"Then, of course, that would be the best."
"What are you all still standing here for? Don't you have anything to do? Look at the time!"
Li Ma was furious. These people were spoiled rotten because they took advantage of Yi Yi's gentle nature.
After everyone had dispersed and gone about their own business, Yi quietly called for Li Ma to come over.
"What's wrong, Yi Yi? Are you scared? Why don't you come with me to the master and young lady's place?"
Yi shook her head. "I'm fine. I just find it a little strange. Such a big thing has happened, and there's one person who hasn't shown up yet."
Li Ma thought for a moment, then suddenly realized. "You mean Xia..."
"Um."
"Yeah, that's a lot of noise, even a pig would be woken up. But she hasn't left her room since last night. Something's definitely up. Wait, I'll go wake her up and give her a good interrogation!"
Yi quickly pulled Li Ma aside and whispered, "What if she denies it to the death? We don't have any evidence, and we'll just alert her."
"If it really was her, are we just going to let her go like this? This Xia Bingqing is really wicked, she's been making trouble for you time and time again. If it weren't for the fact that she saved the young master's life, our family wouldn't even be able to take her in, let alone allow her to act recklessly."
Speaking of which, she was filled with rage. When Xia Bingqing was still Mu Nanxun's fiancée and the daughter of the Xia family, she had caused them no shortage of trouble. They never expected that even now, in such a sorry state, she would still be so restless.
Yi Yi already understood and calmly replied, "If it really was her, of course we can't let her go. But our most important thing now is to find evidence. I think that since she was able to lure so many snakes to my room, she might have set something up there. She hasn't left since last night, so maybe those things are still in her room. Let's find an excuse to lure her out, then send people into her room to search and see if we can find anything."
"Okay, that's a good idea. I'll go right now..."
"Wait, it would be great if we could find something in her room, but if we can't, wouldn't it make us seem unreasonable? So we can't let her notice anything unusual. Li Ma, come a little closer."
Upon hearing this, Li Ma leaned closer to listen, and Yi Yi said something to her. Li Ma listened and nodded.
...
"Cough cough cough... What is this smell? It's choking me!"
"Yeah... and it's so smelly, my eyes... I can barely open them."
"Cough cough... What... What is this... cough cough cough..."
A strong, unpleasant odor filled the villa, causing the servants to emerge from every corner.
After a while, Xia Bingqing couldn't resist any longer. She opened the door, ran out quickly, and went into the courtyard with the others.
In the courtyard, Yi Yi leisurely drank tea and ate osmanthus cake, a faint smile playing on her lips.
She asked Xiao Hei to find a way to get everyone out of the villa. Xiao Hei lived up to expectations and somehow found a pungent and foul-smelling substance that worked wonders.
Xiao Hei said this is disinfectant, the kind with a very high concentration!
She had never seen disinfectant with this smell before.
"Ahem... Everyone stand properly, don't be all crooked and slouching, what are you doing?" Aunt Li scolded, feigning displeasure.
