Chapter 110 The mastermind behind the scenes
Jumping down from the courtyard wall with a "poof", Yan Xiaowei had the time to shake off the dust sticking to her body, untied the two belts that were tightly tied together, and tied them one by one to her waist, and said to Yaxiang on the side: "Wait, are you in a hurry?" ”
Ya Xiang really flattened her mouth when she heard this: "But no, second girl, why did you go in for so long and crawl out of that small door?" Aunt Liu didn't drink that bowl of medicine, right? ”
Yan Xiaowei shook her head: "I secretly threw some dirty things in her medicine bowl, and she didn't drink it." ”
Ya Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with her hand: "It's great, it scares me to death." If something happens to this Aunt Liu, Lingxiang will definitely be the first to be unlucky, fortunately! ”
Yan Xiaowei is not as optimistic as her, although Aunt Liu didn't drink this bowl of medicine and didn't get a plan, it doesn't mean that the mastermind behind it will give up!
Although this incident is not aimed at her, it is inextricably linked to her in the dark, and it is impossible to pretend not to know and stand by again.
Because, maybe the next target of that person is her!
She remembered the pair of peeping eyes behind the bookshelf in the dark room just now, if it wasn't for Aunt Li, there was a good chance that she would also be her accomplice hiding in Tingfengzhai. Now the top priority is to test Lingxiang to see how much she knows about this matter, and whether the mastermind behind the scenes is Liu's or Aunt Liu's self-directed and self-acting!
Yan Xiaoyun followed Ya Xiang to dodge the maid in the house and walked back to Mufeng Courtyard with her heart in mind, but she was still thinking about what she saw and heard today.
If everything written in the books that Aunt Liu showed her is true, then her biological mother He Xixin was assassinated, and although this revenge has been separated for more than ten years, it still has to be avenged!
However, on Aunt Liu's side, there are always some things that are suspicious and cannot be fully trusted. For example, she looked heartbroken after she slipped the tire, but when she saw her today, she was calm, as if she was just sick, which was completely different from the appearance she presented in front of Father Yan and everyone in the morning. Moreover, she is usually proud of Father Yan's pampering, her eyes are above the top, and she is a very jealous woman. However, today's speech and action show an extraordinary posture, as if her usual unpopular appearance is pretended, which is unpredictable.
She scratched her head irritably, and suddenly remembered that when she was lying on her stomach on the roof, Aunt Liu had told Aunt Li that she would send the medicine for the night to Mufeng Courtyard to boil, so it was better to wait for Aunt Li to deliver the medicine, and then try to test it.
Although Yan Xiaowei thought so, until the moon rose to the willows, let alone Aunt Li, her Mufeng Courtyard had never been a mosquito.
She looked at Ya Xiang who was dozing off on the table in front of her, and suddenly clumped the scribbled handwriting that she had unintentionally copied, put the wolf in her hand on the table, and stood up from the chair.
Ya Xiang was shocked by her movements and suddenly woke up, looked around in a panic, and her face was pressed into several folds by her clothes: "What's wrong, what's wrong with the second girl?" ”
Yan Xiaowei was silent, beckoning to her and motioning for her to follow.
Ya Xiang just woke up, and followed her to the small kitchen in a daze, and saw her squatting down to light the fire in the stove, and woke up in an instant, and hurriedly took the fire fold: "Second girl, are you hungry?" Let it go, let me do it! ”
Yan Xiaowei didn't say much, she was kind enough to let her light a fire, and quickly made a plate of plum vegetables and meat, and splashed bamboo shoots with oil, and when she saw that it was not enough, she simply cooked a fish soup with two small crucian carp, and even found a jar of plum wine from the inside.
Ya Xiang saw her drinking for the first time, so she hurriedly reached out and took it, wiped the floating ash on the mouth of the altar with a handkerchief, and kindly advised: "Second girl, don't look at this as fruit wine, but it is with strong sorghum wine, and the stamina is great!" You can't drink too much! ”
Yan Xiaowei glanced at her: "Who said I was going to drink." ”
Yaxiang was stunned: "What are you doing if you don't drink it?" ”
Yan Xiaowei took out a food box from the cupboard and put the dishes neatly and neatly, and said to her, "It's not me who drinks, it's you who want to drink." ”
Ya Xiang was even more surprised, even opened her mouth, and waved her hand desperately: "No, no, girl, I don't know how to drink, I blush if I get a little dip!" ”
Yan Xiaowei didn't care about this, and put the food box and wine jar into her arms: "It's not that you drink it all yourself, it's that you quietly go to Tingfeng Zhai to find Lingxiang and Aunt Li to drink." ”
Seeing Ya Xiang looking at her in embarrassment, she patted her shoulder comfortingly: "There's no need to be burdened, just let you go and have a meal with the two of them." You can skip the wine, but make sure you let both of them drink it. ”
Ya Xiang blinked her two big eyes innocently: "But, what reason do I use to find the two of them, Aunt Liu is sick now and needs manpower, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to ask the two of them to drink at this time, right?" They certainly won't be able to spare it. ”
Yan Xiaoyan squeezed her shoulder twice: "You just said that in the past two days, after seeing the two of them busy for Aunt Liu's affairs, they feel hard and want to relieve their worries, don't mention me." At this time, Aunt Liu has already fallen asleep, so you don't have to worry about this. Try to get them to drink as much as possible and see if they can get something out of their mouths after drinking. For example, what is the bag of things that I saw during the day, where did it come from, who gave it, etc. ”
After that, she reached out and rubbed the top of Yaxiang's head with a bitter face: "Someone put something in Aunt Liu's medicine bowl today that shouldn't be put in, if this matter is investigated, it will be inseparable from Lingxiang and them." Although Lingxiang should have been forced, we obviously asked Lingxiang that she would definitely not tell the truth, so she could only ask while she was drunk. If she doesn't succeed once, the person will definitely come a second time, and when she really succeeds, then Lingxiang will be pushed into the fire pit. It's up to you whether we can help with this matter! ”
As soon as Ling Xiang was said by her, she suddenly felt a big stone pressed on her chest, she couldn't free up her hands holding things with both hands at this time, if she could free her hands, she would definitely grab Yan Xiaoyi's sleeve as soon as possible.
So, she could only look at Yan Xiaowei pitifully, and kept begging: "Girl, I'm afraid I can't do it alone, can't you go with me?" ”
Yan Xiaowei shook her head slowly: "No, if you go, it will already cause them to be on guard, and if I go, I will even startle the snake." Don't feel any burden, just eat and chat casually, it's better to be able to get out of their mouths, if you can't get it, then let's find another way. ”
Ya Xiang nodded solemnly holding a bunch of things, and then slowly walked out of Mufeng Courtyard.
Yan Xiaowei looked at Ya Xiang's back, until she gradually faded away, and the light from the embroidery lamp could no longer be seen, so she half-squinted her eyes and raised her hands to pat them in the air.
Suddenly, the bamboo window "hula", only to see a black shadow flashing, a man in black neatly turned over and landed, the black veil covered his face, leaving only a pair of slender eyebrows. Although he was dressed intimidatingly, he deliberately collected all the momentum on his body, and his hands hung respectfully at his sides: "Miss Yan, what are your orders?" ”
Yan Xiaowei was a little embarrassed in an instant, it stands to reason that this shadow guard was only sent by Rong Xiu to protect her, but now she wants them to help do something else, so the words turned around her mouth several times, but she couldn't speak, she could only stare at the silhouette under the candlelight of the shadow guard and be stunned.
The man in black seemed to see her contradictions, and said in a deep voice: "If Miss Yan has any orders, just say that the second son had already changed our nationality when he assigned a few of us to Miss Yan, and now our master is not the second son, but Miss Yan." As long as you speak, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, even if it is an enemy of the second son, we will not hesitate! ”
Yan Xiaoyun was stunned by his words, and said quietly for a while: "Rong Xiu told you this?" Even if I am an enemy of him, I want you to help me? ”
The man in black nodded solemnly: "Yes, that's what the second son said." ”
Yan Xiaowei didn't expect Rong Xiu to explain these things to the shadow guard behind his back, and a huge move struck, and an indescribable shock was aroused in his heart.
Before she had time to taste it, she saw the urging gaze of the man in black, she reluctantly wrapped her mind and said, "Well, that's the case, a few of you are more good at hiding, and I can only ask you for this matter." Yaxiang just went to Tingfeng Zhai, I want you to go to Tingfeng Zhai to watch, to see if anyone in Tingfeng Zhai sneaks out, and where does it go if you sneak out. If there is, you must follow her, remember where she went, met someone, and come back to tell me, if not, forget it. ”
The man in black received the order, and Wuzi took his two brothers to Tingfeng Zhai in the moonlight, and the rest remained in Mufeng Courtyard.
After he left, silence regained in Mufeng Courtyard, Yan Xiaowei picked up the wolf hair again, sat on the chair for a long time without writing a word, only heard the night wind whistling through the treetops, making a rustling sound.
In fact, she asked Ya Xiang to listen to Feng Zhai, and what she said was to let her get drunk with Aunt Li and Ling Xiang so that she could get something out of their mouths. However, in fact, she knew very well in her heart that Yaxiang's departure was mostly in vain. No matter who Aunt Li is doing for her, it is impossible to easily explain the master behind the scenes, which has little to do with whether she is drunk or not.
Even though he knew this, he still let Yaxiang go, just to test the reaction of these people.
If Aunt Li is really from the Liu family, how could she not see the purpose of Ya Xiang's temptation, she will inevitably leave the Liu family clean. However, if she fails to drug Aunt Liu today, she will most likely report to the Liu family and discuss the next thing. In this way, no matter when she or anyone else comes out to listen to Fengzhai, as long as she contacts the Liu family, it will be in the hands of the shadow guard.
On the contrary, if Aunt Li is Aunt Liu's person, she will definitely indirectly remind Yaxiang in her words that Liu is the mastermind behind it. The cliff incense went here, just because of her way, and sent it to the door. Even if the shadow guard is listening to the wind, it is estimated that he will not gain anything.
I don't know how long later, there was a sound of gently knocking on the door panel outside, Yan Xiaowei suddenly came back to her senses, lowered her head, and saw that the rice paper on the table was scribbled into a ball of black ink by her at some point, and a large ink mark was also glued to the cuffs, and immediately threw away the wolf in her hand, hurriedly walked to the door, and asked vigilantly: "Who?" ”
