Rong Yiyi looked at her suspiciously, "Isn't she here? But I clearly heard her voice inside the house just now."
Xiao Tao sneered inwardly. The young lady had already been taken away by the Marquis when they arrived. Where did the sound come from inside the house?
Rong Yiyi's certainty clearly indicates that she had premeditated this.
Thinking of this, she felt a chill run down her spine for her young mistress.
If the Marquis hadn't taken the young lady away first, it would have been terrible if someone had seen her in this state.
"She really isn't here, Miss, you must have misheard," she said helplessly.
"Xiao Tao, why are you stopping me from seeing my sister?" Rong Yiyi said sadly, staring into her eyes with unusual sharpness, which Feng Mo and Xie Jingyi could not see from this angle.
Seeing this, Xiao Tao's eyes flickered, she took a step back, and said somewhat timidly, "Second Miss, please don't do this. I have no reason to stop you from seeing my young lady."
"No, then move aside." Xie Jingyi suddenly stepped forward and pushed Xiao Tao hard.
Xiao Tao, caught off guard, fell to the side and landed on the ground.
Rong Yiyi and Xie Jingyi took the opportunity to enter Rong Qingqing's room.
"Sister?" She thought she would see something shameful and then scream to attract Feng Mo's attention, but to her surprise, the room was actually empty, with no one in sight.
Xie Jingyi followed behind her, eager to find something to use against Rong Qingqing, but to her disappointment, there was no one in the room.
Rong Yiyi quickly looked around and saw that the windows were also tightly closed.
She frowned almost imperceptibly as her gaze swept over the incense burner on the table.
After such a long time, the incense had long since burned out, so there was no smell in the room.
But since Xie Jingyi burned love-locking incense in this room, it was impossible for Rong Qingqing not to fall for it.
But where is she now?
She glanced at Xie Jingyi and saw that she also looked surprised and disappointed, and a thought suddenly struck her.
So, Rong Qingqing must have been afflicted by the Love-Locking Incense.
Did she hear them coming and slip away beforehand?
But that's not right. Mother said that once someone is under the influence of the Love-Locking Incense, their mind will become muddled, and they will be at the mercy of others, unable to think normally or walk.
She looked at Xiaotao, who had followed her in, and asked softly, "Xiaotao, where did my sister go?"
Xiao Tao replied, "I've already told you, our young lady isn't here, but you just won't believe me. I was just about to tell you that our young lady accepted Miss Yanran's invitation to go out and have fun."
Rong Yiyi sneered inwardly, not believing her words, but said with a bitter smile, "Xiao Tao, why are you hiding this from me? Is it because my sister knows I'm here and is deliberately hiding from me?"
Xiao Tao frowned. "Second Miss, you've really wronged our Miss. If our Miss were here, why wouldn't she see you? After all, you're sisters." She paused, then muttered, "Second Miss hasn't done anything to wrong our Miss, so why would she avoid you?"
Rong Yiyi's expression changed, but before she could retaliate, Xie Jingyi suddenly stepped forward and slapped Xiao Tao hard across the face. "You lowly servant! Who gave you the right to speak to Yiyi like that? She came to see your young lady out of kindness, and this is how you treat her?"
Xiao Tao was stunned. When Xie Jingyi slapped her a second time, she reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying coldly, "What kind of logic is it for Miss Xie to hit people for no reason?"
