(4) Blaze in the middle of the night
When Liu's mother and I returned to the wing room, I saw Cai Yan standing outside the door, looking around, there seemed to be a slight sound in the room, although I have only practiced martial arts for a few years, I can still hear the movement of the room in the yard, it seems that the eldest lady is doing something in my room! Such determination is not only because of the movement in the room, but also because of Caiyan's expression, although she did not show anything on the surface, there was a trace of nervousness in her eyes, and there was also a trace of panic in her eyes when she saw us coming in.
"Mother Liu, you are back, the eldest lady told that if the eldest lady comes back, please ask the eldest lady to go to the eldest lady's house, the eldest lady has something to say." Cai Yan said loudly, in fact, we are not far apart in the courtyard, we can hear it without talking so loudly, but he is obviously trying to cover up or notify someone so loudly?
"Miss Caiyan, the eldest lady just went out for a walk and sweated, I helped the eldest lady into the house to change her clothes, wash her face, and take the eldest lady over." Mother Liu arrived, and it was obvious that she also sensed that something was wrong.
"Mother Liu, I've been waiting here for a long time, you and the eldest lady came back, let's go over to see Madame first, don't let Madame wait for a long time."
"But it's rude for the eldest lady to go to see Madame like this!" Mother Liu said with some embarrassment.
"Mother Liu, the eldest lady regards the eldest lady as her own, and she is worried that the eldest lady will be unaccustomed to going out of the house for the first time, so she asked the eldest lady to ask, but she has been waiting for so long, and it is not good to ask the eldest lady to wait when she comes back, this is not the Hou Mansion, if you let someone know that the eldest lady is disrespectful to her mother, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the eldest lady, or please follow me quickly!"
"But that's really inappropriate!" Liu's mother was still a little hesitant.
"Mother Liu, there's nothing wrong with it, let's go over quickly, don't let the eldest lady wait for a long time, the eldest lady will definitely be worried if the young lady doesn't go for a long time." It seems that Cai Yan will never let us enter the house, and the things in the room can only be solved when they come back, otherwise it will not be long before the eldest lady of the Yongping Hou Mansion disrespects her mother-in-law, I quietly pulled the sleeve of Liu's mother and signaled her to go to the eldest lady first.
"Okay, I think the eldest lady cares about the young lady and will forgive the young lady for being rude, Miss Caiyan, let's go!"
Hearing that Liu's mother promised to take me to the eldest lady's side, Caiyan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mother Liu, let's go, the eldest lady should be in a hurry." Caiyan said loudly, pulling Mother Liu and me towards the eldest lady's room, as if we were afraid that we would regret not going to go with her.
"Mother Liu, wait a minute, I'll go in and pass it on to the eldest lady." Cai Yan entered the inner room, usually when the eldest lady rested, Ma Ma herself guarded outside the door, and at this time the eldest lady was pregnant again, but now Ma Ma is no more, even another personal maid of the eldest lady is not there, this is really abnormal, could it be that Ma Ma and Cai Yi were just in my room, if this is the case, the behavior of Cai Yan just now can be explained, but what did the three of them do in my house when I was not there? A slight sound of footsteps interrupted my thoughts, and the inkstone came out.
"Madame invites the eldest lady and Mother Liu in." "Caiyan stood at the door and raised the curtain, Mother Liu led me into the inner room, the eldest lady leaned on the head of the bed, her hair was slightly messy, and it looked like she had just been woken up not long ago." The slave has seen the eldest lady. "Mother Liu let go of me, saluted the eldest lady, and intentionally or unintentionally protected me behind her.
"Mother Liu, how is the eldest lady lately, her body has improved. The eldest lady had just woken up with a hint of laziness in her voice, which added a bit of charm to her. "Back to the eldest lady, the eldest lady prefers to invite a famous doctor, and the situation of the young lady is much better, I believe that the young lady will be able to speak soon." Mother Liu replied respectfully. In this way, Mrs. Ben can rest assured, Mother Liu, you take care of the eldest lady with all your heart, and Mrs. Ben will not treat you badly, Mrs. Ben will be rewarded, and the color inkstone will be brought up.
"Yes, ma'am," Caiyan came out with a small tray on which the bulging purse was placed.
"It is the duty of a slave to serve a good master wholeheartedly, and I dare not ask for a reward."
Mrs. Ben's housekeeper has always rewarded and punished clearly, you should naturally be rewarded for your good work, you will take it if you are rewarded, and take good care of the eldest lady in the future, I will reward you again.
Yes, the slave thanked the eldest lady. Mother Liu took the reward money and respectfully stepped aside.
You go down first, I'm a little tired, I want to rest, you can eat in your own room for dinner, you don't need to come. Su Su went out for the first time and saw that everything was fresh, and she was tired when she thought about it.
Yes, the slave and maid retired with the eldest lady.
When Mother Liu and I went out, I happened to see Ma 6 Mama and Cai Yi coming from the direction of my wing, it seems that Cai Yan just now asked us to come over to see the eldest lady immediately, it is very likely that it is because they are in my room, the eldest lady and Cai Yan are trying to hide something?_?
When I got back to my own room, I was even more sure that they had just entered my room, because I had tied a thin thread to the door when I went out, and now that the thread was broken, someone must have entered the room, what the hell were they doing in my room? I've got to figure it out right away. After Liu's mother entered the house, there was no one around, so I plugged the door through the inside.
But what does the eldest lady think is wrong?
Does Liu's mother also feel that something is wrong?
Yes, the eldest lady and Caiyan are very abnormal today, and when we came out, I saw that Mama Ma 6 and Caiyi seemed to pass from our house!
You're right, I'm almost sure that Mama Ma 6 and Mama Caiyi were in our room just now, Caiyan had to let us go to the eldest lady's room I felt strange, just now Caiyi and Mama Ma 6 also went out of our room, when we went out, I tied a very thin silk thread on the door, when I just came back, I found that this silk thread was broken, which means that someone entered my room, and when we came back, Caiyan stood at the door and was very likely to look at the people in the house. When we came back, she took us to the eldest lady so that we wouldn't break into what the people in the room were doing!
Oh, yes! I also find it strange that the eldest lady called us over just to reward the slaves and maids.
Well, the first priority is to find out what they put in my room. This thing must be extremely bad for us, dinner time is approaching, and we have to search every corner of the room as carefully as possible.
Mother Liu and I searched carefully in the room, fortunately our things were not passive, and the men's clothes I prepared were not found, and the eldest lady didn't know that I was wary of her, and finally we found a small clay pot under the bed, which contained a few scorpions, and the tail hook of the scorpion glowed with a faint blue light, which shows that its poison is so violent that I have dabbled a lot in poisons in my previous life, and I think it is the only one I have seen in my life!
The eldest lady's heart is too ruthless, and she actually uses such a poison to harm the young lady, but what do we do with this thing, it is too dangerous to stay in the room.
Let's seal it with oiled paper first, maybe it will be useful.
Okay, I'll seal it up first.
Mom, be careful, this thing is highly poisonous, and then the eldest lady doesn't know what means to do it, and we have to be more careful at night.
Yes, I understand.
Mother Liu just sealed the things and hid them in the temple monks sent dinner, after dinner, I and Mother Liu sat in bed for a while to learn female red and then went to bed early, under my strong request, Mother Liu and I slept in the same bed, if there is any accident at night, it is good to take care of each other, the current situation is not optimistic, I need to keep the body lĂŹ at night and did not practice again.
At midnight, there was a very slight sound from the window in front of me, and someone came over and opened the window, and then there was a slight fragrance, and even used the incense!! I hurriedly woke up Mother Liu, stretched out my hand to open the window on the side of the cliff, and the smell of incense from the mountain wind dissipated a lot. After about a quarter of an hour, the people outside the window felt that the incense should have played a role, so they poured something on the doors and windows in front of them, and the pungent smell came that the person poured it was fire oil, it seems that the eldest lady really did everything to get rid of me, if the scorpion bit me to death, then this fire can just destroy the corpse, if I am not poisoned, then I can be said to be an accident with the drug and then burned to death, how can he get his wish! It's a pity that she missed the calculation, and I was already on guard against her!
Mother Liu, you quickly tear the sheets together and make ropes, to escape this catastrophe we can only go down from the cliff behind, I will go we take all the valuable things, by the way to the eldest lady to send some gifts, although now it is not the time to deal with you, but also to charge you some interest, I quietly walked to the door, put the scorpion in the jar out of the crack in the door, at this time the person by the window just set fire to leave, there was a muffled snort outside the door, thinking that the person had been tricked, Once the wooden structure of the house is on fire, it burns very quickly and there is fire oil to help burn, and soon the fire spreads, when Liu's mother took the rope, the house has been burned half, and there is already a firefighting sound outside, I and Liu's mother tied the rope to the window, and the two went down the cliff to the bamboo forest, and found a hidden place to hide in the bamboo forest, the house on the cliff has burned most of it, fortunately, the fire did not spread in time. It just burned down the house I lived in and the room next door, and the other rooms didn't burn down. It seems that the eldest lady has planned it a long time ago, except for the fact that I escaped, the rest is really seamless!? I took out the men's clothes I had prepared in advance and changed into them, planning to go down the mountain with Liu's mother to find a farmhouse to stay in. Miss, where are we going now, go back to the Hou Mansion first, we must ask the Hou Ye to make the decision for you! We can't go back to the Hou Mansion, we disappeared in the temple, and suddenly returned to the Hou Mansion and said that the eldest lady wanted to kill me, no one would believe the words of a five-year-old child, and when we went back, we were the turtles in the urn, and when the eldest lady wanted to kill me again, I would be unable to escape!
But is it just to let the eldest lady go?
Of course I won't let him go, but it's not now, it's not that the time has not come, we have to leave the capital first, and I have already planned that we will leave the capital first and go to Jiangnan.
Going to Gangnam? Mother Liu was a little surprised by my decision.
Yes, if you go to Jiangnan, Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, and the people are open, and it is relatively easy for us orphans and widows to live there.
Miss, in fact, I am your biological mother's personal maid. If I take you to your grandmother's house, your grandmother will definitely take care of your affairs for you!
Mother Liu, now that I am still young, it is not good for you to take me to travel thousands of miles out of Fengchen to find my grandfather's house, when my mother left home, it must have been unpleasant and it was not good to go back rashly, let's go to Jiangnan to settle down first, and then we will go to find relatives in a few years.
Miss, how do you know?
I once asked Master to check my mother's family, but I couldn't find it in Fengchen Kingdom, and I thought that my mother was definitely not from Fengchen Country, but if I had a little idea of who my mother was, I would have a little idea in my heart.
Back then, Miss was a very assertive person, Miss deserved to be her daughter, which was very much like her, the slave and maid listened to the young lady, let's go to Jiangnan, and the slave and the maid will not let the young lady suffer.
No, Mother Liu, you are not a slave and my mother, I should not let you suffer...... Let's go down the hill first!
