"It's good that you know this, but you will gain intelligence if you suffer a setback. When we find that Zhao San, I will help you teach him a lesson." The thin man patted his chest like a good brother.

"F * ck, don't let laozi catch him, or else let him have a good time!"

The two of them walked away, arms around each other's shoulders.

Feng Ranchen slept until the afternoon. Perhaps because she had rested well, Feng Ranchen's head no longer ached and the temperature had dropped.

Feng Ranchen rubbed her sore legs and looked out the window. The sun was high in the sky, warming the yard.

Feng Ranchen felt an itch in her heart. It would be a pity if she didn't go out for a walk in such good weather.

Just as Feng Ranchen was about to get off the bed, Hong Xiu walked in. She was holding a box of food, and a fragrant aroma wafted into the air.

Feng Ranchen got off the bed with a grunt. It was only then that she realized that she hadn't eaten for almost an entire day.

"Second Young Madame, you're finally awake. Your servant has prepared something for you." Hong Xiu placed the food box on the table and then turned around to serve Feng Ranchen as she changed her clothes.

Feng Ranchen remained silent as she allowed Hong Xiu to change her clothes. It wasn't until she was sitting at the table picking up her chopsticks that she asked Hong Xiu this question in an indifferent tone.

"Where were you this morning?"

Hong Xiu, who was busy preparing food for Feng Ranchen, froze for a moment. She looked at Feng Ranchen strangely and replied, "Today, I will stay by Second Young Madame's side until I go to the kitchen to get food. Could it be that Second Young Madame doesn't remember? "

Feng Ranchen's chopsticks were raised in the air as she turned her head stiffly to look at Hong Xiu. "So, you were here all morning?"

"That's right, Second Young Madame, you were awake during that time. This servant even asked you if you need breakfast, but Second Young Madame, you're probably too tired. You only needed to mumble for a bit before falling asleep again." Saying that, Hong Xiu covered her mouth and laughed.

"This servant can't bear to disturb Second Young Madame any longer. I have to stay in the room until Second Young Madame shows signs of waking up. Then, this servant will immediately have someone bring the things I prepared." Hong Xiu continued to speak on her own, unaware that Feng Ranchen's expression had already changed.

How could this be? Feng Ranchen's hands were trembling. How could this be? Could it be that she was dreaming?

"Is there a servant girl called Xiao Qing in the mansion?" Even though Feng Ranchen already had a thought in her mind, she still couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Qing …" There was a hint of hesitation in Hong Xiu's voice.

"Do you or do you not?" Feng Ranchen simply put down her chopsticks and glared at Hong Xiu.

Being startled by Feng Ranchen's gaze, Hong Xiu quickly said, "Yes, yes. It's just that, she disappeared a long time ago."

Feng Ranchen exclaimed, "Missing? How could it be missing?"

"Yeah." Hong Xiu thought of the girl.

"Do you know her?" Listening to Hong Xiu's tone, Feng Ranchen had a hunch that Hong Xiu knew something.

Hong Xiu nodded. "Before we even entered the mansion, this girl had already disappeared. Your servant has also heard of some things regarding her from the people below."

The girl in the same room as Hong Xiu had played with Xiao Qing before, so Hong Xiu had also heard about these things from the girl.

"This Xiao Qing was originally just a sloppy girl. However, because of her looks, she was promoted to be a first-rate girl and placed in the courtyard of the Eldest Young Master." It's just that perhaps it's because my identity has changed, so I want more things. "

Xiao Qing wasn't satisfied with her status as a servant girl. Once, she had drugged the Eldest Young Master and wanted to climb out of bed. However, before she could meet the Eldest Young Master, she was discovered by another servant girl.

That servant girl had used torture on Xiao Qing without notifying the eldest young master. Xiao Qing had been beaten into a bloody mess, and many people had seen her on her deathbed when she was carried out.

"Then why did he disappear?" Logically speaking, this type of maid should have long been expelled from the estate. Moreover, from what Hong Xiu said, this maid probably didn't even have a chance to survive.

"This, this servant is also not too clear on this." Anyway, some people said that Eldest Young Master was merciful and did not expel Xiao Qing from the estate. He even arranged for a doctor to treat her illness. However, a few days after Xiao Qing recovered from her illness, she suddenly disappeared. No one ever found her again. "

"Never found it?" Feng Ranchen's eyes flashed with fear.

"Hmm, from now on, no one will see her again."

"Then who was it that I saw?" Feng Ranchen said in a low voice.

"En, Second Young Madame, what did you say?" Hong Xiu couldn't hear him clearly. She leaned over and asked Feng Ranchen.

Feng Ranchen shook her head, flustered. "No, no, I didn't say anything. You heard wrong."

With that, he acted as if he was hiding something. He picked up the bowl and started to eat. However, if only his hands weren't shaking like that …

Although Hong Xiu was a little curious, Second Young Madame had already spoken. She could only swallow her words and stand at the side, but she still couldn't help but secretly size up Second Young Madame.

Second Young Madame had been sleeping for such a long time, but she could still see the dark blue in the depths of her eyes.

Feng Ranchen finished her lunch and sat on the chair in a daze with a cup of tea in her hand.

After Hong Xiu let the little girl come in and clear away the leftovers, she looked at Feng Ranchen who seemed to be in a daze and said softly, "Second Young Madame, today's weather is very good. Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Mm, let's go." Feng Ranchen placed the untouched tea on the table, stood up and took the cloak from Hong Xiu, rubbing her face.

Maybe she was imagining things.

Feng Ranchen stood outside the house. The sun was shining warmly on her face, and she felt her whole body become warm. The bit of nervousness in her heart had completely disappeared.

"Greetings, Second Young Madame." Some of the servants put down their work and greeted Feng Ranchen.

Feng Ranchen nodded and didn't stop walking.

"What is this?" Suddenly, Feng Ranchen heard a curious voice.

Feng Ranchen stopped and turned her head to look at the person who spoke.

It was a servant wearing coarse clothes. He was holding a stick and poking at a pile of wild grass with curiosity. Suddenly, the servant let out a loud shout and fell to the ground. He retreated continuously, as if he had seen something terrifying.

"What's wrong?" Feng Ranchen asked with her brows knitted.

"Corpse, corpse, there's a corpse here." The servant pointed deep into the grass and kept shouting.

After hearing the servant's words, the group of people hurriedly surrounded him, but no one dared to approach him.
