Chapter Seventy-Four
"What about Aunt Cuijuan?"
"She ......" Madame Jade stopped talking, her eyes rolling back and forth.
"Whether she's still ours or not, she'll be useless soon." Madam Jade said hatefully.
Qi Zhao saw that Mrs. Yu was far away, so he instructed Cuijuan to close the doors and windows, then got up and lifted the bedding, and helped Zhao Ji out of the dark compartment under the bed.
"Senior, I've wronged you." Qizhao said faintly.
Zhao Ji opened her mouth, and she forgot that she couldn't make a sound, so she had to pat Qi Zhao's hand with her hand to show her understanding.
Cuijuan closed the door and walked in, Qizhao settled Zhao Ji and lay on her bed, better clothes for her, then sat aside and asked Cuijuan coldly, "Did you do it?" ”
Cuijuan looked at Qizhao's eyes for a while, flickering slightly, she lowered her head, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Cuijuan, tell me, what's going on? You...... How did you expect that there was an ambush by the people of the Cold Mountain Gate? Qizhao took Cuijuan's hand and asked her to sit down, and Zhao Ji, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes and quietly listened to the conversation between the master and servant.
When Cuijuan heard this, her brows furrowed, and she asked with a fox face: "People from the Northern Cold Mountain Gate? The people of Zagana? ”
Only then did Qi Zhao realize that Cuijuan, who lived in the mansion, knew so much about the rivers and lakes.
Qi Zhao nodded and continued to ask: "Not to mention those Hanshan Sect people, the woman who rushed to the firewood room earlier than me in my clothes, but you sent it?" ”
Cuijuan nodded, "No." ”
"Then why are you doing this?"
"To save you."
Cuijuan...... Are you loyal to me? Qizhao asked tentatively. Outside the window, the sky is getting brighter, the deep blue is gradually receding, and the soft light enters the room, as if a new day has just begun, and everything last night can be blamed for the past. Those hidden, obscure evil intentions can disappear without a trace when the sun blooms.
Qizhao looked at Cuijuan with a faint look in his eyes.
Cuijuan fell to the ground with a thud, then stiffened her back, maintained a bowing posture, and said to Qizhao: "Miss, Cuijuan will always be the slave of you and your benefactor, Cuijuan will tell you everything." ”
Qi Zhao raised his eyes gently, and helped Cuijuan, who was kneeling on the ground, up: "Sit down and say." ”
"No—"
"The maid who pretended to be a young lady last night was indeed sent by Cuijuan. Because Cuijuan told her that the young lady was going to rescue Zhao Ji. ”
Qi Zhao's eyes trembled slightly and asked, "Why?" ”
"Mrs. Jade threatened with Engong's life, and the slave had to say. However, the slave and maid can't hurt you like this, so she made this decision. I hope to use the maid's life in exchange for the safety of Miss and Zhao Ji. ”
Abandon the car to protect the handsome, clever plan. Zhao Ji thought in her heart, and couldn't help but look at this little maid with admiration.
"But what about the people from Hanshanmen?"
"The slave maid doesn't know, I only know that the people of Hanshanmen have always been by Mrs. Yu's side, and I heard the conversation between Mrs. Yu and the slave maid, so I went halfway to rob you." Cuijuan speculated.
Qi Zhao couldn't help but be a little moved in her heart, she frowned, and said to Cuijuan: "Do you know, you did this, but you gave back a life." Although I was not caught because of this, and I successfully rescued my seniors, but if they found out that the beauty was not me, did you think about the fate of that woman? How could they spare her life? ”
Cuijuan knew her mistake. Cuijuan originally wanted to go instead of you, but the slave was afraid that if she left like this, Miss, you would be in danger in this jackal, tiger and leopard Situ Mansion. That's why ......," Cuijuan replied with a frown and red eyes.
"Then how did Madame Jade blackmail you? Do you know that Sumimoto did not fall into the Northern Hanshan faction? ”
Cuijuan suddenly raised her head, and big tears flowed down. "What...... What the? ”
Qi Zhao sighed and said to Cuijuan: "Actually, I am also to blame for this, I secretly sent a message to Jin Yang, in order to reduce the danger of that letter, I didn't even tell you, so there was such a misunderstanding." ”
"Miss, slave...... The slave knew she was wrong. Cuijuan cried out.
Qizhao patted her on the shoulder, handed a handkerchief to Cuijuan, and turned to make tea.
A thought suddenly flashed through Zhao Ji's mind, and she stared at her eyes and pondered for a moment.
Wrong! Wrong! This girl is lying! If Madame Jade threatened, how did she learn that I had sent a message to the Seven Zhao Birds? No, no, there's something wrong with this girl!
Zhao Ji thought about it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her body, and she staggered to support her body.
But just saw Cuijuan holding a snowy dagger towards Qizhao, Zhao Ji was shocked, so she immediately deducted a jade stone decorated on the side of the bed, and hit Cuijuan who was holding the dagger.
Cuijuan saw Zhao Ji hitting her fiercely from her fingertips, she couldn't help frowning, withdrew her arm and dodged sideways.
Qizhao turned around and handed the tea to Cuijuan, who suddenly stood up, but her face was still full of tears, and said, "It's okay, now everything is clear." In the future, you won't want to! ”
Cuijuan wiped her tears and nodded awkwardly.
Zhao Ji saw that Qi Zhao did not see through Cuijuan's trick, so he knocked the bed board, and Qi Zhao hurriedly stepped forward.
"Senior, do you have any orders...... "Nanachiaki asked.
Who knows, before Qizhao finished speaking, Zhao Ji pulled her to the bed. The other hand was holding Cuijuan's dagger-wielding wrist. And the dagger that was held upside down made a cut on Zhao Ji and Cuijuan's wrists together.
She let out a low moan from her nose, staring at Cuijuan's strangely holding dagger.
Qi Zhao turned around and was surprised.
"Cuijuan, what are you doing here? Senior, you ...... You let go. You guys, what are you doing here? ”
Zhao Ji heard Qi Zhao say this, and let go of the hand that grabbed Cuijuan.
As soon as Zhao Ji let go, Cuijuan thrust the dagger straight into her chest.
"Miss, farewell."
Qi Zhao looked at Cuijuan with resentment in his eyes, like a little beast that had fallen into a trap and was dying.
The first rays of sunlight crossed the red wall of the high Situ Mansion and shone in through the window, just falling on the tears in the corners of Cuijuan's eyes, which were crystal clear and brilliant, like peerless and transparent jade inlaid in the corners of her eyes.
Bang Bang –
The dagger fell to the ground.
Cuijuan staggered, looked at the dagger that had been knocked down in her hand, and couldn't help but fall to her knees, covering her face and crying.
Qi Zhao glanced at Cuijuan, and then at Zhao Ji, and she asked with concern, "Senior, are you okay?" ”
Zhao Ji gently picked the corners of her mouth and shook her head.
Qi Zhao jumped out of bed, found some gauze and herbs to stop bleeding from the cabinet, bandaged Zhao Ji first, and then squatted on the ground, took Cuijuan's hand and gently bandaged her.
Cuijuan looked at Qizhao with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but hug her all of a sudden.
