Chapter 92: There's another show tonight
Then Lu's voice sounded: "Jin'er, Jin'er...... Where are you? Come out of here!"
"Hurry up and search this back garden, and search the corners and corners!"
Bai Mujin expected in her heart that the Lu family must have gotten some news, so she deliberately brought someone to block herself, if she was discovered now, she would not only have to be charged with murder, but also have to explain her relationship with King Xuan.
Although King Xuan has saved herself repeatedly, she can't guarantee that this person will joke about her reputation and marriage, but in her previous life, until she died, King Xuan was single, which shows that he is very reluctant to get married. If someone bumps into her and King Xuan together, her reputation will be ruined, and King Xuan is unwilling to be responsible, so she can only consider herself unlucky, and maybe she will have to be hooked. Attract the notoriety of the prince.
Bai Mujin glanced at Feng Jiuqing sadly, and said in a low voice: "It's okay now, the two of us are blocked here, and there is a dead person next to us, how to explain it?"
Feng Jiuqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't seem to like Bai Mujian's attitude, and said, "Are you afraid?"
Bai Mu Hibiscus didn't have much to fear, he just felt very irritable, and he wanted one more trouble for no reason, who could be happy.
"You beg me, I'll help you solve it!" Feng Jiuqing seemed to be confident, not worried at all that the person searching Bai Mu Hibiscus would find here.
Bai Mujian frowned slightly, looking at Feng Jiuqing, constantly calculating in her heart what was best for herself, it was not that she had no way to get out at all, but it would take a lot of effort to exonerate her afterwards.
If she owes another favor, she still needs to consider which is easier for her in the end or the price she will have to pay in the future.
"You have to think about it quickly, people will be there in a while!" Feng Jiuqing smiled like a fox, holding his arm idly and watching Bai Hibiscus's ever-changing expression.
Bai Muhibiscus glared at him secretly, and then said reluctantly: "Count me in debt to you again!"
"A smart and knowledgeable girl, very good!" Feng Jiuqing praised her, and then suddenly rolled Bai Hibiscus into her arms and flashed out from the other side of the cave.
At the same time, another figure rushed out from another direction, diverting everyone's attention.
"Ah...... The thief is there!" shouted the man in charge of the search, and everyone's eyes were directed, and then they ran after the fleeting figure.
Under Feng Jiuqing's cloak, Bai Hibiscus was hugged by him like a child, magically avoiding everyone's eyes and falling into his own Hibiscus Garden.
When Feng Jiuqing let go of her, what she saw was Bai Muchen and the magpie.
"Sister, it's great that you're okay!" Bai Muchen seemed to be greatly frightened, and immediately hugged Bai Muhibiscus and said this sentence with relief.
Bai Mujin looked at Feng Jiuqing suspiciously, but found that the person was gone, so she asked in wonder, "Chen'er, why are you here?"
The magpie hurriedly explained: "Not long after you left, I heard someone shouting for help, and I found that Sister Mandarin Duck fainted on the ground, her head was bleeding, and Miss Lu was also found fainting not far away." I knew that something had happened to you, and I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do, when I saw the eldest young master coming, saying that he wanted the slave to go back to Jinlan Garden to wait for you!"
Bai Muchen continued: "I didn't know what was going on, it was Ah Zhong next to King Xuan who came to me, and said that it was ordered by the prince!"
Bai Mujin nodded, and he had already sorted out the ins and outs of this matter in his heart, probably because King Xuan found out about this matter early in the morning, so he made such an arrangement.
Bai Mujin touched Bai Muchen's head, and then said, "You stay outside for a while, and I'll go change my clothes!"
The magpie hurriedly followed, and after a while, Bai Mujian changed into a coat, but suddenly found that the purse he was carrying was missing.
"Magpie, look for it, where did my purse go?" Bai Hibiscus calmed down a little and asked the magpie to help find it.
The magpie rummaged carefully in the pile of clothes that Bai Hibiscus had changed, but he didn't find it, so he said, "Miss, did you lose it in the back garden?"
Bai Hibiscus recalled it carefully, but he didn't have much of an impression, he must have accidentally dropped it while dodging. She quickly asked the magpie to take out a purse that was the same as the purse and put it on.
Fortunately, there was only some broken silver in the purse today, and there was nothing special, and even if someone picked it up, she could not admit it at all.
However, the Lu family will definitely not give up, she must make plans in advance.
After changing her clothes and seeing that she was okay, she went out with the magpie, and Bai Muchen was still waiting for her in the front yard. Bai Mujin beckoned: "Chen'er, no matter what others ask later, you just say that I haven't been out of the yard since I came back to change clothes, you know?"
Bai Muchen nodded and said, "Of course!"
Before she went out, she was blocked by the Lu family at the door of Jinlan Garden, and she was followed by Grandma Sun beside Old Madam Bai. It can be seen that Mrs. Bai already knew about this matter, and she was probably afraid of alarming the guests, so she sent Grandma Sun to deal with it.
Bai Mu Hibiscus pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Mother, what happened? Why didn't you listen to the play in front?"
Lu's Yin and Yang smiled weirdly, and then said: "The family was robbed, and I couldn't find you just now, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so come and see!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you mother for your concern, isn't Jin'er good?
Lu Shi looked at Bai Hibiscus's expression carefully, as if he wanted to find traces of her lying, but he saw Bai Hibiscus with a calm face and no panic.
There was a slight doubt in her heart, did she really not know or pretended to be calm?
Lu Shi took out the purse in his hand again and said, "Is this purse yours from Jin'er?" I remember that you have been wearing this purse on weekdays!"
"Oh, this purse looks like my real thing, but Jin'er's purse is here, oh...... I remember, this purse should have been made by the mandarin duck again!" Bai Mujian did not deny it, anyway, the mandarin duck fainted in the garden, and it was normal for the purse to be stolen.
Lu squinted, and sure enough, she found that Bai Hibiscus was still wearing an identical purse, but she refused to give up, and only said: "There are dead people in our house, and there is this purse next to the corpse, shouldn't Jin'er explain?"
"What? dead man, who died?" asked Bai Hibiscus, whose face turned white, and panicked.
Only then did Mama Sun speak: "It's Boss Yuan of the drama troupe, he is the pillar of the Double Happiness Troupe, the famous Danjiao, somehow he was killed, and the body was found in the rockery cave in the back garden!"
Bai Mujin gasped, stroked his heart, and said as if in shock: "Really? It's so scary, who killed it? Could it be the thief?"
Grandma Sun shook her head and said, "I don't know who the murderer is, and I don't dare to speak out now, for fear that the guests will be frightened, so the old lady only sent a slave to assist the lady in handling this matter!"
Bai Mujin lowered his head, sighed, and said: "It seems that the murderer must have taken advantage of the happy event in the mansion, and there were many people in the chaos, so he mixed into the mansion, I heard that the mandarin duck was also knocked unconscious in the back garden, is there something wrong with her?"
Lu sneered, and then said, "I heard that the mandarin duck came back with you to change clothes, why did you come back and she fainted in the garden?"
"Oh...... Because the mandarin duck said that something was lost, so I asked her to go back to find it, I was a little dizzy and came back and rested, but I didn't expect Chen'er to come, and our sister and brother talked for a while!" Bai Mu Hibiscus explained unhurriedly.
Lu Shi looked at her with meaningful eyes, and said: "But Jiaojiao didn't say that, she said that she saw you entangled with a man in the back garden, and then she was knocked unconscious, and you disappeared!"
Bai Mujin frowned slightly, looked at Lu Shi and said, "Mother, is that really what Cousin Jiaojiao said? Did she have someone break her brain and wronged me indiscriminately? I haven't seen her in the back garden at all!"
What else did the Lu family want to say, but Mama Sun preemptively said: "This matter still needs to be verified, but now that there is a drama in the house, if you don't suppress it, I'm afraid it will be another trouble, and the old lady is the most taboo matter, and this matter must not be allowed to spread!"
"Hey...... It's really unlucky, there was a death in the house on a happy day, and I don't know what Sister Mu would think!" Lu pretended to sigh melancholy, but her heart blossomed, she wished that things would make as much trouble as possible, first to confirm Mu Xinping's ominousness, and then to involve Bai Hibiscus, that is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
It's just that she also knows that she has to take care of the Bai family's face, so she can only make plans after the guests leave, and her own affairs are naturally handled behind closed doors and not let others see the jokes, but afterwards, she doesn't mind spreading a little rumor to others.
"Grandma Sun, this matter is very important, and I can't make the decision, so I'd better wait for the old lady to deal with it, hey...... Since this purse appeared next to the corpse, it may be evidence!" Lu shook the purse in his hand and looked at Bai Mujian with an unkind look.
Bai Mu Hibiscus just didn't see it, and said to Grandma Sun: "Grandma Sun, you have to help Grandmother check carefully." However, in the ninth-rate profession of the troupe, there are no messy things? It can't be said that it was because of their infighting that they succeeded in murder, and they still have to rely on our mansion, so they may not be able to extort a sum of money!"
As soon as she said this, Mama Sun couldn't help but nod and said, "Well, it's indeed possible, but now there is no evidence, and the old lady also means to try to clear up the relationship between our house, so as not to leave someone to talk about it!"
Bai Mujin also nodded, as long as Old Madam Bai didn't want to get involved in the matter, even if the Lu family wanted to make trouble again, it wouldn't be able to make trouble, after all, it was about the face of the Ningguo Mansion, and Old Madam Bai wouldn't care who was the murderer, she would only care about whether it would damage the interests of the Bai family.
What she said just now was also to give Mama Sun an idea, as long as the matter was pushed into the troupe, it would have nothing to do with their Ningguo Mansion, if Lu Jiaojiao dared to talk nonsense, she didn't mind beating her.
"Mother, where is the mandarin duck now, I want to go and see her!" asked Bai Muhibiscus.
Lu said: "She is resting in the lower room now, and quietly invited the doctor to come and see, saying that it is not a big deal, let her rest, what are you going to do to see her?"
If you want to make a confession, it's not so easy, you must not let Bai Mujin meet with the mandarin duck before the old lady comes forward, otherwise how will she sing the next scene.
Seeing this, Bai Mujin was not reluctant, but said: "Since the mandarin duck is fine, then I can rest assured, what about my cousin, okay?"
"She's frightened, it's okay to rest in my yard!" Lu replied, in short, not giving Bai Muhibiscus any chance to get close to her two most important witnesses.
"In that case, then I won't bother her, there are still a bunch of young ladies waiting for me to greet me in the plum garden, so I won't talk to my mother!" Bai Mu Hibiscus seemed to be completely unconcerned about this matter.
Lu Shi was made by her indifferent attitude, and now she doesn't understand Bai Hibiscus's mind more and more, since when did this girl become so tricky and difficult?
Bai Mujin didn't care what she meant, so she was about to leave with the magpie, and also beckoned Bai Muchen to go to the front yard to entertain the male guests. Bai Muchen naturally cooperated and followed out of Jinlan Garden.
As soon as he avoided Lu's eyes, Bai Mujian quietly commanded the magpie a few words, and then went to the plum garden quietly. As soon as they arrived at the plum garden, the magpie left under the pretext of an excuse.
Bai Hibiscus continued to communicate with the ladies, appreciating plum blossoms and tasting wine, talking and laughing, as if he had completely forgotten what had just happened.
Only Lu Feiyuan quietly came over and asked, "Lu Jiaojiao has been missing for a long time, where did she go?"
"Don't ask, cousin, when the guests leave, you'll know that there must be a good show tonight!" Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled mysteriously.
