A car accident, our family of three crossed
Chapter 540 The Person Pretending to Sleep
After hearing no movement outside, Mei got up, walked to the bed, lifted the bed curtain and took a look, and saw that the person inside had not woken up yet.
She felt the temperature of Zhou Huan's forehead and found that he didn't have a fever. She felt relieved and closed the bed curtain again.
Little did she know that as soon as she lowered the bed curtain, the person on the bed opened his eyes.
Mei walked to the washstand and washed herself briefly, then combed her hair into a bun at random. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and seeing that nothing was wrong, she went to the outer room.
She opened the door and said to the two maids outside, "I want to have some porridge for breakfast today, something light. Go ahead, I can give you an extra bowl of porridge. I didn't eat much at the birthday banquet last night, and I'm starving now!"
"Okay, miss, I'll go right away." After hearing the instructions, Xiaolan went to the big kitchen in the mansion.
Xiaolan followed Mei into the house. As soon as she entered, she consciously went into the inner room to make the bed.
Mei's heart beat rapidly twice, and she hurriedly stopped her, "No need to go in and clean up, I'm still sleepy! I want to take a nap after breakfast." As she spoke, she yawned at the right time.
Xiao He believed it and really didn't go into the inner room.
After all, it was already late when they returned from the birthday party last night, and then the young lady cut her hand, which kept her awake even later. It was normal for the young lady not to get enough sleep.
Soon, Xiaolan came over with a lunch box and put breakfast on the table.
"The kitchen has cooked lean meat porridge today. I thought you were hungry, so I served you an extra bowl, along with some side dishes and pastries. Please enjoy your meal."
Mei nodded, washed her hands with a wet towel, and started eating.
Then, she turned around and sent the two maids away, "No need to stay here, go eat something! We'll clean up later."
The two maids wanted to say something else, but Mei shouted sternly, "Go quickly, this is not our home. If you miss this meal, you will have to wait for the next one hungry."
"Yes, miss, we'll go right away."
After the two maids left, Mei closed the door and bolted it, then turned around and took a bowl of porridge into the inner room.
Time was running out, and she didn't care that Zhou Huan hadn't woken up yet. She gently pushed him and called softly, "Shopkeeper Zhou, Shopkeeper Zhou."
We have to let him eat something to fill his stomach before the two maids come back.
Zhou Huan was actually awake the whole time. It was only after he heard her footsteps walking into the inner room that he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep again.
After she pushed him like this, he pretended to have just woken up and slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing him wake up, Mei smiled comfortably, "How do you feel? Let me help you get up and have some porridge!"
Zhou Huan looked at her smile that came from the bottom of her heart, lost in thought. After a few breaths, he slowly nodded, "Thank you."
She hasn't even had time to eat yet! She's just thinking about him. What a kind woman.
"Come, let me support you and see if you can sit up." Mei supported him carefully, fearing that her wound would be injured.
Fortunately, Zhou Huan's uninjured right hand was still able to be used, so she didn't have to work so hard.
Mei placed a soft pillow behind him for him to sit on, then turned around to get some porridge and handed it to him.
Zhou Huan took the porridge and was about to eat it when he suddenly remembered that he had not asked her yet. Even if he knew that she had not eaten yet, it would be too rude not to ask.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Mei didn't act pretentiously and told the truth without any hesitation, "I haven't had time to eat yet! I've sent the people around me away now, so please hurry up and eat first, and I'll eat slowly later."
Zhou Huan nodded. He was indeed hungry, so he didn't say much. He picked up the porridge and started eating. He soon finished it.
Seeing this, Mei asked, "Can you have some more? There's still one bowl!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for his answer, she took the empty bowl from his hand and brought over the only remaining bowl of porridge from the outside.
Zhou Huan knew that she hadn't eaten a single bite yet, so he shook his head and said, "No, that's enough, go ahead and eat!"
Mei had no choice but to take the porridge back to the outer room, and then she slowly started to eat her breakfast.
She had a good appetite today. She finished the remaining bowl of porridge with some side dishes and ate two pieces of cakes.
When the two maids came back after breakfast, they saw that both bowls of porridge were finished, and they couldn't help but sigh.
The lady does have a good appetite today, it seems she is really hungry.
One of them packed up the lunch box and took it away, while one stayed to talk to Mei. When the other one came back after returning the lunch box, Mei sent them out of the room.
"You guys stay outside and watch! I'm going to go back to the inner room to catch up on some sleep. Don't disturb me."
The two maids obediently left the door and stood guard outside quietly. Even when they talked, they spoke in low voices.
They serve the young lady and they all know her temper. If she doesn't sleep well, she will be in a bad mood when she wakes up.
Mei returned to the inner room, and Zhou Huan, who was still sitting on the bed, lifted the bed curtain. Seeing this, she hurried over and hung up one side of the bed curtain.
Zhou Huan gently covered his chest and said to Mei: "I may have to trouble Madam Mei to go there for me and give the message."
In fact, without him saying anything, Mei wanted to ask how to help him.
"Tell me, how can I help you?"
"Madam Mei, please go to the Wanjuan Bookstore in the county..."
There is no Jubao Pavilion shop in this county town, but there are Wanjuan Bookstore and Zuixiangju, and they have people in both places.
He, the leader, is missing, and I believe people in those two places must have known about it.
As for Zhou Yin, he is a very skilled martial artist, so he might have already dealt with the killer long ago, and he might also be secretly searching for his whereabouts at this moment.
He guessed correctly. At this moment, Zhou Yin was indeed secretly searching for his whereabouts throughout the city.
Zhou Yin brought several secret men, disguised themselves, and spread out in various corners of the county, each gathering information.
Until they returned to the base at noon, they had not been able to find out any useful information.
"Maybe the shopkeeper has encountered some difficult problems, otherwise he should have left us some clues." The secret guard who spoke was not with Zhou Huan last night and did not know much about the situation at that time.
Zhou Yin frowned and said nothing. He returned to the place where he and the shopkeeper had parted last night. Unfortunately, it rained in the second half of the night. Even if the shopkeeper had left any clues, they would have been washed away by the rain.
"Tell the brothers to stop asking around aimlessly. Tell the people at Wanjuan Bookstore and Zuixiangju to keep an eye out. If the shopkeeper escapes danger, he will naturally find a way to get in touch with us."
