"Of course!" Lian Hua said resolutely; she clearly remembered that right before moving, she took everything out of the secret compartment.
Xiao Jizi asked again: "After taking things out, did you go through them to ensure that the book was there?"
"Of course... um..." Halfway through the sentence, Lian Hua hesitated.
She recalled carefully; it seemed she didn't really see it at that time. The situation was urgent, as Nanny Qi was outside, and she only flipped through half before she couldn't continue. As for whether the book was there, she didn't have much impression.
Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Jizi instinctively sensed something was amiss and quickly said: "Consort, this is crucial. If you saw it then, it means it was lost after that. Please think again, think carefully?"
