“Bang, bang, bang.”
There was a gentle knock on the door. Leng Qianrou, who was already lying down, was unable to sleep because of her pregnancy and the troubles she had been having these days.
As soon as she heard the noise, she immediately threw back the quilt: "Quick, Aunt Lan, go see who is knocking on the door."
"Madam, who could knock on the door so late at night? Could it be the ignorant waiter of this inn? Let me go and check it out."
The maid that the old lady specially sent over waited in Leng Qianrou's room all night.
Not only Leng Qianrou can't leave the room, but everyone around Leng Qianrou can't leave the room.
As this person was the old lady's personal maid, Leng Qianrou and Nanny Lan didn't say much and just let the maid walk to the outer door.
As soon as he opened the door and took a closer look, he saw that it was a maid that Chaoge didn't recognize, and Chaoge was not surprised.
Her eyes were smiling outside the veil, and she knelt slightly to the maid and said, "Miss, I am the cook of this inn. I have to rest soon. I wanted to ask if your ladyship needs anything else?"
Chaoge deliberately raised her voice a lot. She didn't know whether these people were Leng Qianrou's people or people around the old lady. Although Leng Qianrou lived in the number one room, the sound was enough to be heard inside.
As long as Nanny Lan can recognize her voice, she will probably come out.
"Yes, it's a little pigeon, Aunt Lan..."
Not only did Nanny Lan hear the sound outside, but Leng Qianrou, who pricked up her ears, also heard it.
She felt a little strange tonight. Why did her mother-in-law send a maid to her room?
She already has maids serving her, so even if he is worried about her health, there is no need to suddenly become so concerned about her, right?
The maid's behavior was also very strange. Before, she and Nanny Lan heard someone outside calling "Little Pigeon". Nanny Lan wanted to go out to see, but the maid tried to stop her with a lot of reasons.
In the end, even her mother-in-law was alarmed.
"No need, our wife has already gone to bed, you should go and rest too."
The maid saw that Chaoge was wearing a veil and ordinary clothes, so she didn't doubt it, but she refused on behalf of Leng Qianrou and wanted to send Chaoge away.
But as soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from the inner room, stopping her: "Let her in. I'm really hungry tonight and want to have some midnight snack.
Maybe it's the baby in my belly that's causing all the trouble. It's really making me suffer."
Leng Qianrou's voice sounded faintly in the inner room. A hint of impatience flashed across the maid's face. Chaoge quickly caught it and pretended not to notice anything.
Anyway, the old lady's order was that Leng Qianrou must not leave this room.
Then, the maid moved aside and let Chaoge in.
Coincidentally, Nanny Lan also came out. When she saw Chaoge wearing a veil appearing in front of her, there was a moment of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Go in, my lady is waiting. Thank you for your hard work."
With Nanny Lan's expression and reaction, is there anything Chaoge doesn't know?
Perhaps there really are some people in this room who are not Leng Qianrou's people, and Leng Qianrou should have begun to doubt the people around her.
For example, the maid who was at the door just now.
When the maid saw Nanny Lan coming out and bringing Chaoge in, she retreated to the outer door and continued to stand guard.
As soon as he came in, Chaoge saw Leng Qianrou, who was pregnant and looking at him expectantly.
Without waiting for Chaoge to speak, Leng Qianrou immediately made a gesture to her to keep quiet, then with a glance, she indicated the direction of the outside.
Chaoge understood, took out the drug and gave it to Nanny Lan.
"Take it and light it. The young lady and I will go to the wing room to watch."
Nanny Lan understood immediately and quickly took it, lit it and took it out. Then she found an inconspicuous place to hide the smoke and quickly went into the inner room.
She didn't take any action, and after just a moment, she felt her eyes drooping and she could hardly open them.
The little pigeon was indeed smart. She understood everything as soon as her eldest lady looked at her. But why would she carry such a good thing with her?
"Why are you here?!
Little Dove, I asked my guards to escort my eldest brother and the others to the south. However, not long after my guards left Xilin County, they were hunted down and seriously injured.
At that time, my maid was also thrown out of the carriage, and the carriage was taken away by those people.
I have sent many people to look for them. You have seen them, little pigeon.
Will they, will they...?"
Leng Qianrou has become increasingly thinner these past few days, and she looks even more haggard than when I saw her a few days ago.
I think she blamed herself a lot, and even suspected that Sanxiao had died...
"Don't blame yourself. I know you sent them away because you were in trouble, but aren't you just too stupid?"
Leng Qianrou!
Chaoge's shocking words made Leng Qianrou, who was in tears, suddenly open her eyes wide. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks, but she was already surprised by Chaoge's words!
Leng Qianrou, who had been living a life of luxury since childhood and had a host of maids and servants around her, had always known in her heart that there was a difference between master and servant, and between legitimate and illegitimate children.
Although she was very grateful to Chaoge, Chaoge was just a servant in her family.
It would be strange if Leng Qianrou was not surprised when she was suddenly scolded by a servant.
"Don't look at me in surprise. The three of them survived the disaster only because of luck.
Even if they hadn't died at the time, they would have probably been arrested by your mother-in-law and sent to your husband's immediate superior to seek credit."
Leng Qianrou!
"What, me, my mother-in-law?
You, how do you know it’s my mother-in-law! ? "
Although there were suspicions, there was no evidence.
During the time she had been married into the He family, she had been respectful and filial to her mother-in-law. Although her mother-in-law did not treat her as lovingly as her own daughter, she was still relatively tolerant and generous.
Her mother-in-law was a resourceful person. She had sent the three siblings away without delay just to prevent her from getting into trouble.
But when she knew the truth, Leng Qianrou still found it hard to accept it.
“Oh, I just heard it with my own ears at her door, but I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that your mother-in-law discovered your brothers and sisters were also staying in this inn before you did.
They are planning to do it tonight. Your mother-in-law has already sent people to buy incense and find someone to prepare.
I just wanted to wait until everyone was asleep in the middle of the night so that I could attack the three siblings."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qianrou and Nanny Lan's faces naturally looked unhappy.
Even Leng Qianrou's gentle eyes were filled with anger and hatred.
Before she could speak, Chaoge continued, "Leng Qianrou, when you sent them away, didn't you know to send a few more people?
I'm impressed by you, now that I've met you, what do you think I should do?"
