"Grandma, do you want to play with us?" Little Yunxi said with a cute little face and a smile. -- --
Mother-in-law... Mother-in-law?
The concubine's face changed drastically. She was not much older than An Tingyu, but this little brat actually called her mother-in-law. She was really angry.
Although she was furious, she thought about how she would let Xiao Yunxi do something for her, so she could only force a smile and said, "What do you want to play, young master?"
"How about playing hide and seek?"
Let her play hide-and-seek at such a age?
The corner of the concubine's mouth twitched, and she wondered whether that method was a good one. She hoped that she would not be able to trick the little brat but end up being fooled by him.
"Do you want to play?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiao Yunxi asked again.
"good!"
"If the old lady becomes a ghost, you should lie down by the wall first and don't peek!" Xiao Yunxi pointed to the wall not far away.
"Okay, I understand." The concubine's face twitched slightly, and she could only bite the bullet and lie down against the wall. However, after a long time, there was no sound from Xiao Yunxi, so she had no choice but to ask: "Young Master, are you okay?"
She was answered by silence.
"Young Master?" The concubine called out again, but the only answer she got was silence, and there seemed to be some strange sounds.
"Young Master? Are you okay?" The concubine was a little anxious and called out again. Although it was no longer silent this time, she could hear laughter and talking.
"What is this woman doing?"
"Lie on the wall like a gecko?"
"What a funny woman..."
After hearing this, the concubine finally couldn't help but turned back, but when she turned back, she found that there were many people around her, and they were laughing at her.
The concubine's beautiful face was glaring and she shouted coldly, "What are you looking at?"
"Isn't this Master Tang's concubine?"
When she turned around for the first time, everyone saw her face clearly. They looked at her strangely and then dispersed, but she could still hear their voices from a distance.
"This lady...is she stupid?"
"It's hard to say. Lord Tang is in prison. A woman who loses a man is like losing her life. How can she feel good?"
"Right, right, right. So he must have been hit hard and turned into a madman!"
"Mad men?" The concubine gnashed her teeth and suddenly shouted, "You are the crazy ones!"
It's all that brat's fault. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been treated like a lunatic. But no one knew where that little bastard had run off to. He hid away while playing hide-and-seek and disappeared without a trace. Is this still called hide-and-seek?
Don't even shout.
But she has to find this kid, otherwise how can she carry out her plan?
But my concubine searched till nightfall and still couldn't find it...
Over here, at the dinner table, Xiao Yunxi suddenly let out a strange cry, "Oh! Oops, I forgot something very important."
"Xier, what's wrong?" An Tingyu asked puzzledly.
"I forgot to tell you!"
"What's good?"
"Hide and seek. Today a grandmother said she wanted to play hide and seek with me, so I hid. But I forgot what I said, and I don't know if the grandmother is still here."
After hearing Xiao Yunxi's words, An Tingyu looked up at Xing'er, and Xing'er immediately told her what happened today.
Hearing this, An Tingyu's lips curled up slightly, and the smile continued to grow until she finally burst into laughter. "So, you guys let Tang Liuzhao's concubine play ghost for you today? And Xi'er saw the shadow play and got curious and forgot about it? And then you wandered further and further away, and returned to the post station at sunset. And then, you guys just forgot about this 'thing'?"
"That's it." Xing'er said expressionlessly.
An Tingyu glanced at Xing'er meaningfully, but didn't say anything else.
Maybe Xiao Yunxi would forget, but who was Xing'er? Could she forget? It was impossible. So Xing'er had done it on purpose. She wasn't Xiao Yunxi. She wasn't innocent, nor was she stupid. Xing'er must have seen through my mistress's thoughts, and that's why she had deliberately taken Xiao Yunxi away.
"Dangyan, it's been so hard for people to find it, just give it to her!" An Tingyu suddenly said to Dangyan.
"yes!"
The next day, Dang Yan accidentally dropped a brocade box, which was picked up by the people following him. Zhu Xinbing and his concubines gathered together to see what was inside, but...
"Empty box? What does that mean?" The concubine frowned.
Zhu Xinbing also asked in confusion: "Could it be that they have already taken the contents away, so this box is no longer needed?"
"How is that possible? This is something used to store evidence. Do you think it can be thrown away casually?" The concubine rolled her eyes at him.
"So, what is the purpose of this brocade box?"
"How should I know?"
"Yes, you don't know, but I do." An Tingyu's voice suddenly appeared, scaring Zhu Xinbing so much that the brocade box in his hand fell to the ground.
"Miss An... Miss An, why are you here?" Zhu Xinbing was startled, then quickly added, "Oh, right, we found a brocade box. We don't know who dropped it, but we're...we're just about to file a case!"
"Lord Zhu, stop pretending. We heard everything outside just now, and we know exactly what you have been doing recently." Feng Yun said with a sarcastic smile.
"Um...Mr. Feng, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Don't you know? Then how about I tell you?" An Tingyu curled her lips. She was smiling, but she gave you a cold feeling. There was no smile in her beautiful eyes.
