Chapter 13 The Handmaiden
Backyard Hibiscus Courtyard.
The fourth young lady, Li Wanru, was talking with Shen, and a maid wearing an emerald green dress hurriedly ran in: "Madam, it's not good, it's not good!" ”
Shen frowned: "What kind of system is it that shouts and screams!" Xi'er, you're getting more and more unruly."
"Madam, it's the third miss, the third miss she's back!" , Xi'er gasped and said nervously.
"What do you say? She's back? This is true", Shen Shi was shocked, she looked at Mama Wu behind her suspiciously, didn't she say that she had solved it by finding a killer, what is the situation now? Could it be that so many killers can't kill a girl who is powerless?
Mama Wu shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, and then got up to investigate.
"It's true, the news just came from the front yard, as soon as the third lady arrived at the gate of the house with two maids, she was intercepted by the guards.
"You said the guards were embarrassed by her?" , Shen was very surprised when she heard this, since she was in charge of the Li Mansion for so many years, she arranged the transfer of minions in the mansion, and she did not order the guards to embarrass Yu Yunhuang, because she had no intention of letting her come back alive, who was behind the scenes.
"Mother, what are you so surprised about, come back when you come back, what does it have to do with us", Li Wanru saw that Shen Shi looked nervous when he heard that Yunhuang was back, and couldn't help but speak, and said nonchalantly.
In my memory, Yunhuang was a naughty child, who didn't get along with himself, and was often blamed by his father for getting into trouble. It's just a wild girl, what is there to take to heart.
"You don't understand", thinking of the previous events, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Shen's eyes, she gritted her teeth and said: "I'll go back and tell you about this matter slowly, now that slut is gaining power, she instigated the master to take Yunhuang over, but it was not good, we have to guard against it."
"Mother, do you think the eldest sister will really marry Zuo Xiang?" , Thinking of the news from the day before yesterday, Li Wanru smiled ill-intentionedly: "I heard that Zuo Xiang is not good at doing things, and he is extremely ugly, no matter how noble his identity is, even the daughters of ordinary people are not willing to marry, not to mention the eldest sister, since she was crowned as the first talented woman in the capital, she is proud of herself, how can she be willing to marry him, I heard Xiaoqing say that some time ago she has been hiding in the room crying, and her eyes are red and swollen."
Thinking of this, Shen's heart jumped, and a thought suddenly came out, and she muttered to herself: "Yunhuang is the one who proposed to take her back to the house, but at this juncture, she wants to ......."
Li Dai Tao stiff!
The more Shen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and felt that this possibility was very high, Li Ruxue's girl was arrogant and wanted to marry the prince, how could she look at the ugly and shameless Zuo Xiang. Thinking of this, Shen Shi laughed clearly, she let out a long sigh, she thought it was aimed at her, causing her to mess up, but now, she can watch from the wall.
On the other side, Yunhuang passes through the courtyard, walks in the garden of the backyard, sees the rockery overlapping on the left, the trees are lush, the flowers are clustered, the right side is a lake water, the arch bridge bends, leads to the pavilion in the lake, bypasses the zigzag corridor, the eyes are all red tiles and blue columns, the scenery is chic.
This place, where she had lived for seven years, was strange and familiar to her.
Strange because this is the place where the dead Yunhuang lives, and it has nothing to do with her; Familiarity is that every time she walks to a place, there will be memories of Yunhuang pouring out, and she can see the life of a little girl when she was a child: frolicking and playing behind the rockery, reading aloud under the banyan tree, competing with her sisters in the garden, being pushed into the river, climbing the wall and slipping out......
Yunhuang's face was complicated, all this was over after all, the poor little girl had ruined her short life here, since she survived for her, some things could not pass. Yunhuang pinched her fists, and when she came back this time, she would definitely claim back everything she owed her.
When he was about to arrive at Qinglan Courtyard, Yunhuang had good ears, and vaguely heard the sound of crying behind the rockery in front of him, and when he bypassed the rockery, he saw a woman in coarse cloth squatting on the ground covering her face and crying.
When the woman heard the footsteps, she was startled, quickly wiped her tears, got up and wanted to leave, but stopped in surprise when she raised her eyes to see Yunhuang, the tears on her face were not dry, and she asked uncertainly, "You...... Are you Miss Three? ”。
Li Qin is used to being powerful on weekdays, and he stepped forward and scolded unhappily at the moment: "Where did you come from, you have no rules, you came here to cry and cry, don't get out of here."
He didn't see it, when he opened his mouth to reprimand, a small guy behind him showed an angry expression on his face, staring at the woman with a look full of reluctance, and then clenched his fists and endured it.
This scene was seen by Yunhuang, who happened to turn back, her eyes flashed, and she interrupted Li Qin in a loud voice: "Slow."
Yunhuang looked at the woman carefully with a pair of beautiful apricot eyes, and saw that she had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, looking at more than twenty years, surrounded by sorrow between her eyebrows, but her eyes were very firm. Being able to recognize her, I think she is also an old man in the Li Mansion, and she has been in this mansion for a long time, so she didn't want to meddle in her affairs, so she asked rarely: "What's your name?" Which hospital? ”。
Looking at the expression of the little girl, it seems to be related to this woman, she has just arrived, if she makes a few good connections and gets some helpers, it will be of great benefit to the future.
The ancients have always looked down on their subordinates, especially the high-ranking officials and nobles, and they are even more proud of their own status, feeling that they are superior, and that a slave is a slave and a lowly person.
Yunhuang frowned and sneered, don't look at the minions' soft-spoken words, at a critical time, you have to rely on them to make things happen.
"I've seen the third lady, the slave maid is just a rough maid, change her name to Bai Zhi", the woman settled her mind and bowed down.
Angelica dahurica? Yun Huang read these two words, feeling a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen this name. Moyi came up and whispered, Yun Huang nodded clearly, it turned out to be her, the girl who secretly paid tribute to her mother and was loyal, she nodded slightly, smiled, and asked, "Are you willing to follow me?" Be my valet maid? The tone is a little more sincere, and it is no longer the intention of exploitation.
Bai Zhi raised her head in surprise, saw Yunhuang's eyes soft, stared at her and smiled, happiness came too suddenly, she couldn't respond at once, stayed there, and then was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Yunhuang: "The slave is willing to follow the master."
Li Qin's face behind him froze, he wanted to drive this maid away one moment, and the next moment, Yunhuang accepted her.
He didn't understand the reason, he just thought that Yunhuang was giving him a horse and doing it for him, and he was angry in his heart at the moment, but he didn't show half of it on his face.
