Chapter 320: Compassion
I only heard a "meow", a cat jumped past him, the masked man breathed a sigh of relief, he held his breath, jumped over, and jumped onto the roof, and Qin Chenxi heard the cat's meow, and also breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a cat!
It scared the baby to death, and she thought that someone had come to peek at her bath or kill her!
Also, this is the General's Mansion after all, even if she is the eldest lady who is not favored, this courtyard should be safe, and the source of the insecurity here should be the second lady Li and the second lady Cheng Yun.
And what these two people will do should be poisoning or something, doing something unknowing, and sending someone to kill her and directly kill her such a stupid thing, they shouldn't be so stupid.
Qing'er heard the sound and also checked outside, but found no suspicious characters, so she ordered the guards in the house to guard the courtyard and not let people get close to the courtyard of the eldest lady.
Qin Chenxi settled down to take a medicinal bath, after soaking, she felt that her body seemed to be much more relaxed, she reached out and touched it, her skin was really much better than the original, I believe that as long as she insists on taking a medicinal bath every day and persists, this poison will definitely be solved, and she will definitely be able to restore Cheng Xi's beauty.
She put on a dress, her face was not veiled, and she walked back to her room, the masked man on the roof, finally saw Miss Cheng's true face, it seems that what the kid said is not wrong at all, Miss Cheng is really disfigured, the little red bumps on her face are really dense, covering the whole face, it's a pity for a beauty.
It's just, is this incurable? Why didn't his cousin think that Miss Cheng's face could be cured? In such a hurry to get out of the marriage? Didn't he wake up and not only offend General Cheng by doing this, but also fall into the hands of others? Or is there something else going on here?
The masked man was on the roof, thinking about the conversation between Miss Cheng and the maid just now, presumably there must be some problems with the second lady and the second lady in this house. On the roof, he could see the various courtyards of the General's Mansion clearly, and the courtyard with the most servants and the most lively should be the courtyard of the second lady.
The masked man didn't know what was going on with him, he had always adhered to the principle that more things were better than less, why was he so curious tonight, as if some magical power was guiding him to find out.
The masked man glanced at the guards in the General's Mansion, he had been on the roof for so long, and they didn't even notice it, it seemed that it was all some waste, and the security work of the General's Mansion was simply useless, which was really worrying.
With a slight jump, the masked man landed steadily on the roof of the second lady's courtyard, his hearing was excellent, he heard someone talking in the house, but it was a little far away, he couldn't hear clearly, he glanced around, and fell to the back of the courtyard, he stood outside the window, his fingers lightly, and pierced the window paper.
I only saw a young woman in the room wearing a brocade dress, and I don't know how many times better this dress was than the clothes of Miss Cheng I saw in the morning.
The woman looked good, she stood in front of another woman who was also well-dressed, and said: "Mother, just now the person I planted in the slut's yard came to report, saying that the slut let Qing'er get a lot of medicinal powder, I don't know what to do, and said that the slut had just taken a bath, she entered the bathroom, smelled a very strong smell of medicine, I don't know what the slut is doing in the bathroom?" ”
"Smell of medicine in the bathroom? What's going on? Aren't those powders meant to be eaten? The second lady said in surprise.
"I don't know, mother, the man didn't see what the slut was doing in the bathroom, she said that Qing'er let a lot of people guard in the yard tonight, and she couldn't go in, only Qing'er could go in." The second lady said unhappily.
The second lady frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that the slut is suspicious of the other people in her yard, and now she only trusts Qing'er, do you see if there is any way to make Qing'er use us?" ”
"Qing'er's cheap maid has always been loyal to that slut, and her mother is the maid of the slut's mother, and now she is no longer alive, she has no weakness, and she has no handle in our hands, I'm afraid it is not easy to buy. I'm afraid that if we go and buy her, she'll suspect that we've bought off the rest of the people in their yard, and that person won't be able to keep an eye on the slut for us. The second lady said analytically.
The masked man listened to their conversation, sneered secretly in his heart, and thought: This mother and daughter are really not stupid at all, in order to get rid of the original daughter, they actually made so many moves!
Originally, I thought that it was only in the palace that there was open and secret fighting, but I didn't expect that there was also in General Cheng's mansion, and I couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Miss Cheng, such a kind woman, actually had such a vicious stepmother!
Just as the masked man wanted to leave, he heard the second lady say: "Since we can't let Qing'er be used by us, then find a way to separate the relationship between her and the slut, as long as the slut no longer trusts Qing'er, then she will be alone, let her have three heads and six arms, and she can't fight us." ”
"Yes, mother, that slut's mother couldn't fight you back then, and now that slut can't fight you either, you know, I can help you now!" The second lady's eyes widened, and a vicious light shot out of her eyes, and her face, which was originally as beautiful as a flower, became a little hideous.
The masked man was a little surprised, this woman looked like she was only in her teens, how could she show such a vicious look, wasn't she Miss Cheng's sister? What is it that makes her hate her sister so much? Is it just because they weren't born to the same mother?
"It's a big deal that she didn't die this time! It's also bad for us. Yun'er, that slut is different from her dead ghost mother, back then her dead ghost mother was stupid and treated me as a confidant, so that I could let her die clean without knowing it, but now, we can't arrange a personal maid to be by her side. The second lady's brows tightened, and she said helplessly.
"Mother, that slut used to have a good relationship with her daughter, didn't her daughter always give her own things? I'll go see her tomorrow, talk to her, and figure it out. The second lady said.
"Just go and see her, don't act rashly, that slut is your father's beloved daughter after all, if she dies, your father will definitely investigate to the end, so we can't let her die in our hands, she must die in someone else's hands." The second lady said with a fierce look in her eyes.
"I know, mother, we have to borrow a knife to kill people, she wants to die in the hands of others, so my father will not blame my mother for not protecting that slut." The second lady said with a smile.
Hearing this, the masked man couldn't help but be a little worried about Miss Cheng, could she deal with this fierce and cunning mother and daughter alone? How can I help Miss Cheng?
The masked man shook his head, frightened by what he had just thought, he had just returned to the capital for a few days, and he had not done a lot of things yet, and he actually wanted to help this woman who he only met today, he felt that his idea was a little ridiculous.
He thinks he's not a good person, and he's not nosy, but why is he so abnormal today?
Is it because Miss Cheng's kindness touched him and made him become kind?
He quietly returned to Miss Cheng's courtyard, looked in from the window, and it happened that the woman with a face covered with small red bumps was facing the bronze mirror and pricked a needle in her face, and after a while, a face became like a hedgehog, and it looked even more terrifying.
When he saw this scene, he finally found an excuse for his abnormal behavior, that is, he took a fancy to her medical skills, maybe Miss Cheng could find a way to solve the poison on his body! Yes, it must be like this, he can't just feel compassion for a woman casually, and the only explanation is that he wants to take advantage of her!
Thinking so, the masked man seemed to be relieved, and left Miss Cheng's courtyard.
Back to where he lived, he received a letter sent to him by the ninth brother, he opened the envelope, read the letter, and looked out the window, if the ninth brother found out that the thing was true, then this Miss Cheng really lives in the tiger's den in Longtan!
The prince of the Protector's Mansion, that is, his cousin, is really stupid, is his cousin blind? actually fell in love with such a vicious woman as Miss Cheng Er, and almost became an accomplice to the vicious mother and daughter.
He didn't dare to imagine that if Miss Cheng died because of her cousin's divorce, if General Cheng sued the emperor, even if the protector had to protect his son, it would probably not be easy, right?
Thinking of the conversation between the mother and daughter overheard in the courtyard of the second lady, if you don't believe what the ninth brother said in the letter, what can't the vicious mother and daughter do?
Maybe Miss Cheng Er used some extraordinary means to make the prince of the protector of the country willing to be at her mercy!
Thinking about it this way, it can be regarded as a miracle that Miss Cheng has survived until now, maybe it is because she is kind, God has eyes, and she is unwilling to accept her!
He thought of himself, didn't he have the same illness as Miss Cheng?
His identity was originally extremely noble, but his mother was also killed by a traitor and died unjustly, and he was gradually forgotten because he was weak and sick since he was a child.
Clearing his mother's grievances, taking revenge, and making those who killed his mother pay the price, this is the only belief and motivation for him to survive strongly after his mother's death.
Over the years, he left the capital under the pretext of curing his illness, stayed away from the ruthless and unrighteous negative man who killed his mother, followed his master to practice martial arts, and secretly developed his own power, just so that one day he could kill all the people who killed his mother.
General Cheng wielded military power, but he was an upright man and loyal to the unscrupulous man, but if he saved his daughter, maybe he could use it for himself.
The masked man secretly made up his mind that he must protect Miss Cheng thoroughly, just to make his road to revenge smoother!
