Chapter 226 They are all here

Qin Sheng didn't say anything after hearing Miss Zhao Er's answer.

He turned around and walked towards the bookshelf. His eyes fell on the rows of neatly arranged books. Most of them were books recording the history of various dynasties.

There are many local customs, geology and landforms on it.

It is strange to have a study room in such a special space in a flower room.

Because the chrysanthemums in the flower room need to be cultivated in the greenhouse, the earth dragon charcoal fire in this room is uninterrupted, and the doors and windows are closed tightly.

The thick chrysanthemums in the house have a faint bitter fragrance, and there is no difference after being there for an hour.

But if you read here for a whole day, how can you bear it?

And if this study doesn’t belong to Miss Zhao Er, then who does it belong to?

The Zhao family came forward. In addition to the second daughter Zhao, who was a legitimate daughter, there were also two young ladies who had never shown up.

Such a luxurious study room cannot be occupied by a concubine. Moreover, Miss Zhao Er has just mentioned her preference for studying books, so this study does not belong to Miss Zhao Er.

Master Zhao?

This thought flashed through Qin Sheng's mind. He worked under Mr. Zhao, so he knew his boss's preferences.

Mr. Zhao dislikes flowers the most. Perhaps because he had a boss named "Peony" when he was young, Mr. Zhao doesn't like to stand among flowers for a long time.

Qin Sheng walked to the bookshelf, reached out and tapped lightly on the bookshelf.

Behind her, Zhao Zhu was panicking. She didn't dare to show it, so she had no choice but to walk to her side and lower her head silently.

Mrs. Zhao frowned tightly, clenched her palms hidden in her sleeves tightly, pursed her lips and bit her back molars.

The subtle strangeness between the Zhao family's mother and daughter gave Xie an idea.

Ms. Xie walked towards Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng heard the footsteps and turned around to see that the person coming was Mrs. Zhang, so he relaxed his vigilance.

The two looked at each other, and Mrs. Xie nodded slightly, signaling Qin Sheng to go check it out and ignore her. She only thought of walking closer to check it out because of the strange behavior of the Zhao family's mother and daughter.

Zhang Dingzhi naturally followed his mother to the bookshelf.

She leaned close to her mother's ear and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what did you find?"

Ms. Xie shook her head gently, "No, I just noticed that the Zhao family's mother and goddess looked strange."

Just as Zhang Dingzhi was about to look back, Ms. Xie grabbed her daughter and winked at her, signaling her not to alarm others.

But several people looked back and forth carefully at the bookshelf, but they didn't find any clues.

The three of them were quite frustrated and didn't want to give up.

Then I heard Mrs. Zhao coming forward and saying: "Master Qin, Mrs. Zhang, Miss Zhang, we have prepared some refreshments outside. How about you go and have a rest first?"

Mrs. Zhao had a smile on her face and was attentive to her kindness.

"No need." Qin Sheng looked at Mrs. Xie and saw that she had no intention of taking a rest, so he rejected Mrs. Zhao's kindness.

"Then Master Qin, do you want to go check somewhere else?"

Mrs. Zhao did not leave, but suggested that Qin Sheng take people to investigate elsewhere.

In this way, Qin Sheng didn't want to leave.

He waved his hand and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Mrs. Zhao, I still want to search here. I would like to ask Mrs. Zhao to step back first."

Mrs. Zhao then gave up and took a few steps back.

Seeing that Qin Sheng seemed to want to push the bookshelf away, he couldn't bring it up at the moment.

Zhang Dingzhi put his right hand on his left wrist and used his fingertips to cut off the pearl bracelet on his wrist. Immediately, the crystal white pearls scattered on the floor.

Some rolled down to Mrs. Zhao's feet, some were scattered at the feet of Qin Sheng, Xie and Zhang Dingzhi, and some were scattered into the gaps at the bottom of the bookshelf.

"Ah! This is the bracelet that the Queen gave me!"

Zhang Dingzhi exclaimed and hurriedly squatted on the ground to pick up the scattered pearls.

Mrs. Xie called her maid to help pick up her daughter's scattered pearls.

Mrs. Zhao's eyelids twitched, and she could only look cautious on her face.

Not long after, many pearls were placed on the handkerchief in Zhang Dingzhi's hand. Zhang Dingzhi counted them and exclaimed: "Three pearls are missing! I guess they just left them under the bookshelf."

As she finished speaking, Qin Sheng called the guards in to help move the bookshelf.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't sit still for a while and hurriedly stopped her: "Master Qin, this is inappropriate!"

"Oh? Mrs. Zhao, I don't know what's wrong with this?" Qin Sheng looked at Mrs. Zhao carefully.

Mrs. Zhao was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to reply. She hesitated and said: "Here, the things in this greenhouse are my master's treasures. If they are damaged, it would be... inappropriate."

In this way, Qin Sheng's previous suspicion was confirmed.

Zhang Dingzhi snorted coldly and chuckled, "Mrs. Zhao, do you want to swallow the pearl that the Queen gave me? Mrs. Zhao is not afraid of the Queen's blame?"

Mrs. Xie looked at her daughter, without any blame in her eyes, and said angrily: "Zhi'er, don't be rude, what is your status now? If these words get out, wouldn't it make people laugh at the fact that we have no rules in our house."

Mrs. Zhao was slightly startled when she saw Mrs. Xie mentioning Zhang Dingzhi's current identity. Now, this young lady from the Zhang family is the future crown princess conferred by the emperor, and will enter the palace and become the queen in the future.

If you offend her today, you will inevitably cause trouble in the future.

But if the secret behind the bookshelf is discovered, it will kill the Zhao family.

It was difficult for her to balance for a moment.

He simply felt cruel and said: "Master Qin, can I send the maid from the mansion to deal with it?"

This was already the biggest concession. Qin Sheng couldn't refuse anymore, so he said: "Then it will cause trouble to Mrs. Zhao."

Mrs. Zhao ordered her nuns to find some strong maids.

Not long after, the bookshelf was moved away, and the wall behind the bookshelf was covered with a layer of black-painted wooden boards.

Qin Sheng stepped forward to take a look, and Mrs. Zhao hurriedly explained: "The master said that he was afraid that the bookshelf was next to the wall, and the cold air on that side would invade the books over time, causing the books to become moldy and wormy, so he specially put more work on the wall behind the bookshelf.

A piece of wood was used as a barrier."

This argument makes sense.

Zhang Dingzhi walked to the place where the bookshelf was placed, picked up the three pearls left on the ground, and put them away carefully.

Mrs. Zhao stared at Zhang Dingzhi closely, fearing that she would do something else again.

Zhang Dingzhi stood up slowly while holding on to the wooden board on the wall. When she stood firm, she clasped her hands in a circle, banged the wooden board several times, and said loudly: "I don't know why I am so unlucky today. The Queen is sending me a gift."

My bracelet broke off for no reason, what a bad luck!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she hit the black painted wooden board a few more times.

It's like venting your dissatisfaction.

Song Jinyue in the secret room suddenly heard a movement and sat up suddenly. She leaned sideways on the wooden board and listened carefully.

When I heard the voice outside, it was indeed Cousin Zhi's voice.

She hurriedly slapped the wooden board and shouted loudly to Cousin Zhi outside: "Cousin Zhi, Cousin Zhi, Cousin Zhi."

Zhang Dingzhi's palm was still pressed against the wooden board, and the faint vibration aroused her alertness.

She leaned closer and looked shocked when she heard the voice inside.
