Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

The next morning.

When Cao Mi woke up, Qi You had already left. She realized with hindsight that she actually slept in the same bed with an adult man for one night.

The only good thing is that nothing happened.

Cao Mi patted his chest in fear, and then got up to wash up.

In the afternoon, she called Dongli and asked about Xia Lin's situation.

After learning last night that Cao Mi had decided to release her from the mansion, Xia Lin seemed to have really let go of the affairs of the mansion. She even took the initiative to find Nanxi and started the final cut with her.

Cao Mi frowned, "I heard from her last night that she has a bamboo horse outside the palace that has been waiting for her to leave the palace. If you think about it, she has already made arrangements for her after leaving the palace."

Dong Li nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, the servants look at it, Xia Lin really hopes to leave the house soon."

Cao Mi nodded and reminded: "If that's the case, then she will definitely make a decision with Chen Kang before leaving. There are less than three days left in the half-month period that Chen Kang and the casino agreed to, so tell the people over there. , be sure to keep an eye on it these few days!"

Dong Li saluted and ordered, "This servant knows."

On the second day, something strange appeared on Chen Kang's side.

Dongli came to report that someone caught Chen Kang and Xia Lin having a long conversation in a remote part of the mansion. About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Kang left with an exquisite wooden box.

Cao Mi knew that the opportunity was coming, so he made up an excuse and wanted to go directly to Chen Kang's room to search.

When she brought Dong Li and his party to Chen Kang's door, Chen Kang was blocking the door of his room, preventing Bei Si and others from entering.

Seeing Cao Mi's arrival, Chen Kang's complexion changed greatly, and he was busy bending over to salute with the crowd, concealing the surprise on his face.

Cao Mi asked everyone to get up and explained to Chen Kang, Xia Lin and others who were still stunned, "I lost a box of jewelry, gold and silver in my room, and a decent person found it, but I heard that Steward Chen had it in his hands this morning. Holding a delicate wooden box?"

Chen Kang shuddered, and hurriedly knelt down to defend, "Princess Mingcha, Xiao, the little man's wooden box, how, how could it be the princess' jewelry box!"

Cao Mi nodded, "I thought so too, so I came here in a hurry, wanting to make Chen Manager clean."

"This, this... villain..." In the winter, cold sweat broke out on Chen Kang's forehead.

He lost his words and could only repeat dully: "The villain is indeed innocent."

Cao Mi smiled, "I know, then Steward Chen will step aside, so that Beisi can go in and take out the wooden box, so that everyone can see it clearly."

Xia Lin stepped forward with a frown and persuaded: "Madam... Manager Chen is an old man in the house, how could he possibly commit theft? The people who have been serving in your room these days are Taozi and Dongli. The servant thinks that it is better to send someone to the servant's yard as soon as possible..."

"I've already called someone over there." Cao Mi turned to look at her.

Xia Lin's face was pale at this time, and he was no longer calm. This also made Cao Mi more and more sure that today's actions really stepped on their sore spot.

With Cao Mi in charge, Chen Kang knelt down on the ground and didn't dare to move, and Beisi broke into the door smoothly.

Suddenly there was a sound of flipping things in the room, and after a while, Beisi returned to the courtyard holding a delicate wooden box.

When Xia Lin saw him come out, he immediately said, "How could such a rough thing be in the princess' room?"

Cao Mi directly ordered: "Open."

Beisi answered "yes" and pulled the cover straight away.

Under the eyes of the public, I saw that the wooden box with two palms was actually clean and there was nothing!

The people around held their breath and forgot to speak for a while. Only Chen Kang, who was kneeling on the ground, cried and walked a few steps, shouting with tears and tears, "Princess, princess, the villain is confused!"

Cao Mi hadn't regained his senses when he heard Xia Lin shout, "Okay, Chen Kang, what are you doing hiding an empty wooden box in the house? I'm so tired that the princess ran away for nothing!"

Her words sounded like a rebuke, but actually reminded Chen Kang - the box was empty!

Chen Kang was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and said directly: "Yes, the villain is confused! The villain usually likes these good-looking things, look, see this box is unique, just hide it!"

After thinking about it, there was a kind of joy in the rest of his life hidden in his voice, "The villain is guilty! The villain is guilty!"

Cao Mi's anger was surging in his chest, and he could hardly maintain the expression on his face.

She took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the servant didn't see it clearly, so he reported it. But after this investigation, the charge of Steward Chen was cleared, and it was not a waste of time."

"This way..." Cao Mi thought for a while, and said, "Nanxi, you bring Steward Chen to the front yard, and invite a doctor to come and see for Steward Chen. Today, he was frightened, so don't get sick. "

At this moment, Chen Kang sat paralyzed on the ground, with a pale face, laughing and crying on his face, looking like he was insane.

Nanxi stepped forward to salute and said, "Yes."

Cao Mi nodded, "Well, let the others follow me back to the hospital and look for it again. The sky is so full, I don't believe that the big mouse can really escape?"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the yard. The servants who had gathered here also followed behind her and exited one after another.

For a time, in front of Chen Kang's gate, which had squeezed dozens of people, it became empty again.

Xia Lin seemed to have something hidden in her heart, and refused a maid who wanted to come and help her, and walked behind the team alone.

After turning into the promenade, she stopped suddenly, leaned against the pillar and sneered at the shadow behind the corner, "Heh. Over the years, no matter how I tried to pull you in, you were indifferent. I thought You really have no desires, why are you willing to help me today?"

She paused, as if remembering a joke, and said, "Could it be that you finally remember our long-term sisterhood?"

The people behind her were obviously reluctant to talk to her. Seeing that she was blocked at the entrance of the promenade, they simply took a detour and left.

Before leaving, she left a cold sentence, "Idiot."

Xia Lin stood there, covered his mouth for a long time and sneered.
