Chapter 11: Zhao's scheming
After Qi Yan walked away completely, Uncle Zhong hesitated and said, "Miss, this person is unknown, I'm afraid I can't trust ......"
Ling Haoyue shook her head and said nothing, Qi Yan's gestures were full of nobility, and she had never seen this person in her previous life, but she always felt a faint sense of familiarity, but she couldn't tell where she had seen him, that short sword was made by her father, not a sensitive thing like a jade pendant, but it didn't matter, and she always felt that he would find her again.
"County lord, spare your life, the villain also received money from others, so he ...... The villain was willing to tell the mastermind behind the scenes, and begged the county lord to spare the villain. "One of the guards had put a knife to his neck, and if he moved it slightly, he would die instantly.
Uncle Zhong stepped forward and kicked him fiercely, and said angrily: "Dare to move the county lord, look for death! Say, who instructed you! If you dare to tell half a lie, be careful that I will kill you with one sword!" Uncle Zhong was originally a person who had been on the battlefield, and the momentum around him was filled with killing fierceness, which frightened the man's lips white and his legs trembled.
"It's Mother Zhou, Mother Zhou in the old lady's yard, she said that the old lady has long looked at the county lord unpleasantly, as long as the villain gives the county lord ...... Well, just give the villain three thousand taels of silver. ”
Uncle Zhong was shocked, even if the old lady didn't like the county lord very much, it was impossible for her to be so cruel to the county lord!
"What did Mother look like that week?" Ling Haoyue asked.
The villain remembered that there was a noticeable mole on her left forehead. ”
Ling Haoyue's eyes froze, and she said coldly, "Kill him!"
With an order, a knife was slashed and killed directly.
That's not Zhou's mother at all, Zhou's mother is the old lady's companion, so she has a lot of face in front of the old lady, she remembers very well that Zhou's mother has an obvious mole on her forehead, but it is clearly on the right, it is clear that someone is pretending to be Zhou's mother, even if the mission fails, she brings people to the old lady to identify, it is not Zhou's mother who did it at all, but frames the old lady, then she will be said to be unfilial, and she will be completely rejected by the old lady.
"County Lord, do you want me to find out who that mother is?"
Ling Haoyue sighed lightly and said, "No need, I know who it is, it's either the Zhao family who bought it or Ling Wanrou, Ling Wanrou doesn't have such a deep scheming, only the Zhao family, I underestimated her, since she dares to do it, she must have made complete preparations." ”
"Where's Lily of the Valley?" Ling Haoyue looked around, but didn't see her.
"Lily of the valley is fine, she's too timid, so I'll put her where she is, someone is next to her, it's okay. Uncle Zhong replied.
Ling Haoyue rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Lily of the Valley is loyal, but she is really too timid, Uncle Zhong, you pay attention to sending another girl over." Let's go, it's time to go home. ”
……
Lingguo Mansion, Magnolia Pavilion
The old lady Li sat on the warm couch, the silver wire was neatly combed, there was no broken hair on her forehead, and her fingers were plucking the Buddha beads in her hand one by one.
Ling Wanrou sat next to her, while the Duchess of Ling Guo, Zhao, led the concubine to sit below.
"Grandmother, it's almost evening, why hasn't the second sister come back yet, do you want to send someone to the door to take a look." Ling Wanrou squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly.
The old lady didn't speak, but the Buddhist beads in her hand turned faster and faster.
Ling Wanrou wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao: "Rou'er, Mother Zhou has been waiting at the gate of the mansion, Yue'er is back, Mother Zhou naturally came back to tell the old lady." ”
As he was talking, the curtain of the outhouse was opened, and Zhou's mother walked in quickly.
"Old lady, the second lady is back. ”
The Buddhist beads in the old lady's hand also stopped, and said, "What about her?"
Mother Zhou lowered her head and said, "The second lady said that her body was not clean, and she was afraid of scaring the old lady, so she changed her clothes and came to say hello to the old lady." ”
The old lady's face changed slightly, and she asked, "What's the matter?"
"The slave doesn't know, it's just that when the second lady came back, her clothes were stained with some dust, her face was a little pale, and she was loyal to ......."
"It's not very far from Baiyun Temple to home, how can the second sister be covered in dust? Something can't be wrong?" Ling Xueliu looked surprised, and there was a hint of regret in her words. Her eyes secretly glanced at Ling Wanrou.
Ling Xueliu is the concubine of Ling Guogong and was born to Aunt Mei, a concubine.
Aunt Mei beside her hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes, signaling her not to be talked nonsense. Ling Wanrou is the eldest lady, and the identity behind Ling Haoyue is not low, their mother and daughter still don't get involved, if something really happens to Ling Haoyue, no one will be able to please if they look back and investigate.
Ling Wanrou hesitated and said: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have come back alone, otherwise the second sister wouldn't ......" She wanted to stop talking, and it was full of reverie.
"Sister, what's wrong with me?" Ling Haoyue walked in and saluted the old lady above, "Granddaughter to meet grandmother." ”
The old lady didn't raise her eyelids, and said expressionlessly: "Nothing happened on this road." ”
It's okay not to ask, the old lady opened her mouth, Ling Haoyue's face suddenly became ugly, she looked at the old lady above hesitantly, biting her lip, she had something to say, but she didn't seem to be able to say it.
