Chapter 146: More and More Strange
The jade unicorn, who had changed into clean clothes, had now slowly calmed down, and meekly leaned his back against the gold ingot, letting him wipe his hair for himself.
"When I was a child, I was very naughty and often sneaked out, and once, when I went out to play, I accidentally fell into the trap of a hunter, and no one came to save me after crying for a long time, and finally my mother found me." Although the jade qilin's voice was flat, his eyes moistened, and he choked up: "No matter where I run, my mother can always find me, why can't I find her now?" ”
Jin Yuanbao paused, gently put down the towel in his hand, and hugged her into his arms: "Jade Qilin, you are the first person in the capital to catch me, can't you leave this matter to me?" ”
There were tears in the eyes of the jade unicorn, and she could only look at the gold ingots in a daze for a while, but she looked even more pitiful.
"Okay......" Jin Yuan Bao sighed: "I will investigate Wen Po's murderer, and I will hand over your mother's whereabouts to me." I will definitely bring your mother back safely, trust me. ”
"Hmm......" Yu Qilin only felt that all the grievances and worries had found an outlet, and all of them poured out in an instant, she nodded slowly, as if all her strength was gone, leaned softly into his arms, and closed her eyes.
Early the next morning, when the jade unicorn woke up, the figure of the gold ingots had long been gone, and remembering his promise yesterday, the jade unicorn couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart.
After freshening up, the jade unicorn walked towards Jiang Xiaoxuan's residence with this slight sweetness, but when he passed through the back door. only to find that Aunt Gu was sneakily talking to the coachman outside.
The jade unicorn paused, and secretly stepped forward in confusion.
"Madame will leave the house later, and you park the carriage at the back door. Don't alarm anyone else. Aunt Gu explained.
"Yes!"
Mrs. Kim went out, why did she go through the back door? As the jade qilin was thinking, Aunt Gu turned around and walked over, and she hurriedly hid her figure behind the big tree.
After a while, Aunt Gu walked over with Mrs. Jin in her arms, and the two of them looked left and right cautiously. The track is very sneaky.
The jade qilin became more and more puzzled, and after the two got into the car, she quietly followed. In order to avoid being discovered by the two. She performed a light skill that she hadn't used for a long time, and followed from afar, but she didn't lose it.
The carriage traveled for a while, and then stopped outside a secluded courtyard in the capital.
Mrs. Jin got out of the car with the help of Aunt Gu. The jade unicorn took advantage of the situation and hid in an overgrown place. Under the cover of weeds, he slowly approached where Mrs. Jin was and spied on Mrs. Jin's movements.
A young couple hurriedly greeted the courtyard, both of whom saluted Mrs. Jin with a flattering and respectful expression.
The coachman was busy carrying boxes of gifts from the carriage into the yard, and the young couple looked at it with a smile.
"Madam, these two are the sons and daughters-in-law of the Wen Po Liu family." Aunt Gu introduced.
Hearing this, the jade unicorn was shocked on the spot like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Mrs. Jin nodded slightly, dignified and dignified. Looking at the two of them is like looking at two ants: "Don't be polite, go in and talk about it." ”
The young couple welcomed Mrs. Kim into the house. The jade unicorn wanted to come forward to ask, but he was afraid of startling the snake, so he had no idea for a while.
She thought for a long time, and was about to come out of the hiding place, but saw that Mrs. Jin had come out of the courtyard, and the couple followed behind Mrs. Jin and respectfully sent Mrs. Jin into the carriage.
"Remember what you just said?" Aunt Gu turned around and explained.
"Madame, rest assured!" Liu's son replied.
"We don't have any other skills, but we are strict-mouthed." Liu's daughter-in-law also said.
Hearing this, Mrs. Jin nodded, got into the carriage, and lowered the curtain satisfied.
Looking at the carriage in the distance, the Liu couple looked at each other and smiled, and then entered the door.
When the carriage was far away, the jade unicorn came out of its hiding place and knocked on the door.
It was Liu's daughter-in-law who came out to answer the door, and she looked at the jade unicorn suspiciously: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"That ......" Yu Qilin's eyes rolled, and then he raised his chin and said: "I am the maid of the Jin Mansion, and the lady left in a hurry and forgot to tell some things. ”
As soon as the daughter-in-law heard that it was someone from the Jin Mansion, she immediately respectfully welcomed the jade unicorn into the house, and called her husband out, and the two bowed their heads and listened.
"Dare to ask Madame what else she commands."
"That's right!" The jade unicorn pretended to say: "Madame is still not at ease, Liu Wenpo's matter-"
"Please go back and tell Madame, we will definitely follow Madame's wishes, move out of here as soon as possible, and be tight-lipped about my mother's affairs." Liu's son respectfully assured.
"What a mother, mother!" Liu's daughter-in-law bumped him with her elbow and raised a flattering smile: "From now on, we have nothing to do with Liu Wenpo." ”
Hostess: (respectfully)
"Yes, yes, we don't know any Liu Wenpo." Liu's son nodded and said.
Looking at the servile appearance of these two people, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
And the two of them didn't expect this girl to be surprised, and they couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
The jade qilin reacted suddenly, and hurriedly said: "That's fine, as long as you do what Madame wants, your benefits are indispensable." ”
When the two of them heard this, they didn't mention how happy they were, but they still barely restrained themselves in front of the jade qilin.
Liu's daughter-in-law covered her mouth and smiled: "Where is the girl, Mrs. has already taken care of us very much, so I am embarrassed to charge more from Mrs. ”
The jade qilin now understood the reason, and he didn't have time to care about what the couple said, so he hurriedly went out and left.
The night is deep and the moon is bright.
Even the moon, which has always been bright and soft, brings a kind of indifference to the jade unicorn.
After a busy day, the gold ingots had already fallen asleep and snored lowly.
However, the jade unicorn tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time, and kept recalling the scene he had seen with his own eyes in the morning......
Mrs. Kim is becoming more and more suspicious, and this suspicion is still deepening...... If, if the mother really fell into her hands!
The Jade Qilin didn't dare to imagine it anymore......
She sat up with her hands on her knees and stared blankly at the bright moon outside the window. In the midst of extreme exhaustion and anxiety, I gradually fell asleep......
In the dream, she walked blankly. Suddenly, the Yu clan appeared in front of him, and the jade unicorn ran over excitedly, and was about to grab the Yu clan's hands, but Mrs. Jin suddenly appeared behind the Yu clan, holding a dagger, and approached the Yu clan step by step!
The jade qilin was so anxious that he shouted frantically. However, the Yu clan didn't hear anything, and she could only watch as Madame Jin plunged the dagger into the back of the Yu clan's heart!
"Mother! Mother-"
The jade unicorn suddenly woke up from its dream. With tears on his face, he gasped frantically.
However, in front of me is a dim bedroom, and outside the window is the bright moon that is still bright. The gold ingots beside him were still snoring softly.
The jade unicorn stroked his chest. Fang Zhi is a dream. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She got up slowly, instinctively wanting to wake up the gold ingots to confide.
She nudged it slightly, but the gold ingots didn't respond. She was about to increase her strength, but looking at the sleeping face of the sleeping gold ingot, she couldn't bear it, hesitated for a moment, and put on her coat. Get out the door.
The breeze blew in and dried the tears on her face. But it also brought a slight tingling. It's late autumn, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, has my mother added clothes? Can I cover it with a warm quilt?
The jade unicorn was in a trance, walking blankly in the yard, and unconsciously moved away from the pine and bamboo garden and walked to the artificial lake.
By the lake, Liu Wenzhao was looking up at the moon, heard footsteps, turned his head and saw that it was a jade unicorn, and was taken aback: "Qilin." ”
The jade unicorn was stunned: "Cousin." ”
"You're not sleeping at such a late hour?" Liu Wenzhao asked with concern.
"I can't sleep." The jade unicorn gathered the clothes on his body.
Looking at her reddish eyes, Liu Wenzhao frowned slightly: "What, have you cried?" ”
The jade qilin hurriedly wiped his tears and lowered his head.
"Quarreled with Yuanbao again?" Liu Wenzhao asked tentatively.
"No......" Jade Qilin shook his head.
"You've lost your soul these days, what's wrong?"
"I ......" Yu Qilin suddenly found the object to confide in, looked at Liu Wenzhao with tears in his eyes, and sighed long: "My mother was arrested." ”
"Your mother?" Liu Wenzhao feigned surprise.
"My adoptive mother in Mount Emei."
"The one we saw last time?"
"Hmm." The jade unicorn nodded.
"How could this happen? Any clues? ”
"I only know that a group of bad people brought her to the capital, and I don't know where she is held."
"Beijing? Is there such a thing? Then let Yuanbao check it for you. Liu Wenzhao's face was stunned.
He said he looked it up...... But it didn't work......"
"Yuan Bao is known as the first god in the capital, if a person really arrives in the capital, how can he have no clues? Human life is a major matter, and he will help you check it if he doesn't sleep! ”
The jade unicorn couldn't help but feel a little bored: "Looking for a needle in a haystack, there must be a time." ”
"But why did the people in the capital go to Emei Mountain to catch an irrelevant middle-aged woman? It's weird. Does your mother have any enemies in the capital? ”
"My mother is a mountain village woman, what enemy can she have?"
"It's strange that there is no enemy, so who doesn't want your mother to live in peace?" Liu Wenzhao asked tentatively.
"Who?" The jade unicorn's heart tightened.
"If this has something to do with your identity, the purpose of arresting your adoptive mother is likely to expose you as a fake Jiang Xiaoxuan. But now there are only a few people who know your identity, Yuanbao, me, Gu Changfeng, Jiang Xiaoxuan, Gu Auntie, and ......" Liu Wenzhao paused and increased his voice a little: "And Madame." ”
The jade qilin was taken aback, it was naturally impossible for them to say it to the ingots and long wind, and the person in front of him had always cared about himself, so it was naturally impossible for him to ...... Could it be Mrs. Kim?
Liu Wenzhao naturally took her look in his eyes, but he pretended to wake up and lost his words, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about it, it won't be Mrs. Jin, it can't be her, Mrs. Jin is the head of the family, how could she do such a despicable and dirty thing." Besides, Madame has already concealed the marriage for you in front of the Queen Mother, and she has no reason to arrest your adoptive mother. But if it's not her, who else could it be? ”
The jade unicorn's face became more and more ugly.
"Forget it, don't think about it, go back to bed early." Liu Wenzhao patted her on the shoulder.
However, when the jade qilin was reminded by him like this, the more he thought about it, the more strange he became, and he frowned: "Cousin, you go back to rest early, I still have something to do." With that, he quickly turned and left.
Liu Wenzhao stood in place, looking at the back of the jade unicorn in the distance, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a sneer. (To be continued......)
