Chapter 39 Cloth Tiger
"It's okay, Brother Qian, just stay where you are and I'll get some water."
Cui Yunhao said, ran into the house and found a piece of cotton cloth, and filled a basin of cold water. After Pei Jingqian wiped it clean, he walked out of Caiyun Courtyard.
Not long after, Chu Yingying came back, and Cui Yunhao told her everything about Pei Jingqian's previous visit and the incident of accidentally spilling the ink.
After hearing this, Chu Yingying felt a bad premonition welling up in her heart.
Cui Yunhao saw something wrong with her face, so he couldn't help asking: "Sister, what happened?"
Chu Yingying pinched her chin, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she could only shake her head and said: "It's okay, let's continue to practice painting."
In the evening, Pei Daozhu suddenly led a large group of maids and women to Caiyun Courtyard like a swarm of swarms.
Cui Yunhao was still painting, while Chu Yingying was lying on a wicker chair reading. When they heard the noise, they had already walked straight into the study.
Seeing this battle, Chu Yingying felt something was wrong, and she and Cui Yunhao looked at each other in confusion.
Pei Daozhu said in a friendly manner: "In the afternoon, my brother said something to me. I already knew that I was wrong, so I brought some food here to apologize to Brother Yunhao."
When Cui Yunhao met Pei Daozhu, she still ignored him. It can be seen that her attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn at this time. Although she was confused, she didn't think much about anything else and started eating snacks.
Come.
Pei Daozhu was wandering in front of the two of them, suddenly stopped, pointed at the lacquered table next to the bamboo couch, and asked curiously: "Huh? There seems to be something on it. It looks familiar to me."
It’s there!”
Under Cui Yunhao's surprised gaze, Pei Daozhu waved his hand, and the maids and women filed in, bringing in boxes of various snacks one after another, and setting a table full of them.
He would answer whatever Pei Daozhu asked, and they seemed to be in harmony, shaking hands and making peace with each other.
She intentionally or unintentionally messed up the paintings on the desk. Cui Yunhao wanted to blame her out loud, but after thinking about it, he finally held back.
When Cui Yunhao heard this, he also came closer. Pei Daozhu's personal maid, Qingtan, noticed her look and immediately ran over to pick up the cloth tiger and handed it to her to see.
Pei Daozhu clapped his hands and walked around the room leisurely, looking around, touching here and touching there.
Cui Yunhao was stunned when he saw the cloth tiger.
Pei Daozhu took the cloth tiger and checked it over and over again, showing a very surprised expression. He looked at Cui Yunhao and said: "This is obviously the cloth tiger that was stolen from me yesterday. It was a treasure given to me by my father. Why?"
Suddenly appeared in your study?"
Chu Yingying followed her direction and looked around, and was startled. She saw that there was a cloth tiger on the lacquered table. The light in the room was relatively dark. If she didn't open her eyes wide, she might not be sure.
Can be seen.
Qingtan then echoed: "Is it possible that the cloth tiger was stolen by the two of you?"
Cui Yunhao shook his head repeatedly, puffed up his chest angrily, and said: "Nonsense! We didn't steal anything from you!"
Pei Daozhu's expression changed in an instant. Contrary to his previous kindness, he acted like a young lady and said, "Humph! If you hadn't stolen, could it be that the tiger had grown legs and came to your study by itself?"
Cui Yunhao felt a buzzing sound in his head, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head. He pinched his ten fingers until they turned white, and argued loudly: "Whether you believe it or not, we have never been to your room, how could we be in your room?"
Stealing your cloth tiger under the noses of so many of you? I'm not that stupid!"
