Menglan nodded in confusion and asked almost subconsciously: "But Miss, there are only a few places in this room where people can hide. They can find you as soon as they look for you. How are you going to hide?"
Xiao Qingluo smiled mysteriously: "The hermit has his own clever plan."
A quarter of an hour later.
Menglan ran out of the door in a panic, shouting frantically, "Oh no! Oh no! The young lady is missing!"
"Um?"
Outside the door, the two servants became nervous for a moment.
But he reacted the next second and looked at Menglan with a frown.
One of the older servants felt that he had seen through Xiao Qingluo and Menglan's scheme and said with a smug smile, "You idiot, do you think we'll believe you just because you said that?"
Another servant, about seventeen or eighteen years old, also realized what was happening and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "There are only a few places in this room where you can hide. If the young lady wants to hide, she can find it in those places. We can go in and look for it."
"Okay, good-for-nothing, tell the young lady to come out and stop wasting your time."
"That's right, we know you want to go out, but the head of the family has given an order, and we can't neglect our duties."
"And if we find out and tell the head of the family, I'm sure the young lady will be punished too, so let her come out."
Menglan glared at the older servant and corrected him:
"My name is not Rice Bucket! The eldest lady gave me a name, and now I'm Menglan!"
After saying that, Menglan turned around and walked back angrily, forgetting about helping Xiao Qingluo deceive the two servants.
Seeing Menglan return to the house, the two servants looked at each other with a hint of pride in their eyes.
Menglan's action undoubtedly proved that their guesses were correct!
And is there any hiding place in this house that can escape their search?
Just when the two servants were feeling smug, Menglan's exclamation suddenly rang out in the room!
"Miss! Miss! Where have you been?!"
Menglan ran out in panic, shouting, "Come here quickly, both of you! The young lady is really missing!"
The two servants frowned, and the older one glared at Menglan: "Enough! If you are lying to us, we will have no choice but to tell the master, and let him punish you!"
Menglan pointed to the door and said, "If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!"
The older servant sneered and ordered the younger servant beside him: "Guard the door here and don't let them go out."
"good!"
The little servant nodded heavily.
Even he couldn't believe that a healthy and living person could disappear right under their noses.
At this moment, Menglan's face was full of anxiety.
But beneath that anxious look, there was a deep sense of shock!
How does she
I never thought that my young lady’s hide-and-seek skills were so profound!
She had just been blocked by two servants and felt that this method would not work.
Then he went back to the house to find Xiao Qingluo.
But when I entered the house, there was no one inside!
She looked under the table, in the cupboard, and even under the bed!
There was no trace of Xiao Qingluo at all!
Only then did she realize that her young lady had actually disappeared from the house!
The young servant looked at Menglan and said with a smile, "Menglan, right? Stop pretending. Your young lady will probably be punished this time."
Menglan was unhappy: "I'm not pretending!"
The young servant didn't waste time talking to Menglan and looked at the older servant in the room.
But this sight made him frown slightly.
I saw the older servant rummaging around in the house, his expression changing from confidence at the beginning to panic and disbelief!
At this moment, the older servant's somewhat unbelievable voice came from the house!
"This is impossible! This is impossible!"
"How could a living person just disappear right under our noses?!"
"Could it be possible that there is a secret room or secret passage in this house?!"
The older servant searched for a long time but still couldn't find it.
Now he was panicked and cold sweat ran down his head.
He rushed out of the house and
Ding said, "Hurry up and inform the head of the family, the eldest lady is missing!"
“Is it really gone?!”
The little servant looked at Menglan in disbelief, and then became frightened!
The young servant realized the serious consequences of this matter, ran away quickly, and told Xiao Yuanhe about it!
Xiao Yuanhe flew into a rage and kicked the servant to the ground. "What do you think of me? How could a living person escape right under your noses? Trash! A bunch of trash! Take me to Xiao Qingluo's compound!"
With the elder servant guarding the door, it is unlikely that the tiger will be lured away from the mountain.
Xiao Yuanhe and the servant came quickly.
Xiao Yuanhe looked at the older servant angrily and asked, "When we rushed over just now, did Xiao Qingluo show up?"
The older servant groveled and said in fear, "Master, during this time, no one has come out of the house, and the windows are all sealed shut. There's no way they could have escaped, unless there's a secret room or passage in the house."
"Bullshit! This house was built by me personally. If there are secret rooms or secret passages, how come I don't know about it?"
Xiao Yuanhe was truly furious this time, slapping the older servant in the face. "Go find him quickly! Get everyone to go look for him in the city!"
"yes!"
The two servants quickly sent someone to look for him.
Xiao Yuanhe looked at Menglan with a scrutinizing expression.
He asked, "Do you know where Xiao Qingluo went?"
Menglan said with a look of panic: "Master, I really don't know!"
"You're a piece of trash too!"
Xiao Yuanhe raised his hand and was about to hit Menglan.
Menglan was so scared that she shrank her neck and tears were about to fall.
But after raising his hand, he finally put it down heavily and turned away!
Menglan finally breathed a sigh of relief!
But he still stood there for a while, and after his hands and feet had calmed down, he looked around and found a less traveled way out of the Xiao family.
Then, according to Xiao Qingluo's instructions, he ran to the restaurant called "Huaiyang Restaurant".
Almost another quarter of an hour later, Xiao Qingluo finally emerged from the portable space.
Her figure appeared in the cabinet.
She looked out through the hollow carved holes on the cabinet, and made sure that there was no one else inside or outside the room. Then she smiled slyly as if her evil plan had succeeded, and walked out of the cabinet.
Come out of the house and walk in the yard.
The entire Xiao family compound seemed very deserted.
The servants who could be seen from just a few dozen steps away should have been sent out to look for her.
Only occasionally could one see a few servants searching the entire courtyard for her.
But Xiao Qingluo easily passed through their blind spot and left the Xiao family as if strolling in the garden.
