Chapter 229: All or Nothing
As General Yuan said, as soon as the national lieutenant arrived at Yongfuyuan, he went straight to the study, and Jiu Ge tried his best to see half of the side after spinning left and right, and he didn't even hit his face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The housekeeper was busy going back and forth to the diligent study, Jiu Ge pretended to wave the broom, watching the housekeeper gradually approach, and suddenly his hand shook, and the broom went directly to the butler's feet.
The housekeeper was holding the tea and hurriedly walked to the study room, but he didn't expect to suddenly stumble under his feet, and his heart was shocked, and the tray in his hand flew out in an instant.
said that it was too late, Jiu Ge stepped forward with an arrow, threw the broom in his hand, and firmly resisted the butler's body rushing forward, and then jumped slightly, reached out to catch the tray that was about to fall, and then landed steadily:
The slave and maid were careless for a while, and did not see the steward passing by, and hoped that the steward would forgive her sins. Jiu Ge said as he lifted the tray above his head and half-knelt on the ground.
The housekeeper looked at her stunned, and after a long time, Fang took the tray and snorted softly: "You can scare me to death, this is the master's favorite tea set, if you mess up, ten of you will not be enough to pay, next time you do things look at the point, don't always be careless." ”
Hearing this, Jiu Ge hurriedly pretended to panic and said: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare, and I hope that the housekeeper will forgive the sin." ”
"What sin do I forgive?" The housekeeper glanced at Jiu Ge speechlessly: "Being delayed by you like this, I don't know how the master will blame him, look at the past and after this morning, but I am tired to death." ”
"Yes, yes, it's all the slave's fault. Jiu Ge hurriedly whispered and said, "If the housekeeper has anything that the slave can do, just give orders, and the slave and maid must be conscientious." ”
"You?" The butler's eyes seemed to light up, and then instantly dimmed: "Forget it, if you let the master know, I don't know what trouble will happen, you can go busy, and it will be this day to die." Saying that, the housekeeper sighed and hurriedly left with the tea set.
Jiu Ge looked at the back of the housekeeper walking away, his brows furrowed unconsciously, there are so many people in the house who don't need it, but everything is done by the housekeeper alone, what is there hidden in this study?
"You want to see the master?"
A gentle sound suddenly sounded behind him, Jiu Ge was stunned in his heart, and turned around suddenly, but saw that his wife was coming from not far away, Jiu Ge was secretly confused, but said calmly and respectfully:
"The slave has seen the lady. ”
Mrs. Cheng smiled faintly: "The lord is busy with government affairs, don't say that you are a slave, even if Mrs. Ben wants to see each other, it is very difficult." ”
"The slave didn't dare. Jiu Ge hurriedly bowed down and said, "The maid accidentally delayed the housekeeper's time, so I thought about whether I could help a little, and there was no other meaning." ”
"Do you know martial arts?" Mrs. Cheng didn't pay attention to Jiu Ge's explanation, and behind her gentle eyes was an unseen depth.
"I know some fur, I was often bullied when I was young, so I secretly lay on the outer wall of the martial arts hall and learned some, which is counted as self-defense. ”
"Martial arts are naturally good for self-defense. Mrs. Cheng looked at Jiu Ge with a smile: "But if you use it in the wrong place, the result will not be good." ”
Jiu Ge lowered her head and didn't answer, she didn't know what this Mrs. Cheng wanted to say.
Mrs. Cheng folded a cuckoo from the side and put it under her nose:
"Before you, there were a few slaves and maids in the house, just like this flower, very bright and moving. Saying that, Mrs. Cheng raised her eyes and looked at Jiu Ge:
"I was already old and decrepit, and when I saw that the slaves were in full bloom, I asked them what they meant, and sent them to my lord. ”
"The slave maid heard that the master only comes back once a month at the beginning of the month and in the middle of the month. Jiu Ge couldn't help but speak.
"yes. Mrs. Cheng's voice was flat: "You should have heard that the master never came to my room when he returned home, right?"
Jiu Ge was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "The slave doesn't know." ”
"Huh. Mrs. Cheng suddenly chuckled: "It's no secret, my wife's name has long been notorious abroad, so there are often some people who want to send their female relatives to the mansion to try their luck, what if they are valued by the national lieutenant?"
Jiu Ge pretended to panic when he heard this: "The slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid only want to get a chance and don't dare to be delusional." ”
That's what they said at the beginning. Mrs. Cheng looked at Jiu Ge with a smile, her calm eyes were unwavering, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with her:
"But when I introduced them to the master, I could see the anticipation and excitement in their eyes. ”
"What about the master?
"Why don't you accept it?" Mrs. Cheng slowly smiled, and a touch of weirdness gradually oozed from her gaze when she looked at Jiu Ge:
"Guess what happened? Those prosperous women, without exception, all died outside the master's study, don't you think it's strange?"
Jiu Ge was horrified when she heard this, and she looked up at Mrs. Cheng unconsciously, her face was still gentle, but her eyes were full of excitement, Jiu Ge didn't know why she was telling herself this, or did she already see her purpose?
"You don't have to be surprised. Mrs. Cheng said lightly: "Everyone has their own selfishness and purpose, as well as all kinds of unscrupulous attempts and struggles to achieve the goal. From my current situation, I'd be happy to give you a chance, but it's none of my business if I'm so stupid as to turn it into an inquirement. ”
"What do you want to say?" Jiu Ge looked at Mrs. Cheng coldly, it seemed that she really knew her purpose.
"The study is easy to enter, and the national lieutenant is so close, but whether you can achieve your goal and retreat when you are close depends on your creation. Mrs. Cheng said and glanced at Jiu Ge: "This study seems harmless, but it has a fatal effect, I have been in the house for decades, and I have never been sure to walk there." ”
"So you found those substitute ghosts?" Jiu Ge suddenly felt that this Mrs. Cheng was really not the one passed on by outsiders, if she guessed correctly, her accidental child was not an accident.
"For the dead ghost?" Mrs. Cheng suddenly laughed: "That's what they voluntarily did, and even couldn't ask for it, all I did was push the boat down the river and wait and see what happened." Mrs. Cheng changed her words as she spoke: "But these idiots, without exception, are all folded in the hands of that old thing, do you say that people are disappointed?"
"Aren't you afraid that the national lieutenant will be suspicious when you do this?" Jiu Ge suddenly felt a disgusting feeling inexplicably.
"He?" Mrs. Cheng instantly smiled and said coldly: "If it weren't for the prime minister, he would have attacked me a long time ago?"
"Prime Minister?" Jiu Ge was instantly confused: "It's not because of the child?"
"Child, do you think he will treat me well for someone else's child?" Mrs. Cheng suddenly sneered: "My identity has long been exposed, and to him, my existence is worthless. ”
"In that case, then why did he keep you around?"
