Rumors of chasing after the wind?

Shen Zhi thought of what the other party said almost instantly.

But she only pretended not to know, and asked suspiciously: "I don't know what the rumors are, but the third lady took it to heart, and specially came to Shen Zhi to verify it, the third lady might as well."

Tell Shen Zhi to listen to it. ”

Xu Shi paused slightly, his moist eyes glanced at the few people waiting around him, and bit his lip as a gesture of embarrassment.

Even if you don't speak, this kind of performance can also make people instantly see what the other party means, but it won't make people feel unhappy.

Shen Zhi admired in his heart, raised his eyes and signaled into the painting to leave, turned his eyes to look, and saw that the maid brought by the Xu family did not know when to quietly retreat

Finish.

It's a very clever maid.

Shen Zhi retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Shi who was sitting in front of him and said, "Now there are only the two of us left in the courtyard, so if the third lady has something to say, just say it." ”

Seeing this, the Xu family seemed to be relieved, and no longer sold Guan Zi and said: "This matter, the concubine still heard it when she listened to the maids who were waiting around her, and said that she was outside these days

Circulating some very strange remarks......"

"What rumors?" Shen Zhi tilted his ears slightly, making a look of listening carefully.

Xu raised his eyes without a trace, glanced at her, and said softly: "It is rumored that the two young ladies of the Shen Mansion went to Xiangchan Temple to solve the sign together, and the third young lady is such a rare and rare emperor."

Signed, and the second lady ......" She bit her lip, hesitating as if she didn't know whether to say the next thing or not.

Shen Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, his face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "The third lady, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xu nodded, raised his eyes to look at her, and said softly: "People outside are all rumored to be in trouble with the fate of the second young lady, not a good fate......

"The concubine thought about it, and felt that this matter should have been spread from the mansion first, otherwise how could people outside know, but it was okay if the concubine didn't touch the mansion on weekdays

, Second, what is the specific truth of this, the concubine body is not clear, and I am worried that the second miss has not heard the wind outside for the time being, so I want to tell it, I hope the second miss is not

It's good to think that the concubine is troublesome. As he spoke, there seemed to be a faint worry between his eyebrows.

Shen Zhi quickly went over her words in his mind, figuring out what the other party meant, but he made a shocked expression on his face, and only after half a sound did he say, "That's what the outside said."

……”

As she spoke, she frowned slightly, as if she had encountered some problem, bored and depressed, and had nothing to say for a while.

Xu secretly observed her reaction and took it back. Shen Zhi maintained the expression on his face quietly, but he felt more and more that this Xu family was deep and pondering

Impermeable.

first used such a weak posture to lower her vigilance, and then said such good words for her, and then made a nervous appearance that she didn't know if what she was doing was right

, the image of a weak and kind-hearted person is vividly interpreted, but at first glance, I can't hear any problems at all, and if I don't think about it, I really think that the other party is doing it for myself

Considered.

If he was in the current situation in his previous life, and when he heard the other party's words that sounded reassuring, I am afraid that he would have been unable to help but pour out the resentment in his heart a long time ago.

Shen Zhi lowered his eyes and hid the suspicious look in his eyes, but Xu took the initiative to come over and say such a thing to her, what did he want?

The two were silent for a long time, and no one took the initiative to speak, seeing that the work of a cup of tea had passed, Shen Zhi was still frowning and thinking, and Xu's eyes were in his eyes

A flash of disappointment flashed almost imperceptibly, and soon he reined in the emotions that were revealed at this moment, stood up, and said in a soft voice: "I think the second lady has other things to do."

, the concubine is not good to bother the second lady here for too long, so she will leave. ”

With that, she turned to leave.

is really a calm person, she deliberately hung the other party for so long, and she didn't see the other party's purpose of being in a hurry to reveal it in the future.

But if she is calm, she won't lose to her, but it seems that she can't know the purpose of the other party's coming here today.

Shen Zhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he got up and said, "Shen Zhi send the third lady out." ”

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard, and Xu's maid and Jinqin and Zhuhua were waiting on both sides, and when they saw the two of them coming out, they both stepped forward.

When Xu was about to say goodbye, he suddenly grabbed Shen Zhi's hand, smiled slightly in Shen Zhi's stunned gaze, and there seemed to be a sad look in his eyes: "Speaking of which, time has really passed."

Quick, in the blink of an eye, the second miss has already reached the age of almost Xuan, if the lady is still there, she will definitely be very happy to see the second miss so unparalleled. ”

The lady in her mouth, although she didn't say which lady it was, but several people knew who the other party was talking about.

After saying this, the other party turned around and left with the maid.

Shen Zhi clenched his hands, his eyes sank slightly, but he turned around and walked towards the house.

"Miss, Mrs. Xu didn't do anything to you, did she?" Iriqin followed behind, muttering quietly.

Although this Mrs. Xu seems to be very easy to get along with, she always feels that the other party is not as close as it seems on the surface, like a person who is too perfect to be perfect

Flawed people, on the contrary, make people feel creepy.

Shen Zhi shook his head and said, "You guys are guarding outside, don't let people get close." ”

In the blank gaze of Zhuqin, Shen Zhi entered the room and closed the door.

She took a deep breath and walked over to the table and sat down, spreading out her palms that had been clenched.

A crumpled ball of paper suddenly appeared in the palm of her white and slender hand.

Thinking about it, Xu actually knows all the rumors outside, and the reason why she came to say such a thing is that on the one hand, it is to be a temptation, and on the other hand, it is this paper ball

Reason.

Shen Zhi suppressed the suspicion in his heart and slowly unfolded the paper ball.

It is not like the kind of fragrant notepaper, nor is it as gentle and easy as Xu's words on the surface, it is an ordinary blank paper, on which a simple sentence is written with an ink pen

Words: "The cause of your mother's death, Zishi, Zhu Xuan, alone." ”

Just such a simple sentence, Shen Zhi's eyes shrank suddenly, and his brain exploded.

The cause of her mother's death?

Didn't her mother die of illness?

Shen Zhi squeezed the piece of paper tightly, his mind was a little dazed, and a hundred thoughts flashed through his heart in an instant, dazed and shocked.

Whether it is in the previous life or in this life, her memories of her mother are all related to medicine. For as long as she can remember, there has always been a strong smell of medicine in her mother's yard, her mother's

The face is also a dark yellow that has not healed for a long time, and at first glance it looks like a person who has been sick for a long time.

Later, she learned from others that the reason why her mother was always sick was because she injured her body when she was born, and although she had been treated several times for a long time, she still couldn't save her mother

A few years later, he died of a serious illness.

She had never suspected the cause of her mother's death, but now she was told that her mother's death was not as simple as she thought.

Maybe there's a conspiracy she doesn't know about.

This piece of paper is obviously just an ordinary piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wings, but at this moment, Shen Zhi feels that this piece of paper seems to weigh a thousand catties, and she can barely catch it when it is hot.

To go, or not to go?

Almost without hesitation, Shen Zhi instantly made up his mind, and his eyes calmed down instantly.

Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy in this, since her mother is involved, she also has to figure out what Xu's words mean.

******

The sky soon darkened, and the lanterns of the Shen Mansion were gradually lit, and after dinner, the painting was making a bed in the room.

At this time in the past, Shen Zhidu passed the time with a random notebook behind the bookcase, and only changed his bedclothes and prepared to fall asleep until everything was ready.

However, when I entered the painting today, I keenly noticed that my young lady seemed to be a little absent-minded, so she said that the book in her hand stayed there when she went there to light the candle

A page has not been turned, and now that the bed is made, it is still the same page in the past.

Rao is nerves are as big as entering the piano, and he also noticed a little bit at this moment, and looked at the painting suspiciously.

The room was very quiet, and the sound of sparks crackling and exploding in the candlelight could be clearly heard, Shen Zhi's eyes drooped slightly, his eyes fell on the book in his hand, but his mind had long been unable to fly

Where to go.

After waiting and waiting, I finally couldn't help but remind softly: "Miss, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest." ”

Shen Zhi's eyelashes trembled, he came back to his senses, put the book back with a calm face, but said, "Don't worry, I'm going out tonight." ”

He opened his mouth in surprise, and hesitated for a while: "But it's not time yet." She thought that Shen Zhi was talking about going to the Anding Palace.

Shen Zhi shook his head and said, "It's going to Zhuxuan." ”

Zhuxuan?

I was even more surprised when I entered the painting, that wasn't it......

"Isn't that the courtyard of the Third Lady?" Jin Qin subconsciously lowered his voice, and his eyes widened, "Miss, are you going to the third lady?" ”

Miss and the third lady have never had any dealings, why did the third lady just come to visit her own young lady during the day today, and the young lady is going to the third lady's yard at night?

Shen Zhi still trusts the painting and the piano, these two have never betrayed her in the previous life, and they are still the same in this life.

It is easy to have an accident by keeping the two in the dark, Shen Zhi simply took out the note, and after both of them read it, she opened the lid of the incense burner and threw the note in, Ping

Watch quietly as it burns out.

If there really was another reason for the death of the mother, there must have been another conspiracy involved......

Who the hell is it......

Shen Zhi closed his eyes, his hands under his sleeves were slightly clenched, and his nails pierced into his soft palms, slowly calming down the turbulent mood with the tingling.

As soon as the time came, Shen Zhi followed the painting and Qinqin to give a word, and quietly left the courtyard.

The night was dark, and the silver moon was mostly obscured by clouds, and the people in the house were all asleep at this time, and only a few places were still lit with lanterns.

Zhuxuan is relatively remote, because there are a lot of bamboos planted outside the yard and is named, when passing through the bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves rustle, as if someone is blowing a whimpering sad song

Son, it looks creepy in the dark night.

Shen Zhi walked out of the bamboo forest, and at a glance saw a person standing not far from the courtyard, and subconsciously held his breath and looked at it intently.
