Chapter 156: The Secret
Chapter 156: The Secret
Lele returned to the yard. Since she had nothing to do, she sat in the yard and embroidered a handkerchief for Chu Ci.
The whole yard was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear the birds singing in the trees clearly.
Lele felt particularly good listening to the pleasant voice, and her embroidery needle moved faster and faster.
Suddenly, all the birds in the tree flew away, as if they were frightened.
Lele looked at the bird that suddenly flew away and felt that something was wrong. A sense of danger arose. She stood up and was about to turn around and leave with the wireframe when several men in black appeared at the gate of the yard.
"Where do you want to go?"
Lele looked at their sudden appearance, subconsciously took a few steps back, turned around and ran into the house.
But the more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made. A ball of string suddenly fell to the ground. She raised her foot and was about to run, but she stepped on the ball of string and fell flat on her face.
Several men in black looked at Lele with ridicule, "Little girl, how did you manage to stay as a maidservant for the Princess of Chaoyang County with your brains?"
The man in the middle waved his hand, and the other men in black walked over to her, grabbed the collar behind her neck and pulled her up like a chick.
Lele glanced at them, then glanced at the wireframe in her hand. Just as she was about to hit them with the wireframe, the man in black behind her slashed Lele's neck with a knife. "She's not that big, but she's doing a lot of things. She has no sense of propriety at all. With so many of us, how could she get away?"
"But speaking of this, the Queen Mother, and the boss, actually spent so much money and hired so many people to capture a little maid. It turns out that the government is rich."
The man in black in the middle shook his head speechlessly. "People always can't make money beyond their own understanding. Stop talking nonsense. Since you've received the money, carry the person and leave quickly. It would be bad if someone saw you."
The man in black carried Lele on his back, threw the note he had prepared earlier on the table, and strode away.
The remaining maids and servants who had been hiding did not dare to come out until they saw them leave. They just looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to go out and tell anyone about this matter.
Chu Ci went around and saw several seriously ill patients. When he returned to his yard, he found something wrong.
The door to the yard was open and there was no sound from inside, not even the sound of talking. This was not normal.
Qiuyue and the others also realized that something was wrong. Two of them walked in front of Chu Ci and protected Chu Ci behind them. Qiuyue stood behind Chu Ci to prevent anyone from attacking him.
Several people moved in little by little.
It was not until they reached the center of the yard that the maids and servants who were sweeping the yard dared to come out.
They rushed out and ran to Chu Ci in panic and knelt down, "Master, Master, help! There are men in black trying to break in."
When Chu Ci heard the man in black, he subconsciously started looking for Lele, but after looking around, he still couldn't see Lele's figure.
Chu Ci glanced at Qiuyue, who disappeared in a flash. She went to search nearby.
Chu Ci looked at the maidservants kneeling on the ground, "Is it over?"
One of the maids, Chu Sheng, replied, "Miss Lele was abducted by them. They came in and said nothing. They just grabbed Lele and left."
Qiuyue clenched her fists and looked at her master, "Sister, I will find you."
Caihe searched the entire yard but didn't find anyone, but she saw a note on the table.
She held the note in front of Chu Ci and said, "Master, look."
Chu Ci took the note and there were two words written on it: quota.
Since the open approach doesn't work, he dares to do it to her secretly.
Chu Ci clenched the note tightly together and threw it aside angrily. He glared at all the people kneeling on the ground, "Do you know who is behind this? Did they tell us?"
The maids and servants all shook their heads in fear and kowtowed to Chu Ci repeatedly, "Master, we don't know. They didn't say anything. They just carried Miss Lele away. They appeared suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly."
Chu Ci did not get the answer he wanted, nor did he see the handwriting. Chu Ci looked at Mingyue Caihe and the others who had returned.
They all shook their heads, "Master, we didn't find anything. We went to the front gate and asked, but no one came out."
In other words, there are no clues at all.
Chu Ci pursed his lips, turned around and walked out.
Chunhua and the others quickly caught up, "Master, where are we going?"
"Let's go to the main courtyard and find Li. Let's first test Li's background. No matter who wants this position, we must ensure Li's safety."
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Chu Ci kicked the gate open and all the maids and servants ran out, wanting to see what was going on.
Li, who had just fallen asleep, was startled by the sound of Chu Ci kicking the door. She sat up and was about to call the maid to ask what happened when she saw Chu Ci and his men rushing in aggressively.
Li narrowed her eyes slightly, frowned slightly, looked at Chu Ci and questioned, "Chu Ci, what do you mean by this? You dare to trespass into the main courtyard. Do you want to lose your reputation? Chu Ci, you must know that your tongue can kill people. The royal family will never allow someone who has ruined their reputation to marry into the royal family."
Chu Ci rushed in, and Zhilan followed in. She separated Chu Ci and Li, and stretched out her hands to protect Li. "This servant greets the county lady. May I ask what brings you here?"
Chu Ci ignored Zhilan, slowly approached, grabbed Zhilan and threw her to the side. Qiuyue kicked her directly, kicking Zhilan so far that Chunhua covered her mouth.
Qiuyue is extremely brave.
Chu Ci walked up to Li, exuding a murderous aura. "Mother, return the person to me. Don't step on my bottom line. Otherwise, no one knows what I can do."
Li looked at Chu Ci in confusion, "Who? Who am I going to return to you? Tell me clearly, I've been here treating my arm and haven't done anything else. Who is missing?"
Chu Ci looked at Li with threatening eyes, but Li's expression did not change at all, and she looked very confused. Could it be that it really wasn't her?
"Mother, return it to me intact and I will pretend that this incident never happened. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences," Chu Ci confirmed again, while carefully observing Li's expression.
Li looked at Chu Ci impatiently, pointing at the door with her unharmed hand. "Go away! You're looking for me now that your people are gone? I don't know. I didn't do it. Go find whoever did it. My arm hurts so much right now. I don't want to see you."
Chu Ci glanced at her arm, and saw a faint hint of bright red through the thin gauze.
Chu Ci stepped forward and held Li's arm, slowly applying force, causing more bright red blood to ooze out. "It'd better be the way mother says, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself." Chu Ci squeezed hard, and Li's arm, which had just been fixed, broke again.
Before Chu Ci reached the courtyard gate, he heard the voice calling for the court doctor again from inside.
