Chapter 10: The Man in the Mirror
The hairpin is made of gold, and the golden light is very attractive to the girl.
The hairpin is inlaid with a round and crystal clear pearl, with several red tassels hanging from the bottom, and two butterflies fluttering at the tail.
Mu Xiaoxiao held it, facing the candle flame, shining with golden light, which was very good-looking.
It's so beautiful.
What girl doesn't like golden things?
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but call Laneige, took off the hairpin he wore when he saluted on his head, and put the butterfly hairpin on.
The beauty in the mirror has bright eyes and bright teeth, snow-white skin, which can be broken by blowing, and two small golden butterflies are shaking one after another, as if they are playing.
Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her apricot eyes, feeling that everything was unreal.
Is the person in the mirror really her?
……
There was a carriage parked outside General Mu's mansion.
A man dressed in black came out of the wall, and his face could not be seen clearly in the night.
I only know that he is very tall, and he exudes an aura of alienation.
Xie Qian'an was napping, and when he saw the night stars coming out, he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and opened the curtain.
Night Xingchen got into the carriage and slowly left General Mu's mansion.
The night is hazy, and the moon hangs on the treetops.
Night Xingchen lifted the corner of the curtain and stared at the gate of General Mu's mansion, and the faint moonlight came in.
His face grew clearer.
Night Star doesn't know why he came, but he came anyway.
She said before: "My name is Mu Xiaoxiao, I live in General Mu's Mansion at the end of Southeast Street, enter the door and turn left into the East Garden to enter the third room." ”
She's going to be dead in five days.
The night star ghost envoy ordered Xie Qian'an to find the best jewelry shop in the capital, and asked the master to create a hairpin within three days.
It's just that it's not good to send it rashly, so I had to go over the wall in the middle of the night and send it in.
Seeing the little girl's stunned appearance after putting on the hairpin, Night Xingchen stopped for a long time.
Maybe he didn't want to raise a daughter, but he simply wanted to raise her.
Feelings, that's what happened.
But she is still so young and delicate, and there should be better people to protect her.
Night Star shook his head self-deprecatingly and lowered the curtain to block out the moonlight.
"Go to the military department."
"Yes."
Xie Qian'an took the reins and reversed direction.
The situation in the south became more and more tense, and the expedition was rushed to a hurry, and finally it was decided to set off in ten days.
The various ministries of the imperial court were very busy.
Ye Xingchen may not have been back to the palace for a long time, is he free today, and he came back after a trip to the military headquarters.
……
"Bang!"
Lan Hui broke into the warehouse and hurriedly ran in, with a white face: "Miss, it's not good!" The eldest lady committed suicide! ”
"What?!"
Mu Xiaoxiao stood up suddenly, the mirror in his hand slipped and shattered.
The shattered lenses seemed to have cut a bloody hole in her heart, and the bright red color continued to flow out.
Her whole person was as if she had been struck by lightning, and her apricot eyes were a little confused and overwhelmed.
After being stunned for two seconds, he ran out of the warehouse with his skirt in his hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao ran wildly all the way, but when she got to the door, she didn't dare to step in, afraid that what she saw was not what she wanted.
The heavy smell of blood came out, and the maids kept going in and out, white water in, red water out.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat in front of the gate of Mu Da in a daze, her eyes were red, and tears slipped down silently.
At this time, Lan Hui came out, looking exhausted, and also sat on the ground.
"Miss......"
Mu Xiaoxiao turned around, sniffed, reached out to hug her, and cried out.
"Sister Lan Hui, did I say the wrong thing......
Lan Hui patted her on the back and comforted: "No, it's the eldest lady who ......"
Lan Hui didn't continue.
The two hugged each other and cried into tears.
