Akiba's face turned slightly pale, and her legs trembled as she stepped out.

Seeing Akiba approaching, she pointed to the blood-colored bug: "You go and try." ”

Autumn leaves fell to their knees with a thud, and their bodies trembled with fear: "Miss, please let the slave go." ”

Lin Youran showed a gentle smile when she heard this, and reached out and touched her cheek: "I don't mean to harm you, Mama said that this blood-colored insect doesn't hurt people, as long as you don't betray me, it's fine, do you have the idea of betraying me?" ”

"Miss, the slave doesn't." Autumn leaves hurriedly shook her head, how dare she have such thoughts. She has served Miss for so many years, and she still knows her character very well. It seems to be very gentle and kind, but in fact, the means are ruthless, Chunhua has been with her for so long, and she has given up when she says she will give up.

"Akiba, you don't have to be afraid. This blood-colored bug is good for your body and will keep you from getting sick, as long as you don't betray Miss. ”

Mama Dong showed a smile on her serious face, but it made people feel weird.

Akiba knew that he would definitely not be able to escape today, so he could only grit his teeth and compromise in the end.

"The slave listens to the young lady."

After saying that, he stretched out his arm and let the blood-colored worm get in. After a pinprick pain, I didn't feel anything at all.

But Akiba left a shadow in his heart, always feeling that there was a small insect swimming in his body.

Lin leisurely nodded with satisfaction, although he knew that Autumn Leaves would not betray him. But just to be on the safe side, after all, she knows too much of her secrets.

"Have a good rest today."

"Yes, the slave and maid retreated." Akiba got up, saluted and stepped back.

Coming out of the house, Akiba returned to her quarters. Originally, she shared a room with Chunhua, but now Chunhua lives by herself when she is not there.

There was no one around, so she hurriedly wiped the place where the insect had touched. Tears welled up in his eyes, and a sense of grievance and humiliation arose.

I never thought that Miss would do this to her.

She pursed her lips and stared at her arm for a moment.

I feel that I still have to give myself a way out, this idea has just passed. There was a sudden burst of pain in her heart, and her face turned pale from the pain, and beads of sweat came out of her forehead.

Get the thought out of your head, and the pain disappears a lot.

Akiba sat weakly on the bed and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, not daring to have these thoughts anymore.

Exhaled and calmed herself before she got up and left the room.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lin Zhuohua saw Feng Shuhui coming to the college to take classes. It's just that I look thinner than the previous days, and I don't have much energy.

"Shuhui, you're here. I heard from my husband that there are some things at home in your house, and now it's okay, right? ”

Lin Zhuohua stepped forward and asked with a little worry.

Feng Shuhui was a little embarrassed, and pulled Lin Zhuohua to the room where she was resting. After everyone retreated, they opened their mouths listlessly.

"My cousin had an accident and our engagement was cancelled."

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhuohua's heart sank and asked.

"On his way back to Beijing from Yecheng, he encountered robbers and was killed, and now he has not even found his body." Feng Shuhui's eyes were slightly red, and her heart hurt a little when she thought that the fiancé who loved her was gone.

"These robbers are too rampant, dare to cause people to die on the outskirts of Beijing?"

Lin Zhuohua's brows furrowed tightly, she didn't believe this.

"You think this is weird, don't you?" Feng Shuhui's eyes lit up and looked at Lin Zhuohua.

Jing Guo's soldiers are strong and strong, especially the strength of the army is very strong. It is the most powerful of the three countries, and the other two countries do not dare to attack.

There are no such rampant robbers on the outskirts of Shangshan, who dare to blatantly kill people and take away the corpses.

"Well, it's really fast." Lin Zhuohua nodded, and then continued: "What are your plans?" ”

Seeing her say this, Lin Zhuohua knew that Feng Shuhui must be investigating the real reason why her fiancé was killed. It just so happened that she also wanted to investigate, and she always felt that this matter had nothing to do with the prince.

"I want to investigate clearly, how to say that my cousin and I have been in love for so many years, I don't want him to die in vain." A flash of pain flashed in her eyes, and then she disappeared and replaced it with a touch of firmness.

"Okay, I'll help you if you want to investigate." Lin Zhuohua held her hand and promised.

"Thank you, I will not be polite to you if there is a need." During the time that Feng Shuhui and Lin Zhuohua had been together, they had already seen that the two maids who followed her were both martial arts and their kung fu was not bad.

"Let's go, sir should have something to tell you."

Remembering the last time Mr. Wutang said that he would accept her and Feng Shuhui as apprentices, he should have talked to her today.

Feng Shuhui didn't think much about it, and nodded: "It just so happens that I also want to go to Mr. to take a vacation." ”

The two walked towards the room where Mr. Wutang was resting, and Lin Zhuohua finally decided to learn martial arts with Mr. Wutang after thinking about it for a few days. After all, her anti-heaven acupuncture method also requires strong internal force to break through, and it is not enough for her grandfather to teach her.

Mr. Wu Tang saw the two of them come together and asked them to sit down on the chair opposite.

"Sir, I'm here to take a vacation." Feng Shuhui had recovered to her original state at this time, but she was a little more calm, as if she had grown up a lot overnight.

"Well, since the two of you came together, I'll just say it." Mr. Wutang nodded, and then continued, "I plan to take the two of you as apprentices, are you willing?" ”

This can be regarded as asking Lin Zhuohua again, and his eyes fell on the two of them.

Feng Shuhui was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I am willing." ”

"What about you?" Seeing that Feng Shuhui did not hesitate at all, Mr. Wutang was very satisfied, and then looked at Lin Zhuohua: "What about you?" ”

"I am also willing to worship Mr. as a teacher." Lin Zhuohua did not hesitate this time and nodded solemnly.

"Very good, then from tomorrow onwards, you will come here to find me after the class here in the martial arts hall is over." Mr. Wu Tang was in a very good mood, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter: "My surname is Ouyang, and my name is Qianru." When no one is around, you can call me Master Ouyang. ”

Lin Zhuohua was slightly stunned, Ouyang is compound surname. It is rare in the Three Kingdoms, and the few families with compound surnames have not heard of anyone with the surname Ouyang.

"Yes, Master Ouyang."

Retracted their thoughts, and the two responded crisply.

"Alright, it's almost class, you guys go to school first." Ouyang Qianru waved her hand and asked the two to step back.

The two of them came out of Mr. Wutang and walked in the direction of the school grounds.

When passing by the medicine hall, I happened to meet Xue Zhen'er who came out of it, because of the matter of the Ning Divine Doctor, Xue Zhen'er now saw her with hatred, as if she had robbed her of her opportunity.

Everyone has their own abilities, and if she can't compare to her, she should admit defeat, but unfortunately not everyone can afford to lose.

"It's good to be pretty, and there is always someone who will escort it." Xue Zhen'er sighed with her friends as if she had no intention of doing so, but her eyes glanced at Lin Zhuohua with a little contempt.

The girl who was following Xue Zhen'er tugged at her sleeve and frowned. How can they, the common people, fight with these noble women?

Lin Zhuohua wanted to roll her eyes at her regardless of the image of a lady, but it was a pity that she had to maintain her beautiful appearance outside, so as not to ruin her beautiful image by rolling her eyes.

"Some people just can't eat grapes, especially the kind of can't afford to lose, it's really disgusting to watch."

Feng Shuhui was not in a beautiful mood at this time, and naturally she would not let go if someone hit the muzzle of the gun. She and Lin Zhuohua are friends, and she is naturally unhappy when she is sarcastic about Lin Zhuohua.

"We didn't name anyone, are you admitting it?" Xue Zhen'er sneered and mocked.

Thinking that Mr. Yakudo asked her not to hold on to this matter anymore, she was unhappy in her heart. However, Lin Zhuohua no longer went to the pharmacy to attend classes, which made her feel more comfortable.

"Yo, it's pretty sharp-toothed. But we didn't name names, you answered quickly, did you admit that you are jealous of us Zhuohua, and you can't afford to lose? ”

Feng Shuhui raised her eyebrows, looked at Xue Zhen'er with a little contempt in her eyes and continued: "Even if you are jealous, it is useless, after all, you don't have this capital in your life." ”

Xue Zhen'er was poked in the sore spot, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"What do you have to be proud of, to look down on us civilians? It's just because you have a good background, if you don't have a good background, you may not be as good as us. ”

Lin Zhuohua's eyes flashed coldly when he heard this, and he grabbed Feng Shuhui and opened his mouth lazily.

"We were born from a good background because of the efforts of the older generation in the family, which gave us a good background. Besides, people with good backgrounds are not without success, and many people who work hard to improve. What I'm most afraid of is the kind of self-belief that I'm working hard.,In fact, it's just an empty shelf for others to see.,It's really a waste when it's time to use it.。 ”

After speaking, she ignored Xue Zhen'er, who had an ugly face, and pulled Feng Shuhui away, she didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of person.

Xue Zhen'er looked at the backs of the two leaving, and pinched her nails into her palms. He pursed his lips with a gloomy face, and walked towards the medicine garden after a while.

Lin Zhuohua and Feng Shuhui came to the school and found a quiet place to wait for Mr. Wutang to come over.

"After a few days of rest, I want to go to the suburbs of Beijing." Feng Shuhui leaned against the trunk of the tree, and her gaze fell on the faint opening in the distance.

"Shall I come with you? It just so happens that I'm fine, and I don't feel at ease if you go by yourself. Lin Zhuohua touched the long whip on her waist, she just wanted to go to the Yuguang Forest on the outskirts of Beijing.

"Okay." Feng Shuhui nodded and did not refuse.

The two chatted for a while, and Mr. Wu Tang came over.

They were still taken away by Mr. Wutang alone to continue their previous training.

This time it only took them half an hour to descend the mountain, only slightly out of breath. His cheeks were slightly red, and his hair was a little messy from the wind.

"Very good, tomorrow you will tie five-pound sandbags to your feet and continue to climb the mountain, this time for an hour."

After Mr. Wu Tang finished speaking, he continued in the eyes of the two of them who were about to cry: "Come on, tomorrow's teacher will still be waiting for you here." ”

dragged a somewhat tired body back to the academy, and the two of them ate a lot of food at noon to replenish their strength, but they had a feeling of refreshment all over their body, and even Feng Shuhui's mood was better.

"I'll go home first, I'm afraid the day of visiting will be postponed."

Her mother is in a bad mood, and she hasn't had the heart to go out recently. I'm afraid that for a while, I will be closed at home.

"Well, I know, you should go back and spend more time with your aunt."

She heard Feng Shuhui say that Mrs. Feng loves her nephew very much, and she loves her son like her own son. Now that the people are gone, they must be very sad and sad.

The two parted at the entrance of the college, and Lin Zhuohua got into the carriage and drove in the direction of the Guogong Mansion.

As soon as she entered Taoyuan, Bai Yu immediately greeted her. His face was a little pale, as if he was frightened.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Yu was still a little panicked at this time: "I found the body of Wutong in the pond in the garden, it was a little scary......"

"Something happened to Sycamore?" Lin Zhuohua was stunned when he heard this, Wutong was given to Lin Youran by his mother. Now that something happens, my mother will definitely ask.

"Let's go, go to my mother's side."

She took Bai Yu and walked towards the main courtyard, and the road commander asked about the matter.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Lin Youran stood in the courtyard with the maids and mothers-in-law. Some of the housekeepers and the servants who cleaned the garden were all called.

When she walked over, she saw a corpse with a white step lying on the bamboo mat on the ground. The hand that emerged from under the white cloth was so bruised that it looked like it had been poisoned.

"Zhuohua, why are you here?"

Mrs. Lin was really angry at this time, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Zhuohua coming.

"I heard that something happened to Wutong, so I came over to take a look, after all, she used to be a second-class maid next to her mother." As she spoke, she walked over to the bamboo mat and squatted down and lifted the white cloth.

Mrs. Lin tried to stop it, but finally withdrew her hand. She also wanted to know how Sycamore died, after all, she also followed her.

Lin Zhuohua squatted down to examine Wutong, but strangely she did not find any signs of poisoning on her. I checked the rest of the place, and there was no sign of any attack.

"Mother, it's all my fault that I asked Wutong to help me ask for a bowl of bird's nest from the kitchen last night, if I didn't let her go, she wouldn't have had an accident."

Lin Youran leaned on Qiu Ye's body with a pale face, as if his body had not fully recovered.

"It's not your fault for this, if you want to blame it, blame the black-hearted murderer." Mrs. Lin's face was cold, and after speaking, she looked at the subordinate who was working in the small garden, and her eyes were cold: "Who was on duty in the small garden last night?" ”

A thin man walked out tremblingly and knelt on the ground: "Madame is small, these days and nights are small on duty." But last night, I really didn't see anyone else and didn't hear any movement. ”

The thin man was very scared, he had a short nap yesterday, and there was nothing on weekdays, but who knew that such a thing happened yesterday.

Mrs. Lin's face was as heavy as the bottom of a pot, and she said coldly: "This matter must be investigated, otherwise the people in the house will definitely be unstable." ”

This time, the master of the entire Lin Guogong Mansion was shocked, although it was just the death of a little maid, but it was different from usual, this little maid was obviously killed, not fell into the water.

Thinking that someone in the house was secretly killing people, everyone's face was not good.

"You haven't recovered yet, go back and rest." Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Youran with a lukewarm attitude, as if she was treating a stranger.

Lin Youran opened his mouth, and was finally pulled by Mama Dong beside him, which blessed her body: "That daughter will go back to rest first, if there is any progress, my mother must send someone to tell me, after all, Wutong also served me." ”

Mrs. Lin nodded, and then asked Qiu Ye and Mama Dong to help Lin go back leisurely.

Mrs. Lin resolutely ordered someone to investigate the matter, and then asked everyone to retreat, and took Lin Zhuohua back to the main house.

Lin Zhuohua helped Mrs. Lin sit down on the low couch and put a lumbar pillow behind her waist.

"Mother, just let the people below investigate this matter, and don't be too sad." Taking the tea handed over by the maid, she handed it to Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin rubbed her sore temples, took the teacup and took a sip of hot tea.

"Who do you think is going to do this? Was it really an accident? ”

Most of the people in the house are born to families, so they shouldn't do such a thing.

Can she believe it was an accident?

Wutong has always been careful and steady, so she sent her over to serve by Lin Youran's side. But something happened to her, which made her blame herself.

"Do you think it was Lin Youran who did it?"

Lin Zhuohua was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head: "She's not that stupid, if she can get rid of a sycamore today, you can send another sycamore over." It's better to keep this close by, as long as you don't let her stay close. ”

Mrs. Lin nodded, feeling that what her daughter said also made some sense.

"Let people check it first, no matter what the result, it can reassure people."

Lin Zhuohua thought for a moment, and then said: "Let people bury Wutong well, and her family should also be appeased." ”

"I know all this, but I'm a little sad." Mrs. Lin sighed, what happened today made her shocked and angry, and her heart was a little sad.

Lin Zhuohua didn't know how to comfort his mother, so he could only hold her arm and rest his head on her shoulder.

The mother and daughter stayed quiet for a while, and Mrs. Lin cheered up: "Okay, my mother is fine." You go and get busy with yours, don't you still have to go to Doctor Ning to study? ”

Lin Zhuohua nodded, and saw that her mother was indeed in better spirits before getting up and leaving.

Lin Youran returned to his courtyard and immediately retreated everyone, leaving only Qiu Ye and Mama Dong.

"Mama thinks someone is scheming against me about this?"

I'm afraid that many people will suspect that Wutong was killed by her design, right?

"The slaves can't see it, but we haven't done it, so we're not afraid of them checking it. In the past two days, I have watched the maids and women in the yard closely, not letting them walk around, and seeing if there are more or less things in the house. ”

Mama Dong frowned, she couldn't figure out who made it.

She had seen the corpse of Sycamore, and there really was nothing out of the ordeal. It's just that it's also strange, and someone will clean up the pond every day, just for fear of falling into the water.

"Forget it, since my mother wants to check, I will definitely give a result." Lin Youran opened his mouth a little irritably.

"Miss, you haven't been in touch with the prince for a while." Autumn leaves brought the tea to her and whispered, "The slave maid heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to want the concubine of the Great Commander's Mansion to be a side concubine. ”

"What?"

When Lin Youran heard this, the cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
