In the direction of Zhao An's finger, everyone turned around and saw Jin Zhu, whose face was pale and without a trace of blood.
It was actually Jin Zhu? Yu Ruiwen closed his eyes.
Since Zhao An came in, Jinzhu has been avoiding, first Yu Yuxi, but Yu Yuxi moved forward excitedly, Jinzhu could only avoid Mingyue, but Mingyue's cold look made her stop a few steps away from Mingyue.
, don’t dare to lean over again.
Now she is the only one being pointed at by Zhao An.
Fortunately, there was no one else around.
With a "plop", Jinzhu knelt down, shed tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl... slave... slave doesn't know anything."
"It's you, it's you, it's your birthday that you asked me to bury. That night, you came here secretly, with your face covered, and then left secretly. Although I was scared, I still followed you. After that... after that
I met two women in the house and talked to each other, saying that they saw you, and then... later I secretly went to see you, and when I heard you talking, it turned out that you were..."
Zhao An is really anxious now.
Originally he wanted to hide something, but he couldn't offend anyone to death. He just wanted to get away, but now he couldn't care less and pointed at Jinzhu and said loudly.
Put all the blame on Jin Zhu.
Zhao An really found out what happened. Zhao An was careful with his life, otherwise he would not have gotten Qian's letter. He pretended not to have seen it and knocked Qian's money away. He felt that Qian was beyond his reach and could not do anything to him, so he wanted to deceive the two.
Money spends.
Later, when I was forced to come out of my comfort zone, I also felt that Qian was capable, so I went to Beijing to give it a try.
The prescription in Zhou's hand has his and Zhou's birthdays, as well as the signatures of the two elders. This can be regarded as a simple betrothal gift for two people. Zhao An also told Qian long ago that for this money
Shicai repeatedly gave Zhao An two taels of silver and asked him to knock again and again.
At the city gate, Zhao An was intercepted, and he was told to do just that. He first got this health-preserving prescription, and then immediately hid it in a specific place, lest Zhou find out and search his house. This was also for Zhao An.
An Hao, Zhao An will naturally obey.
As for other things, we will talk about it later.
After getting the prescription for health, Zhao An hurriedly hid the prescription in a specific place, not far from the yard where he lived. The place was also remote. He went there secretly without meeting anyone along the way, and then secretly came back.
Fortunately, there was no movement from the Zhou family afterwards. He probably didn't know that Fang Zi was missing yet. Zhao An finally calmed down after that.
At nightfall, Zhao An sneaked over again, hid in the place where the things were buried, and entered the Hou Mansion. Knowing that Mrs. Hou had been locked up, he was particularly careful about who was coming to get her now. He was greedy for money but also
Not willing to give up his life, if he still wants to live, he must know who is secretly planning it.
The figure who sneaked over had his head and face covered. After digging, he left. Zhao An followed him all the way. When he saw someone coming, the person took off the gauze covering his head. She was a maid. Zhao An didn't recognize him, but he continued to follow.
I saw someone bowing to this maid, and I knew she was not an ordinary maid.
It's hard to hear who it is from far away.
I didn't dare to follow anymore, so I simply followed the two maids I met just now. I heard them laughing and talking after the previous maid left, and I knew that the maid just now was the eldest maid next to the second girl of the Hou Mansion.
Of gold beads.
The second girl of the Hou Mansion is the biological daughter of Madam Hou Qian.
After everything was in order, Zhao An went back. In the middle of the night, he was woken up by the sound outside the back window. It was the voice of the maid, telling him where to bury the things next, and what to do before entering.
In the backyard, his jade pendant was also buried, and the health prescription was tied to the rocks and thrown into the house.
Zhao An picked up the rocks but did not chase him out, knowing that he would never be able to catch up with him.
The next day he went to find Mrs. Zhou and buried the things at the designated place. Then he secretly went to wait outside the Second Girl's Courtyard. Finally he saw the maid named Jinzhu and listened to her voice.
It was the sound outside my back window last night that reminded me of this maid's face before I left.
Now Zhao An was forced to have no choice but to point at Jinzhu without caring about anything else.
Although he didn't dare to look too much when he entered the house, he saw the maid there in the blink of an eye. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the second girl would not watch something happen to him.
Unexpectedly, it was the second girl who forced him in the end, and Zhao An also gave up.
"Master Hou, it was this maid who ordered me to do this. She asked me to bury it. Otherwise, how could I know this secret place just after I arrived at the Xuanping Hou Mansion? How could I find this place as soon as I entered the house that day?
What’s even more coincidental is why someone else saw it and didn’t say anything after seeing it. It seems that something else happened today because of this incident.”
Zhao An pointed at Jinzhu and testified loudly.
"Father, it can't be Jinzhu. How could it be Jinzhu? Jinzhu has been with me since I was a child. She...she can't do such a thing." Yu Yuxi began to sweat on her forehead. She never expected that Zhao An would
Pointing out Jin Zhu, Jin Zhu was working at night and left in a hurry afterwards, so it was impossible for Zhao An to catch up with her.
"Second girl, I just came to Beijing and I don't know anything. Could it be that I want to harm the Xuanping Hou Mansion? What good will this do to me?" Zhao An was also anxious, not caring that this was the second girl of the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
He retorted repeatedly.
It's either him or the maid, and vice versa, it's either the maid or him.
Jin Zhu knelt on the ground with her whole body cold, shivering, and couldn't say a word.
"Second sister, I'm just asking Jin Zhu to see if the time and location are right. There are so many people coming and going in such a large Xuanping Hou Mansion, so maybe we'll meet each other sometime," Yu Xijiao said.
.
"Yes... yes, there was a time, a place, and someone met this girl. I buried this recipe first according to the person's prompts, but I was worried, and I specially stared at this girl when I entered the house.
You came here with your head and face covered, and I followed you there. It was still early at that time, and there were people on the road. I met two maids..."
Zhao An said whatever he wanted, told the whole story in detail, picked everything off himself, and blamed it all on Jin Zhu.
However, these things are still facts. If the two maids I met were really there, just check them out at that time and at that place.
Jin Zhu couldn't explain it even if she tried to explain it. There was cold sweat on her forehead. She only remembered that she left immediately after talking to each other. She didn't expect that this person named Zhao already knew who she was and even came to see him specially.
Pass yourself and leave only after seeing yourself.
Her pleading eyes fell on Yu Yuxi. She had met the two maids and talked to them. As long as she checked everything, she would definitely meet them.
Yu Yuxi didn't expect that Jin Zhu had actually met someone. It was a trivial matter, and Jin Zhu never mentioned it to her after he came back.
Jin Zhu was her confidant and the person her grandmother sent to her. If possible, Yu Yuxi would definitely save her, but the room was very quiet at this moment, so quiet that she could almost hear her own breathing.
Inside the gauze curtain on the bed, although her father had no voice, Yu Yuxi could feel her father's gaze.
To save or not to save?
Saving him will definitely arouse his father's suspicion. This matter cannot be investigated. Once investigated, it must be Jinzhu. Zhao An has just arrived at the house. It is impossible for him to know his family's affairs so well. There must be an internal agent. This internal agent is now Jinzhu, and all the points are pointing to it.
It's Jinzhu, she can't be saved.
She gritted her teeth hard, it wasn't that she was cruel, it was just that the gold beads were useless.
Turning around, she slapped Jin Zhu hard on the face. Yu Yuxi's eyes turned red: "You...why did you do this?"
"Girl... slave... slave..." Jin Zhu already understood the meaning here. She raised her head in despair and looked at Yu Yuxi, with a sad look on her face.
The second girl did not intend to save herself. The second girl put all the blame on herself. In fact...this was expected...
She had to die today! She is different from ordinary maids...
"My slave... I just can't see how the Marquis treats his wife like this. My wife has been working hard for the Marquis for so many years, and she has never made any mistakes. Why did the Marquis treat my wife like this after Zhou entered the mansion? My slave... I can't be angry, my slave.
I’m really angry!”
Jinzhu burst into tears suddenly and took the whole matter on herself, "I'm not worth it for my wife. My wife took care of the Marquis and the Crown Prince, but now I've ended up like this. I... I was raised by my wife too. I'm really angry."
but……"
After Jin Zhu finished speaking, while no one was paying attention, he stood up suddenly and slammed into the corner of the cabinet on the side, causing blood to burst out immediately...
No one expected that she would do this. After being stunned for a moment, they saw that the golden beads had slowly slipped down, and it seemed that she was no longer alive...
The bright moon was already blocking Yu Xijiao's face when Jin Zhu hit her.
The chief steward took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to explore between Jin Zhu's nose, and his breathing gradually stopped.
"Master Hou, he's dead!"
"Pull it down!" Yu Ruiwen's tired voice said.
The chief steward called people over and pulled Jinzhu out. The smell of blood lingered in the room, and even if the window was opened, it could not be dissipated.
"Father, my daughter is at fault. My daughter doesn't know what Jin Zhu thinks. My daughter... it's her daughter's fault. It's all her fault." Yu Yuxi knelt down with mournful and sad eyes: "Jin Zhu and her daughter grew up together.
, Sister Qingtong, in the past she would tell her daughter anything, but now...now, she actually does such things behind her daughter's back..."
Yu Yuxi cried: "I beg my father to return the gold beads to my daughter. Even if she did something wrong, she will still have a fight with my daughter's master and servant. It will be regarded as consummating the relationship between our two masters and servants."
Yu Xijiao hugged Yu Zhuqing tightly. Just as Jinzhu bumped into her, Yu Zhuqing threw himself at Yu Xijiao, trying to protect her. Now her whole body is still trembling.
After gently patting Yu Zhuqing's back to calm her emotions, Yu Zhuqing also patted Yu Xijiao twice. The two sisters stood in a row again, watching Yu Yuxi without saying a word as she cried about the deep love between master and servant.
.
This deep love between master and servant should have made people sigh. If it were in the past, people would think that Yu Yuxi was kind, but now the housekeeper really can't say such a thing. Does the second girl really know nothing? It was the second girl who was aggressive before.
And County Master Xu standing next to the second girl.
Princess Ming and the eldest princess are the people that their prince hates the most...
"Go and see your mother in the next few days." The voice coming from the bed became more and more tired.
"Father!" Yu Yuxi screamed and raised her head in horror...
