Chapter 104: Hungry Wolves Pounce on Food

From the moment he heard the steward talk about killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, Mei Zijin's heart flashed with strangeness, and when he heard that the servant woman was the old woman who brought him palpitations, his heart was even more violent, and he thought of something in an instant, and his heart was beating with excitement, and he hurriedly asked the steward, where is she now?

The steward was stunned: "After dismissing her in the morning, let her leave the house......"

Hearing this, Mei Zijin, who had just become happy and excited, felt a chill in her heart, and said eagerly in her tone: "Do you know where she went?" Get her back! ”

Seeing Mei Zijin's anxious look, the steward was so frightened that he hurriedly responded and went to find Shui Qingqing.

Shui Qingqing has not been working in the kitchen for a long time, and she usually doesn't talk to anyone except for getting close to Granny Yu, who is in charge of boiling water.

The steward went to Granny Yu and asked her about Shui Qingqing's home address.

However, Shui Qingqing, who deliberately concealed her identity, did not tell Granny Yu her address......

asked the steward in the kitchen to no avail, so he had to plead guilty to Mei Zijin with a bitter face.

"Back to the Hou Ye, it has only been five days since Granny Qin came to the house...... Usually taciturn, and don't talk much to everyone, so, so I asked around the kitchen, and no one knew where she lived, so I couldn't find her......"

After listening to the words of the steward, although Mei Zijin was anxious, she also became more convinced that the old woman was played by Shui Qingqing.

Thinking of this, his heart is not only sweet, but also sad-

He thought that she must have heard the news of his injury and accident, so she came here from other places to see him, but she was afraid that her identity would be revealed, so she had to pretend to be an old woman, regardless of her identity, and even more so of her hard work, she went to the kitchen on an errand, but she was ordered by herself not to appear next to him......

Mei Zijin is really repentant, and she is even more afraid that she will leave Tongguguan and she will never be able to find her again......

Without thinking about it, he was going to order Sanshi to bring someone to her.

Princess Leyi, who was on the side, turned around and smiled at him at this time: "Why does Brother Zijin care so much about an old servant woman? Since she was dismissed and gone, she can't be found, so it's good for the steward to find another capable one - this princess doesn't believe it, and the huge Tonggu Pass can't find a second person who can kill chickens and sheep......"

Princess Leyi's words made Mei Zijin suddenly think of something, and his heart tightened, which finally calmed him down.

Yes, since she pretended to be an old woman to see her, and she didn't tell herself, it must be because Li You's pursuit made her dare not show up.

In this way, if he goes to find her in a big way, he will not only expose her, but I am afraid that she will be in crisis again, and it will make Princess Leyi and her sisters suspicious.

Therefore, even if you want to find her, you have to do it quietly in private, and you can't let anyone else know until you bring her safely to yourself......

After a thousand rounds of thoughts, Mei Zijin had completely calmed down, waved his hand to let the steward go down, and gave a resignation order to Le Yi: "Ben Hou is tired and wants to rest for a while, princess, please take a break." ”

Princess Leyi did not doubt him, and she didn't dare to delay him to rest, so she took the palace people back to her house.

As soon as everyone left, Mei Zijin hurriedly summoned Sanshi to come forward and asked him to take someone immediately and secretly find Shui Qingqing.

At that time, there were only 6 Lin and Sanshi by his side, and Mei Zijin didn't need to hide it anymore, and told the two of them about the speculation in his heart and the strange feeling he had for the old woman before.

Hearing his words, 6 Lin and Sanshi were stunned.

Although Sanshi didn't dare to believe that the old woman would be Shui Qingqing, he had always absolutely obeyed Mei Zijin's words, and without saying a word, he immediately took the order to go down to find someone.

After Sanshi left, 6 Lin came back to his senses from his astonishment, looked at Mei Zijin with a serious and solemn face in surprise, and said in surprise: "You mean, that ...... That old woman carrying water is the county lord?! ”

Mei Zijin nodded affirmatively, "I can't be wrong with my feelings, I noticed it when she first appeared in front of me." ”

Looking at his extremely positive appearance, 6 Lin couldn't help but become serious, and thought carefully about the appearance of the old woman who carried the water in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Mei Zijin was fascinated by Shui Qingqing's thoughts, and he was stunned!

That old woman, how could she be the county lord of Guanqing!?

Even if there were a hundred people in my heart who didn't believe that the old woman was Shui Qingqing, but at this time, looking at Mei Zijin's excited appearance, 6 Lin couldn't bear to hit him again......

In this way, from the time Sanshi took people to the city to find Shui Qingqing, Mei Zijin was restless in the house.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't walk on the ground, he would have gone to the city to look for her in person, even if he had to find her from house to house.

6 Lin looked at him anxiously, but he couldn't help but worry about him and became anxious-

He had such a big hope in his heart, in case 6 Lin found that old woman, but it was not Shui Qingqing, wouldn't it be a bigger blow to him?!

He didn't know if his current body could withstand such a big blow......

On the other hand, Shui Qingqing, who was dismissed, thought to herself at the moment she was thrown out of the Shuai Mansion, anyway, her original plan was to leave after seeing him have nothing to do, and take Xiaoxi and Yun'er to Jiangnan to live in seclusion.

Therefore, she doesn't have to be sad, let alone sad, come silently, and then go quietly......

However, why did her heart seem to be stuffed with cotton, so tightly blocked, that she could hardly breathe.

Shui Qingqing, who was bored, silently walked around the street alone, and went to the river to blow the wind for a long time, and when she returned to the house, the sky was already dark.

When Xiaoxi saw her come back, she hugged Yun'er and greeted her happily, and said with a smile: "Did Miss see Master Hou today?" ”

Shui Qingqing took Yun'er from her arms, kissed him on the face, and said with a bitter smile: "I saw it, but he seemed to be annoyed with me and fired me......"

Hearing this, Xiaoxi realized that her face was wrong, her eyes were red, and she seemed to have cried......

Xiaoxi was puzzled: "Miss, what's wrong?" Why did Master Hou fire you......"

Shui Qingqing couldn't understand why Mei Zijin suddenly fired her.

But now that she has been kicked out, what's the use of thinking about it again?

Seeing the exhausted look on her face, Xiaoxi stopped asking her, and called her hot water distressedly, and said, "Miss, hurry up and take a bath to relieve fatigue, I'll help Miss hot the meal." ”

Even if she was hungry for a day, Shui Qingqing couldn't feel a little hungry. She stopped Xiaoxi and smiled lightly: "It's good for you to look at Yun'er, I've eaten outside." ”

With that, she took off the tight human skin mask on her face, undressed herself and stepped into the tub, leaning against the edge of the bucket in a daze, her whole body weak to the extreme......

By the time she came out of the shower, it was completely dark. Shui Qingqing couldn't care about the soreness and tiredness of her whole body, and coaxed Yun'er to sleep.

Xiaoxi came in, took a sharp needle in her hand, and ointment, and said to Shui Qingqing: "Miss, I'll help you remove the blood." ”

Although Shui Qingqing was used to doing rough work with her adoptive father before, she hadn't done rough work for more than two years since she married into the Wang family.

In addition, the poison of cold paralysis on her body, and the poison of Hibiscus were just not long. Therefore, suddenly holding the knife and lifting heavy objects, her thin body is not as good as before, it is very difficult, the tiger's mouth on her hands, and there are blood blisters everywhere on her shoulders.

Every day when she came back from work in Shuaifu, Xiaoxi had to help her remove the blood blisters on her hands and shoulders and apply medicine.

Every time it hurts, she bared her teeth......

While carefully helping Shui Qingqing pick the blood blisters on her shoulders, Xiaoxi said angrily: "It's okay to be dismissed." lest the young lady go to the house every day to suffer...... Originally, my body was not well, but now I still do heavy work every day, and Miss's body can stand it......"

Shui Qingqing smiled meaninglessly: "Yes, I don't want to suffer this anymore, I was thinking about telling the steward not to do it, but I didn't expect the Hou Ye to open my mouth for me in front of me, but it's a good thing......"

Looking at her forced smile, Xiaoxi's heart ached, "Miss, don't blame Master Hou...... The way you are now, he didn't recognize you, that's why he drove you away......"

After that, Xiaoxi said quietly: "That young lady...... What are we going to do in the future? Miss has a plan in mind? ”

Shui Qingqing comforted her and said, "I thought about it, let's go to Jiangnan...... We can open a liquor store, and it won't be difficult to feed the three of us. ”

Xiaoxi glanced at Yun'er, who was asleep, and hesitated: "Miss, we have been on the road recently, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, if we rush again, I am afraid that my son will not be able to bear it......"

Listening to Xiaoxi's words, Shui Qingqing's eyes couldn't help but look at Yun'er on the bed.

Recently, Yun'er has been running around with them all over the world, she didn't eat well, she didn't rest on time, she was a little thinner than before, her round little face was smaller, and Shui Qingqing's heart was even more heartbroken.

She thought for a moment and sighed, "In that case, let's stay here for a while longer, and wait until the weather is cooler before leaving......"

It was night, Mei Zijin, who had been waiting for news from Sanshi, had no intention of sleeping at all, and he didn't close his eyes for a moment all night, feeling excited and sad, and even more guilty about Shui Qingqing.

And Shui Qingqing, who was at a loss about the road ahead, also couldn't sleep, and her heart was full of loss and melancholy.

She kept thinking, why did the good Mei Zijin suddenly drive her away?

If he recognized her, shouldn't he keep her?

Could it be that he also listened to the rumors in the capital, thinking that he had shameless misdeeds with Nameless?

Thinking of the cold and disgusted eyes he had seen in the past few days, Shui Qingqing felt sad and her eyes were so sad that her eyes were flushing!

However, at this moment, a vague sigh sounded softly in her ears!

Shui Qingqing's whole body trembled, and she looked up in panic, but through the half-open window, she saw a tall figure standing in the courtyard at some point.

It's nameless!

The moment he saw the figure, Shui Qingqing instantly recognized the figure as him.

With a hot heart, Shui Qingqing hurriedly pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, holding down the excitement in her heart and trembling and said, "Nameless, is it you?" ”

The figure slowly walked out of the shadows under the earthen wall, and the cold moonlight illuminated his calm face, but it was the nameless who had been separated for more than a month.

At the moment when she saw the nameless, Shui Qingqing couldn't tell what it was like, she only felt like she had seen her relatives in a lonely and helpless situation, which made her cry and rejoice.

"County Lord......"

And after searching for so long, finally seeing her here, Nameless's heart was even more excited, and there was an indescribable sadness.

Under the moonlight, he looked at her earnestly, and when he saw her haggard and emaciated, Nameless's heart ached.

He pressed down the sadness and loss in his heart, and said in a muffled voice: "Why did the county lord say goodbye in the first place...... You're afraid I'll stop you from coming here to find him......"

Since Liu Jiazhuang said goodbye, Nameless not only returned to the capital to find her despite the danger, but also searched for her everywhere, searching for places she might go, but there has been no news of her.

Later, when he heard the news that Mei Zijin had an accident on the side, he thought that she would definitely come here to see him, so he also rushed all the way to the border pass, and kept looking for her in Tongguguan.

From the first day Shui Qingqing appeared in Tongguguan with a human skin mask, Nameless recognized her.

It's just that when he thought of her farewell, Nameless didn't have the courage to come to see her, because he knew that her goodbye was all to come here to see Mei Zijin......

These days, he watched her work hard every day in order to see Mei Zijin waiting for a servant woman in the Shuai Mansion, letting go of all her identity and self-esteem......

It wasn't until this morning, when he watched her being kicked out by the Shuai Mansion and followed her around the street for a day, that he finally mustered up the courage to meet her......

Seeing that Nameless misunderstood herself, Shui Qingqing wanted to explain to him, but when the words came to her lips, thinking of what Liu Yin had said to her before, she was stunned in her heart, and swallowed the words that came to her mouth again.

Yes, Nameless knows her feelings, but ...... Before this, her heart had already been given to Mei Zijin, and since this was the case, she would rather he misunderstand than have hope for herself.

In this way, she did not deny it, and said: "The only person I can rely on now is Master Hou, so I brought Yun'er here to join him......"

Shui Qingqing's words seemed to sprinkle a handful of salt on the nameless scarred heart, making his heart ache to the point of convulsions.

His eyes sank, he looked at her for a moment, and sneered coldly: "Since the county lord regards him as his last support, why is he hiding here alone and crying, and he doesn't even have the courage to see him with his true face?!" ”

With a tremor in her body, Shui Qingqing looked at Nameless in embarrassment, and snorted, "I...... I was getting ready to meet his ...... He had been seriously injured and unconscious before......"

"He personally ordered you to be kicked out."

nameless and ruthlessly exposed her lies, and said bitterly and resentfully: "He also listened to those untrue rumors in the capital, and he didn't believe you......"

Shui Qingqing's heart trembled slightly, she didn't pay attention to the nameless piercing words, and she didn't know how to explain it to him. I had to smile bitterly: "Are your injuries healed?" What about Liu Yin, and Brother Wu? Are they all okay now? ”

Seeing her running away, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't bear to hit her again, so she looked at her silently and said, "We're all right...... Is Yun'er okay? ”

Shui Qingqing smiled: "Yun'er is very good...... We're all pretty good......"

Nameless glanced at her deeply and said, "What are the county lord's plans in the future?" ”

Shui Qingqing said calmly: "I plan to stay here temporarily...... In the future, I will go back with the Hou Ye in the future......"

The hand that clenched his fist trembled slightly, and Nameless said with a cold smile: "Since this is the case, the subordinates have nothing to worry about, so I will say goodbye to the county lord." ”

After that, he left without looking back and disappeared into the vast night......

As soon as she left without a name, Shui Qingqing's heart was disappointed again, and she sat in the courtyard alone until dawn......

Since it was decided to stay in Tonggu for the time being, Shui Qingqing looked at the little entanglement, and prepared to go out early the next morning to find a job.

Xiaoxi was going to go, but compared to Shui Qingqing, Xiaoxi didn't do any rough work except serving her master on weekdays, so she couldn't find a way to make a living when she went out.

However, without waiting for Shui Qingqing to go out, the steward of the handsome mansion who fired her yesterday came to the door with a smile on his face.

It turned out that when Mei Zijin was anxious, Sanshi, who had been looking for a day and a night, brought shocking good news, telling him that not only did he find the old woman, but also Xiaoxi and Yun'er were with her!

Mei Zijin was ecstatic, so, 100% sure that the old woman was Shui Qingqing.

Even 6 Lin, who had always been skeptical, was overjoyed when she heard that Xiaoxi and Yun'er were with her, and finally believed Mei Zijin's words, that old woman was really the county lord of Guanqing they were looking for!

Sanshi hugged his fists and smiled: "Master, my subordinates immediately went to invite the county lord and the prince to come to the Shuai Mansion." ”

6 Lin also smiled happily: "Go quickly, go quickly, I finally found her, of course I can't delay any longer, lest she run away again......"

Mei Zijin hesitated, and after a moment of silence, she said to Sanshi: "You go quietly and only take care of things, let him come forward, and invite her back to the Hou Mansion to be an errand no matter whatβ€”remember, this matter can only be known to the three of us, and no one else can reveal her identity." ”

Hearing this, Sanshi and 6 Lin both came back to their senses and hurriedly responded solemnly.

In this way, after getting a reminder from Sanshi, the housekeeper went to Shui Qingqing's rented house and stalked her to re-enter the Hou Mansion on an errand.

Shui Qingqing felt faintly uneasy in her heart, so she never agreed to the request of the steward.

She looked at the anxious steward, and said indifferently: "I am not inferior to do things in the house, since I have come out, I don't want to go back." ”

Seeing that she disagreed, the steward hurriedly said: "You don't know, because of the recent war, it is too difficult to find someone like you who can do things here...... After you left yesterday, the new servant woman did her errand, and even the people who troubled our kitchen were reprimanded by the princess...... You go back with me, I'll give you processing money, please, just help......"

Shui Qingqing was still hesitating, but she thought that she wanted to make money to support Yun'er and Xiaoxi, and she also knew that now that the war was tight, it was not easy to find something to do in the city, so she agreed to return to the Hou Mansion to do things.

The steward who completed the matter happily received the reward from Sanshi, and according to Sanshi's words, Shui Qingqing was arranged to be in the upper room where Mei Zijin was on an errand.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the steward, Sanshi told the steward that Shui Qingqing was a relative of his distant relative, so he took extra care of her, asked him to keep it a secret and not let others know, even Princess Leyi and Aunt Tang couldn't say it.

Although Sanshi is just a minion, he is Mei Zijin's confidant, so of course, the steward must listen to his words, and hurriedly promised him that he would not mention this matter to anyone again......

In this way, on the second day, Shui Qingqing came to the kitchen of the Shuai Mansion again on an errand.

She was about to go to the cage to catch the chickens as usual, but the steward stayed by the chicken coop early, and said with a smile: "Granny Qin, someone has done the errand here, I have other errands for you, you come with me." ”

Shui Qingqing was puzzled, didn't he say yesterday that he would ask her to come back if he couldn't find someone who slaughtered chickens and sheep? Why did she come back and change her to other errands.

Before she could figure it out, the steward had already taken her to the upper room where Mei Zijin lived in the front yard, and told her that there was a lack of a person to guard the treasury in the upper room of the Hou Ye, and seeing that she was honest and duty-bound, let her help the Hou Ye guard the treasury in the future.

It's an easy job, no gravity, and I don't know how long it's easier than what I did in the kitchen before.

But the more this is the case, the more uneasy Shui Qingqing feels in her heart.

Unprovoked, how could the steward suddenly be so good to her?

Could it be that her identity was revealed by Mei Zijin, and he arranged it?

However, when she followed the steward into the courtyard of the upper room, Mei Zijin was drinking tea with 6 Lin in the pavilion in the courtyard, and when she saw her enter, she didn't blink her eyelids, let alone look at her more, and the description didn't look like she recognized her at all......

Shui Qingqing, who was full of doubts, knew that from the time she appeared in front of Mei Zijin and Liu Lin again with an old woman's face, Mei Zijin's heart blossomed, and she was so excited that her hand holding the cup trembled, and she didn't know how much concentration it took to calm herself down.

And 6 Lin, who was sitting opposite him, after seeing Shui Qingqing's appearance, looked at Mei Zijin's hard work and forbearance, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he had to endure it desperately, and was almost suffocated by the tea in his mouth.

It wasn't until Shui Qingqing went to the warehouse in the backyard with the steward that 6 Lin let go of his throat and laughed, and exclaimed: "The county lord of Guanqing has really never let me down - she is dressed like this, I'm afraid only you can recognize it in this world." ”

Mei Zijin's heart, which had been hanging for months, finally fell to the ground steadily, and her eyes looked at the figure behind the disappearing pillars, and she couldn't wait to find her, imagining that she would be embraced in countless dreams. But when she thought of what she had done to her before, she was kicked out of the Shuai Mansion, and Mei Zijin, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was afraid of cowardice for the first time......

In the afternoon, the steward asked Shui Qingqing to send a new set of porcelain to the Hou Ye's room.

On a summer afternoon, the masters in the Shuai Mansion are all taking a nap in the afternoon, and the people are also hiding in the shade to nap, and it is quiet.

Shui Qingqing went to Mei Zijin's room with the porcelain, and after pushing the door in, she put her things away, and quietly looked through the window to the bedroom inside, and saw Mei Zijin lying on her back on the bed, as if she was asleep.

There was no one else in the house, Shui Qingqing's heart was pounding, and she wanted to go in to see him, but she was afraid that he would see him, what if he drove himself away because he hated the way he was now?

Just as she was about to quietly retreat, she heard a lazy voice from inside: "Come in and pour tea!" ”

Shui Qingqing's heart jumped, knowing that Mei Zijin was calling her, and she couldn't dodge, so she had to be bold enough to enter the bedroom, pour a bowl of tea from the table and come to the bedside, bow her head and hand it to him.

When she poured the tea, Mei Zijin on the bed had already sat up, looking at her with straight eyes, like a hungry wolf, which made her heart can't stop hair.

Mei Zijin took the tea bowl in her hand and drank it in one gulp. She was about to retreat, but her hand was grabbed by a strong force, and the next moment, before she could react, her body had fallen into his arms.

"Hou ...... Hou Ye ......"

Shui Qingqing was shocked, and her tongue stammered.

However, the next moment, her half-open mouth was blocked by someone like a hungry wolf......
