The younger Chu Xuan got, the more afraid he became. The more afraid he became, the more he thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out, so he ran to his father's study again.
In the Diecui Courtyard, the old lady was unconscious, and the young master was crying and looking for someone. Nanny Chang was at a loss and could only report to the front yard: "The jade bracelet that the old lady usually wore was replaced with an inferior one, and the contents of the jewelry box are also missing. I'm afraid she has offended some immortal."
This god is too greedy. He even takes things from the hands of living people. It is understandable that the things were stolen.
All the servants in the hospital interrogated, imprisoned, and beat people. Three or four people were beaten to death, but nothing was found out. They even said that they had not seen a stranger in several days. They didn't believe it themselves if it wasn't the intervention of the gods.
With such a big commotion, the Marquis' Mansion naturally could not hide it. Even the kitchen maids were at a loss. The food in the small warehouse had been almost cooked in the past few days. Now they heard that the big warehouse had been robbed and even the rice for cooking was gone.
"Young Master, the old lady hasn't woken up yet. Should we call the imperial physician?" Nanny Chang asked Chu Xuan cautiously, his face ashen and not knowing what to do.
Chu Xuan couldn't calm down, and waved his hands in anger: "Isn't there a palace doctor? Just go and ask for it. You are so impatient, and you still bother me at this time."
The two women in the mansion were lying dead on the bed, and now all the trivial matters were thrown to him. How could Chu Xuan care about these things? His scalp was tingling just listening to them, and he just wanted to kick them out.
Seeing the situation was not looking good, the head butler hurried forward to report, "The court physician came to see the Marquis and the Crown Prince two days ago, saying that the old lady at home was ill and he needed to go back to tend to her. He looked anxious and uneasy, so it was obvious that it was true. He didn't find the two masters, so he left a letter and went back."
"When did you say you'd be back?" When it rains, it pours. The more urgent the situation becomes, the more things get done. Chu Xuan almost wanted to hammer the wall.
"They say...they say the old lady might not be able to get through this time. She should be in mourning and might not be able to come back. She packed up all her things and left."
"Ridiculous, go outside and invite them, do you still need to report it?"
After Nanny Chang left, Chu Xuan was almost going crazy with anxiety: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and report to the police! Report to the police!"
After thinking about it, he felt that something was not right, so he hurried back to the old marquis' study. He had to do everything himself now, and he ran so much that his legs were almost broken.
Chu Xuan was exhausted and continued to slump: "If we report it to the authorities, the whole capital will know. The Fourth Prince will definitely get the news."
"Don't report? What else can we do? Will we all starve? Report, report quickly." When the Marquis thought that the entire mansion was empty and even the little fortune he had secretly saved was gone, his head split with pain and he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He was afraid that he would become an abandoned child without money. The mansion could not be supported, let alone the concubine he kept outside.
"What's the use of those two women? They can't even guard the gate of the mansion. Where has such a big mess ever happened before?"
The two men thought about the ten years since Jing Qiurong came into the house. The servants were well-managed and everything in the mansion was in perfect order. Even the two illegitimate sons did not cause any trouble and never gave them any worries. Then they thought about how such a big thing had happened. No one in Diecuiyuan could wake up, and the one in Liuxuyuan, who wanted to be the mistress of the house, was staying in the courtyard to recuperate. It was really infuriating. The father and son didn't even have the strength to speak.
……
"Get up, get up, hurry up and get ready, we will set off in two quarters of an hour." Just as the sky was getting light, the shouting of the officers started again.
"Why are you so early today?"
"I feel like I was just confused for a while. I'm exhausted."
"Slow down, you're pressing on me."
"damned……"
In the several large bunk beds, after each complaint, there was immediately a flurry of noises: sounds of getting up, opening doors, snatching, and even pushing and swearing. Within a few days, the vulgar words and actions that they usually disliked began to appear in those rooms.
"Sanlang and Silang, hurry up, go and occupy the toilet first, Erlang and I will go get some water."
"Okay! Let me put on some clothes."
"What are you wearing? Put it on, or you won't freeze to death."
"Slow down, don't fall."
……
"Uncle Xiaobei, father needs another dose of medicine. Thank you for your hard work. I'll be out first."
"Go ahead, Third Master. I'll wipe the old general's face first and apply the medicine right away so we don't delay anything."
"I'll go get some food first to avoid queuing later. Father isn't awake yet."
……
On the men's bunk bed in the General's Mansion, Dalang's voice was particularly loud. Although Jing Changning spoke slowly, he moved very quickly.
Erlang and Sanlang responded whenever they were called, while Silang was not very sober and looked lazy, but no one was in a mess at all. The atmosphere was harmonious and cooperative. It was true that the people in the General's Mansion were always calm in the face of danger.
On the female side, Frosting was the first to speak: "Hey! Masters, don't worry. I was the first one to fetch water, and it's still steaming hot. We can wash in the house, no need to squeeze with them."
Sugar Frosting was the quickest. She had slept fully clothed last night, and she jumped out as soon as the official's voice was heard. Now she came over to support the old lady, "Old lady, please slow down. No one needs to squeeze in with them if they don't need to use the main toilet. It stinks. There's a clean toilet in the courtyard. I brought it in last night and put it behind the door. I'll help you over."
The old lady said: "Child, you are so smart and so fast."
Frosting: ...I was praised again. It turns out that I am not stupid, it’s just that no one knows how good she is, or the young master has a keen eye for talent.
"Hehe! ~~I sleep with my clothes on." Being praised for being smart again, Tang Shuang became restless. There was no light on, and not much light from outside came in through the small window, so she couldn't see her expression. Otherwise, she would have noticed that the corners of her mouth were like crescent moons, almost bending to her nose.
"Sister Xi, get up." Jing Mingyue gently rocked Jing Chunxi who was sleeping soundly. The new quilt exuded a faint fragrance. It was the early winter season, which was neither too cold nor too hot. Jing Chunxi was like a lazy bug and would not wake up unless called.
"Hehe! Auntie, I'm not a lazy pig. Look, cousin Xi is staying in bed. She is the lazy pig." The voice of glutinous rice dumpling was very loud. It didn't look like he had just woken up. He was lively and energetic again after waking up.
"Hey kid, don't talk bad about your cousin. She walked all day yesterday and was very tired. But you were riding in a cart."
"Hehe! Got it! Auntie, hurry up and get dressed for me, Tuanzi, go wake her up." Yesterday, someone was whipped by the police because he walked too slowly. It hurts so much just thinking about it.
Madam Jing still felt sorry for her granddaughter and wanted her to stay in bed a little longer. Instead, she urged the others, "Hurry up and get up, wash up, and pack your things. Let the child sleep a little longer. She must have been tired yesterday."
Zhuang also laughed: "It's because the quilt is too fragrant, without the smell of stinky feet, that Xijie can't bear to open her eyes."
