Chapter 227 It was her!
This was the first time Xie Yunqi had ever encountered something like this. This kind of "catching a thief in the middle of the night" incident, which only appeared in storybooks, actually happened to him.
Xie Yunqi was extremely excited, his eyes wide open, wishing he could rush out right now to catch the person who broke into Li Manyan's tent at night and become a hero like those in the storybooks.
Xie Yunqi dared not speak, and could only point outside with her finger, signaling: Sister, there's a thief!
Then, in a burst of passion, he made a throat-slitting gesture at Sheng Sheng, then grabbed at the air above his head with both hands, punched the air, and finally tilted his head back and grinned wickedly at the bottom of the table.
Sheng Sheng: "...?"
Brother, please stop laughing, it's scaring me.
Xie Yunqi, exasperated, mouthed, "Let me rush out right now, grab him, leave him with no way out but death, then I'll catch him and beat him up! That way, I'll become a great hero! Hahahaha..."
She chuckled helplessly and reassured him, "Wait, let's see how things go first. Don't be impulsive, what if she's just a maid?"
It would be bad if we made a big blunder. It's better to observe first and make sure something is wrong before rushing out.
After calming Xie Yunqi down, the little dumpling lay back down on the ground, ignoring the dust that had dirtied her clothes. She pressed her face against the ground, trying to look out.
His eyes darted around, trying to get a good look at the face of the owner of those embroidered shoes.
However, the gap was too small; to see the person's face clearly, the gap would have to be widened.
But if the gap is widened, Sheng Sheng is worried that it will be seen.
If they see it, things could get complicated.
After thinking it over, Sheng Sheng decided to just give it a try, albeit reluctantly.
With a pout, Sheng Sheng crawled forward a little, and Xie Yunqi was not to be outdone. He was thinking that if he wanted to be a great hero, he would naturally need to know more information.
Through that tiny gap, a pair of pale pink embroidered shoes moved back and forth, seemingly hesitant or wary, before finally taking another step towards Li Manyan after quite some time.
The newcomer stared at the sleeping Li Manyan from a distance for a while, then took out a small package wrapped in white paper and tiptoed toward the table.
With each step the man took closer, the sounds from under the table and Xie Yunqi's breathing slowed a little.
Oh my god, have they found out?
Their hearts were pounding like drums, pounding so hard they felt like they were going to jump up from their chests and out of their throats.
Their gazes gradually moved closer to the embroidered shoes, until the shoes stopped at the edge of the table, at which point their eyes almost turned cross-eyed.
Then, the two heard a splashing sound; water was being poured out of the kettle.
Fortunately, she hadn't discovered anyone under the table; she had just come over to get a glass of water.
He let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
Xie Yunqi also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his first experience as a hero was about to end.
When vision is limited, other senses are amplified.
For example, hearing.
After pouring the water, I could hear her gently shaking the powder from the white paper into the water.
Then he seemed to shake the cup, probably to mix the white powder, until the white powder gradually blended with the water, and the water turned a light milky white.
Sheng Sheng couldn't see anything; all she could see was a pair of embroidered shoes stopped at the edge of the table, right in front of her.
During the time the person stood by the table, neither of them dared to breathe. They were so close, afraid that even a single breath would be amplified in the quiet space and thus be noticed by the person.
The two exchanged a glance, and now they were certain that this was no maidservant.
What maid who takes care of her master would walk with a stop-and-go pace? Instead of going to the bedside to check on her master, she stands motionless by the table. Surely she's not drinking water?
Just as Sheng Sheng guessed, this person is here to use underhanded tactics!
She'd like to see who this person really is later.
Sheng Sheng was furious and was already planning how to catch the culprit.
For example, hold her legs to prevent her from moving, and immediately call for help.
No, no, even though this person is a woman, what if she has a weapon in her hand?
Before they even arrive, the two of them will be riddled with holes.
So what should we do?
The little dumpling frowned and began to think. As he thought, the embroidered shoes in front of him started to move.
The little girl was startled. The moment the embroidered shoes started moving, she suddenly remembered why they looked familiar.
Li Manyun stayed in the tent for a while, and as time went on, her vigilance relaxed.
After completing that series of actions, Li Manyun took a deep breath, holding the glass of water that had turned white, and finally took a step to approach Li Manyan.
Li Manyun felt a strange sense of panic, as if she sensed that if she fed the medicine to Li Manyan, she would suffer some kind of retribution.
But Li Manyun didn't think much of it, taking it as her fear and guilt before doing something wrong.
This isn't poison; it's just a drug that can make someone lose a portion of their memory.
She didn't have the courage to let Li Manyan lose her life, but she needed the courage to make Li Manyan forget this memory.
Otherwise, once Li Manyan wakes up, she'll be completely finished!
Even if Li Manyan didn't see with her own eyes that she was the one who did it, there were only the two of them there at the time, and they didn't encounter any wild boars at all.
Even without Li Manyan saying her name, as long as Li Manyan says there is no wild boar at all, all the lies will be exposed, and then she will be the one who is finished!
Li Manyun kept telling herself that there was nothing she could do about it; she had no choice but to do this.
Besides, it's not a harmful drug; it just causes her to lose her memory.
Li Manyun's face darkened, she made up her mind, and gradually approached Li Manyan.
As long as Li Manyan drinks this medicine, everything will be alright!
Li Manyun told herself this, but just as she stopped in front of the bed and before she could make a further move, Li Manyan, who had been unconscious, suddenly let out a soft moan.
"It hurts so much..."
Li Manyan was groggily trying to open her eyes when Li Manyun was startled. A huge fear immediately enveloped her. Without time to think, she had only one thought in her mind: quickly feed her the medicine, don't let her wake up with the memory!
Li Manyun rushed over, and just as she was about to hand the water to Li Manyan's lips, two little cannonballs suddenly shot out from under the table, yelling and charging towards her.
"Aaaaah, you bad woman, get away from my Yan Yan sister right now!"
