Chapter 12: Halfway Interception
Xiao Yiran refused the mother-in-law's service, and walked into the house alone to change clothes, she shook off the layers of dresses, and it was really beautiful.
This material, this style, is something that Xiao Yiran has never seen before, and the only drawback is probably that it is a little bigger.
Xiao Yiran chuckled, Bai Huaping's posture was just to make herself think that she was a kind person and be grateful to her, and by the way, she could brush her favorability in front of everyone and praise her virtuous and virtuous virtues.
She put on her underwear and reached for the coat on the stool, and at the moment when she was about to put it on, she fingers smacked: there was a problem!
Xiao Yiran's eyes sharpened, and he picked up the sleeve of his clothes and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.
After a moment, her smile turned cold: someone has tampered with this dress!
When she shook her clothes just now, she smelled a fragrance from her clothes, and at first she just thought it was incense, but when she got closer, she found that it was medicine.
A medicine that can make people itch all over and have a rash all over their face!
Who exactly? Who is trying to harm her?
White screen?
No! It can't be her, she sent this dress, and if something goes wrong, she's the first to blame!
With her brains that have stood tall in the Hou Mansion for so many years, it is impossible for her to do such a stupid thing?
Who could that be?
Xiao Yiran's eyes were heavy: I didn't expect that before she returned home, someone couldn't hold back!
"Miss? Miss? How are you? ”
The mother-in-law outside the door saw that she didn't come out for so long, and thought that she couldn't wear it, and was about to go in to have a look, but the door opened from the inside.
"Miss, why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Won't you wear it? ”
The mother-in-law has been looking at Xiao Yiran for so long, and she is still wearing her tattered body, and her eyebrows are slightly frowned.
After looking at her without moving for a while, Xiao Yiran suddenly squeezed out a few tears from his eyes, raised the clothes in his hand in front of her, and cried in a trembling voice: "I just accidentally stepped on the hem of my skirt and tore it up." ”
"What?" The woman's face changed slightly, this was specially ordered by the lady to be sent over, and when she left, she also instructed that the third lady in front of her must wear this to go home.
But she actually broke it? Sure enough, it's a clumsy person who can't get on the stage!
The mother-in-law was even more disdainful and disgusted with her, and when she thought of the consequences of not being able to complete the task, she was afraid for a while, and sweat oozed from her head.
At this moment, she couldn't care about Xiao Yiran's dislike, and hurriedly coaxed: "Miss, if you try again, it will be difficult for people to notice the damage if it is slightly covered,"
I knew you would say that! Xiao Yiran snorted coldly in his heart.
She unfolded her skirt, and a big opening suddenly appeared on the skirt, from the hem of the skirt to the thigh, blocking the mother-in-law's words at once.
The woman almost didn't come up in one breath, she thought it was just a small crack, but who knew that the skirt was going to be torn in half. Whose young lady has so much strength? She wondered if the three young ladies had torn it on purpose.
That's right! Xiao Yiran tore it on purpose, the skirt was broken, and the whole set of clothes couldn't be worn.
But of course she wouldn't say it.
Xiao Yiran glanced at the woman cautiously, and whispered: "I have needles and threads in my bedroom, or I will mend it myself." ”
"Look! I mended all the clothes on my body. She puffed up her chest and looked proud.
The mother-in-law swept the centipede-like needlework next to the patch of her clothes, and her cheeks couldn't help twitching a few times, and said with a dry smile: "How can Miss do such rough work?" ”
"Yes! Yes! Soon! ”
In the middle of the controversy, Steward Qian finally got impatient waiting outside, and came over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I accidentally torn my clothes, and I couldn't wear them."
"What!"
Xiao Yiran was frightened by his loud voice, and stammered: "I will make it up, I will make it up immediately." ”
Looking at her submissive look, Steward Qian felt upset, originally he received an order from Master Hou to take the third lady back to the house, but before leaving, Mrs. had to come alone, saying that she would take the third lady dressed up beautifully.
When he thought about it, it wasn't a big deal, and he could just sell his wife a favor, so why not do it?
didn't expect the three young ladies to break their skirts, although he would not be punished for this, but after all, he lost a chance to please his master.
Thinking of this, Steward Qian's face was lowered, and his voice was no longer as polite as before, and he said stiffly: "Forget it!" It's important to hurry! Miss should go home with the servant first. Presumably, Master Hou will not criticize you for this. ”
"Really?" Xiao Yiran was pleasantly surprised, happily entered the house to pack his luggage, got into the carriage, and the group drove slowly towards the capital.
The white painting screen is indeed a good person, and there are blankets and snacks in the car, so Xiao Yiran can't find anything bad.
She pinched a piece of mung bean cake and put it in her mouth, glanced at the clothes she had put away, and lowered her head to ponder: This dress was sent by Bai Huaping, and the person who wanted to harm it could not only get close to it, but also soak the medicine into the clothes unconsciously, it seems that he is not an idle person in the Hou Mansion.
The carriage suddenly jolted violently twice, Xiao Yiran came back to his senses, lifted the curtain to look out, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's okay! The coachman stepped on a stone. ”
Hearing the sound of someone talking, Xiao Yiran nodded slightly and lowered the curtain.
The cool breeze blew slowly, lifting the corner of the curtain, and a smell of blood wafted into the carriage.
Xiao Yiran's eyes opened suddenly, his eyes shot out of the window, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Wrong! That voice just now......
It's coming from the roof of the car!
She raised her head, her heart sank slightly, and she carefully and vigilantly flicked the corner of the curtain, only to see the coachman sitting motionless in front of the car with his head bowed, his hands hanging down weakly.
He was dead!
What about the people around here......
Xiao Yiran's heart sank to the bottom, she took out a dagger from her burden and hid it in her sleeve, then pushed away the dead coachman and galloped wildly.
A silver light flashed behind her, and a sword stabbed straight at her neck, Xiao Yiran seemed to have eyes on her back, and immediately dodged sideways, avoiding this fatal blow.
The dagger in his hand stabbed into the horse's back fiercely, and the horse suddenly screamed, and rushed around the road like crazy, running wildly.
The carriage shook violently, Xiao Yiran grabbed the reins tightly, endured the churning in his stomach, and quickly turned his head to fight with the masked black-clothed man on the roof of the car.
The man in black was also uncomfortable at the moment, and the bumps of the carriage made it difficult for him to stabilize his body, and he had to fight with Xiao Yiran with his heart.
The dagger and the long sword collided with a "swish" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the atmosphere was tense.
"Who sent you?"
The man in black was silent, and a sword flower was slightly towards Xiao Yiran, almost scratching her face.
Xiao Yiran leaned back, and was forced to the edge of the carriage by him, and he was about to fall.
She wrapped the reins tightly in her hand and hung on the side of the car, steady.
The man in black leapt to her side, and the sword in his hand slashed at her mercilessly.
