After staying in the house for a while, Chaoge took Leng Furong and Zhou Hehua to another room, leaving Black Panther with Leng Liecheng. If there was any danger, Black Panther could protect them.
Looking at the two people who fell asleep in bed after a day of tossing and turning, Chaoge took out some calming incense and lit it to help them sleep more soundly, and then entered the space.
As soon as she entered the space, she lay down on the bamboo bed, activated her wood-related skills, and headed towards the old woman's house that the shopkeeper mentioned.
The so-called old woman that Chaoge saw in the house was no more than forty years old and was in good shape. She looked much younger than the forty-something women in the countryside.
"Madam, it's getting late. Why don't you take a bath and rest first?"
The little maidservant waited at the foot of Madam He and spoke in a cautious and flattering manner. Her humble manner was so respectful that she had no dignity at all.
Look, this is what it’s like to be a maid. You have no dignity at all and are as timid as a quail!
She would never be that man's maid!
No matter how important that man was, she didn't want to be his maid and cling to his thighs.
Madam He nodded slightly, but she had no intention of getting up. She sat up slightly straighter in the armchair and slowly opened her eyes: "Xiao Ya has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back?
This girl is usually very quiet, but today she wants to take this opportunity to not have to serve me and be lazy?"
Upon hearing this, the maid quickly said in a flattering tone, "Maybe Xiaoya hasn't found any useful information yet. Why don't I go find her and let her report back first?"
Madam He nodded slightly, and the maid hurriedly retreated.
After a while, the maid came back. Old Madam He was also being served by other servants. She sat in the bathtub with a look of enjoyment on her face.
What a corruption and extravagance. Even the old mother of a mere county magistrate had to enjoy what she should and indulge in what she should indulge in during these years of famine, without slacking off at all.
How many people have no water to drink? They just soak in a big tub of hot water sprinkled with flower petals.
Chaoge reached out and gently stroked her belly. The child was indeed doing well. For so long, she had been bathing in stream water. Although it was not cold, it was not as comfortable as hot water.
Forget it, I have to take a hot bath tonight so that the baby in my belly can enjoy it too.
"Reporting to the old lady, Xiaoya is missing. I have searched the entire inn, but there is no one there."
The maid's face was not very happy, but she had to report the matter truthfully.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Mrs. He, who was originally enjoying herself comfortably, suddenly opened her eyes. She was sitting with her back against the big bathtub, and suddenly she sat up straight with a fierce look on her face!
“Could this slave girl have taken advantage of the chaos to leave?
Oh, go find it!
Go ask the innkeeper and the waiter whether this slave has ever left the inn. "
"Yes, I will go right away."
After the maid left, the old woman who was massaging Madam He's shoulders started to roll her eyes, but her hands did not stop moving at all, and she continued to serve her neither too lightly nor too heavily.
"Don't worry, old lady. Those three people live next door. They just came today and can't run away for a while.
In my opinion, when they are fast asleep in the middle of the night...”
"This method is feasible. It doesn't matter whether they have experts protecting them or not.
You go and do it, there are other people here to serve you.
Remember, capture all three of those little guys alive, and kill the rest if you want, but make sure to take care of their bodies so that it will be easier to send them to the authorities and force them to confess their crimes."
Upon hearing this, the old woman took her hand off Madam He's shoulder, took the towel handed to her by the maid as usual, wiped the water stains on her hands, knelt down and bowed to Madam He in the bathtub, then retreated.
After just a short period of surveillance, Chaoge understood.
The person behind the scenes was not Leng Qianrou's husband at all, but the old witch in the house.
Chaoge turned over and sat up from the bamboo bed, gently caressing her belly: "Baby, mother will go and deal with the bad guys first, and then I will give you a warm bath."
Chaoge picked up the incense, covered his mouth and nose and left the space. After instructing the little leopard to watch the two people in the room, he quietly came to the door of Madam He's room.
Nowadays, windows are almost all made of paper. No wonder there are so many smoke screen scenes in TV dramas. This is simply a convenient preparation for the purpose of setting off smoke screens.
Not long after the smoke entered the house, Chaoge's wood skills spread in. After watching those people fall to the ground, he took out a dagger and moved the bolt in the house little by little from the outside, then he easily entered the house.
At this time, Mrs. He had already come out of the bathtub. She had just put on her inner clothes, and before she had time to put on her middle clothes, she fell smoothly on the edge of the bed.
There were three maids in the room, and they fell to the ground together. The scene looked perfect.
Chaoge took out a silver needle, swiftly tore open Madam He's clothes, and began to sew.
Chaoge had never used her medical skills to harm anyone in the past ten or twenty years of studying medicine, but this old lady He was the first one who caused her heart to break.
She understood that Madam He was concerned about her son's career; after all, she was a mother.
But Leng Qianrou had already sent her own brothers and sisters away in order not to implicate her husband, but the old woman was still relentless, saying one thing in front of her and another behind her back, and even sent people to hunt her down.
Now, instead of chasing them down, he wants to capture the three little ones alive and send them to him to win credit and help his son gain a higher position?
She has no humanity at all and doesn't take her daughter-in-law into consideration at all.
Haha, don’t blame her for being rude.
After doing all this, Chaoge gave the three maids a few more injections, so that the three maids would wake up on their own in about a quarter of an hour after she left.
Before leaving, Chaoge suddenly saw the boxes in front of the dressing mirror in the room.
She raised her eyebrows, walked up and opened it, and sure enough, it was full of pearl hairpins, jade rings, and some rouge and powder.
Although there were not many pieces of jewelry, just two boxes, Chaoge picked out a few that looked good and put them into the space.
Then she activated the wood-related skills and spread them throughout the room, searching every corner. Finally, after searching for a while, she found a large wooden box under the bed, which was locked.
Chaoge moved it out directly and opened the copper lock with the master key.
There were indeed valuable things hidden under the brocade and silk clothes.
Chaoge picked it up. It turned out to be a finely carved wooden box. When she opened the box, she saw a thick stack of silver bills inside. She didn't even need to choose how many silver bills there were. She just put them into the space.
After doing everything and restoring it to its original state, Chaoge walked out of the house.
This old woman has so many people helping her because she has so much money. Now that she is penniless, what else can she do to cause trouble? !
