Before noon arrived, Qiu Tong had been bound.
Qingya Residence didn't have a firewood shed, so she was thrown into the utility room in the backyard. The utility room contained everything: rags, bamboo brooms, large brooms, and toilet brushes. Even though it was still cold in the depths of January, a foul stench permeated the air.
Unable to bear it, Qiu Tong retched and vomited. She scrambled up from the ground and desperately pounded on the door.
"Why have you seized me? Let me out! Let me out now!"
Xiao Zhu Zi sneered from outside.
"Why seize you? You can't figure that out?"
"If you don't want others to know, you shouldn't have done it. You should have some idea, Miss!"
Qiu Tong felt her heart skip two beats in fright. Could it be that she had been discovered?
Meanwhile, Xia Ruqing had ordered Zi Yue and the others to search Qiu Tong's room.
Zi Yue, accompanied by Zi Su and Zi Ning, searched for a long while but found nothing suspicious.
