was because she had lost face in front of Aunt Liu, and she was eager to use this meritorious service to win Aunt Liu's favor, so she ignored Lin Chuqian's words at all, and didn't pay attention to everyone present at all. "Aunt Bai's words are serious. I'm just following Aunt Liu's orders."

"Really?" Lin Chuqian smiled, her eyes slightly cold. "I thought your Aunt Liu had to listen to you!"

Dongju was startled by her eccentric tone, and before she could respond, the searcher stepped forward to report the situation, saying that no trace of the man was found in the house.

"Impossible!" Dong Ju didn't believe in evil, and asked sharply, "Have you searched every corner of every room?"

"I've searched them all." The servant was sweating profusely after searching for a long time, but now that he was stared at by her, he was even more sweaty. "Several houses have been searched, except"

Seeing him hesitating, Dong Ju was very displeased. "Except there?"

The servant lowered his head and replied softly: "Except for a deserted utility room!"

Lin Chuqian subconsciously clasped the armrest of the chair with her fingers, and listened with bated breath.

Dongju pondered for a moment, then resolutely uttered a word. "Search!"

The servant wiped his sweat, answered a few times, and hurriedly beckoned the two of them, and went to the utility room together.

The atmosphere in the room became serious, Hong Huan was so nervous that he didn't dare to raise his head, his fingers kept twisting the handkerchief, and his feet were swinging from side to side uneasy.

Dong Ju looked back, Lin Chuqian was sitting upright, He Mingxue was lying on the bed with a haggard face, Hong Huan was standing beside the bed with her head lowered, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it at first glance, but none of the three dared to lift up. Seeing her, she looked weird.
