Chapter 13 The Girl Who Was Sold

"It's raining!"

Mu * Wangfu Stone * Shi leaned his ears against the wall, and the fine and dense raindrops hit the wall to make a ticking sound, and he kept muttering: "I don't know where the son is now, whether he has an umbrella, whether he has eaten, whether he has ......"

"Don't worry, your son-in-law eats and drinks well and lives well."

"Thief?" Mu Shi jumped up from the ground, rushed to the door of the cell in three steps and two steps, and looked at the end of the corridor with the iron bar.

There was a sound of footsteps in the dimly lit corridor, and the mermaid lamp flickered on and off, reflecting two figures, one tall and one short.

Meng Heyu shook the wet hem of her skirt, and looked at Pei Lingxian who was collecting the umbrella next to her with a smile: "Where did you find such a loyal little guy?" It's even more Rory than my watt's Eminem. ”

Pei Ling leaned the umbrella against the corner of the wall first, lowered her head and looked at her slightly.

Even with an umbrella, the rain still wet her shoulders, and the already light fabric was soaked in water, and at the moment it was clinging tightly to her shoulders, outlining an ambiguous arc in the dim light.

"Mu Shi is a son of a family."

Meng Heyu was stunned: "What is a family child?" ”

Pei Lingxian raised her eyebrows slightly, didn't speak, put her hands in her sleeves, and walked slowly towards the cell where Mu Shi was held.

Meng Heyu flicked the hem of her clothes irritably and followed.

"Childe, are you back, are you hurt? Have you eaten enough? Where did you sleep last night? Mu Shi grabbed the iron railing, and the probe squeezed out hard, looking like a chick waiting to be fed.

The corners of Meng Heyu's mouth twitched, she was really afraid that he would burst her head.

Pei Ling first let out a salty "um", and walked to the door of the next cell under the eyes of Mu Shi looking through autumn water.

Mu Shi's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, like an abandoned little pitiful.

Meng Heyu held back a smile, feeling that even on a rainy day, her mood was not so bad.

Mu Shi was annoyed and angry, blushing and shouting: "You female thief, what are you laughing at?" ”

Meng Heyu turned around and gave him a delicate but unpretentious, arrogant and unpretentious back.

Mu Shi trembled with anger, and watched her swing to Pei Lingxian's side, and put the little fox's paw on Pei Lingxian's arm.

Pei Ling turned her head to look at her first, moved to the side without a trace, and continued to ask Cai Wei: "Is the key to the embroidery room of the Splendid Pavilion always in Cuihua's hand?" Is there anyone else who has? ”

Cai Wei shook her head: "No, the key is only available to Mrs. Cui, and later because she had to clean the embroidery room often, she gave the key to Cuihua." ”

Pei Ling glanced at Cuihua first, and found that she was squatting in the corner at the other end of the cell, her head bowed, her hands tightly twisted in front of her chest, and she muttered from time to time: "Dead, dead, Mrs. Cui is dead, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!" ”

"Has she always been like this?"

Cai Wei nodded with a pale face: "Cuihua has a deep relationship with Mrs. Cui, and Madame treats her very well, probably because she can't accept Madame's death to become like this." ”

"When did Cuihua serve Mrs. Cui?"

Cai Wei lowered her head slightly, and said curtly: "Cuihua is the little maid that Mrs. Cui bought from Renyazi. After Mrs. Cui came to Yizhou, the housekeeper assigned me to serve Mrs. in the Splendid Pavilion, and later Mrs. went to Renyazi to buy two little maids, saying that she planned to train them to be some embroidery girls. Because I'm getting older, and I'm about to get married, Madame doesn't let me do too much of a buddy. ”

Meng Heyu suddenly came over: "You said that Mrs. bought two little maids, so why didn't I see coming with you!" ”

Cai Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Because, because Cuifang had an accident and was betrayed by the master." ”

"Selling?" Meng Heyu turned her head to look at Pei Lingxian, feeling something flash in her mind, "Why was she sold?" ”

"She stole her wife's jewelry and secretly sold it, and after she was caught, the adults wanted to kill her with a rod, but the lady was kind-hearted, so she only let people sell her again."

————

Heavy rain washed over the roof, and in a huge mansion in Yikang Fang, the master and servant stood by the window.

In the early years, this house was the mansion of a rice merchant in Yizhou, but later the rice merchant moved to Kyoto with his family, and it became vacant. Three days ago, a young man from Watt bought it and was extremely generous.

"Childe, the person who just went out has found the whereabouts of the princess." A pupil stole a glance at Kule's side face and said cautiously.

Kule was overjoyed and turned his head to look at him: "Where is she?" ”

A Tongbu frowned, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Kule's brows gradually lowered: "Say." ”

A Tongbu gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "The princess is now with a man named Pei Lingxian, and she has always claimed to be Pei Lingxian's cousin, and the two of them seem to be involved in the case of the murder of Jiang Tianbai's concubine." Not long ago, Zheng Dabao, the assassin of Yizhou, led people to surround the entrance of the yamen and asked the county order to hand over the people. ”

"What?" Kule said angrily, "They are so big that they dare to catch her?" You take your things now, and we'll go to the Yamen. As he spoke, he raised his leg and walked out.

A Tongbu grabbed his arm: "Childe, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

Kule turned his head to look at him, and Ah Tongbu smiled dryly: "Actually, the princess is not in prison, she ran away with that Pei Ling first." ”

"Ran away?"

"Yes, I ran away."

Kule's tense emotions relaxed, and he glanced at him: "If you pant again next time, I will cut out your tongue and feed it to the wolf." ”

A Tongbu hurriedly covered his mouth: "I don't dare anymore." ”

Kurer snorted and turned around to head into the inner room. A Tongbu put down his hand, looked at the drizzling sky, and hurriedly chased after him: "That son, what should we do now?" ”

"Go and find out where that Pei Lingxian came from?"

"It's been checked." A Tongbu hurriedly took out a thumb-thick bamboo tube from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him.

Kule opened the bamboo tube and took out a piece of paper from it and opened it.

After a long time, Kule put away the paper again: "I didn't expect it to be him!" ”

A Tongbu blinked, and took the bamboo tube suspiciously: "Childe, who is it?" ”

Ku Le turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Pei Yan's nephew, Pei Lingxian." ”

"Huh? The eleven-year-old Pei Lingxian, who worshiped the servant? Oh, I remember, he was originally confronted by Emperor Taizong for Pei Yan's case of being framed for rebellion by Wei Sanchi, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Shenwu, and was later sent to Yizhou, but I didn't expect it to be him, how could he be with the princess? It can't be some conspiracy, right? Hitomi asked worriedly.

Kule restrained his smile: "Regardless of whether he has any conspiracy or not, I can't let Rolling Roll stay by his side." ”

————

The rain became heavier and heavier, and in the midst of the storm, a black horse rushed out of the Yizhou Mansion Prison like a gallop and went straight to Yikangfang.

Meng Heyu held an umbrella, looked at the wood and stone that gradually disappeared from sight through the rain curtain, and asked curiously for a while: "Will the murderer be the maid who was sold?" ”

The rain wet Pei Lingxian's hair, he put his hands in his sleeves, looked up at the sky slightly, and said calmly for a long time: "Who knows!" ”

He walked slowly into the rain and toward the carriage parked by the wall.

Meng Heyu hurriedly followed, standing on tiptoe and lifting the umbrella above his head: "Then where are we going now?" ”

"Back to the photo gallery."

"Where's the photo gallery?" She looked up at Pei Lingxian suspiciously, how could she not know that there was such a place?

Pei Lingxian was slightly stunned, and her thin lips suddenly overflowed with a smile. Meng Heyu looked inexplicable, always feeling as if she had missed something.

Pei Lingxian suddenly stretched out her hand and gently flicked off a fallen leaf on her shoulder: "Go home." ”

When she returned to the photo gallery, Meng Heyu deliberately looked up at the plaque on the lintel, and the two big characters 'photo gallery' painted on a red background and black paint were particularly eye-catching.

Entering the hall, Meng Heyu shook off the water droplets on her body, put away her umbrella, and turned her head to look at Pei Lingxian with a curious expression, "So, you are looking at people and feng shui?" That is, the god stick? ”

Pei Ling lowered her head first and looked at her with burning eyes.

Meng Heyu was furious by him, touched the tip of her nose and took two steps back: "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Pei Ling let out a sigh of relief and said lightly: "Are you hungry?" ”

Meng Heyu was stunned for a moment, reached out and touched her belly: "I want to eat chaos." ”
