Zhuang Youjie glanced at Liang Yuanque, as if asking him if he wanted to follow.
Liang Yuanque thought that it was unnecessary for him to deal with the Zhuang family, so he asked him to follow the concierge first. He would go back to their residence to sort out his thoughts before racing against time to conduct investigations.
After Zhuang Youjie followed the concierge, Liang Yuanque walked to the room arranged for him by the Shen family. In this kind of courtyard, the guest rooms are usually close to the outer courtyard and the door, especially since he and Zhuang Youjie are both men. Master Shen naturally arranged the guest room to keep them away from the inner courtyard where the women live.
However, at this time, a person who seemed not to be there appeared near their residence.
A little girl who looked like a maid was looking around Liang Yuanque's residence, looking towards the door from time to time, as if to judge whether there was anyone inside.
This maid is dressed in the style of serving women in the inner courtyard. Her clothes and accessories are more upscale than those of the rough servant maid, and she is similar to Yu Yan who is beside the eldest lady Shen Yuelan.
It seems that she is also a personal maid. There are only two daughters in the Shen family. Now that the eldest lady has passed away, it is easy to guess who this maid is.
Liang Yuanque did not arrange any servants to serve her. It was daytime again, and all the servants keeping watch at night had withdrawn. At this time, the surroundings were quiet and deserted. This gave the little maid the convenience of being around. After carefully making sure that no one noticed him, he quietly walked up to the doorstep and peeked inside through the crack in the door.
When Liang Yuanque and the others went out in the morning, they did not disturb many people, and at the same time they refused to call for a taxi. Now that I think about it, this was really foresight. At least the people living in the inner courtyard did not seem to know that they had left the Shen family. One morning.
The moment Liang Yuanque discovered the maid, he felt that she was a little weird from her movements. He immediately imitated Zhuang Youjie's behavior last night and hid among the dense flowers and leaves on the edge of the path. The maid's little eyesight naturally didn't notice him.
He just hid like this, watching the maid peeking through the crack of the door, thinking she was very light. This was because there was no one in the room. If Liang Yuanque was really in the room, the little maid was walking into the room. He would notice it if he didn't, let alone pick at the crack in the door.
The little maid stood at the door and took a look. Apparently she noticed that there was no one in the room, so she quietly stepped back and walked down the doorstep to leave.
Liang Yuanque saw that the maid was about to leave, so he quietly left the flowers while she turned her back, and performed a real "light touch" for her. Just as the maid breathed and breathed, she still had no energy. When he noticed it, someone pressed his shoulder.
"What are you here for?"
The maid was caught off guard and screamed uncontrollably when she heard the man's voice in her ear. It was afternoon and the Shen Mansion was quiet. It seemed that many people were taking a lunch break. Her scream was so sudden. Liang Yuanque quickly covered her mouth, thinking that the other party was a young girl, so he was much gentler than when he treated Zhuang Youjie last night.
But the little maid didn't accept his "gentle" affection. Taking advantage of his relaxation, she opened her mouth and bit the flesh of his palm. Due to the movement, the bite of the maid was not severe, but it was still being chewed after all. After taking a sip, Liang Yuanque felt the stinging pain in his palms and reflexively pulled out his hands.
As soon as the hand covering her mouth was removed, the little maid tried to scream at the top of her lungs. Before he could get rid of the saliva on his hand, he grabbed her shoulders and forced her to face him, "If you don't want to be knocked unconscious, rest your throat." !”
The little girl seemed to be very frightened, her eyes were like dishcloths, and the water squeezed out as soon as she squeezed. She started to cry like a raindrop, as if she had been bullied by Liang Yuanque.
Liang Yuanque was really convinced. There was a surge of resentment in his heart for no reason. Thinking that Yu Yan also had such a shaky personality, he couldn't help but think in his heart, do all the ladies in Liucheng have this kind of personality?
Liang Yuanque has traveled extensively over the years and has seen men and women of various personalities. In fact, he has also seen a lot of people who like to cry like the little maid in front of him, but he is still not used to it.
This may be because he was too deeply impressed by the women he got along with in his childhood. The two women he was most familiar with in his life, his mother and his eldest sister, were more aggressive and more aggressive than the other.
His mother would tie him to a bench and whip him after he got into trouble, and his eldest sister would slap him on the head and face with a bench after he got into trouble.
When he was beaten as a child, he angrily thought that women shouldn't be like this, and he would never ask for such a wife in the future. However, when he grew up, his brain seemed to have been damaged, and he began to subconsciously get used to the fact that women should be like this.
Of course, this may also be because he misses them.
As he thought, the face of the little maid he was holding in front of him gradually overlapped with that of the eldest sister in his memory. He suddenly felt unbearable and let go of her hand.
"If you speak nicely, I won't beat you. Why are you here?"
The maid cried so hard that snot came out from her nose, and she wiped her face with her palms randomly, "Master Hui Liang, my name is Zicui."
"I didn't ask what your name was, I asked what you were here for." Liang Yuanque frowned.
The little girl knelt down in panic, lowered her head and cried to Liang Yuanque, "Slave, this slave was sent by Aunt Zhao to serve Master Liang..."
Liang Yuanque's eyes changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at the little maid. This girl was a bit interesting. At least she was a little smarter than the Yu Yan next to Miss Lan.
She knelt down with a low eyebrow and lowered her head. On the surface, it was because she was crying, but in fact, she was trying to hide her true expression.
She knew that she might not be able to disguise her expression, so she could only find a way to hide it.
But it's a pity that she met a guy like Liang Yuanque who is always calculating people's hearts. Her little cleverness is superficial.
Moreover, Liang Yuanque also observed with his own eyes just now that this little maid didn't look like she was here to serve anyone. She was clearly sneaky.
Liang Yuanque didn't know who the Aunt Zhao she was talking about was, but judging by her words, she was someone above her anyway. But now that she lowered her head to hide her expression, it proved that she was actually lying. , no matter how bad it is, half of this sentence is a lie.
Liang Yuanque still insisted on his previous judgment. This girl should not be dispatched by the steward to serve the guests at will. She is the person close to the young lady!
Even though she knelt at his feet, Liang Yuanque remained unmoved. He stared closely at the girl kneeling on the ground and said in a cold tone, "You didn't tell the truth."
When the maid named Zhi Cui heard what he said, her shoulders that were hunched due to sobbing paused for a moment. She seemed to be stunned, but she soon returned to normal. It can be seen that this girl still had some feelings in her heart. Ability.
"...Yes, yes, what the young master said is true. I was indeed called by the second young lady to serve people, but it was also the second young lady who asked Aunt Zhao to bring me here..."
Liang Yuanque, who was stumbling behind her, had no intention of listening anymore. Anyway, he had made his own judgment in his mind. This little girl refused to tell the truth. She pretended to tell part of the truth, but in fact it was to cover up the other part. The important lie was what Liang Yuanque had been asking about her purpose of coming here.
I don’t know if it’s because she is smart or she has been taught by Shen Yuexin in advance. If she has so many tricks, looking at her who seems to be younger than Yu Yan, Liang Yuanque can’t help but think, that’s it. If the girl is tempered by life for a few more years, she will probably grow into a spirit-like person. But it is a pity that such a clever mind has grown in a little girl. These cleverness can only be used in the back house. It is true. It's a pity.
And once she mentioned the second young lady Shen Yuexin, Liang Yuanque became more sure of his judgment about the purpose of her coming here. Zhi Cui was sent by Shen Yuexin to find out the news about Liang Yuanque. This Zhi Cui was Shen Yuexin's personal person. , is probably the smartest person around her, so it makes sense to send her to perform this task.
Oops, Shen Yuexin really has "I'm very suspicious" written all over her body. But is it really possible for a girl with such shallow behavior and thoughts to design a brutal murder to kill her sister? ?
