Chapter 5: Confrontation

The dilapidated courtyard gate was crumbling under the vigorous slapping, and with a "bang", the courtyard gate was pushed open by force, and the guards of the general's mansion jumped in, and the torches set off their fierce faces even more hideous.

Qiu'er's body trembled because of the loud knock on the door, her palms hanging under her sleeves clenched into fists because of tension, and the pain of her nails piercing into her palms reminded her of the responsibility she carried, she was not afraid, because behind her, there was a young lady who needed her to protect.

"Search for the assassins, little girl quickly get out of the way, if you let the assassins go, be careful that Madame blames you for your life." The guards stared at Qiu'er who was blocking the door with wide eyes, threatening with a compelling voice.

Yingying water rippled in Qiu'er's eyes, she took a deep breath, swallowed the fear that welled up in her heart, and reprimanded sharply: "Let me get out of the way, what a joke, this is the eldest lady's boudoir, how can you let in if you want to, if you know that you are not following the rules, and those who don't know think that the general's mansion is not strict in discipline, and let the subordinates wantonly bully the master." ”

"Well said!" The flower shadow in the house couldn't help but applaud Qiu'er in her heart.

The guard led by him didn't expect Qiu'er to be so sharp and speechless, but when he thought of Madame's instructions, he couldn't help but stare at it, and he was disgusted, anyway, Hua Yingmei is also an unfavored, if it really makes trouble, Madame is on top, he will be degraded and secretly promoted at most, it is better than being reprimanded by Madame for not doing things well.

Thinking of this, the man let out a cold snort in his nose and shouted: "You little girl, why do you stop it in every way, could it be that there is really a thief in the house, even if it is punished by Mrs. Shishi, I will break in tonight." ”

As he spoke, he pushed away Qiu'er, who was blocking the door, and with a "bang", Qiu'er staggered into the house, her back slammed into the corner of the table, and beads of sweat suddenly overflowed her forehead.

Qiu'er endured the pain in her body, using her body as a door to block the path of the guards, and her face was full of unyielding: "Even if you die, I won't let you break in." ”

A hideous smile tugged at the corner of the guard's mouth, "Then, you're going to die!" ”

Rubbing the thick hand without a trace of hesitation clamped Qiu'er's neck, in the courtyard of the deep house, the death of a maid is like the death of an ant, who cares.

"Presumptuous." The weak voice swept away with a fierce momentum.

The guard raised her head, looking through Qiu'er's red face at the flower shadow who got up and sat at the head of the bed at some point, in the darkness, her eyes as vast as stars exuded frost as sharp as a knife. Being stared at by this gaze, the guard only felt a cold air surging up from the soles of his feet, as if a scorpion had climbed up to his palm, and slammed it fiercely, making him shake off the hand that was clamping Qiu'er's neck in a panic.

"Escort Zhen, you are so bold." The voice that was obviously not loud was like a muffled bell, exploding in Zhen Ruji's ears, and the momentum was so powerful that he subconsciously took a step back, as if staring at him was no longer the flower shadow ghost who recognized people and could be bullied, but a fierce beast that suddenly woke up.

Realizing his gaffe, Zhen Ruji frowned, how could he be frightened by this waste lady out of proportion, beast? She is also worthy.

Zhen Ruji said with a mocking face: "Miss, the slave thinks that the thieves in the house have broken into your boudoir, for your safety, I advise the eldest lady to sit still honestly and let us search, and this girl of yours, she has repeatedly obstructed us from arresting the thief, I am afraid that it is with the thief, such a malicious maid, the slave is cleaning the door for the eldest lady, if the eldest lady suffers any harm, how can we explain to the lady!" ”

"You..."Qiu Er, who was relieved, was speechless, obviously they broke into Miss's room, how dare they reverse black and white so much!

"Hehe~" Hua Yingmei sneered, slowly sat up straight, his eyes were nailed to Zhen Ruji's body, and he said word by word: "The slave trespassed into the mansion, and the responsibility is fifty boards; Creating something out of nothing, disregarding human life, the crime should be punished; And the intention to push my father to injustice is a thousand cuts. ”

In the last four words, the flower shadow suddenly raised her voice, and her tone was as sharp as a knife.

Hua Yingmei didn't give Zhen Ruji a chance to defend himself at all, and then said: "Since my mother's death, my father has not raised any of my aunts as equal wives, where did your wife come from, do you want everyone in the government and the opposition to know that my father let my aunt grow up in the mansion and spoil his concubine and kill his wife?" Or let the government and the opposition and even the saint know that because of a small thief, the slave of the general's mansion broke into the boudoir of the concubine unscrupulously, and also wanted people who don't know the truth to see, as the concubine of the general's mansion, where do I live? The most dilapidated mansion in the General's Palace! ”

The last words were like the last straw that crushed the camel, so that Zhen Ruji had to give up the plan to break into her room, if it was known that the concubine of the General's Mansion lived here, then not only the lady, but also the lord would be impeached by the imperial history, according to the previous charge of conniving at the concubine's harsh concubine.

"Let's go!" Zhen Ruji's eyes flashed with a gloomy light, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out of between his teeth.

The guards faded like a tide, half a sound, and the flower shadow lifted the quilt, revealing the man's body curled up in it, she stood up and walked out of bed, staring at the man on the bed with a cold expression, and spread her hand and said, "Medicine." ”

She believed that people like men must have medicine for trauma with them.

The man jumped off the bed, playfully glanced at the quilt that still had the warmth of the two of them, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and put it in the hand of Hua Yingmei: "Cure blood and dispel blood stasis." ”

As the words fell, Hua Yingmei only felt a cold wind blowing around her, and the windows of the house were wide open without warning, and the man standing beside her was still nowhere to be seen.

"We'll see you again." The man's low and playful words echoed in the ears of the flower shadow for a long time.
