Chapter 421: The Lost Eighth Prince
Yuan Xu's tent.
Ma Fei and Yuan Kang sat in the tent with very solemn expressions.
On the contrary to them, Yuan Xu was full of disapproval, and mentioned the tea boiled in the copper furnace and said: "The tea you brought is old tea, and the taste is not refreshing. ”
"Some people are eyeing each other, but Childe doesn't care, and he really can't figure it out." Ma Fei said: "If this woman is not removed, I am afraid that the safety of the son will be worried." ”
"You can't beat her?" Yuan Xu asked.
"Don't hide it from the child, someone who is not her opponent!"
"General Ma's swordsmanship is exquisite, but he is not this female opponent?" Yuan Kang said: "It's better to be cautious!" ”
"If she had taken my life, she would have done it." Yuan Xu said: "Although this woman is exquisite in swordsmanship, she has a shortcoming that she may not have discovered herself. ”
"What?" Ma Fei and Yuan Kang asked in unison.
"Too arrogant." Yuan Xu said: "She wants to kill someone with her own hands, and she refuses to take advantage of others." Who are the assassins in the world? ”
"Childe is ......," Ma Fei frowned.
"She's not an assassin but a swordsman, she just can't figure out when she offended such a woman."
Ma Fei and Yuan Kang also couldn't understand that Yuan Xu didn't like to mess with flowers like other princes.
It is not very likely that he will offend the woman.
The woman who wanted to kill him seemed to have a deep grudge against him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed him with his own hands, and someone even stopped him from doing it!
Who is she? What happened between him and Yuan Xu?
They couldn't figure it out for a while.
Pouring tea into the tea bowl, Yuan Xu said: "Don't think too much, there are countless people who want to kill someone." Isn't a good life? ”
"This woman is different...... "Ma Fei is still not at ease.
"It's no different, drink tea!" Pick up the tea bowl. Yuan Xu greeted Ma Fei and Yuan Kang.
Yuan Xu is still in the middle of the road, and the Yuan family in Yecheng is ......
Dong Qing undertook the preparation of the comprador for the big wedding. But it was conscientious and unambiguous.
Not only are the accounts clear, but she will report to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang every day.
A few days passed, and Mrs. Zhang was a little less wary of her.
On this day, Dong Qing purchased some brocade and silk wool.
Presenting the accounts to Mrs. Liu, she led the two maids to Mrs. Zhang's residence.
Looking through the accounts, Mrs. Zhang said: "Xiansi is not in Yecheng, and the procurement has been put down. It's been a hard time for you. ”
"It's already a blessing for a concubine to be praised by Mrs., how dare you say it's hard." Dong Qing said: "Madame, can you still see the accounts clearly? ”
"The daughter of a merchant family is clear when she makes accounts. It's more neat than the people in the house. ”
"The eldest son once purchased some Jiangdong silk, and it is indeed enough to buy clothes and accessories, but it is not appropriate to embroider the brocade quilt." Dong Qing said: "The procurement of concubines is silk from places adjacent to Jiangdong, and the silk quality is more delicate, but the embroidery is slightly worse. ”
"Bother!" Mrs. Zhang said: "When Xianxin returns, I will definitely thank you." ”
"It's all my own family, and my wife doesn't have to be like this." Dong Qing said humbly: "I procure what the fifth prince needs for the wedding, and it is also in love!" ”
Smiling slightly, Mrs. Zhang nodded.
"Madame!" The two of them were talking. A maid burst in and cried out in despair, "Oh no! ”
"What's wrong?" The maid has never been like this, Mrs. Zhang's face changed and asked.
"Eighth Prince...... The eighth prince is gone! The maid shouted in panic: "Fang is still there, and he will disappear in a blink of an eye!" ”
Mrs. Zhang was stunned. stood up suddenly: "Did you take him out?" ”
"I didn't go out." The maid said, "I only play in the back garden, and a few maids are gone in a blink of an eye!" ”
Ignoring Dong Qing, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly ran out.
Get up one step later. The corners of Dong Qing's mouth hooked up a light smile, and she also followed out of the door.
"Find!" Stand in the doorway. Mrs. Zhang panicked and instructed the maid: "If you haven't gone out, you shouldn't have gone far." ”
Yuan Mai suddenly disappeared. Mrs. Zhang's residence was suddenly in chaos.
searched up and down, and Mrs. Zhang's nervous heart was pinched in one place.
Standing behind her, Dong Qing whispered with relief: "The eighth prince will not go far when he is young, I am afraid that he will get into a flower bush or rockery somewhere, and he may come out later." ”
Mrs. Zhang was silent.
If it weren't for Dong Qing talking in the house all the time, Mrs. Zhang would be the first to suspect her.
Yuan Mai disappeared in the backyard, and Dong Qing didn't go there, even if he was suspicious, there was no reason.
Half an hour later, Yuan Mai was not found anywhere, and Mrs. Zhang was completely confused.
After getting the news, Mrs. Liu, Zhen Mi's mother and daughter and others came one after another.
Other Yuan Shao's concubines also came to visit.
In Mrs. Zhang's residence, there are three maidservants kneeling side by side in the front yard.
They trembled and were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.
When Yuan Mai disappeared, it was a few servants who were guarding on the side.
Glaring at them angrily, Mrs. Liu, who had just arrived here, asked, "You wait to take care of the eighth prince, don't say where the people are going!" ”
The three maidservants shuddered, but did not respond.
They just disappeared Yuan Mai after a fork, where do they know where the people have gone.
"Have you seen anyone else?" Not completely losing her mind, Mrs. Zhang forced her mind to ask them with concern in her heart.
"There are only the servants and the eighth prince in the back garden, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye." One of the maidservants trembled and said, "The servant deserves to die, please ask the lady to condemn the crime!" ”
Almost lying on the ground, the three handmaidens trembled like chaff.
"Condemnation?" Mrs. Liu snorted coldly: "Of course it's to be punished!" Come on, drag these three out and beat them to death! ”
When several servant women heard this, they stepped forward and pulled them out by the hair and lifted their hands and feet.
"Madame, spare your life! Madame spare her life! Dragged by the servants, the three maidservants begged for mercy without stopping.
"Let them go." Yuan Mai disappeared, Mrs. Zhang only felt that her eyes were black, and she was almost about to faint, she ordered the servants: "Lock them up, if the eighth prince is gone, they will be dealt with!" ”
"What do you keep them doing with such cheap women?" Mrs. Liu didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and said to several servants: "Drag it out, beat it to death with a stick!" ”
After all, Mrs. Liu is the main room, and her attitude is resolute, and the servant woman can only obey.
The three maidservants were dragged out, and it didn't take long for everyone to hear a terrible howl outside.
The howl is getting lower and lower, and there should be a servant girl who can't bear it and has been killed.
Yuan Mai can't be found, and Mrs. Zhang is always holding on.
It was only then that her eyes went dark and she fainted.
Dong Qing and Zhen Mi, who were standing behind her, hurriedly supported her.
A group of women carried Mrs. Zhang into the house with all hands and feet.
Before Dong Qing entered the house, he didn't forget to shout to the maid in the courtyard: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you look for it? ”
was already out of order, and when they heard Dong Qing shouting, all the maids ran away.
Mrs. Zhang's residence was a mess, full of voices calling for Yuan Mai and maids and servants passing by. (To be continued.) )
