Chapter 315: Motivation (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Miss, the inner courtyard is already in charge, let's go back." Cai Yin looked at Yingsleeve with her eyes and carefully persuaded.
She knew that the eldest lady was bitter, and she was waiting for Vice Minister Xie to come back and marry her, but she didn't see anyone for a long time.
Not to mention that the eldest lady is suspicious, even she, who is a subordinate, is suspicious of what she is going to do over there.
Fortunately, the eldest lady and the second lady of the Xie family are still very kind to her, every time she asks, they don't necessarily see her every time, but they have seen her three times in seven days, which is good.
Ying Sleeve looked out the window at the appearance of snowflakes about to fall, and sighed softly.
I'm afraid that even Cai Yin wondered if she was worried that Xie Dongli would not come back and she would not be able to get married, so she thought about letting her go to Xie's house every day to ask him if he had come back.
In fact, where is she worried about getting married?
She was bent on waiting for Xie Dongli to come back, so that he could help find her mother and brother......
Xie Dongli is a clever person, there should be a way, right?
Ying sleeves were folded together, and he was a little surprised in his heart.
When did she trust Xie Dongli more than she trusted Master?
In the past few days, she didn't even think of Master once......
Maybe if Master is here, she can help her, right?
Ying Sleeve blinked, wondering if he should go to the small hillside where Master lived.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Ying Sleeve came back to his senses and glanced at Cai Yin, "Go and see who it is." β
Cai Yin hurriedly bypassed the screen, walked to the door and opened the door, and asked, "Who?" β
That person was actually the shopkeeper of Lu Da.
"Miss Caiyin, I'll see if the eldest lady is here. The prince sent an urgent message to the eldest lady from Nan Zhengguo. The shopkeeper Lu said hurriedly, took out a letter and handed it to Cai Yin.
As soon as Cai Yin received the letter, the expression on her face changed. His body stiffened for a moment.
However, this stiffness was too short-lived, and even the shopkeeper Lu Da, who had always been perceptive, did not notice it.
Cai Yin held the letter, turned around woodenly, with a strange look on her face, and walked over to Yingsleeve.
Yingsleeve heard the voice of Lu Da's shopkeeper in front of the window, turned around and said indifferently: "Is my father making someone congratulate me on my wedding tomorrow?" β
Although after his mother and father separated, the shopkeeper Lu Da followed the shop and business. That is, she stayed on her mother's side, but she knew that her father's side was related to business. It is also mastered by the shopkeeper Lu Da.
So if Yuan Jianren has something to find them, he must go through Lu Da's shopkeeper.
Yingsleeve also knew that her father couldn't go all the way to send congratulatory letters because he was thinking about her marriage.
When she said this, it was just a war of words. Express your grievances. Make your heart feel better.
The matter of her mother and Xiao Lei, now the lady of Zhongzhenguo's mansion knows nothing except herself, her uncle Wang Yueshan and her cousin Shen Yule.
The shopkeeper of Lu Da laughed twice at the door, and said in a low voice: "Yes, my subordinates haven't congratulated the eldest lady on her 100-year reunion with Vice Minister Xie tomorrow!" β
"The shopkeeper Lu is polite." Yingsleeve nodded, and saw that Cai Yin was already holding a letter, and slowly moved it step by step.
She hung her head. The steps are very slow.
The shopkeeper of Lu Da stood at the door for a while, and saw that Yingsleeve had nothing else to say. Then he said, "That subordinate left first." After the eldest lady gets married, let's discuss it again. As he spoke, he closed the door for Ying Sleeve, and made a gesture at the door before leaving backwards and walking towards the staircase.
Yingsleeve had a calm face, and just as he was about to reach out to take the letter from Cai Yin's hand, the jade bracelet on his left wrist suddenly warmed up.
Yingsleeve's heart was shocked, but he could barely maintain the composure on his face.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Cai Yin quietly.
Cai Yin just raised her head, Mu Mu's face met Yingsleeve's gaze, she actually grinned and let out a quackling laugh, "Yuan... Big... Small... Sister, let... You... Long... Wait... up..."
From Caiyin's throat came a voice that was completely different from her original voice.
This voice is old and muddy, like an old woman who has lived for an unknown number of lifetimes, and it makes people get goosebumps when they hear it.
Ying Sleeve raised his eyebrows, put his right hand on the jade bracelet on his left wrist, and asked lightly: "...... Who are you? Why did you fall on Caiyin? β
Her attitude was very calm, as if it was not strange at all, but it surprised the person who was manipulating Cai Yin on the other end.
I saw a person sitting next to a copper basin in a dark room on the outskirts of the capital.
The copper basin is filled with water, like a mirror, reflecting the situation on the sleeve side.
The man stared at the water in the copper basin and muttered something.
Cai Yin also said on the other side like a voice: "I am Cai Yin, what upper body?" Miss Yuanda is thinking too much, right? β
The voice has become much more fluent.
Yingsleeve took a step back and said to Cai Yin, "You put down my father's letter." β
Caiyin's arm stretched out straight, and as soon as she let go, the letter fell and fell to the ground.
Ying Sleeve stared at Cai Yin tightly, slowly squatted down, stretched out his left hand, and shook it on the letter.
The bracelet is not getting hotter, and the letter should be fine.
Ying Sleeve immediately grabbed the letter with his left hand, and stood up.
Cai Yin lowered her eyebrows and didn't speak again, as if she was waiting for Yingsleeve to finish reading the letter.
Ying Sleeve opened the letter while pondering Caiyin's condition.
She looked very much like those two medicine girls, and she was also like Murong Changqing who was hit by the Heart Erosion Gu that time.
If Cai Yin was also hit by Gu, when was it?
Yingsleeve has been wearing the jade bracelet on her hand, and Cai Yin has been following her all the time, so there is nothing unusual at all?
Could it be related to the shopkeeper of Lu Da just now?
But if it was the Gu that was just hit just now, it wouldn't have happened so quickly?
These days, Ying Sleeve has inquired a lot about Gu from Zheng Hao.
She knew that it was not so easy to grow a Gu seed, even if she could get it to someone else, it would take five to seven days, waiting for the Gu seed to hatch before it would work.
Otherwise, you can't control the other party through Gu.
Caiyin's situation must not have been planted just now. So it has nothing to do with the shopkeeper of Lu Da.
And his jade bracelet didn't notice anything unusual before, probably because the Gu seed hadn't hatched at that time, so the jade bracelet couldn't sense it.
Yingsleeve shook her head. Feeling that the situation was getting more complicated, she sighed softly, pulled out the letter, and read it at a glance.
Yuan Jianren didn't say anything else in the letter, only said that he suddenly became seriously ill, and he was afraid that he would not be able to live, and when he was dying. wants to see her and Xiao Lei, and hopes that she and Xiao Lei can come to Nan Zhengguo for a trip and send him off.
Who's going to that place? It's really not too pretty......
Yingsleeve sneered. He put the letter back down.
Cai Yin raised her head at this time, and said solemnly: "Miss Yuan, do you want Ling Tang and Brother Ling to come back safely?" β
Ying Sleeve didn't expect the person behind the scenes to get to the point so quickly, and he didn't have time to hide his true mentality for a while. Raise your head sharply. Eagerly asked, "Of course!" Where did you get my mother and brother?! β
She asked twice in a row, but Cai Yin didn't speak again, just looked at her with a smile.
Seeing Cai Yin's expression, Ying's sleeves sank.
Could it be that the people behind the curtain can still see her through Cai Yin?!
Yingsleeve turned the jade bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand, desperately trying to calm himself down, and said, "If you don't say it, forget it." Anyway, as long as you are willing to give up the lives of Yuan Yinglan and Yuan Yingjia, we will not lose money. β
The people in the dark room on the outskirts of the city let out a "hmm" with some annoyance. Secretly spitted hard, and spat a mouthful of blood into the copper basin.
The water in the copper basin rippled and turned dark red.
"Give her ......," the man commanded into the copper basin.
Cai Yin took out a small cloth bag from her chest. handed it to Ying Sleeve and said, "Miss Yuan, do you recognize these things?" β
Yingsleeve pointed to the table Nunu, "Put it down." β
Cai Yin put the cloth bag down.
Ying Sleeve stared at Cai Yin, walked over, probed with the jade bracelet, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he reached out and waved the small package.
I saw that inside the package was a small silver phoenix hairpin that Shen Yongjie often wore! There is also the close-fitting coat that Xiao Lei wore when he disappeared that day!
Ying Sleeve recognized the little coat because it was one of the few small clothes that Ying Sleeve made for Xiao Lei!
Yingsleeve's eyes suddenly darkened, and she hurriedly stood still on the table, but her body still couldn't stop shaking.
She looked back, glared at Cai Yin and said, "Say! Where did you get my mother and Xiao Lei?! β
Cai Yin let out a rough laugh and said, "Miss Yuan, Ling Tang and Brother Ling are indeed in my hands. I have only one condition, you must repent of your marriage tomorrow in front of all the guests when you visit the church, and I will tell you where they are! β
Yingsleeve's pupils shrank suddenly, "Why is that?" Who are you? Have you taken a fancy to Vice Minister Xie?! β
Yingsleeve never thought that the person behind the curtain would say this!
Could it be that she was wrong?
Isn't it related to Yuan Yingjia and Yuan Yinglan?
It's related to Xie Dongli?!
Is it the rotten peach blossom he provoked?
But except for Zhang Zhenqin and Tang Haijie, the former eldest lady of Tang Anhou's Mansion, Yingsleeve has never heard of anyone who has touched a nail in front of Xie Dongli......
Although Xiao thinks about him a lot, there are only these two girls who have really had a marriage contract and have come to the door to propose marriage.
And Zhang Zhenqin got married a long time ago, and even gave birth to a son.
Tang Haijie has been ordained as a monk.
If Emperor Yuan Hong doesn't speak, it is impossible for her to get married.
Ying Sleeve felt that it would definitely not be these two people.
"You don't care what I do!" Cai Yin snorted, if someone could see the two places at the same time, they would find that her expression was almost exactly the same as that of the person sitting in front of the copper basin in the small dark room outside the city, although the two did not look like each other at all, "You can save their lives by repenting of your marriage tomorrow." If it's too late, your mother, your brother, and your father will all die! I will make the whole world big, it is you, an unfilial daughter, who is happy to marry herself, regardless of the life or death of your family! β
Ying Sleeve was so excited by what she said that her heart was about to jump out.
It was like the darkest nightmare coming true, and Ying Sleeve only felt dizzy.
Holding her head in her hands, she sat down on the edge of the table and muttered, "It's not true...... This must not be true...... I must be dreaming......"
The man behind the curtain seemed to hear her voice and let out a sinister laugh.
The laughter came out of Caiyin's mouth, and it was even more permeating.
It should be an old woman's voice, but it came from the mouth of a sixteen-year-old girl, and the situation was extremely weird.
"You're not dreaming. If you really want to marry Xie Dongli, that's a dream! Cai Yinmu said blankly, although she was laughing, but the smile was not hers, but another person, and her voice was not hers, "Who is Xie Dongxi, how do you know?" How are you worthy to marry him? No one in heaven or on earth is worthy of him! - Where is he that a mortal like you can think of! β
The person behind the curtain seemed to have trouble suppressing his excitement, and the more he spoke, the faster he spoke, the more excited he became.
Yingsleeve raised his head sharply and said through gritted teeth: "I don't believe it!" Don't pretend to be a fool of me! As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and desperately pulled out the lightsaber in the jade bracelet and pointed it straight at Cai Yin's chest.
Far away in the back of the curtain on the outskirts of the city, she felt a scorching heat rush out of the water of the copper basin, and it teased her eyes like fire.
"Ah......h
Cai Yin in front of Ying Sleeve also covered her eyes, "Take it away!" What's that? Get out of the way! β
Yingsleeve simply didn't do it, and he didn't stop fighting, shook his sword, no longer aimed at Cai Yin, and said slowly: "Are you afraid?" - I don't care anyway. You can't do anything with me, but the lives of Yuan Yingjia and Yuan Yinglan are in your hands. If you think about it carefully, for the sake of a man, he didn't even care about his master? It's better to return my mother and brother to me, and I'll give the antidote to Yuan Yingjia and Yuan Yinglan! β
The man slowly felt the burning heat gradually fade, let go of her hand, she saw that the copper basin in front of her was already muddy, and she could no longer see the situation on the other side, she thought for a while, and said, "What am I lying to you about?" You are wearing a royal blue cloud brocade white fox fur front cloak with a royal blue trim with crimson trim, a goose yellow silk short shirt inside, a green and silver rat skin skirt, and a little emerald eight treasures plain silver to cover your temples, yes or no? β
Yingsleeve looked down at what she was wearing, which was exactly what Cai Yin had just said.
But Cai Yin stood in front of her, and she was still a little unsure whether that person was using Gu to control Cai Yin, or if Cai Yin had a problem in the first place. ββThe inside should be combined with the outside, and it is not impossible to eat inside and outside.
ββ¦β¦ What's so strange about guessing these? There must be someone in my house that you paid off. Ying Sleeve raised her eyebrows, turned the lightsaber in her hand again, and pointed at Cai Yin's chest, "I only ask the last sentence, is my mother and brother in your hands?" β
"I swear in the name of the Gu King, if you repent of your marriage in court tomorrow, someone will naturally inform you of the direction of Ling Tang and Ling Di. When the time comes, you give me the antidote, and I will give you the news of Ling Tang and Ling Di. Caiyin's head twisted into a stiff angle, like a blind man, looking for Yingsleeve completely in the direction from which the voice came.
Yingsleeve groaned.
"You don't want to find Xie Dongli as a helper." The man seemed to sense what Ying Sleeve was thinking, and raised his hands and laughed wildly: "If you let Xie Dongli know the truth, I will know immediately, and I will immediately order someone to kill your mother and your brother." You can rest assured, we have the protection of the Gu King, and the transmission of the news is just a thought. You are willing to marry a wishful husband and live a happy life, and you can do it. - Don't think I'm threatening you. As long as you tell me the situation in front of Xie Dongli, I will know! Under the sky, among the Liuhe, nothing can hide from my ears and eyes! β
