Xiao Xubai actually went to learn it.

After breakfast in the morning, he came to find Qingqing carrying a small basket with some digging tools in it.

Just behind the attic where Xiao Qingdai lived was the place where the mother and daughter met for the first time.

Hibiscus used to be planted in that field. Now Xiao Xubai brought a basket of processed tulip bulbs and took Qingqing to dig holes in that field.

Qingqing had never played these games before. She had only seen clips of people planting flowers on TV. This was her first time doing it.

She was very curious and worked very hard, digging the soil with a grunt.

Upstairs, Xiao Qingdai sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at the scene, her eyes unconsciously softened into a pool of water.

When the hall masters who were reporting their accounts below accidentally saw this scene, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.

It's true that if you live long enough, you'll see everything. Before the young lady came back, who would have thought that the head of the family could be so gentle.

After they left, a woman in black walked in from outside.

Her name is Xiaoxue. She has been running around for a long time, gathering information everywhere.

After Qingqing went missing, she was the one who was responsible for finding her.

In the past, when she came in, her expression was always calm, but today it was a little different.

"Master, when I went to investigate the young lady's orphanage last night, I discovered something."

Xiao Qingdai shifted her gaze away from Qingqing, reluctantly.

"Go ahead."

Xiaoxue glanced at her quietly, then lowered her head and stared at the ground quietly.

"Based on the location the dean mentioned, I led people to investigate nearby and discovered an important person. He may have witnessed the young lady's accident that year."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingdai turned her gaze to her, with a cold look in her eyes.

She didn't ask who the person was first, but spoke in a calm tone.

“Why didn’t you find it before?”

Xiaoxue's body tensed instantly, her head lowered even lower, and she explained.

"This man's name is Wang Peng. The morning after the young lady was born, he was arrested at home by the police for burglary and sentenced to three years and one month. He was just released from prison the day before yesterday. Because he was in prison, we didn't find him during our previous investigation."

Xiao Qingdai didn't say anything, her eyes looking at a certain place in the room, as if she was thinking about something.

She didn't say anything, and Xiaoxue continued to report.

"Three years ago on September 17th at 4:00 a.m., he left the victim's home and fled with the gold jewelry and cash. He happened to pass by the park where the orphanage director mentioned he had found the young lady."

This Wang Peng, at two o'clock in the morning when everyone was asleep, ran to someone's house who had already chosen a location, pried open the kitchen window, sneaked into the room and searched around for two hours, stealing all the money and jewelry he could find.

"Where is he now?" Xiao Qingdai asked.

Xiaoxue looked up and said, "Master, I brought him back. He's blindfolded and covered his mouth. He's in the trunk of my car now."

Xiao Qingdai hummed, her expression indifferent, "Take it to the basement, I'll be there later."

"it is good."

After Xiaoxue left, Xiao Qingdai stood up and looked out the window.

The little girl was still digging with Xiao Xubai. She dug a whole row of holes, and without exception, they were all round.

When planting tulips, she would hold them in her hands, lean over and give them a sweet kiss.

It seemed as if he was saying something, wishing them to grow healthily.

When she saw her, Xiao Qingdai's heart calmed down.

She was very satisfied, and there were many moments when she wanted time to stop.

When I came to my senses, five minutes had passed.

Frost took her downstairs to the basement under the attic.

At the same time, someone came up to Xiao Xubai and whispered, "Fourth Young Master, the head of the family is going to take care of some things. If the young lady is looking for her, please hold her back."

Xiao Xubai paused, looked back at the attic window, and lowered his voice, "I understand."

After the man left, he continued to help Qingqing spread fertilizer and bury the soil.

The little girl was quite clean. She was only responsible for digging the soil with a small shovel and then putting the bulbs into the hole.

Place the carrots in their proper places.

As for the dirty work of burying the soil, Xiao Xu did it for nothing.

Sometimes she used too much force and almost dug herself down, and Xiao Xubai subconsciously reached out to pull her up.

The little girls all hid to the side, pulled their hands back into their arms and tucked them in like cat paws.

She was troubled and after a long moment of hesitation, she honestly explained the reason, "Xiaobai's paws are dirty! Qingqing will be able to get up on her own~"

Xiao Xubai pursed his lips, his heart felt like it was shot by an arrow.

This was the first time in my life that a girl disliked me.

Qingqing likes small animals, but she doesn't like dirty animals.

basement.

Xiaoxue, who is petite and slender, was carrying a sack that was twice as big as her. After entering, she threw the person to the ground.

"Master, should we tear it apart?" she asked Xiao Qingdai who was sitting in the upper seat.

After receiving the signal, she pulled off the blindfold.

Wang Peng opened his eyes in horror, but before he could see his surroundings clearly, a sweet face appeared in front of him.

"I'm warning you in advance. You should answer honestly whatever the Patriarch asks you. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't."

After a pause, Xiaoxue added grimly, "Since I was able to get you here from City A without alerting anyone, I also have the ability to make you disappear quietly."

Wang Peng whimpered a few times, his eyes filled with tears of fear, and nodded rapidly.

Seeing that he was obedient, Xiaoxue tore off the tape on his mouth and stood behind Xiao Qingdai.

Normally, matters like this would be tried by the lower-level officials, but since it concerned Qingqing, Xiao Qingdai had to come in person.

Wang Peng lay on the ground, feeling enveloped by a cold feeling, so cold that he shivered subconsciously.

Meeting the gaze of the woman above him, he got goosebumps.

So, so scary!

Xiao Qingdai looked down at him condescendingly, with no warmth in her eyes. This perspective, coupled with her thin and cold face, conveyed a sense of compassion for the world.

"What did you see in Qiufeng Park three years ago?"

Wang Peng spent three years in prison and met many inmates. While operating a sewing machine, he once heard a inmate say...

When you meet a truly powerful superior, you can clearly feel that he is different from ordinary people.

Even if they are plain-looking, once they exude the aura of someone who has been in a high position for a long time, you will not dare to act rashly.

So if you meet this kind of people, it is best not to have any bad thoughts in front of them, because they can really see through you at a glance.

Wang Peng felt that the woman he had just spoken to was this type of person.

He didn't dare to hide anything and answered tremblingly. It was just because he was too scared that his words were disjointed and not very clear.

"Three years ago, I went to steal something. When I was scouting the area, I passed by Qiufeng Park. I heard the staff say that all the surveillance cameras inside were broken, so I decided to use this as my escape route."

"On the day I actually committed the crime, I was so nervous that I left several fingerprints in the house. When I came out, I didn't realize it and left along the planned route."

Xiao Qingdai already knew what was said before, but she still listened very carefully, her eyes always on Wang Peng's face, paying attention to his micro-expressions and judging the truthfulness of his words.

So far, nothing has been found to be wrong.

until--

Wang Peng swallowed nervously and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

He seemed to be thinking of some horrible scene, his voice trembling, "When I was passing by Qiufeng Park, I saw someone..."
