Chapter 4 Planting Blame
"Open the door!" Before dawn, I heard the sound of "popping" knocking on the door.
Murong Xun opened her eyes, and there was a hint of forbearance and a cold smile in her eyes like thick ink, and she got up and put on a dress to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, it was pushed vigorously, and then a woman with a few maids and women squeezed in, as if she was afraid that she would miss something if she entered the door a moment later.
Murong Xun rubbed his eyes and asked respectfully, "Do you have any business?" ”
The woman is now the Chen family, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Murong Xun looked at the green bracelet on her wrist, and smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth. At this time, Chen glared at Murong Xun indifferently, and commanded a few maids behind him and said, "Search, give me a careful search!" ”
A few maids and wives went as if competing for favor, turned on the lamp, turned over the cabinets, and began to search. At this time, Chen glanced at Murong Xun and said lightly: "There is a piece of clothing in the clothes sent earlier, and the lady is wearing a piece of Ruyi auspicious jade pendant in it, and the maid carelessly forgot to take it off." I didn't find the clothes I got back today, and Madame's clothes were all handled by you, which was Madame's beloved thing, so Madame sent me to you to see if it fell on you! ”
Murong smiled clearly, clenched his fists to the side, and said with a smile: "You have to look carefully!" ”
After a long time, the maid shook her head at Chen with a look of disappointment. At this time, Chen's face sank, and he looked at a little maid on the side with a bit of majesty. The little maid was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Impossible, you look carefully, I put it under the pillow with my own hands!" ”
Chen's face changed, he glared at the little girl, raised his hand and slapped it, and scolded: "It turns out that you, the little hoof, stole the jade pendant of the lady, and you want to blame others!" He turned back to Murong Xun and said coldly: "Excuse me, let's go!" ”
As he spoke, several people left with the little girl who had stayed where they were, and suddenly the hut fell silent again.
Murong Xun looked at the jade pendant lying in the palm of her hand that was ordinary in color but had a peculiar shape that could be distinguished at a glance, which she had just obtained from Chen's body. Chen was the personal maid of the fourth aunt back then, and it was because of her shameless betrayal that the fourth aunt was burdened with unspeakable injustice.
You should also try all these flavors!

Following.
The eldest lady glanced at the trembling Chen family lightly, "Useless thing!" Let's go down! ”
Chan hurriedly retreated as if he had been granted amnesty.
At this time, the third aunt, who was playing a small fan for the eldest lady on the side, said in confusion: "Why bother dealing with such a little slut. Someone, please, wouldn't it be nice to just kill it? ”
The eldest lady glanced at the third aunt, "There are so many pairs of eyes in the house, there is still an explanation from the master." Then he smiled meaningfully: "Death is sometimes a relief for some people, and the most painful thing is to live and not to die." ”
"Is there any movement there, young master?" The eldest lady asked, and to her right stood a handsome maid of about sixteen or seventeen years of age, with a pretty face. The maid pondered her words for a moment and said, "The eldest young master still reads poems and paints every day, raises flowers and grass. When you're in the mood, go for a ride at the horse farm! ”
The eldest lady listened lightly, there was no joy or anger on her face, she glanced back at the little maid for a long time, slapped the table on the side with her right hand, and shouted angrily: "There are many young people who come and go from time to time, talk about the government and politics, and talk about the disadvantages of the times. What does he want to do, does a lowly concubine still want to soar? When will it be the turn of these three indiscriminate fingers! Such an important matter, even you little prostitute dare to hide it from me! When I'm dead? ”
The little maid's face turned pale suddenly, and she hurriedly knelt down and cried and begged: "Madame's forgiveness, the servant is lost for a while, the maid doesn't dare to deceive the lady, the maid doesn't dare anymore!" ”
The eldest lady waved her hand in annoyance, and said in a vicious tone: "Since they have all learned to lie, it is useless to keep this tongue!" Someone, cut out her tongue for me, and take her to the stable, since you are in love with the eldest young master, give you to the little servant who serves the horse, so that you can see the eldest young master every day! ”
The little maid was so frightened that she almost fainted, and almost forgot to beg for mercy, and was dragged out by several stout mothers-in-law. Soon after, I heard a terrible cry coming from the outer courtyard. A mother-in-law stepped forward with a mahogany tray and lifted the white cloth, revealing the bloody tongue of the little maid who had just been cut off.
The third aunt let out a "ah", suddenly turned pale, wiped the corners of her lips with Juanzi, and took a few steps back quietly. Only the eldest lady glanced at her face without changing her face, and said lightly: "Hey the dog!" ”
Not long after, another mother-in-law entered the house and said, "Ziyan's little hooves who don't want to be rationed to the little guy who raised horses just hit the wall and committed suicide!" ”
The eldest lady lightly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and suddenly remembered something, and said to the mother-in-law standing in front of her: "I heard that the eldest young master is precious to his horse, and he must find a cautious person to serve." I see that Murong Xun's girl is idle, so let's take good care of it! ”
"Yes!"
When the servant retreated, the third aunt said: "The eldest young master's horse is called Chi Mo, but he is a fierce man, and people are generally not allowed to approach, the last time, Shan'er wanted to ride it, and was almost thrown off the horse by that hateful beast." ”
The eldest lady smiled meaningfully, "I hope Chi Mo won't let me down!" ”
The third aunt rolled her eyebrows, and suddenly stroked her palms and smiled: "In this way, won't the eldest young master be inseparable!" Kill two birds with one stone, sister, you are really clever at this trick! ”
Just as the two were talking, they saw Chun Tao running anxiously, and said hurriedly: "Something happened madam, the second young master had a quarrel with the eldest princess's son in the eastern suburbs, and then the two fists and kicks each other, and the second young master beat people to death!" ”
"Ahh The eldest lady exclaimed, and sat down on the Taishi's chair with a pale face, "My son, how can this be! She looked at Chun Tao and asked, "Where is Childe now?" ”
"It was taken away by the capital Mansion Yin and imprisoned in the prison. Madame, you have to think of a way! ”
The third aunt was too surprised and said: "I heard that this person who has entered the prison will shed his skin if he does not die." Xuan'er, this child has been pampered since he was a child, and he will suffer that kind of hardship there! ”
"Shut up!" The eldest lady propped one hand on the edge of the table, "It's best if he dies there, it's best if our mother and son are dead, and it will be as you want!" After cutting her sideburns, the eldest lady forced her composure and immediately ordered Chun Tao, saying, "Hurry up and prepare the car, I'm going to the prison!" ”

"Is this Chi Mo?" I saw a jujube red horse in the horse shed in front of me, and the horse was eating grass with its head down. Its long mane was scattered, and every muscle on its body was full of Peng Bo's strength, so toned, and so solemn, like a victorious general, proud, and cold.
"Let's brush Chi Mo's hair first! Clean the stables and replace them with clean hay! An attendant pointed to the buckets, brushes and other utensils not far from the stable, "Chi Mo's temper is not very good, you should be careful yourself!" With that, the attendant departed.
Murong Xun looked at the horse in front of him, and his heart was full of admiration, and it aroused the pride in his heart that had not been aroused for a long time, and he remembered those enthusiastic and eventful years, "Such a good horse should be a majestic one on the battlefield, and it should not become a plaything in this decaying mansion!" ”
Chi Mo is like a well-bred teenager, chewing grass gracefully, but with indifferent alienation. disdainful of the women around him who look at him. The woman leaned in from the right side of the bucket and patted it on the neck. And Chi Mo snorted arrogantly, which can be regarded as a greeting.
Murong Xun saw that Chi Mo was quite obedient, so he picked up a brush to clean his mane. And at this moment, Chi Mo, who was quite obedient, suddenly neighed manically, and the horse's hooves moved restlessly. Seeing this, Murong Xun was alarmed in his heart, and hurriedly took a step back. But Chi Mo took the lead in making a move, and when he raised his hind legs, he kicked towards Mu her.
The strength of this foot is very strong, according to Murong Xun's light skills, it is easy to avoid it, but there are other working grooms in this stable, she doesn't want to attract attention at this time, so she was kicked by Chi Mo, but it was slightly off, and she was not injured to the point.
At this moment, Chi Mo became more and more manic, raising his two front hooves high, and the hissing sound was even more poignant. Murong Xun hurriedly rolled to the side so that he would not be injured by Chi Mo's hooves. However, Chi Mo seemed to be stimulated, and became angry, trying to escape the reins, and the pillar tied to one end of the rope shook violently, along with the entire grass shed.
Seeing that Chi Mo's fury had broken the pillar and the grass shed "snapped", Murong Xun jumped forward, grabbed Chi Mo's reins, and was taken out a few feet by it. The enraged fierce horse raised his front hooves and was about to kick Murong Xun, who had been dragged on the ground for some distance, but when she dodged and missed, Chi Mo was even more excited and continued to kick towards the woman under him. All around were indifferent horsemen, but no one came to their rescue.
Chi Mo's hooves fell again, and Murong Xun's eyes were full of murderous intent, afraid that he wanted to end the life of this beast. The poisonous needle was hidden between his fingers, just waiting for the beast to go berserk.
Just as the silver needles in Murong Xun's fingers were about to shoot out, a white shadow fluttered down, riding on Chi Mo's body, grabbing the horse's mane, and driving the horse's belly tightly with his legs. This move made the proud Chi Mo unacceptable, and it raised its horse's hooves high, and the neighing sound resounded through the sky.
Murong Xun hurriedly put away the poisonous needle in his hand, and at this time, he only felt a warm palm covering his shoulder, Murong Xun stiffened, quickly looked back, and broke into a pair of warm eyes.
How do you describe these eyes?
The amber eyes have a warm and sincere care, which makes people feel like they are bathed in the sun. I think when you are walking in the cold wilderness, someone will give you a padded jacket and a bowl of hot soup.
Or Murong Xun's induction was too cautious, causing the half-squatting man in front of her to be slightly stunned, and an apologetic look immediately rose in his eyes, "Did I scare you because I was too abrupt?" ”
Murong Xun hurriedly shook his head, looking at this person's clothing and bearing, he was afraid that he was a son, so he bowed down, pretending to be frightened by Chi Mo just now, and his shoulders were still trembling, "The maid has seen the son!" ”
The man was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, looking more and more gentle, he smiled gently, helped Murong Xun on the ground up, and said, "Have you been injured by that beast?" ”
Murong Xun took a step back, withdrew his arm from the man's warm palm, and replied with sincere fear: "The maid is fine, thank you for your concern!" ”
The man smiled, then withdrew his gaze to the man in white who was riding on horseback. And the man in white had already surrendered Chi Mo, quickly jumped off the horse, handed over the reins to the groom who rushed over, and said as he walked: "What's wrong with Chi Mo today, I don't even know me anymore!" ”
The man still had a smile on his face, "Chi Mo, I should have drugged someone!" ”
