Chapter 33: Darkness Descends

When Qiu Moli returned to the General's Mansion, he was in a good mood with the silver ticket he had received from the palace, and he unconsciously felt that the General's Mansion in the past had become cute.

Picking Stars followed Qiu Moli closely, but Qiu Moli's speed was too fast, and she had to shout in the back. "Madam, you wait for me."

"You and Zhuyue go back first, whatever you like in the jewelry box in my room, take it casually, just go back and write it down to me in my account book, I'll go to Steward Liu first." Qiu Moli shouted at the people behind him, and ran towards the account room with a smoke.

When he saw Steward Liu, he handed over the silver ticket in his hand to Steward Liu, and under the signal of his surprised eyes, he entered the account, and held a bunch of account books and prepared to leave.

"Ma'am, what is this?" Steward Liu looked at the account books, and then at Qiu Moli, not knowing what she meant.

"Didn't you let me look at the account books? I'll take it back to my room and see it's okay! Qiu Moli stiffened his face and replied angrily.

"Yes, yes." Liu Xuan replied with two good ones in a row.

At this time, Qiu Moli was still wearing the men's clothes when he left home in the morning, although the tone of his words was not good, but he was less arrogant than at the beginning.

When he was hesitating, Qiu Moli had already left the account room without looking back with the account book, and Qiu Moli suddenly remembered the pink lotus flower he picked yesterday, and remembered that there were a few big lotus flowers in the lotus leaves, so he felt that he was very greedy, and he didn't want to run towards the lotus pond without thinking about it.

At this time, the hour is not early, the sunset has been slanting to the west, from a distance, the orange-red sun, like a salty egg, upside down in the sky, yellow can be extremely appetizing.

Qiu Moli put down the account book, pressed it with a stone, took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and went down to the pool to pick up the lotus canopy.

The bottom of the pond is soft silt, and it is very comfortable to step on the soles of her feet, Qiu Moli carefully stepped towards the center of the lake, and then hooked her little hand, and a few lotus canopies came to her hand, and then she threw the lotus canopy to the shore and continued to pick up the lotus canopy.

After the time of a stick of incense, the lotus canopy on the shore has been built a lot, Qiu Moli carefully avoided the lotus leaf stalk with fine thorns, one was not careful, his legs were weak, and he plunged directly into the pond.

"Hmm, help!" Qiu Moli struggled while shouting.

The moon shadow in the shadows looked at Qiu Moli who was buried in the mud, and when he flew up to save people, a black shadow not far away was slowly approaching.

It's Xuanzi! Moon Shadow quickly left the lotus pond, leaving Qiu Moli alone, who was still struggling.

Passing by the lotus pond, Xuanzi Xu, there was a moment of distraction, and when he came back to his senses, he unconsciously walked to the lotus pond, most of the lotus flowers here were planted by him himself, just for one day, when he married Lianji, he personally told her that even if he was a general, he could do a lot of things.

The sound of struggling in the pond suddenly sounded, Xuanzi frowned, but did not step forward, and after waiting for a while, a person crawled out of the pond whose whole body was stained with black mud, unkempt, and could not tell whether it was a man or a woman.

When Qiu Moli quickly wiped the mud off his face, the white and tender little face was revealed.

"It's you." Xuan Zixu shouted in surprise.

As soon as Qiu Moli heard Xuan Zixu's voice, the whole person couldn't help but tremble, she was really her nemesis, no wonder she fell into the pool.

"You...... Don't hit me, I'll sue you, I'm ...... But I didn't say anything to the palace people. As soon as Qiu Moli finished speaking, he couldn't help but want to slap himself hard.

Said okay? But there is a voice in my heart telling myself that as long as I don't get beaten, I don't care if I don't fight a woman.

Qiu Moli didn't know how pitiful he looked at this time, covered in mud, and while speaking, his face was full of grievances.

Xuanzi was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably remembered Lianji who cried miserably in his heart.

"How nice it would be without you!"

After Xuan Zixu said this, he turned around and left the lotus pond, leaving Qiu Moli who was still soaking in the lotus pond.

How nice it would be without you!

In his mind, there was only this voice left, and Qiu Moli suddenly felt that his heart hurt as if he had been pricked by a needle.

If it weren't for her, Xuan Zixu and Lian Ji would be a pair of fairy couples that everyone envies?

If it weren't for her, my sister wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to calculate people's hearts?

But what's wrong with her?

"Hahaha!" Qiu Moli suddenly laughed, but there was an indescribable sadness in this laughter.

In the sky, the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, and darkness finally fell.

……………………………………………………

"She's already paid the rent?"

In the darkness of the night, a woman who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old stared at the kneeling person below with her eyes wide open.

The man's face was oily, and his neck, which was as strong as a pig's belly, was covered with gold chains, and when he moved, the room was full of golden light.

"Yes, according to your instructions, let Jie'er show some flaws, and after the general's wife caught those flaws, she threatened Jie'er, and finally took away the silver ticket I prepared in advance."

"Good." The girl nodded.

"So what am I going to do next?" The obese man asked.

"No, I don't need it anymore." The girl looked at the fat man and suddenly smiled weirdly.

"For the ......" The fat man only said one word, and the white light flashed in front of him, and he only felt that his throat was tight, and blood gushed like a fountain.

The girl had long known that the blood was spurting, and she quickly moved away, and not a drop of bright red blood splashed on her clothes.

"You ......" The man looked at the girl unwillingly, with a strong hatred on his face.

"Wang Dazhui, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame Qiu Moli, after all, after tonight, she is the murderer."

The man's blood was finally drained, and he no longer had the strength to support himself.

After the sound of "bang", except for a corpse in the same place, only a chic sachet next to the corpse remained, with a clear embroidery on it.

At midnight, Jie'er, who was carrying the ginseng soup, pushed the door in, looked at the person who fell to the ground, and shook her hands in fright.

"Ahh A cry of fear rang through the sky.

As a result, Kyoto, which has not had a murder for a long time, began to be lively again.

Perhaps, this excitement is just the beginning, and after that, many things will happen one by one.

The night was thick, and the general's mansion was tossing and turning, and all that flashed in his mind was the words of Xuanzi next to him.

How nice it would be without you.

Out of the corner of her eye, she didn't know what it was slipping, Qiu Moli turned over and woke up Zhu Yue, who was not far from her.

Since she came back from Picking the Moon, Qiu Moli has put a small bed in her room, and someone sleeps with her every night.

"Ma'am, you haven't slept yet?" Pick-Moon asked.

"Well, did I disturb you?" Qiu Moli opened his mouth apologetically.

"No, it's the slave who embroidered a purse a few days ago, ready to give it to Madame, but I couldn't find it when I looked for it tonight, and I don't know where I put it."

"In this case, let's rest early and find it tomorrow."

After Qiu Moli finished speaking, he put his head under the quilt, a big thing, let's talk about it tomorrow!

How do you know, this sentence turned into a prophecy in the end.
