421. Chapter 421: Missing
Soon, Mu Xiaofeng walked to the door.
"Miss" Hongying was stunned when she saw her coming, and then greeted her, and said with a ashamed face, "It's the slave maid who is not well arranged." ”
Mu Xiaofeng waved his hand, glanced at the black pressed coffin that had "fallen" squarely outside the door, and said lightly, "Find a way to solve this matter first." ”
"Miss"
Hongying looked out with some confusion, and said in a suppressed voice, "This is the Li family in the South Fifth Lane of Huadong Street, the slave maid has already inquired, and their family has indeed been doing a funeral in the past two days." ”
Mu Xiaofeng was also a little surprised, "I'm really doing a funeral"
She was the same as Qingruo, thinking that someone was deliberately making trouble; But after thinking about it, she wondered again, "Don't they know that our house is doing happy events?"
Even if they really do a funeral, they should know that avoiding it is, they can go around two long roads when they go out of the funeral, why do they have to pass in front of their house
Hongying's face sank, glanced at the people who were in a hurry outside the door, and said softly, "The slave maid heard that the other two roads had an accident at the same time, and they would probably be impassable for a while. ”
This funeral is also time-conscious, so the Li family will not care about avoiding it and pass in front of their mansion instead.
Mu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, "So, this is not a simple accident. ”
It is clear that someone took advantage of the Li family's funeral, but what is the purpose of the person behind it
It's just a matter of adding to their family's troubles
Mu Xiaofeng looked at the coffin bearers outside the door shouting for broken ropes, and his eyes were slightly cold.
Those hemp ropes soaked in tung oil kept going on morning and night, and they didn't break until the door of their house, which was really a coincidence
"Miss, what are they doing" Qing Ruo looked at the people outside in amazement, and when she saw them, she carried away the coffin that had been blocked for a while.
Red Shadow glanced at her, and said angrily, "What else do you ask?"
Qingruo licked her lips and explained a little anxiously, "Miss, the slave maid didn't mean that, the slave maid said that they would leave."
It was blocked for a long time, but it was simply because the rope was broken, which was an accident
She was thinking that if these people refused to leave, they would go to the kitchen to get the black dog's blood first; If they still refuse to leave, it proves that these people don't care about the dead at all, maybe there is no body in the coffin at all, and they think that they can set fire to burn this bad thing; Otherwise, report to the official and let the yamen handle the matter.
But what's going on right now?
Nothing happened, they changed the broken rope, patted their butts and left
Bai added bad luck to their house, and made her young lady angry.
Mu Xiaofeng glanced at her, turned around and walked back, "If you don't leave, how do you want to invite them into the house for a meal?"
Qingruo opened her mouth, looking at Hongying shaking her head and having arranged for someone to deal with the matter at the door, she finally closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Just when this unexpected farce happened outside the gate of Mufu, something unusual happened in the new house in the backyard.
In the new room, the red candles are flickering, and the festive red in the room is swaying into layers of gorgeous beauty.
The bride wore a red hijab and a red phoenix crown and sat upright on the wedding bed. In addition to Ji Yuan's personal maid Huan Zhu'er, there is also a grandmother and two brides standing next to her.
The red candle burst the core, and suddenly made a "bang" sound, Zhu'er jumped in shock, subconsciously looked at the bride, and then turned her head to look at the closed door.
"Knock knock" A few knocks on the door suddenly came in when Zhu'er was a little distracted, she calmed down, and then walked by the door and asked, "Who?"
"It's Zhu'er, I'm Red Shadow," the voice outside the door stopped, "My young lady told me to bring a few words to the young grandmother." ”
Zhu'er has lived in Mufu for a long time, and she is naturally no stranger to the voice of the red shadow.
The door squeaked open, and Zhu'er glanced out of the door before welcoming Red Shadow in with a smile, "Sister Red Shadow, you come in and talk." ”
Hongying walked in slowly, glanced at the dignified and meditating bride, and said with a smile, "By the way, Zhu'er, is there a grandmother surnamed Jin next to your wife?"
Zhu'er was stunned, "yes." ”
Red Shadow smiled with relief, "Yes, I thought I was in a hurry and made a mistake. ”
Zhu'er looked dazed, "Didn't you say that the eldest lady asked you to pass on a few words, why is it related to Mama Jin next to my wife?"
"Oh, that's right," Red Shadow explained, raising her hand and brushing the hair that touched her cheeks, in a very normal way, "I met Mama Jin outside just now, and she asked me to pass on a message that your wife wants you to go back; I don't know what it is, but she's waiting for you in the garden outside. ”
Zhu'er rolled her eyes in confusion, "It's really strange, what's the matter with Mrs. at this hour?"
According to custom, Ji Yuan's parents, as their mother's family, naturally did not come to Mufu to drink wine; And Ji Yuan will be the bride, and she can't speak until the groom takes off the red hijab.
Although Zhu'er was puzzled, she looked at the red shadow and didn't think much about anything else; She glanced at the bride again, and said a little uneasy, "Then Miss has Sister Lao Hongying here, you can take care of it for the time being." ”
Hongying covered her mouth and smiled, squinting at her eyes full of ridicule, "You just went to the garden to meet Mama Jin, there are still so many people guarding your young lady here, what do you have to worry about." ”
Zhu'er thought about it for a while, "Miss, the slave will go back as soon as she goes." ”
Red Shadow sent her out with a smile, and then gently closed the door of the new house. However, the moment the red shadow turned around, there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes that fell on the bride's red hijab suddenly became cold and terrifying.
Zhu'er got out of the new house and walked to the side of the garden as Hongying said, but she walked around the garden and didn't see Mama Jin.
"Red Shadow won't lie to me," Zhu'er muttered with a frown, still circling the garden under her feet, "It's still Mama Jin who can't wait for me to come because of something temporary, so I'll leave first."
Zhu'er thought about it, but she wanted to find someone to ask, but the people in Mufu were not familiar with Mama Jin, even if she really pulled someone to ask, I was afraid that it would be in vain.
"Forget it, I'll look around again, if I still don't see anyone, then I'll find time to go back to see Madame another day."
With her mind in mind, Zhu'er immediately quickened her pace, but her eyes widened as she looked around the garden.
However, after turning around again, I still didn't see Mama Jin.
Zhu'er shook her head a little discouraged, and decided to go back to the new house first.
However, before she could get close to the new house, she suddenly smelled a smell of blood in the vicinity, and according to the direction of the wind, this smell of blood should have wafted from the new house.
"New house" Zhu'er was stunned, her heart froze, and then she was shocked, and ran towards the new house with her skirt, "Miss"
When Zhu'er ran out of breath to the new house, the door was still closed.
Due to the banquet in the front yard, most of the people in the Mu Mansion were sent to the front yard to help. The backyard where the new house is located, except for the festive red silk that can be seen everywhere, is actually very quiet, and it is even more rare to see people walking outside.
Zhu'er stared at the ordinary door in front of her, but her heart suddenly jumped wildly.
She hesitated for a moment before reaching out and pushing the door hard.
The door was not closed, and as soon as she pushed it, it opened.
"Miss" Zhu'er was anxious, and when she opened the door, she stared wide-eyed and hurriedly looked at the happy bed.
However, the wedding bed was empty, and the bride who was supposed to sit on the bed was gone.
Zhu'er was shocked, so she pushed the door open completely, and then hurriedly stepped in.
However, when she lifted her foot, she almost tripped directly.
When she looked down, she almost screamed in fright, "Ah" but halfway through this scream, she quickly covered her mouth and swallowed back the voice behind her.
At his feet, the corpse of one of the bridesmaids was bleeding all over the ground.
Zhu'er looked farther on the ground with a white face, and saw another bride lying on the ground with wide eyes, and then inside, it was the corpse of a grandmother.
Zhu'er trembled and kept looking at the bed and the ground, for fear that Ji Yuan's corpse would be seen in this red and dizzy happy room.
She searched for a long time before she was sure that Ji Yuan was not lying on the ground dead like these people.
Zhu'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Amitabha, the Buddha must bless my young lady with good fortune." ”
As soon as this breath of relief was relieved, Zhu'er realized that she was so frightened that her legs were so weak that she couldn't even walk.
Not only couldn't walk, she bent her knees, and the whole person was so weak that she fell down unexpectedly.
She almost fell on the corpse of a bride by the door, and she was so startled that she wanted to open her mouth and scream again, but fortunately she still had reason under fear, so she couldn't hold back and didn't scream again.
But when her hands were propped up, she was inevitably stained with blood on her hands, and looking at the sticky and greasy blood body that exuded a sweet smell of scarlet, Zhu'er was so shocked that she almost fainted.
However, at this time, she knew that she must not faint.
The young lady didn't know what was going on, let alone where she was at the moment, and she had to report what happened here in the new house to the eldest lady.
"I don't look at it, I don't look at it" Zhu'er trembled and silently recited several times, twisted her head, stared at the eyes and went out of the door wholeheartedly, and finally dragged her weak legs out of the new room for a long time.
Out of the suffocating red eyes of the new house, Zhu'er dared to gasp for air.
After a long breath, she slowly climbed to her feet by the pillar next to her.
Then, holding her breath, she stumbled out with a frightened face.
When I saw people along the way, I felt like I had lost my soul, and I asked anxiously and frightenedly, "Where is the eldest lady?"
When Zhu'er was looking for Mu Xiaofeng in the courtyard, Mu Xiaofeng was entertaining guests in a living room in the front yard.
Before Zhu'er found the front yard, a little girl reported the matter to Mu Xiaofeng.
"She doesn't accompany her sister-in-law in the new house, she runs around looking for me what to do"
Mu Xiaofeng was puzzled, and after hearing Xiao Yahuan's description of Zhu'er's abnormal situation, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
It was naturally inappropriate to let Zhu'er run directly into the living room, Mu Xiaofeng gave Hongying a look, and then apologized to the guests, "Everyone will be with you first." ”
After that, he walked out of the living room and went to the nearby ear room, and then he commanded, "Bring Zhu'er here to meet me." ”
Soon, Zhu'er, who was in an embarrassment, was brought to Mu Xiaofeng.
"Pearl, what's going on?"
Zhu'er heard this familiar and reassuring voice, and finally recovered from her extreme horror and anxiety, "Miss, please go and save Miss." As she spoke, she didn't know if it was because her feet were soft or something else, but her body was crooked, and she almost fell to the ground.
Mu Xiaofeng's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to help her up, but asked softly without showing his face, "Don't worry, let's make things clear first." ”
Zhu'er grabbed her arm hard, and looked at her calm and calm eyebrows from close at hand, and the panic in her heart seemed to have faded a little.
"Miss, go and have a look at the new house." Pearls grabbed her arm, but her legs were still limp and unsteady. It was only at this time that tears flowed from Zhu'er's eyes, "Dead, they are all dead"
Mu Xiaofeng frowned, her uneasiness became more and more intense, and she didn't ask her who died.
She helped Zhu'er up, turned her head outside and ordered, "Leng Yue, you come in and help her to go to the new house together." ”
To say that the most leisurely person in Mu Mansion at the moment is Leng Yue, who is only responsible for protecting Mu Xiaofeng's safety, and even Qing Ruo, who is in charge of pouring tea and delivering water, will not be by Mu Xiaofeng's side.
"Yes, miss." Leng Yue entered in response, only swept Zhu'er, who was pale and frightened, and stepped forward to hold her without any doubt.
"I can go," Zhu'er looked at Mu Xiaofeng, gritted her teeth, and reluctantly stood up calmly, "Leng Yue, you better follow the eldest lady to protect her." ”
Leng Yue glanced at her and saw that although her legs were still trembling, her eyes showed a faint stubbornness.
Mu Xiaofeng also turned his head to look at her, and nodded when he saw this, "Since you can go by yourself, then let's hurry over." ”
In fact, Zhu'er's legs were still weak, but she thought about it, the current whereabouts of the young lady are unknown, she has to take into account the reputation of the young lady, and no one should see her abnormality.
Mu Xiaofeng also understood her protector's thoughts, and she didn't force her at the moment, greeted Leng Yue, and took the lead in going out to the new house in the backyard.
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Xiaofeng finally arrived at the new house.
Of course, a door can't close the strong smell of blood in the room.
Mu Xiaofeng's heart tightened, Leng Yue had already stepped forward one step ahead of her, forming a protective posture vigilantly, and then gently pushed the door open.
In sight, there were several corpses mixed with blood that had fallen to the ground in horror.
They all had the same look of horror and surprise on their faces, and their bright red clothes mixed with scarlet blood, reflecting the flush of the new house.
Mu Xiaofeng looked at it, and his heart beat wildly uncontrollably, and he was a little dizzy in an instant.
With a stumble on her feet, she unconsciously stepped back.
"Miss" Leng Yue quickly supported her, "Are you okay?"
Mu Xiaofeng shook his head, his face was white in stark contrast to the blush in the new house, "You go in and take a closer look to see if there are any clues." ”
