Chapter 231: Returning Home
This person is not Xiao Yu!
Hearing this result, Hua Yue's heart suddenly beat sharply, and the ecstasy of the only hope to be confirmed was intertwined with the helpless despair that had been deliberately concealed before, making him unable to remain calm anymore, and couldn't help but step forward and confirm:
"Did you two really see it clearly?"
"Banxia and I have even looked carefully on the left, there shouldn't be." Yuzhu was worried that Hua Yue would be annoyed because of Banxia's question, so he nodded busily, remembering that he couldn't see, and hurriedly added.
There shouldn't be......
Seeing Yuzhu's panicked tone, it was really difficult for the two of them to think of letting these two maids do the same thing as an autopsy, and Hua Yue was in a better mood at this time, and it was rare to say to the two of them at the moment: "It's hard work." β
Banxia and the two didn't even dare to say it, so they hurriedly retreated.
Hua Yue called Xiao Yucheng and the others in and said, "It's not Ah Yu on this couch. β
Although several people hoped that this was true, no one believed it in their hearts, and only when Hua Yue was unwilling to admit the fact that Xiao Yu had passed away, they comforted themselves.
Xiao Yucheng said coldly with red eyes: "What do you mean by this, don't let the second sister go into the ground safely?" β
The woman in the secret room couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.
Xiao Yu didn't know what to say, and at this time she had already loosened the rope, because the woman was watching the dispute with great interest, so she didn't notice it. But if the woman found that she had broken the rope and broke free, she would surely be tied more firmly and taken strict precautions, and there would be no chance of escape.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but grasp the short sword and slowly moved towards the woman.
β¦β¦
Hua Yue didn't say anything about birthmarks. Of course, he won't say the secret of his fiancΓ©e, even if the other party is a nominal cousin and brother-in-law.
And Yuzhu and Banxia know the importance of the girl's name. Hua Yue didn't say it, and of course they wouldn't speak.
Xiao Yucheng was still counting Hua Yue excitedly, and Ling Yi was also persuading him.
Hua Yue was already a little anxious.
In normal times, Hua Yue could certainly talk to a few people calmly, but now that she thinks that this person who is obviously used to replace her died here, Xiao Yu should still be alive, and at this time, she didn't buy time to find someone, but she was entangled. Who knows what will happen one step later!
Hua Yue, who had only experienced a loss, no longer wanted to bear the feeling that her life was only gray and empty, so she turned around and walked out of the house directly.
Xiao Yucheng was furious.
Zhong Lang believed in Hua Yue and left in his footsteps.
The woman couldn't help but snort when she saw this. It's about to turn your head.
At this time, Xiao Yu had already held his breath and approached the woman, and when he saw that she seemed to be about to turn her head, he quickly raised his short sword, closed his eyes, and stabbed her head hard!
The woman hadn't completely turned her head, and she was caught off guard and hit Xiao Yu with a blow.
Just a scream. It drowned out the sound of a blade piercing a skull. Immediately after that, the woman convulsed a few times, and finally stopped moving.
Xiao Yu pulled out the short sword vigorously, closed his eyes and stabbed the woman a few more times before letting go of his hand, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, panting for breath.
In the upper room, Ling Yi saw that Hua Yue and Zhong Lang had left, and thought of something and said to Xiao Yucheng: "What if what Zichen said is true?" Then you are only angry at it here. Wouldn't it be right for the villains to look for Ah Yu's sister instead of looking for it? β
Xiao Yucheng was stunned for a moment.
After speaking, let Banxia and Yuzhu put on clothes for the girl on the bed. also strode out, and instructed his subordinates to watch the yard tightly and go to find Hua Yue and the others.
When Ling Yan heard Hua Yue say that it was not Xiao Yu, she was first surprised, and then when she heard Xiao Yucheng's rebuttal, she was suspicious of the letter, and now when she saw her brother say this, she had to go back to the carriage to accompany Xiao Pei first.
β¦β¦
Xiao Yu sat paralyzed for a while before he felt that he had regained a little strength, but his hands still trembled involuntarily.
It's cold.
This was the first time Xiao Yu had killed someone in her life, and even though she knew that it was a bad person, she couldn't help but be afraid, especially since she still had memories of her past life.
Xiao Yu wanted to cry somehow.
After taking a few deep breaths, he wanted to calm down, but he smelled a strong smell of blood, Xiao Yu almost wanted to gag, and hurriedly staggered back a few steps.
Xiao Yu began to reassure himself that this woman was a very bad person, and she didn't know how many lives she had on her hands and how many girls she had harmed, such as the one above; And if you don't kill her, you will be killed by her.
After thinking about it a few times, Xiao Yu felt better, she resisted her nausea and fear, closed her eyes and dragged the woman away, and then looked at the situation from the bronze mirror.
Even though he had heard the words of a few people just now, and knew that everyone had left, seeing from the bronze mirror that only the corpse of the girl who had covered her face in the empty room above, Xiao Yu still felt a panic.
After staying for a long time, Xiao Yu slowly calmed down, wrapped the thin clothes on his body, wiped it clean with a short sword, and made a cut on his hand.
When Xiao Pei woke up, not long after Ling Yan returned to the carriage, she immediately cried when she saw someone: "Sister Yan, have you found Ah Yu?" I just had a nightmare......"
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't bear to say: "Not yet, but Sister Xiao, don't worry, Sister Ah Yu will definitely come back safely." β
Banxia and Yuzhu, who had washed their hands and changed their clothes repeatedly, had red eyes and lowered their heads.
It was late afternoon, and snow was falling in the sky again.
Covered the messy footprints and blood stains on the ground.
This house has been searched up and down inside and out, except for a few hidden thieves, no trace of Xiao Yu has been found.
And this is actually a big thief cave in the poison gate, this time it is a great achievement to kill and capture thousands of bandits, but Hua Yue and Ling Yi don't care about this.
Because the group came in time, if there was no secret passage, no one should escape, but only a few people heard that a key person was caught in the courtyard, and it was not clear who it was, let alone where Xiao Yu was locked up.
As for those who participated in the humiliation of the girl, they had already been killed.
Several people had already quickly inspected every house in the house, because Hua Yue and Zhong Lang were familiar with the Five Elements Bagua and the art of organs. Several dark rooms were also found, and secret passages were discovered.
But there is still no trace of Xiao Yu.
Hua Yue had asked his subordinates to chase along the secret passage, and now he had completely lost his usual calm. I can't sit still and walk around the house at all.
Zhong Lang sighed in his heart.
Xiao Yucheng asked in a deep voice again: "Why is the playboy unwilling to tell the reason why the second sister is still alive?" Or is it just your ......"
But Xiao Yucheng couldn't say it anymore, he also hoped that what Hua Yue said was true, so he desperately wanted to know the reason, even if it was just made up, as if he could make himself believe it.
However, Hua Yue still didn't speak.
At this time, a few people suddenly hurriedly walked in outside, who seemed to be guarding the previous courtyard.
Hua Yue couldn't help but move in her heart, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?" β
The leader stepped forward and hurriedly saluted. He said: "There are many insects and ants in the yard over there, and I don't know ......."
Before she could finish speaking, Hua Yue had already turned around and walked towards that side.
Zhong Lang, Ling Yi, Xiao Yucheng and a few others naturally followed quickly. When I got there, I took a look. Sure enough, countless insects and ants crawled into the yard in a thin black line, as if something was attracting them.
The guards of the courtyard were forbidden to go inside. So I hurried over to report it.
Hua Yue had already followed the insect ants forward. Several people followed behind excitedly, and they all thought of Xiao Yu.
The insects crawled straight to the previous room, then found a crack in the wall and burrowed into the ground.
Xiao Yucheng couldn't help but say, "Could it be that there is a dark room down there?" β
Could it be that Xiao Yu is locked up below?
And Hua Yue squatted down and tapped the floor tiles calmly, but her slightly trembling fingers revealed her feelings. After a while, stand up and walk back and forth indoors, measuring the direction with your footsteps.
Except for Zhong Lang, who was also calculating, several people withdrew from the door, so as not to disturb the two of them. But he still couldn't help but look at it anxiously.
Xiao Yu also quickly saw all this from the small bronze mirror in the secret room, and couldn't help crying with joy.
Fortunately, its blood is special. A little treatment can attract bugs, so even though they have stripped her naked and examined them carefully, she can lure people over as long as she can move her hands and feet.
Hearing the news, Ling Yan and Xiao Pei couldn't sit still and turned back.
As soon as Xiao Pei saw the covered corpse on the bed, he remembered that it was not a nightmare, but it really happened, angina, and when he thought that it might be as Hua Yue said, it was not Xiao Yu, so he cheered up and looked at Hua Yue and Zhong Lang.
β¦β¦
When the complex mechanism was broken and the secret room was opened, Xiao Yu, who was disheveled and stained with a large amount of blood, immediately stumbled and pounced.
Hua Yue heard the familiar sound of breathing and footsteps, and felt that this was simply the most beautiful sound in the world, and a joy and excitement similar to the loss of a treasure poured out unscrupulously from the bottom of his heart, making him tremble slightly, and then almost invisibly opened his hands.
At this time, Xiao Yu had already come to the front, and she suddenly threw herself into Xiao Pei's arms not far behind Hua Yue: "Sister! β
Tears rained down.
Hua Yue's body stiffened, and she withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, which made Zhong Lang, who was noticed next to her, a little funny.
Everyone who has experienced the previous misidentification has a feeling of being separated from the world.
Xiao Pei, Xiao Yu and Ling Yan hugged and cried together, and the faces of Yuzhu and the maids were full of tears, and they couldn't wipe them with a handkerchief, and their eyes were already red and swollen.
Everyone seemed to have a terrible nightmare, and when they woke up at this time, they found that it was just a dream, and that feeling was tantamount to the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, even Xiao Yucheng almost knelt down, and muttered with tears in his eyes at this moment: "Thank God for blessing." β
And a few maids have already begged the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and now they only say that they will go to Cuishan to repay their vows when the time comes.
It took a long time for everyone's mood to calm down, but Zhong Lang noticed that Hua Yue seemed to have a different expression, as if she was thinking something.
At this time, Xiao Pei pulled Xiao Yu aside and asked her if she had suffered any grievances after being taken away.
Xiao Yu shook his head.
Someone had already entered the secret room and dragged the woman's body out, and when he saw this Xiao Yudeng, he remembered the scene of killing her with his own hands.
At this time, seeing the white flowers on the woman's head, Xiao Yu couldn't help it for a while, and retched to the side.
Frightened, several people hurriedly went over to appease.
Hua Yue frowned, and asked those people to quickly dispose of the corpse, and guessed that Xiao Yu might have some shadows in her heart, thinking that she would enlighten her after the ceremony.
It was already a little dark, the north wind was blowing harder, the snow had not stopped, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow.
The people guarding the gate outside the courtyard were a little apprehensive.
Although these people let Ling Yi yell out in time, they probably knew what was going on, and when they heard the exclamation of Xiao Yucheng and the others, they already knew that something had probably happened to the county lord of Le'an.
Later, there was even more weeping inside.
But after a long time, Hua Yue and a few people suddenly came out to look for it everywhere, could it be that the county lord of Le'an was poisoned, and everyone was looking for an antidote?
What's the deal with these sudden insects?
Now there was another cry in the courtyard, and it was undisguised, so that the people guarding the door couldn't help but panic. Although they really shouldn't speculate about these things, they can't suppress the curiosity in their hearts, and this result will also affect their errands and even their lives. If something happens to the lord of Le'an...... Phew. Then they will not be able to escape the blame.
Ling Yi asked the body of the girl in the room to be wrapped in the cloak so that no one could see her appearance, remembering the misidentification, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he called Xiao Yucheng over.
Before they saw Xiao Yu in the secret room, several people really couldn't imagine that there were such similar people in the world.
Xiao Yucheng pondered for a moment after hearing this, nodded solemnly, called Xiao Pei and whispered a few words, Xiao Pei immediately couldn't help but blurt out: "How is it possible?!" β
Everyone looked at each other in unison, and Xiao Yu asked worriedly, "Sister, is something happening again?" β
Xiao Pei shook his head, but when he came over, he asked a lot of details about the relationship between the two sisters before, many of which only the two of them knew.
At this time, Xiao Yu realized that Xiao Yucheng was worried that she was also a fake.
Immediately answered them one by one.
Seeing that Xiao Pei was obviously relieved, he smiled again, and turned his head to Xiao Yucheng and nodded. Suddenly, Hua Yue next to her said without any emotion: "Burn that corpse." β
Several people were stunned, and after a while, they realized that Hua Yue was talking about a girl with a similar appearance to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Pei's face was unbearable, and she was about to say something, but Xiao Yu grabbed her and shook her head.
Such a look, if you let someone with a heart to make an article, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, Xiao Yucheng and a few people also thought of this, and immediately ordered someone to carry the cool couch to the courtyard, pile up tables and chairs, etc., and light a fire, and after the fire burned almost enough, then ordered the aftermath to wait for the ashes to be put away and buried, and the group left the house in a carriage.
Xiao Yu had already left the county lord's mansion night after day, and the delay would inevitably make people suspicious.
Hearing that the person had come back safely, Xiao Wensong's brothers were relieved and went to see Xiao Yu together, if they couldn't find it, they didn't know how to explain to the old lady.
Hua Yue and Ling Yi gave a gag order for today's incident, so even the people in the Xiao Mansion didn't know about the misidentification.
However, after this incident, Hua Yue became more suspicious of something, but the most important thing at present is tomorrow's wedding.
Now that the auspicious day has been chosen, it will be held as scheduled so that people will not speculate about today's events and affect Xiao Yu's reputation.
And after such a thing, Hua Yue hoped that Xiao Yu could pass the door earlier.
When Xiao Yu returned to the county lord's mansion, the maid was overjoyed, and Jiang Qingyuan, who was ordered to stay in the mansion, immediately came up to ask for guilt. But she didn't have time to do these things, and after everyone retreated, Xia Zhi had prepared hot water for her to bathe and change her clothes.
For Xia Zhi to be so understanding, Xiao Yu immediately praised it, and then asked Banxia and Yuzhu to bathe and change their clothes.
Before Hua Yue asked the two to find cinnabar moles and birthmarks, Xiao Yu saw them all.
The two of them naturally remembered this incident and hurriedly responded to it.
Xiao Yu knew that tomorrow's gift would definitely not be postponed, so after taking a bath, he barely ate something, took care of the wounds on his hands, and rested early.
As for the rest of the things, there will always be arrangements arranged by Xiao Mansion, Ling Yi, Hua Yue and others. (To be continued......)
