Chapter 773: Undying
But what did she get now, having given so much? Get only one ambiguous answer.
The more Chen thought about it, the more angry he became.
In her original assumption, when she came back and asked lightly, she would see a person with a panicked look talking back and forth, saying that Xu Wanzhen had been kidnapped!
Even, when I returned home, I saw a descendant like a headless fly in the house, because Xu Wan was really missing, and the six gods had no owner.
She has thought about all kinds of situations, and it is this goal that has supported her through lonely days and nights. Even the days when he was about to be placed under house arrest in the Buddhist hall were not afraid.
But!
When she did everything she was supposed to do, the ultimate goal became so elusive.
No, no matter what, she must go and see it for herself to be at ease.
Thinking of this, she rolled over. He didn't change his clothes, but he put a cloak on the outside, and when he opened the door, he was about to go out.
Mama Tian, who was guarding outside, saw it, took a step forward, and blocked her way.
"Where does Madame want to go in the middle of the night?"
"To live far away." Chen's face now no longer has the calm and calm he used to be, and his face turned black and said, "You get out of the way!" ”
"The Queen Mother has an order, and Mrs. should carefully cultivate Buddha in the Buddha Hall. If there is anything, the old slave can do it for his wife. ”
Glancing at Mama Tian, Chen's heart said, no! Who doesn't know that you and Xu Wan are really in the same group. Until now, she only trusts her own eyes.
"Today I have to go. If you stop, I'll charge you with abuse. ”
Mama Tian didn't retreat at all, lowered her eyes and asked: "If it is said that eating fasting and reciting Buddha is abuse, is Madame accusing the Queen Mother of being unkind?" ”
Chen was choked up, how could she take it. If you say yes, it is disrespectful to the Queen Mother. To say no, wouldn't it be a slap in the mouth?
"Madam, what do you want to do in Zhiyuanju?" Seeing that she was silent, Mama Tian also took a step back and said, "The second young lady went to the palace, where there were only people in the courtyard. ”
"If there is any sending, take anything, but tell the old slave. I will definitely do my best for my wife. ”
Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "There is a cluster of evening chrysanthemums by the lake behind Zhiyuan, which was planted by me and Grandpa Guo when we were newly married. I want to see if it's okay. ”
She found a good excuse, and she naturally had to go in person to see the flowers.
It's the end of autumn now, and she doesn't say about appreciating chrysanthemums, but only about missing them. Mama Tian refuses to allow it, which is inevitably a little unkind.
"Madam," Mama Tian persuaded, "it's getting late at this time. Do you want to enjoy the scenery and wait for tomorrow? ”
Chen was anxious at this time, where could she wait?
Shaking his head firmly, he said, "As soon as I entered the Buddha hall, I thought of this flower, and it was such a whim, maybe it was the Buddha's instructions." If you don't take a look, you can't feel at ease. ”
In order to confirm the speculation in her mind, she even did not hesitate to bring out the Buddha.
The words have come to this, and she doesn't leave the house again, and Mama Tian can't just rely on it. Chunshan and Mama Liu both called up, waited for the Chen family to get dressed, and several people held wind lanterns and walked along the flower path towards Zhiyuanju.
In the backyard, only a few candles with windshields were left along the way, and they were dotted with stars.
It was another starless and moonless night, and the autumn wind blew through the branches, and under the faint light, it looked a little creepy.
Chunshan tightened his clothes, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, in the middle of the night, what is Mrs. going to do in Zhiyuanju? But she is a servant and can only obey.
Chen ignored it completely, and there was a mouthful of blood in her heart, which made her fearless of the environment.
She walked faster and faster, expecting a moment later to appear in front of her a panicked Zhiyuanju.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her decision was the right one. Coming here late at night, they must not be prepared. is to catch Yuanju off guard and see how they hide the fact that Xu Wanzhen has been robbed.
"Bang bang bang!" Mama Liu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the voice of Suo Suo came out of it, and someone asked, "Who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night?" ”
"Yes, ma'am."
"What?" The people inside were startled, and hurriedly opened the door and said in a loud voice, "The old slave greets Madame." The movement of the courtyard gate was transmitted inward, and the courtyard, which had been quiet, was lit one after another.
Chen glanced at the mother-in-law who opened the door expressionlessly, and asked, "When did the lock fall, is the yard still okay?" ”
The mother-in-law was surprised, and replied: "If Mrs. Hui is there, the second young lady is not there, and the courtyard will be locked in two moments." All is well. ”
His gaze turned around her face, and Chen was disappointed to find that there was no look on her face that she was expecting.
Perhaps, because she is just a janitor, she has no access to such confidential information.
She continued to walk inside, and on the way, little maids kept asking her for peace. On their faces, there was only surprise at her late night, and there was no panic, cover-up, or dodging in sight.
Mama Zheng greeted Bai Yao with her, and said with a smile: "The night is heavy, why is Madam here again with this leisure?" If there is something to command, the old body must do his best. ”
Chen frowned, these grandmothers from the palace are really annoying, they are all in a tone.
Raising eyebrows and glancing at her, Chen said, "I'll come to see the clump of evening chrysanthemums by the lake." It was planted by my own hands when I was newly married, and Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law is not there, so I'm afraid that you will not be satisfied. ”
When the words "Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law" were spoken, Chen stared at Mama Zheng's face, hoping to find a trace of stiffness in her expression.
But seeing Mama Zheng unhurriedly giving a gift, she said: "It turns out that the evening chrysanthemum by the lake was planted by the lady herself, and even the second young lady didn't know about it. A few days ago, the second young lady praised the flowers for blooming very well, and it turned out that there was such a reason. ”
I don't know if it's because of the ghost in her heart, Chen always feels that her words contain ironic questions.
She is an old man, and it seems that she will not get any useful information from her mouth. You should find someone who is young and hasn't experienced anything, so it's easy to talk to him.
Looking left and right, she asked, "Who is waiting for Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law to enter the palace?" The palace is not as good as elsewhere, it must be extra careful. ”
Mama Zheng replied respectfully: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the two first-class maids beside the second young lady are preparing to get married, so she brought a second-class maid Qingmai into the palace. Madame, you also know that you can't bring too many people into the palace. ”
Chen nodded and said, "It turns out that there are such happy events. As for the two maids who are preparing to marry, since they have caught up, I want to meet them. ”
Mama Zheng's heart is like a mirror, Chen's come to see the flowers is fake, and the spy is real.
If she doesn't see her tonight, she'll come up with other tricks tomorrow. It's better to let her die as soon as possible!
"They were embroidering wedding dresses recently, and they didn't call for it. Since Mrs. asked, it was their blessing, and the old body let people invite. ”
