Chapter 118: I can't extricate myself

Wan Xiu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the back door, not wanting the people in the mansion to see it, but it was impossible to be silent. All the way back to the West Courtyard, a few slaves saw it, they were just surprised, but no one dared to ask more.

Returning home in such an embarrassment must have happened, and after a while, the whole house spread.

The third lady, Shen, hurriedly came to Wan Xiu's boudoir and knocked on the door, but Wan Xiu locked herself in the door, and Ren Mother asked what was going on outside, but she ignored it.

"What the hell happened to Miss, you say." Shen was anxious, and his tone was not good, and he asked the maid Xiaoyin, who was also rushing outside the door.

Xiaoyin replied, "The slave doesn't know", and stood behind Shen with his head down, not daring to say more.

Shen was angry, and knocked on the door again, and Wan Xiu said angrily in the door, "Don't knock, let me be quiet." ”

Shen's face turned green with anger, the door was suddenly opened, Wan Xiu had already changed into clean clothes, covered his face with a handkerchief, his eyes were red, he glanced at his mother and then said to Xiaoyin, "Let Baolin come and see me." ”

This sentence is solemn and solemn. Xiao Yin was busy running away to find He Baolin.

Shen looked at her face covered with a handkerchief and asked, "What's wrong with your face?" ”

"Mother don't ask." Wan Xiu's face was not good, and he turned around and walked into the house without wanting to speak.

Shen hurriedly followed, and he had to figure it out.

"What the hell is going on, tell me why people are talking about you coming back from outside early in the morning, and what is going on with your face."

Wan Xiu was already in a sad mood, and her mother still had such an attitude, which made her lie on the table and cry.

The crying was heart-wrenching, and Shen lowered his voice, "Wan'er, my mother is also worried about you, how can you be a boudoir lady who doesn't return overnight." ”

Wan Xiu let himself cry and did not want to answer.

After a while, He Baolin came with the medicine box, and Wan Xiu put down the hand covering his face.

Xia Shuimeng also came to take a look when she heard the news, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a shallow scar on Wan Xiu's face. She walked closer, staring at the wound on Wan Xiu's face in surprise with Shen.

He Baolin immediately took out the ointment and applied a layer to Wan Xiu's scars.

Shen was worried that he would break his appearance, so he hurriedly asked, "Can this injury be healed?" Will there be scars? ”

"The scar is not deep, and it should be fine after a few days of applying the ointment." He Baolin replied, his demeanor was neither arrogant nor humble.

What do you mean by should? Shen muttered in his heart. Yes, there is a risk of scarring.

"You're the exclusive Langzhong of the Prime Minister's Mansion, can't you see this injury?" Shen sneered with a gloomy face.

He Baolin lowered his eyebrows, "Baolin will be healed, and the third lady can rest assured." ”

Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

He Baolin explained the taboo of the meal again and left with the medicine box, and Shen sat down, straightened his appearance and asked about the situation.

"Tell me, where did you go overnight, and how did you get hurt on your face."

"I'd like to hear about it too." There was a heavy voice at the door.

Shen turned around and saw that the eldest lady had an arrogant face

He stood in front of him, looking at her condescendingly.

Wan Xiu is like this, but it is a matter of the face of the Prime Minister's house, how can the eldest lady not come to see it when she hears it.

"How can the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion not return one night, but she still has face?" The voice reached Wan Xiu's ears impartially

, she stiffened the corners of her mouth and smiled.

"I haven't returned, but I'm not Liu Piaoyi, the eldest lady cares too much." Wan Xiu chuckled, then pretended to be nothing, and approached the eldest lady and bowed.

The eldest lady snorted coldly, "As Miss Xiangfu, you don't care about your face?" ”

"The eldest lady cares about Liu Piaoyi, my young lady doesn't want the eldest lady to be tired." Wan Xiu tilted her head, and the only breath of arrogance made her smile.

Xia Shuimeng hurriedly pulled Wan Xiu, anxious about how she could talk to the eldest lady so coldly, even her mother Shen didn't dare.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it's Wan Xiu who was attacked last night and was in a bad mood, sister, don't take it to heart." Shen Shi hurriedly explained.

Attacked? The eldest lady chuckled, "Do you think anyone believes you?" The eldest lady laughed out loud at the corners of her mouth, and then didn't bother to look at the people in the courtyard, and turned to leave.

Wan Xiu's face was pale, who was going to harm her last night, who was the man in the mask, what good was it for him to make her appear in front of everyone like this, and ruin her reputation?

Thinking of this, her sad legs and feet weakened, and she fainted.

"Miss......" Xiaoyin exclaimed.

It seemed that someone was talking in his ear, and Wan Xiu struggled with his eyes and slowly opened them.

The faces of several people appear in the blurred picture, fixed eyes

At first glance, I could see the face of the person in front of me.

"Fifth brother." Wan Xiu weakly called Dao Yun Xiu.

The young man's handsome face as usual was expressionless, and a trace of worry could be seen when he looked closely.

"Everyone in the house knows that you left the mansion late and were attacked, what the hell is going on?" Yun Xiu asked.

Wan Xiu was stunned, and he couldn't see any expression in his cold pupils.

She really didn't want to talk about last night's incident, but she was still worried about who the masked man was and why he harmed her.

"Fifth brother."

"Hmm." Yun Xiu answered.

In the house, maybe only Yun Xiu cares about her.

"Wan'er thinks someone wants to hurt me, but Wan'er doesn't know who she offended, last night Wan'er met a man with a mask, she knocked Wan'er unconscious and threw her at the city gate, tore Wan'er's clothes, and made Wan'er look ugly." Wan Xiu's eyes flashed with tears, and his teeth bit his lip stubbornly.

Yun Xiu was worried that it was really just like this, and he didn't lose his body? Eyes looked at her body suspiciously.

Wan Xiu understood the meaning in his eyes, and his eyes sank, "Fifth brother doesn't believe Wan'er either?" ”

"Believe, how can the fifth brother not believe you, don't go out alone at night in the future." After Yun Xiu finished speaking, he looked at her with some distress.

Wan Xiu reluctantly pulled out a smile, "Fifth brother must help Wan'er find that murderer and vent his anger for Wan'er to kill him." ”

"Okay."

~~~~~~~~~~

Mo Maoli gently picked up the teacup on the vine table and brought it to his lips unhurriedly. Take a small bite gently, and there is a burst of tea fragrance in your mouth.

He was waiting for Zhang Momo, and asked Zhang Momo to meet today, to see if she could bring Zhang Xiang's ink treasure.

The small courtyard that was avoided was a house for ordinary people, and Mo Maoli's subordinate guards rented it.

The guards followed the two of them standing not far behind, quietly waiting aside. The leaves in the courtyard fell lightly and fell on Mo Maoli's shoulder, and he patted them down gently, calming down.

Zhang Momo found this courtyard and walked in happily.

"I'm coming." Her apricot eyes were crooked, and she pouted very cutely.

"Sit." Mo Maoli waved his hand, pursed his lips and smiled faintly.

After Zhang Momo sat down, he took off the painting tube he was carrying, and took out a roll of ink treasure from it, a whole set of calligraphy and paintings. Full of words, neatly written.

Mo Maoli looked at it with an appreciative expression and praised appreciatively, "Master Zhang's handwriting is really good." ”

"That's it." Zhang Momo replied proudly. She had always admired her father's handwriting.

At night, a light rain fell in the sky. The entire Xiangfu was bustling, and Zhang Xiangye was whipping Wan Xiu's hand again and again at the moment.

The third lady Shen on the side was also distressed, on one side

With tears in his eyes, he persuaded Xiangye.

"Master, don't fight, Wan'er doesn't want to, don't fight."

Xiangye put down the whip and snorted coldly.

"I've lost the face of my Zhang family, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is such an angry daughter as you among the wealthy nobles like us."

When I heard about this when I came back from the palace today, Mrs. Zhang was so angry that her face turned green. He has an old face of Xiangguo, and when the time comes, people will point fingers, how should he put his face.

Wan Xiu didn't say anything, knelt in front of Zhang Taiju, lowered his eyebrows, and looked like he had done something wrong. In front of her father, she didn't say a word or dare to hum, only to bear her father's punishment.

It's just a few lashes that are light, but if the father is furious......

"Stay in the house and don't go anywhere, reflect on it." Zhang Taiju said angrily.

After Xiangye left angrily, Shen dared to help Wan Xiu up, and her heart hurt her for being beaten, so she persuaded with good words, "Wan'er, don't make your father angry in the future, you are a girl's family, don't go out at night in the future, even if it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are rampant murderers, you understand." ”

Wan Xiu lowered his eyes and looked at his hands. Shen looked at her bleeding hands distressedly, and hurriedly instructed Xiaoyin, "Go and let He Baolin come and see Miss." ”

After a while, He Baolin walked in with a small blue and white porcelain jade bottle, "Miss, madam, just apply this potion to your hands." ”

The third lady personally applied the potion to Wan Xiu's hand.

The ointment was a little cold on his hands, and Wan Xiu couldn't help crying.

The third lady panicked and hurriedly asked her, "What's the matter, Wan'er, mother hurt you?" ”

Wan Xiu didn't say anything, how could the pain not hurt, but this pain was found by himself, who was to blame.

Wan Xiu had an accident, Wen Si went to Qingluan Courtyard to report Yun Xiu and Jian Xiu, and everyone was in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time. Liu Piaoyi stood in the cloister pavilion and watched the drizzle fall, and also heard the maid Hua Ying say that Xiangye went to punish Wan Xiu.

But this matter has nothing to do with her, she just listens, does not say much, and does not understand her to speak. But for Wan Xiu to encounter this matter, she also hoped from her heart that it was really just an attack on the surface.

When she raised her eyes, Miss Liu saw Jian Xiu, still dressed in red, with a faint arc at the corner of her lips, which led people to sink.

He walked slowly from the cloister and approached her.

"Jane, you, as a brocade guard, should investigate the person who hurt Wan Xiu." She spoke lightly.

"Even if it's not Wan Xiu, I will investigate who the murderer is, how can there be such a villain who bullies a woman at the feet of the Son of Heaven." He spoke, his gaze a little subtle.

She cared about Wan Xiu, and he was glad that she didn't care about the overboard. But how did he know what her heart was thinking?

Miss Liu stared at the rain, which was a little cold on a rainy night. She wanted to take a look at Wan Xiu, but there was a belief in her heart that drove her not to move.

Wan Xiu's heart is vicious, when she pushed the willow and fell into the water, she was soft, she was ruthless, and she didn't blink her eyes, such a person is not worthy of sympathy.

Seeing that she was concentrating, he turned her body with both hands to let her eyes look at him, and he smiled lightly, and the corners of his mouth spread out a smile that was better than a flower on the other side.

"Ji'er, the day is coming soon, only a few days away, are you ready?"

She stared at him calmly, and before he could answer him, he looked down and pecked at her delicate lips.

Liu Piaoyi squinted at him and said with a smile, "What, you're in a hurry?" ”

Jian Xiu took her to sit on the bench, leaned lazily on the sturdy wooden frame, pulled her into her arms, looked sideways at her beautiful face, looked gently, and said with a slightly evil anger on the corners of her mouth: "From the first time I saw you, I was anxious, I have been anxious for a long time, Yi'er, you are about to become my wife, I am very happy, really happy." ”

She smiled, still not replying to his words.

He looked at her with a smile that belonged to him, and it was so beautiful that he couldn't help himself.
