Chapter 117: Sleepless
Xiao Zou looked at Ji Ze's figure striding away, and his heart was cold.
Ji Ze was really angry this time, and he was angry with her, so he showed her his face in public. In fact, she is a sour bitter water, and she doesn't even have a place to complain
After returning to Tinglan Courtyard, Xiao Zou's anger that he had endured for a night finally vented. Everything in the house that could be smashed was smashed to pieces.
A few maids stood guard outside the door, listening to the incessant clanging sound in the house, but no one dared to enter the house to persuade them. Even Hanyu honestly stayed outside the door.
Hancui has served his wife for many years, and was sent by his wife to Xu Jinyu to do eyeliner. Just because there was a little errand, Mrs. mercilessly ordered someone to kill Hancui. Although Hanyu and Hancui did not deal with each other, they could see Hancui die tragically, and they couldn't help but give birth to the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox. Thinking of herself again from Hancui, she became more and more uneasy.
I don't know how long it took for the movement in the house to stop.
Hanyu took a deep breath, glanced at the other maids, and gently pushed the door in.
The ground is full of messes, and there is almost no place to stay.
Xiao Zou's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with anger and ruthlessness.
The maids unconsciously held their breath and cleaned up lightly. After cleaning up, he silently retreated. Hanyu didn't have such good luck. She is Xiao Zou's personal maid, and she has to stay on duty every night.
Xiao Zou waited and waited, until the time passed, and still did not wait for Ji Ze.
Obviously, Ji Ze will not come tonight.
Hanyu plucked up the courage and said, "It's already past the time, and the lady should also be placed." ”
Xiao Zou snorted coldly: "Your courage is getting bigger and bigger." Now I don't even care when I rest. ”
Hanyu's heart tightened, and reflexively knelt down to ask for sin: "The slave is talkative, please calm your anger." While kneeling, he was secretly annoyed. Knowing that Xiao Zou was in a bad mood, he rushed forward to make up, which was simply uncomfortable for himself.
Xiao Zou was full of irritability, how could he be in the mood to scold Hanyu, and waved his hand impatiently: "That's it, you don't need to be on duty tonight, retreat!" ”
Hanyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Busy retreated.
After returning to his room, Hanyu couldn't sleep for a long time. Han Cui's blood-covered body and screaming miserably shook in front of him, and his heart seemed to be pressed heavily by a boulder. Out of breath
Gu Mansion.
Master Gu didn't bother to ask more, so he went back to the house to rest.
"What's going on tonight, Picking Apples?" Mrs. Gu's expression was solemn, and she opened her mouth to ask, "You honestly open your mouth." It is not allowed to conceal half a word. ”
Gu Caiping's face is thicker. couldn't speak, so he replied hesitantly: "Didn't Mrs. Weininghou already say everything?" ”
Mrs. Gu snorted lightly and said with a straight face: "What maid dares to do such a thing." It is clear that Xiao Zou secretly instructed it. And you, how could you run to Xu Jinyu's house, wear Xu Jinyu's clothes and 'drink tea by mistake'? Do you think everyone else is stupid? In front of me, there is nothing to hide. ”
Gu Caiping hung her head in shame and whispered the truth of the matter: "If I don't go, I will miss such a good opportunity in vain." Xu Jinyu told me personally. She has no intention of giving up such a good opportunity to her brother-in-law. I thought about it. I went with a ruthless heart."
Mrs. Gu's heart was surging, and she was so angry that she couldn't even speak: "Do you have a long brain!" Xu Jinyu made it clear that she wanted to trap you! You are happy to take the bait, and you are grateful to others, you are as stupid as a pig! ”
Gu Caiping was unhappy, and retorted without thinking: "Xu Jinyu is obviously helping me, I am willing to do it, where is the trick on me?" Isn't it turning out very well now? The Ji family will come to the door tomorrow to propose! Mrs. Wei Ninghou also said that she would suppress the matter and not allow anyone to chew her tongue. When I get married and use some means to rectify my subordinates, who will dare to mention this matter? ”
It was simply brainwashed by Xu Jinyu and evil!
Mrs. Gu pressed her temples hard, trying to calm her disordered mind: "That's it, things are already like this, it's useless to say anything." You remember to stay away from Xu Jinyu in the future. ”
lest they be sold, and they will happily help them count the silver.
Gu Caiping responded perfunctorily, and didn't listen to Mrs. Gu's words at all.
In the past, she was jealous and hateful of Xu Jinyu, and she was very jealous. However, after this incident, all her hostility towards Xu Jinyu disappeared. Without Xu Jinyu's help, she wants to marry into the Marquis of Weining, and I don't know how many twists and turns it will take.
Moreover, this path was chosen by herself, Xu Jinyu said clearly and clearly at the time, neither persecution nor temptation~ persuasion, she was willing
After a while, a dark shadow quietly climbed over the wall and went out of the Weining Marquis's mansion.
This dark shadow has a sturdy body and is very flexible. After walking out of a paragraph, a few strange sounds suddenly came out of his mouth. Soon, the same sound was harmonized.
Then, out of nowhere, another dark shadow emerged. Took a roll of paper from the shadow's hand.
The black shadow that came out of the Weining Marquis Mansion was Zhou Yong.
Zhou Yong is Zhou Cong's cousin of the same clan, and he is also one of the most effective secret guards around Chen Yuanzhao. was sent to the Marquis of Weining's Mansion to be a florist, which was really overkill.
However, after occasionally hearing his cousin Zhou Cong mention that his general seemed to be interested in Miss Xu, all the reluctance in Zhou Yong's heart suddenly disappeared, and he was full of joy in his busy efforts to collect news and send messages.
The general has never been close to the woman and is alone, and there are rumors in the capital, saying that the general is suffering from a hidden disease
They're just sick! Their whole family is sick! The general is just that fate has not yet arrived, and there is no woman he likes.
Now there is finally the light of day! The general actually began to pay attention to the woman, and specially sent two of the best secret guards to the Hou Mansion. In order for the general to marry Miss Xu as soon as possible, he must work hard!
There are two groups of secret guards lurking outside the Hou Mansion who are specifically responsible for transmitting messages, and they are on call day and night.
Zhou Yong quickly advised: "Tonight's news is very important, and it must be delivered to the general overnight." ”
Xiao Zou and Ji Ze secretly calculated Miss Xu, which made Zhou Yong very angry! Fortunately, Miss Xu was witty and came to Li Dai Taozhuang. Hum! Even if Miss Xu really went in person, he would never be able to watch Ji Ze succeed!
The secret guard answered, mounted his horse lightly and silently, and galloped to deliver the message.
An hour later, the Dark Guard rode his horse to the Divine Guard camp.
The gate of the barracks was tightly closed, and the soldiers guarding the barracks were not sleepy, their eyes wary. Groups of patrolling soldiers passed by from time to time.
The secret guard delivering the letter blew a strange sound outside the camp gate, and the camp gate soon opened
Rows of neat barracks, and ordinary soldiers sleep in one barracks for fifty people. The conditions of the low-ranking generals were slightly better, with a barracks for four people.
As the commander of the Divine Guard, Chen Yuanzhao could sleep in a barracks alone. The accommodation conditions in the barracks are far inferior to those of the Anguo Mansion, and there is only a bed, a table, a chair and a cabinet for clothes in the huge room. It looks spacious and empty.
Chen Yuanzhao was very alert even in his sleep, and when he heard the slight footsteps outside the door, he immediately woke up, held the long knife next to the pillow with his right hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Who?" ”
"General, Zhou Yong has urgent news, and he ordered his subordinates to send it overnight!"
What happened to the Weining Marquis Mansion that made Zhou Yong so anxious?
Chen Yuanzhao's body had already reacted one step earlier, and quickly got out of bed and opened the door. The dark guard sent the paper roll to Chen Yuanzhao, and then retreated.
Chen Yuanzhao lit the candlestick, and then quickly unfolded the paper roll.
There were only a few lines on the paper roll, and Chen Yuanzhao quickly finished reading it, his brows furrowed, and his expression was awe-inspiring.
Today is the big day for Ji Yu to get married, but something like this happened in the Marquis of Weining
A beautiful, gentle, strong and calm girl's face suddenly flashed in his mind.
She once said that in her previous life, it was Xiao Zou and Ji Ze who designed and framed her, which made her lose her chastity and reputation in her previous life, and she had to marry into the Hou Mansion. It turns out that this qiē is all true.
In this life, she will plan and "cede" the position of the Hou Concubine of Weining to Gu Caiping.
He had always been prejudiced against her, obviously too biased.
She is not the greedy vanity and unscrupulous means he imagined, just an innocent and pitiful delicate woman who has been calculated. What happened back then may be just Chen Yuanqing's wishful thinking. She just hid in Chen Yuanqing's yard, and she didn't mean to hold on to Chen Yuanqing. And he indiscriminately criticized her, no wonder she was so angry
Chen Yuanzhao's heart rarely had a trace of apologetic feelings. Looking down again, I was inexplicably unhappy and angry.
Little Zou! Kizawa! The two of them actually calculated Xu Jinyu like this!
An inexplicable anger surged in his chest.
The reason for this, he did not think deeply.
He just made an important decision very quickly. Immediately dispatched fifty skilled secret guards to secretly guard the Weining Marquis Mansion. Once there is any movement in the Weining Hou Mansion, Zhou Yong and Rue Xiang plus these secret guards are enough to protect Xu Jinyu safe and sound
On this night, I don't know how many people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, when Xiao Zou got up, his face was dark and there was a green shadow under his eyes. I don't know how I survived this night.
Hanyu used nearly half a box of fat powder to barely cover Xiao Zou's ugly face.
On weekdays, when the prince is in the house, he will definitely come to say goodbye to Xiao Zou in the morning. Then it was logical to stay and have breakfast with Xiao Zou. This is also the only opportunity for Ji Ze and Xiao Zou to sit together in a bright and bright way.
Today, Ji Ze has disappeared for a long time, and the breakfast carefully prepared by Xiao Zou's people has also cooled down.
Xiao Zou sat at the dinner table and waited and waited, and his heart was cold. (To be continued......)
