Chapter 318 - 318 A Black Person Entered the Room

318 A Black Person Entered the Room
The child rested her chin on her fair and tender hand and smiled. “That’s right. I’m very happy that Auntie can think things through!”
Qu Niang straightened her back. She looked even more energetic than the few times Gu Nuo’er had seen her covered in dust.
Once one was no longer afraid and was no longer bound by the shackles of the secular world, they would look like they were filled with vitality.
Qu Niang smiled and said, “This servant also has a neighbor who is often bullied by her husband. If there’s a chance in the future, this servant will teach her the method that the princess taught me.”
Gu Nuo’er clapped her small hands. “Auntie is so amazing. You didn’t forget to help others. I want to eat another piece of pastry to celebrate such a happy occasion!”
After saying that, the child reached out her fair and tender finger to grab the sugar cake in the box on the table.
Wanxuan grabbed Gu Nuo’er’s chubby hand and shook her head with a smile. “Princess, you can’t eat anymore. There are only two pieces left on this plate. If you eat too much, you won’t be able to have dinner at night!”
Gu Nuo’er didn’t succeed. She pouted her pink lips pitifully.
When Qu Niang saw this, she first smiled before her expression calmed down. “Princess, this servant… has another matter to report to you. However, this servant can’t be certain about it. After all, this servant only saw it in the blink of an eye and didn’t see it clearly, let alone confirm it.”
Gu Nuo’er tilted her head curiously and asked in a soft voice, “What is it?”
“Half a month ago, the Grace Defender Duke hadn’t returned yet. The manor was empty, so there wasn’t much work to do. This servant usually comes every three days to wash some of the Master and Madam’s clothes to prevent insect damage and also from accumulating dust.
“Because this servant knew that Master and the others were coming back, this servant stayed in the manor for a longer duration that day and washed a lot of clothes. This servant was afraid that Master and the others would want to wear them when they came back.
“This servant originally wanted to wait until the sun sets before putting away the clothes then this servant would leave. However, this servant was too tired and had also been beaten by Luo Sheng. Therefore, this servant fell asleep groggily while leaning against the woodshed.”
Qu Niang’s voice wasn’t loud, and the more she spoke, the more she frowned. “Later on, this servant woke up. It was already late at night and the lights were off everywhere in the manor. Just as this servant was about to go and take back the clothes, I realized that a sneaky person had come from outside. This servant didn’t know him and hadn’t seen him before. He was also wearing black clothes and carrying something in his arms as he flashed past this servant.
“At that time, this servant was shocked and thought that there was a thief! Therefore, this servant quickly followed him. However, this servant was afraid that he would notice, so this servant didn’t follow closely. This servant could only see him enter our Grace Defender Duke’s room and not come out for a long time.
“This servant waited outside the courtyard for a long time but didn’t see this person come out again. Later on, this servant went in to check, but there was no one there either. There were no signs of the windows being moved.
“This servant couldn’t help but feel that she was seeing things. However, this servant felt that she had indeed seen it. As this servant wasn’t sure, this servant didn’t tell anyone about this.
“The princess has helped this servant so much. Other than working hard, this servant doesn’t know how else to repay you. Therefore, I thought of this matter. Your Highness, you can go and check on this later.
“It’d naturally be best if nothing happened. But it could have been a thief who had stolen Master’s precious things! It hadn’t been long since that occurrence. There’s still time to report this to the officials.”
When Gu Nuo’er heard this, her black eyelashes fluttered and there was a hint of confusion in her watery eyes.
Auntie Qu had been working at her grandfather’s house for eight to nine years and could be considered an old family servant.
It was a person that even she didn’t recognize… and he was even carrying a bag of things?
Gu Nuo’er immediately jumped off the swing and said in a childish voice, “Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I’ll go and see Grandpa now!
