Chapter 33: Night Detective
The princess died.
After she shouted the sentence of the earth-shattering shock, she bit her tongue and committed suicide before the people who reacted re-stuffed their mouths.
Before her, Yuqiao, who had been beaten by her fate, had been beaten six or seven boards, because of the death of Wang Pozi, the board was stopped by Zhou Tan, after all, if she continued to fight, it would really become a "murderous mouth" if she pressed on the head of the Zhou family.
The people who stayed in the back garden wished that they had never had ears, but they had no choice but to close their mouths and disperse under Zhou Tan's stern reprimand.
And several masters of the Zhou family have also moved to Mrs. Zhou's upper room, and the matter is so big that neither the Xie family nor Zhou Tan can continue to hide from Mrs. Zhou.
Zhou Manyun stared at the upper room where the only light was still on in the third watch, and he was at a loss.
It is estimated that he was afraid that the situation would expand again, and the Gao family in the second room and the Min family in the fourth room were not entangled anymore, and only the mother Du family suffered from the pond fish because of listening to the voice of the princess's mother-in-law.
Man Yun is not only worried about his mother, but also hangs on his eldest sister Manhua.
It is said that Zhou Manhua was tired of crying and had fallen asleep, but Manyun didn't believe it.
Only a five-year-old child will cry one moment and sleep the next. Adult women don't, not to mention the word "name", Zhou Manyun, who survived in his previous life, didn't know how many days and nights it took to slowly let go of his knot.
She's going to die! Zhou Manyun closed his eyes in pain.
With a long sigh, Du Shi, who came out of the upper room, hugged his daughter who was sitting under the porch and waited for him, and took a deep look at the upper room, where only Xie Shi was left alone.
Xie Shi was unusual, and instead of sitting on the side of Mrs. Zhou's bed, he knelt on the ground and kept sobbing.
Xie now regrets deeply, regretting that he shouldn't have brought the bane of Mrs. Wang with him when he went out. At that time, she thought that even if her father-in-law and husband were still in prison, they would not be able to fall in front of the He family, who was related, and traveled as the eldest grandmother and eldest girl of the Zhou Mansion.
Living in Fengjin, the manpower is inconvenient, and the princess who knows the rules is also called to make up the number.
When they arrived at the county office, Xie and He talked about things in the back house, and He's two daughters invited Manhua to go to the city god temple on the left, thinking that it was close at hand, and he wanted to be a guest with the host, so Xie agreed.
As soon as Zhou Manhua went out, he was relied on by Mrs. Wang, saying that she wanted to follow Manhua to the City God Temple and pray for the dead Brother Wen by the way. Zhou Manhua actually responded, replaced another girl with Mrs. Wang, and only took her and Yuqiao to the temple, and in the temple, she was separated by Mrs. Wang and the Lou sisters in a few words.
"Mrs. Wang should have done it on purpose, and the surname Zhang may be the ...... she hooked up with", Xie was sad and angry, gritting his teeth.
"The Lou sisters know?" , Mrs. Zhou was noncommittal, and asked another question in a deep voice.
Xie Shi reluctantly moved his knee and whispered, "I know." ”。
Zhou Manhua, who was lightened by Zhang Shaoxiong, turned around and jumped into the goldfish swamp, a passing person jumped into the water and helped her ashore, and then Zhang Luo asked Manhua to change her clothes It was the eldest lady of the Lou family.
"And outsiders? What is the origin of the passerby who went into the water? ”
"Daughter-in-law doesn't know!" , A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Xie's forehead, and his fingertips grabbed his palm.
The more detailed she asked, the more upset Mrs. Zhou became.
When he heard that Xie was only thinking about his daughter, he hurried home when he saw the frightened Manhua, and the two who followed Manhua were brought back by the people who arranged for the county government to tie their hands and feet and plug their mouths. A white porcelain pillow painted with colorful eight immortals smashed straight at Xie Shi, and after hitting Xie Shi's shoulder, he slammed on the floor.
"The younger sister surnamed Zhang just became a concubine during the Chinese New Year?" , Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly and said, "Is he going to take advantage of the situation to settle the old accounts of the year?" ”
As soon as Mrs. Zhou said this, Xie remembered the old story, the old Guangenhou once asked to marry his sister-in-law Zhou Xianxiu for his grandson Zhang Shaoxiong, but was rejected by his father-in-law.
It turns out that the daughter will suffer from this unjustified disaster? Xie Shi was even more sad in his heart, knelt down a few steps, grabbed Mrs. Zhou's hand, and shouted, "Mother! ”
Mrs. Zhou sighed, gently caressing the top of Xie's head with one hand, but with the other hand, she picked up a five-inch square rosewood gold painted wooden box from the inside of the bed......
It was about the time when it had already passed, and it was now the fifth day of the seventh month.
Zhou Manyun stared at her big eyes in the dark, in a daze, she couldn't tell how she felt in her heart, whether she was glad that Manhua had survived the death of the fourth day of the seventh month, or she was terrified of the tragedy that might occur.
Do you want to do something? What can I do?
Zhou Manyun, who suddenly felt inexplicably anxious, got up, sat up straight, stroked his left arm, and rolled up his sleeve.
What made her feel uncomfortable was the little snake that had been quietly wrapping around her arm, and at this moment, she was tightly wrapping around and pulling Man Yun's lotus root arm out a few times, the snake letter hissed softly, and her little head wandered, swinging in the direction of the window.
Let me go to the window? Zhou Manyun walked lightly under the window, slowly pushed the window open, and the little snake popped away and hung on the sash of the window.
"You like her?" In the dark, a voice asked, extremely clear and extremely cold.
Stinky Taoist! Zhou Manyun's eyes widened in surprise.
"You like her!" , this time it was a statement, to the little snake that climbed into Manyun's hand again, and to Zhou Manyun, who subconsciously pulled the little snake into his sleeve.
Sure enough, this snake is related to a false Taoist! Moreover, this person was able to sneak into the courtyard of the Zhou family without knowing it, and talk to her without fear.
Zhou Manyun looked at the mother and others in the room in horror, who seemed to be sleeping.
"It's just a matter of letting them sleep more soundly. I just wanted to take her away! The empty words outside the window, with a little sadness in the words.
Man Yun pressed his beating heart, thought for a moment, and figured out that what the Taoist priest said about the latter one should be referring to the little snake that was caged in his sleeve again.
The midsummer night breeze gently penetrated the half-open window, brushing the top of Manyun's hair, and it was actually cool and gritty.
Zhou Manyun tried his best to calm himself down for a while, before standing on tiptoe, holding the windowsill with his hand, and asked softly to the darkness in front of him, "Are you still there?" ”
"In!"
"Can you take me to the back garden embroidery building to have a look?" , Zhou Manyun felt that such a request was a bit like a tiger seeking skin, but she wanted to go, wanted to confirm whether Zhou Manhua in that building was dead or alive now.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Manyun heard a voice, "Okay!" ”
The window was opened wider from the outside, and Man Yun, who had moved a small stool, stood up, still shaking, and carried her out with a pair of arms that reached into the room.
His body was completely wrapped in a dark cloak, and when Man Yun stood firm, he found himself standing under the tiled roof of the embroidery building, overlooking the white moonlight of the lotus pond in the garden.
"You're bold! It's different from the average Central Plains girl. The false words that squatted beside Man Yun looked at her, his eyes burning, "Can you tell me now, what do you want to see?" ”
As long as a person dies a few more times, he will naturally be bold.
Zhou Manyun lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows with slight anger, and said softly: "I'll come to see my lobby sister, are you dead!" ”
"Sure enough!" , In a chuckle, Zhou Manyun only felt that his little body rolled in the air for a week, and then was hooked and hung upside down on the roof, and was thrown straight into an open window in the attic.
After taking Man Yun a few steps through the dark corridor, he stopped and remained motionless.
Zhou Manyun looked up at him hesitantly, and then, with a wrinkled nose, followed a faint breath, and took a step.
"Not bad! According to the strength of the taste, I guess she is not dead yet, but it is soon. ”
