Early the next morning, the entire third and fourth courtyards of the second room of the Qi family exploded with the arrival of the government.
"Miss, miss."
"What's wrong?"
Chu Rao turned over in a daze, her little face was flushed and she was sleeping soundly, she had never been able to get up at all.
"Wake up, Miss!
The official has come to search the chessboard!
Yun Zhu stretched out her hand and patted Chu Rao's back through the quilt, anxious, and didn't dare to make a heavy hand, so she could only say it over and over again.
Chu Rao, who was sleeping soundly, heard the word "official", and a carp got up straight, staring at a pair of almond eyes that were still a little foggy, "You mean that Qi Su found someone from the official to search the yard?"
” Yunzhu nodded vigorously in a hurry.
How could it be, Chu Rao lowered her head and said secretly, she always felt that with Qi Su's temperament, he was so afraid of trouble, and it was the most impossible to report to the official.
So she calmed down yesterday, but she was calm, and she was still busy wondering whether she should get the letter of resignation according to other people's wishes, but after thinking about it, she was unwilling to fall into the way of the wicked.
After weighing it like this all night, the chessboard was still in the courtyard, who knew that Qi Su could report to the government so quickly, it seems that he really cherishes this chessboard.
"Miss, why don't we throw it in the well, so they won't be able to find it."
Yunzhu was sick and rushed to the doctor, so he wanted to get the chessboard and throw it away in a panic.
"Don't!"
Chu Rao grabbed Yunzhu's sleeve, "If they bring all the things they bring, you can catch them even if you throw them in the lake." ” What's more, Qi Su likes this chessboard so much, she can't throw it away, otherwise what is the difference between her and a real thief.
"The slave is secretly putting it in another courtyard now?"
"If someone sees it at this time, it's even more intelligible."
Chu Rao regretted it in her heart, and blamed her for not asking Yunzhu to throw it out early yesterday.
"Miss, where should I hide it?
The slave is afraid..."
Yun Zhu said and was about to shed two tears as she spoke, pitifully with a trilling voice.
"Don't be afraid, bring the chessboard."
Chu Rao got up neatly from the bed as she spoke, and picked out a shirt she often wore in the cabinet.
"It's...
Miss," Yunzhu turned around and subconsciously wanted to get it, and turned back hurriedly, "But Miss, where are you going to get it?"
” Chu Rao picked up the picture scroll she had stolen at the same time, paused, turned her head with a serious expression, "I'm going to find Qi Su to turn himself in." ” She can't be arrested and put in prison for a letter of resignation, so that her father and mother, Qi Su, and herself don't want to have a good reputation in the future.
Since the Ming Yin Dynasty punished those who surrendered before they were guilty, she said that she was guilty, then she took advantage of the fact that the government had not yet found the backyard, and went to make it clear to Qi Su, whether Qi Su believed her words or not, maybe at least she didn't have to go to prison. ...
Before breakfast, Qi Su must be lying in the room, Chu Rao thought about it in her heart, so she took the big package she wrapped tightly and walked straight to Qi Su's bedroom in the Sanjin Courtyard.
She wants to take a leave of absence, but she doesn't want to really go to prison, maybe even Chu Rao herself didn't find out, deep down in her heart, she actually believed that Qi Su would not be so cruel to her.
Qi Su's bedroom is in the middle of the Sanjin Courtyard, the door of the outer room is not closed, Chu Rao looked left and right, only to see a few plates of side dishes and porridge on the table, I think it was prepared by Sijiu for Qi Su, it should not be finished yet, take advantage of Sijiu to go to the dining room, she must make a quick decision!
"Knock-" Chu Rao quietly walked into the outer room, stood at the door of the inner room, and buckled the wooden door, probably because the button was too light, and there was no response inside, so Chu Rao had to exert a little more force.
"Knock-" Who knew that the wooden door was just hidden, and this button actually opened the door directly.
And Qi Su inside the door, the strap in his hand was half torn open, and the exposed jade-colored chest was moist and well-lined, as if he was changing clothes.
He looked up and saw Chu Rao when he heard the voice, his face was full of surprise: "How are you-" Chu Rao's heart was full of words, and when she saw Qi Su's appearance, she stammered sideways and retreated to the edge of the octagonal table in the outer room, her hand unconsciously poked the wooden edge of the corner of the table, and her voice was low as she spoke "I'm looking for you to tell you about the theft of your study." ” Qi Su's expression returned to normal the moment Chu Rao withdrew, and his slender ten fingers tied his shirt again, and slowly walked to the outer room wearing a dark purple cotton pattern Hangzhou satin robe.
Under the bright and smooth satin robe, there is just the right straight figure.
He gave and walked, his loose black hair was restrained by a finger's width of crimson forehead, and his facial features were handsome and picturesque.
"Ahem—what are you doing so early?"
Qi Su flicked his sleeves and coughed lightly, and swept Fang Cai's oolong over.
Chu Rao settled down, took a deep breath, and plucked up the courage to say, "Qi Su, I'm here to confess my sins to you." ” "What a crime."
"I once went to your study and secretly took a scroll."
Chu Rao opened the cloth wrap with a blank face, handed over the picture scroll she had stolen, paused for a few breaths, and took out the initiator who would have screamed in surprise if Sijiu was there—the lost white jade chessboard.
"But!
I haven't taken the chessboard, and I don't know who put it at the backyard door, so I brought it back to you!
” Chu Rao opened her mouth in a hurry almost the moment she took out the chessboard, for fear that if she said it too late, Qi Su would call someone in, she said it clearly and clearly, and then it all depends on whether Qi Su believes it or not.

Who knows, Qi Su only glanced at the chessboard, but instead took the scroll in Chu Rao's hand, "Why do you want to take this scroll?"
” "Huh?"
Chu Rao guessed many Qi Su's reactions, but she didn't expect him to ask this.
What do you want her to say, saying that she wants to leave the book, so she stole it, or did she steal it in front of him in the study....
Qi Su's eyes were like a pool of spring water, undisturbed, faintly as if he could suck people in, Chu Rao, who saw it, was worried in his heart, and here he was again, when he woke up from illness, he looked at her like this, obviously he didn't know anything, but he seemed to know everything.
"I went to your study to find a book, and I happened to see the artist's painting, I looked like it and took a pair, and I wanted to collect it myself, but I forgot to tell you for a while."
Chu Rao made up a sentence randomly, so Qi Su would blame her for not knowing etiquette at most.
Qi Su lowered his head and unfolded the scroll, his hand was very light, there was only a kitten cub with a three-color flower on the painting, Chu Rao This was the first time to look at this painting seriously.
To be honest, she is still a little immature, although Chu Rao doesn't know how to appreciate paintings, she can also see that this painting is not exquisite.
"What is your favorite of these?"
Chu Rao nodded hurriedly, "Well, I like it, I like this painter the most in Guangling City."
"She took it with her hand, but now she can only recognize it all.
"Yes.
Then you can take it. ” "Huh?"
Chu Rao was stunned and took back the picture scroll handed over by Qi Su.
"This chessboard is not the one I stole from, it was about forty-nine in a hurry, and it fell at the door of the backyard, and it was placed with you in case of emergency."
Well??
Chu Rao continued to take the chessboard handed over by Qi Su in a daze, and wrapped the cloth bag back with the picture scroll, describing it as no different from when she came.
"It's as simple as that?"
"Otherwise, what are you thinking?"
"So, I'll go back first?"
Chu Rao didn't know whether to be happy, or felt more and more that Qi Su couldn't figure it out, so she came over in such a hurry, she was clearly holding on to explain, thinking back and forth for dozens of rounds, why was it only a few words, and the 'stolen goods' suddenly became gifts.
"Wait, put things down."
Just say, how can you be so easy to talk.
Chu Rao held the big cloth bag in her arms, reluctantly turned around, walked in front of Qi Su, and put the cloth back on the wooden table, "Qi Su, I really didn't steal it." ” The three words "stealing the chessboard", Chu Rao didn't say it, Qi Su walked behind Chu Rao as if he didn't hear her speak, bent down and gently pulled out the chair in front of her, and the voice was faint, coming from her side, "Breakfast first." *** The official came to search for one After an hour, the dust finally settled, and the third and fourth courtyards of the second room of the entire Qi family finally regained peace, but the west chamber where the people lived was even more noisy than before.
"This is not taken by the slave maid, please be aware of it!"
Green Aya cried and fell to her knees, she was telling the truth, the chessboard she stole was to blame Chu Rao, obviously it had been thrown in the backyard, how could she find a pair under her bed, she really couldn't say it.
The official held the burlap bag that had just been found, and a corner of the cloth was opened, revealing a corner of the chessboard.
"Hehe, people are dirty, what you want to say go back to the prefect and take it away!"
"Yes, sir."
"Please, master, let the slave and maid meet my son-in-law, please!"
"Hmph, Qi Gongzi said, whoever you catch will be taken away."
The head of the yacha waved his hand impatiently, and the two servants behind dragged the green ridge from the ground, and the green silk face was stained with plaster, and the originally beautiful face was now mixed with tears.
She exclaimed in a deflated voice, "Why, why don't you all search the backyard, that's not fair!"
” The newly arrived yacha, who was a little stunned on the side, asked in a low voice: "Head, do you want to search the backyard?"
” Yachatou knocked on the little man in front of him, "The prisoners have all been searched, and they have been searched, and they have been searched, besides, the adults have ordered, the backyard is the inner family of Prince Qi, and it must not be searched." ” Hearing this, Lu Aya's legs were weak, and she hung straight on the hands of the officers, hehe, it was the relatives who couldn't search for it, and he was really different from Chu Rao.
How could she be so ignorant, but she was just a lowly slave maid, relying on a bit of beauty, and she dared to compete with the person who was marrying back from Ming Media.
For a long time, Qi Su has never controlled people, she has been unscrupulous a few times, and no one has said anything about her, so she thought that she had also fallen into the eyes of others, but it turned out that he had never been disdainful.
"Official, the slave has confessed."
Midori lowered her eyes, bowed her head and knelt down, and was carried out obediently, and before leaving, she looked back at the corner of the light.
Qi Su, one day, I will let you look at me right now.
