296. God does not know the ghosts
Strange, what about him? Why didn't you come back with Hou Ye?
The ancient ballad didn't find the bamboo spirit, and he looked lost. She lowered her head and couldn't help but cry secretly. Su Xiaojin stepped forward to comfort her, the majority of troops were behind, so there was no need to worry.
"Really?" The old ballad broke into laughter.
Tang Muchen smiled, rest assured, your bamboo spirit is intact!
Tang Muchen's words made Gu Yu blush, and she lowered her head and hurriedly left with joy in her heart.
Hou Ye and Mrs. have not seen each other for so long, they must have a lot of confidant things to say, and they will not be in the way here.
Tang Muchen squatted on the ground, looking at the sleeping baby in love, his face exuding a fatherly light. He stretched out his somewhat rough hand and gently stroked the baby's face. And because he was worried that the baby would be woken up by himself, his movements were very gentle.
Su Xiaojin looked at this warm picture from the side, and was a little jealous.
"It's so good, he's as good-looking as you are." For a long time, Tang Muchen said to Su Xiaojin with a smile. Although the child is still young, this angular face, handsome nose bridge, and cherry-like mouth are exactly the same as Su Xiaojin, and he must be a beautiful man who fascinates thousands of girls when he grows up!
Su Xiaojin smiled, hugged his arm and shook it, this love story is good, she loves to hear it!
"Thank you, ma'am." Tang Muchen looked at her and said affectionately.
Tang Muchen's words made Su Xiaojin's tears come out again.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes, she hadn't seen him for half a year, he had lost so much weight, and his originally fair face had a blue beard, but he had more tenacity and fortitude.
She didn't speak, she hugged him tightly, sniffing his scent to her heart's content. Tang Muchen directly picked her up and put her on the bed, and the two fell asleep together.
Meng watched day and night, seeing that Su Xiaojin was not out of the gate, thinking that Tang Muchen had no news, and she became increasingly obsessed with sadness.
Hmph, sooner or later I'm going to die of depression. She thought smugly.
She had already thought about everything, how the subordinates in Su Xiaojin's mansion were going to plan, and even Tang Muchen's house she had thought about how to deal with it. Tang Muchen has no news, presumably he must have died on the battlefield a long time ago. There is only one Su Xiaojin left, and she has her own way to deal with her!
Thinking like this, Meng couldn't help but feel good, and she told the small kitchen to cook a few more good dishes. As soon as she thought that Su Xiaojin, the thorn in her eye, could be pulled out immediately, she had a great appetite.
During this period, the evening charm was not idle. Meng Xiaoling was bedridden, so she began to investigate Meng and the mute mother-in-law alone.
The maidservant Zhu'er was loyal to her, and the two cooperated tacitly, but they were not discovered by the Meng family for a while. Pearls told her that she found her mute mother-in-law to be simple and untouched, as if she was very defensive against everyone.
Wan Mei thought it was strange and decided to sneak into the mute mother-in-law's room to take advantage of her defenselessness. As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. She asked Zhu'er to dress up at the door, and she used the tools she had prepared in advance to open the doors and windows of the mute mother-in-law.
They agreed in advance that when they saw someone coming, they would hit their clothes twice with a mallet. Pearls nodded, indicating that she had written it down.
Evening Charm sneaks out of the window, and in a dimly lit hut, she accidentally finds a lot of bottles and cans. Wan Mei was about to pick it up and take a closer look, but after hearing the sound of a mallet outside the door, she listened attentively, and it seemed that Zhu'er was passing on the news.
Sure enough, there was a slight sound of unlocking outside the door, and she hurriedly lifted her skirt and got under the bed.
The door was gently pushed open, and it was indeed Aunt Liu, who was cooking in the back kitchen. She craned her head and looked curiously around the room. Wan Mei frowned, who is this Aunt Liu? Why also investigate the mute mother-in-law?
She was thinking about it when she heard the sound of mallets faintly again. It's over, and Wan Mei's face has changed greatly.
Before she could react, an old voice came.
"Second Aunt Liu, what are you doing here?" The sound is not loud, but it is extremely cold, and what is even more terrifying is that it is full of a thick murderous aura!
The night charm secretly screamed badly. As she expected, the mute mother-in-law suddenly returned, and to her shocking surprise, she spoke!
Second Aunt Liu also heard the mute mother-in-law speak for the first time, and she was stunned for a while, not knowing that the other party had already moved to kill.
"I, I am" Before she could finish her sentence, she was choked by a silver needle. Almost at the same time, she fell in horror and fell to the ground hard.
Wan Mei covered her mouth in fright, and she didn't dare to come out. The dumb mother-in-law's kung fu is so high, but she will kill Aunt Liu in a moment. She snorted coldly in her heart, she was really Meng's lackey, and she was as inhumane as her, leaving no room for life.
The mute mother-in-law looked at the gradually cooling corpse on the ground, and a sneer appeared on her face. It's really tiresome to dare to trespass into your room.
She straightened her clothes, walked to the door, opened it, and looked her head out. Sure that no one found out, she closed the door, took a sack from the beam, and put Aunt Liu inside.
Wan Mei watched her skillful movements and guessed that it wasn't the first time she had done such a thing. This old witch is hiding deep enough!
After the mute mother-in-law was loaded, she opened the door and went out, presumably looking for a carriage to transfer the body out.
Wan Mei didn't dare to delay, and quickly crawled out from under the bed, ready to get out of the window. Before leaving, she took a small bottle on the table.
When Pearls saw her, she immediately walked over, and the two of them walked towards their room together.
After sitting down, Wan Mei clutched her chest and found her heart pounding. She picked up the glass of water on the table and drank it down, finally calming herself down.
"Auntie?" Zhu'er looked at her with an ugly face and looked at her a little nervously.
Wan Mei shook her head, she was fine, but it was the first time she did this kind of thing, and she was always worried that she would show her flaws.
"No, it won't. The mute mother-in-law just delayed for a while and left, and she shouldn't have noticed. Pearls shook her head, and she watched, and the old woman was soon gone.
Wan Mei glanced at her, I'm afraid she didn't know the news of Aunt Liu's murder. She began to struggle with whether to tell her the news that Aunt Liu had been killed because she had accidentally seen the secret of the mute mother-in-law's drug making.
Zhu'er didn't know, so after adjusting her mentality, she went to the yard to dry her clothes. Wan Mei looked at her through the window, and her mood couldn't be calmed down for a long time. The mute mother-in-law's voice lingered in her ears like a nightmare, and the situation of her killing Aunt Liu made her unforgettable.
She looked at the small white bottle in her sleeve and decided to show it to Su Xiaojin. What the hell is in this, why is the mute mother-in-law so afraid of others finding out!
Tang Muchen, who calmed down, told Su Xiaojin about the war. It turned out that Tang Muchen was indeed injured, and when he was fighting with the other party, he was injured by the opponent's hidden weapon.
