Sun Shaohua looked at Xiao Lan in confusion, and then suddenly realized how Xiao Lan had passed the news to Xue Wu.
Now that Xiao Lan has honestly revealed it, I won't blame her anymore!
Four servants were left to watch the yard, while the remaining Sun Shaohua, Xiao Lan and two servants followed Jasmine to check the dog hole.
The dog hole was very remote, and no one knew when it was created. One person could barely fit through it. Jasmine had been through it once before, and it was overgrown with weeds.
"A lot of the grass here is flattened, heading towards the yard. It looks like only people have come in." Xiao Lan squatted down and looked at the direction in which the grass was flattened and the creases on the roots.
"You can do this too?" Sun Shaohua was slightly stunned.
"I'll think about it." Xiao Lan said calmly, standing up, "But I'm not sure."
"There are ten servants in the house, four of them are in your yard. Chi Yu took two away, and the remaining four will go to mother's place." Sun Shaohua was a little worried.
"Wasn't Cuizhu taken away?" Xiao Lan wondered?
Sun Shaohua shook his head. Cuizhu was injured and pointed at Yu's mother, so he probably wouldn't take her away.
"Why are you coming back in broad daylight? Wouldn't it be easier to hide at night?" Jasmine spoke up, waking up everyone present.
"Maybe it's because it's hard to hide outside during the day!" Xiao Lan glanced at Jasmine and thought of the female corpse in the river.
"Has He been sent to the farm?" Xiao Lan asked Sun Shaohua.
"What...what does this have to do with this? Do you suspect He...or Wang Yun?" Sun Shaohua looked at Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan didn't look at him, but lowered her eyes, still thinking about something.
"Let's report it to the police." Jasmine interrupted. She guessed something but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"The government can at most send people to search the yard, but they can't protect us in the yard." Sun Shaohua was unwilling. Of course he didn't want to do that. He didn't want the government to catch them, and he didn't want them to accuse his mother of poisoning Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan knew Sun Shaohua's concerns. She was hesitant, too. She felt it wasn't the right time yet. Her parents hadn't arrived yet, and Xin'er still needed medical treatment. Divorce was easy, but keeping the child was difficult. If she wanted to take Xin'er with her, she needed leverage over them.
"They can't do anything in broad daylight. At most, it's difficult for them to escape now. They will leave at night." Xiao Lan took over the conversation without mentioning reporting to the police.
"They probably just want the money. The rest is useless. Where's the indenture?"
"The indentures are all with my mother." Sun Shaohua's eyes suddenly paused as he looked at Xiao Lan, as if he had thought of something.
"Your mother has been exploited by Mother Yu her entire life. Do you think she will take them in?" Xiao Lan said coldly. She only glanced at Sun Shaohua before turning around and leaving with Jasmine. "Jasmine, let's go back to the yard and protect Xin'er."
Sun Shaohua didn't stop her, knowing she was leaving the decision to him. Thinking about it, his mother still wanted to protect Yu Mama until the very end. That yard was indeed worth searching.
Xiao Lan walked back with Jasmine. "What do you think? Could the body be He's?"
Jasmine didn't speak for a long time. Xiao Lan felt that she had guessed it, but just didn't dare to say it.
"It's possible they couldn't reach an agreement, so they pushed her into the river and she drowned. Is there any talk of drowning or something like that?"
Jasmine shook her head. "No. They only said there was a female corpse in the river. The cook heard it from the delivery boy this morning."
"Maybe he fell into the water by accident, or he might have been pushed into the water, or he might have been killed and the body thrown into the water." Xiao Lan analyzed, completely unaware that Jasmine's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.
"Madam, please stop talking!" Jasmine covered her ears and didn't want to listen.
"Are you still scared? I saw you and Haitang were talking happily today, why are you scared now?"
"Because I feel that the man has nothing to do with me. Now this man might be He Xiaoniang, or he might have been killed by Wang Yun. It is also possible that Wang Yun killed someone and is hiding among us!" After saying that, Jasmine looked around and walked faster!
"Why don't we go tell Captain Xue! Captain Xue looks very powerful. We don't have to worry with him around!" Jasmine suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan thought her frightened look was very cute.
"Don't you dislike his big and strong body?" Xiao Lan looked at her with a smile.
"At this moment, we should see whether it is useful or not, not whether it looks good or not!" Jasmine curled her lips.
"That makes sense! But Captain Xue is a government official after all, so now is not the right time. If it really is Wang Yun, he probably just wants some money. Steward Wang and Mother Yu probably have the same request."
"Can you give it to me, sir?"
"Who knows what they said in that hall that day?"
"I heard they want them to make up for all the losses and return all the money they withheld! The master wants to personally reconcile all the accounts." Moli told Xiao Lan what she had heard from Chi Yu. The reason Chi Yu told Moli was because Moli said that he would take care of the matter between him and Haitang.
"Then it's not a question of whether the master gives it to you or not, but whether they return it or not." Xiao Lan turned to look at her.
"I certainly wouldn't want to pay it back. Madam brought in such a large dowry, and now all I can handle is the cash. The rest is in their hands. I can't even calculate how much money they've lost in collecting debts over the years. It's enough for them to move to another place and become masters."
"Yeah..." Xiao Lan agreed. It was impossible to return such a large sum of money just like that. Besides, in this day and age, the risk of being discovered by hiding in a distant city was much smaller. So, escaping was the best way out!
"I hope they can take the money and leave quickly, and not do anything to hurt others." Jasmine clasped her hands together and prayed to the sky.
"Where is the money?" Xiao Lan pondered.
"I heard that Butler Wang and Mama Yu bought a house outside!"
"Then I guess I should take the opportunity to go back."
Xiao Lan and Jasmine returned to the house. Mother Xu was taking care of Xin'er in the yard. She had already fed her and warmed up the medicine for her.
"Mother Xu has been busy all morning, go and take a rest. Where's Miss Fang?" Xiao Lan felt a little surprised that she didn't see Fang Qingqing who hung around here every day.
"Mrs. Fang said she was sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep for a while and come back to take care of the child in the afternoon." Mother Xu fed the medicine to Xin'er. Xin'er turned her head away, but her eyes were on Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan took the medicine from Mother Xu's hand and said, "Go ahead, take a rest. I'll feed her."
"Then I'll go get you some lunch." Mother Xu glanced at the servant at the gate with a complicated expression, "Madam, why did you send someone to take a fancy to this again?"
"What? To protect us. Butler Wang and Mother Yu ran away, and we don't know where they went." Jasmine continued.
"Wasn't there someone watching? Why did he run away?" Haitang was puzzled.
"Who would have noticed? A housekeeper and a maid, tied up and thrown in the woodshed. Who would have thought she would run away?"
"That's careless. Why are you looking at us? Shouldn't you be looking at the door?"
"I'm afraid they will hold a grudge against us and kill us to vent their hatred." Jasmine said nonsense. Xin'er also heard it and looked at Jasmine with sidelong eyes, with some fear in her eyes.
Xiao Lan glared at Jasmine and told her to shut up. Jasmine curled her lips and followed Mother Xu to get lunch, while Haitang stayed behind.
