Chapter 17: The City is Full of Storms
Shen Yinqiu heard the sound of the paper slowly flipping through, and her heart, which was still a little impetuous, miraculously calmed down, but her body was too painful for her to fall asleep, and she didn't dare to make a noise to disturb others.
Thinking back to the accident that night, it turned out that the carriage overturned, but Liu Daqi has always been calm in the carriage, could it be that he was frightened by the bad guys, and he was too nervous so he made a mistake?
Who are the two groups of people who are fighting to the death outside her Zhuangzi? Wait a minute! Blackie! Shen Yinqiu's face was anxious, she had just heard that she had been in a coma for six days, so wouldn't Xiao Hei ......
Wan Qiyan naturally didn't miss her look, flipped through the books and asked, "But what's uncomfortable?" ”
Shen Yinqiu apologized: "Young Master Yan, are all my maid bodyguards seriously injured?" ”
Wan Qiyan only cared about her alone, he didn't know about the situation of these subordinates, and when he heard her ask, he was a little silent. The maid knew it, and cautiously stepped forward and whispered beside Wan Qiyan.
Wan Qiyan said: "Two of them have been injured and are fine, and the maid is still recuperating until the bones are injured, you don't have to worry." ”
"But why bother Young Master Yan to bring in those two injured bodyguards?"
Wan Qiyan didn't agree in time, lowered his head and turned a page of the book and said, "Why?" ”
Shen Yinqiu was still in the mood to notice these strange details, and only said: "It's not a secret, we left Xiao Hei when we left in a hurry, and we planned to go back to pick it up at dawn, but we didn't want such an accident." Now that six days have passed, I am afraid that I will ...... But one way or another, I'm going to go back! ”
Shen Yinqiu was very resolute, although he gasped after finishing speaking, his little face was wrinkled, he was afraid that he would be hurt.
Wan Qiyan didn't know when there was a little black, but he could just send someone back to investigate such a trivial matter. He comforted Shen Yinqiu and said, "Well, I'll tell them about this matter now, you can rest assured that you can recuperate first." After saying that, he really got up and left.
Shen Yinqiu was inexplicably moved, she was anxious, she was afraid that the other party would not think about the delay of time, but she didn't want this Yan Gongzi to get up and tell her without asking anything.
In the past six days, the capital has been far less peaceful than this annex.
How to say that Shen Yinqiu is also the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it has been rumored that Zhuangzi was sent to the countryside because of character problems.
Of course, it can be spread like this, and some people will inevitably publicize and agitate from it.
However, this rumor was finally overshadowed by a new incident, and something even more exciting broke out again, attracting everyone's attention to this day.
It's all because the second miss of the Shen family is missing!
It is said that when the Shen family sent something, they found that the door was open, the house was in chaos, a mess, and nothing of value was missing, and it was suspected that it was patronized by thieves.
What's even more terrifying is that there are blood stains on the ground at the door, and these two young ladies are afraid that they will be more than lucky.
Shen didn't care much about Shen Yinqiu, if no one knew, he would use some tricks and feet to cover up the right to cover up and ignore Shen Yinqiu when he died. But unexpectedly, it was so big that he couldn't pretend he didn't know.
It's about his reputation!
Therefore, after he finished the court these days, he had to go to the county government to follow up and investigate the matter whenever he had time, running up and down, so that the people praised him for being a good father.
Good father?
Zhang sat in the courtyard drinking tea, the cold wind blew her grosgrain sleeves embroidered with gold silk peonies, but the bun was meticulous, only the gold hairpin tassels inserted diagonally on the sideburns kept shaking.
She has been in good spirits these days, staying at home, and her makeup is also very intense. Hearing the news from the maid around me, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth very sarcastically.
What a good father, everything is just pretending! I don't know which slut spread the news of Shen Yinqiu, and the trouble doesn't stop. Forcing the lord to take care of it, she had planned to send someone to steal the money from the hoof, so that she could not be so comfortable.
Unexpectedly, she specially sent her grandmother to Zhuangzi with coarse grains to humiliate Shen Yinqiu, but brought back the news of Shen Yinqiu's disappearance!
At that moment, she made up her mind to cover up this matter, and only told the old lady and the old man that she knew, presumably the two of them knew about the troubles and would choose to agree with her opinion, after all, the current Prime Minister's Mansion no longer had to rely on the Liu family.
is a concubine, and Mrs. Liu is a baby.
But in the blink of an eye, the city is full of wind and rain, how can you ignore it!
At this time, there were three trembling men kneeling in front of her, and when they looked closely, their figures were similar to the thieves who stole Shen Yinqiu's belongings. There are handmaidens in the four corners of the courtyard.
"You know how powerful it is, have you ever touched our second miss!" The grandmother beside Zhang's side asked sharply.
Because of the big trouble, Zhang didn't interrogate these people, and he was not at ease.
The three thieves were also panicked, and now the officials are searching for suspicious people everywhere, and they have been hiding at home for many days without going out, and they don't even have time to spend the stolen silver.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Zhang stared at the tall dog and horse who took the silver from her hand and said, "What did Mrs. Ben tell you in the first place?" ”
The dog and horse immediately trembled and said, "No, you can't kill her." ”
"What about you?"
The dog and horse sobbed: "Madame, the little one really just stole the money and no one touched it, madam!" ”
"You shouldn't have forgotten your family, or your own hands and feet are also extremely important, if you dare to lie to Mrs. Ben...... Beware of your skins. ”
"Yes, yes, thank you, madam, we are loyal to our wife, and our wife treats us even more, and we can't overdo it with our lives." The dogs and horses kowtowed, and the accomplices on both sides saw that they also showed their loyalty.
It's terrible that this big family is still an official! Regret not being at the beginning!
After Zhang asked, they were not so bold, and casually rewarded a hundred taels of silver and said: "You follow Mrs. Ben, Mrs. Ben naturally treats you well, take this silver, the wind in the capital is tight, go out and avoid it." ”
The dog and horse were frightened into a cold sweat before, and they were immediately overjoyed when they got the silver, and they secretly left after thanking them repeatedly.
Zhang looked at their backs sarcastically, lowered his head and took a sip of the cold morning dew flower tea, and immediately opened his mouth to spit it out. The maid beside him immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, waiting in fear.
The Zhang family had no intention of punishing for the time being, and couldn't figure it out, who did this Shen Yinqiu offend? Although Zhuangzi in the countryside is remote, he has never heard of grass thieves.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang got up and prepared to go back to the house. After taking two steps and taking a pause, he looked sideways in the direction of the West Courtyard, and smiled proudly, his only daughter died, what does this slut have to rely on in the future!
And she is the wife of the eldest son and the eldest daughter!
The master of the West Courtyard is really in a bad mood, and Liu, who has always been lazy enough to lie down and never sit, and who can sit and never stand, is standing by the window with gloomy eyes at this moment.
The two maidservants around me didn't know where to start, when the second lady came in the past, the aunt always ignored it and didn't take the second miss in her eyes. Now since the accident of the second lady, the aunt seems to have changed as a person. It's a little mysterious, but it's even more fascinating.
Liu Shi stared at the fallen leaves of the sycamore outside the window, and asked coldly, "What is the situation outside now?"
The eldest girl Qingliu hurriedly said: "Back to the master, after we found someone to spread the news, there was a rumor outside whether the second miss had ...... was assassinated, and there was no news from the county government for a long time. ”
Liu picked up the flower branch inserted in the blue and white porcelain by the window, and a few drops of water fell on the edge of the window, "What's the movement on Zhang's side?" ”
"I heard that the hospital was closed for a period of time in the afternoon, and I haven't been out of the house except for going to the old lady's place in the past few days."
Liu's fingers, painted with delicate nail patterns, snapped off the blooming bright flower branches. Qingliu dared to ask: "Master, but do you doubt Madame's hand?" She still wants to hide it, if we don't make trouble with the sophomore miss, where will anyone care. ”
Liu pursed his lips, threw the broken flower branch out of the window for a moment, and said, "She doesn't have the courage yet." ”
Qingliu stopped talking.
In today's court, it takes three years of disappearance before a death is determined. Therefore, the search will not be concluded so quickly, and if there is no progress in another half a month, this matter will sink down and become a suspicious case.
Liu was wearing a thin shirt, only a white underwear and a warm yellow cloak, and he stood so cold that he didn't feel it for a long time. I remembered that poor face with a longing to see her, and my heart was irritable, and it really didn't stop!
"Qingliu, find someone to bring a letter to the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, and ask them to help."
Qingliu is her dowry maid, and she is naturally familiar with the family affairs of the Liu family, and at that time, the young lady married the old lady and the three young masters were all strongly opposed!
Hearing what the master said, Qingliu responded, and asked with some hesitation: "Master, we haven't been in contact with the young masters for a long time, will they ...... Ignore us? ”
"Even if you ignore me, you won't ignore their nieces, you avoid the eyes and ears, and even bring the news to them." Liu turned around and walked towards the bed. Sure enough, a kid or something...... Troublesome and annoying.
For a while, four or five groups of people turned the world upside down for a Shen Yinqiu, and Shen Yinqiu changed from an unknown maiden to a well-known existence in an instant.
After Wan Qiyan received the news, he felt that this place could no longer stay, if it was just those officials in the Beijing government, it would not be enough to be afraid, but if Liu Shen'an of Zhongshu Province and Liu Shenzhi of Monk Book Province sent someone to investigate, he should send Shen Yinqiu back.
But Shen Yinqiu looks like this now...... The eyesight of the eyes has not recovered, and the maidservants around him are still unable to wait, so how can they be sent back to recuperate?
In late autumn, Wan Qiyan's body became more and more bad, and after thinking for a while, he coughed constantly, because he had not seen her for two days.
Wan Tong came in from the outside medicine, followed by Wan Bai, and immediately trotted over when he heard the cough, and the decoction in his hand did not spill a drop, "Master, how are you, Brother Wanbai, come and see the master!" ”
Wan Bai didn't dare to delay, and stepped forward to feed the pills before starting to take the pulse. The pulse was floating and heavy, ethereal and weak, Wan Bai frowned, "The master's poison is getting stronger and stronger, the medicine is already difficult to control, is there any news that the famous doctor is missing?" ”
Wan Tong bit his lip, "No, I found out afterwards that God did not appear in Jiangnan at all." When we arrived, we were plotted and found nothing. ”
Wan Bai sighed, how is this good?
