The spring color is light, the smell of the mud after the rain is unusually rich, and the heavy dark clouds press overhead, which makes people extremely depressed. A brown oilcloth carriage turned past Anrenfang and burrowed into a deep alley, the horse's hooves wrapped in cloth, and there was only a muffled sound as it walked. The curtain was lifted by a slightly rough hand, revealing a thin, dark-skinned man, who whispered to the coachman, "Stop at the mouth of the alley and wait for the woman to come." ”

The coachman nodded, and gently took the reins of the horse, and the horse stopped in the shadows with a loud snort.

After a while, Mu Xiang dressed as a peasant woman and walked over briskly against the wall. She bowed her head deeply, clutching the burden in her arms, not even seeing a carriage parked in the alley opposite.

The driver knocked lightly on the wall, and the black-faced man lifted the curtain and looked out. said: "When she comes, we will ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw another woman running behind Mu Xiang, who looked like a girl from a big family.

"Woody ...... Isn't it you? ”

Mu Xiang was startled and subconsciously shrunk her shoulders. I heard that it was Moyu's voice, so I turned around and looked: "Moyu? Why are you here? ”

"How do you dress up like that? I'm easy to find! Mo Yu ran out of breath and barely spoke. She walked around the neighborhood several times, and had already given up looking, but vaguely saw a back image of Mu Xiang, but seeing that she was dressed but couldn't be sure, she hurriedly ran over, but she didn't expect it to be her.

"I'm afraid that Aunt Xue will regret it, so I'm dressed like this to hide from people......" Mu Xiang was very nervous, her feet kept moving around, and she looked like she was in a hurry to leave. You came to me on purpose? Is there something wrong with the three girls? ”

Mo Yu looked around and said, "The third girl can't protect herself at this time, and I don't know when she will be able to return to normal. I heard that you were let go by Aunt Xue, thinking that we would get acquainted, and I wanted to send you some silver and two sides. If the three girls are good in the future, maybe there will be a time for us to meet again. ”

Mu Xiang saw that Moyu stuffed her purse into her, and she was moved in her heart, but she felt a little guilty, and she didn't know whether to tell her about the letter. Seeing that her expression was different, Mo Yu dragged her, and the two turned into a narrow dark alley next to her. asked, "Mu Xiang, why did Aunt Xue let you go?" ”

Mu Xiang saw that he really opened his mouth to ask about this, and the words that were put on his lips almost came out. But after thinking about it, she handed over the letter written by Ji Tianjiao to Hong Yan, and Aunt Xue didn't know how to deal with Ji Tianjiao. She and the three girls are sisters after all, and they are still connected to the tendons when they break their bones, and they are just a maidservant girl, so they finally escaped, so why bother to entangle with them again. When I return to my hometown, I will find another job.

Mo Yu is loyal to the third girl, what if she knows that this reason is in conflict with her and refuses to let her go?!

Mu Xiang thought so, and those words swirled around in his mouth and swallowed back. She lowered her eyes and covered her expression, then raised her head again, and changed her words: "This is my matter with Aunt Xue, I told you, I'm afraid that there will be trouble, you still don't want to know." I have thanked you for this silver, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you! I'm in a hurry to get out of the city now, and I can't talk to you more, so I'm leaving......"

Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Mo Yu had to nod, and the dagger in her sleeve was coldly pressed against her arm, making her always vigilant.

Seeing that she didn't ask any more, Mu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and hugged Mo Yu and prepared to leave. But I heard Mo Yu say: "Muxiang, I'm sorry." ”

Immediately afterwards, Mu Xiang only felt a cold and painful feeling in the vest, and a fishy sweetness gushed out of his throat. Her eyes widened in shock, and she still pulled the dagger out of her body with the help of Moyu, and stabbed her several times, still standing there unable to recover her senses. She saw Mo Yu retreat in panic, the dagger in her hand covered with Yin Hong's blood. Only then did he ask with blood: "Why did you kill me......"

The sharp pain spread from the wound to the whole body, Mu Xiang spat blood from his mouth, and questioned Mo Yu indistinctly. Mo Yu took a few steps back, staring at Mu Xiang from a distance, her body trembling uncontrollably. Although she was mentally prepared when she came, seeing Mu Xiang's blood gurgling out and staining her hands, she couldn't take it lightly...... "Don't ask me...... It's your fate that counts so ......"

Mu Xiang made two 'ho-ho' sounds in his throat, knelt on the ground, and said, "I know...... Road...... I'm going to come back to find ...... You ......"

Laboriously spit out the last word, Mu Xiang fell to the ground and did not move.

Mo Yu smelled the strong smell of blood, and her stomach surged uncontrollably, she forcibly endured her nausea and stepped forward to see Mu Xiang, seeing that her eyes were as wide as copper bells, her hands and feet were weak with fright, and she couldn't help crying. "Mu Xiang, don't blame me......" She tried Mu Xiang's snort, and found that the other party was dead, so she trembled her hand and tried to close her eyelids, but after trying a few times, Mu Xiang's eyes were still unwilling to stare at her!

Thinking of Mu Xiang's last words, Mo Yu only felt a chill down her spine, and the cold air climbed up from her heels. She shrunk her neck, forcibly suppressed the creepy feeling, took back the purse she had given to Mu Xiang and put it in her arms, and wiped the blood stains on the dagger with Mu Xiang's clothes and hid it.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to compose, and walked towards the mouth of the alley. At this moment, a shadow blocked the light at the mouth of the alley, and Mo Yu exclaimed in fright and leaned against the wall. "Who's there?"

The black-faced man narrowed his eyes and looked at the wood incense on the ground before he raised his head and said to Mo Yu: "The little lady's hand is really ruthless. ”

Mo Yu's brain was buzzing, someone saw her kill someone! What to do? What to do?! "Who are you? What are you going to do! ”

The black-faced man raised the corners of his lips and smiled, stepped forward and pulled Moyu mercilessly, knocked out the driver at the mouth of the alley with a palm, and said, "Tie her up and take her back, and wait for our aunt and grandmother to dispose of it." ”

The coachman's hands were very neat, and he tied Moyu and was still in the carriage, before asking, "What about this dead man?" ”

"According to the original plan, throw it into the gushui to feed the fish."

……

The sky was getting dark, Ji Rujun's room had already darkened, and her heart had also darkened. Moyu hasn't come back for so long, something must have happened...... She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and walked to the window to listen carefully to the movement outside. The little girl Qingying said: "Sister Moyu went to buy rose cakes for the third girl, why haven't she come back yet?" The girl is alone in the house and doesn't move, should we go in and have a look? ”

Hongya said: "Sister Moyu ordered when she left, let us guard the door, and we are not allowed to enter and leave the girl's room at will. ”

Qingying hesitated for a while, and said: "I'll go in and take a look, the girl is alone, in case there is a good thing, we will also suffer, it's dark, I'll go and light the candle to see if the third girl has any reaction." ”

Inside, Ji Rujun was thinking quickly in her heart, suddenly gritted her teeth, lowered her head and slammed into the corner of the table. A feeling of dizziness came, and she wiped the blood from the corner of the table and lay on the floor, moaning in pain.

Qingying gently pushed open the door, and heard some movement inside, she lit the candle with her hands and feet, and asked, "Girl, are you talking?" ”

There was no answer...... Qingying's heart became alert, she quickly pushed open the door of the inner room, lit the candle on the candlestick, and saw Ji Rujun lying on the ground, her forehead still bleeding. "Girl! Three girls! What's wrong with you! ”

Ji Rujun pretended to have just woken up, and looked at Qingying blankly: "I'...... Headache ......"

Qingying hurriedly shouted outside: "Red Aya! Call someone soon, the three girls are injured! ”

Lan Ruoge was in a hurry, and everyone heard that Ji Rujun was injured inexplicably, so they all rushed over here. Su Gu wrapped her forehead and said, "This injury is not a big deal, it's just that the wound looks like it has been hit by a heavy object, or hit something......"

Qin Shi frowned and said, "Which of you is taking care of it in the house, how can the third girl be like this?" ”

Qingying said: "The slave maid and the red silk have been guarding outside, Sister Moyu said to buy rose cakes for the girl, and she didn't come back for a long time, the slave maid thought that it would be dark to go in and light the candle for the girl, and she saw the girl lying on the ground......"

Ji Rujun looked chaotic, she had fallen asleep at this time, and everyone couldn't ask, and they didn't know what was going on. The Qin family instructed the princess of the nursing home: "Moyu hasn't come back for so long, I don't know what happened, you call two people out to find it." ”

The princess received the command and went at once.

Qin glanced at Ji Rujun suspiciously, and said, "Let's go down, wait for the third girl to wake up, and then ask what is going on." ”

Xue Baoyue stood in the crowd, glared at the Qin clan fiercely, and turned back to Ruyue Xuan. Zhi'er immediately stepped forward and said, "Wang Li has a ...... to say" Zhi'er whispered in her ear for a while, and the more Xue Baoyue listened, the more surprised she became. "Wang Li arrested someone?"

"Well, he tied up the person, and Mu Xiang threw it into the gushui as he said." Zhi'er guessed: ". What's going on with this black jade? Could it be that she had a grudge against Mu Xiang, and she couldn't see Mu Xiang leave, so she killed her? ”

Xue Baoyue blinked, shook her head and said, "I don't know, but now that the Qin clan is sending people to find Moyu, we don't know if there will be any trouble if our people will detain her." You go and give Wang Li a reply, ask him to be careful, and ask what Moyu idea is, maybe it will be useful to us." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will do it."

"Wait." Xue Baoyue stopped Zhi'er and asked, "Did you find the person who talked to Mu Xiang through the window that day?" ”

"I found it, it's the grandmother who guards the door in our yard."

"Grandma?" Aunt Xue rubbed the pattern on the cuffs and said, "Call her over to me." ”
