Chapter 781: Retreat (1)
Miss, Miss Table is here. ”
When the curtain in front of the door was opened, it was against the light, and Song Mingzhen was shrouded in a shadow, which made people a little unreal.
Shen Junjiu could only vaguely see that she was wearing a purple cloak, and a pearl pendant hanging from her waist swayed slightly as she walked, and when she got closer, she saw Song Mingzhen's appearance clearly.
"You ......"
Shen Junjiu looked at Song Mingzhen's neck wrapped in white cloth in shock, and when his eyes fell on the blood oozing from it, he couldn't help but say, "How did you make this appearance?" ”
Song Mingzhen smiled: "I was accidentally burned by the fire." ”
Shen Junjiu frowned slightly and looked at Song Mingzhen, not believing her at all.
Song Mingzhen is such a smart person, she first saw through her mind earlier, and later she could detect that Song Xuanrong was wrong, and set fire to the east courtyard to alarm the people outside to save them, so how could she ignore herself and the Wang family before setting the fire.
Shen Junjiu knew how big the East Courtyard was, and there were several ponds in the inner lake, and there were many water pavilions and spacious places to hide people.
Even if the fire was terrifying, it was impossible to burn down the entire East Courtyard at one moment.
How could there be no hiding place in that huge place?
"You did it on purpose?" Shen Junjiu said.
Song Mingzhen didn't guard against her, or felt that it was useless to guard against this situation at the moment, so she nodded and explained:
"It's not all, I originally just wanted to burn my arms and back, which can be hidden in my clothes on weekdays, and now I can shock people, but then I didn't prevent the beam from collapsing, and I accidentally let the flames burn to my neck in order to protect my mother."
When she said that she was burned by fire, she calmly talked about other people's things.
When Holly untied her cloak, she revealed her wrapped arms like zongzi.
Seeing Shen Junjiu frowning at her, his eyes were full of disapproval.
Song Mingzhen said: "I know what you mean, my mother and I were indeed able to escape safely, but the Song family suddenly caught fire, and the fire spread throughout the East Courtyard, even alarming the people outside. ”
"I wasn't sure what was going on in the Yuyin Hall at the time, but after you set the fire rashly, you had to leave a way out for me and my mother."
She had forgotten some things at that time and wanted to ask the girl next to the Wang family to tell Shen Junjiu, but the girl came back and said that Shen Junjiu and Shen Xinzhen led Imperial Doctor Yu to Yuyin Hall in a hurry.
It didn't take long for the East Courtyard to be surrounded by people, not to mention her, even the Wang family was trapped here, and those maids couldn't go out for half a step.
There was a little girl who brought food over before that she said that there were many unfamiliar faces in the house during this time, and those people all looked at Kong Wuli and forcefully, not like a servant of the house, and then it didn't take long for the atmosphere outside to become tense, and she vaguely heard people outside in the courtyard saying that there was a fight in Yuyintang.
Although Song Mingzhen is trapped in the East Courtyard, there are many things to follow.
The Song family had just come out of Song Yuxing's mess, and it should have been Taoguang Yanghui who was exceptionally quiet, but Mrs. Song first pretended to be sick and deceived the Shen family brothers and sisters to come over, and suddenly there were more strangers in the house.
There is only one possibility for all these signs.
Song Xuanrong wanted to attack the Shen family brothers and sisters.
Although Song Mingzhen kept telling herself intellectually that no matter how stupid Song Xuanrong was, he would not dare to blatantly assassinate Shen Junjiu and them in the mansion, but that bad premonition made her sit still.
