Chapter 91: Trouble
Mei Niang retracted her gaze, turned her head and saw the kneeling person on the ground, and scolded with a sharp look, "What's going on!" actually played these little cleverness under the nose of this concubine, and I don't want my head anymore! ”
The bookkeeper begged for mercy again and again, but Mei Niang ignored them and walked in directly.
In the middle of the night, the sporadic rain outside the house was dripping on the ground, Su Zhenzhen lay on the bed and did not sleep, August was also sent back by her to rest, in the afternoon they planted all the seeds to come back together and were tired enough, Su Zhenzhen did not let them guard themselves anymore. Unlike the noise of the day, the courtyard was silent again.
After she went to the account room during the day to make a big fuss, those people didn't dare to mess around anymore, and they all knew that this master was not easy to mess with. All the standards of living have returned to their original state, and they are even more attentive than before.
I don't know how long such a peaceful day can last, it seems that everything is normal and calm now, but Su Zhenzhen knows that there must be a bigger conspiracy brewing in this, the mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, even if she is very flustered in her heart, what can she do, she is like duckweed here.
Distraught, she got out of bed, walked to the cupboard, found her bag, and dug out what she had brought. These things were the only ones that could prove where she came from, so Su Zhenzhen cherished them and almost never used them.
"Looking at the clouds and covering my eyes, I feel homesick and raindrops." At this moment, Su Zhenzhen can really understand the meaning of this sentence, she is really homesick, even if she doesn't have a home in that place. Su Zhenzhen looked for a piece of paper, and Wei Han's appearance suddenly appeared in her mind, so she simply drew it according to the picture in her heart. She has been obsessed with painting since she was a child, but her conditions are limited, so she can only teach herself.
After painting that painting, Su Zhenzhen felt that there was no one who was expressive, and when she thought that she might not know what to happen to her in a few days, she couldn't help but feel sad and began to write letters. If you really die here, or if you can't go back home after being framed, then these words should be to thank him for taking care of him these days.
When everything was done, Su Zhenzhen put her things in her bag, and then put them on the top of the wardrobe and blocked them with flower pots, and she was almost sleepy after doing this, so she climbed into bed. As soon as I fell asleep, I heard a lot of noise outside, and soon the door of the courtyard was smashed, and there were many men's voices.
"What's the matter?" August put on his clothes and yawned and hurried to open the door, and then saw several men in the house standing at the door with torches and unkind faces.
"What's the matter at such a late hour?" She asked depressedly.
"Has the side princess already slept? That's right, a man suddenly appeared on Mrs. Cheng's side and ran away after stealing something. Let's take a look.
A man stood up politely, but he kept squeezing forward to get in.
"Don't crowd, how can you run on our side, look at these guards, did he fly in?" August scolded unhappily, pointed to the guards standing upright outside, and became even more depressed, "What's more, we really haven't seen any men." ”
"Please also ask Miss August to be accommodating and let us go in and check, because this is a matter of safety and interests of the masters......"
"Our master is asleep, what should you do if you wake her up like this?" August was unhappily blocked at the door, and everyone else woke up one after another.
There was a lot of noise outside, Su Zhenzhen opened the door and walked out to see this scene of wind and fire, "What's so noisy in August." ”
August reluctantly told Su Zhenzhen what happened, but Su Zhenzhen didn't feel that there was anything wrong with coming in to search, but she felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.
"Let them in, except for the concubine's bedroom, take them all to check." Su Zhenzhen said.
But the man didn't seem to be satisfied, so he strode in with a person and said, "No, princess, I'm afraid your room needs ...... too."
Su Zhenzhen turned to look at him, "What do you need?" Search, the concubine has already fallen asleep, I don't know if the room is entered? Are you afraid that if the concubine can't make it possible, the master's room will come in and turn it upside down? ”
The man's eyes dodged, "The minion doesn't dare." ”
"What else don't you dare, I think this mansion is getting more and more intolerant of me." Su Zhenzhen snorted coldly and slammed the door shut, and August let those people into the courtyard to search for them, and finally left with nothing.
The courtyard was quiet again, but Su Zhenzhen's heart couldn't be quiet again. Even if she fell asleep recently, she had nightmares several times, nothing more than being framed and something.
She knew very well in her heart that those people would not let her go so easily, especially Mrs. Cheng. But at the same time, she is in a completely passive position, and she is powerless to fight back.
Su Zhenzhen sighed, who made her come here for no reason.
On the other side, Wei Han was finally about to arrive at the place after a few days of traveling and driving, but he didn't plan to enter the city tonight, but went outside to explore the situation first.
Along the way, he saw many refugees and had a general idea of the situation in this place. The situation here is worse than he thought, and he hopes to solve it as soon as possible and go home early.
Unconsciously, Wei Han felt sleepy again, and after riding a horse for several days in a row, his body had been in a state of tension and barely rested. He took out the things that Su Zhenzhen gave him and smeared them on his hands, and cherished them on the tip of his nose to feel the cool breath.
Seeing this, the secret guard who had been hiding in the shadows couldn't help but get closer and wanted to share the coolness, and I don't know where the princess got this thing, it's petite and easy to use.
Feeling the breath of the others, the dagger in Wei Han's hand flew out quickly, and the secret guards fled one after another, secretly sighing that the prince was too domineering.
Su Zhenzhen sat down, looking at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze, dressed in ancient costumes, painting different makeup from modern times, and all the backgrounds behind her and the places where she lived were completely different.
It's been almost three months since I've been here. Before she knew it, it had been all these days, and at first she wanted to leave, but now she was almost numb, because it was impossible. If you have a life to live, you want to live a plain life, if not, you can't...... So what's the solution?
"Princess, let's go." August whispered a reminder as she inserted the last hairpin into her hair.
Su Zhenzhen came back to her senses, nodded, stood up, and left with a few guards. Wherever she went, she had to take several guards with her, mainly to protect her safety. She is not afraid of being told that she is afraid of death, but she is afraid of dying for no reason.
Along the way, she met a few concubines intermittently, and Su Zhenzhen had no intention of having a deep friendship with them, but just exchanged a few words of greeting and walked forward together. Mei Niang suddenly asked them to go to a meeting, and everyone vaguely knew something in their hearts.
Recently, people in the palace have been losing things almost every day, sometimes gold, silver and jewelry, sometimes they are worthless things in a certain courtyard, and most seriously, I have heard of which concubine's underwear is lost.
Su Zhenzhen has been uneasy these days, for fear that this ancestor will come to her side to give her some charges. What if it's a flower thief......
"Master, here we are." August saw that Su Zhenzhen was in a daze again, and secretly poked her sleeve.
Walking into Mei Niang's courtyard, a few of them had already arrived, Mrs. Cheng sat next to Mei Niang, the two sisters leaned together intimately and laughed, and the others also echoed, but the moment Su Zhenzhen stepped into the door, the atmosphere became delicate, and everyone immediately stopped talking.
Su Zhenzhen didn't care about their isolation, and found a back seat to sit down.
After a little more waiting, everyone arrived. Mei Niang asked people to close the door, and then she began to get down to business.
"I think all the sisters have heard about it recently, this little thief who doesn't know where he came from, stealing this today and stealing that tomorrow makes everyone panic. But we women can't help much, and today I'm looking for you because I'm not worried about the safety of your sisters, and I want to tell you. ”
"Now that five sisters have lost their things, I hope everyone has been cautious lately and don't stay alone outside at night. In addition, let the subordinates take care of the yard, and when they encounter suspicious people, they will tell me that I have also strengthened my precautions, and the housekeeper has arranged for many people to patrol......"
What do you think is a big deal, what is the difference between this and the head teacher's ideological education conference, Su Zhenzhen, who was sitting in the corner, secretly yawned, and then looked at others with a panicked and cautious look.
"August, hand me a piece of pastry." Su Zhenzhen secretly touched the person behind her, and pointed to the pastry on the table next to her with her chin. August was embarrassed, so anxious that she was about to cry, and she didn't know what the princess thought, how could she eat with so many people.
August pushed her hand away, and Su Zhenzhen unrelentingly pulled her clothes and begged.
"Sister Su, you are still very safe there, in addition to the guards arranged for you by the prince, do you still have a good way to defend yourself?" Mei Niang suddenly called names, so frightened that Su Zhenzhen immediately stood up, but her head was clouded, like a primary school student named by a teacher.
"May I ask you if you have a good way to defend yourself?" Mei Niang repeated with a smile, but the others thought that Su Zhenzhen was playing tricks, and they were all unhappy.
Su Zhenzhen thought for a while and reluctantly replied, "You can put a water cup on the door bolt before going to bed at night, so that someone can hear the water cup falling to the ground when someone comes in." Or go to the kitchen and get some chili water and feel someone splash it. ”
The others all looked surprised when they heard her idea, how else could they do this?
"To protect oneself, money is something outside the body, if people are gone, what do you want money for." She said bluntly, but Mei Niang smiled and applauded her.
After a long time, I talked about something and didn't have it, and I didn't come up with a solution and it almost became a tea party. Su Zhenzhen listened to the sleepiness again and again, and immediately made an excuse to leave as soon as it was over.
When everyone left, Mei Niang's smile disappeared, and she looked out the door thoughtfully.
"Master, everything has been lost in all courtyards, and now only we and the side concubine have not lost it, isn't it ...... among them?" a maid walked beside her and proposed.
Idiot! Mei Niang glanced at her, "Do you think the side princess will be so stupid?" What you can think of is unthinkable to others, and it specially directs the spearhead to yourself. ”
The maid lowered her head and left, but Mei Niang smiled.
This thing was not done by Su Zhenzhen, but someone must have deliberately framed her. It's inseparable from her. I just don't know when the main messenger behind this scene will do it. This person has been laying out for so long, and he is really patient.
She can't wait for this big drama again. There are still six days to go outside to pray for blessings, but I am afraid that there will be a storm in a few days.
Su Zhenzhen returned to the yard and deliberately pushed August out to find something, she quickly rummaged through the dresser, and finally picked up a shiny golden object and smashed it the ground, stuffing it into her bag.
Hopefully, this will help her avoid this, she prayed silently in her heart.
After walking for nearly eight days, Wei Han finally arrived in Yangcheng, which was the purpose of his visit this time, to rectify corrupt officials and recover the silver taels. From the outside, the city wall seems to block everything is no different, just an ordinary town, but he has heard a report that this ordinary town is not ordinary, that is, there is a city in this city that is specially made for the Earth Emperor.
