The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Chapter 450 Did you steal it?

The snapping sound attracted Ye Yuxiao's full attention. Under the gentle and virtuous appearance of Mrs. Zuo Shanggong, is she actually a bad-tempered person? Did she hide her true nature in order to be the wife of Zuo Shangong?

Ye Yuxiao walked away for a while and said, "My maid, Xiaozhan, only came into contact with Zhuo Qiao on the way back home with Lotus Bai. This bamboo tube cannot grow wings on its own and fly away. It must have been adjusted by Zhuo Qiao. Bao, are you right?"

Mrs. Zuo Shanggong didn't seem to believe it: "Zhuo Qiao is my dowry maid, what is she doing in vain by stealing lotus flowers? If my poison cannot be cured, what good can she do?"

Don't ask her this question, Zhuo Qiao is not her maid, she doesn't understand. She was simply stating facts. Ye Yuxiao bent down to pick up the curtain hat and handed it to Mrs. Zuo Shanggong: "Without the lotus white, I can't do anything. The most urgent thing is to find them quickly. I'm afraid that if I delay for a long time, they have been taken care of." died."

Kill Lotus White? Doesn't that mean killing her indirectly? Mrs. Zuo Shanggong was so anxious that she turned around a few times, covered her head with a curtain hat, and walked out: "I'm going to go find that maid and ask her for details."

"Don't!" Ye Yuxiao hurriedly grabbed her, "Don't alert the enemy, otherwise I will tell you this in the hall, why bother to find an excuse to come here?"

"Then I'll go find Amu!" Mrs. Zuo Shanggong made another decision decisively.

This is not her matter alone. It would be best to discuss it with Hu Yanmu. Ye Yuxiao let go of his hand.

Mrs. Zuo Shanggong rushed out of the door, the wind blew her curtain hat, and the gauze floated high.

After a while, Hu Yanmu followed her and came in with a solemn expression.

When Ye Yuxiao saw him like this, he knew that Mrs. Zuo Shanggong had told him everything. She stopped elaborating and asked directly: "How does Master Zuo plan to find Lotus White?"

Hu Yanmu's thinking was clear and his words were concise: "Let's investigate secretly first and search her room. If we can't find her, we will have no choice but to be sentenced to death."

Ye Yuxiao nodded: "Since Zuo Shanggong has already established the charter, I won't be verbose."

Hu Yanmu was upset and subconsciously unbuttoned the collar. After thinking about it, he felt it was wrong and put his hand down: "The last detoxification will be carried out in three days. If the lotus white is still not found by then, what should I do? ?”

"I will try my best to find another way." Ye Yuxiao said, "I will try to send a letter to Tan Shizhao to see if he still has lotus white."

If there is a way, there is hope. Hu Yanmu didn't waste any time and gave Ye Yuxiao a fist hug: "Then please leave it to Madam."

This was a race against time, so Ye Yuxiao said goodbye without further delay.

"Amu!" Mrs. Zuo Shanggong rushed towards Huyanmu, but the curtain hat blocked her and Huyanmu.

If this poison cannot be cured in the end, will there always be a curtain between him and the fisherman? Hu Yanmu suddenly felt a lot of emotions and held her hand tightly: "You ask Zhuo Qiao to help you bathe and change clothes. I will take this time to search her room."

"Really Zhuo Qiao stole Lotus White?" Mrs. Zuo Shanggong still didn't believe it, or rather, she didn't want to believe it. "She is my dowry maid. She can't get away with harming me."

"We'll find out if it's her. If she really did it, there will definitely be clues." Hu Yanmu straightened her hat and held her shoulders down to calm her down and stop being so so. Anxiously, "It's true that she is your dowry maid, but she is not someone who waits on you. She was bought temporarily before you got married. She doesn't know everything about her, right?"

She was a fisher girl. Before she met Huyanmu, she was so poor that she was about to be sold into slavery. How could she find a servant? Later, she was going to marry Hu Yanmu, so to cover up her appearance, she hurriedly bought two maids, one of whom was Zhuo Qiao.

Who can guarantee that she will be 100% loyal to someone who becomes her maid halfway? Mrs. Zuo Shanggong stopped talking.

"Good boy, call Zhuo Qiao and trip her up so that I can have a chance to search the house." Hu Yanmu stroked her shoulder and gently pushed her outward.

Mrs. Zuo Shanggong nodded and called Zhuo Qiao to help her bathe and change clothes so that she could get rid of the alcohol smell.

Hu Yanmu sneaked into Zhuo Qiao's house without using any manpower and searched it carefully. However, there was no trace of Lotus White in the house, nor were there any objects related to bamboo tubes or flying insects.

After Mrs. Zuo Shanggong finished taking a bath, the couple gathered together again to exchange information. Mrs. Zuo Shanggong was worried: "Is there really no lotus white in the house? Are you sure you have searched every corner?"

"No." Hu Yanmu shook his head, "This is Huaiyuanyi's house. The layout is simple and there are not many boxes and cages. There is no way that anything can be missed."

"That……"

"Torture." Hu Yanmu didn't hesitate at all.

Mrs. Zuo Shanggong looked unbearable: "She has been serving me for so many years. Why don't you let me ask her first?"

"It's not necessary." Hu Yanmu snorted coldly, "There must be a traitor around us. There is no doubt about it. Otherwise, who put the poison on your body?"

Mrs. Zuo Shanggong had nothing to say, she only felt a cold air rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Hu Yanmu didn't want his wife to see the blood, so he took people alone to change Zhuo Qiao's house into a torture chamber, and then brought Zhuo Qiao back.

"Tell me, did Lianhuabai ask you to hide him, or did he kill you?" Hu Yanmu looked at Zhuo Qiao, who was tied up with flowers on the ground, and knocked on the coffee table.

At this time, Zhuo Qiao already knew why Hu Yanmu tied her up, and he cried out: "Master, would you rather trust an outsider than a slave?"

Hu Yanmu smiled and raised his hand. Immediately, a guard brought over a plate of snacks. The snacks on the plate were all kinds of miscellaneous, and they were all the specialties of the Xi Dynasty capital.

Hu Yanmu pointed to the plate of snacks and asked her, "This is the Xichao snack that you went out specifically to buy for your wife that day. Do you still remember it?"

Zhuo Qiao nodded.

Hu Yanmu picked out a piece and asked her, "What is this?"

Zhuo Qiao replied: "Sir, this is a snail soaked in butter."

"Ghee-soaked snails." Hu Yanmu repeated, half-smiling, "Which store did you buy it from?"

Zhuo Qiao was stunned. At that time, she was conspiring with Xue Jingyu in the teahouse. Xia He bought the snacks. She didn't know which store they were in.

If this was in Wujie, she could just talk about one family casually, but she expected that even if Huyanmu went to check, he wouldn't be able to find anything. However, this was Daxi, and she was too unfamiliar to make up the name of the store, so she had to answer vaguely: "I can't remember."

"Can't you remember?" Hu Yanmu's half-smile turned into a sneer, "You went to buy snacks for Madam, didn't you look for the most famous old shop in Xichao Capital? Since it is the most famous old shop in Xichao Capital, Why can’t I remember the name of the store?”

Amid his sneer, Zhuo Qiao was dripping with cold sweat and his face turned pale.

Hu Yanmu stood up slowly, walked over step by step, and bent down: "Tell me, where is Lian Hua Bai?!"
