The beautiful man stopped his movements and looked out the door with a frown, "What's so noisy?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the subordinates of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion found a red embroidered shoe in the lotus pond, suspecting that the eldest lady of the Nalan family had committed suicide by jumping into the water, and was looking for it everywhere."

A respectful man's voice came from the door.

The beautiful man looked down at Nalan Tianyue's jade white feet, where he was only wearing a red embroidered peacock bead hibiscus soft-soled shoe.

"Crawling the king's bed in the middle of the night, it turned out that he wanted to blackmail me, and he was not small."

The beautiful man rubbed Nalan Tianyue's red lips with his thumb, his smile was gentle, and his eyes were cold.

"What is this palace lying to you?" Nalan Tianyue slapped his hand away in displeasure.

"Don't waste your time, if you want to be my princess, you are not qualified enough."

"You're thinking too much!" Nalan Tianyue was not interested in being a princess, she was just hungry.

"Zhuo Feng, send Miss Nalan back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." The beautiful man got up and commanded the outside.

The guard Zhuo Feng walked in and saw Nalan Tianyue lying on his master's bed, but his surprised face did not show it, he only bowed down and said, "Miss Nalan, please." ”

Nalan Tianyue didn't get entangled, got up and got out of bed, flicked her red water sleeves, looked back and asked, "Your name."

The beautiful man raised his eyebrows, looking like you were asking knowingly, but seeing Nalan Tianyue's serious expression, he still replied, "This king's name is secret, Baili Longyan!" ”

"Baili Longyan, this palace remembers you."

By the lotus pond, the voices of people are boiling, and most of the people in the whole house are fishing for corpses by the pool.

"Miss, why can't you think about it like this, the prince just said a few words of truth, and you risked your life to ruin his reputation, it's too worthless."

A beautiful maid dressed in green grabbed a red embroidered shoe, howling to death, but there was no tears, it was Xiaoqing, the personal maid sent by the original owner's stepmother.

"What, Miss Ben isn't dead yet." Nalan Tianyue quietly appeared behind Xiaoqing.

Xiao Qing looked up sharply, her eyes widening in surprise.

She obviously saw the eldest lady jumping into the lotus pond, how could she still stand here in a good manner, could it be that she was rescued?

Xiaoqing quickly swept around Nalan Tianyue's body, and found that her black hair was messy and her red clothes were wrinkled, so she had an idea in her heart.

"Miss, your clothes, my God, don't you ......"

Xiaoqing covered her mouth halfway through speaking, and her tone was as if Nalan Tianyue had been forced.

"The eldest lady has found it." The subordinates who heard Xiaoqing's call all stopped and hulala came around.

"Yue'er, where the hell have you been?"

A beautiful woman in a deep purple plum pattern dress walked over anxiously.

I saw that this beautiful woman had willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, fair skin, delicate face, and weak temperament, and it was the original owner's aunt, the later stepmother, Gong Yujiao.

The original owner died of illness when he was two years old.

Father Nalan Shijie used the excuse that the original owner was young and needed to be taken care of, and the mourning period was less than a year, so he married his aunt Yujiao, who was born as a concubine, and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

This aunt's stepmother was too good to the original owner, she wanted the wind to be windy, and she wanted the rain to be rainy, and she connived at the original owner into an arrogant and domineering evil girl.

At this moment, this little aunt's stepmother was looking at Nalan Tianyue with worried and loving eyes.

Nalan Tianyue hadn't spoken yet, Xiaoqing was already grief-stricken, and said again and again: "Madam, eldest lady, she's ......"

Gong Yujiao's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly stopped Xiaoqing, "Don't say any more, hurry up and take the eldest lady back." ”

The two of them were so secretive that the people around them looked at Nalan Tianyue in obscurity.

This eldest lady is disheveled and her hair is messy, so she must have been given a ......

Xiaoqing's eyes were lowered, waiting for the eldest lady to explain, so that it would get darker and darker.

Nalan Tianyue didn't bother to explain at all, she ignored everyone's gaze, and said to Xiaoqing coldly and arrogantly, "Shoes." ”

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, and found that she was still holding the eldest lady's red soft-soled shoes embroidered with peacock thread beads and hibiscus, and hurriedly handed them to her.

"Eyeless girl, why don't you help the eldest lady put it on!" Gong Yujiao frowned and scolded.

"Slave maid wears it." Xiaoqing half-knelt down, and in full view of everyone, he was about to reach out to lift the hem of Nalan Tianyue's skirt.

This action is extremely inappropriate, after all, there are small servants and guards next to them, if Nalan Tianyue's bare feet are seen by them, it will damage the reputation of the Qing Dynasty.

"Presumptuous!" Nalan Tianyue raised her foot and kicked Xiaoqing to the ground with a very fast movement.

It's not that she's afraid of being seen barefoot, but she's simply not used to seeing the girl's rude movements.

"Yue'er, what are you doing here?" Gong Yujiao asked pretending to be surprised.

"Such a stupid maid is not qualified to serve Miss Ben, so she was dragged out and sold." Nalan Tianyue said lightly.

"The eldest lady is angry, the slave didn't mean it." Xiaoqing was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Yue'er, Xiaoqing didn't mean it, for the sake of her serving you for so long, let's spare her this time."

Gong Yujiao sighed and persuaded softly, "You have already changed five personal maids, and if you change someone else, you should say that you are harsh." ”

Nalan Tianyue didn't answer her at all, and asked directly, "Doesn't Miss Ben even have the right to sell a maid?" ”

"How so?" Gong Yuejiao smiled helplessly, and said dotingly, "Since Yue'er doesn't like Xiaoqing, then I'll change the maid to you." ”

"No, go back and send fifty newcomers over, Miss Ben chooses by herself." Nalan Tianyue glanced at Xiaoqing, looking at this virtue, she knew that Gong Yujiao would not send any good goods over.

"This, in a hurry, I'm afraid that there won't be fifty newcomers in the house." Gong Yuejiao said embarrassedly.

Even if she could make it up, she wouldn't be able to send it over.

"Madame loves me so much, there must be a way." Nalan Tianyue smiled slightly.

This stepmother has always responded to the original owner's requests in front of everyone, and the more willful and unreasonable the request, the faster she agreed.

Gong Yujiao was blocked, so she could only smile and agree.

"That month is waiting for the good news of the lady." Nalan Tianyue was about to go back to the yard to rest, but after a day of trouble, she was also tired.

At this time, an angry cry came, "Evil girl, stop me." ”

Nalan Tianyue looked back, and saw a middle-aged man with a Chinese face, hooked nose, wearing a dark blue brocade robe, and a majestic bearing walking towards her angrily, it was Nalan Shijie, the original owner's father.

"Xiangye is angry," Gong Yujiao hurriedly stopped Nalan Shijie and pleaded softly, "Yue'er has been wronged today, don't scold her anymore, save her some face." ”

"What kind of face does she have, the face of our prime minister's mansion has been lost by her." Nalan Shijie's face was pale, and he glared at his daughter unkindly.

This useless thing turned out to be looking for death and life for the prince's divorce, and lost his face, he really wanted to beat her.

Nalan Tianyue watched coldly, as if she was watching Gong Yujiao and Nalan Shijie act.

No wonder people often say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, this original owner father is indiscriminate, he comes up and reprimands, and he doesn't care about what happened to his daughter, it's simply hateful, if she still has ghost power, she must find a little ghost to teach this scumbag father a good lesson.

As soon as Nalan Tianyue's thought came to mind, a ghostly cry drifted into her ears.

"It's cold, it's cold."

Nalan Tianyue glanced at the lotus pond, and saw that under the dark pond, a miserable white woman's face appeared, and her limbs were folded upside down and tied to a big stone, sinking at the bottom of the pond.

Earthbound spirits, just in time.

Nalan Tianyue's eyelids drooped slightly, and the red light flashed in her eyes, and the rope on the corpse broke.

"Ah, look, how can a corpse float out of the lotus pond."

"This, isn't this Qiaoyun's corpse?"

Qiaoyun? Nalan Tianyue inexplicably felt that this name was a little familiar.

By the way, that was the original owner's former personal maid, that is, she told Gong Yujiao about the private meeting between the original owner and the man, which caused the original owner to have a reputation for misconduct.

I heard that she was sent away by the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could the body be under the lotus pond.

Tsk, it seems that there is something hidden about the original owner cheating on the wild man.

It's a pity that the little yang energy that Nalan Tianyue just inhaled can only make her hear the ghost crying, and there is no way to communicate with the ghost, otherwise she can ask clearly.

"Quickly get the body up." Gong Yujiao was shocked, but she still made a calm appearance and asked her subordinates to fish up Qiaoyun's body.

Qiaoyun's corpse was soaked white and swollen, and the originally pretty little face was completely deformed, with a distorted face and round eyes, which was very terrifying.

"This Qiaoyun is blind to death, what grievances can't be done?" Nalan Tianyue pretended to be surprised and said.

"What grievances can she have," Gong Yujiao said a little unnaturally, "probably because she felt sorry for you, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into the pool." ”

"No wonder."

Nalan Tianyue made a sudden realization, "I was sleeping well in the house, but I suddenly heard a woman's cry, saying that I was sorry for me, and I was accused of being instructed by someone to accuse me at the beginning." I woke up and found that a shoe was missing, so I came out to look for it. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Nalan Shijie scolded unhappily.

"Father, I didn't talk nonsense, otherwise everyone hadn't fished Qiaoyun's body in the lotus pond for so long, why did she surface as soon as you scolded me, it can be seen that she also knows that I was wronged." Nalan Tianyue said lightly.

Nalan Shijie frowned, and he had to scold again.

At this time, a yin wind blew by the pond for no reason, and Qiaoyun left two lines of blood and tears in his eyes.

Everyone present screamed in fright, and many people even crawled away from the lotus pond.

Nalan Shijie also jumped in his heart, and hurriedly scolded his subordinates to move Qiaoyun's body away.

"You go back to me and think about it behind closed doors, and don't talk nonsense anymore." Nalan Shijie threw down this sentence and left in a hurry with Gong Yujiao.

Nalan Tianyue glanced at the lotus pond before leaving, Qiaoyun's ghost was still floating in the water, opening and closing in his mouth, as if he wanted to tell something.

Don't worry, this palace will come back.
