Chapter Forty-Eight: Ink-dyed Jade Pendant
After sending Wen Tingyun off, Lu Qiao was stopped by Xichun and Nian Xia as soon as he returned to the main hall.
The two of them talked about each other, and it was not easy for her to hear the meaning.
She was in a hurry, and she forgot Yu Youwei's reprimand before, and raised her hand to push the door open.
The moment she pushed the door open, Yu Youwei pushed down the teacup on the table, followed by a loud "pop".
"Ahh
Two startling sounds came from behind Midori.
Lu Qiao looked at Yu Youwei's expression, turned his head sideways and pointed to the ground at Xichun and Nianxia, who were frightened behind him.
The two of them hurried forward to clean up the wreckage of the cup.
After seeing the two of them clean up and leave, Lu Qiao stepped forward and asked softly, "What's wrong with Master Wen and Master Wen?" ”
Yu Youwei ignored her, stood up with a "bang", and walked straight in the direction of the study.
Lu Qiao didn't know what Wen Tingyun had said to her, which made her mood like this. She was worried that something would happen to her, so she hurried after her.
Yu Youwei strode to the door of the study, pushed the door of the study and walked in, the door collided with the wall and made two loud noises behind her.
She walked over to her desk and stared at the undried inkstone on it. Suddenly lowered his head and pulled off the jade pendant hanging from his waist, raised his hand and threw it towards the inkstone on the table.
Lu Qiao couldn't catch up with Yu Youwei's steps, and finally trotted to the study. As soon as I entered the door, I saw her like this, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I blurted out: "No!" ”
But it was still too late after all, and the jade pendant flew in the direction of the inkstone like a parabola in front of her eyes, and fell impartially in the undried ink.
Lu Qiao gasped, stepped forward in a panic, and raised his hand to take the jade pendant out of the inkstone.
The original crystal clear jade pendant has been stained with ink, and it is impossible to see the original appearance at all. There was also a little ink flowing down, staining the tassels underneath.
"Master, this is your most precious object. If anything happens, you can't get angry with it! ”
Yu Youwei turned her head away and said coldly: "If he comes again, you will give this to him, and tell him that I don't want to see him again in the future." ”
"Master." Lu Qiao looked at Yu Youwei's resolute face, and knew that he couldn't go against it, so he had to respond. "Yes, I know."
"Master!"
Nian Xia shouted loudly as she ran in from outside.
But as soon as she entered the house, she felt something strange in the house, she swallowed her saliva, and after standing still in a proper manner, she whispered: "Master, Chen Yun Gongzi is gone." He asked me to tell you that I have something to do today, and I will come back to see you another day. ”
Yu Youwei was no longer interested at this time, so she didn't care about Chen Wei's going, and asked both of them to retreat with a soft response.
Yu Youwei was the only one left in the room, and she sat at her desk, not knowing what she was pondering.
The night slowly came, and the stars broke through the night and poked out one by one. Even though there was the light of the moon on the side, they still desperately shone faintly.
"Really?"
Pei Cheng stood up from the chair he was leaning back on, and looked at Shuncai in front of him with a happy face.
Shuncai stepped forward with a flattering face and arched his hand: "Really! Naturally, take it seriously! I only found out after bribing the old lady's apricot. She told me in person that the old lady's face has become more and more ugly in recent days, and she has taken more tonic in recent days than in the past half a month. I'm afraid it's just these two days! ”
Pei Cheng raised his head and laughed twice, raised his hand and patted Shuncai's shoulder, "You did a good job this time!" ”
When Shuncai heard this, his heart was ecstatic. The news has satisfied my grandfather, and the reward this time must be rich. But he still humbly said: "It's Ye Hongfu Qitian, this great cause in the future will be successful!" ”
Even though Pei Cheng knew that he was flattering himself, he still felt this in his heart, and his face was full of red light. He propped his hands on the table, a wicked smile on his face.
"The old woman is dead, and I think there is still anyone who can stop me again!"
He turned his head to look at Shuncai, raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way, how is that fish mystery?" ”
Shuncai said respectfully: "After she succeeded at the banquet, she privately sent away the two maidservants of the Li family. I've been staying in Guanli lately, and there's been no movement. ”
Pei Cheng's face became cold, "You dare to use me!" He changed his words, "Did you kidnap those two maidservants?" ”
By the way, he said: "Stopped, locked in the broken courtyard in the east of the city, waiting for the master to fall at any time." ”
Pei Cheng's eyes stared at the dark night outside the window, and the corners of his mouth curled. "Serve me well!"
Shun nodded in response, "Yes, master!" He looked up hesitantly, "It's just that the master... That fish mystery is the king of might..."
Pei Cheng's ears suddenly heard a slight sound in the room, and he interrupted Shuncai's unfinished words loudly.
"Who is it?"
He looked at the place where the voice had come from, and in the dark place where the candle flame was not lit, there was a man in black standing with his back to them.
"Whoever is sneaking around there, report your name!"
All that answered him was darkness and silence.
Pei Cheng frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Shuncai, and raised his hand to point to the gilded dagger placed aside.
Shuncai suddenly understood what his master meant, he swallowed his saliva, picked up the dagger on the table, and tiptoed towards the man in black.
Pei Cheng saw that Shuncai had already walked to the man's side, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a smug smile. Just when he thought he was going to get his hands on it, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
He slowly glanced sideways, the bright blade resting on his neck with unmistakable precision. His throat tightened, and a drop of cold sweat broke out from his forehead and dripped down his cheek.
Pei Cheng just wanted to make a sound to stop Shuncai's action, but suddenly found that Shuncai had already raised his dagger and was about to stab the man in black.
Shun Cai used all his strength to stab the dagger towards the neck of the man in black, and saw that the blade was about to touch his skin.
At this critical moment, the man in black moved his right foot, and a 180-degree back turn dodged this blow.
Shun Cai didn't expect that he would fall short at this time, and raised his head in horror. But before he could see the face of the person in front of him, he was kicked to the ground by a side kick from the man in black, and he felt that he passed out as soon as it was dark in front of him.
The dagger also fell out of his hand, making an arc in the air, and fell not far from where he fell with a "clang".
Pei Cheng thought that the man in black was dead, but looking at Shuncai, who was lying on the ground at this time and didn't know if he had any breath, his eyes were full of fear, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
"How offended the two heroes! Whatever you want, I will satisfy you, and I only ask you not to kill me. ”
The man behind him can be approached without being noticed, and it must be a deep internal force. The man in black not far away was agile, and only a slight kick could make Shuncai lose consciousness, and his martial arts would definitely not be under the man behind him.
Now that he is planted in the hands of the two of them, there is no room for tricks at all, so he can only pray for them to ask for something.
