Chapter 45: Crisis

After eating on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone accompanied Mrs. Jiang to keep vigil in Jiufu Hall, but only during the day did the third lady be imprisoned in the ancestral hall, Jiang Weiren also had two daughters Jiang Zhiyou and Jiang Zhirou, naturally did not have any thoughts about the New Year.

Sanfang then went back to his yard early.

Jiang Zhiyou wanted to cry when she left, Jiang Yu was very worried about her, so she told Mrs. Jiang that she took Yu Lan to visit the third uncle's yard.

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang agreed, Zhao thought that Mrs. Jiang was a little looser about Luo Minjiao in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Under the New Year, not to mention the two children Zhiyou and Zhirou, the third uncle is really pitiful, and he doesn't even have a person to serve intimately——"

Jiang Weide rubbed his hands beside him, and was absentmindedly looking around at the maids who followed the Zhao family in the second room, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and he was about to interject about the concubine status he brought back.

Old Mrs. Jiang glanced at her second son, snorted coldly, and Jiang Weide extinguished his thoughts.

The interaction between mother and son, Chen and Jiang Weishan, who were present, saw it, but Zhao was still unaware of it, and was still testing whether Mrs. Jiang really wanted to release Luo Minjiao.

Mrs. Jiang didn't want to say more, she just felt that the Zhao family really couldn't teach.

Do you need to ask?

She has never seen any storms and waves in her life, although she also feels sorry for her son in her heart, but she knows that as long as she does this, it will only be good for her son's family, and of course she will not let go.

Otherwise, how could he agree to let Jiang Yu only comfort Jiang Zhiyou on such a night?

If Jiang Weiren had decided to carry the concubine, she would have gone to see her two granddaughters in person.

The closer you get to the courtyard of the third room, the darker and quieter it becomes, except for the shadowy woods on the side of the road, where there are occasionally one or two strange bird calls, which are creepy.

Jiang Yu listened attentively, knowing that this was just a night owl calling, Chi Ying was most afraid of this kind of sound, and Yu Lan looked very calm.

She has always talked little, but she pays great attention to pleasing Jiang Yu, only speaks when it is appropriate, and does things very responsibly and worry-free.

Only to be a first-class maid next to a young lady, in fact, it is a condescending talent, if you go to which lady's side, I am afraid that the errand of a serious housekeeper lady can also be done very easily.

Grandmother admired such a maid very much, and praised the person recommended by the second aunt many times for her ability, and she contributed a lot.

Chi Ying and Ying Cui don't think so, although the two of them get along closely with Yu Lan on the surface, they are actually guarding against everything and not letting her handle all the things related to the third room.

Chu Lan also knows this, but she is still willing to play a sisterly scene with Chi Ying and Yingcui.

No one had told her anything about the other person's speculation, but no one knew either······ Jiang Yu's expression was a little complicated, she talked to them casually every day, and glanced at them casually, and she already had insight into those thoughts.

Let Chulan come tonight, because Jiang Yu wants to see how far Julan wants to go, and how much Luo Minjiao wants to go.

Ji Lan stepped forward to knock on the door of the gatehouse, and Jiang Yu stood under the porch not far away waiting for her.

I think I got the news tonight, knowing that the third lady was locked up, the owners of the three houses would not have the heart to celebrate the festival, and the other masters should not come, so the people were lazy early.

The porter's attitude was very bad, and he didn't even open the door, but said angrily: "It's not early, the third master has already fallen asleep, please come back tomorrow if you have something." ”

Chu Lan bit her lip, turned her head to look at Jiang Yu, and silently asked if she wanted to continue knocking on the door.

Jiang Yu lifted the glass claw lamp in her hand slightly, the yellowish halo swayed in the wind, and the gold lacquer words on the beam had an inexplicable sense of coldness.

She looked at the plaque held up high and nodded.

Velvet's memories told her that just tonight, she had to go in and take a look.

Chu Lan turned around and shouted: "It was the old lady who asked the fifth lady to come to visit the third miss, and asked the old man to report it, it is too cold outside, the fifth miss is weak, if it blows the wind and suffers the cold, it is not something you and I can bear." ”

The porter was not overrun by laziness and did not say anything more this time, but hurriedly put on a cloak and got up.

As soon as the door opened, a thin old man appeared, smiling flatteringly at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu didn't pay attention to it, just glanced at Chao Lan, and walked quickly into the courtyard.

After thinking about it, he took out a purse containing some gold bills from his sleeve and threw it to the old man. "Fifth Miss will reward you with wine."

The old man happily took it, bending even lower.

This was the first time Jiang Yu had entered the courtyard of the third room, but with the fluffy memory in her mind, she walked familiarly, and arrived at the ······ Outside Jiang Weiren's bedroom.

It was pitch black inside, but if you listen closely, especially standing in Jiang Yu's position, you can clearly hear that there are several people's voices, fierce and sharp.

"It's been three quarters now, and if you don't do it yet, when will you wait?"

"What's the hurry, the girl arranged by Meng'er put the incense into the room, the quality of the incense is not very good this time, there are more people in the room than usual, I don't know if the amount is enough, besides, it will take time for the fragrance to take effect, it's always right to be careful. Move on when you get to the child. ”

"Hmph, Hou Ye also plans to have a good time with Luo's eldest daughter tonight, if it delays Hou Ye's interest, who will you and I die?"

"Liu Lao Er, are you looking for death?" The man finally became impatient, but his voice was still very low: "It's easy to go to the ancestral hall where no one is guarding to steal someone out, so let the third child take the mother out first, vent the anger to Hou Ye first, and then wait for us to send her eldest daughter, why is it too late?" Don't you know that there are people everywhere here? Almost didn't pay attention to ······"

Jiang Yu didn't know how long the time had passed, but listening to those words, she felt like she was immersed in cold water, and the cold air was all over her body.

She walked a little fast before, and when Chu Lan followed later, she saw the small figure wrapped in a silver and white gold silk jacket, standing outside the door of Jiang Weiren's bedroom, with a stiff posture like a stone statue.

Somehow, her blue eyelids jumped sharply, and she shouted to Jiang Yu in a little panic: "Fifth Miss, what are you doing there?" The third lady's room is not in this direction! Let the slave take you there! ”

The voice was a little trembling, and it was unusually clear and loud in the calm night on the surface, as if it was to report to someone.

Jiang Yu laughed softly.

Not like.

It's that she's really telling people.

Jiang Weiren was not in this bedroom at all at this time, he was in the side courtyard of Jiang Zhiyou and Jiang Zhirou, comforting his two daughters.

In fact, this is not Jiang Weiren's bedroom, but just a study and bedroom arranged by Jiang Weiren in order to please Luo's.

It's a pity that what is the use of it now.

Obvious.

The moment the sound in the room stopped, Jiang Yu quickly threw the lantern, turned around and ran towards Chu Lan, unbuttoning her silver and white jacket as she ran - Chu Lan hesitated for a moment, and the door of the room had been opened.

The people inside saw the white that ran away in the thick dark night, and after reacting, they also chased after her.

Jiang Yu tried her best to throw away the particularly dazzling silver-white coat, and was about to run past Chu Lan's side at a faster pace.

There was a fierce look in her eyes, she glanced at the third lady's side courtyard, silently pulled a hairpin from her head, grabbed Jiang Yu's arm, and rushed over.

!! A gust of wind whistled past Jiang Yu's ears.

But she didn't move with the wind.

What's going on? You shouldn't do that! In Velvet's memory, she was extremely timid, and in the end she just watched Velvet shouting and running towards Jiang Zhiyou and Jiang Zhirou's side courtyard, and did nothing!

Could it be because she ran out of the courtyard instead of the side, so things are different from before?

Zhu Lan choked her throat hard, Jiang Yu felt that her vision was getting blurred and blurred, and the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, as if those people were also catching up.

Could it be ······ Do you want to die in vain?
