Chapter 241
Zhou Boyan frowned, and called the head of the guard to come in, "Is this why you said there is nothing unusual?"

Not long after, the head of the guard personally went to see the red fruit and vegetable patch under the wall of the mansion where the little wooden man was found. He let out a sigh, checked it carefully again, and then went back and asked Gu Qiang to call Gu Yuanhe who found the little wooden man to go over. The three of them stood together and muttered for a while.

After breakfast, the Ding sister who was picking red fruits in the vegetable bed under the wall suddenly stood up, took something in her hand, threw the basket with a face of horror, and ran towards the inner courtyard. On the way, she almost bumped into several servants. He accidentally dropped what he was holding onto the ground.She hastily squatted down to pick it up, and then hid behind her.However, everyone present could see clearly that what fell to the ground was a little wooden man with a needle stuck in it.

Ding's sister immediately ran away, heading towards the inner courtyard.Not long after, many people saw the younger sister of the Ding family coming from the direction of the inner courtyard, with slap marks on her face and tear stains all over her face, muttering in her mouth like a demon, "It wasn't the servant who did it, Miss, don't send the slave to the official".

But within a quarter of an hour, Mother Su called Ding's younger sister away, and Ding's younger sister did not return to the front yard to work after that.Ding Jiabao ran to find the housekeeper, but the housekeeper lost his temper and locked Ding Jiabao into the woodshed.

The atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became solemn. Reminiscent of the little wooden man with the needle in Ding Jiamei's hand and the words muttered in her mouth, some people went about their own business silently, and some people became active and whispered.

It was getting dark, and there were shadows. The chief guard had already led people to check the inside and outside of the mansion, and then closed the team.In the middle of the night, just after midnight, a black figure tiptoed out from the servant's room, first stopped at the foot of the wall in the northwest corner, imitated a meow, and then threw something through the wall.Black Shadow picked up something, turned around, and finally reached the locked door in the inner courtyard, and stuffed something under the door.

Suddenly, a few figures sprang out from behind, and before the black shadow could make a sound, they covered the black shadow's mouth tightly, twisted his arms behind him, and pressed him to the ground.Someone reached out and took out the thing that had just been stuffed in from under the door.

At dawn, people should do whatever they want, as if nothing happened last night.At noon, there were rumors that Miss Gufu was sick in the town.

Miss Gu got into trouble, Miss Gu went to an unclean place and messed with dirty things, Miss Gu was about to die after being frightened, etc. All kinds of rumors swept through in just a day or two. Most of Kangxi Town.

The Baifu, Shi's, and Cheng's good friends came to investigate the situation, but they were all blocked outside the house one by one.The ancient mansion refuses to see visitors, no matter who comes.Not only that, the townspeople discovered that neither the flavor snack shop opened by Gufu nor the Guji grocery store were open for business.In this way, it confirmed the rumors that Miss Gu's death was on the verge of death.

In the inner courtyard of the ancient mansion, in Qingshu's house, Qingshu, who is dying, is playing and chasing with Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong.A note was pasted on Qingshu's forehead, a note was pasted on his left cheek, a dot was dotted with ink on the tip of his nose, his hands were clasped into claws, he laughed and meowed like a cat, and from time to time he pounced on a Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong fled with smiles on their faces.

The three siblings were making noise in the room, while Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu stood outside the threshold of the room and looked in. Their emotions were more tense and high-spirited than the playful three siblings.Qingshu threw herself at Luo Xiaorong, and they called Master Rong to run; Qingshu threw herself at Qingyang, and they called Master Rong to run.When they were excited, they would dance and dance to remind them which way to run.

Standing outside the locked inner courtyard door, Mother Su shook her head sadly, sighed heavily, and went to the front to find the butler, regardless of the five or six housekeepers in front of her, she wiped her tears with her sleeve, "Master, Miss, this mad disease It's getting worse and worse, it's not a solution to keep the young lady locked up like this, if the young lady doesn't even recognize the young master one day, what can I do if I hurt the young master?"

The housekeeper immediately reprimanded, "Shut up, miss, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Mama Su froze when she wiped her tears, and immediately slapped her own mouth annoyed, "Look at this broken mouth, you can't even talk about it. The young lady is doing well, she is playing with the young masters, having fun! Then What, I still have work to do, so I'm leaving."

As soon as Mama Su left, the butler urged the stunned servants to continue working.

In the kitchen yard, Ling Lan spoke to Xu Sanniang with a worried face, "Is Miss really sick? Good lady, why are you sick!"

Xu Sanniang kneaded her face, with unconcealable sadness in her brows, "Don't talk too much, do your job well." To be honest, she was also worried.Good lady, frightened by the filth, throwing things from time to time, screaming a few times from time to time.What can I do?
Feeling the gloomy atmosphere in the mansion, the chief guard and the butler walking across from each other nodded and passed by.

The chief guard went back to see Zhou Boyan, "My lord, you can close the net now." Now let alone outsiders, they are our own people, except for a few people who knew, everyone believed that Miss Gu was frightened crazy.

Zhou Boyan was playing chess with himself, "Wait a little longer." The last big fish has not been hooked yet, so we need to wait patiently.

In the evening, Qingshu finished her bath, put on her underwear, unwrapped her dry hair, and got ready to go to bed.

Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu lifted the mosquito net, and put it back on after Qingshu went to bed.

Xiaojuan spoke quickly, "Miss, why did the butler lock the door of the inner courtyard and not let us go out?"

Qing Shu yawned, "How do I know? If you're so curious, you can ask the housekeeper tomorrow and you'll find out."

Xiaojuan made a grimace, "No, the housekeeper will scold slaves."

Qing Shu lay down with her eyes squinted, "It's good to know." She also wanted to know what kind of medicine the housekeeper was selling in the gourd.First she was not allowed to leave the mansion, and then she was not even allowed to leave the inner courtyard door.Not only that, even Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu, who were serving her, were not allowed to go out.The three meals a day were delivered by the housekeeper and Mother Su, and handed over to Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan inside the door.Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong were also delivered by the housekeeper and Mother Su every day, and picked up half an hour later.

At this time, the housekeeper always asked Qingyang to bring her a note.And the content of the note either asked her to throw something at a certain point in the inner courtyard, or asked her to stand in the inner courtyard door and scream and curse a few times.Qingshu cooperated once or twice and quit.Then in the next note, the housekeeper said that she had to pretend to be crazy, so as to lead to the people behind the false report of the death in the Gufu shop.

Qing Shu immediately guessed that the people behind the false report about the death in the shop must have followed up.However, why did she pretend to be crazy when she was so good?In the past few days, she cooperates when she is in a good mood, and throws the matter of cooperation out of the blue when she is in a bad mood or lazy.However, the housekeeper just didn't protest, and whether he cooperated or not was entirely up to Qingshu's temperament.
