114 Confiscation of dowry
It is really a happy thing for the man to be hired, so the Ding'an Hou Mansion also invited some people from the side branches to join in the fun, and the inner house is not formal and rude. The maids and ladies also ran to the front yard to see the excitement, seeing that the dowry of the Chi family was extremely rich, full of a yard, the atmosphere was even more lively, and all around were happy and smiled and praised the five girls for their good fortune.
Yingluo saw that the dowry had entered the house, and she unconsciously showed a relaxed smile on her face.
In the courtyard, the four third-class maids Jiao'er, Xiao'er, Ming'er and Duo'er got together and a few little maids who didn't leave their heads in the Qiushui Garden picked up the big girl Shuangxing, and Shuangxing had to take them into the house to congratulate the girl.
On weekdays, in addition to the maids who serve closely, the young lady's boudoir is not allowed to enter the little maids at will.
Shuangxing nodded her head, followed by seven or eight maids into the house, talking and laughing and praising harmoniously.
"Congratulations to the five girls."
"The five girls are overjoyed."
"The fifth aunt is handsome."
"The dowry is good and rich, which shows that the fifth aunt values the girl very much."
β¦β¦
Several maids congratulated one after another, Rao is Yingluo was thick-skinned, and she also blushed slightly, and hurriedly motioned to Mother Yun to reward them, so that this group of narrow ghosts could go out early.
There was a lot of trouble here, but Brother Miao, who didn't want to be sent to the front yard by Yingluo earlier, turned pale slightly, staggered in with his feet, and his face was undecided, and even his sideburns ran a little loose.
Yingluo was smiling, and when she saw Brother Miao returning like this, she suddenly chuckled in her heart, and the smile froze on her lips.
Sure enough, Brother Miao stared at him with a pair of eyes with surprise, and he stopped talking.
Yingluo suddenly got up, waved her hand to order the maids to go out, and asked with a puff in her heart, "But what happened ahead?" β
Brother Miao looked frightened, his lips trembled, he couldn't speak for a while, his legs were weak, and he even held on to the table before he could fall.
Today is a good day for the girl, and she really can't bear to speak when she looks at Yingluo's nervous appearance.
On the side, Mother Yun stomped her feet anxiously, looked at Brother Miao, who was silent, and said, "What the hell is going on, you girl is talking!" β
Yingluo also calmed down a little and said, "It's okay, you can say it." β
Brother Miao said: "Ahead...... I don't know why a team of Praetorian Guards came in front of me, and this is already ...... The Hou Mansion has been surrounded, and some of them have rushed into the mansion. β
Mother Yun thought that something had gone wrong with the hiring matter, but she never expected that it was the Praetorian Guards who came, and she even rushed to the mansion. This is a hundred times worse than a mistake in the next hiring, where can the Praetorian Guards come to the door at will, unless they are going to raid the house.
Could it be that the old men of the Ding'an Hou Mansion have made some mistakes in the court? If this is a crime of raiding a house...... Mother Yun couldn't imagine it. Her face turned white in an instant, her legs went limp, she fell to the ground with a poof, and cried, "Girl, my girl, how good is this." β
Thinking of her own girl's appearance, Mother Yun only felt that if the girl became a family member of a criminal minister, she really had no way to live. After crying twice, she hurriedly got up again, dragged Yingluo to the inner room, and said, "Girl, quickly change into a maid's clothes, and if the situation is too bad for a while, the girl will take advantage of the chaos to hide in the subordinates, and see if there is a chance to escape!" Quick, Brother Miao went and brought the girl's clothes to the rough maid. β
Yingluo never expected that it was the Praetorian Guards who came to the door, her face turned a little pale for a while, and she was a little surprised in her heart.
For a while, I thought about whether it was Qin Yan's handiwork, and for a while, I thought about whether it was really the masters of the Ding'an Hou Mansion who participated in some court battle? As a little concubine, she is weak and weak, and she doesn't know anything about several masters.
But she knew that nothing major had happened in the court in recent times, not to mention that although the Ding'an Hou Mansion was in decline, but in the end, it was the founding of the Xungui Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion had to be ordered by the emperor himself.
The emperor is still far away in the Linshan Palace, unless the Ding'an Marquis Mansion has committed such a serious crime as plotting treason, otherwise how can the emperor be far away in the Linshan Palace and send people back to Beijing to copy the Hou's house.
And the old Hou of the Hou Mansion is a cultivator who doesn't care about things, although the prince is in the court, but the official position is humble, even if he is given the courage, he can't participate in such a thing as rebellion and treason.
Then there is Su Dingwen, Su Dingwen is a cautious person, he was only the prefect of Suizhou before, and now he is still waiting for a vacancy, and it is impossible to seek rebellion and treason.
What's more, if there is really something going on, it is impossible that there was no rumor at all before, and Qin Yan didn't mention anything last time he came over in the middle of the night.
Thinking like this, Yingluo was shocked and almost out of her body to find some of her mind, patted Yun's mother's hand, and said, "Mom, don't panic first, no one said that the Praetorian Guards came to raid the house, maybe it was my mother who scared herself, and most of the time there will be nothing." I'll go to the old lady first, don't mess up. β
Mother Yun was appeased, and then she regained some of her senses, and said: "Yes, yes, go to the old lady first, if there is anything going on, the old lady must get the news first, so let's do it as soon as possible." β
After a while, it was obvious that the news of the accident in the front yard had already come, and the laughter in the yard suddenly disappeared, and the timid cries of the little maids were faintly heard.
Yingluo hadn't left the house yet, but Shuangxing's slightly trembling voice sounded outside, and said: "Girl, Sister Songzhi from the old lady's courtyard gave an order outside the courtyard, saying that there was some accident in the front yard, so that the girls should not panic, it is not a big deal, but the girls need to stay in their own courtyard and not walk around." β
Mother Yun's face was a little pale, but Yingluo raised her heart again, just now she only guessed that the matter of the Praetorian Guards was probably inseparable from Qin Yan, and it was almost certain at this moment.
She was in a big mess for a while, and she really couldn't guess what Qin Yan was trying to do, and what he wanted to do when he made such a big move.
Yingluo in the inner house was uneasy, and in the front yard, Su Dingwen and the others were also shocked. Just sat down in the flower hall, the maid shuttled to tea, and before she could say a word, the housekeeper came to report with an ugly and frightened face, saying that the Praetorian Guards had surrounded the entire Ding'an Hou Mansion.
The old marquis is not in the house, the prince Su Dinggong also went to the official office, the second master is a concubine who has never been able to be on the stage, the fourth master went out to sleep in the willows, and he was not at home last night, so it was Su Dingwen who could take care of the matter, and he had to come forward in this matter.
Although Su Dingwen was also surprised in his heart, after many years of ups and downs in the Huan Sea, he could still control the scene, and got up and said to Lord Mei and Chi Jingyi: "Maybe there is any misunderstanding, I'll take a look." β
Chi Jingyi knew a little when he heard this, stood up, and said with a smile: "The younger generation is with my uncle." β
When he said this, Master Mei naturally stood up and said that he would go together. The guests were all going over, and the side branches of the Su family naturally stood up, but except for Su Dingwen, Chi Jingyi and Master Mei, the expressions on the faces of the others were really not good.
Su Dingwen's seventh cousin couldn't bear it anymore, panicked, and stepped forward with trembling legs. While following Su Dingwen outside, he couldn't help but say: "Brother Wen, we are all separated, today we are all just guests who were invited to participate in the niece's ceremony, if there is something in the Hou Mansion, it can not be implicated in the people of our family, you have to make it clear to the adults of the Praetorian Guard for a while, let us guests leave." β
As soon as the seventh master said, a few people echoed, and even asked if the Hou Mansion had done anything to get punished, and they were really panicking.
Su Dingwen felt a little embarrassed and conspicuous, he hadn't figured out what was going on, and the Hou Mansion was afraid that his family would not run fast enough and not clear enough.
At this time, it should be twisted into a rope, is it possible that the family has fallen, what can be done as a side branch? Now the Ding'an Hou Mansion is really not as good as the generation, and it has completely failed.
Su Dingwen looked at Master Mei and Chi Jingyi with some embarrassment and smiled, feeling that he had lost face in front of his in-laws. Chi Jingyi only didn't notice Su Dingwen's embarrassment, and replied with a clear smile like the moon, and said: "The emperor is still in the Linshan Courtyard now, there must be some misunderstanding, uncle doesn't need to worry." β
What Yingluo could think of, Su Dingwen and Chi Jingyi naturally thought of it. However, compared with a few side branch brothers who were afraid that the flash would not be far enough, as well as those panicked side branch masters, Chi Jingyi's calm and steady appearance naturally stood out, which also made Su Dingwen feel that marrying Su Yingluo to Chi Jingyi was a good family affair.
Su Dingwen led people out of the courtyard of the Flower Hall, and soon arrived at the first courtyard of the Hou Mansion. A moment ago, the most eye-catching thing in the courtyard was the dowry that was placed in the courtyard and was covered with gold and jade, but in a blink of an eye, although those dowry gifts were still placed there, rich and valuable, no one paid attention to them anymore.
The most striking thing in the courtyard was the Praetorian Guards in armor and swords.
At this time, no one would look at those dowry gifts, and their eyes fell on the Praetorian Guards standing in the courtyard, only to feel that the cold light reflected by the armor on the soldiers' bodies could cold people's hearts, and even the light of the dowry was obscured.
Rao is Su Dingwen didn't think that something would happen to the Hou Mansion, and he still beat the drum in his heart when he saw the Praetorian Guards who had rushed into the mansion and stood solemnly.
The people behind him were even more silent, for fear that something would really happen to the house.
Su Dingwen paused, then stepped forward quickly, walked towards one of the people who looked like a little general, quietly stuffed a purse, and said, "This little general, but I don't know what happened today, why did you come to the Hou Mansion?" On such a cold day, a little caution was given to the brothers to add money for wine. β
The little general was stuffed with a purse by Su Dingwen, but he didn't refuse, he directly took it into his arms, hugged his fists and said: "The third master is polite, the last general thanked the third master for the brothers." β
Su Dingwen saw that he had accepted the purse, and his attitude was kind, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, he heard the little general say again: "The third master is a little restless." β
Although he didn't reveal anything, Su Dingwen also made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, and only beckoned Yang Fucai and said: "You go to the old lady's Fulu courtyard in person, and it is not a big deal to tell the old lady, so that the old lady restricts all the rooms to stay in the courtyard and not make a mess." Just go! β
Yang Fucai hurriedly took the order and left, and Su Dingwen waited patiently.
However, as soon as the tea was done, I heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves in front of the Hou Mansion, and the people who were originally crowded in front of the Hou Mansion to watch the excitement had already dispersed, so the sound of the horses' hooves soon arrived in front of the door.
The little general hurriedly turned around and went out. Su Dingwen looked at it, and saw that there was no armor on the first horse, and he was only wearing a round-necked arrow-sleeved robe embroidered with dark gold moire in the cold weather, and he was wearing a scarlet sable fur outside.
The man who hit the head turned over and dismounted, turned around, and the mask on his face reflected a moment of cold light, and Su Dingwen saw that it was Qin Yan, the son of King Jing. He was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed the little general to the gate of the mansion.
Over there, Qin Yan strode up the steps in front of the Hou Mansion, but his gaze directly crossed over to Su Dingwen, who was standing in front of him, and fell on Chi Jingyi, who was standing in the courtyard, his eyes were facing each other, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes turned away in an instant.
Chi Jingyi clenched her hands and closed her eyes slightly, but she stood still.
The little general over there had already caught up with Qin Yan, Qin Yan's eyes fell, and he said, "Are you sure someone has entered the Ding'an Hou Mansion?" β
The little general knelt down on one knee and saluted, "The last general is sure!" β
Only then did Su Dingwen step forward and salute Qin Yan and said, "General Qin, what is this?" β
Although Qin Yan is the son of King Jing, he is a rare young general in Dafeng, a second-grade general Yingyang, and the son of the world often has, but this general Yingyang is not born casually, so the court officials call him General Qin when they see Qin Yan, and rarely call him the son.
Qin Yan looked at Su Dingwen, and the coldness on his body was slightly restrained before he said: "This morning, General Ben returned to the mansion but was assassinated, and something was lost in the study, the guards chased the assassin all the way, and the assassin was also weird, and mixed into the people who came to your mansion to see the excitement, and some people saw people entering the Hou Mansion, but I am afraid that this assassin is still hiding somewhere in the Hou Mansion at this moment, so there is a siege of the mansion, which disturbs your mansion, and I hope Lord Su will forgive me." β
Su Dingwen was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't doubt the truth of Qin Yan's words, he didn't find that Qin Yan and Yingluo had an intersection at all, and he couldn't imagine the twists and turns. Again, the Praetorian Guards were all dispatched, where did Su Dingwen think that Qin Yan would dare to pretend to be public and selfish like this, and act boldly and recklessly.
And today, the Hou Mansion is hired, the door is open, and there are indeed a lot of people watching the excitement, although there are small servants and nursing homes guarding the courtyard in front of the Hou Mansion, and they will never let the people who see the excitement run into the mansion to see, but this person has many eyes, and the nursing home will not be able to see it, and it is not necessary for anyone to mix in. After all, the person who could assassinate Qin Yan was definitely not an ordinary person.
What's more, as soon as Su Dingwen's eyes turned, he saw that Qin Yan's right arm was wrapped in a bandage, and there was still a little blood oozing out of it, and there was also a sling around his neck to fix that arm, obviously he was really injured.
Su Dingwen was taken aback and said: "Who is so bold to carry out such an assassination at the feet of the Son of Heaven, General Qin only orders the sons and daughters to search, and the lower officials must order the masters and subordinates of the palace to fully cooperate!" β
Qin Yan said lightly: "I'm afraid it's Beiyao's spy." β
A few years ago, there was a Beiyao country in the north of Dafeng to invade every year, Qin Yan led the western army of Xinjiang to defend the north at the age of sixteen, and won ten battles with Beiyao in eight years, recovering a large area of territory lost earlier, but his hands were also stained with the blood of Beiyao people. The Beiyao people who died in his hands don't know how many, and the Beiyao people were eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood, so they ran to the capital to assassinate Qin Yan, and sneaked into Qin Yan's study to steal things, which is also convincing.
As soon as he heard that it was related to the enemy country of Beiyao, Su Dingwen did not dare to slack off, God knows that if this person can't be found, someone will splash the sewage of the Ding'an Hou Mansion in the future, if it is not said that the Ding'an Hou Mansion is treason and harbors the enemy country's spies or something, then the Hou Mansion will not die unjustly!
Thinking about it, Su Dingwen hurriedly said: "General, let people search for it, if this thief really enters the Hou Mansion, the longer the time, the more dangerous I am afraid that the people in my mansion will be!" β
Qin Yan's gaze swept over the dowry all over the ground, and before he could say a word, Ying Qi next to him said: "At that time, that assassin blended into the crowd of people who joined in the fun, and he was very close to this dowry, could he hide something in these dowry?" β
Su Dingwen didn't dare to ask what Beiyao had stolen when he sneaked into Qin Yan's study, who knew if it was a confidential thing for the national defense map or something. Hearing this, his eyes also swept over the dowry.
Qin Yan didn't move, and only said, "Search!" β
At the sound of the order, the Praetorian Guards in the courtyard moved, searching in the bridal room.
Chi Jingyi's face was calm, but Qin Yan's deeds were not revealed, and it was about the enemy country of Beiyao, even if Chi Jingyi knew that it was fake, he had no choice but to watch those Praetorian Guards rummaging.
"General!"
In the blink of an eye, someone sighed, and when Chi Jingyi looked over, he saw a Praetorian Guard soldier pulling out a sharp dagger from a piece of jewelry, and the cold blade of the dagger was still stained with blood.
As soon as the dagger came out, Su Dingwen's complexion changed, and everyone gasped, but they didn't expect this assassin to really sneak into the Hou Mansion.
Ying Qi stepped forward at the right time and said, "Master, that thing is too inconspicuous, the assassin hid it in the dowry, and there are too many dowry, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find it for a while, or there will be some leaks." β
Qin Yan turned his gaze to Su Dingwen and said, "Master Su doesn't mind if General Ben brings these dowries back to the barracks first, right?" β
Now that the murder weapon has been found from the dowry, Qin Yan doesn't say what he lost, but looking at this formation, he naturally lost something important, where did Su Dingwen dare to say a word, and said busily: "This is natural!" Naturally, he didn't mind, and he mainly cooperated with the general to find the lost things. β
Qin Yan nodded approvingly at Su Dingwen, and then turned his gaze to Chi Jingyi and said, "The emperor once praised the Chi family for being my Dafeng righteous businessman, presumably the eldest prince Chi won't mind." β
Qin Yan didn't mean to wait for Chi Jingyi's answer when he said this, and after saying that, his left hand, which had never been injured, raised and waved, and then a team of Praetorian Guards came to raise the dowry, and he went out of the gate of the Hou Mansion in an instant.
Su Dingwen was dumbfounded, and said in his heart that he was too anxious, I don't know if I really thought that this posture was raiding his home.
The dowry was carried away, and the courtyard instantly looked empty. Qin Yan glanced at Chi Jingyi, who had been standing aside from beginning to end, and had never spoken, seeing that his face was as usual, he only seemed to be silent, and unconsciously glanced at him, and said in his heart that he was a calm person, no wonder he could support the family business at such an age.
It's a pity that I have to rob a woman with him! Or hateful and hateful!
Qin Yan didn't know that at this moment, Chi Jingyi's hands under his sleeves had already been clenched and hurt his palms, he was a little resentful of his grandfather at this moment, why he was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, he has been studying since he was a child, and his talent is no worse than that of his grandfather when he was young.
Immediately, Chi Jingyi was taken aback by his own thoughts, and a sense of shame rose in his heart, he knew his grandfather's hard work, how could he be so resentful of his grandfather, who loved him and raised him well.
In fact, Chi Jingyi also knew in his heart that even if he was out of office, even if his grandfather was still a secretary at the moment, Qin Yan would not be able to reverse the situation if he searched for the mansion in such a name, the more he was in a high position, the more cautious he became, and he could not tolerate the half-point difference to be framed.
Qin Yanxun's reason is too sufficient, he has implicated the enemy country, and if he makes a bad scene, he will be charged with a traitor to the country, who would dare to stop him from having a little edge in this matter!
Chi Jingyi felt bitter in his heart, but the little general who had been sent to search the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion came quickly, knelt down and said, "General, the outer courtyard has been searched and no clues have been found. β
As soon as he finished speaking, a Praetorian Guard rushed over and said, "General, the last general and others have found blood stains under the east wall of the Mohan Courtyard, but I am afraid that the assassin has crossed the wall and gone to the east courtyard." β
Hearing this, Qin Yan looked at Su Dingwen and said, "Dare to ask Master Su, where is the east side of this Mohan Academy?" β
Su Dingwen's face changed as early as after the little soldier's report, and at this moment, he couldn't help but say in a slightly anxious voice: "Don't hide it from General Qin, the east side of the Mohan Courtyard leads to the inner house, how can this be good, could it be that the Beiyao spy has already entered the inner house of the Hou Mansion?" This inner house is full of old and weak women and children! β
Qin Yan said: "The assassin is an outlaw, I am afraid that entering the inner mansion will endanger the lives of the female relatives of the Hou Mansion, although the general had no intention of alarming the relatives of the Hou Mansion, but he was in a hurry, compared to making Lord Su's family suffer a little fright, presumably Lord Su is more reluctant to see the assassins hurt the lives of the relatives of your mansion, right?" β
Su Dingwen's face was gloomy, and he hugged his fists and said: "This is natural, but in the end, it is an inner house, and the ladies have not gone through this kind of thing, they are timid and afraid, and General Wanwang takes care of everything when he acts." β
Qin Yan naturally understood what Su Dingwen meant, and said with a rare comfort: "This is natural, Lord Su, please rest assured, the Praetorian Guards will not enter the courtyards, only defend outside the courtyards, and Lord Su can make the ladies and girls stay in their respective rooms, don't come out." Then ask the ladies in each courtyard to rummage on their own, and if they find it, it is not too late for the Praetorian Guards to act again! Does Lord Su think this is good? β
Su Dingwen didn't expect Qin Yan to ask his meaning so kindly, so he naturally replied in a loud voice: "This is very good, General Xie is thoughtful about the reputation of the lady of my Hou Mansion." So I went with the general to the inner house and told my mother, so that the servants of the inner house could do what was ordered. General's side, please. β
Seeing that Su Dingwen raised his hand sideways at Qin Yan, he looked like he personally led Qin Yan into the inner house. Chi Jingyi couldn't be silent at the moment, he stepped forward, with an undisguised anxiety and worry, and said, "Uncle, I'm worried about the fifth girl in my heart, can you allow me to go with me?" I only need to stay outside the courtyard of the five girls for a while, and see that she is okay, and I dare not affect the reputation of the five girls. After all...... She is now my unmarried wife. β
Chi Jingyi's words immediately made Qin Yan's footsteps pause, his body seemed to be frozen with frost, and a pair of cold eyes stared at Chi Jingyi sharply.
Chi Jingyi hugged his fists and smiled, and said, "I'm really worried about the safety of my fiancΓ©e, it won't affect the actions of the Praetorian Guard, presumably General Qin won't be unkind, right?" β
To tell the truth, Chi Jingyi, as the uncle of the Su family in the future, is really not too much to have this request, Su Dingwen even blurted out to agree, but found that Qin Yan's attitude around him was really wrong, and the chill emanating from his body was something that a blind person could feel.
Su Dingwen paused energetically, and he was hesitant in his heart, always feeling that something was wrong between Qin Yan and Chi Jingyi, as if there was a monstrous hatred?
But he didn't hear about the Chi family and King Jing's Mansion, or any holiday with this General Yingyang.
Su Dingwen couldn't figure it out here, Qin Yan stared at the rivalry over there, but Chi Jingyi, who didn't back down, lightly hooked the corner of his lower lip and said, "Human favor? Quan Dafeng, who doesn't know that General Ben was raised by wolves, does Prince Chi think it's useful to talk about favors with General Ben? The nature of the wolf is to predate and never say anything! β
After saying that, he walked forward on his own, and said in a solemn voice: "It's important to search for assassins, and it's better not to wander around!" β
Su Dingwen saw Qin Yan leading the people to stride away, so he looked at Chi Jingyi and said: "There is such a thing in the mansion today, and I haven't been able to entertain the virtuous son-in-law well, but it is not good to keep more virtuous sons-in-law in the mansion today, if the virtuous son-in-law doesn't go back to the house first, when this side is stable, I will let people go to report safety." Again, you and the five girls have not been married after all, and it is inevitable that you will fall into her boudoir at this time, and the virtuous son-in-law can rest assured, with me as a father, how can I let the five girls have something to do? β
Chi Jingyi smiled reluctantly, Su Dingwen is the future father-in-law after all, he said so, Chi Jingyi naturally had no choice but to follow to the inner house, so he had to say: "So I'll wait here for a while." β
Su Dingwen saw that he insisted on doing so, so he also nodded hurriedly, followed quickly in the direction of the inner house, and walked dozens of steps to catch up with Qin Yan, but he didn't want Qin Yan to turn his head abruptly, and said in a somewhat gentle tone: "It seems that Master Su is quite satisfied with this family business, and he has just accepted the levy, and he is called a virtuous son-in-law, don't you know that this world is changing, and everything can change until the dust settles in the end." β
Su Dingwen only felt that he was cold and fluttering when he was looked at by Qin Yan, although his tone was gentle, but there was a kind of thunderous deterrent in his ears, Su Dingwen really didn't understand how the prince of Jingwang, who was usually known for his taciturnity, could have the leisure to discuss this issue with himself, so he only smiled awkwardly and said, "What General Qin said is true." β
Qin Yan did not move forward after entering the inner house, only Su Dingwen went to the old lady's courtyard and informed the old lady of the situation, and then the Ma family sent the mother-in-law of Fulu Courtyard to each room and courtyard to inform.
Ma Shi has been sick, and after this fright, his body became more and more uncomfortable today, and he took Su Dingwen's hand to confirm whether there would be anything wrong with the Hou Mansion and whether he would be implicated.
As Su Dingwen's son, it was not easy to follow Qin Yan to watch the search at this time, so he had to stay by Ma's side to take care of him for the time being.
And in the Qiushui Courtyard, Yingluo also received the old lady's order after a while, and heard that let stay in the house and not move around, the Praetorian Guards were going to enter the inner courtyard to search for people, although Yingluo didn't understand what happened in the front yard, but she also knew that Qin Yan was coming for herself.
She only thought that Qin Yan had any anger, and he always had to wait for the night to settle the account, where did she think that he would be so arrogant, and she was really in turmoil for a while.
Solemn footsteps soon sounded outside, different from the sound of the maids and women walking on weekdays, the sound of the armoured army running, mixed with the rustle of the armoured running, or the clanging sound of the sword accidentally hitting the armor, it was as if it shook Yingluo's heart, making her palms oozed dense cold sweat.
Soon, the mothers-in-law of Qiushui Courtyard also searched everywhere as instructed, and although the rummaging movement in the courtyard sounded a little chaotic, there was no sound.
Then, as Yingluo expected, a maid screamed.
"Ahh Blood! There are traces of blood here! β
Almost instantly, there was the sound of the Praetorian Guards drawing their knives and rushing into the hospital, and I don't know if it was their own illusion, Yingluo always felt that one of the chaotic footsteps was extremely powerful and powerful, and she arrived at the bottom of the corridor as fast as thunder, and Yingluo, who was sitting on the bed in the inner room, couldn't help but stand up suddenly, and bit her lower lip fiercely, and her eyes revealed some cold color-
Off topic β
Uh, I seem to be stuck again*, can I claim my innocence again?
