Chapter 882: Something Must Have Happened

Tong Shuitao knew that there were two gatekeepers at the main door of the Zhou Mansion.
Miss said that she saw Steward Zhou enter from the main door, but she didn’t see him come out from the main door. They should have walked to the back door. Steward Zhou brought Mrs. Ren and Gu Qiuyue along, and anyone could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Gu Qiuyue, but the guards at the back door still let them out.
In that case, the guard at the back door must be Steward Zhou or Mrs. Ren’s men.
So she couldn’t go to the back door.
Tong Shuitao walked straight towards the main door. When she was about to leave, she looked around and saw an eight or nine-year-old child not far away. She immediately took out a fruit candy and waved at him.
The child’s eyes lit up and he ran over.
“Do you need something from me?”
“Go to the gatekeeper of the family in front and say a few words. This candy is yours.”
The child looked at the candy and swallowed. He quickly nodded.
Tong Shuitao whispered in his ear and handed him the candy.
The child hurriedly stuffed the candy into his mouth and ran towards the entrance of the Zhou Mansion.
He knocked on the door a few times. When he saw the gatekeeper walk out impatiently, he said, “The waiter at the Five Blessings Teahouse asked me to come and tell you that your master was drunk in their teahouse. Steward Zhou said that he wanted to go back to the residence to look for helpers, but he hasn’t returned. If you have time, quickly bring your master back lest something happens.”
With that, the child licked the candy and ran away.
The gatekeeper was still in a daze. When he came back to his senses, the child had disappeared.
He frowned. “The Five Blessings Teahouse?”
Steward Zhou had returned earlier and was in a hurry. He did not even reply when the gatekeeper asked.
The gatekeeper frowned and said to the other guard, “Guard the door. I’ll come back after taking a look.”
In any case, the teahouse was not far away. If it was really Old Master, what if something happened?
If he brought Old Master back, Old Master might even think highly of him.
As he thought about it, the gatekeeper had already run off in a hurry.
However, he didn’t see Zhou Dafu at all in the teahouse.
The gatekeeper cursed in his heart. He must have been tricked by that child. Don’t let him see him again, or he would definitely take off his pants and beat him up.
However, before he left, he still asked the waiter.
When the waiter heard that he was from the Zhou Residence and that Old Master Zhou had not returned, he was shocked. “How is that possible? Steward Zhou has already taken Old Master Zhou away. Old Master Zhou was indeed drunk and unconscious. It’s been a long time. Could it be that he hasn’t returned to the Residence?”
The gatekeeper was stunned. There really was such a thing?
However, he was the gatekeeper and did not see Steward Zhou return.
They couldn’t go through the back door, right? The back door was far away, so there was no reason not to use the main door.
The gatekeeper had a bad feeling and asked a few more questions.
The waiter said, “Steward Zhou couldn’t help him up alone. I originally wanted to help him send Old Master Zhou back to the residence, but Steward Zhou said that there was no need. He went back to call for help, but in the end, he called two women and one of them was dressed as a manservant. It was also strange.”
The gatekeeper’s eyes widened. What was Steward Zhou going to do?
Oh no, something must have happened. The old master was drunk and was not brought back to the residence. He even brought two unfamiliar women with him.
There was something fishy about this.
The gatekeeper could not care less anymore and ran back to the Zhou Mansion in a hurry.
