Chapter 204: Between Life and Death
Red Shadow's eyes widened slightly, and he looked stunned.
Mu Xiaofeng winked at her with a smile, and then explained in detail softly. Hongying listened to her quietly, her eyes widened now, and she thought that Miss's idea was really a rhythm of spending money, but she was a local tyrant who was really a little painful.
According to the young lady, a large amount of silver will be poured out like water. Oh no, it should be said that it was spilled out regardless of the cost.
As to whether the money was worth it in the end, this--Red Shadow felt that he was not in a position to judge the actions of the young lady.
As long as the young lady thinks it is worth it, then it is worth spending more money.
Besides, she thinks that the young lady has a very reasonable saying. The silver is earned and spent, and all this silver is earned back by the young lady, so the young lady can spend it as she wants.
There is Mu Xiaofeng secretly fueling her good sister, and insinuating that Ye Ling'er is seduce other people's husbands, and the opera is becoming more and more popular in all parts of the capital.
"I really underestimated that concubine." In a quiet pavilion in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Ling'er wrung her handkerchief resentfully, gritted her teeth and snorted, "Since that woman is in a hurry to reincarnate, even Lord Yama is ready to accept her, Miss, I have no reason to disagree." ”
Mu Mingyue thought that after having those insinuating operas that were widely spread in the upper class and wealthy classes, her husband and wife would gradually dislike Ye Ling'er, and if Ye Ling'er still wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, she should not be a man who would pester her anymore.
It's a pity that she didn't really know those two people at all, and the things she spent a lot of energy and money on with high hopes didn't go in the direction she expected at all.
To her surprise, Yan or Shi secretly had closer contact with Ye Ling'er after that, and not long after, he also became a small official.
Although this power is not great, it is also a first-class official figure of two mouths.
At this time, not to mention alienating Ye Ling'er, Yan or Shi didn't even bother to do the drama in front of Mu Mingyue, so he almost had a regular tryst with Ye Ling'er openly and blatantly.
Recently, Mu Mingyue even got the news that Yan or Shi was quietly preparing to ask Ye Ling'er for marriage.
In order to make this pearl of the Zuo Xiang's family die for him, it is said that he also spent a lot of ingenuity waiting for Ye Ling'er to give Ye Linger a big surprise on the day of his marriage.
"Asking for a kiss?" In addition to Mu Mingyue's continuous sneer, she was already so sad and angry that she didn't know what to say.
However, with her in the main room, she wanted to see what Yan or Shi used to ask that woman for marriage.
Mu Mingyue didn't know that when she was wholeheartedly confirming, or sabotaging Yan or Shi, she asked Ye Ling'er to kiss this heart-wrenching matter.
There is a new continuation of the version of the story she made, to the effect that the relationship between the husband and wife was falling apart when the poor couple had a conflict due to the intervention of another woman. But in this version, the husband and the woman are inseparable from each other, but they do not elope in the end.
When the wife couldn't save her husband's heart, she coincidentally and unintentionally discovered that the woman who intervened approached her husband with ulterior motives, so she tried hard to dissuade her. However, the husband was obsessed, and later the woman secretly planned an accident to kill the wife in order to achieve her goal.
Later, she lived with her husband and lived together, but soon after she gave birth in less than a month, and was exposed to the fact that she was suffering from a vicious illness and was dissolute.
However, this follow-up version is only circulating in a small area, and the three parties are still in a state of ignorance for the time being.
On this day, Mu Mingyue got the exact news, confirming that her husband was going to ask Ye Ling'er for marriage in a unique way in Huxin Pavilion today.
As for how to make a difference, this has always been kept secret, and Mu Mingyue couldn't find out the specific details with a lot of effort.
"Yan or Shi, since you are shameless to give face, then we are simply shameless." Mu Mingyue snorted resentfully, picked up the makeup box and smashed it at the bronze mirror, and the mirror shattered to the ground with a bang.
She was angry at the moment, and she didn't notice that the mirror was shattered into pieces, but it invariably reflected her hideous and hateful expression from multiple angles.
A woman is a person who pleases herself, no matter how beautiful she dresses up, no one appreciates it, so why bother to dress up.
"Even if you want to let Ye Ling'er's slut enter the door as a concubine, you have to see if I, the lady of the main room, agree." She gritted her teeth and sneered, "Not to mention that Xiao thinks about my position." ”
smashed the mirror, Mu Mingyue flicked her sleeves, and angrily went out of the door and went straight to the Huxin Pavilion in a carriage.
The Pavilion in the center of the lake is a pavilion built in the center of the lake, the lake is surrounded by mountains, and it is also a place with a good view.
Somehow, this place with picturesque scenery and tourists on weekdays has become an inaccessible place today.
When Mu Mingyue approached this place, she was surprised and a little uneasy at the same time; However, at this moment, she was all focused on how to stop Yan or Shi from courting her and how to humiliate Ye Ling'er fiercely, so she didn't have the energy to ponder the unusual things for a while.
Thinking of the wonderful scene she specially arranged for Ye Ling'er later, she couldn't stop sneering excitedly in her heart.
In order to prevent the people on the Huxin Pavilion from discovering their whereabouts too early, Mu Mingyue even changed into men's clothes and disguised herself as a man, and her personal maid Chun Shao also disguised herself as a maid to follow around.
If you want to climb the lake pavilion, one is to slowly swing through a pool of waves by rafting, and the other is to walk step by step from the nine-curved pontoon bridge.
In order to hide her whereabouts, Mu Mingyue naturally wouldn't let people prepare any boats to wait here in advance, so she could only choose to walk over from the Jiuqu pontoon bridge.
This nine-curved pontoon bridge is built with a special taste, and it is not simply made of bare wooden planks connected on the surface of the water.
The so-called nine songs are imitations of the tactful detour of the Jiangnan mood, and these pontoon bridges are built with deep winding paths. In order to add graceful charm, some plants that are easy to grow in the water are also planted on both sides of the pontoon bridge on the water.
From a distance, the nine-curved pontoon bridge connects the landing ground and the lake pavilion like a gorgeous belt dotted with flowers and greenery.
At this moment, Mu Mingyue walked cautiously and cautiously on the pontoon bridge step by step, not to mention that the sight angle of the Huxin Pavilion could not see the movement in the pontoon bridge. Even if you can see it clearly, the young men and women who are playing affectionately and sweetly in the Huxin Pavilion don't have the extra heart to pay attention to the movements here.
Mu Mingyue walked very carefully step by step, this pontoon bridge is no better than others, if she is not careful, she is very likely to fall into the water.
And she won't swim in the water, in case .......
An extremely terrible thought suddenly turned in her heart, and Mu Mingyue couldn't help but stiffen.
Thinking that in case in the Huxin Pavilion, the man or the woman or the two conspired to play this play, just to lure her onto the pontoon bridge, and then make her accidentally fall into the water .......
Mu Mingyue's blood all over her body seemed to be cold and coagulated in an instant, and the calves raised below trembled and couldn't take a step.
However, she looked back at the pontoon bridge that had already been walked for the most part, and if she had returned in vain because of doubt and fear in her heart, she would not be reconciled in any way.
But as she continued to walk, she was really afraid that the men and women on the other side of the Huxin Pavilion had secretly set some kind of killing trap for her.
Mu Mingyue was hesitating for a while, and when she felt that it was difficult to choose, the voices of people on the side of the Huxin Pavilion came faintly with the wind.
"Ling'er, I am strict or take heaven and earth as a witness to the sun and the moon today, and formally ask you for marriage," the voice was rigorous and excited, but full of affection, as if the water in this lake was pouring in, "Are you willing to marry me?" ”
When this sentence fell in Mu Mingyue's ears, she felt that the whole person was banged as if she had been blown up by something, and she couldn't hear a word of the voices floating behind her.
At this time, the hesitation that had just been born of timidity under her feet was completely gone, and she was only full of anger and resentment at this moment, and only thought of going over and asking the shameless man and woman in person.
The anger in her heart was burning, and her feet unconsciously became like flying, and she didn't even realize that the spring peony beside her didn't keep up with her.
At this moment, Mu Mingyue was wearing men's clothes, and there was no obstacle to the floor-to-ceiling skirt stumbling, she walked faster and faster, and finally, she ran quickly on the pontoon.
Running and running, I don't know where I suddenly stepped on, and suddenly I heard a small "click" sound under my feet.
Mu Mingyue stepped on the air under her feet, and her heart was shocked, and her brain immediately blessed her heart, and she thought of the possibility she had predicted just now. But when she was anxious to retract her feet, she was horrified to find that it was too late.
As soon as she stepped on the empty place, the wooden planks attached to the pontoon suddenly snapped apart as if they were infected, and they quickly snapped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, she trembled uncontrollably, and her whole body fell into the water with the broken plank. But she was in a hurry, and when she fell, she quickly grabbed the rope of the coherent pontoon bridge next to her.
However, this rope, which usually looks extremely strong and strong, will be just the last straw that exudes the sweet fragrance of temptation for Mu Mingyue.
Straw is never life-saving, and it often kills people faster because of its deceptive nature.
When Mu Mingyue firmly grasped the rope, it "snapped" and tightened at both ends, and then broke off again in her desperate and frightened eyes.
This time, Mu Mingyue, who didn't know how to water, couldn't hold anything that could save her life in the water in a panic.
But she didn't want to die, at least she didn't want to be killed like this by the pair of dog men and women in the Lake Pavilion at this moment.
She held a breath of resentment and unwillingness, and with random waves, she was lucky enough to catch a plant planted in the water.
She was overjoyed, choking on the water in her chest and lungs, and she couldn't wait to grab the plants and struggle to the surface.
As long as she can hold on to the plant and surface, she can call for help.
Her maidservant Chun Shao did not fall, and the other people she arranged should also arrive at the ......, the more she thought about it, the greater the hope of being rescued, and the stronger the desire to survive in her heart.
However, before the surprise that rose in her heart could reach the top of her head, her underwater feet suddenly seemed to be entangled by something.
No, to be exact, firmly dragged by the hands that are invisible underwater.
Mu Mingyue was frightened, and in panic and fear, she grabbed the plant and kicked the water desperately, trying to get rid of the strange hand that was dragging her feet.
However, the invisible cold hands, like leeches that can't be shaken off, dragged her feet steadily by iron tongs.
The more she pushed, the harder her hands dragged on.
Mu Mingyue had just a few strands of black hair faintly floating on the water, and at this time, she had gradually sunk into the water.
It didn't take long for the rupture of the pontoon, which vaguely seemed to have effervescent water, to be as calm as before, and there was no longer a trace of fluctuation, and the water surface was so calm that there was not even a trace of ripples.
Yan or Shi seemed to be courting Ye Ling'er affectionately on the side of the Huxin Pavilion, but his spirit and his attention were almost all on the pontoon bridge the moment he knew that Mu Mingyue stepped on the pontoon.
The extremely slight sound of the pontoon bridge breaking also fell into his ears like a drumbeat.
Later, Mu Mingyue's movements from falling into the water and struggling to survive naturally did not escape his ears.
Hearing that the water had finally returned to calm, he breathed a sigh of relief.
On Qingjun's face, the humble smile was even more brilliant and charming at this moment.
Ye Ling'er, who has almost the same thoughts as Yan or Shi, has actually been dealing with Yan or Shi absent-mindedly.
Secretly also nervously watched the movement on the pontoon bridge all the time, and finally, when Yan or Shi smiled brightly, she also showed a completely relieved and cheerful smile on her face.
This happy smile from the bottom of my heart naturally makes the already well-born girl more charming and moving.
Yan or Shi looked at her shy and charming appearance, and couldn't help but feel hot on her body, and stretched out her long arm to gently circle the person into her arms.
lowered his head, faced her seductive and delicate red lips, and pressed over with a bit of abuse and pleasure.
"Dead? Alas, he died like this," the purple-clothed girl who was hidden on a mountain that was not too high somewhere, retracted her gaze from the Huxin Pavilion with a little bit of excitement.
"The man you worked so hard to get in the past, today for another woman, oh no, to be precise, for a flashy wealth, you were easily buried in the water, if you know under the spring, will you regret not being at the beginning?"
Mu Xiaofeng had a cold face and slowly walked down the mountain. For witnessing her former sister's former enemy Mu Mingyue being drowned alive, she didn't have the slightest happiness of revenge in her heart.
On the contrary, it is stuffy and blocked, and there is some indescribable feeling of loss.
Although she has sent many people to die, it is the first time to see a fresh life slowly disappear in front of her eyes.
This feeling is not bad for her, but it is definitely not good.
"She deserved to die? Or are you too unkind? ”
A low, lazy voice with a bit of randomness, seemed to be faintly playful and with a bit of hidden questioning.
Just as Mu Xiaofeng was slowly walking down step by step, suddenly, across the sky, like a thunderbolt falling from the sky
