Chapter 250: Strange Box
Miss Sun Er sighed and said, "In that case, you should take good care of your health first."
Wang Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and wanted to say something.
But in this plot, she seemed to be unable to speak and could only bow her head and remain silent.
The eldest young lady's wife smiled and said, "Second sister is really kind-hearted. No wonder people outside say you are so good. Before I married you, I didn't believe it."
People outside say she is good?
Miss Sun Er lowered her eyes, slightly twitched the corners of her mouth, and said nothing.
After a while, she said, "I have to go to my mother's place later. Sister-in-law, I'll leave you now."
The eldest young lady's wife smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Only after Miss Sun Er left did she turn her gaze to Wang Xiaoxiao.
"You and this second girl have a very good relationship. You just took care of her for a few days. Now you are sick. She just got the news and came running over."
Wang Xiaoxiao's scalp felt tingling.
She instinctively felt that this was a trap.
Fortunately, the plot did not force her to say anything, so she simply kept silent and pretended to be dead.
Just as she was about to lie down, she suddenly felt something pulling her body with force. Wang Xiaoxiao felt dizzy. When she managed to stand still and opened her eyes, the scene around her had changed again.
A maid who looked unfamiliar came over and handed her a brocade box.
"Sister Qiu Luo, after the second young lady returned, she sat alone by the window and was worried about you for a long time, so she asked me to send you something."
The first thought that came to Wang Xiaoxiao’s mind was not to accept anything from anyone in the dream.
But soon, a voice in her heart told her that this thing might be the key to her leaving the dream.
Master Huo did not remind her in her ear that she could not keep this thing.
Wang Xiaoxiao looked flattered and thanked him several times in a hurry.
After she was sure that this plot did not prevent her from accepting the gift from Miss Sun Er, she carefully took the brocade box.
"It's good that Sister Qiuluo has accepted it. The Second Miss is still waiting for my reply, so I will go back first."
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded, "Then I'll see my sister off."
The maid smiled kindly, "What did Sister Qiu Luo say? You are a patient now, you need to take good care of yourself."
Having said that, she decisively declined Wang Xiaoxiao's offer to see her off and turned away.
After the person left, Wang Xiaoxiao immediately found a stick and pried open the brocade box.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust that Miss Sun Er.
Well, actually I do have some distrust.
After all, although Miss Sun thought this was a good person, in the dream, no matter how good the other person was, he was still a ghost!
She doesn't trust anyone in her dreams... no, any ghosts.
Even if we take a step back and assume that Miss Sun Er is a good person, who knows whether the box has been tampered with by someone?
She has watched a lot of palace dramas!
If a poisonous snake suddenly emerged from the box and bit her, where would she go to seek justice?
Wang Xiaoxiao carefully took the wooden stick and opened the box.
The odor of a three-day-dead sewer rat hit her in the face and nearly drove her away.
She immediately covered her nose and ran outside, vomiting loudly.
Emma!
Sure enough, there is nothing good in this dream!
Wang Xiaoxiao felt numb and vomited all over the place.
She covered her nose weakly and returned to the inner room holding on to the wall.
This thing stinks and it makes her so upset. She has to see what it is!
Wang Xiaoxiao stood at a certain distance from the brocade box and quietly tiptoed to look inside.
It's better not to watch this.
This sight gave her a scare.
Good guys!
Inside lay a puppet wearing embroidered clothes, with long hair covering its entire face, and rice bran that gave off a rotten smell was scattered around it.
The puppet's hands and feet seemed to be broken, and it was in a twisted and weird posture. Even though no one was touching it, it suddenly drooped down powerlessly.
The wooden doll gives people a limp feeling.
Wang Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her hands shook, and the brocade box and the things inside were accidentally dropped to the ground.
The moment it landed on the ground, the puppet with strange posture suddenly turned into several medicinal herbs, lying quietly on the ground.
Even the rice bran that just gave off a rotten smell has become a small can of ready-made tea.
Even the nauseating stench of decay was gone.
Instead, there was a pleasant aroma of tea and a faint fragrance from medicinal herbs.
They just lay there so proudly, as if telling her that everything that happened before was just an illusion.
Wang Xiaoxiao's pale face showed some confusion.
How come?
That terrifying and eerie puppet actually turned into medicinal material!
But she knew better than anyone that the strong and nauseating smell just now was real.
Even that weird-shaped doll is definitely not an illusion!
This is something sent by Miss Sun Er. Could it be——
Before she could figure it out, a huge suction force pulled her into another scene.
Aunt Chan, who was Xiaochan, the maid who used to be by the eldest young lady's side, suddenly stuffed a plate of snacks into Wang Xiaoxiao's hands without saying a word.
She rolled her beautiful eyes, revealing a hint of displeasure, "Qiu Luo, you made it so hard for me to find you."
"You were not here just now. The young mistress looked for you but couldn't find you. She asked me to tell you that the young master is reading in the study and must be a little hungry now. She wants you to take this plate of snacks to the young master."
When she spoke, Aunt Chan's tone was a little bit domineering.
Wang Xiaoxiao frowned.
I really want to give these female ghosts a big bag!
But the important thing is to escape from the dream as soon as possible.
As everyone knows, the eldest young master's wife and Aunt Chan have always been at odds.
Even if the eldest young lady's wife really wanted to instruct her to deliver something, she would not let Aunt Chan ask.
Moreover, logically speaking, this is an opportunity to show off one's face in front of the eldest young master. How could Aunt Chan, the new favorite, let it go?
After some thought, Wang Xiaoxiao instinctively wanted to find an excuse to refuse.
But once the words came out of his mouth, they turned into: "I know, I'll go over now."
As she spoke, a dazed expression appeared on her face.
His hand uncontrollably took the snack from Aunt Chan's hand, then turned around and hurried towards the study.
Wang Xiaoxiao wanted to stop, but her body was out of her control.
On second thought, everything in this dream might be what really happened to Qiu Luo. If she tried to stop it by force, it would be detrimental to her uncovering the truth.
It is better to let nature take its course.
As she turned a corner, her view became wider.
She stopped in front of a large black door.
A voice in her mind reminded her that this was the study.
She knocked on the door, and a strange voice came from inside, "Come in."
Wang Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and walked in. She was frightened by the scene inside and took a few steps back. Her face turned pale in an instant.
