Chapter 177: Assassination in the Palace
Mama Huang came in with Mama Jiang.
"The old slave has seen the big girl!" Mama Huang blessed Chu Peijin.
Chu Peijin stopped her pen and turned her head to look at her, then glanced at Mama Jiang again, and asked, "Is there anything urgent?" If not, just wait! After saying that, she still lowered her head and continued to write her post.
Mama Huang choked, and it was hard to say that things were urgent.
Madame asked her to come over and invite the eldest girl over, is this matter urgent or not?
Seeing this, Mama Jiang smiled and said, "Girl, Mama Huang is naturally here because the eldest lady has something to look for you, ...... you see?"
Chu Peijin said without looking back: "What emergency can there be on Mother's side?" Don't you see I'm busy? Wait! ”
For the first time, Mama Jiang touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard at Chu Peijin's place, her face turned slightly pale, and she immediately grinned dryly and said, "Yes!" Be! It's all the old slaves who don't have eyes and disturb the girl! As he spoke, he smacked himself twice in the mouth.
Chu Peijin also ignored her.
Mama Jiang's slap raised again suddenly couldn't go down.
Mama Huang secretly sneered and scolded her for not having eyes, but she glanced at her with a hint of sympathy on her face, which was considered to be appeased.
Chu Peijin pondered for a long time before writing the post, and she read it several times from beginning to end, and when she felt satisfied, she handed it to Cuizhu.
"Big girl...... Madame, she's still waiting for you! "Mama Huang finally has a chance to speak.
Chu Peijin went to clean her hands unhurriedly, then sat down and took a sip of the teacup.
"Isn't my mother busy with the second and third sister's birthdays recently? Is there anything I have to do? ”
"This ...... Old Slave ...... The old slave doesn't know ......," Mama Huang said.
Chu Peijin raised her eyebrows slightly, "I don't know what you came to say?" Could it be that you were too idle and were disgusted by your mother, so you sent me here? ”
Mama Huang's heart was strained, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Mrs. Hu Ma is the most important, and if there are any important things, they are assigned to Hu Mama to do, and these little things such errands are handed over to the magpies on weekdays, and I don't know if the big girl really said that she had nothing to do today, so she was allowed to come?
"This ...... This one...... The old slave didn't dare to figure out his master's thoughts......"
Chu Peijin snorted lightly and said, "If there is nothing important, you can go back and tell my mother that I am busy practicing painting!" ”
Last time, Xia said that she would punish her for embroidering, but she changed it to painting, so it is very appropriate to use this excuse!
Mama Huang was a little anxious: "But, Madame said, you must go over ......"
Chu Peijin frowned, waved her hand impatiently, and said, "Okay, you go back and tell your mother, just say that I will be there in a while." ”
Hearing her say this, Mama Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly blessed her body and retreated.
Chu Peijin was wondering what Xia's intention was in calling her over this time, but she just thought about it, but she couldn't think of a reason. She really hasn't done anything for the past two days!
Because it was in the mansion, Chu Peijin only took Cuizhi to the Xia family. When they passed a rockery in the garden, they didn't expect that a masked man with a long knife in his hand suddenly rushed out of it and came towards them.
Chu Peijin hurriedly grabbed Cuizhi and avoided it to the side, the man didn't seem to expect them to be able to avoid it, so the knife in his hand was empty!
Cuizhi didn't react until this time, and she suddenly screamed loudly: "Ahhh
The man's breath was suffocated, a trace of coldness shot out of his eyes, and without hesitation, he raised his hand again and waved it towards the two of them—
Hearing only the sound of a 'bang', the broadsword was blocked by the sudden appearance of the night wind at a distance of a few inches from them.
Cuizhi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the whole person fell to the ground softly!
Chu Peijin hurriedly pulled her to the side and stood in a hidden position.
Because of Cuizhi's shout, it alarmed the people in the house, and it was only a moment of effort to rush from all directions.
"Hurry—hurry—over there!"
"It's the big girl—call someone quickly—there's a thief—"
Seeing that there were more and more people, the masked man couldn't care about being entangled with the night wind, so he hurriedly ran away! The night wind was in hot pursuit, so by the time the guards arrived in the house, the two of them had already disappeared!
Nian Xue and Nian Bing hurried over with people, and when they saw that Chu Peijin was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief!
"Girl, how are you?"
Chu Peijin actually didn't have anything to do, except that he was startled when the person appeared at the beginning, and he was still very calm until now!
"I'm fine, let someone get Cuizhi back, she was afraid she was frightened just now!"
Nian Xue hurriedly asked Yuxi and Nian Qiu to carry Cuizhi back to Qinglan Courtyard, and then asked, "Girl, are you going to the eldest lady or going back now?" ”
At this moment, a few more mothers-in-law came over and asked, "Big girl, how are you?" You okay? ”
Mama Huang, who rushed to hear the news, had a very bad face! I came to invite Miss Chu by myself, but I didn't ask to go, Miss Chu had an accident in the garden, and she heard the shouts here before she walked into the courtyard of Mrs. Chu, she didn't bother to tell Mrs. and rushed over, but this thing in front of her made her really big!
"Big girl, they're all old slaves, aren't they! If the old slave insisted on waiting there to accompany the eldest girl, such a thing would not have happened! Please also punish the big girl! Mama Huang said that she knelt down in front of Chu Peijin.
Chu Peijin was still worried about whether the night wind could take down the masked man, and she didn't have the heart to deal with Mama Huang, so she waved her hand impatiently and said, "Get up, I can't blame you for this." You go back and tell your mother, I'll go see her again tomorrow, it's so unsafe in the house! ”
After saying this, she took Nian Xue and returned the same way.
The rest of the guards searched the garden again, but in the end they found nothing, and returned to pay their errands.
Such a big thing happened in Wu'an Houfu, which naturally alarmed the old lady, and even the Liu family and the Yang family also got the news, and for a while, Chu Peijin's Qinglan Courtyard was lively again.
Come to visit her, comfort her, ask her again and again!
In the end, Chu Peijin simply went to bed and covered the quilt, and when he was frightened, he didn't see anyone, and then he slowly stopped.
The old lady called the Xia family and the housekeeper to reprimand her. Wu Anhou is not in the mansion, and the management of the mansion has been too loose recently, otherwise how could there be thieves in the garden? The thought of the assassin who had escaped from the palace made the old lady's heart even more nervous.
"The number of patrols in the palace will be doubled, and the assassins in the palace have not been caught so far, so maybe it is the assassin who broke into the palace today! You must wake up your spirit and don't have any more accidents! ”
Xia Shi hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "What my mother taught me is that my daughter-in-law will go down to make arrangements." ”
That girl is really blessed with a great fate, the assassin entered the house to assassinate her, and she was safe and sound, this is really ......
Xia's heart faintly felt a little regretful!
