Chapter 257: Poor Mao Zhilan
To the southeast of the ice field is a large courtyard, which is scattered with various hardy plants, and the pines and cypresses, which have been stripped of their frost coats, straighten up and spit out light green shoots.
Mao Zhenling, who was wearing thick armor, frowned, and walked out of the round arch of the courtyard, just as he met Mao Zhilan, who was frowning.
"Why are you back?" Mao Zhenling couldn't help but feel heartache when she looked at her sullen daughter, so many high-ranking children were vying to get married, but she chose Zhao Shutong, who had no intention of her.
"Me?" Mao Zhilan held back the tears that were about to fall, she had just been humiliated by Zhao Shutong today, and she was pushed and shoved out, and she ran back in desperation.
"He's bullying you again?" Mao Zhenling looked at his daughter's aggrieved appearance, and couldn't help but burst into anger.
Just got engaged, because he coveted the beauty of His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhun Hong, he was assigned to Mengbei Snow Mountain by His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and he still had the face to bully his baby daughter?
"No," Mao Zhilan hurriedly squeezed out a smile and coaxed: "How dare he bully your daughter, it's because her daughter has been away from home for too long and misses her father!"
"Alas!" Mao Zhenling couldn't help but sigh, raised his hand and stroked Mao Zhilan's thin shoulder.
As a father, he failed to earn a family business for his children, but relied on his thin and thin daughter to exchange himself for his current fame.
"Father, where are you going?" Mao Zhilan looked at her father's painful look on his face, and her words changed.
"Go to the ice field, Her Royal Highness the Quasi-Princess has fled, Your Majesty ordered me to lead troops to search for it!" Mao Zhenling took a deep breath and said with a solemn face.
"What? Her Royal Highness Princess Zhun Hong fled? Mao Zhilan's eyes widened, she never dreamed that the weak woman who seemed like a breeze would choose to escape.
"Hmm!" Mao Zhenling nodded solemnly, when he received the order from Steward Zhou, he was also surprised, he couldn't understand that the princess of Zhun Hong, who had already sat in such a high position, would actually escape?
"Where are you looking for this?" Mao Zhilan looked at her father with gray sideburns and couldn't help but ask, there is not even a figure in the ice field now, and even the snow rabbit that is common on weekdays is gone.
"To the north of the ice field, there is the Snow Eagle Army stationed by His Royal Highness, and to the west of the ice field is the deserted Beast Valley, Her Royal Highness the Zhun Hong Princess will definitely not flee to these two directions, and the rest is only east and south!" Mao Zhenling twisted his eyebrows and pondered.
"However, with heavy troops in the south and the impassable Mengbei Snow Mountain in the east, where is my father going to find someone?" Mao Zhilan asked worriedly.
"Your Majesty has a will, dig three feet into the ground and find out the princess of Zhun Hong!" Mao Zhenling dragged off the black fox fur, strode forward, and suddenly stopped when he was about to walk out of the yard, and said loudly to Mao Zhilan: "Don't go out recently, just stay at home and wait for me to come back!"
"Good!" Mao Zhilan nodded, turned around and walked to a transparent glass door, she stretched out her hand to open the glass door, and a warm wind rushed from inside the glass door.
The inside of the glass door is the inner courtyard of Maofu, and there is a warm air system in the inner courtyard that is like spring all year round, and all kinds of flowers, plants, fruits and trees are particularly gorgeous in the inner courtyard!
Mao Zhilan walked absentmindedly on the cobblestone road, she couldn't forget Zhao Shutong's reprimand for herself this morning, and the look of evil words was like that of a handsome son.
She couldn't figure out why Zhao Shutong changed sex, she accompanied him to pick snow ginseng in a low voice, but made him laugh.
She also understood the distress in Zhao Shutong's heart, she had just been ordered to get engaged, and she was sent to the ice field in a blink of an eye.
However, this was not what she wanted, and she also became the laughing stock of the sisters in her boudoir because of Zhao Shutong's hair.
She clenched her little fists and walked slowly towards her small courtyard, which was hidden under a verdant willow tree, and no one could tell that it was a wooden hut.
She pushed open the door of the courtyard and walked towards the house, and as soon as she entered, a cold dagger was pressed against the back of her heart.
"Don't move!" A somewhat familiar voice appeared in her ear.
She nodded quickly, and let the person behind her tie herself up.
"Do you still know me?" A woman with a scar on her face turned to her.
"I don't know!" Mao Zhilan shook her head hesitantly, this person had a goose egg face, and a brown scar extended from the corner of his eye to his chin, turning the whole face hideous and terrifying!
Rong Yu looked around at the once familiar hut, clapped his hands and said, "It's really a noble person who forgets things!" Occupy this girl's hut, but forget about this girl! ”
"What?" Mao Zhilan looked at Rong Yu, who had changed beyond recognition, and asked in surprise, "Are you Rong Yu?"
"So what do you think?" Rong Yu slowly walked to his bed and leaned back, looked at Mao Zhilan with a smile and said, "Do you think this girl has died in the Ice Royal Canyon full of spirit beasts?" This girl has always been thinking about you, do you know that you are the courage of this girl to live! ”
"You're here to get revenge on me?" Mao Zhilan was speechless for a while, and when she reported to the queen, she had already made a painful decision, and she had already made a choice for the sake of her family.
"Looks like you're not stupid!" Rong Yu reached out and picked up the perfume on the bedside table, sprayed herself a few times, the familiar fragrance quickly rushed into her nostrils, she inhaled intoxicatedly, and then opened her eyes with satisfaction.
This is the aristocratic brand she used to use, and now it has been stolen by this whistleblower for herself.
"Kill if you want!" Mao Zhilan looked at the resentment in Rong Yu's eyes, and straightened her slender neck, since there was no way to avoid it, why did she plead so hard?
"I'm not afraid of death!" Rong Yu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and slowly swallowed them, and said disdainfully: "It seems that you really don't invite Zhao Shutong to see you, otherwise you wouldn't want to die so much?"
"If Zhao Shutong and I love each other, won't you kill me?" Mao Zhilan grinned and smiled disdainfully.
"Of course not!" Rong Yu threw the melon seeds in his hand on the stone table, dusted his hands and said, "However, Zhao Shutong made you so miserable, I killed you, not to help you get free!"
Rong Yu slowly walked in front of Mao Zhilan, raised her pointed chin, and said softly, "I'm going to let you die slowly!"
"Whatever!" Mao Zhilan resolutely twisted her head to the side, revealing a look of death, she knew that she was a lamb to the slaughter, and she had no choice at all.
"I didn't see it!" Rong Yu shook the glittering dagger and said appreciatively: "I didn't expect you to be quite kind!"
"If you don't have a seed, you won't dare to report you to Your Majesty!" Mao Zhilan squinted her eyes and showed a mocking smile.
"Say!" Rong Yu suddenly collapsed a face, put a knife against Mao Zhilan's cheek, and asked sharply, "How do you know that this girl kidnapped those two?"
"No comment!" Mao Zhilan looked at Rong Yu's eyes full of hatred and smiled.
Although she already knew that she was just a stand-in for Mao Zhiruo to get rid of Rongyu's revenge, her father's promotion and her own favor were all thanks to Mao Zhiruo, and she couldn't take advantage of Mao Zhiruo's difficulties and fall into the ground.
"Pretty hard-mouthed?" Rong Yu pointed a dagger at Mao Zhilan's thin white neck and sent it in, and blood immediately came out of the tip of the knife.
"Our Rong family, because of your whistleblowing, the whole family will behead, I will kill you first, and then kill your mother and brother!" Rong Yu looked at Mao Zhilan gritting her teeth and saying viciously.
"Don't!" Mao Zhilan shouted with a crying voice: "The informant is me, no matter how you want to torture me, I will not resist, I just ask you not to kill my mother and brother!"
"Humph!" Rong Yu pulled out the dagger, and a winding little snake immediately crawled down her neck, she rubbed the bloody dagger on Mao Zhilan's face, and said coldly: "This girl has no patience, if you don't say it, there will be no chance to say it again!"
"I say, I say!" Mao Zhilan shook the hair hanging on her forehead, gritted her teeth and said, "It's Liu Wen!"
"Liu Wen?" Rong Yu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't figure out how Mao Zhilan got the news, it turned out to be Liu Wen's ghost.
"Yes!" Mao Zhilan nodded vigorously, "I met her when I went to see my uncle, when she was falling in front of the door of the old mansion, she said that she had broken her foot and couldn't go to see Your Majesty, so she told me the news that you kidnapped His Royal Highness the county lord and Miss Yuwei." ”
"How did she find out?" Rong Yu looked at Mao Zhilan, who was sincerely afraid, and asked.
"I don't know about that!" Mao Zhilan looked dazed, "I still know from my uncle's questioning of my cousin that I am just their scapegoat!" ”
"Where is Liu Wen now?" Rong Yu asked eagerly.
"It should be her aunt's house." Mao Zhilan carefully recalled: "After Mao's house was raided, I saw her once, and I saw her walk out of her aunt's house!"
"Where does her aunt live?" Rong Yu asked after him.
"It's in a small mansion in the north of the royal city, and there is a tall cypress tree at the door of the house." Mao Zhilan described seriously.
"Well, when it gets dark today, you will go with me, and if there is a false sentence, I will kill you immediately!" Rong Yu picked up a piece of cloth that was placed on the windowsill and stuffed it into Mao Zhilan's mouth.
Then, she pushed Mao Zhilan to the corner, and she walked to the bed and lay down.
She looked at the orange roof, and couldn't help but feel sad, she had no status, no dignity, she was not even as good as a dog in a rich family.
She came with great difficulty, hovering on the edge of life and death countless times, just to avenge the innocent and tragic death of her family.
All the forbearance has finally paid off, she has finally found the person who wanted to kill her, and she is about to see her real enemy!
After some time, the sky gradually darkened, and a ray of starlight slowly crept in through the gap in the closed window.
Rong Yu stretched out her arm lazily, and a carp stood up, she tiptoed to the window, opened a gap and looked outside.
The small courtyard in the night is still as beautiful as when I was there, the lush blue star flowers are along the roots of the wall, and the red roses are very enchanting in the night.
This is the small courtyard that she just arranged when she left, and she planned to come back, so that she could cultivate her character and work hard for the position of the princess of the Hong family, but she didn't expect that the impulse of the moment would bring her entire Rong family to ruin.
The thought of her mother's hopelessness when she was beheaded, her heart ached like a pinprick, and she was determined to avenge her mother, even if it became what it is now.
A cruel look flashed in her eyes, she wanted to make all those who calculated her pay for her with blood!
She turned around, walked quickly to Mao Zhilan's side, and picked her up viciously.
Today is the first step of her revenge, then the second step, the third step......
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she wanted to let the people of the entire Feilang clan see the fate of framing the Rong family.
"Let's go!" She pushed Mao Zhilan out of the small courtyard and walked out of the backyard on the familiar path.
The ice field outside is beautiful, coated with a layer of glittering silver, but who knows that the hero of a revenge tragedy has appeared......
