Chapter 124: Take the initiative
Mrs. Liu had just asked the old Shi family to go out to do the most important thing, and as soon as she turned around, a cold and slippery thing suddenly smashed over and hung right around her neck.
When she looked down, it was a thick snake! The unique smell of the poisonous snake, the goosebump-giving touch of the snake's body, made Mrs. Liu's whole body tremble, and she rolled her eyes and fainted before she could even scream.
With a thud, she fell to the ground, and the snake moved with it, and half of the snake happened to be on her face.
As soon as Chunyun came in, he saw this terrifying scene, and immediately screamed in horror, and the sound resounded throughout the Fuxiang Courtyard.
"Ah......h
Rao Xuekong appeared behind her ghostly and patted her on the shoulder.
Chunyun hugged his head and jumped up: "Guanyin Bodhisattva help, Bodhisattva help!" ”
"If the Bodhisattva were here, he wouldn't have saved the life of your vicious girl." Rao Xue said coldly. Chunyun helped the eldest lady do a lot of bad things.
When Chunyun heard that it was her voice, he immediately turned his head, trembling with surprise and fear, and asked, "Third Miss, Third Miss, why are you here?" ”
"Not here, where is that? Was he bitten to death by a poisonous snake? Rao Xuekong raised an eyebrow. I don't know how her hand turned, and a knife appeared in her hand, shining with a frighteningly cold metallic sheen. Seeing Chunyun's heart, he was beating a drum.
"It's not a slave, the slave just obeys orders, the third lady spares the slave!"
"If you want me to spare you, it's okay, go, report to the master, and say that a poisonous snake somehow entered Madame's room, which scared Madame stupid. Well, in this way, it is recommended that the lord send his wife to another courtyard to recuperate, and then send a snake repellent to clean up this Fuxiang courtyard. By the way, take Liu Mingru with you. ”
This time, she wants to get the eldest lady out of Liufu.
"Annex?" Chunyun was stunned.
"Don't tell me there is no other courtyard in Liufu." These rich people will always have a lot of real estate, and many of them are in the mountains or in the countryside.
"However, the other courtyards that Madame used to go to are far away from the city, and it takes several days to go back and forth...... "Madame rarely goes out, but she has been there once or twice with the master in the past few years. Asking Mrs. to leave Liufu is simply killing her. Because she didn't know what women the master would bring back when she left, and if she hadn't been here to take care of them, she didn't know if those people would have dug up the money.
Rao Xuekong interrupted Chunyun with a sneer: "Are you going?" She raised the knife in her hand: "Don't think about saying another set of things to the master." This girl will listen in the dark. As long as you don't mean it that way. Come out, I'll scratch your pretty little face! ”
Chunyun was so frightened that his face turned white, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare!" He said. She hurried out, shouting, "Come on, there is a snake in Madame's room!" ”
Rao Xuekong raised his eyebrows and jumped out of the window again.
When I arrived at the utility room of Zhuohua Courtyard and brought Lancao back to Ximo Courtyard, Lancao woke up and cried when she saw her: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Rao Xuekong stroked his cheek with one hand, damn it, how could it be okay! She's grown so big, and she's never been slapped by anyone! This time, being hurt by Liu Yunwei's idiot to bear this face that was beaten into a pig's head is simply a great shame for Rao Xuekong.
She's going to change her body, she's going to change her body!
It's really unbearable for Liu Yunwei and Liufu!
"Lancao, listen, you stayed in Ximo Courtyard for the past two days, locked the door and didn't go out, cooking and eating by yourself, did you hear?"
Lancao nervously grabbed her sleeve: "Miss, what do you want to do?" ”
Where could Rao Xuekong tell her that he was going to find the place where the dead body was lost? Where can I tell her that I really want to slip away? Miss Lancao is not her!
"I'll be fine, you don't have to ask so much, just stay here." Rao Xuekong returned to his room, changed into men's clothes, combed his hair, and found the bottle of medicine that Jin Xiaohan sent last time and painted a thin layer on his entire face. The effect of this medicine is wonderful, it feels cool when you just apply it, and it should not take long to reduce the swelling.
She packed up the things she needed again and tied a small baggage. If she can successfully change her body this time, she won't have to go back to Liufu in the future, so she must bring what she should bring.
When Rao Xuekong was doing all this, Chunyun had already found Master Liu, and after Rao Xuekong threatened her, she always suspiciously felt that Rao Xuekong was hiding in the dark and staring at her, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said what Rao Xuekong meant, Master Liu frowned: "This looks like it has been closed in recent years, what is she going to do in the other courtyard at this time?" Let's move to Drunken Wanxuan first. ”
"Madame was so frightened that she was afraid that there would be snakes everywhere in the house, so she really didn't dare to live." Chunyun said with his head down.
"Nonsense, where do so many snakes come from? It's winter, and the snakes are hiding! ”
Where does Chunyun not know that there are no snakes now? It was that poisonous snake that the eldest lady ordered a mother-in-law to raise in private, just to prepare for this kind of thing, but I didn't expect it to die all of a sudden. By the way, how did the snake die? She obviously poured something on Liu Yunwei that could attract poisonous snakes, so it stands to reason that Liu Yunwei should have been bitten to death! Could it be that Liu Yunwei killed it? It's incredible! That's impossible! Unless someone is helping her!
Thinking so, Chunyun was sure that someone must be secretly helping Liu Yunwei, since this is the case, it is more likely that someone is spying on him. In this way, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said hurriedly: "Master, the slave maid told Madame the same, but Madame said that she has been in poor health for a while, and she should go out of the house to live for a few days, and she will definitely rush back before the year." ”
Master Liu waved his hand impatiently, "Since she insists, she can go if she wants!" ”
"Madame wants to take the eldest lady with her."
"Go, go, go." As he spoke, Master Liu arranged a carriage and entourage for them. And Mrs. Liu was still in a coma, so she was packed into a carriage and left Liufu. Chunyun and Liu Mingru said that Mrs. was going to take her to another courtyard, but Liu Mingru was not unwilling, she had been a little bored in Liufu recently, plus she thought that the eldest lady had arranged someone to deal with Liu Yunwei's mother and daughter, thinking that she wanted to avoid it and clear her suspicion, so she nodded in agreement.
I just got into the carriage and saw the eldest lady lying down, and I was very puzzled.
Chunyun hurriedly said: "Madame is a little dizzy and said that she wants to sleep for a while." ”
"Oh. Then don't bother your mother. ”
Chunyun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. When the lady woke up, she could say that this was what the master meant. But when she wants to return to Liufu in the future, she will have to think of a new reason, otherwise, Madame will have to skin her.
Thinking of this, Chunyun only felt that his future was worrying, and now he could only take one step at a time.
Master Liu sent away the eldest lady, mother and daughter, and immediately walked quickly to the floating willow courtyard. It's better that Madame is gone, he can now spoil the third aunt well, coax her well, and wait for her mother's identity to be truly determined.
Rao Xuekong arrived at the Floating Willow Courtyard one step ahead of him, she lay on the wall, watching Master Liu hurriedly enter the third aunt's room, judging from his eagerness and expression, the third aunt really has a high status, in this case, Master Liu will definitely treat her well and accompany her more, plus the eldest lady and Liu Mingru will be sent to another courtyard, the third aunt will be fine recently.
Sneaking out of Liufu, she decided to buy a horse first. In this era, horses and carriages are the most haode means of transportation, and it is better to have a horse than to walk on your own.
In the horse market, Rao Xuekong picked a horse very efficiently and bargained with horse dealers. She remembered that her commander, Master, had said that you can't judge people by their appearance, but you can judge horses by their appearance. What this means is that the appearance of a horse can reflect the quality of the horse to a certain extent, and this "appearance" also includes the body structure of the horse. From the perspective of the horse's appearance, it is necessary to have the coordination of various parts of the body, so it is possible to comprehensively evaluate and select horses from all aspects of the horse's appearance.
As soon as the horse dealer saw Rao Xuekong's old way of choosing horses, he felt that this must be an insider, so he didn't dare to make an indiscriminate offer, and Zuihou sold the horse to Rao Xuekong at the best price.
Rao Xuekong led the horse away, and was proud: this girl is now a "car" family in ancient times!
She was also good at riding, and when she got on her horse, she immediately chased out of the city. According to her speculation, since the eldest lady wants to kill her, she will definitely arrange another thing, she asked Lao Shi just now, and learned that those who investigated the life history of the third aunt only roughly knew that the third aunt was indeed not the daughter of the original pair of villagers, and the neighbors had heard the villagers mention what adults in Kyoto, guessing that it was the true identity of the third aunt. Master Liu sent them to Kyoto immediately to investigate.
The eldest lady will certainly start from this aspect.
What to do? According to her thoughts, she killed those people unconsciously, and Master Liu would have been waiting for news without knowing it, and he didn't know when he would go. During this period, the eldest lady can think of a way to kill the third aunt, even if Master Liu really finds out something in the future, who will he take to recognize his relatives?
Not only did he dare not admit it, but I am afraid that he would have to bury the news alive, otherwise people would come to the door in the future and say how could his daughter die in Liufu, what should he do?
Although Rao Xuekong speculated about Mrs. Liu's Jihua, she found that Mrs. Liu's movements were faster than she expected. She followed the tracking method she learned in modern times, but she tracked it to a cliff, and the traces were completely broken. Rao Xuekong is confident that he will not find a mistake, so there is only one possibility, these people have been killed and thrown off the cliff.
The eldest lady is really ruthless.
If she is dead, she will still have a way to send the news of the third aunt to Kyoto, and she can let her family take the initiative to find her.
Rao Xuekong returned to the city and found a dart shop, and the dart she held was a little strange, that is, a few letters to the beggars in Kyoto, asking them to spread the contents, and each person could get one or two silver.
If the third aunt's family is really in Kyoto, and there is a desire to find her, and she is a family with a small identity, she will naturally be able to hear the news. This is Rao Xuekong's initiative.
"Liu Yunwei, I can only do it here for your mother and daughter." Rao Xuekong thought secretly. (To be continued......)
