Volume 2: The Undead in Captivity 22 Jokers

Chu Rongzhen woke up from her sleep and opened her obsidian-like eyes, revealing a touch of coldness.

Got up, looked at the bandaged wound on his shoulder, the slight weight of his feet, and cast his eyes on the wooden box pressed against the quilt.

His expression immediately became complicated.

Ignoring the abnormality in her heart, Chu Rongzhen got up calmly, stretched out her hand to pull the long hook of the curtain, and moved secretly in the bed.

Kneeling on the edge of the bed, he reached out and opened the large urn hidden in the middle, opened the lid and examined it carefully, listened to the sound inside, reached out and stabbed a small hole in his index finger, squeezed a few drops of blood into it, and then closed the lid......

After a qiē restored to its original state, Chu Rongzhen sat on the bed and called softly, "Come in!" ”

Shu'er walked in with a basin, her eyes were gray and blue, and she appeared in front of Chu Rongzhen with two dark circles under her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"What else, I haven't slept all night!" Shu'er put down the basin in her hand, wet the towel and handed it to Chu Rongzhen, looked at her quietly, and asked with interest: "Now, miss, who was that man last night?" ”

"Since you know a man is coming in, you're going to watch it?" Chu Rongzhen glanced at her, her expression flat.

"I can't beat it, I can't help it. And isn't your secret guard moving? She's not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry! Shu'er replied indifferently.

Yesterday she sensed a man coming in, but the female guard didn't make a move, she wasn't smart, but she wasn't stupid.

"As my maid, I let others in, starting today, you will be punished for only five bowls of rice per meal for three days!"

"Ah...... Miss, slave beg, don't, you can't eat enough in five bowls......" Hearing this, Shu'er's exaggerated legs knelt on the ground, hugged Chu Rongzhen's legs, and immediately cried loudly.

"There's no need to discuss, one day I'll be taken away by the assassins, you will probably watch it, and it's useless to raise you!"

"Miss, the slave knows it's wrong, give the slave a chance, there won't be a next time!"

Two bowls of rice are missing in one meal, isn't this killing her?

Is it the worst thing to eat until you are half-full?

"Go away, no negotiation, this is a lesson!"

Kicking Shu'er away, Chu Rongzhen got up and walked out, ignoring Shu'er, who was kneeling on the ground and secretly hating herself, and hooked her lips in a good mood.

It's also quite pleasant to have a living treasure around.

After eating a breakfast, I heard that someone wanted to see her.

When Chu Rongzhen heard that it was Ling Liang who wanted to see her, she nodded and moved to the garden.

Today's weather is very cold, and the more winter it gets, the colder it gets, which also shows the passage of time.

Wearing a warm coat, Chu Rongzhen came to the garden with Shu'er's support.

After all, she couldn't let him enter the courtyard of a woman who hadn't left the pavilion, and although the garden was colder, it wouldn't let out the words.

Ling Liang put his hands behind his back, and turned his head slightly with the sound of footsteps.

"Zhen'er!" Ling Liang's eyes flashed with a smile, looking at her in a light green dress, with a pure white fur on the outside, which made her little face even more cute and innocent.

"Cousin is looking for me?" Chu Rongzhen sighed and frowned slightly.

She doesn't like winter and always remembers bad memories.

"Well, something, you're cold? Do you want to go to your sister's place and bake the fire? ”

"It's okay, it's just that I hate winter from the bottom of my heart, the temperature was fine some time ago, but today it suddenly cooled down, which is unpleasant!"

The words of love made Ling Liang smile and squint.

Stretched out his hand and invited Chu Rongzhen to sit on a chair in the pavilion on the side, and he had prepared hot tea and charcoal fire, although the cold wind was a little strong, but it was not unbearable.

Sitting down, Ling Liang personally made tea, boiled a cup and handed it to Chu Rongzhen.

Taking a light sip, Chu Rongzhen squinted, "My cousin came early in the morning because something happened outside?" I guess, the aftermath of Miss Cheng's death? ”

"Yes, early this morning, Tianxiang Building was sealed!"

Listening to Ling Liang's words, Chu Rongzhen put down the cup and raised her eyes to look at him, "Sure enough, it's the same as I thought!" ”

"You knew from the beginning that Tianxiang Mansion belonged to Xie Mo's mother's family?"

Being quietly watched by Chu Rongzhen's inky eyes, Ling Liang's heart jumped slightly, and a strange feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart, since yesterday he knew that her eyes could see and his figure could be imprinted on the bottom of her eyes, he hadn't slept all night.

I don't understand the feeling in my heart, but I'm more happy, and I know her secret, as if I've been classified as someone she can trust.

"I don't know that Tianxianglou is Xie Mo's mother's power, I felt that the soup and bean sprouts were drugged during the meal, but because I left, I didn't see the scene when the food was served, and it was not very clear when the medicine was given. At that time, I guessed that the only people who poisoned were Xie Mo, Yanshu, and Cheng Xue......"

"Yanshu, how can you doubt him?" Ling Liang's movements were stunned, and he was a little puzzled.

"I had some grudges with Yanshu, but when I finally saw that it was aimed at my sister, I dispelled my suspicions about him, and finally locked up the murderer as one of Xie Mo and Cheng Xue."

Ling Liang nodded in agreement, with a stern expression, "Yes, Cheng Ning died in the Chu Palace, and Cheng Xue has a reason to target his cousin." And Xie Mo has failed against you recently, and it is very likely that he wants to attack you and your sister......"

Drinking a cup of hot tea, there was a burst of warmth in his stomach, which also dispelled the cold, and Chu Rongzhen's expression softened a little.

"At first, I didn't know if it was Xie Mo's hand or Cheng Xue. Because the target is not necessarily my sister, but also me, because I can't see with my eyes, everything I eat is my sister's own hands, and you can't be a man who can pick up vegetables for me. At that time, I was thinking, if the target is me and my sister, then the murderer is Xie Mo, and if the target is my sister, Cheng Xue is very suspicious. ”

"When are you sure that Xie Mo did it? Yesterday, you deliberately said that, just to make Mrs. Cheng think that Tianxianglou is the property of Xie Mo's mother's family and the Lin family. ”

Ling Liang's tone was very sure, yesterday he thought that she would only say that kind of thing just to make Mrs. Cheng hate Xie Mo, and after he went back, he had a good idea of what to think about.

From the very beginning, Zhen'er knew that the murderer was Xie Mo.

"Yesterday, Xie Mo's expression was wrong, his tone was wrong, didn't any of you notice?" Chu Rongzhen watched Ling Liang add hot water to her, and stretched out her index finger to clasp it lightly.

"Nope!" Ling Liang thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I am very sensitive to people's voices, because I have been blind before, so I can only distinguish that person's feelings from people's voices, so as not to provoke the other person to be angry and invite abuse. When Xie Mo and Mrs. Cheng quarreled, the tone of her voice accelerated, and she was so anxious that she cleared up, but her heartbeat accelerated and her breathing accelerated......"

"So?" Ling Liang was both curious and distressed in his heart.

From a person's voice to distinguish the feelings, careful to please will avoid abuse, Jane's previous life turned out to be so hard?

Ling Liang didn't know that Chu Rongzhen was talking about his life in the past three years in his previous life. She was abused and beaten when she couldn't see with both eyes, and gradually she learned to tell from a person's tone whether he was happy or angry now, so as to reduce the number of times she was abused.

"There is only one possibility of shortness of breath for no reason, and that is that the heart is beating faster. On that occasion, the heart accelerated, especially when Mrs. Cheng said that Cheng Xue also didn't eat bean sprouts, she suddenly dropped her chopsticks in shock, there was only one guess, Xie Mo was weak in heart! ”

Chu Rongzhen's affirmative tone, with a faint smile, analyzed yesterday's events, and his words were very clear, so that Ling Liang completely understood it as soon as he heard it.

"I knew that it was Xie Mo, so I was guessing at the time that it might be Cheng Xue who was poisoned and Xie Mo who gave the antidote, but I didn't know that Cheng Xue also died because he didn't eat bean sprouts. Cheng Xue personally distributed the soup, and poisoning it was very simple, but Xie Mo didn't have a chance, so I guessed that someone outside Tianxiang Lou would help her with the medicine. ”

"So you were trying to remind people that someone might have been drugged when the food was brought in? Why is Mrs. Cheng angry? ”

Ling Liang asked suspiciously, he had known about the property of Tianxianglou and the Lin family before, but it didn't mean that Mrs. Cheng would know, right?

"I don't know this, Mrs. Cheng would make such a move when she was angry, no one would have imagined!" Chu Rongzhen raised her eyebrows, shook her head, and didn't admit it at all.

Ling Liang looked at her quietly a few times, and finally didn't ask any more.

After a few casual conversations, Ling Liang got up and said goodbye and left, it was not good to stay alone with her, although there were too many questions, I believed that there was a chance to talk next time.

After Ling Liang left, Chu Rongzhen sat in the pavilion and made tea for herself.

And Shu'er smelled the fragrance of tea, sat opposite her unceremoniously, picked up an empty cup and put it in front of Chu Rongzhen's eyes, the meaning was very clear.

Chu Rongzhen smiled, filled her up, and tasted silently.

Shu'er stared at Chu Rongzhen and took a sip, "Liar, obviously you deliberately provoked Mrs. Cheng." ”

Chu Rongzhen raised her eyebrows: "Oh? ”

"You're lying, you deliberately said those words to provoke Mrs. Cheng, you knew from the beginning that Mrs. Cheng would do this kind of thing!" Shu'er replied seriously, there was no hatred on her face, but admiration.

Chu Rongzhen smiled faintly, revealing a playful smile, playing with the teacup with one hand.

"Shu'er, how can teaching a nasty person a lesson be enjoyable and effortless?" The faint sound is like a breeze in the underworld, gloomy and terrifying, hooking people's hearts to beat wildly.

"A hard lesson!" Waving her hands, Shu'er struck a fighting stance.

"Teaching that in person is the most laborious move, and you will find that after the lesson, you will not be relieved, because you have spent effort to teach that person, and it is not worth it!"

Lazily raising her eyes, Chu Rongzhen's eyes were dark, flashing with strange ink.

Shu'er looked at it incomprehensibly, but didn't answer.

"To teach a nuisance a lesson is to teach another annoying person a lesson, to watch them pinch each other to the point of image damage, and you can sit quietly and watch this boring fight. Although it is a clown performance, you will find that even if it is a clown, it can still amuse you and make you happy. ”

As if she understood or not, Shu'er looked at Chu Rongzhen's expression, and subconsciously felt a chill in her heart.

"Call me a monster, in my opinion, you're more like a monster!"

Shu Er muttered to herself, and it reached Chu Rongzhen's ears word for word, causing her to suddenly laugh, and the laughter was weird and infiltrating......
