Chapter 69: Three Moments of Ugliness
The sunset sank into the back of the peaks, but the glow turned sideways like a sky, pouring out the brilliance.
The breeze is still scarce, and the occasional wisp of it has calmed down before it becomes a sound.
When it was time for Zhou to take the medicine again, there were more servant girls than usual, and they supervised each other and watched out for each other, obviously still suspicious of today's case.
Aunt Zhen knelt on the footstep, she handed the porcelain bowl in her hand to the maid, and then took the water handed by another maid, served Zhou's mouthwash, and waited for Zhou's to lean on the pillow weakly, she lifted the thin jacket slightly up, covering Zhou's lower abdomen, at this time she should have retired, and Zhou didn't dare to say anything to her, and still pretended to be tired.
The maidservant who had already meditated on behalf of her sent Aunt Zhen out and walked down the corridor, seemingly appeased by the Zhou family, but in fact it seemed that she finally couldn't help but talk to someone about what had happened in the past few days.
"The old man is suspicious and contemplative, when we pay attention to a few times, don't say that my wife can't believe it, even I, where can I dare to believe that Ning Si has so much malice and so much courage, I have identified her, it is indeed the same as words and deeds, and I treat my wife only with bare courage and loyalty, people are wooden, and our strengths are also stereotyped in this wood, how did I expect that we have a pair of white eyes, over the years, we have all mistaken her, Mrs. is so good to her, she dares to ......" said a long sigh: "These days, Mrs. has not been in good spirits, today I heard that Ning Si confessed her guilt, we still dare not tell Mrs. that she has committed suicide, and Mrs. 's heart has been broken. ”
Aunt Zhen also said: "I want to come here with Ning Si, or enter here together, and we have received a lot of favors from the old lady, I really didn't expect that Ning Si would be lacking in people's hearts, she admitted today that it was because of love and hatred for the uncle, and we didn't even see it at all." ”
"It's not like that, or how can there be that sentence that people are unpredictable, and those who are slaves and slaves are most taboo because they don't have self-knowledge."
After quietly discussing today's events for a long time, before I knew it, the two of them had gone around the yard a few times, and the maid remembered that she was on duty, so she said goodbye to Aunt Zhen, she really didn't know that Aunt Zhen was a murderer who "slipped through the net", and this performance was impossible to startle the snake.
Aunt Jane returned to the room where she lived alone, and inexplicably felt a suspicious snooping gaze, she closed the door and lowered the bamboo curtain with some irritability, making sure that all prying eyes were cut off, but the spy that followed her back like a man, did not seem to disappear at all.
Her heart was even more impetuous, and she couldn't help but wonder: Could it be because of repeated setbacks in her actions that she would have such a delusion?
When I think about it, it's been a while, as if there is always a pair of eyes that are just in front of her to examine the measurements, but there is clearly no half a figure on her left and right.
If it weren't for this inexplicable illusion, she was worried and didn't dare to have close contact with Ning Si and talk for too long, maybe she would be able to make the plan more perfect, so that she wouldn't be confirmed by Zhao Zhizhou's son.
Fortunately, although Ning Si was exposed, he took all the crimes, although the surnamed Zhao was still suspicious of Wang San, looking at Wang San's attitude, he didn't seem to be worried about not being able to get rid of the crime, and it was natural, he didn't participate in the action at all, except for the first time to see Wang Jiugui, but what does this mean?
Fortunately, Wang San is not Adou, he was frightened by this, and he could realize that Ning Si and himself were by no means ordinary women, and he must have a way to help him get out of trouble.
But it can't be delayed for too long, otherwise if the surnamed Zhao tortures Wang San, he can't keep the son and brother who has always been pampered, so he will soften his back and confess to her.
Although she does not seem to meditate, there are ways to get out of trouble, and there should be no worries about life and death, but once the matter is leaked, it is inevitable that years of hard work will be in vain, and she cannot explain to her master, only the end of the world, which is contrary to the faith she obeys.
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhen pushed the door open again, she looked at it slightly, as if admiring the bewitching glow of the sky, and her beautiful face seemed to add a little charm.
Slowly leaving this courtyard, as if taking a leisurely stroll, walking in the direction of the back garden, and turning the road from a bend of the moon gate, the nasty shadow of the peeping sensation is still there, but Aunt Zhen concentrated on listening, she did not find that there was a tracking step behind her.
According to her skills, ordinary people can't escape her ears as long as they are within thirty steps, unless that person is also very good and can fall silently.
Aunt Zhen doesn't think that there is another top master in the family of businessmen, Wang Jiugui, how can he be virtuous?!
It is the path between the jasmine trees to the west, the Zhu Gate is lightly covered, the peach branch is lonely, push away and go inside, a servant woman is cleaning the courtyard, this courtyard is not inhabited, but many potted plants are placed, there are usually seven or eight servant women here to take care of it, at this time the inner house is close to the key, leaving only a servant woman in her thirties on duty, she is tall and tall, slender hands and feet, when she sees Aunt Zhen, her eyes suddenly look around vigilantly.
It's her!!!
When Wang Ping'an's eyeliner was all removed, only Qu Chu was still behind Aunt Zhen, and when she saw the servant woman who met her, Qu Chu shouted in annoyance.
Yesterday, Aunt Zhen saw this servant woman, but this servant woman was sending potted plants to the main courtyard, Aunt Zhen and her close whispers, Qu out really couldn't hear what they were talking about, so they ignored it, and didn't tell Chun Gui, but when they saw Aunt Zhen come to meet this servant woman again today, Qu Chuchu immediately woke up to the fact that there must be collusion between the two.
Aunt Jane is really keen, she should have felt the prying eyes, so she passed the news in a whispered way from a woman.
But at this moment, after Aunt Zhen repeatedly made sure that no one was watching, she no longer had too many scruples, because the important thing now was not to be cautious, even if she was ruined, she would do her best to complete the task.
"What's going on today, even I've heard about it, why did I miss it?" The servant woman asked.
"Now is not the time to talk about that." Aunt Zhen is still not at ease: "Do you feel that someone is snooping?" ”
"Where are people, we are standing in the courtyard in the open air, even if someone breaks in at this time, they can't hear what we are talking about!"
"Then you can listen well, tonight, I decided to go to Wang Dalang's residence to assassinate him, but he escaped death today, maybe there will be a nursing home to guard the residence, just in case, I want you to act with me."
"The exact hour?"
"It's ugly."
Qu Chu was surprised to find that the two of them each took out a pocket watch from the placket, right to the time - the Wang family is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, a concubine, a slave and maid, both used imported goods, Qu Chu remembered that Mrs. Shen got a piece that year, and cherished it as a treasure, although it looked more gorgeous than the two in their hands, but this is not the point.
With such sophisticated equipment, and openly agreed to kill people when the night is dark and the wind is high, this news is too shocking to the soul, and I need to inform the spring return, right? But that person has already gone back to Fenyang City, although the canal is not a mortal fetus, floating to go is indeed more time-saving and labor-saving than walking, but in the end, it is more than 30 miles away from the city, and no matter how fast it is to go back and forth, it will have to delay some time, although it will not miss the moment of the murder, but what if other arrangements are missed?
By the way, and the Bai family!
Qu Chu happily decided to let Bai run errands, and she remained here.
She saw Aunt Zhen just talking like this, and she also picked a palm-sized bonsai, and still went back to her residence with her hand, but she didn't completely give up her caution, at least even if she met someone on the road and asked about her whereabouts, the bonsai in her hand was a reason.
In this scorching summer, the days are relatively long, but when the moon rises in the middle of the sky, the night is deep.
The bell in the hall is no longer ringing on the hour, but the sound of the night watchman, and it will come from afar when the third watch arrives.
Aunt Zhen has been lying on her bed for a long time, not tossing and turning, but she doesn't want to sleep at all, but she needs to pretend to be on time, so she turned off the lights early, and watched the moonlight diffuse into the carved window little by little, stretching the light and shadow like silver frost inch by inch.
But the time for action is not yet there.
She remembered that when she first came to the Wang family, it had been six years, and she should have just reached the age of Lu, she had passed the test of murder and become a proud dead man, but her career seemed to be a little different from what she had imagined at first, and she was inevitably confused.
Why she was so carefully cultivated that she could only hide in the home of an ordinary merchant, she knew very well the task she was bound to accomplish, but she was puzzled by whether this task was worthwhile.
To this day, Aunt Jane hadn't even figured it out.
But it doesn't matter either.
The important thing is success or failure, just tonight, and in another hour.
