Chapter 212: A weak cousin
Twisting the veil, Du Yuwei looked at Rong Xi, but smiled softly.
"Niangniang, you are really strange, even if Yurao bought this jade bracelet, what can it mean, she took so many rewards from the county lord, maybe she wanted to buy a jade bracelet to wear, but she saw the jade bracelet you donated, and she was tempted to think about it."
She shot back that she would never admit her fault because of this little thing.
"Really? Then call Yurao to confront each other and see what is going on! ”
Rong Xi took out the momentum of the queen mother, and when she gave an order, Du Yuwei glanced at her resentfully, secretly anxious in her heart.
"Help! Help~"
At this time, someone in the palace alley was running, shouting and calling for help.
Everyone in the side hall turned around, Mu Guichen glanced at the palace maid in the palace who asked for help in the palace alley, he got up and came to the palace alley, but only saw the palace maid alone, her hair was messy, and there were many scars on her body, obviously she had been chased and killed.
The moment Du Yuwei saw the palace maid, her face turned pale.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang! Save the slaves! ”
Rong Xi got up and came to Mu Guichen's side, only to see that the palace maid was full of scars, but she was so bold in the palace, she really didn't take them to heart at all.
"Get up, what the hell happened, why are you scarred?"
Helping the palace maid up, Rong Xi glanced at the palace alley, thinking that this palace maid was smart, knowing that she was running this way, the movement was too big, and after finding that someone had come out, the person who was chasing her had no choice but to stop and hide.
"Help...... Too...... The Queen Mother, someone chased and killed the slave maid. ”
The palace maid cried, her voice was intermittent, and she couldn't hear what she was saying clearly, so Rong Xi had to help the palace maid up and let her go and sit on the side first.
When she relented, she asked softly, "Someone is chasing you." ”
The palace maid nodded lightly, her eyes were red, obviously she didn't react, she bit her lip lightly, and looked at Rong Xi aggrievedly.
In the palace for such a long time, she has been conscientious and has never done anything unfortunate, but today she was suddenly hunted down and killed, how can she not be wronged.
"Don't cry, what's your name?"
glanced at Du Yuwei, only to see that her face had lost the confidence she had just now, and Rong Xi also had doubts about the identity of the palace maid in front of her.
Could it be that this palace maid is Yurao?
"The slave's name is Yurao, and she brings food to the county lord."
Yurao said softly, glanced at Du Yuwei on the side, and saw that something was not quite right, there were so many people in the side hall.
"Yurao!"
Lu Qi exclaimed, what a coincidence, they just said that they were going to confront Yurao, but now they saw Yurao coming.
"You're Yurao?"
Raising his eyebrows, Rong Xi knew a little in his heart.
"Yes." Yurao bowed her head slightly.
"It just so happens that the mourning family has some questions for you, so you can answer them."
Turning around and slowly walking back to the main seat, Rong Xi looked at the people below condescendingly, and the aura was so overwhelming at that moment that everyone didn't dare to snort.
Yurao looked at this scene in a daze, puzzled, waiting for Rong Xi to ask.
"What jewelry did you pawn for the county lord, or what jewelry did you buy for the county lord?" While watching Du Yuwei's reaction, Rong Xi asked leisurely.
Yurao glanced at Du Yuwei, only to see that she had been staring at Yurao, her eyes full of threats.
seemed to understand Du Yuwei's eyes, Yurao thought of the killer who chased her, who was so bold in the palace, he must be noble, so he could be desperate.
She has never done anything for the rest, except for Du Yuwei. Now that Rong Xi is asking like this again, then everything is already clear.
"It's hard to ......"
Looking at Du Yuwei in a daze, Yurao couldn't figure out why Du Yuwei wanted to be so cruel to her.
"Yurao! Niangniang is asking you, what are you doing, what are you doing, answer quickly! ”
The anxious Lu Qi couldn't help but stand up and urge, Yurao was startled by her voice, looked at Rong Xi, silently read Rong Xi's question, and bowed her head slightly.
"Yes."
As soon as these words came out, it proved that what Du Yuwei said just now was a lie.
The killer who chased and killed Yurao was sent out by Du Yuwei, who wanted to destroy all the evidence of the crime, but he never thought that he didn't kill Yurao, and let Yurao escape and talk nonsense.
"You're lying! Why did the lord of the county let you pawn things, and why did he let you buy jewelry for the lord of the county? ”
In a hurry, Du Yuwei didn't care about the dignity of the county lord, rushed to Yurao's face, didn't save a little face, and slapped her hard.
Yurao was beaten aggrieved, covered her cheeks, and looked at her: "County Lord! The slave also wondered why you pawned such a good jewelry at that time and changed it to a jade bracelet with rough workmanship, just when you were on a whim, you didn't dare to ask more, and now, the slave and maid can't even say a word of truth? ”
She choked with Du Yuwei loudly, and when she learned that it was a killer sent by Du Yuwei, she would not be polite to Du Yuwei.
In this palace, she has never done a single thing against her will, including now.
"You!"
raised her hand again, Du Yuwei was about to hurt her again, but was stopped by the guards on the side.
"Lord Wang!"
Looking at the regent with a side face, Du Yuwei was very surprised that he actually stopped her.
"This is the Imperial Palace, not your Du Mansion."
Said lazily, Mu Guichen raised his hand, and the guard let go of Du Yuwei's arm and took a few steps back, so that people couldn't find fault with it.
Besides, his master is Mu Guichen, who dares to have an opinion.
"Cousin......"
A weak voice came from behind him, and the moment Rong Xi heard the name, he turned around suddenly.
Qian Yu helped Song Qiuning and walked out, and her whole body fell weakly into Qian Yu's arms, as if she was very weak.
"Tyunin!"
Seeing this scene, Du Yuwei collapsed to the ground. She's done!
stepped forward to check Song Qiuning, and saw that she was fine, Rong Xi breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't guess Du Yuwei wrong, in order to deal with her, Du Yuwei really put a lot of thought into it.
"What's wrong with you, tell your cousin?"
She asked with concern, Song Qiuning's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked weak, she was afraid that Du Yuwei had given her some medicine.
was asked so concernedly, Song Qiuning's heart was very moved.
She was stunned for a whole day and a night, and as soon as she woke up, she was stunned by the fragrance again, she originally wanted to report the news to Rong Xi, but she couldn't get out.
"Du Yuwei, what else do you have to say now?"
