After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?
Chapter 5: A story about a handkerchief (1)
"Hey hey hey, you you you, why are you here?" Sheng Minglan pulled Yu Yanran a little nervously.
"Sixth Miss, would you like to analyze what's wrong?" Han Ming folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the rockery, with a strong smile in his eyes.
"I, I, I, how would I know..." Sheng Minglan said weakly.
"That's a shame, Yuan Ruo. I just saw Su Qing being called away by the eldest lady of the Sheng family. I'm afraid she'll get a beating. It's really pitiful for this little girl!"
Han Ming's sighing look frightened the two young girls who were not very worldly-wise.
"Your stepmother is so amazing. She found the thief so quickly." Yu Yanran sighed in a daze.
"Found it already?" Sheng Minglan looked incredulous and surprised.
"Yes, I found it." Qi Heng replied in a falsely calm tone.
"Fortunately, your stepmother found the little thief, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to the young master." Yu Yanran bowed to Qi Heng and said in a low voice.
"But...she's just a maid, why would he steal the handkerchief?" Sheng Minglan asked in some confusion.
"It must be for the purpose of selling it for money!" Yu Yanran's simple and thoughtless words made Han Ming smile.
"No," Sheng Minglan was lost in thought, completely forgetting the two men standing before her. "If she wanted to steal money, then the young master had so many things on him that were more valuable than the handkerchief. Why didn't she steal them?"
Sheng Minglan's words confused Yu Yanran, and she began to think.
"If it's not for stealing money... then..." Yu Yanran seemed to have thought of something, looked at Qi Heng in surprise, and then pulled Sheng Minglan aside, "Then it must be..."
These unspoken words made Sheng Minglan's eyes widen. She thought of the answer, and then the two of them laughed at each other.
Then they thought of Han Ming and the others who were still there, and their cheeks suddenly turned red with shame. They stammered and didn't dare to speak.
But the next second, Han Ming shook his head slightly, stared at Sheng Minglan and said, "That's not right."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Han Ming in confusion, only Sheng Minglan had a flash of inspiration and realized the problem.
"Yes, if...if...if it's because you're obsessed with the young master, then you must do everything you can to keep this handkerchief on you!"
"Just now, when my father was in the hall and said he wanted to look for the handkerchief, she must have heard it from there. But we just passed by this road, back and forth, and we could have just thrown the handkerchief on the side of the road. That would have absolved us of any responsibility."
"You can pick it up again anytime. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
Sheng Minglan's analysis instantly shocked Yu Yanran and Qi Heng, especially Qi Heng, whose love was so strong that it almost flowed out of his eyes.
"Then...then...then what is this..." Yu Yanran asked nervously, stuttering.
"The person who stole the handkerchief must have passed by her and casually stuffed it on her. She didn't notice it, so it was found out."
The more Sheng Minglan spoke, the more certain she became, and Yu Yanran's heart was filled with shock.
"You said it was a frame-up? Then why didn't the framer just throw the handkerchief on the side of the road instead of shoving it on Suqin?"
"Because that person can't be thrown to the side of the road." Sheng Minglan pursed her lips and slowly spit out an answer.
"No...no...I don't understand?" Yu Yanran asked in a silly way.
"That's right, the one who stole the handkerchief. She couldn't come, she couldn't get out, she couldn't throw it by the roadside, so she was trapped in that hall..."
"She was wronged, she was wronged..." Sheng Minglan got the answer and couldn't help but feel anxious. She was about to go to the eldest lady to plead for mercy.
"If you tell your stepmother like this, she won't believe you. Besides, if you say that, it will damage her reputation and will only add fuel to the fire. The maid might even be punished more severely..."
Yu Yanran held Sheng Minglan back, not wanting her to be in danger.
"Why don't we go find the young master and ask him to plead for mercy?"
"No, the young master is a outsider..." Before Sheng Minglan finished her words, a burst of laughter was heard.
"Hahahaha, awesome, really awesome!" Han Ming clapped his hands and laughed, his eyes full of admiration. No wonder this person could become the protagonist. With this kind of brain, she is really not comparable to those sisters of the Sheng family.
"Ah! Why are you still here?" Sheng Minglan and Yu Yanran came to their senses and looked at Han Ming and the others.
"I've been talking about this for so long that I'm almost dying of it." Han Ming wordlessly stuffed the handkerchief into Qi Heng's arms and was about to return to the hall to have tea.
"No, this...this..." Sheng Minglan was a little unsure what was going on with Han Ming.
"Sixth sister, you are a talented person in the boudoir, but you are like an old official who solves cases. Also, we have been classmates for many years, so how come I became a male guest from outside?" Qi Heng teased Sheng Minglan with some amusement and a hint of resentment.
"Young Master, please atone for your sins. Let's go find our second brother first..." As she said that, Sheng Minglan dragged Yu Yanran away.
"No need, your second brother has already gone. I was deeply touched by what Sixth Sister said just now!" Qi Heng was still trying to flirt.
"Ah? This, this, this?" Sheng Minglan and Yu Yanran both stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"Thanks to Brother Han, who discovered the problem early and asked Brother Sheng to find Suqin, the handkerchief was retrieved and Suqin was spared from punishment."
Qi Heng was honest and told everything in detail.
Then, Sheng Minglan and Yu Yanran stared at Han, who was fiddling with flowers and plants, with puzzled and resentful eyes.
"Why are you so fond of playing tricks on others?" Sheng Minglan instantly understood the situation and knew that it was Han Ming who had been guiding and hinting at her to think about the problem from the very beginning.
"Haha, who made Sixth Miss so flustered that she couldn't even see the trap I was setting?"
The moment Han Ming mentioned Suqin's name, it meant that they had already looked for Suqin and knew that the handkerchief was with her.
Under normal circumstances, Sheng Minglan could still grasp the clues, but under the pressure of Qi Heng and Han Ming's hint of punishment as a prerequisite, the little girl Sheng Minglan still jumped into the circle obediently.
"I, I, I, Sister Yanran!" Sheng Minglan was so angry that she stuttered and stomped her feet, and she grabbed Yu Yanran to complain.
"Brother Jingyuan, why do you tease others like this?" Yu Yanran said while protecting Sheng Minglan.
"Hehe..." Han Ming shrugged, chuckled, turned around and left. After all, the show was over.
"Sixth sister, I..." Qi Heng wanted to say something else, but Han Ming directly hooked his shoulders and dragged him into the hall.
"Stop talking so much. It's getting late. We won't be able to make it to dinner soon."
Qi Heng, who was dragged away by Han Ming, looked helpless and speechless. "I still want to say a few more words to my sixth sister! How can you be so unromantic?"
But Qi Heng still maintained his composure, smiled gently at Sheng Minglan, and left with Han Ming.
"Sister Yanran, you must be careful with the Han family's boy in the future. He has so many tricks up his sleeve and is definitely not someone who is easy to get along with." Sheng Minglan complained angrily.
"No, Brother Jingyuan is just a bit casual and likes to joke around. He's actually a very nice person, honest, kind, polite, humble and respectful..."
Seeing Yu Yanran lost in her own fantasy, Sheng Minglan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and had no choice but to drag the girl towards her boudoir.
Xiaotao and the other one at the back couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, looking like they were watching a show.
