Chapter 207 The Murderer

At the end of the fifteenth year, the beginning of the new year. Everything is back to normal, and the imperial city is still bustling and lively.

Ji was preparing for the marriage in the house, and Aunt Ji personally prepared it, took the two little guys, went out early and returned late, and went to buy it busily. Everywhere you go, you must shop around and choose the most inexpensive. Although she is a concubine, she can't treat the pothos badly, after all, she has the next generation of their Ji family in her belly.

On this day, when she walked to the West Market, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

She asked the little guy on the side, "Ergou, look at the one in front, is it a pothos?" ”

Ergou glanced in the direction pointed by Aunt Ji, and couldn't see it really, "Old lady, which one are you talking about?" Aunt Ji was anxious, so she threw down the second dog and chased forward by herself.

Although in the past few days, Ji Changge has indeed changed, and his attitude towards pothos has improved greatly, and he took her to the street for a walk on the day of the Lantern Festival. But the pothos also seems to have something on her mind, and in private, Aunt Ji was distracted when she saw her alone a few times. Xu is a woman who thinks wildly when she is first pregnant, so she is a little worried when she sees Pothos alone on the street.

Aunt Ji chased the pothos to the alley, but she saw from a distance who she was talking to, and she was puzzled at the moment. When she talks to people on weekdays, she gestures, but at this moment she is face to face with the person, except for the occasional nod, and there is no movement.

She didn't move forward, just silently exited the alley.

Ergou almost lost people, and after seeing Aunt Ji again, he patted his thigh, "Old lady, I can be regarded as looking for you, don't go alone in the future, don't let the little one worry!" Aunt Ji saw Ergou running back and forth, sweating profusely, and also smiled, "You are young and young, and you can't catch up with my old woman's legs and feet, are you ashamed!" Ergou blushed and scratched his cheeks, muttering, "I didn't see the direction you went, and I ran back and forth a few times." ”

When Aunt Ji returned home with the little girl, she found that the pothos had returned, and she was sitting in the flower hall and doing female red.

Although Aunt Ji had doubts, she still didn't show them, and asked her quietly, "This woman can't sit for a long time when she has a body, and she didn't go out of the house to go around today?" The green pothos shook her head slightly, smiled slightly, and pointed to the embroidery on her hand, indicating that she had been busy with the work in her hands today and had never been anywhere.

In this way, Aunt Ji felt suspicious.

It's just that she is kind-hearted, and she doesn't look like a bad person in the pothos, so she decided to secretly observe her for a while, and not mention this matter to Ji Changge first. A few days later, on the birthday of the Buddha, there is a Buddhist puja in the Guanyin Pavilion in the south of the city. Aunt Ji has always been a believer in Buddhism, so she thought of taking this opportunity to pay respects, which can be regarded as asking for some blessings for the marriage between Ji Changge and Pothos, and praying for the blessings of the child in the womb of Pothos.

Before she went out, she carefully told the people in the house, and also explained that she would stay in the Guanyin Pavilion tonight, and the Ming Dynasty would only return after listening to the morning bell and burning the incense stick. Guanyin Pavilion has always asked for help, and she also heard Mrs. Li say it that day. A month ago, Mrs. Li gave birth to a child within the year, and the news that the mother and child were safe made her a little envious. If the pothos can also give birth to a boy, he will be a boy in the Ji family one day.

When people arrived at the Guanyin Pavilion, everything was ready, but when praying for blessings, they had to offer their belongings to the shrine, and Aunt Ji remembered that she was in a hurry to go out, and she had time to bring the belongings of Ji Changge and Luluo in the future. She thought that the girl who accompanied her did not know the rules, and took some things to disrespect the gods, so she asked the girl to stay in the Buddhist hall and went back to get it herself.

After returning home, she was going to pick up a common thing with the pothos, but she couldn't find the pothos. I asked the people, but no one noticed where the pothos went.

Aunt Ji thought that the pothos was going out, so she first went to Ji Changge's room to get a belt that he usually tied. Turning out, I heard a slight noise passing by the study, but the door was hidden. She was curious and went over to look, and when she pushed the door in, she saw at a glance that Pothos was holding a pen on the desk and writing something on the paper. When he entered, the pothos was full of panic but had no time to hide it.

"Pothos, you...... What are you doing? Aunt Ji was surprised.

Isn't pothos illiterate? Now that she writes neatly on paper, although Aunt Ji is not literate, she can also recognize some simple gestures. She walked to the desk and took a look, and found that the green pothos was trying to copy the contents of Ji Changge's previous document file, and she had already written a lot, and the ink on it had not dried.

Aunt Ji was stunned for a moment, and her expression became solemn, "These things are official documents, I'm afraid you can't touch them." ”

Luluo was flustered at first, but gradually calmed down, looked at Aunt Ji, and suddenly spoke, "Since you have seen it, then I can't blame you." "What? Can you speak? When Aunt Ji reacted, she didn't want to be the last sentence she left in the world in this life.

After half a pillar of incense, the pothos changed into Aunt Ji's clothes, untied her bun, coiled it into a woman's hairstyle, and made her sideburns white, dressed her body to be a little similar to her and went straight out. In the past, Aunt Ji walked stride down the aisle in her hometown, not like an ordinary woman. Pothos dressed as Aunt Ji and rushed out of the door, only asking the guards and servants in front of the hospital to see her shadow, but she didn't see the real person.

Everyone only said that Aunt Ji was anxious about the Buddha, and did not doubt it much.

Until that night, the girl who was guarding the Guanyin Pavilion did not wait for Aunt Ji to come before she panicked and rushed back to report the news.

Ji Changge was shocked, and immediately sent someone out to look for it, all the way along the official road out of the city to the Guanyin Pavilion in the south of the city, and after looking for half a night, he didn't see the figure of Ji Da Niang. also inquired with the guards at the city gate, and asked about the shops that Aunt Ji frequented, but there was no news.

The next day, even Jingzhao Mansion knew that Ji Mansion had lost an old lady.

Previously, the attack on General Ji Changge's mansion has not yet been settled, and the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion felt guilty about Ji Changge, so he was more attentive in this matter, and almost sent most of the people in the palace to search carefully inside and outside the city, but there was no news.

The day before yesterday, Aunt Ji hurriedly returned to the house to get some things, and left the house in a hurry not long after. Even the masters and nuns of the Guanyin Pavilion were invited to the palace to inquire one by one, but they found nothing.

On the third day, Xiao He also learned about this and came to visit.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao He saw that the people in the courtyard were dismantling the red silk and lanterns on the porch.

"Brother Ji, I was originally going to have a happy event?" Seeing this situation, Xiao He was slightly surprised, "Which girl did you marry?" Ji Changge sighed, the clouds did not disperse, and he replied in a secret voice, "Don't hide it from Brother Xiao, it is the pothos with the girl in my house." is scheduled to be accepted as a concubine on the second day of the next month. There are still more than ten days, and my mother is concerned about this matter, and it is impossible to disappear for no reason, maybe ......"

He frowned, not daring to think deeply, so he stopped.

Xiao He was suspicious, "Brother Ji, can you let me meet Miss Luluo alone?" ”

Although Ji Changge didn't understand why Xiao He wanted to see the pothos alone, he immediately responded, so he went to call the pothos out, left the two of them alone in the house, exited the room by himself, and brought the door.

The green pothos looked at Xiao He Yingying, but she looked gentle and shy, but it made Xiao He frown. If she was really just an ordinary mute girl, but the person sent by Murong to Ji Changge's side was by no means ordinary.

"Aunt Ji's disappearance, can it be related to you?" Xiao He was not ambiguous, and asked straight to the point.

Pothos shook her head, pretending not to know. Xiao He took a step forward and stared at her, "I really don't know?" What's on your hands? Hearing this, the green pothos hurriedly looked down at the palms of her hands.

Xiao He's eyebrows moved slightly, and he reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Say!" Where did you hide Aunt Ji? ”

The pothos struggled twice, but couldn't break free, and in a hurry, the other hand came out to attack Xiao He. Xiao He stretched out his hand to block, and the two of them made a close move in the hall. Within ten moves, the pothos was no longer Xiao He's opponent, and she was restrained by a little force, so she couldn't move at all.

There was not much noise inside, but Ji Changge was a martial arts practitioner, and he could hear some of it, so he asked out loud, "What's going on inside?" ”

Xiao He turned around and was about to answer him, but the pothos took the opportunity to stretch out his foot and kick down the side of the table, the teacup and teapot fell to the ground, and the sound of the porcelain breaking was crisp. Xiao He instantly understood that she was deliberately trying to make this sound to attract Ji Changge in.

Sure enough, when Ji Changge heard that the things inside were broken, he didn't care much about it, and pushed the door in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao He pressing the pothos with one hand, and the fragments of teacups on the ground were scattered everywhere. "You ......" he looked at Xiao He, his eyes were a little puzzled, "Brother Xiao, what is this for?" Please let it go. After Xiao He let go of his hand, the green pothos hurriedly ran to Ji Changge's side, looking aggrieved, and pulling Ji Changge's sleeve with tears flashing, as if Xiao He had done something unsightly to her.

Xiao He glared at the green pothos coldly, "Do you think you can hide it?" Don't you want to say where to hide Aunt Ji? ”

Ji Changge was also stunned when he heard this, and glanced back at the pothos, looking at him in disbelief. The pothos just shook her head, and tears fell like broken beads. Ji Changge turned his head to look at Xiao He, "Brother Xiao, why do you suspect her?" She's just a weak woman......"

Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly, "If you are a thief with a weak heart, you will definitely show your feet when you act!" Not to mention anything else, just because she knows martial arts, don't you think there's anything strange about this? Ji Changge looked at the pothos, her tears did not stop, her face was pale, her hands were tightly grasping Ji Changge's sleeves, and she looked at him with an expectant and pleading expression, making him hesitate.

"Is there some misunderstanding in this? Pothos, she is already my concubine, and ...... And she's pregnant. Don't mention the matter of chasing the wind and shadows. Ji Changge seemed to have used great courage to say this to Xiao He. By the time he finished speaking, he had already turned his head away, and he didn't dare to look directly into Xiao He's eyes.

"Pregnant?" Xiao He looked at the flat abdomen of the pothos, and his heart was even more suspicious.
