The next day, when Churi Huaizhu was helping Wangquan Baye wash up, she suddenly felt something hard in the interlayer of his clothes. She reached in and took it out, only to find it was a particularly well - crafted hairpin.
She looked at the hairpin and smiled happily, thinking that Wangquan Baye had specially bought it for her. So she didn't ask him about it.
Wangquan Baye noticed that in the past two days, Churi Huaizhu had been looking at him with an expectant look in her eyes. He was a bit puzzled but didn't associate it with the hairpin in his bosom. One day passed, then another, but Churi Huaizhu never waited for Wangquan Baye to give her the hairpin.
Churi Huaizhu began to wonder if the hairpin was for another woman. But then she thought that Wangquan Baye had always shown no interest in other women. How could he buy something for another woman at this time?
Churi Huaizhu was even more confused. "Could it be that he isn't ready yet?"
Just as Wangquan Baye walked in, he heard Churi Huaizhu talking to herself.
"Who isn't ready? Is it Xiaofugui?" Wangquan Baye put his clothes in the wardrobe beside.
Churi Huaizhu rolled her eyes. "It's you! I'm asking you, what's going on with that hairpin in your bosom?" Churi Huaizhu sat on the chair, waiting for Wangquan Baye to come clean.
Wangquan Baye thought it was something else that made Churi Huaizhu roll her eyes at him. It turned out to be related to that hairpin. Thinking this way, Wangquan Baye took out the hairpin from his bosom and handed it to Churi Huaizhu.
"During the fire the other day, I saw a black - clothed man. This hairpin fell off him." Hearing about the black - clothed man, Churi Huaizhu knew that Wangquan Baye must have fought with him.
Churi Huaizhu carefully examined the hairpin. Its workmanship was extremely delicate. It didn't seem like something an ordinary person could own. Moreover, she felt that the hairpin was somewhat familiar. Especially the patterns on it made her feel that she had seen this hairpin somewhere.
"Have you ever seen this hairpin?" Wangquan Baye asked Churi Huaizhu and observed the hairpin with her.
Churi Huaizhu slowly shook her head. She felt like she had seen it but just couldn't remember where. It really gave her a headache. Wangquan Baye didn't press Churi Huaizhu either. He put the hairpin back into his bosom. Then the two blew out the candles and prepared to rest.
The next day, Xiaoqing came to help Churi Huaizhu wash up. Churi Huaizhu had an idea in mind. She suspected Xiaoqing. She suspected that Xiaoqing had something to do with the fire the other day.
"Go to the pharmacy at the foot of the mountain later and get some medicine for me." Churi Huaizhu said as she handed a prescription to Xiaoqing. It was the anti - miscarriage medicine prescribed by the doctor for her before.
Xiaoqing didn't suspect that Churi Huaizhu suddenly asked her to get the medicine. Most of the previous medicine was fetched by her. So after Churi Huaizhu finished breakfast, Xiaoqing took the silver and left the villa to go to the pharmacy.
Churi Huaizhu watched Xiaoqing's retreating back. She walked unhurriedly. Churi Huaizhu felt a bit nervous. She pretended to be taking a walk and waved away the people who were following her. Those people knew her habit and didn't get close anymore.
When Churi Huaizhu reached the door of Xiaoqing's room, she slipped in. None of the servants noticed. Churi Huaizhu supported her belly with one hand and rummaged through Xiaoqing's room with the other.
"Strange. There's nothing here. Could it be that I've wronged her?" After rummaging through the cabinets, Churi Huaizhu found that everything was normal and there was nothing strange.
Moreover, there were very few clothes in those cabinets. There were more small and cute trinkets. Churi Huaizhu picked one up and checked it but found nothing wrong.
Churi Huaizhu didn't quite believe it. She carefully rummaged through those things, trying to find something amiss.
She felt every corner. Except for under the bed, every other place had been searched. She slowly lay down on the ground and felt along the edge of the bed. The area under the bed was very dark and she couldn't see anything clearly. Churi Huaizhu reached out her hand to explore the things under the bed. In a small corner, she felt a box.
The box was placed very skillfully. After she took it out, she sat on the chair and carefully examined the box in her hand.
It was a jewelry box. It was simply decorated. If you didn't look closely, you might overlook it. She explored the jewelry box. After opening it, she found some broken silver inside.
She was a bit confused. Without knowing which part she pressed, a small opening appeared under the broken silver. Churi Huaizhu moved the silver aside and there was a small note in the opening.
Churi Huaizhu took out the note. The words on it made her can't help covering her belly. The note read: "No matter what the cost, we must make the Wangquan Villa have no descendants."
Churi Huaizhu's hands trembled a bit. She forced herself to calm down. "Calm down. Don't panic." She took a deep breath to calm her nerves.
Churi Huaizhu put the note back into the box. Then she covered the opening with the broken silver. The silver just covered the opening.
Then she explored the structure of the whole box. When she found a small protrusion, she pressed it and the opening closed.
When Churi Huaizhu was putting the jewelry box back under the bed, she suddenly remembered the hairpin that Wangquan Baye had shown her yesterday. She suddenly thought that maybe the hairpin was related to Xiaoqing.
Thinking this way, Churi Huaizhu felt around carefully again but found nothing.
Churi Huaizhu stood up and patted the dust off her body. After making sure she was clean, she walked to the door and listened to the movement outside. When it was quiet, she slipped out.
When passing by the garden, Churi Huaizhu pretended to be admiring the flowers. Just then, the servants came to look for her.
"Madam, it's time to go back and rest." Churi Huaizhu nodded and walked unhurriedly. When she got back to the room, looking at the beautiful flowers, she picked up the kettle beside.
"I wonder when these flowers will bloom..." Churi Huaizhu murmured softly. The water droplets fell on the windowsill beside.
Just as Churi Huaizhu was about to wipe it off, she found some white powder in the vase. The powder was very fine. After the water fell on it, the powder merged with the soil and was hard to notice.
"This thing!" Without hesitation, Churi Huaizhu took out her handkerchief and carefully wrapped up the medicine powder. At the same time, she dug out the remaining powder with something and buried it in the yard.
