Mama Chen immediately shook her head and said in fear: "How is it possible, the slave maid was on duty last night and never left, and the eldest lady will not get up so early!" ”

Lu Shi frowned, and said to Yingqiu beside him: "You go and knock on the door again, see if you sleep too deeply, the hour is not early, don't miss the old lady's head incense!" ”

Yingqiu took the order and went straight to Bai Mujian's room, stepped forward and deliberately shouted tentatively, "Miss, Miss, it's time to get up, Madam and Old Madam are still waiting for you!" ”

After calling for a long time, there was no movement inside, Lu also followed, knocked on the door, and found that there was no response, so he pushed open the door and looked, the bedding inside was neat, as if it had not moved all night, and the pride in Lu's eyes became more obvious, thinking that the girl must have not come out in the bamboo forest, right? Fortunately, I have already sent someone to guard the way back, and I will see her appear in disheveled clothes later, how will I explain it to others!

"Go and report to the old lady, say that the eldest lady is missing, send someone to look around, if the eldest lady has a good one, you slaves will have to die with you, don't go quickly!" Lu sternly warned the rough mother-in-law and the girl brought by Bai Hibiscus, and they all trembled, for fear of being affected by Bai Hibiscus.

ran to the front with a rolling belt, and Mama Chen also followed, shouting as she ran: "Oh no, the eldest lady is gone!" ”

The monks in the temple all looked sideways and frowned, not knowing what happened to this family, why the subordinates were so unruly, and they were so noisy in the quiet Buddhist temple.

Old Madam Bai also heard the movement, and when Mama Sun got the instructions, she stepped forward and gave Mama Chen a big-eared melon seed, and scolded sharply: "You shameless old shrew, what are you arguing about? ”

Mama Chen was stunned, immediately shut up, covered her face, looked at Mama Sun at a loss, and only remembered her task for a while, so she said: "The slave maid is going back and forth to the old lady, the eldest lady is gone, the lady sent the slave maid to report to the old lady, and quickly send someone to find it!" ”

Grandma Sun frowned, turned around and glanced at the old lady, and didn't know what was going on, so the old lady Bai came over and asked, "What does it mean that the eldest lady is missing?" You were on duty last night, how can you not know where she went? ”

Mama Chen said aggrievedly: "The slave maid has never been lazy and has been guarding it, but it is inevitable that when she goes to the toilet, maybe the eldest lady will go out by herself while the slave and maid are walking away!" ”

Old Madam Bai pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you found it?" ”

"I searched all over the yard, and there was no trace of the eldest lady, even the mandarin ducks, magpies and Mama Rui around her were gone, and when the lady went to see it, the eldest lady's bedding was neat, as if it hadn't been touched overnight!" Mama Chen looked frightened, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Old Madam Bai.

Old Madam Bai felt that the situation was a bit serious, if Bai Mujin really didn't return overnight, then this innocence would definitely be gone, but in a place like Xiangguo Temple, how could such a thing happen? There must be something wrong with this!

"Grandma Sun, come with me to Jin'er's yard to have a look!" Old Madam Bai felt that she had gone to see it herself, maybe Bai Hibiscus had just gotten up early and gone out for a while, and she might have come back at this time!

Seeing this, Mama Chen also followed, and before the old lady entered the courtyard where Bai Mujian lived temporarily, she saw Lu's face with a crying expression, and rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "Old lady, you can come, Jin'er, this girl doesn't know what's wrong, the person is gone, the bed is cold, as if no one has moved, and it is the same as when she came yesterday, the concubine is worried that something has happened to Jin'er!" ”

Old Madam Bai glared at her fiercely, and said angrily: "What kind of bastard are you talking about, if you don't send someone to look for Jin'er at this time, you know that you are arguing here, do you want to make everyone know and make Jin'er ruined?" ”

Lu didn't expect that the old lady Bai could be so calm at this time, not worrying about Bai Hibiscus, but to blame herself, she explained unwillingly: "The concubine is also worried that she will lose her square inch if she is too much, and please don't blame the old lady, I have sent someone to look for it, I heard that the bamboo forest behind Xiangguo Temple is haunted, and I don't know if Jin'er has strayed into the bamboo forest, so she didn't return overnight!" ”

When Mrs. Bai heard it, she was also shocked, she had also heard the rumors of the mountain bamboo forest behind Xiangguo Temple, it was very evil, although she had not personally verified it, but she had heard a lot of stories, and it was inevitable that she would believe a little, if Bai Hibiscus really accidentally strayed into the bamboo forest, it would not be good, if she was attacked again, her life would be over!

Old Madam Bai glared at Lu Ningxiang angrily, and when she saw that she was only pretending to be pitiful on the side, she felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she said: "Lu, if something happens to Jin'er today, you stepmother will not be able to escape the blame!" ”

Lu Shi was slightly stunned, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly cried: "Old lady, the world can be learned, the concubine has always regarded Jin'er as her own, but after what happened last time, you explained that the concubine should not interfere in the affairs of Jin'er's yard at will, so the concubine relaxed her teaching to Jin'er, but it can't be all blamed on the concubine!" ”

Old Madam Bai sneered and said, "You mean I'm responsible?" Did I prevent you from taking care of Jin'er, so did she have an accident? ”

"The concubine doesn't dare, for today's plan is not the time to discuss whose responsibility it is, let's send someone to look for it in the back, maybe Jin'er has come out safely!" The Lu family didn't want to argue with Old Madam Bai anymore, she just wanted to see Bai Hibiscus's miserable end soon.

Old Madam Bai also felt justified when she heard it, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if something happened to Bai Hibiscus, her hard work these days would be in vain, it was a good seedling, and it would definitely bring great help to the Bai family over time!

But since she is so stupid that she is in other people's ways, it is really in vain for her hard work, that's all, it can only be like this, she glanced at Bai Yunxi, who had been silent beside the Lu family and seemed to be particularly well-behaved, and frowned slightly, because of the relationship between the Lu family, she also had a dislike for this granddaughter, if Bai Mu Hibiscus couldn't do it, she would have to turn her energy to this second granddaughter again.

Lu also keenly discovered the vision of the old lady Bai, and was overjoyed, it seemed that as long as the white hibiscus was destroyed, Bai Yunxi would get the attention of the old lady again, and all the benefits that belonged to the white hibiscus would fall on her daughter in the future. Now she can't help but admire her wisdom, and it is indeed a very worthwhile deal to get rid of Bai Hibiscus at such a cost!

Mrs. Bai led everyone to the back mountain, Bai Yunxi was overjoyed, yesterday she personally led Bai Hibiscus over, and she also saw with her own eyes that she fell into a maze and could not come out, at that time she was so happy that she couldn't wait to celebrate, looking at their helpless and panicked appearance, she was almost happy, and looked at how Bai Hibiscus would fight with herself in the future!

A group of people gathered in the backyard of Xiangguo Temple, Mrs. Bai had already sent someone to invite the elders of Xiangguo Temple, hoping to get their help, although they also brought a group of family members when they came, but in the end they were not as familiar with the terrain as the monks of Xiangguo Temple.

The elder of the temple is a highly respected monk, in addition to the Ming Yuan Zen Master who is the presiding officer of Xiangguo Temple, he is the most prestigious elder of Xiangguo Temple, and he is in charge of the affairs of the general temple, compared to the abbot who is not easy to see outsiders, he seems to be much more approachable.

As soon as the precept came, he first gave a monk salute to the old lady Bai and said, "Amitabha, I heard that a little benefactor is missing, I wonder if the old lady is sure that she has walked into the bamboo forest?" ”

Old Madam Bai shook her head and replied politely: "There is Master Lao, but I am not sure where she went, but the subordinates got up this morning and disappeared from my granddaughter, so I guess that she may have strayed into this bamboo forest and can't get out!" ”

Jiekong frowned when he heard this, and recited a Buddha name, before sighing: "When the old lady came earlier, the poor monk sent someone to pass the word, and must not enter the bamboo forest at will, especially at night, there are masters in the bamboo forest who lay down a maze, and they can't get out easily, it's just that if they just stay in the bamboo forest for one night and suffer some hardships, but there should be no worries about their lives, and the poor monk will send someone in to respond!" ”

Old Madam Bai nodded and said, "There is Master Lao, the old man is here to thank you!" ”

When she turned around, she glared at Lu fiercely, obviously she had told Lu yesterday that she wanted to inform everyone of this rule, if Jin'er knew the danger, it would never be possible to risk her life again, it must be Lu's knowledge and did not report it, so that Jin'er fell into the trap, what a ruthless woman!

Lu pretended not to see Mrs. Bai's eyes, and still made a worried expression on the side, looking at the direction of the bamboo forest, she was looking forward to Bai Hibiscus's "safe" return! I hope that those people didn't kill people, and they must keep Bai Hibiscus's life, because she doesn't want that cheap girl to die like this, she has to be ruined, and she will never be able to recover to dissolve the hatred in her heart!

Bai Yunxi nervously held Lu's hand, the excitement in his eyes could hardly be concealed, Lu glared at her, and warned her with his eyes not to reveal her true thoughts.

Bai Yunxi lowered his head silently, raised his head for a while, and asked innocently: "Mother, what do you say if my sister meets any bad people in the bamboo forest?" I didn't return overnight, but I was afraid of ......"

Lu Shi hurriedly covered her mouth and pretended to scold: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister Jiren Tianxiang will definitely come back safe and sound! ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Mrs. Bai worriedly, and seemed to silently convey the hidden worries in her heart, and Mrs. Bai's heart also sank to the bottom, thinking that the girl was also more than lucky, whether she was safe or not, she did not return overnight, and she was trapped in the mountains and forests, and there were so many monks in addition to the people of the Bai family who were present, this matter could not be suppressed no matter what!

The Lu family is really calculating, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as arranging Bai Hibiscus to fall into a maze, maybe she also has a back hand, her approach of rushing to kill everything will definitely not let Bai Hibiscus come out unharmed!

Mama Sun also looked at the exit of the bamboo forest with a worried face, to be honest, she really likes this smart and polite eldest lady, plus she often accompanies the old lady these days, and the more people get along, the more affectionate they are, even if the old lady has a little bit of use of the mind, but it is inevitable that she has some true feelings for the well-behaved and sensible eldest lady.

If something really happens to the eldest lady, it is really a pity, she sees that the second lady is not a star or a half point no matter which point is worse than the eldest lady, even if the old lady cultivates carefully in the future, there is the lady and the mother, the second lady will not be concentric with the old lady, what a pity!
