Chapter Forty-Eight: The Paper Crane Sends a Message

After saying goodbye, Su Wanqiu had just walked out of Rongsong Courtyard when she was stopped by the eldest lady.

"What's the matter with Mother?" Su Wanqiu said with a smile.

There was some inquisitive meaning in the eldest lady's eyes: "Late autumn, you went to Jining Temple that day, and Liu'er also went, do you know where she went?" ”

Su Wanqiu shook her head very regretfully: "My daughter only saw Liu'er that day, but she didn't pay attention to where Liu'er went, my mother should send more people to look for it, but Jining Temple has a murder now, and the murderer has not been found so far, maybe Liu'er has also ......."

Speaking of this, Su Wanqiu also had some doubts in her heart, although Liu Er was the personal girl next to the eldest lady, she was just a weak woman, where could she go? Could it be that he was really involved in the case of Master Yuanji?

The eldest lady's face was slightly cold, in her heart, she naturally thought that Liu Er's disappearance was inseparable from Su Wanqiu, but Su Wanqiu was unwilling to say where Liu Er was.

"That's it, I'm sending more people to look for it." The eldest lady said, and then brushed her sleeves away.

"Mother walks slowly." Su Wanqiu smiled.

After speaking, Su Wanqiu turned around and walked in the direction of Moxiangyuan, but after walking a few steps, she saw a paper crane fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Chu Yu stepped forward to pick up the paper crane, and said a little strangely: "Whose paper crane is this?" ”

"Miss Five walked over from the front just now, probably left by Miss Five." Fu Chun glanced forward and said.

Su Wanqiu was a little surprised, reached out and took the paper crane from Chu Yu's hand, and carefully dismantled the paper crane and laid it flat, but there was not a word on the paper crane.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that paper cranes have passed on letters, if Su Yunwan hadn't inadvertently left paper cranes, she must have something to say to herself, but there was not a word on the paper cranes, probably something important to say to herself.

Thinking of Aunt Xie's pregnancy, Su Wanqiu thought for a while, and then said: "I haven't been to see the fifth sister for a long time, and it just so happens that I am free today, so I will go and see the fifth sister." ”

……

Su Yunwan lives in Qianmei Courtyard, which is a very remote place in the Hou Mansion, but there is a Xiaoxiao bamboo forest at the door, which is very quiet and peaceful.

When Su Wanqiu first walked to the gate of Qianmei Courtyard, she saw a girl come out and pour a bowl of things into the bamboo forest at the door, looking a little flustered.

Su Wanqiu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What is this?" ”

When the girl suddenly saw Su Wanqiu, she seemed to be frightened and speechless.

"Thrush, is there anything you can't say?" Fu Chunqiao stepped forward with a smile and asked.

The thrush blessed her body, lowered her eyebrows and said: "The slave maid has seen the third lady, this is just the soup left over by the fifth lady, and the slave maid poured it out." ”

"There is no reason to dump leftovers at the door." Fu Chun said with a little dissatisfaction, "Why did you lie to the third lady?" Isn't there anything that Miss Fifth can't let Miss Three know? ”

Fu Chunling's teeth were sharp, and the thrush was immediately speechless, and after a while, he said, "Is the third miss here to visit the fifth miss?" The slave and maid will go in and report it. ”

With that, he quickly walked in with his skirt in his hand.

Fu Chun couldn't help but say: "This is strange, this is the fifth lady left the paper crane for the young lady to come, since she knows that the young lady is coming, what is the thrush hiding like this?" ”

Su Wanqiu didn't speak, but her eyes were dyed with a thin layer of cold color, whether it was in her previous life or in this life, she had always thought that Su Yunwan was a very simple and naΓ―ve person, but the thrush's behavior just now couldn't help but make Su Wanqiu a little more suspicious in her heart.

As Fu Chun said just now, since he knew that Su Wanqiu was coming, why did he have to act so secretively?

Soon, the thrush came over and asked Su Wanqiu to come in.

The thrush led Su Wanqiu to the main house of the Qianmei Courtyard, and as soon as she stepped in, Su Yunwan stepped forward and held Su Wanqiu's hand, smiling softly and gently: "Third sister." ”

Su Wanqiu raised her eyes and glanced at Su Yunwan's residence, different from the brocade clothes and jade food in Moxiang Courtyard, the furnishings in Su Yunwan's house were very shabby, there was only a picture of Jinchun Begonia painted by herself on the wall, and the furnishings on the table were just ordinary celadon and white porcelain, which might be extremely luxurious in ordinary people's homes, but in the eyes of the Hou Mansion, it was too shabby.

"This is ......" Su Wanqiu's eyes fell on the lacquer carved mica screen on the side, which depicted a clear and far-reaching landscape painting, with delicate and gentle brushstrokes, which should be the most extravagant one in the furnishings in this house.

But there is an obvious missing corner on the screen, which destroys the overall beauty, Su Wanqiu remembered that this screen was originally in the eldest lady's room, but because it was unintentionally damaged, it was idle in the warehouse, but such a damaged screen was actually in Su Yunwan's room.

"When did the people in the mansion be so careless that they even dared to put this kind of damaged thing into the young lady's house?" Su Wanqiu said, tilting her head and glancing at the thrush.

The thrush immediately lowered her head, but Su Yunwan shook her head and said, "No matter about the thrush, is it...... I accidentally broke the screen. ”

Hearing this, Su Wanqiu didn't say much, turned her head to look at Su Yunwan, put the paper crane in her hand on the table, and said with a smile: "I see, I saw the fifth sister's things fall to the ground before, so I specially came over to give it to the fifth sister." ”

Su Yunwan looked sideways at Chu Yu and Fu Chun, a little wanted to say something, Su Wanqiu saw this, and nodded at Fu Chun.

Fu Chun was so smart, he immediately said: "Miss, the slave maid went out with Chu Yu first." ”

After saying that, he bowed, and went out with the first rain.

The thrush was also blessed and quietly retreated.

Only Su Wanqiu and Su Yunwan were left in the house.

Su Yunwan looked at her, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "Third sister." ”

"What's the matter with the fifth sister, but it's okay to say it." Su Wanqiu said softly.

Su Yunwan lowered her head slightly, she had always been very afraid of the eldest lady, but Su Wanqiu was able to make the eldest lady suffer several times, in her heart, she naturally admired Su Wanqiu very much, and only Su Wanqiu could help her.

"Ask the third sister to save my mother." Su Yunwan said, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and the pear blossoms fell rain, which was pitiful.

Su Wanqiu knew about this matter, but Su Yunwan obviously knew more, so she asked, "Isn't Aunt Xie pregnant now?" Who else dares to make a move on Aunt Xie? ”

"My mother is pregnant because she took the medicine given to her by the eldest lady." Su Yunwan choked up a little and said, "It was the eldest lady who deliberately made my mother pregnant, and now my father asked the eldest lady to take care of my mother, and the eldest lady will definitely be able to control my mother to the death." ”

It is said that it is very unfavorable for the eldest lady that other aunts in the house are pregnant, but the eldest lady actually made every effort to promote this matter, the so-called abnormal things must have demons, and the eldest lady will never do anything unfavorable to herself.
