Chapter 287: Assassin
The eldest lady's tone was rare and gentle, and she also had a look of concern for Qingyun, with three points of pain and seven points of pity.
But such a gentle tone was like a golden hammer, hitting Qingyun's heart hard, and she was stunned.
The old lady's face was as heavy as frost, and her eyes were cold.
Hou Ye frowned.
In the room, the atmosphere froze all of a sudden, and the maids and maids all held their breath and didn't even dare to breathe.
Seeing Qingyun staring at her tightly, with a cold glow in her eyes, the eldest lady's mood was never better.
Although the young master of Chu is dead, but the secret guard of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan is still guarding Qingyun, maybe the person is outside at this time, she mentions Qingyun's marriage at this time, and the old lady and the Hou Ye dare not deny it, otherwise it will reach the ears of the Hou of Zhennan, wouldn't it become Qingyun unwilling to marry, and there are plans to marry someone else?
People have no grandchildren, and the Hou Mansion is thinking about remarrying, can Zhennan Hou not be angry?
For the good of the Hou Mansion, the old lady and the Hou Ye must agree.
Moreover, the young master Chu died, Qingyun remarried into the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and the ten-mile red makeup prepared before was not needed at all, is it necessary to carry those exquisite headdresses and silk satin to the Zhennan Hou Mansion?
A widow, dressed up in flowers, is not beautiful, but attracts bees and butterflies, and does not abide by women's morals.
can not only pull out this thorn in the side of the obstacle, but also leave a lot of money to dowry, there is no better thing than this.
The old lady played with the Buddha beads in her hand, and a breath lingered in her heart, scratching her heart, liver, spleen and lungs were itchy and painful, and she was almost like thunder.
She endured it desperately, and the green tendons were faintly beating on her forehead.
In the end, it's not biological, I don't know how distressed it is, today is Qingyun, she can say this lightly, if it is replaced by Qingrou, she may have found a way to force her and Hou Ye to help return the family affairs no matter what, even if it is to disobey the holy decree!
But the eldest lady's words are good, Qingyun and Young Master Chu are married by holy decree. The secret guards of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan saved Qingyun's life several times, and the young master Chu also threatened in public that it was enough to have Qingyun in this life, and he would never accept concubines.
Young Master Chu can do so much for Qingyun, and Qingyun can also withdraw from his relatives and remarry. Do you want to go into the arms of someone else?
Everyone knows it's impossible.
It's one thing to know, it's another to say it.
Young Master Chu is very good to Qingyun, and the secret guards of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan have saved Qingyun's life several times, which are all good, but now Young Master Chu is dead. Lying in the cold coffin, I don't know what to do, Qingyun is only fifteen years old, and the days to come are still long, let her live with a spirit card from now on, with no children and no daughters under her knees, isn't this going to drive her crazy?!
The old lady regretted the untimely death of Young Master Chu, but who caused this?
It's not the Hou Mansion, and it's not Qingyun!
Day. Qingyun's sedan chair was carried to the front of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, and even two Xi arrows were shot, if it weren't for the secret guard covered in blood, how could the young master Chu lose Qingyun and leave Beijing in a hurry?
If he hadn't left Beijing, he wouldn't have died.
The more the old lady thought about it, the more angry she became, she frowned and said, "It is rumored in Kyoto that the eldest prince is dead, and the eldest young master Chu left Beijing to find the eldest prince, and now the eldest prince is back." Something happened to him, how did he die?! β
The eldest lady sat there, a little funny.
No matter how Young Master Chu died, there are always no more people. Could it be that the Hou Mansion could still help Master Chu take revenge?
She stood up and said, "Why didn't Young Master Chu know, it seems that no one knows yet, so I'll go to the Hou Mansion in Zhennan with Hou Ye to ask clearly." β
As she spoke, she looked at Hou Ye, and it was difficult to hide a trace of anticipation in her eyes.
Hou Ye glanced at her. The eyes were detached, "I will go to the Zhennan Hou Mansion with Old Lady Jiang, you can stay in the mansion with peace of mind, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" β
In the last few words, Hou Ye's tone suddenly became heavier, with some warnings.
The eldest lady's face stiffened, and she said, "Master Hou, are you going to ban my feet?" β
Hou Ye didn't speak, and the old lady said, "Qingyun and Young Master Chu are married, it is the marriage between the Jiang family and the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, what will happen to Qingyun in the future, Old Lady Jiang can be half of the master, they men discuss things together, what do you mix with a woman's family, you want to go, there will be time in the future." β
The embroidered handkerchief in the old lady's hand was torn fiercely, and she was furious.
She didn't know that Hou Ye didn't want her to go to Zhennan Hou Mansion with her, because she was afraid that she would marry Young Master Chu in front of Zhennan Hou, and they all had two hopes, feeling that things would take a turn for the better, it was simply wishful thinking!
"If I don't go to Zhennan Hou Mansion, I can always go to Xuanwang Mansion, right?" The eldest lady pursed her lips and said.
Hou Ye's eyes were cold, and he roared in a low voice, "What I said is that you are not allowed to go anywhere!" β
The eldest lady clenched her teeth, looked indignant, and was about to speak, but a maid ran in outside, and said with an anxious face, "Oh no, Miss Xu kidnapped the fifth girl!" β
Hou Ye frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" β
The maid hurriedly said, "Manager Zhou took people to Furou Yuan to catch Miss Xu, she was strong in martial arts, injured several small guys, the secret guard of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan helped to arrest her, Miss Xu was no match for the secret guard, so she fled, the secret guard chased behind, Miss Xu caught the five girls in the garden and held her hostage, if the secret guard still wanted to arrest her, she would kill the five girls on her back." β
When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately glanced at Qingyun and said, "Nosy secret guard!" β
She said that she asked Qingyun to marry the young master Chu, which meant that the secret guard of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan could hear it, but the secret guard was not there, and the dog was nosy with the mouse!
With those little guys in the Hou Mansion, she can't catch people at all, and she doesn't need to catch Qingrou as a hostage.
If Qingrou has three strengths and two shortcomings, she must tear her apart!
The eldest lady was afraid that Mu Qingrou would have three strengths and two shortcomings, so after scolding, she hurriedly went out.
It's just that when she scolded, Qingyun's face turned cold into ice.
The secret guard was ordered to protect her, and the assassin Zao'er who assassinated her died, but Zao'er was the Hou Mansion that Miss Xu entered, and Miss Xu was the mastermind behind Zao'er.
Qingyun felt that if she didn't put the eldest lady to death, she would be sorry for the secret guard to save her several times.
Mu Qingrou was held hostage, and Mother Sun helped the old lady to go to the garden, how could she not follow.
From a distance, Qingyun saw the clearing in the garden, Miss Xu grabbed Mu Qingrou, the knife was on Mu Qingrou's neck, and under the sun, the cold knife glowed with bloodthirsty light.
Wei Chi watched from a few meters away. He didn't have a knife in his hand.
Seeing more and more people, even the Hou Ye arrived, and the knife in Miss Xu's hand was closer to Mu Qingrou's neck.
Mu Qingrou's frightened flower turned pale, and shouted in panic. "Mother, save me!"
The eldest lady was so anxious that she couldn't wait to unload Miss Xu, who was holding Mu Qingrou hostage, into eight pieces, she said, "Let my daughter go!" β
Miss Xu glanced at the eldest lady. glanced at the dark guard again, and finally her eyes fell on Qingyun's side, and she smiled, "If you want me to release people, I have three conditions!" β
Hou Ye's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Which three conditions?!" β
Miss Xu glanced at the dark guard and said with a smile, "First, Zao'er's corpse." I'm going to take it away! β
"Second, the secret guard killed Zao'er, I want him to give Zao'er an arm to bury him!"
"Third, I want the half piece of broken jade in the third girl's hand!"
Of these three conditions, the first one is very simple, Zao'er is dead, and it is useless for the Hou Mansion to ask her corpse, so she can let Miss Xu take it away.
But asking the secret guard to chop off an arm for Zao'er to bury with him is a joke.
This is the secret guard of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, why did he cut off his arm for Mu Qingrou?
There is also broken jade......
"What broken jade?" The old lady muttered.
Mother Sun said. "Is it the piece that the emperor rewarded the third girl, the third girl fell to the ground when she changed her clothes in Chunhui Courtyard, and ......."
Before Mother Sun finished speaking, the eldest lady yelled at Qingyun. "Bring it to her!"
Qingyun sneered and said to Wei Chi, "You go back first, lest someone say you're meddling." β
Zhou Ziting stood aside and covered her mouth and smiled, before she came, the eldest lady scolded the third cousin for being nosy. Now he wants to secretly guard the broken arm, and he wants the broken jade of the third cousin to save Mu Qingrou.
I have to say that this pair of mother and daughter are really thick-skinned, she thought that the entire Hou Mansion revolved around their mother and daughter, not long ago she was ruthless to ask her third cousin to marry a dead man, she thought that the words she said were not swords and frost, but sweet words, and the third cousin listened to it, and felt that it was the sound of nature, and her heart was as sweet as smearing honey.
Thinking that the back of her hand was scratched, it was all thanks to Mu Qingrou, Zhou Ziting couldn't wait for the knife in Miss Xu's hand to be closer to Mu Qingrou's neck, a little closer.
Qingyun had orders, Wei Chi didn't dare to disobey, jumped over, and disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost.
Qingyun glanced at the old lady, looked at the eldest lady and said, "Mother is right, the young master Chu has affection for me, the Zhennan Hou Mansion is kind to me, I should marry the young master Chu, I will go back to prepare for the marriage, I will not participate in the side affairs, and I will retire first." β
After speaking, Qingyun blessed her body, turned around and was about to leave.
The eldest lady's face was as if she had been slapped more than a dozen times in a row, the blue and purple changed, she looked at Hou Ye and said, "Hou Ye, look at her, Qingrou was put on her neck with a knife, and she was asked for a piece of broken jade, and she actually ......!" β
The eldest lady's accusation was interrupted by Master Hou before she finished speaking, "Enough!" β
When the eldest lady came to her mouth, she swallowed it alive, and Mu Qingrou over there kept shouting for help, she was about to cry.
There were a lot of maids around, looking at the anxious and uneasy expression of the eldest lady, they all pouted, and they were a little disdainful in their hearts.
Just now at the old lady's place, the eldest lady is so calm and relaxed, the eldest young master Chu is dead, she doesn't care about the pain of the third girl at all, so she asks the third girl to go to the Zhennan Hou Mansion to widow the eldest young master Chu, and says that it is for the good of the third girl, and now that it is the turn of the fifth girl, she knows that she is in a hurry.
The maid even felt that Miss Xu was holding Mu Qingrou hostage in order to avenge Qingyun.
Qingyun didn't make it in the end, because Miss Xu didn't pay attention to her when she saw that the dark guard was gone, the sword in her hand cut through Mu Qingrou's neck, watching the blood flow down, and the faces of everyone in the Hou Mansion turned white with fright.
Miss Xu's eyes were glowing with coldness, "Do you think I'm joking with you, I'll give me a happy word dozens of times, promise or not!" β
Hou Ye's face was gloomy, and she said, "If you kill someone, you can't escape!" Let Qingrou go, I will allow you to leave the Hou Mansion! β
Miss Xu hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Master Hou, I have a cheap life, and it is not a pity to die, the fifth girl is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, the future second princess of the Holy Mansion, and may even be the queen, I will not lose it if I am buried with such a beauty." β
After saying that, she began to count, "one, two, three, four....... β
When she counted the fifth, she felt that Mu Qingrou was struggling, she cut her face mercilessly, and said with a smile, "Give me some points!" The Hou Mansion has good medicine, this injury is nothing, if you dare to move again, I will cut your throat, and then I will see if the three girls with excellent medical skills can live the flesh and bones of the dead! β
The stinging pain on her neck and face was so clear that Mu Qingrou, who was frightened, didn't dare to move anymore.
Miss Xu looked at Qingyun, she smiled, "The third girl really wants to see death or not save her?" β
Qingyun looked at her, hooked her lips and smiled, "Miss Xu has also been in the Hou Mansion for a lot of time, what is the relationship between me and the fifth girl, I guess you also know something, do you think I will give away the broken jade that the emperor gave me away for the sake of someone who makes things difficult for me everywhere?" β
Besides, she couldn't send it even if she wanted to, and the day the broken jade emperor gave it to her, it was taken away by Chu Bei.
I used to think that the broken jade was not simple, but now even the assassins want it, it seems that the broken jade is a rare treasure, and Ming'er has to find Chubei to come back.
Such a rare treasure, the assassin actually thought that she would exchange it for Mu Qingrou, this assassin is very naΓ―ve.
Miss Xu frowned, she knew that Qingyun was telling the truth, but she worked hard to enter the Hou Mansion and leave like this, she was unwilling.
Qingyun looked at her, as if she could see through her thoughts, and said with a smile, "You tried your best, just to follow me, I didn't want you, you can't do anything, and then you will be unwilling to let you leave the Hou Mansion like this, right?" β
Miss Xu looked at Qingyun deadly, Qingyun walked towards her, Qingying pulled her, Qingyun brushed her hand away, looked at Miss Xu and said, "I want to know, why don't I want you to repay the favor?" β
Miss Xu has always wanted to know why Qingyun saved her, but didn't take her in, she didn't know what was wrong, and now that Qingyun asked, she really wanted to know.
She furrowed her brow and asked, "Why?" β
"Why?" Qingyun muttered a sentence, then raised her right hand and wiped it, "Got it?" β
Miss Xu subconsciously looked at her tiger's mouth, where there was a layer of calluses.
She suddenly realized, she raised her eyes to look at Qingyun, and said, "You are very smart!" β
Qingyun shrugged and smiled, "I'm smart, I know, I don't need your praise, I sue you because I don't want you to ......." β
Qingyun said, and a short arrow cut through the sky in the distance and hit Miss Xu's head with a bang.
Miss Xu's eyes widened and she was killed instantly.
Before she could breathe, she heard Qingyun's laughter, "Death is not blind." β
As soon as Qingyun's voice fell, the sword in Miss Xu's hand clanged and fell to the ground.
Mu Qingrou also collapsed on the ground, her face as white as a white eggplant beaten by frost.
Wei Chi flashed again, and he crouched down to check Miss Xu's body.
A token was pulled out of her bosom.
Looking at the token, Qingyun clearly saw Wei Chi smile, he held the token in his hand, looked at Qingyun and said, "Third girl, my subordinates have something to do, and I need to go back to the Hou Mansion." β
He was going to send that token to Chu Bei, Qingyun nodded and said, "Go ahead." β
Wei Chi got up, jumped forward, and disappeared again.
Miss Xu died, Mu Qingrou was also scared half to death, like a puddle of mud falling to the ground, the eldest lady helped her up distressedly, took care of her in her arms, and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, there is a mother, don't be afraid of ......." β
Her voice trembled and scared.
She almost lost her daughter.
While comforting, he instructed the maid, "Go and ask the doctor to come!" β
The maid stood aside, listening to the eldest lady say to invite the doctor, she subconsciously glanced at Qingyun.
If you want to talk about medical skills, the imperial doctors in the palace can't compare to the three girls, and they still go to ask for a doctor, isn't this reluctant to seek the near and far?
PS: There are two more today...... (To be continued.) )
