Chapter 56: The Body in the Courtyard
Mengqiu held Xichun's hand and blamed herself: "Sister Luqiao suffered from the wind and cold, and she suddenly had a high fever last night, and my master and I sent her to the doctor at Yamashita overnight. I wanted to come back sooner, but I still worried you. ”
When Xichun and Nian Xia heard this, they were shocked.
Xichun immediately clenched Mengqiu's hand and asked in a panic, "Sister Luqiao is better?" ”
Nian Xia looked behind them, but she didn't see Lu Qiao's figure, and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't Sister Lu Qiao come back with you?" But is it not good? ”
Xichun turned his head to the ground and complained, "What are you talking about!" ”
Nian Xia hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and also said "Bah, Bah, Bah" to the ground.
"Look at my urgency, what is this talking about." She looked up at Yu Youwei, "Master, is Sister Luqiao better?" ”
Although Yu Youwei felt a little tired, she forced a smile and comforted them: "Lu Qiao is fine, I am recuperating at the old doctor at the bottom of the mountain, and I should be back in two days." If you are still worried, go down the mountain and see her. ”
She saw that Xichun and Nian Xia had already put their minds at ease, and said, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the room to rest first." ”
Nian Xia hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said, "Apprentice, wait for the master to rest." ”
Yu Youwei didn't speak, and she took herself back to the room.
After that night, Lu Qiao had been recuperating at the bottom of the mountain for two days. Because of the sudden lack of manpower in the courtyard, Xichun and the others were very busy. Originally, I wanted to go down the mountain to see the green warp in my spare time, but now it has been delayed.
Yu Youwei had just had breakfast, and Nian Xia was helping her comb her hair. Although Nian Xia's hands are also dexterous, she always feels that her hair is more in line with her heart without a green comb.
"Master, it's not good!"
Mengqiu hurriedly ran in and said loudly.
Yu Youwei didn't even look at her, and continued to bow her head and pick up the hairpin on the table.
Nian Xia peeked at Yu Youwei's expression in the glasses, the movements of her hands did not stop, and she said softly: "What's the matter?" Be angry and speak slowly. ”
Mengqiu looked up at Yu Youwei, smoothed her anger, and said in a regular manner: "Master, a large group of officers and soldiers suddenly came from outside, surrounding the entire courtyard. ”
Yu Youwei picked up a pink hairpin on the table, handed it to Nian Xia behind her, and pointed to a place on the bun.
"Just plug it in here."
Nian Xia gently inserted the hairpin into Yu Youwei's hair, and then picked up the comb on the table and combed the broken hair on the side.
"Master got it."
Yu Youwei raised her eyes to look at herself in the mirror, tilted her head left and right to look at the bun, got up and said, "Then let's go outside and see who is so pompous." ”
As soon as Yu Youwei walked out of the door with Nian Xia and Mengqiu, she saw Xichun blocking a person, although the person was dressed luxuriously, his words and deeds were quite frivolous.
She squinted, and when she saw this person's face clearly, she couldn't help but have a sneer on her face.
"Master Pei has such a big pomp today!"
Xichun turned his head and saw his master come out, and glared at Pei Cheng angrily. Then he walked to Yu Youwei's side angrily, pointed at Pei Cheng and said angrily: "Master! Master Pei had to forcibly search the yard, and the apprentice said that he had to ask the master for advice. Who knew he wouldn't listen, I stopped him, and he still ... He also..."
Xichun was ashamed and annoyed, but he couldn't say anything when he said this.
Pei Cheng looked at Xichun with a wicked smile on his face, and laughed loudly: "Why didn't Miss Xichun say it!" Speak up, let me, brothers, hear what I'm doing to you! ”
With that, he looked up and laughed.
The officers and soldiers behind him also coaxed: "Say it! Say it! ”
No matter how wild Xichun is, he is also a girl's family after all. Listening to the commotion in the courtyard, and remembering his previous aggression on his words and actions, he suddenly felt humiliated.
She stomped her foot on the ground, pointed at Pei Cheng and said angrily: "You! You're a disciple! ”
The coldness in Yu Youwei's eyes deepened, and she raised her hand and pressed Xichun's hand. With a sneer on her face, "Master Pei, you really live up to your "good" reputation!" ”
Pei Cheng's laughter suddenly stopped, he looked at Yu Youwei with a gloomy face and said, "You have teased me twice or three times, and you are still making trouble at the banquet I arranged, what's wrong with asking for some interest on your apprentice?" ”
His eyes looked at the Xichun beside Yu Youwei unscrupulously, and a lewd smile overflowed on his face. "Don't say it, you apprentices are really good-looking, much better than the girls in the building!"
Xichun and the others still had nothing to do with the world, so they were looked at naked by the malicious eyes of the whole yard, and they couldn't help but be a little scared in their hearts. They got together and hid behind Yu Youwei.
Yu Youwei took a step forward, blocking Xichun and the others behind her, blocking those gazes.
"Pei Cheng, don't deceive people too much!"
Pei Cheng suddenly showed a sympathetic look on his face, he shook his head and said, "Yu Xuanji, you yourself can't protect yourself now, and you still want to protect your apprentices?!" ”
Yu Youwei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "What do you mean?" ”
Pei Cheng chuckled lightly and walked over in the courtyard, "What do I mean?" ”
He suddenly stopped, looked up at Yu Youwei and laughed, "What do you guess I mean?" ”
Yu Youwei didn't speak, just looked at him with a cold face and looked like a villain.
Pei Cheng put away his hippie smile, looked at Yu Youwei with an indifferent face, and said loudly: "Someone reported that there is a corpse buried in your courtyard!" ”
These words frightened Xichun behind Yu Youwei and their faces changed.
Xichun walked out around Yu Youwei, pointed at Pei Cheng and said angrily: "You spread rumors!" How could there be a corpse here! ”
Pei Cheng sneered, "Whether I'm spreading rumors or not, you'll know as soon as you dig it." ”
He turned his head sideways and shouted to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Dig! ”
Yu Youwei looked at Pei Cheng's confident appearance, and her heart tightened. Judging by his appearance, he must have come prepared today, and vowed to charge himself with a crime.
Yu Youwei stopped Xichun behind her and whispered to them: "If something happens today, you don't care about me, take care of yourself first." Then go to Lord Wen Tingyun Wen, he will protect you. ”
When Xichun heard this, he immediately panicked. "Master, is it really as he said, there are corpses buried in this courtyard!"
Yu Youwei turned her head to look at Pei Cheng, and saw that he was looking at herself with a smile, and opened her lips and said in a low voice: "If he wants to charge me, he will bury one in it." ”
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "My lord, I dug it!" ”
Nian Xia's hands tightened, and he looked in the direction of the officer and soldier who spoke in surprise.
"So fast!"
Pei Cheng deliberately glanced at Yu Youwei and walked towards the place. He looked at the corpses in the pit, turned his head to look at Yu Youwei and said loudly: "Take down all the people in this courtyard for me!" ”
