Chapter 401: Traps

Although Lin Zhu had tried very hard to avoid the pits dug for her by some well-intentioned people, she couldn't always stay in one place without moving, and she couldn't say to Lin Qinglan that she was guarding against the Zhao family's people. Therefore, I had to be careful to have a cold conversation with the ladies and ladies who came to the birthday banquet.

However, Lin Zhu didn't know which of the people who came were related to the Zhao family or familiar with the Zhao family. also knows whether anyone will have ill intentions towards her. However, the heart of harming others is indispensable, but the heart of defending others is indispensable. Not only was she careful everywhere, but even the maids Minglu and Mu Jingwen around her told her carefully. Resolutely do not allow yourself to have a chance to be alone.

On her mother-in-law's birthday, as a daughter-in-law, Zhao was also arranged to do a lot of things, but she still kept people paying attention to Lin Zhu's movements, and also instructed her confidants to take Lin Zhu to Zhao Yu's neighborhood as long as she had the opportunity, as for what kind of consequences would occur, it was not her concern.

The Zhao family has been married to the Lin Mansion for more than ten years, and she has already cultivated many people who can be used, even if she is not the Zhao family's henchmen, as long as she gives her orders, the subordinates of the Lin Mansion will still follow her instructions. It's just not that dedicated. However, under the Zhao family's heartfelt reward, there are still people who are willing to do things for her.

"Miss Zhu, please come here, you have been arranged in another courtyard." An inconspicuous green-clothed maid walked up to Lin Zhu's side and pointed to the courtyard some distance from the courtyard where she was.

"Really?" Lin Zhu looked in the direction she was pointing, and then at the green-clothed maid standing in front of her, although she was also dressed as a maid. But there are still some differences from the appearance of the maids in the Lin Mansion that Lin Zhu saw before. "Which courtyard are you from? That's not what the second lady said just now. ”

Lin Zhu asked a little sternly, there was no trace of mild breath on his face, and his eyes were staring coldly at the green-clothed maid.

"The slave maid was ordered to invite Miss Zhu, and please make it convenient." The green-clothed maid didn't report herself, but looked arrogant, and she didn't have much respect for Lin Zhu, "I think you don't want to let other ladies wait for you alone." There was a look of disdain in his eyes.

"Alright then, you lead the way ahead." Seeing that she refused to tell her history, Lin Zhu was already a little wary of her in his heart.

The green-clothed maid walked in front, her steps a little anxious. didn't care at all whether Lin Zhu could keep up. Walking straight forward.

Minglu had the intention to tell her to slow down, such a fast would only make Lin Zhu's posture very embarrassing, but the green-clothed maid walked straight forward as if she hadn't heard. And her walking route seems to be going around in circles. If Lin Zhu didn't have the heart to write down the route she took. Then you will definitely get lost in the huge courtyard of the Lin Mansion.

"How far is it?" Lin Zhu left in too much hurry. Some slight wheezing. She stood still, ignoring the green-clad maid's attempts to urge.

"It's just ahead." The green-clothed maid pointed to a courtyard in front of her and said. Although she tried her best to hide her anxiety, Lin Zhu still saw the signs. "Miss Bamboo. It's not far ahead. As he spoke, a little girl with a round face walked out from the other direction, dressed like the girl in green.

"Sister Jiu'er, why are you still here? Madame is looking for you, you are in a hurry, come with me. The round-faced maid took the hand of the green-clothed maid and was about to walk in the direction she came.

"Miss Zhu, I'm really sorry, the yard is in front, and it's a few steps away. The slave maid still has to listen to Mrs. Hou's instructions, and she can't lead the way. After saying that, he followed the round-faced maid and walked away.

Hang the three of Lin Zhu's master and servant there.

After Lin Zhu saw them leave, he looked at the surrounding environment with a gloomy face, except for flowers and trees, he couldn't even see a single figure, if someone really did something here, it was estimated that no one would see it.

"Girl, they did it on purpose." Minglu had an angry expression on his face. Mu Jingwen looked at Lin Zhu calmly, waiting for her instructions.

"I know it." Lin Zhu nodded, judging from the current situation, the courtyard in front of him definitely can't go. If you go, maybe there will be some traps waiting for you.

The path taken by the two maids could not be followed, and the round-faced maid was obviously here to pick up the green-clothed maid. They will definitely leave quickly, and they will not give themselves a chance to follow.

And the most important point is that Lin Zhu is not familiar with the roads of Lin Mansion, and if he walks around, if he goes to a place where he shouldn't go, he can't tell what he wants.

At this time, she regretted what she had just done. I wanted to see what the conspiracy was, but now I put myself in a dilemma.

"Do you remember the way you came?" Although Lin Zhu also remembered something, she was not sure if she would be able to return the way she came.

"Don't worry, girl, your subordinates will remember it." This aspect is Mu Jingwen's strength, and she has undergone special training, of course, it is not a problem.

"That's good." Lin Zhu nodded, and he had a bottom in his heart. "Now let's go back the way we came." Lin Zhu looked around carefully and found that no one was watching them.

When he walked back, Lin Zhu also found a lot of forks. After all, the road led by the green-clothed maid just now was twists and turns. There are some routes that she can't get inaccurate, and Mu Jingwen will calmly point out the marks she has inadvertently left. This relieved Lin Zhu a lot.

I had just walked back less than two hundred meters when a man's voice suddenly came from a fork in the road, "Is it just ahead?" Then followed by a reluctant voice, "Yes, Young Master Sun." ”

These two voices made Lin Zhu suddenly shiver. If you're still in the same place just now, or if you walk to the courtyard in front of you, you'll probably meet these two people soon.

Lin Zhuchong waved his hand at the frightened Minglu and the calm Mu Jingwen, and the three of them turned to the back of a rockery. lightly, did not let the two find the traces of the three people.

Lin Zhu hid behind the rockery, listening to the sound of footsteps from far to near, and from near to far, until there was no more sound. I was completely relieved. Lin Zhu secretly glanced at the man's back from behind the rockery, which was a moon white and a gray figure.

Thinking about it, the person just now was Zhao Cheng's grandson Zhao Yu, hmph, it seems that the Zhao family is really not giving up, and would actually use such a vicious method. wants to use the method of ruining his reputation to force himself to comply. If there was no Zhao family's participation in it, Lin Zhu would not have believed it.

However, the current situation is to hurry back to the place just now, and don't let people find themselves in the same direction as Zhao Yu.

The three of Lin Zhu's master and servant quickly followed the route they came to and walked towards the original place. However, Lin Zhu was still afraid that someone would make a fuss about this matter, so when she was close to the place, she found someone who was obviously wearing a maid's costume, and her costume was an azure muslin dress that many maids were wearing. Ask her where she can wash.

The maid saw that Lin Zhu's clothes and jewelry were very exquisite, and she knew that she might be either rich or expensive, after all, the people who could come to the old lady's birthday banquet were not idle people. So the maid was very polite and walked to the washing place with the three of Lin Zhu's master and servant.

This time, on the way to walk, I kept meeting people from the Lin Mansion or other guests who came to attend the birthday banquet. The three masters and servants of Lin Zhu also appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Even if someone wanted to slander her, she had enough witnesses to prove her innocence.

Lin Zhu, who was in a good mood, rewarded the little maid with a gold coin afterwards. Le's little maid can't wait to follow Lin Zhu and guide her to all paths. Lin Zhu also talked with her while she was leading the way, and asked her without a trace about the origin of the green-clothed maid and the round-faced maid just now.

However, her answer surprised Lin Zhu. "Miss Hui's words, there is no green-clothed maid in the house, the round-faced maid you mentioned, the slave maid has not seen it, maybe someone else brought it." The little girl is in a good mood because she won a big prize, and she naturally answers some less important questions.

There are rules for the clothes of the maids in the Lin Mansion from the first class to the third class. The first-class maids are water-red muslin clothes, and occasionally some favored maids will have some better clothes, but most of them are of this color. The second-class maid is azure, and the one who leads the way for Lin Zhu is a second-class maid. The dress of the third-class maid is blue.

So the two maids that Lin Zhu said were not from the Lin Mansion at all.

After Lin Zhu listened, his eyes darkened, it seemed that someone had dug a pit for him to jump, and it really took a lot of thought. At the very least, the two maids themselves don't want to find them again. There is no evidence for this, and if something really happens, it must have knocked out the teeth and swallowed blood.

However, in front of the maid of the Lin Mansion, Lin Zhu did not show anything unusual. She led the way and smoothly returned to the place where Lin Qinglan was.

"Sister Xiaozhu, where did you go just now?" Lin Qinglan asked with concern.

"Sister Qinglan, I'm really sorry, I just let this sister take it to clean up." With his hand, Lin Zhu pointed to the maid who led the way just now.

"Second Miss, the slave has gone back." Seeing that there was nothing to do with herself, and she had also been rewarded, the little maid obediently retreated.

Lin Qinglan didn't see anything unusual, she smiled and nodded, this maid knew herself, so she didn't say anything, "I'm going to be seated later, and you will sit next to me then." Afraid of Lin Zhu's restraint, Lin Qinglan said deliberately.

"Xie Lu, Sister Xie Qinglan." Although Lin Qinglan was very kind to herself, Lin Zhu didn't want to tell her what had just happened before the matter was clear. If there is no evidence at all, it will not do you any good to speak out. Maybe the rumors will make people think that they have something dissatisfied with the Lin Mansion, so they will 'slander' the Lin Mansion like this. (To be continued......)
