"I think the person my second sister-in-law and I saw last night was not Sister Qinghe." Xiao Fuyuan said with his big black eyes open.
"If it's not Qinghe, who else could it be?" Yu Jingui couldn't help but say.
She was very familiar with that green dress, and it was still a nightmare in her life even now.
She believed she was right.
"Yes, who else could it be if it wasn't Qing He?" Mrs. Bai frowned unconsciously and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Fuyuan was not sure who was wearing the green clothes, but she knew in her heart that it was not Xia Qinghe.
"Did you read it wrong... There are girls in the village who are similar in stature to Qing He..." Zhen murmured to herself.
But if it weren't for Xia Qinghe, who would have left the cloth bag embroidered with lotus flowers on Bai Erzhuang's desk.
But reason tells Zhen that Qing He's character is not such that he would be involved with Bai Erzhuang in private.
If she was that kind of person, she wouldn't have broken off with Bai Erzhuang in the first place.
For a moment, the Bai family fell into silence.
Mrs. Zhen looked at Xiao Fuyuan, and Xiao Fuyuan's shining eyes were also looking at Mrs. Zhen.
A bold idea exploded in Zhen's mind. Could this be a conspiracy against the Bai family and Bai Erzhuang?
If this is the case, it is simply too sinister.
"No one is allowed to make any noise about this matter." Zhen said sternly, Qi Qi swept Eugene Gui hard.
Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded under Zhen's gaze.
"Leave the cloth bag to me."
Mrs. Zhen stretched out her hand towards Xiao Fuyuan, and Xiao Fuyuan handed the cloth bag to Mrs. Zhen. Mrs. Zhen came into the room and hid the cloth bag in the bedside cabinet and locked it.
"Boss, go and call your second brother and your father home."
As soon as Mrs. Bai finished speaking, a group of people outside came to Lao Bai's house.
Bai Banban and Bai Erzhuang's father and son were in the front, followed by Village Chief Zhao. The most eye-catching people in the crowd were the Han family and the Xia family.
"Aunt Bai, now that every household in the village has been searched, it's our turn..." Village Chief Zhao rubbed his hands and looked at Bai Erzhuang secretly.
Bai Erzhuang's haggard expression was calm.
"Turn it over as you like," said the old lady Bai.
She wanted to see what the Han family was up to.
"Aunt Bai, I'm offended." Xia Qingpi apologized and began to lead people around Bai's house.
The Han family did not move.
The Bai family stood at the door of the upper room, watching everything very calmly.
Xia Qingpi walked around the yard several times but found nothing.
The Bai family unconsciously looked towards Bai Erzhuang's study. Mrs. Zheng entered the study, scanned around and walked out with a normal expression.
Xiao Fu's round eyes glanced at Juan'er in the crowd, and saw her holding her skirt tightly with both hands, and her eyes showed nervousness.
"Mom, Juan'er is so tall, even taller than Sister Qinghe." Xiao Fuyuan pulled Old Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen and said as if it was accidental.
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen were startled, and then they looked at Juan'er carefully.
Xiao Fuyuan was right, Juan'er looked like her aunt, tall and beautiful, and already had the stature of a big girl at the age of twelve or thirteen.
"There are no clues." Xia Qingpi said while standing in the crowd.
For Xia Qingpi, it was impossible for the girl to be hidden by the Bai family. The reason why she came to the Bai family to look for her was just a matter of routine. After all, every household in the village had searched for her, so it was impossible for the Bai family to be left behind.
The Han family must be silenced.
"I just heard from Juan'er that Qinghe came to visit Lao Bai's house last night?" The first person from the Han family to speak this time was Han Shan's father. He was hit by the door panel and the injury on his arm has not yet healed.
"Just say what you Han family want to say clearly, don't make riddles." Old Mrs. Bai stood up and glanced at the Han family and said.
The village chief glared at the Han family. It was okay to ask questions, but the Han family's tone was obviously malicious. When he couldn't tell, he quickly jumped out to smooth things over and said, "Aunt Bai, this is not a suspicion of our family. Qinghe is missing. , our whole village is anxious, and now we just don’t let go of any clues, regardless of whether there are some or not, we have to talk about it.”
"What about that? Qinghe came to our house last night. Did he say anything?" Village Chief Zhao asked cautiously.
"Juan'er, since you said your aunt came to my house last night, can you remember what time she came?" Old Mrs. Bai did not challenge the village chief, but asked Juan'er.
"Probably, probably after dinner." Juan'er rubbed her skirt nervously and replied very honestly.
"Do you know what time you left my house?" Old Mrs. Bai continued to ask Juan'er.
Juaner avoided Mrs. Bai with her eyes, her eyes were red, and she whispered: "I fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took for my aunt to come back. When I woke up, I saw her doing needlework."
Xiao Fuyuan found that when Juan'er spoke, Mrs. Zheng standing aside was quite nervous, her eyes always staring at her second brother's study.
When Mrs. Bai heard Juan'er's reply, she nodded and smiled.
"I want to say that our family didn't see Qinghe last night. Can they be trusted?" Mrs. Bai looked at Village Chief Zhao and said.
Village Chief Zhao was embarrassed for a while.
Aunt Hu stood up to support Mrs. Bai: "Yesterday, my aunt and Qiuniang were sewing masks at my house, and they were sewing them until the moon was high."
But there are not only Mrs. Bai and Qiuniang in the Bai family, but also others.
Especially Zhen, as we all know, she used to treat Qinghe as her daughter.
"You must have hidden Qinghe. Qinghe first came to your house and then went home to cover up the situation." Han Shan was convinced that Xia Qinghe's disappearance was related to the Bai family.
At this time, everyone in the village believed that Xia Qinghe was hidden by the Bai family.
After all, Xia Qinghe and the Bai family had an inexplicable relationship, and looking at the whole village, the only one that could compete with the Han family's support for Xia Qinghe was the Bai family.
There are two talented people in the family, and there is also a village head.
In addition, Bai Erzhuang and Eugene Gui are not on good terms, so it is unknown whether he might take this opportunity to renew his relationship with Xia Qinghe.
"What you said immediately settled the case, right?" Bai Zhaomei waved his fist and shouted angrily. He had long wanted to lift Han Shan and throw him into the river.
"Sister-in-law Zheng, last night you came to my room and talked until midnight, but none of us saw Qinghe." Xie Chuntao looked at Mrs. Zheng and said.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zheng remained silent, looked at Bai Erzhuang's study and said anxiously: "It's true that we didn't see Qinghe when we were talking in your room, but Qinghe won't come to your room either."
Xie Chuntao was stunned when she heard her intention and threw the dirty water about Qinghe's disappearance on the Bai family's head.
She was usually on good terms with Mr. Zheng, but now she almost regretted looking at Mr. Zheng by mistake.
"You continue to argue that Xia Qinghe's disappearance has something to do with you? Who doesn't know that your second son is thinking about Qinghe, and maybe he helped Qinghe escape." Niu said, thinking he was justified.
"You, you, why are you slandering me with such empty teeth?" Bai Erzhuangqi said with trembling hands, "Are you sincerely looking for Qinghe, or are you here to slander me?"
It's definitely the latter. Xiao Fuyuan wanted to pick up what the second brother said.
"...it was the Bai family who hid Qing He. You see, this is the baggage found in the private school."
