Chapter fifty-six, a good place to seek money and kill
"Girl, she's gone!" Seeing the mother-in-law disappearing, Qingyue said to herself doubtfully, "Is this mother-in-law really my wife's?"
"We don't know whether they are Madam's people or not. This is the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. We said we were going to meet guests. Now we are going further and further away. It must be wrong."
Yu Xijiao said slowly.
"Girl, could it be that someone discovered that you just left the house?" Qingyue said uneasily. The mother-in-law came unexpectedly, and Qingyue felt inexplicably guilty.
"No!" Yu Xijiao said calmly.
"Girl... why did you go out?" Qingyue followed the meaning of what the girl just whispered in her ear and continued to ask.
"I'll tell you when I get back," Yu Xijiao said.
"Okay, the third girl has indeed left the house, and the person I just saw is indeed the third girl." A sudden voice suddenly came from behind the rockery on one side.
Qingyue's face changed greatly in fright.
When I looked back, I saw a somewhat familiar maid, a maid named Bai Ju next to my wife.
"Who did the third girl go to see just now? She actually went to a large courtyard like that. I want to tell Madam that the third girl had a secret meeting with her lover." Bai Ju said proudly.
She didn't expect that when she went to buy some things for Madam, she would encounter the third girl's carriage. After asking the maid the direction, Bai Ju chased after the third girl specifically to see if the people around the third girl were really buying preserved fruits. She didn't expect to find out.
This maid is the third girl, this is a big deal.
Although she didn't catch up with the third girl at that time, Bai Ju still inquired about the third girl's residence after returning home. She had to find out whether the maid was really the third girl.
The third girl had not been back home for long. Although Bai Ju recognized it at first sight, she still wanted to confirm it, so she went to the guest house to identify her secretly.
When he arrived at the guest house, he saw the third girl coming out. With just one glance, Bai Ju recognized it. The person he saw was indeed the third girl.
Seeing the mother-in-law leading Yu Xijiao away, Bai Ju also fell down secretly. Now that the mother-in-law left, she came closer and heard what the master and servant said. This time she truly confirmed that the third girl was
Really went out.
"The third girl sneaking out of the yard must be shameful. If you tell Madam about this matter, whether the third girl lives or dies from now on is all a matter of Madam's words." It was such a big achievement, Bai Ju became more and more proud of it.
stand up.
Yesterday, Mrs. Hou came back and smashed several tea cups because of what happened in the third girl's yard. Bai Ju also knew about this. Mrs. Hou hated the third girl deeply.
Qingyue's face turned pale, and she subconsciously looked at Yu Xijiao. Although she didn't know what the girl was going to do when she left the house, but seeing the girl's mysterious appearance, she didn't even take her with her, so it must be something big that no one could know.
"Are you going to tell Madam?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and looked at Bai Ju and asked calmly.
"Of course I have to tell Madam. It seems that the third girl really had a secret meeting with her lover." Bai Ju was very confident. She recognized the third girl at that time, and then went out of her way to verify it twice. Now this is true.
Yes, even if the third girl's words are earth-shattering, this matter cannot be avoided.
"What's the benefit of telling Madam?" Yu Xijiao was extremely calm.
"Madam will reward me generously. If the third girl doesn't want to say anything, you can ask the madam to check the courtyard at that time. As long as the third girl goes there, someone will definitely see it." Bai Ju said.
Even if the third girl didn't admit it, it didn't matter. As long as there were people in the courtyard, someone would have seen the third girl go in. She saw the third girl come out with her own eyes, but she didn't have time to go in and inquire because she wanted to keep an eye on the third girl.
"My grandma asked me to go," Yu Xijiao said.
"The third girl is talking nonsense. It is easy to check whether it is true. Just ask the madam to send someone to ask." Bai Ju will not believe that she is really related to An and the eldest princess. How can such a noble eldest princess do it?
It has something to do with the three religions and nine streams living in the courtyard.
"Come here, I'll show you my grandmother's papers." Yu Xijiao said coldly, her face as calm as ever, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and shook it at Bai Ju.
Bai Ju was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Xijiao's face, and then looked at the note in Yu Xijiao's hand: "A note from the eldest princess?"
"Don't believe it?" Yu Xijiao smiled, with a bit of sarcasm, "If you don't look now, go and talk nonsense in front of the madam. If the madam takes it seriously and makes the matter worse only to find out that there is something wrong, you are a maid.
It’s hard to escape the guilt even if you die.”
Seeing Yu Xijiao who was so calm, Bai Ju felt a little panicked. If it was really Princess An and the eldest princess who ordered it, the lady couldn't protect herself. She subconsciously stepped forward and stretched out her hand, saying: "Third Miss, please check if it's okay."
real."
Bai Ju is the second-class maid next to Qian, and she also knows a few words, even the simple ones.
"Here you go!" Before Bai Ju could reach out her hand, Yu Xijiao's hand loosened.
The note blown by the wind flew towards the middle of the lake. Bai Ju subconsciously took a few steps forward, stood on tiptoes and stretched out her hand to reach for the note.
Yu Xijiao turned behind Bai Ju, picked up the hem of her skirt, raised her foot, and kicked Bai Ju's vest hard. Bai Ju only had time to scream before she fell into the lake.
Yu Xijiao put down the hem of her skirt and looked around. When she stopped here, she saw a stick placed here by someone on the rockery.
He picked up the stick and poked the white chrysanthemum that was struggling in the lake. He pushed a lot of the white chrysanthemum near the shore out. He pressed his arm down and exerted force. There was a huge pain in his arm, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Bai Ju's hand subconsciously grabbed the stick, almost pulling Yu Xijiao's feet and staggering out - she let go and the stick fell into the water.
Qingyue hurriedly pulled Yu Xijiao, her whole body trembling nervously: "Gu... girl."
After Yu Xijiao stood still, she took a deep breath. The wound on her arm should have split open. Sweat began to form on her white and tender forehead, but her eyes stared fiercely at Bai Ju who was struggling in the lake.
"Press her down." Yu Xijiao whispered.
Qingyue was frightened and frightened, but she still picked up the stick in her hand and pushed Baiju down, who was trying to escape from the water to cry for help, again and again...
It's very remote here, no one comes here, and it's in a recessed area with shade of trees, so it's not easy for people to find it.
This maid could not stay. When she found out that this maid was following her, Yu Xijiao had already made a decision. She could not risk her mother and uncle. She could not let this maid have the opportunity to report the news to Qian under any circumstances.
.
Regarding the lives of my mother and uncle, this maid must die.
Bai Ju's struggle in the lake slowed down, and finally she stopped struggling and sank slowly, leaving only a stick on the lake.
"Let's go!" Yu Xijiao pulled Qingyue's sleeve and said.
"Girl... girl, this stick..." Qingyue stammered. The scene just now scared her to the point of freezing her whole body, but she still didn't forget the stick.
"It's okay, this stick was originally here." Yu Xijiao said nonchalantly.
She led Qingyue forward, but not towards the back door. She found a path and took the path back again. When she returned to the guest room again, Yu Xijiao's feet became weak and she almost fell down when she lifted her legs to enter the door.
.
Nanny Xu came out and supported Yu Xijiao: "Girl."
"Help me inside." Yu Xijiao exhaled a long breath and said in a deep voice.
Nanny Xu and Qingyue hurriedly helped her in, and then they discovered that her arm was stained with blood, and it was obvious that the wound was open.
"Girl, please go and ask the doctor." Qingyue was so frightened and flustered that she didn't notice at all.
Yu Xijiao was helped onto the bed, leaned down and took a few breaths before saying, "Mother Xu, are you still wearing the hairpin in your sleeve?"
"It's no longer here. Someone just hit the old slave and was groped away by some maids from the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Mother Xu said, the hairpin had been changed and replaced with another one. At first glance, it looked like
identical.
"Okay!" Yu Xijiao nodded and closed her eyes weakly, "I'll take a rest."
"I know, girl, do you really want to ask the doctor to take a look first?" Although Nanny Xu agreed, she still felt uneasy and asked one more question.
"No, I have to go to the flower hall later. I'll go there after taking a rest!" Yu Xijiao shook her head and closed her eyes...
In the courtyard adjacent to the Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion, a handsome man with long hair hanging loose and wearing only a simple loose robe looked like he had not had a good rest and looked extremely bored. He put down the gorgeous
Clairvoyant, smiled. He didn't expect to casually look at Zhengyuan Hou's Mansion and see such a scene.
This girl does this kind of thing of killing people and silencing people, but she does it neatly and neatly.
Such a skinny little one was as cruel as she imagined. Thinking about it, if she had given this little girl a chance to benefit, she would have killed herself in the lake.
.
In that case, if you want to kill yourself to silence yourself, a little maid really means nothing now.
It is indeed interesting that the most useless of the aristocratic lords, Marquis Xuanping, has such a daughter. This trip to the capital is not without its merits.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent someone over." The chamberlain came in and reported in a low voice.
Feng Yu casually returned to the bed and closed his eyes. The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to cover him with a thin quilt, and retreated outside the door. After a while, he ushered in a chamberlain.
The chamberlain bowed respectfully to Feng Yu: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has given you some medicinal materials."
"Thank you Imperial Grandmother for me." Feng Yu said casually.
"The Queen Mother asked when the prince will enter the palace?" the chamberlain asked again.
"Give it a few more days. When I feel better, I will go see Grandma Huang." Feng Yu said lazily, "I also ask Grandma Huang to help me find out who wants to harm me. I went to Beijing that day.
There are only a few people who know about it, maybe some people don’t want me to see the Royal Grandmother safely."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is already investigating, and she will definitely not let Your Majesty's injuries go in vain." The chamberlain said hurriedly. The Queen Mother was looking forward to Prince Qi's coming to the palace every day. Now that she has arrived in the capital, she can't because of her injury.
Entering the palace, the Queen Mother was so furious that even the emperor was scolded.
"Thank you, Imperial Grandmother, for me, and I will enter the palace when I feel better." Feng Yu reached out to cover his chest, coughed twice with difficulty, and his face became increasingly pale.
"I will definitely bring the message here," the chamberlain responded hurriedly.
Feng Yu waved his hand, and the chamberlain hurriedly retreated. When he got outside, he looked back at the door. A bitter smile appeared on his face. The palace was in chaos because of this prince...
