Chapter 44
"Is Nanny Meng there?" A maid outside the door asked anxiously.

"What's the matter?" Yun Xiang's voice came into the room from outside the door.

Nanny Meng raised her head and looked outside the door, but she couldn't hear the sound outside clearly, thinking that the two of them had walked a little far away.

But the servant girl's flustered tone could be felt in the vague voice.

"Let's go and have a look." The old lady heard it too, and closed her eyes after she finished speaking.

Mother Meng bowed in response, closed the curtain and went out.

"What's the matter? In a panic?" As soon as Nanny Meng left the room, she saw Yun Xiang was about to enter the room.

"Mengmomo, did you ask Qiaoer to sew a crane cloak at the last hour?" Yun Xiang asked anxiously when she saw Mengmomo coming out and stopped immediately.

"That's right, it belongs to the eldest lady. There is a hole, and I will send it to the eldest lady as soon as it is finished." Seeing that the expressions of the two were not right, Meng Momo asked, "But what's the problem?"

"Miss's?" Yun Xiang was taken aback, took out the small jar Qiaoer gave her, handed it to Nanny Meng, and said to Nanny Meng very solemnly, "There is this in the crane cloak."

The night was a bit dark, Qiao'er handed over the lantern to clearly illuminate the contents of the jar.

It was half a finger long, dark, with a wet silver light, wriggling in the jar.

"This is?" Mother Meng looked at the bug and asked in bewilderment.

"My servant doesn't know, after I finished sewing the big cloak and was just about to fold it, one crawled out from the hair and sucked it on my servant's hand. The servant couldn't slap it off, so I pulled it hard, and the place where it was crawled was bleeding profusely."

"The servant girl was afraid that the cloak might be wrong, so she shook it, and several fell out..." Qiao'er couldn't help covering the wound on her left hand, tears streaming down her face.

Recalling the scene at that time, it was a little scary.

Nanny Meng looked at the jar and fell into deep thought.

Thinking of the eldest lady wearing that crane cloak for a whole day, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.

One can imagine how terrifying the mind of the person who put this thing is.

Thinking of where this crane cloak came from, Nanny Meng couldn't help but shudder.

Could it be Aunt He?
No, no, Aunt He is the eldest lady's real aunt.

"This is a water bug." Yun Xiang looked at the jar with a sullen face and said firmly.

"What water bugs?" Mrs. Chen saw that Nanny Meng had been out for a long time and still hadn't solved it. She heard the sound, and as soon as she came out, she heard Yun Xiang talking about water bugs.

"Old madam, why did you come out? It's cold outside." Nanny Meng stuffed the jar into Yunxiang's arms, and hurried forward to support old lady Chen.

Mrs. Chen patted Nanny Meng's hand, looked at Yun Xiang and asked, "What kind of water bug?"

Yun Xiang looked at the jar in her arms, then at Qiao'er, then at Nanny Meng, took a deep breath, and handed the jar over.

"This is the water worm. My servant's hometown is in the countryside, and I used to farm with my parents. This kind of worm usually lives in rice fields, ditches, shallow water and dirty ponds, etc. It specializes in sucking human and animal blood. It can swim in waves in the water. It moves swiftly, and its real name... seems to be... a leech."

"leech?"

Qiaoer also hurried forward and repeated what she had discovered.

After speaking, the old lady frowned, such a dirty thing would happen in their Liu residence.

Thinking of the origin of this crane cloak, Mrs. Chen couldn't help frowning.

This leech does not hurt or itch when sucking blood, it will only suck up human blood. If it is used on her, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Who else knows about this except you?" the old lady looked at Qiao'er and asked.

 Continue to ask for recommendation tickets, thank you everyone, okay~
