C145 (2/2)

Cai Ruo Mu's neck was gripped so tightly that she was unable to breathe. She felt as though her life was about to end. Her embroidered hands kept hitting General Li's hands. Her whole face was red.

Mrs. Cai got up from the ground and held General Li's hand with all her might. ”General, let her go!”

General Li remained expressionless.

Cai Ruo Mu's face turned green, and she seemed to faint along with the passage of time.

Mrs. Cai hastily said, ”General, you can ask her to say anything, but now you have to let her go!”

General Li abruptly let go.

Cai Ruo Mu was about to collapse.

Lady Cai and the two maidservants hurriedly supported her.

Cai Ruomeng breathed in the air heavily.

General Li looked at her expressionlessly. ”Speak, where was the maid that stood by your side last time?”

”Myrtle, Myrtle.” Cai Ruomei shouted.

”Miss, Niu Mei went home in the evening.”

”Home?” Where is her home ”?

Cai Ruomei quickly looked at Diao Mei and told her to speak quickly.

”This servant doesn't know. This servant has been with her for so many years, but she has never mentioned the matters of her family.”

Cai Ruomeng saw General Li's ashen face and asked, ”Does anyone else know where Niu Mei's house is?”

Everyone fell silent.

”Where's that ugly girl?” She should know!

General Li asked, ”There's still someone else. Where's that ugly girl you were talking about?”

Everyone looked at him, ”Miss, where is that ugly girl? ”Why didn't I see her?”

Lady Cai glared at her.

Guqin subconsciously drew back her neck.

General Li looked at her coldly. ”There's someone else in your residence.”

”That's right. That ugly girl and Niu Mei have always been serving Miss.” Gu Qin fearlessly said.

Cai Ruomeng clenched her hands.

General Li's expression changed again and again as he asked, ”That ugly girl, why haven't I seen her before?”

Lady Cai smiled apologetically. ”She's just a little girl. She's ugly.” I don't like to talk in normal times, so we bullied me for fun. ”

Although he said this, General Li still said, ”That ugly girl is currently there.”

Cai Ruomeng couldn't help but swallow her saliva, waiting to see what her mother would say.

Madame Cai was speechless for a moment. But a light flashed in his heart.

And then he said, ”I wonder if I'm with Niu Mei.”

Everyone fell silent.

Although Shou Mei and Xiao Ning knew that their mistress had lied, none of them dared to say a word. Their lives were in her hands.

”Don't any of you know where Ox-Plum is?”

Everyone fell silent. Indeed, they did not know.

At the sound of the house, Jouqin shouted, ”Don't move!” The last time it was a lot of damage. But this time was different. These things might all be his.

Madame Qu followed him as well.

Cai Mengyuan bit her lips, feeling a little unsteady on her feet.

Huaiyu quickly supported her.

”She lives there, I know.” Mrs. Cai quickly said.

General Li smiled. ”Just say it earlier.”

”Have you guys finished searching?”

”General, we've found them all, there's only one room with a locked door.”

The atmosphere suddenly turned solemn again.

General Li's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Cai. ”I don't know. Can you open the door, Madam?”

”It's just a woodshed, what's there to look at?” Lady Cai said with a smile.

General Li's eyes revealed an ominous glint as he said playfully, ”So you're saying that Madam is unwilling?”

Mrs Cai quickly smiled and said, ”How could I not?” ”Shou Mei, go get the key.”

She took the key and gave it to Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai walked in front of the woodshed. Ready to unlock,

General Li smiled and said, ”It's only a woodshed, why do we have to lock it up?”

Mrs Cai's unlocked hand trembled. He was still calm as he said, ”It's usually open, but when it's snowing, I'm afraid the firewood is already wet.”

General Li did not speak. It was unknown whether he would accept it or not.

Shou Mei and Astonishment Lotus were very worried. They had never experienced such a thing. He couldn't help but feel worried.

Mrs. Cai unlocked the door and gestured for General Li to enter.

The torches lit up the woodshed.

General Li examined it carefully.

There was firewood everywhere.

General Li could not help but frown. ”Move all the firewood away.”
