465.Chapter 465: Someone Eavesdropped
Biluo quickly answered, and hurriedly turned around to look for forsythia.
Forsythia just came out with a large lotus leaf-style pastel peony pattern porcelain vase, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is the matter with Miss looking for slaves?" ”
Biluo was busy talking on the side, Forsythia inadvertently raised his eyes and swept over, and saw a black shadow passing in front of the window, and he was shocked, rushed over, pushed open the window, and shouted, "Who is hiding here?" ”
"What's going on?" Mu Lingluo turned his back to the window and didn't pay attention, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but stand up and walked over.
Forsythia frowned, "The slave and maid saw that someone was hiding here and eavesdropping, the other party was too fast, and the slave maid only had time to see her wearing a blue gown." ”
"Teal gown?" Mu Lingluo bit his lip, "The third-class maids in our yard are all wearing teal gowns, but this is also clear, at least just inquire about the movements of those third-class maids." ”
"Slave and maid are going now, you can't keep such a person in front of you." Forsythia doesn't have the heart to arrange flowers now, she didn't expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net, she just felt that she was derelict in her duties, and she was going to do it when she was busy.
"Forsythia, don't worry." Mu Lingluo called her, "There are only a few masters in our house, so what if you know the time when I am going to visit the third aunt?" Let's see what the other party is going to do first! ”
Hearing this, Forsythia felt that she was in a hurry, and said: "It's that the slave maid has lost her sense of proportion, and the slave maid will go to prepare to visit the third lady's things first, and then go to see the maids later." ”
Mu Lingluo took the sunrise flower in Biluo's hand, carefully trimmed its tail with scissors, cut it into an inclined plane, so as to facilitate it to absorb water, and then inserted it into the large lotus leaf-style pastel peony pattern porcelain bottle, looking at the golden sunrise flower to expel the dullness in the room, her mood also improved slightly, and the corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc slightly.
The weather in autumn is always very changeable, the morning is still cloudless, the sky is clear, after lunch, the day begins to surge, the sun is blocked, and the dark clouds spread.
At this time, just after the lunch break, Forsythia looked at the sky and instructed Biluo: "You bring the food box, we have to set off to visit the third lady." ”
Biluo also packed up the sewing basket, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but wonder: "But didn't Miss say that you should go at the time, it's still very early." "It's going to be two quarters of an hour away!
"Look at this day, if it's any later, it should rain heavily. The young lady should go to the third lady's for dinner, so it is better to go there before it rains. Forsythia explained, "It's not long anyway, and it will take a while to walk through, so you go and prepare." ”
Biluo hurriedly responded, Forsythia looked at her back and couldn't help but shake her head.
Sure enough, as Forsythia said, but after a while, the autumn wind became more and more bleak, the whistling wind swept up the fallen leaves all over the ground, and the delicate begonias fell to the ground, looking like a layer of red snow from a distance.
Forsythia held an umbrella for Mu Lingluo, and went to Cuifeng Garden, where the third lady was, the courtyard of the third lady was some distance from Mu Lingluo, and it would take a quarter of an hour to walk over, and this was still a short walk.
To get closer, you have to pass a courtyard that has not been inhabited for a long time, and there is a rockery and a lake, but the lake has long since become a dead lake because there is no living water.
The autumn wind became more and more cold, and suddenly, Mu Lingluo stopped, "Did you hear or smell anything?" ”
Biluo was stunned, but now that the wind was too strong, she didn't hear any strange sounds, she only shook her head, "No, this wind is too strong, the slave maid sees that it is about to rain, let's go faster!" ”
"The slave smelled a strange smell." Forsythia sniffed, but now that the storm was coming, she couldn't tell what it was.
Biluo took two steps with the food box in her hand, "No...... Yes...... What the hell is this, squish...... Ah......h
"Don't make a fuss." Forsythia grabbed her and scolded.
"But, but......" Biluo pointed to something on the ground in fright, "blood, there is blood......"
Mu Lingluo stepped forward, leaned over to take a look, and saw that they were two birds with black wings and a large white spot on the wing shoulders, she frowned, kicked at will, revealing the bird's white belly, she carefully identified it, "This is a magpie, but it is dead." ”
"How can there be a magpie dead here, magpie Dengke, this is a good omen, if it is dead......" Forsythia gasped, "Isn't it a disaster." ”
"W-what the hell is going on?" Biluo also exclaimed.
Mu Lingluo pursed his lips, "This shouldn't be a coincidence, we don't know about the past, but today we passed by here and killed two magpies, if it is rendered by someone with a heart, it will be a disaster." ”
"In particular, someone happened to overhear that Miss was coming to visit the Third Lady today, so Miss must have to pass through this road." Forsythia has also lived in the back house for a long time, although there are no such dirty things between the masters of King Min's mansion, but there are also fights in the maid's heap, and she has a long list of associations at this time. "Miss, it is imperative that we dispose of this magpie's corpse first. There is a lake in front of the rockery, and no one should go to salvage the body if it is thrown there. ”
Mu Lingluo thought for a moment and bowed his head, "Well, it's only like this now." ”
In the end, Forsythia wrapped the two magpie carcasses with a handkerchief and took them with him.
The three of them were suddenly in a relaxed mood and a little heavy, but they only took two steps, and suddenly saw a person rushing out of the grass in front of them, she didn't seem to expect that someone would come here at this time, she was surprised, and when she saw clearly that the person who came was Mu Lingluo, her face changed suddenly, she looked behind her, and hurriedly wanted to run.
"Stop her!" Mu Ling's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted.
Forsythia was tall, and immediately threw the dead magpie in her hand towards the woman, and chased after her quickly, but she really let her pull the woman's clothes. The woman was a rough mother-in-law with great strength, and when she turned around, she shook Forsythia in the mouth, and Forsythia was unwilling to let her run away, so she only took the opportunity to hug her arm tightly.
Mu Lingluo then followed, did not give her a chance to hit the forsythia again, and poked her acupoint with a silver needle with her backhand, and then the woman fell to the ground softly, numb and weak, she looked at Mu Lingluo in horror, and couldn't even speak for a while.
Mu Lingluo took a breath, looked up at the forsythia with swollen cheeks, and asked urgently, "How is it, are you okay?" I have ointment here, and I will apply it after cleansing my face later, and it will reduce the swelling in a while. After taking a closer look at Forsythia's face, she breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, several people heard the sound of rustling in the grass behind them.
