She became rich after being dressed as a group pet

Chapter 556 Darkroom
Surprised, Fu Xiner quickly grabbed Jiang Zhimian and climbed up the cave, covering her tightly with a quilt.

Looking in from the outside, Jiang Zhimian's existence was not noticeable at all.

At the same time, the sound of footsteps had already reached the door.

Someone gently opened the door and came in, tiptoed, as if taking something, and left quickly.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps disappeared that Fu Xiner and Jiang Zhimian sat up from the quilt.

"Someone stole from you?" Jiang Zhimian asked.

Fu Xiner didn't know, so she ran to her jewelry box to check carefully, and found that all the jewelry was there.

Nothing is missing.

"It doesn't look like he came to steal something, but I just heard him take something, it's over the table..."

As Fu Xiner spoke, she suddenly remembered something.

He walked quickly to the table to search, and after a while, he raised his head to look at Jiang Zhimian, "My West Chamber is gone."

All right, come to steal a book?

"Is your The West Chamber a book cover made of gold?" Jiang Zhimian asked.

Fu Xiner shook her head, "How is that possible? I took that book, The Story of the West Chamber, in the study. It's just a very ordinary book."

"Who would take your book for nothing?" Jiang Zhimian was puzzled, "Could it be that the maid in the house is going to sue you?"

"Impossible, the servant girl has nothing to do with me like this. If I find out in the future, wouldn't she still be made things difficult for me? Why bother asking for trouble?"

As Fu Xiner said, she patted the table again, "But if you ask like that, I think of another thing."

She has been taking books from the study room to read recently, and sometimes she clearly remembers that she put them on the desk, but she will find them under the pillow.

Or put it on the table, but it appeared in the dressing cabinet.

She always thought that she had put it away and then forgotten it, but now that she thought about it, it was more like someone took her book away on purpose and then quietly returned it.

"If you go to Concubine Ning's room now, you might see someone holding my book. If that's the case, it means that that person is very trusted by Concubine Ning. Maybe you can ask something." Fu Xiner said.

Jiang Zhimian nodded, opened the door quietly, and walked out.

She and Fu Xiner wandered around this small courtyard before, so they easily found Princess Ning's room.

As Fu Xiner said, the room was lit, and under the flickering candlelight, there were two shadows on the window paper.

Judging by the hairstyle, both are female.

Jiang Zhimian moved as lightly as possible, walked outside the door, poked a hole quietly, and peeked inside.

Inside the room, Concubine Ning was wearing plain white pajamas, sitting at the table, and the book she was flipping in her hand had the words "Journey to the West Chamber" impressively written on it!

And the one standing in front of her was a little maid, with her head down, she couldn't see clearly, but her voice was a little familiar, like the one who often served Fu Xin'er.

"Princess Ning, this is the book Miss Fu is reading recently, please read it over." The little maid said.

Concubine Ning just flipped through a few pages and put them on the table, "I see, although they are all boring things, it's okay to look at them, let's put them back for her as usual."

"Yes." The little maid nodded, and obediently took The Story of the West Chamber in her hand.

Jiang Zhimian secretly took note of the orchid-patterned sachet worn by the little maid, and planned to leave.

Later, I will ask Fu Xiner which maid beside me is wearing such a sachet, and then think about how to get the whereabouts of Qilin out of her mouth.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Princess Ning ask again, "Have you seen it in the dark room?"

"I've seen it, and I'm still kneeling, but I don't mean to admit my mistake." The little maid answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Concubine Ning was furious, "Who gave him the courage to admit his mistake after doing such a thing? If it wasn't for seeing that I picked him up, his life would have died long ago!"

The little servant girl was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground, trembling all over, "Please calm down, Princess Ning!"

"Go and tell him, if he is willing to admit his mistake, I will forgive him, if he still refuses, after seven days, I will not think about the old relationship again." Princess Ning said.

"Yes, servant girl is going now." The little maid hurried out.

Jiang Zhimian also dodged and hid behind the pillar.

In such an instant, the maid had already disappeared.

Jiang Zhimian circled around, but still couldn't find anyone, so he had no choice but to give up and return to Fu Xiner's room.

Fu Xiner is still waiting for news.

Seeing her come back, he anxiously asked, "How is it? Did you get any clues?"

"No, but I know that little maid is the person next to you, with a sachet of orchids, what's her name?"

Fu Xiner carefully recalled, "It seems to be called Alan. The four maids arranged by Princess Ning are all named after flowers, and they wear different sachets. The one wearing the orchid sachet should be Alan."

"I heard Alan and Princess Ning talking about a person hiding in the dark room, but when I wanted to follow it, I accidentally missed it." Jiang Zhimian said.

I really didn't expect that there is a dark room in such a small house.

"I don't know where the darkroom is, but since this house belongs to Master Zuo, he must know where it is. You can ask Master Zuo." Fu Xiner suggested.

But even if he wanted to find Master Zuo, he would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

Jiang Zhimian pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, just pretend I haven't been here before, and I'll go back first."

"Be careful, and I'll keep an eye out for you. If anything happens, I'll find a way to inform you." Fu Xiner said.

Under Fu Xiner's worried eyes, Jiang Zhimian hurried away under the moonlight.

When they returned to Wuziju, neither Chi Mohan nor Bai Yule had returned.

She simply set off a firework to bring the two of them back.

Bai Yule was the first one to run back. He couldn't breathe, swallowed hard, and asked Jiang Zhimian, "Sister-in-law Wu, is it... that Qilin is back?"

"Xiaobai, listen to me, the situation is relatively..."

Before they finished speaking, Bai Yule rushed into the room, only the bright moonlight illuminated everything, but there was no sign of Qilin.

He came out so disappointed that his steps collapsed, "Fifth sister-in-law, where is Qilin?"

"I'm not sure, but I went to Princess Ning's house and heard that there was a person locked in the dark room. I suspect it was a Qilin." Jiang Zhimian said.

Hearing this, Bai Yule couldn't bear it any longer.

"Don't doubt it, it must be Qilin, I'm going to save him now!"

After all, people rushed out.

But before he took two steps, Chi Mohan came back from the outside and slashed Bai Yule on the back of the neck with a knife, making him faint instantly.
