Chapter 479: Water Stains
Tian Youwei ignored the astral garden.
Then, the door was silently opened, and someone walked in softly and stood in front of the bed and peeked softly.
Tian Youwei didn't move.
The other party retracted his hand and withdrew quietly.
Facing the faint light outside, Tian Youwei saw that the figure was slender and light, it was Ziyuan.
So this is hearing the movement and coming over to see if she's still there.
This is really, surrounded by overlapping eyeliner.
She rolled over and fell into a deep sleep.
The night dew is slightly condensed, and the morning rooster announces the dawn.
Meng Shi was woken up by an unusual noise.
It was as if the sound of someone stepping barefoot on the ground, "pop, click, click......" from one end of the outhouse to the other, back and forth, very noisy.
"What's going on? Who's out there? She asked several questions in succession, but no one answered, not even the maid who had been in the night.
She thought that she was afraid that the maid would get up at night for fear of being scolded by her, and she was also the most sleepy, so she didn't ask, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
But the sound stopped for a while and then continued to sound, this time until it came to a stop outside the door of her bedroom, and then the sound of water dripping to the ground, drop by drop, "tick, tick, tick......"
She suddenly remembered something, her face suddenly turned pale, so she gritted her teeth, jumped out of bed and took off Lin Yuanqing's sword from the wall, rushed to the door in one go, and opened the door vigorously.
In the faint morning light, there was nothing in front of the bedroom door, but there was a puddle of water on the ground, fishy, with green moss and duckweed.
A small footprint of a woman, imprinted with water stains, continued from the outer door to the foul pool of water in front of her.
Meng Shi seemed to see a person standing in this puddle of water, looking at her faintly.
She screamed, brandished her sword and slashed at the other party, and hissed: "I am not afraid of you, I am not afraid of the living, will I still be afraid of the dead?" I'll hack you, hack you! ”
Finally, exhausted, she took the sword out of her hand and fell into the water with a "clang".
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps hurrying in, and the maid Xiangchuan opened the door and ran to her, and cried out in astonishment and worry: "Madam, ma'am, what's wrong with you?" ”
Meng Shi looked directly at Xiang Chuan: "Where have you been?" Where have you been early in the morning?! Yes?! ”
In the end, the voice has turned into a shouting and questioning, and if Xiang Chuan can't answer well, she will take Xiang Chuan's life.
Xiang Chuan was frightened and frightened, and hurriedly explained: "You said last night that you have a bad appetite recently, and asked the maid to get up in the morning to stew bird's nest porridge for you, and the maid counted that the hour was almost up, so she went to the kitchen to work on it......"
Meng remembered that there was such a thing, but she still didn't believe it: "Who can testify to you?" ”
Xiang Chuan said: "The cook is also there, she is guarding it at this time." ”
It's embarrassing to talk about it.
After Lin Yuanqing's death, the family fortune of the Lin Mansion plummeted, the Meng family was not good at management, the two sons could only study and were not good at housework, and there were no figures in the family who could hold up the scene.
No matter how much Meng Shi has a heart higher than the sky and many means, she is powerless to return to the sky, but she still wants to continue to live in this Lin'an city with her two sons, and continue to be the wife of the king of Lin'an County, and she doesn't want to go back to the countryside in obscurity.
So we can only reduce expenses and streamline people.
She only left a maid by her side to serve Xiangchuan closely, and she was worried that the precious ingredients of bird's nest would be embezzled by the cook, so all the precious supplements had to be manipulated by Xiangchuan herself.
In this way, it is reasonable that Xiang Chuan will not serve in the room this morning.
And the reason why she left Xiangchuan is precisely because Xiangchuan is reliable and credible, which is deeply liked by her.
Meng Shi returned to his thoughts, and his heart beat faster: "You came here just now, what did you see?" ”
Xiang Chuan said: "The maid didn't see anything, I heard you shouting from afar, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly ran over, but I didn't see anything." ”
Meng Shi stared at Xiang Chuan stubbornly, and saw that she really showed no signs of lying, so he pushed Xiang Chuan away, lowered his head and bent over, staring at the string of watery women's footprints and looking out.
I saw the watery footprints go all the way down the corridor, and forward, and then under the steps, and vanished beside the flowers, beside a well for watering the flowers.
The well was drenched with water, as if the man had crawled out of the well, walked to her door, and then followed the way back to the well.
"Ma'am?" Xiang Chuan saw that Meng Shi's face was ugly, so she supported her worriedly: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Don't touch me!" Meng Shi suddenly screamed, waved away Xiang Chuan's hand vigorously, his gray lips trembled, his eyes went straight back, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid of you, if you have the ability, you can let the horse come......"
Xiang Chuan felt a chill arise from the soles of his feet, quickly wrapping around his limbs and body, and his shoulders and back were cold.
She turned around and ran out in fear: "Big young master, big young master, it's not good, Madam is in a nightmare!" ”
Lin Dashao is preparing to take his younger brother to study - since Lin Yuanqing's death, he can be regarded as understanding the hot and cold world, and he is getting up early and sleeping late all day to study hard, trying to restore his former glory through scientific research.
Hearing Xiang Chuan's cry, he scolded very unhappily: "What's the fuss in the early morning? What a system to panic into! ”
Xiang Chuan said in horror: "It's the haunted in the lady's room!" Madame is scared! ”
"Zi is silent and blames the gods, you cheap woman dare to talk nonsense!" Lin Ershao shouted and scolded, and wanted to call the little girl: "Drag this uncovered out and slap her mouth!" ”
Xiang Chuan never expected such an end, and blushed with anger: "The maid kindly came to report the news, but the two young masters not only didn't ask the reason and didn't care about the lady, but they wanted to beat and scold the maid?" Speaking of the servant or the person in the room of the two young masters, you sages have read a lot, why don't you understand this truth? ”
Lin Ershao wanted to argue, but was stopped by Lin Dashao: "Xiangchuan leads the way, let's go with you to take a look." ”
Xiang Chuan described in detail what she heard and saw: "I don't know what happened, there were water stains and footprints on the ground, the door was closed, and I didn't know how I got in, and Madame was frightened......"
The two brothers rushed to Meng's room, but seeing that the water stains on the ground were gone, Meng sat in front of the window and dressed up calmly, and when they saw them coming, they glanced lightly: "What are you fuss about?" ”
There was no symptom of panic or panic as described by Xiang Chuan.
Lin Dashao looked at Xiang Chuan suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”
Xiang Chuan was dumbfounded: "Madam...... You just ......"
"I'm nothing." Meng Shi raised his hand to gently support his sideburns, and got up elegantly: "Bring me the bird's nest porridge." You two are still going back to study, and if you still want to go back to your old days, and you must not waste it for a while, I will count on you! ”
