Chapter 222. Night comes
As soon as the sky was dark, the small courtyard, which had been silent all day, was suddenly knocked by the "knock".
At that time, Jing Wu was helping the beautiful woman clean up in the kitchen, when he heard a knock on the door, he was startled, and the porcelain bowl in his hand was not held steady, and it fell into four or five pieces.
"Girl, what are you thinking? Just a knock on the door scares you like this. The beautiful woman teased as she wiped her hands and bent down to pick up the debris on the ground.
"Why don't you go back to your room first, don't worry, I'm here."
As she spoke, the beautiful woman neatly put away the debris on the ground, and was about to get up when there was a knock on the door again.
Jing Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and walked in the direction of the gate, "I'll open the door." ”
The sky was a little darker, and the things around him became shadowy, so that Jing Wu couldn't tell who it was the moment he opened the door.
"Miss Jing, it's a servant."
"Why are you here?" , Hearing the owner of the voice, Jing Wu was a little puzzled.
But doubts are doubts, Jing Wu still turned sideways and said, "You come in first." ”
The figure outside the door curtled his knees.
"No, Miss Jing. The maid didn't go in, but the lady asked the maid to invite you to come to Zhining Courtyard, saying that she had something to explain to the girl. ”
The person who came outside the door was one of the eldest lady's current personal maids, Moyu, who was originally in charge of the daily life of the eldest lady's study.
Hearing the words "eldest lady", Jing Wu hurriedly asked, "Is the eldest lady awake?" What's going on now? ”
"I should wake up at noon, and the rest ...... The servant is not very clear. ”
Jing Wu asked again: "That...... On the side of Zhiningyuan, are there still many visitors to visit now? ”
"I didn't ...... No, Miss Jing, you better go with the servant. Mo Yu's voice suddenly trembled a little, as if the more Jing Wu asked, the more scared she became.
Jing Wu was silent, quietly looking at the dark shadow in front of him.
She couldn't see Moyu's face clearly, but she subconsciously felt that Moyu might be as uneasy as her.
That's it, why should she add one or two points of fear to Mo Yu.
"Okay, let's go now."
…
Zhining Courtyard is no different from weekdays, the same tranquility but a little depressing.
Jing Wu entered the eldest lady's room unhindered.
There was a row of lights in the room, and it was dim and hazy.
There is no strong smell of medicine in the imagination, and there is no "hey...... Uh-uh" panting.
At one point, Jing Wu even wondered if it would be a prank.
Until she was about to reach out to uncover the curtain, the curtain was lifted from the inside with a "......", and then Bai Jiyuan's increasingly tough face appeared in front of Jing Wu.
The dim light pulled, and Bai Ji was far more mature than usual.
"You're here......"
"Hmm."
"That'...... Then you go, Mother is waiting for you. ”
"Okay."
Bai Ji turned to the side, and the hand that held the curtain remained motionless, until Jing Wu also entered the inner room, he raised his feet again and slowly walked towards the outer room.
The light in the inner room was much brighter than in the outer room, and there was a thick carpet on the floor, and there was no sound when you stepped on it.
On the contrary, the sound of Bai Ji's footsteps in the distance and the sound of the last closing door came into his ears through the curtains.
Jing Wu came back to his senses and was about to take a step forward, when a wrist slowly stretched out of the bed curtain, crooked, pale and weak.
"You come ......", the voice sounded hoarse and decayed.
