Chapter Fifty-Six: Extraneous Branches
Early the next morning, Agarwood came in and said that Gong Xuan was late. Erya thought that today was the day she said she would leave for Beijing, and guessed that she should have come to urge her to go.
"Miss Lu, it's time for us to leave today." Gong Xuanchi got straight to the point, and there was no extra politeness.
"No, not today." Erya shook her head and refused.
Gong Xuanchi could guess what she was worried about, but if she didn't enter Beijing again, Gong Jueyi was afraid that she would be angry, and issued a clear order to send her to the palace before the end of the year.
"Tomorrow, just postpone it for a day." Erya said firmly.
Gong Xuanchi hesitated, but still agreed. "I said that I can't change it tomorrow, otherwise I will tie you back."
Not long after Gong Xuanchi left, Lu Zhong, who was sent by Erya to keep an eye on the movements of the Lin Mansion, ran back, saying that the Lin Mansion seemed to have an accident again. Without asking too much, Erya hurried to the Lin Mansion.
Lu Zhong hesitated a little, "Boss, why don't you go, I heard that the Lin Mansion is going to be in vain." ”
Explain? She glared at Lu Zhong, "What's the matter, you can make it clear!" ”
Lu Zhong glanced at the boss aggrievedly, "It's not that I haven't had time to say it yet, I heard that Mrs. Lin used a knife to cut Lord Lin's outer room, and she is dying." ”
It turned out to be this, Er Ya almost thought that something had happened to Mrs. Lin or Lin Guizhu, but she didn't expect it to be the outer room that turned the Lin Mansion upside down.
It's really karma, and she has a little insight into Mrs. Lin's arrogance, but she didn't expect a woman in the house to have such courage.
The carriage drove to the gate of the Lin Mansion and stopped, the gate of the mansion was hidden, Lu Zhong stepped forward to call the door several times but no one responded, and the huge Lin Mansion didn't even know where the guards went. Erya didn't care too much, and took Lu Zhong into the Lin Mansion.
The garden of the Lin Mansion was bustling, and the noisy and insulting voices were endless, "Hahaha, even if I die, I must not look at the person who wants to harm my daughter!" A crazy laugh came, it was Mrs. Lin's voice, and then Lord Lin's angry shouts sounded, "If something happens to the child in You'er's belly, I will definitely want you to be buried with you!" After a while, the noise stopped, as if Master Lin had left, and Mrs. Lin laughed maniacally as if she had lost her heart.
Er Ya pulled Lu Zhong to the side to hide from those who were watching the excitement, and when the crowd dispersed, Er Ya walked out.
He was hesitating to go over to see Mrs. Lin, when he heard a woman's scream, "Madam, Madam!" ”
Hearing this exclamation, the second girl didn't have time to think about it, ran over, and saw Mrs. Lin slowly falling, and the maid on the side was startled by the sudden change, and she didn't come back to her senses and stood aside.
The piercing red on Mrs. Lin's neck gradually expanded, warm blood trickled out, and the woman closed her eyes with a strange smile of relief on her face.
"Call the doctor!" Although it seems that people can't be saved, Erya still doesn't want to miss a chance, after all, now Lin Guizhu is only her mother who treats her sincerely.
The maid came back to her senses and hurried out. Erya squatted down and wanted to take a handkerchief to wrap Mrs. Lin's wound, but saw her suddenly open her eyes and smiled, "Don't be busy, I'm tired of living too, in the future, my Zhu'er, please help me take care of it more, tell her...... Her mother loves her very much......" and swallowed.
Mu Ran got up, and Lu Zhong saw Mrs. Lin lying motionless on the ground, and guessed that he was afraid that he was gone.
"Boss, shall we go now?"
Erya shook her head, Lin Guizhu was in more pain now, she was afraid that her heart would be difficult to solve, she wanted to talk to her.
At this time, he heard that a family member hurriedly ran in, Lu Zhong stepped forward and asked what was going on, the little guy looked anxious, thinking that Lu Zhong was also a family member of the Lin Mansion, but he said that someone from the Fang family had come, and after speaking, he hurriedly ran to tell Lord Lin. Didn't notice Mrs. Lin on the other side of the garden pond in the slightest.
Erya gave Lu Zhong a look, the Fang family is here, I'm afraid this matter will be more troublesome, but now I will definitely be found out when I go out, what should I do?
Erya was in a hurry, when he suddenly glanced at the city wall on the side, and glanced at Lu Zhong, who understood it.
Lu Zhong took a momentum forward, kicked the wall and barely climbed the wall, reaching out to pull Erya, who was not as flexible as Lu Zhong, the wall was only one-third wide of the soles of his shoes, and he didn't stand firmly, and threw himself straight to the ground. Oh, my God! Will it be disfigured, Erya's heart was almost frightened, but the imaginary pain did not come as expected, a wisp of plum fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, and then the soft clothes stuck to his face.
"What? Shocked to see that you didn't fall to your death? The man's indifferent taunt came into his ears, and Erya instantly came back to his senses, oh my God! Something happened to Gong Xuanchi who saved himself, it was really embarrassing and embarrassing, and I am afraid that this favor will not be paid off.
"Uh...... Momentarily missed, that ...... Thanks for the rescue. After saying that, a certain girl ran away like a rabbit.
What happened in the Lin Mansion is terrifying, and the smell of blood in the Lin Mansion is now so strong that people dare not approach.
Back at the house, Erya wrote a letter and asked Lu Zhong to give it to her after hearing the news of Lin Guizhu, and took another envelope, loaded it with the silver ticket that had not been paid for the house at the beginning, and let Qian Fu keep it, the master said that he would go back to pick it up after a year and stay with Qian Fu, if she is not there at that time, Qian Fu can also call the shots.
After arranging these things, Er Ya began to pack the luggage that she was going to take away when she left tomorrow. The window slammed, and she became alert, took two steps back, and saw the old man standing in front of her.
"Stinky old man, you're going to scare people to death!"
The old man stood at the table and poured a glass of water to drink, and sighed comfortably, "This calendar is really cold." Seeing the expression of the girl in front of him, he straightened his face, "You girl hasn't had anything to do lately, right?" ”
Erya shook her head, this question is strange, does this old man think something will happen to her?
Then he asked, "Who are you, what is the relationship between my mother and you, and what do you mean by this?"
"I'll tell you the truth, I am the Lingxu Zhenren in the mouth of Chongwu, your mother is the person we must protect, and now there are people in the Chu State who want to harm you, you must be careful in everything." Lingxu Zhenren didn't want to hide the girl in front of him anymore, so he told her the general thing.
Someone wants to harm her, or is it from Chu State, is it related to her mother?
"Who is trying to harm me, can you say?" The man is in the shadows, and if she knows nothing, she is like a blind man, unable to find her way.
"It's Queen Chu." Saying that, the old man asked her to stretch out her hand, Er Yaben was a little hesitant, but he still stretched out his wrist, he touched it, and his face was unknown, "Are you pregnant?" ”
Erya blushed and nodded.
"This matter must be prudent, you must let this child be born safely!" This is the hope of the Chu State, the old man's words were a little excited, with ardent hope in his eyes.
"What if I don't?" She didn't know what the old man wanted to do, why she had to give birth to this child.
"No, you won't, if you want to protect your sisters, you're going to give birth to this baby, and it's better to pray that it's a girl." The old man's tone was serious, "You must know that the one who wants you to lose your innocence the most and can't give birth to a child is Empress Chu, the decision is in your hands, it all depends on how you choose." ”
After the old man finished speaking, there was no shadow, he believed that this girl was not a fool, she knew what to do and what not to do. After the old man left, Erya fell into a contradiction.
Yes, she didn't like this child very much, and she wanted to abort it at one point, but now what the old man said showed that if she didn't want this child, it would only make the enemies hiding in the shadows happy, and it was a matter of the safety of her two sisters, so she had to be cautious.
This kid turned out to be a weapon against the enemy?!
Lin Guizhu's innocence was destroyed, it should be the handiwork of Queen Chu, otherwise the old man would not have come to say those words to her.
If it was really Queen Chu's doing...... She is fighting for her life, and she has to compete with her!
