Ji Yunlan listened and slapped the table hard, "Ji Yunyun is right, this Xia Lian really has a problem!" ”

"Take me to see." After she finished speaking, she stood up, let Ah Fu lead the way, and hurriedly walked outside.

Her maid Hongyu was about to follow behind, when she saw that because she had slapped the table too hard just now, a note fell out of her girl's sleeve, she hurriedly picked it up and put it on the table, and then went out to chase her girl.

On a somewhat secluded path in the garden, Xia Lian was weeping in front of Zhou Heng.

"Young master, take me back to Zhou's mansion, I can't stay here for a day."

Zhou Heng looked at Xia Lian's palm-sized face, as if the pear blossom was tearful, and the delicate gust of wind in his body could blow it away, and he couldn't bear to ask in his eyes: "What?" Cousin treats you badly? ”

"Not a big girl." Xia Lian sobbed and shook her head, "Since Lian'er came to this mansion, she hasn't seen the eldest girl, so she was sent to the laundry room. ”

Zhou Heng was a little surprised, "What?" Didn't you come to serve your cousin? Why do you go to the laundry? ”

"I don't know where I offended the second girl, she not only sent me to this laundry room, but also didn't even let me see the eldest girl." Xia Lian said and looked up at Zhou Heng, she was trembling all over, there were crystal tears on her eyelashes, and a pair of tearful eyes looked at him pleadingly.

“…… If you endure a few more days, I'll talk to my cousin. Zhou Heng's eyes showed unbearability, and he said softly.

"Thank you, young master." Xia Lian cried with joy, and blessedly bowed to Zhou Heng, her slender body shook, and she was about to fall, Zhou Heng reached out to help, and Xia Lian's body happened to fall into his arms.

"Young Master......" Xia Lian's face suddenly turned red to the tip of her ears, she moved her lips, and a pair of tearful eyes looked into Zhou Heng's eyes with shyness and panic.

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly let go of her, he turned his head to look at no one around, and said calmly: "I've been out for a while, my cousin must be in a hurry, I'll go first." After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left.

Watching his back walk away, Xia Lian, who was still teary-eyed, suddenly bit her lip and smiled gently, wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, combed her hair that was a little messy, and turned around and went back to the laundry room slowly.

Ji Yunlan, who was hiding behind a tree not far away, was furious, if it weren't for Hongyu pulling, she would have rushed out a long time ago.

"Girl, calm and calm, they just said a few words together, and didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Young Master Zhou is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the eldest girl's sweetheart, you rush out like this, it's hard to explain to the eldest lady if you make a big fuss."

"This Xia Lian, in vain I still think she is kind and pitiful, she is really crying and shouting to come to the mansion to be a maid for the eldest sister in order to repay the kindness of the eldest sister, but I didn't expect that she turned out to be a restless young master who wanted to hook up with the Zhou Mansion!" Ji Yunlan rolled up her sleeves and gritted her teeth, although she didn't like Ji Yunshu very much, but the two of them had also experienced the mountain bandit incident together, Ji Yunshu was the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, where could she be calculated by a little maid?!

"Girl, she's still staying in the house, you can clean her up at any time, let's go back first, this is also something related to the eldest girl, always think about how to tell her." Hongyu stopped her girl, and Ah Fu coaxed Ji Yunlan to go back to Bitong Courtyard.

Ji Yunlan thought about it and felt that what Hongyu said made sense, went back to Bitong Courtyard and poured a cup of tea to extinguish the fire, saw a note on the table, picked it up and opened it while looking at it and asked, "Where did this note come from?" What do you put on the table? ”

"Isn't this a girl's? Falling out of the girl's sleeve. After Hongyu finished speaking, she saw her girl's eyes widening wider and wider, staring at the note in shock, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

After Ji Yunlan read the note, she stood up abruptly and rushed to the door without saying a word.

"Girl!" Hongyu hurriedly called, and seeing that Ji Yunlan was deaf, she stomped her feet and hurriedly chased her out again.

In Cuihua Courtyard, Zhou Heng and Zhou Fu said goodbye and left, and Ji Yunshu sent them to the gate of the Guogong Mansion.

"Sister, you go to the carriage first, and I'll say a few words to my cousin." Zhou Heng said to Zhou Fu.

"I'm not in a hurry, you talk slowly." Zhou Fu covered her mouth and smiled, looked at the two of them teasingly, and got into the carriage with the maid first.

The little maids at the door were also very conscious, and took the initiative to stay away from the two of them, so as not to disturb the two of them talking.

"Cousin, what else are you going to tell me?" Ji Yunshu's face was a little red, and he looked at Zhou Heng with a smile and asked.

Zhou Heng hesitated and asked, "Do you remember the maid named Xia Lian?" Before, she went from Zhou's Mansion to your Mansion. ”

"I remember, her second sister arranged for her to come, and my cousin suddenly asked her what she was doing?" Ji Yunshu asked suspiciously.

"I saw her today, she was sent to the laundry room by the second girl, and it seems that life is not easy." After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he paused and said, "Cousin, because of Xia Lian's maid, you can be rescued in time." She doesn't want to repay the money, but only wants to serve by your side. Such a good maid, you will receive it. ”

Ji Yunshu was quiet after listening, and then bent his lips and smiled: "Cousin doesn't say that I don't know yet, my cousin is right, Xia Lian is a good maid, I will let her come to my house." ”

Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Ji Yunshu's bright eyes and feeling a little weak for no reason, he hurriedly looked away and said, "I'll go first, cousin go back." ”

Ji Yunshu watched Zhou Heng and Zhou Fu leave, and then turned around and went back to the courtyard, she instructed Ying'er beside her as she walked: "Go to the laundry room and say, let Xia Lian and that maid come to Cuihua Courtyard to serve in the future." ”

Ji Yunyun came out of Cuihua Courtyard and just walked onto the stone bridge on the lake in the garden, when a little maid hurriedly chased after her, "Second girl, second girl." ”

"Why are you so flustered?" Ji Yunyun stopped and asked.

"Someone came to report that the third young master and the young master of the Sun family had a fight in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain outside the city, and the third young master was injured, so let you hurry over." The little maid said hurriedly.

"Yun Ting is injured?" Ji Yunyun panicked when she heard this, "Go and ask the doctor, I'll ask the eldest aunt to send someone to pick him up." ”

The little maid hurriedly said: "Second girl, the person who delivered the letter said that the third young master was only slightly injured, and he was afraid that he would be punished if the old lady and the eldest master knew, so he only let you pick him up alone." ”

"I know I'll be punished and fight!" Ji Yunyun stomped his feet and instructed the little maid, "What about the person who delivered the letter?" Take me to him. ”

"The third young master told him not to go through the gate, and now he is waiting at the door in the back corner." The little maid led the way in front, and Ji Yunyun hurriedly followed behind.

When she arrived at the back corner door, sure enough, there was a strange woman in coarse cloth clothes waiting there, she saw Ji Yunyun, stepped forward and saluted: "But the second girl? The Third Young Master asked me to come. He was injured in a fight with the young master of the Sun family and had difficulty moving, and I happened to come to the door to collect medicine, so the third young master asked me to talk to the second girl. ”

"He's alone, and he doesn't even have a little guy with him?" Thinking of Ji Yunting's temperament, Sun Cheng blew up as soon as he teased, and the two of them went to the bamboo forest alone to make an appointment, Ji Yunyun hurriedly said: "Please lead the way." ”

Chun Tao called a carriage and quietly set off from Jiaomen, all the way out of the city to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the woman who led the way got off the carriage first, and Chun Tao helped her girl to get out of the carriage as well, and told the coachman to wait in the same place, and the two followed the woman into the bamboo forest.

"Second girl, it's not far ahead." The woman led the way and said.

Ji Yunyun and Chun Tao followed, and the bamboo branches in this bamboo forest were green and dense, quiet and silent, only the breeze occasionally blew through the bamboo leaves. Ji Yunyun felt a little strange in his heart, how to fight here, wouldn't it be better to play in an open place.

"The third young master was obviously here before, how did he disappear." The woman leading the way suddenly stopped in front of her and exclaimed in surprise.

Ji Yunyun hurriedly stepped forward to look, the bamboo branches in front of him were crooked, some were broken, and the grass on the ground also had traces of being trampled on, and it seemed that someone had fought here.

"Girl!" Chun Tao suddenly screamed, she also found traces of being trampled on the grass on the ground on the right, and there were a few traces of blood on the bamboo branch that went all the way to the right, and it hadn't dried yet.

Ji Yunyun's heart jumped suddenly, and he was about to go to the right, when suddenly a short exclamation came from the left, and the voice was a young man.

"Isn't it the Third Young Master? Girl, where are we going first? Chun Tao's eyes widened, looking at the left and right sides of the move.

"You go to the left, I'll go to the right, and I'll come back here when I find the third young master." The woman who led the way quickly spoke, and went to the right, and the figure quickly disappeared.

"Let's go." Thinking about his younger brother, for fear that something would happen to him, Ji Yunyun lifted the hem of his skirt and walked in the direction of the voice on the left.

The two looked for it while walking, Chun Tao shouted a few times, but there was no shadow of Ji Yunting, Chun Tao took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead for her girl, and said, "Girl, the third young master doesn't seem to be here?" Shall we continue looking? ”

Something is wrong, something is very wrong. The more Ji Yunyun walked, the more she felt that something was wrong, she pursed her lips, quickly went through the whole thing in her heart, her vigilance rose, she grabbed Chun Tao's wrist, and immediately said: "Go back, we will return the same way immediately." ”

"I hope that the girl who led the way has found the third young master, and I wish the third young master is okay." Chun Tao didn't notice anything, and followed her girl back, thinking of the blood stains she saw on the bamboo branches, worried and anxious.

Ji Yunyun grabbed the spring peach and strode back, she hurriedly went out of the bamboo forest and got into the carriage to hurry back to the house, but it was too late, and there was a sudden wind behind her before she took two steps, "Girl!" Chun Tao exclaimed, and before she could say another word, her body fell to the ground limply. Ji Yunyun hurriedly turned around to see the figure behind him, but the back of his head hurt and he lost consciousness.
