Liu Qingxiu stood up suddenly and rushed to the desk where she had been sitting half an hour ago. She held the desk tightly with both hands, stared at the table with wide eyes, and shouted in panic: "My baby, where is my baby?"

Qing He, the maid who was wiping her hair, ran over to her without knowing what was going on. She looked at her in confusion as she kept yelling at the empty desk.

At this moment, she remembered that when she came in just now, she seemed to see many bottles and jars on the young lady's, no, the master's table.

Qing He was used to calling her Miss because she had been in the Taifu Mansion since she was a child. She and Qing Hua had always served Liu Qingxiu. They both knew some martial arts, and they were bought by Liu Qingxiu's mother to serve her. Later, they followed Liu Qingxiu.

Xiu went to the Poison God Valley in Chuwu Mountain and continued to serve.

As soon as Liu Qingxiu arrived at the Poison God Valley, Liu Qingxiu's master Lai Gong, who they later learned was also her biological father, personally selected two maids with excellent kung fu skills from the valley and gave them to Liu Qingxiu.

Liu Qingxiu named them Liu Zhu and Liu Ju, and they became Liu Qingxiu's four personal maids.

A few months ago, before Liu Qingxiu was arrested in Kyoto, she, Liu Zhu and Liu Ju were sent by Liu Qingxiu to Nanjiang to do some work. The three of them thus escaped a disaster.

Qinghua died for Liu Qingxiu. When Liu Qingxiu fled back to the Poison God Valley from Kyoto, fortunately the three of them found her in time and brought her back to the valley.

After that, Liu Qingxiu promoted a maid who was good at martial arts and gave her the name Qing Ling to replace Qing Hua. Thus, she had four personal maids around her.

Qing He was hoping for the best, thinking that she might have seen it wrong. She stammered, "Pavilion Master, did you put the things in the dark room?"

Liu Qingxiu opened her scarlet eyes and shouted, "No! Impossible!" She turned around suddenly, grabbed Qinghe's shoulders, shook her hard, and asked anxiously, "Qinghe, when you came in, did you see the jar and the book on the table?"

Qing He was also confused by her question. She shook her head, nodded, and shook her head again, looking very confused.

Looking at Qing He's expression, Liu Qing Xiu said angrily: "Tell me, did you see it or not?"

"Master, I really don't care. I seem to have seen it, but I also seem not to have seen it." Qing He replied tremblingly. Because in the past few days, every time she came in, she saw bottles and jars on the table. They were all the treasures of the Master!

She had been feeding the baby carefully for several months, and it seemed that success was almost achieved. If something went wrong now, they would definitely be the ones to suffer.

Several people, she thought silently in her heart, this must not happen!

While she was still thinking, Liu Qingxiu slapped Qinghe hard with a "slap". The maid Qinghe's cheek swelled up instantly.

Qing He covered her face with one hand and whispered, "Master, I..." She wanted to say, "This is your room," but she swallowed the words back.

Qing He didn't dare to speak any more, she was very afraid of the Pavilion Master now. Ever since the Pavilion Master was rescued by them all the way back from Kyoto, the Pavilion Master had changed and became even more cruel.

At this time, Qing Zhu, who was guarding outside, rushed in and saw Qing He being beaten. She didn't know what happened and stammered, "Master, you...what's wrong with you?"

"Qingzhu, while I was taking a bath, did anyone else enter my room?" Liu Qingxiu asked coldly.

Qing Zhu asked in confusion: "Master, didn't two maids from the kitchen bring in hot water just two quarters of an hour ago?"

Hearing this, Liu Qingxiu's face turned gloomy and terrifying. She said to Qing Zhu in a stern voice: "Go and call them over quickly. Call Feng San in as well."

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Qing Zhu turned around and left quickly.

Qing He suddenly remembered something, and regardless of the pain on her face, she hurriedly said to Liu Qing Xiu: "Master, I will go and see if the window has been moved."

She walked quickly to the window and saw that it was tightly bolted, with no signs of being tampered with. She immediately turned to Liu Qingxiu and said, "Master, the window is tightly shut and has never been opened."

Liu Qingxiu also stared at the window in a daze, and then looked up at the roof.

At this time, a man in black rushed in. Seeing Liu Qingxiu's face was ashen and his eyes were wide open, he was stunned and then hurriedly asked: "Master, what's wrong? What happened?"

Liu Qingxiu did not answer him, but stared at him with a sharp gaze. "Feng San, was there anyone outsiders entering the courtyard just now?"

Feng San also looked at Liu Qingxiu with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Master, I have been guarding the courtyard the whole time. Apart from the maid from the kitchen who brought hot water to your room twice, I did not see anyone else enter the courtyard."

When Liu Qingxiu heard this, she became a little crazy, waving her hands around on the table.

At this moment, Qing Zhu hurried in with two maids from the kitchen. She pointed at the two maids and said, "Master, these two are the ones."

Seeing the two of them, Liu Qingxiu asked coldly, "When you brought the water in just now, did you see anything on my desk?"

The two maids were so scared that they quickly shook their heads. One of them said cautiously, "Master, when we came in, we kept our heads down and didn't... dared to look at the table."

Another maid also nodded and quickly said, "Master, I also bow my head."

Liu Qingxiu was like a madman, staring at the two maids viciously, slamming the table and shouting, "Tell me the truth, where did you hide the things on my desk?"

The two maids were so frightened by Liu Qingxiu's question that they fell to their knees with a thud, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried, "Master, Master, I didn't take anything from the table! I really didn't raise my head."

Liu Qingxiu's behavior also shocked the other three people in the room. Qinghe didn't believe that the two maids had the courage to do this. Qingzhu was guarding the outer room, and Fengsan and others were guarding the courtyard.

Qing Zhu and Feng San looked at each other, then looked at Qing He, asking her with their eyes. They had no idea what the Pavilion Master had lost.

Qing He shook her head, meaning that they should stop talking for the time being.

"How dare you lie to this Pavilion Master! Tell me, who told you to do this?"

The two maids were confused and kowtowed even harder, crying, "Master, I really didn't take your things. I really didn't."

"If you still don't admit it, Qing He and Qing Zhu, you must beat them hard until they confess."

She then said to Feng San in a cold voice: "Feng San, take people to search their rooms."

"Master, what do I want to search for?" Feng San asked doubtfully. He really didn't know what Liu Qingxiu had lost. Was it a hairpin or a banknote? How should he search? He didn't even think about the bottles and jars.

Qingzhu also opened her eyes wide and waited for Liu Qingxiu to speak. She still didn't know what Liu Qingxiu had lost.
