Chapter 44 Unexpected Discoloration (1)
Baili Changge did not go to Qiufengyuan, but returned to Dufangju immediately.

After closing the door, she lifted her skirt and bent over to squat down, took out the mechanism box under the bed, quickly opened it, and took out the bracelet to have a look.

At that moment, her eyes widened in shock and her breathing became short of breath.

Next to the red square, the white square with only a few black spots yesterday has turned red, and the black spots on it are more obvious against the blood red background, vaguely like the outline of a flower.

Trying to calm down, Baili Changge put the bracelet back and locked it.

This box is a masterpiece of her idle time in Baicao Valley, double password.

The first layer of password requires both hands to turn the rocker on both sides at the same time, the left hand is counterclockwise, and the right hand is clockwise. After turning three times each, the outer metal layer is opened. There are nine numbers inside. Turn the square to call out the password to open the second layer. Take out the bracelet.

She believed that no one could open the box except herself.

However, if the box has never been opened, how to explain the fact that the second square turned red?

Most importantly, what does Baili Shaoqing's death have to do with the square turning red? Could he be one of the eight people?

Scratching his head in distress, Baili Changge yelled out the door: "Qiu Lian—"

"What's your order, miss?" Qiu Lian came very quickly, almost reaching the door as soon as her voice fell.

Baili Changge got up and opened the door to look at her, "Did anyone come to my room while I was out just now?"

"I don't know much about this." Qiu Lian shook her head, "I heard that there was an accident in Qiufengyuan, I almost went out to Dufangju with you, Missy, and the journey back and forth was similar."

That is, it is possible that someone sneaked in during this time period?
Baili Changge thought about it.

"Miss, you can ask Mrs. Wu." Qiu Lian said: "Since she bumped into the young master that night and you punished her for taking care of the flowers and plants overnight, the big kitchen didn't dare to let her go to help, but Mrs. Wu is ten thousand in this mansion. It has been many years, and the eldest lady has allowed her to follow the gardener Miao to take care of the flowers and plants in the mansion because of this kind of affection. I remember that before we left in the morning, Mrs. Wu was always in the flower garden, and she is still there now."

Baili Changge nodded, walked to the edge of the flower garden, and called out softly, "Aunt Wu."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she was shocked. She immediately stood up, wiped her muddy hands on her apron, and looked at Baili Changge obsequiously, "If you have something to do, Missy, please tell me."

"Did anyone come to Dufangju just now?" Baili Changge asked.

"No...no." Mrs. Wu answered anxiously, her eyes dodging a little.

Baili Changge frowned, "If you don't tell the truth, tomorrow I will resign your job as a gardener to Da Furen, and let you wash horses and pour night fragrance for the soldiers in the West Courtyard."

"Miss, please forgive me." When Mrs. Wu heard this, her complexion changed suddenly. There were at least a few hundred horses in the west courtyard, and those soldiers were even more passionate. Freedom, she is naturally unwilling to go.

"Just... just now, Young Master Fu came and said he was looking for Missy, so I told him that he left just after Missy went out." Mrs. Wu muttered.

"The truth?" Baili Changge squinted at her.

"It's absolutely the truth." Mrs. Wu knelt on the ground in fear, "If I speak half a lie, I'd rather be bombarded by the sky."

"Then why didn't you dare to say it just now?" Baili Changge asked coldly.
