Chapter Seventy-Four: Let's Go and Elope
The little maid bit her lip and didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear of annoying her master.
Wei Yun couldn't bear it after looking at it twice, sighed and said to Mingyue: "She just entered the Wei Mansion, right?" ”
Mingyue didn't speak, kneeling on the ground with her head down, unable to see her expression clearly.
Wei Yun continued to sigh: "As soon as I entered the Wei Mansion, I was hurt by your mouth, you should know that if the maid made a mistake and was kicked out of the mansion, it would be difficult to find the maid's errand in other homes." ”
Squinted, looked at the paper fan in his hand, and shook it lightly like a sword.
"How much silver did that man give you?"
Mingyue raised her head violently and looked at the girl sitting on the stone bench in shock, the light yarn was blown by the wind, the forbidden beads collided with each other and made a crisp sound, and her fingers hooked the hair that was blown up.
The girl seemed to be very unconcerned, playing with the paper fan in her hand, and looked up at the corner of the garden from time to time.
Mingyue bit her lip, thinking that the twenty taels of silver were still buried under the evergreen vines in the garden, but she didn't know how to get the silver if she was arrested today, and thought of the little brother who was praised by her master for being able to read in her family, and the family needed this silver.
She was about to bite off and not say anything.
The paper fan made a beautiful spin in her hand, looking at Mingyue's uncertain face, she hooked the corners of her mouth: "You won't still be thinking about how to give away the silver, right?" ”
Mingyue's body was stunned, her back was slightly sore, she opened her mouth, and her voice was a little unbelievable: "You, how do you know." ”
smiled faintly, his lips hooked out of the unreachable flickering, the paper fan in his hand with a beautiful spin, stunned by the maid on the side.
"You don't care how I know, I can know what you think, and I can guess who that person is, but you just have to admit it yourself."
Mingyue closed her mouth at the right time, and secretly glanced at the little maid beside her, with a look of remorse in her eyes.
A breeze blew, and a petal floated there, Wei Yun took it, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't mention the silver when you say it, and by the way, I will send someone to send you home, in other words, does that person know where your home is?" ”
Mingyue shook her head.
Wei Yun said lightly: "Since this is the case, then let's say it, you don't want to hurt this little sister." ”
The little maid glanced at Wei Yun and lowered her head.
Mingyue struggled for a long time and said, "It's the third lady." ”
Wei Cai'er was already expected.
"She gave the slave maid twenty taels of silver, and asked the slave maid to spread the word in the mansion that the eldest lady poisoned the future princess and harmed the Wei Mansion."
Twenty taels of silver? Wei Yun raised her eyebrows, this sister has a lot of money in her private room.
Thinking that day she broke into Wei Cai'er's room and looked at the silver piled up on the table, it was not surprising where the silver came from.
Liu Xiuyue is in charge of the Wei Mansion's expenses, and she should have swallowed a lot over the years.
Wei Yun nodded and asked Chuntang to call the housekeeper over.
It didn't take long for the housekeeper to be dragged over by Chuntang, and his cheeks were covered with fine sweat.
Chuntang pinched the butler's sleeve stiffly: "Housekeeper, hurry up, I see you running faster than anyone else with the monthly money on weekdays, and now Miss needs you, it's not okay for you to procrastinate like this." ”
The butler's chest rose and fell quickly, his face wrinkled, and he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve while running, and he was pulled by Chuntang all the way, he didn't take a breath, and when he heard Chuntang tell himself, he had long lost the extra strength to defend, so he had to give her a blank look.
Standing at the gate of the garden, he saw a woman in plain clothes sitting in the gazebo safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, and there were two people kneeling in front of him.
The housekeeper squinted, and from the clothes on his body, he was a subordinate of the Wei Mansion.
The recruitment and dismissal of the subordinates of the Wei Mansion has always been in his charge.
Could it be that the maid bumped into the eldest lady? But according to the eldest lady's elegant and easy-going temperament, the maid shouldn't have called him if he collided.
Could it be? The butler suddenly remembered something, and his steps were a little faster.
The butler walked quickly to the gazebo, stopped at the last step, and saluted respectfully: "Miss." ”
Wei Yun came back to her senses, glanced at the sweat on the housekeeper's temples and didn't have time to wipe them, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I called the housekeeper in such a hurry because of these two maids." ”
The housekeeper looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, one of them had his forehead firmly attached to the ground, and he couldn't see his face clearly, while the other looked behind him, half-kneeling and half-sitting, his expression was a little sad, and when he saw his face, the housekeeper's heart sank.
Seeing the housekeeper like this, Wei Yun smiled and said, "Does the housekeeper know something?" ”
Hearing this, the housekeeper's body stiffened, and he breathed a sigh in his chest before saying, "Please also tell the eldest lady what the two of them have committed first, and I will hear if it is the same." ”
Wei Yun looked at the housekeeper and motioned for Chuntang to explain.
Listening to Chuntang's words, the big butler's face sank, and after Chuntang finished speaking, the butler's waist bent a lot.
"Does the butler know?" Wei Yun said.
The housekeeper said in a deep voice: "Mingyue was talking about this with another maid this morning, and I bumped into it. ”
Wei Yun raised her eyebrows: "How did the housekeeper do it." ”
The housekeeper took a deep breath when he heard this, and then said, "I reprimanded the two of them......"
"Just a reprimand?" Wei Yun played with the paper fan, and when she saw the housekeeper frowning and agreeing, she continued: "And then? ”
The housekeeper glanced at it, and Mingyue, who looked sad, spoke: "Then, Mingyue pulled me aside and said that this matter is not for me to manage." ”
Wei Yun nodded, looked at Mingyue, and said lightly: "In this case, the housekeeper knows what to do, as for the other people in the Wei Mansion, I don't mind the housekeeper using this matter to knock and knock, after all, the Wei Mansion is not another place, and gossip cannot be allowed to spread in the slightest." ”
The butler's face sank like water, and he said respectfully: "Yes." ”
At night, the matter of Mingyue spread in the Wei Mansion, but this time he shut up after hearing it, and didn't dare to say more than half a word.
Wei Yun pestled her chin and played with a paper fan at the table, a fox fur cloak was placed on the chair next to her, and she looked at the window from time to time, and frowned when she saw that the window was not moving,
Chuntang came several times to urge Wei Yun to take care of her body and let her rest earlier, Wei Yun waved her hand, indicating that she knew.
Chun Tao wondered what she was doing looking for a cloak, and before she could ask, she was pushed out by Wei Yun and let her go to sleep.
I don't know how long later, the candle flame in the room suddenly flickered, the window was pushed open, and a man in a dark coat turned over and came in easily.
Wei Yun looked at the man's back and closed the window lightly, raised her eyebrows, and said coquettishly: "Yo, it's the disciple of that family who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and opens the window of the girl's house." ”
Lin Mo turned around, saw the fox fur cloak on the chair, and said with a smile: "I don't know which little girl can't wait to elope with me, a disciple." ”
Wei Yun's face suddenly turned a faint flush, and he glared at the person sitting in front of him.
Seeing that he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and poured tea for her by the way.
Smelling the fragrance of tea, she asked unconvinced: "Elopement?" Do you dare? ”
Lin Mo took a sip of tea: "Are you coming?" ”
The two jumped out of the household, the soles of their shoes stepped on the dry petals, making a crisp sound, her heart beat a little faster, obviously this is her own family but it has become a thief, why bother?
Lin Mo pulled her to the top.
The cold wind blew suddenly, and the oval moon in the sky shone on the white moon, and the two of them were covered with silver light.
Tightening the cloak on his body, Wei Yun asked, "Where are we going?" ”
Lin Mo looked back at her teasingly, and teased, "Didn't you say you were going to elope with me?" ”
Seeing that he didn't look like a proper figure, Wei Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Where did that cold and handsome Major General Lin go?
But the person in front of him is indeed quite handsome.
"You said it, I didn't say it."
Lin Mo nodded, the moonlight shone on the tip of his nose, and he saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Let's go check and check, are there any clues?" ”
Wei Yun pulled the cloak and said angrily: "Don't take me during the day, now let me follow you as a night owl in the middle of the night." ”
Lin Mo watched her body shrink into the cloak, and pinched the cloak tightly from the inside, revealing only her head.
"Then let's elope, it's night."
Why did this man elope without saying a word......
Wei Yun hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, let's go investigate the case, this matter is more important, let's put aside the elopement first." ”
Lin Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Well, put it aside first." ”
Lin Mo took Wei Yun down to the roof, and came to a room after a while.
Wei Yun glanced around casually and asked, "Where is this?" ”
Lin Mo pushed open the door and walked in with Wei Yun, "The cat I asked Yan Sen to bring back is inside." ”
Cat? Wei Yun's expression moved, and he quickly followed.
The room was not large, with only four tables under it, and an object on the wooden table in the middle was wrapped in steps.
Lin Mo brought the oil lamp and said, "It's the cat inside." ”
Wei Yun lifted the black cloth, a foul smell spread, Wei Yun covered his nose with a handkerchief, and handed Lin Mo a piece by the way, looked at the little white cat that was already a little rotten, and asked, "You didn't hand it over to the imperial court?" ”
Lin Mo shook his head and glanced at Wei Yun before he said: "For the time being, I haven't found out which side Zhang Qian is from, but today I probed his tone, and I didn't pay much attention to this matter, presumably I pushed the charge on you after going through the motions?" ”
Wei Yun frowned, took out a silver needle from the cloth bag on the side, and asked, "Is he the prince's person?" ”
Lin Mo shook his head: "There are too many doubts in this matter, and I can't be sure if it has anything to do with the prince, but I always feel that this matter has nothing to do with him." ”
Wei Yun watched the silver needle pulled out of the kitten's belly turn black, glanced at Lin Mo, put away the silver needle, and said, "The prince has done so many bad things, and finally there is a sensation in the capital that has nothing to do with him." ”
Lin Mo brought the oil lamp closer, frowned, and said: "Although the prince may use this matter to take revenge on you and marry Yu Zhen to make the prime minister's family grateful, but I investigated this matter and found that he does not seem to have a chance to commit a crime, but if he does not handle it well, it will make him have a lot less support in the court." ”
