Chapter 19: Emerald is Dead
After watching Cheng Ying come back, Wen Yukou and Hua Yue waited for a long time, but they didn't see Jade come back, so they sent Mama Gui to the old lady to inquire about the situation. I don't know that after Mama Gui went, there has been no news.
"Miss, Jade and Mama Gui haven't come back, why don't I go and have a look?" Hua Yue saw that it was getting late, and there was a little worry on her face.
Wen Yukou's face was calm, holding a book in her hand, and she gently turned a page: "No." If even Mama Gui can't find out the news, you will only return in vain if you go, so it's better to wait patiently. ”
Hua Yue was still worried: "Then I'll go outside to pick them up." ”
Wen Yukou was sitting alone in the room reading a book, when a strong wind suddenly blew open the window, and the bead curtain rattled and cracked, crisp and broken. Wen Yukou raised her eyes to look at the fluttering and impacting bead curtain, and suddenly felt that her body was cold, and she felt that the wind was crawling close to her like a snake, soaking in the cold. Xiyue ran over and closed the window, then took out an emerald cloak and said, "Miss, the wind on this big night, I'm afraid that the evil spirit will be invaded, so the slave maid will add a cloak to you." ”
Wen Yukou nodded, and as soon as she put on her cloak, she heard a commotion outside, she stood up and asked as she walked, "Hua Yue, are Mama Gui and Jade back?" ”
She walked straight into the courtyard. Hua Yue, Mama Gui and Mama An were standing in the courtyard, Hua Yue seemed to be anxious to ask Mama An about the situation, so she didn't hear Wen Yukou's question. Why did Mama Ann come? Wen Yukou frowned slightly, and had a bad premonition in her heart.
Seeing her walk out, Mama Gui took two steps to support her: "Miss, the night is cool and windy, be careful of your body." ”
"Where's Jade?" Wen Yukou asked, her tone was as cold as ice, and the cloak on her body rolled up, scraping her face. She looked straight at Mama An, with doubts and persecution. Hua Yue looked at Mama An anxiously.
Mama An showed a gentle smile, lowered her head and said softly: "Don't worry, eldest lady, after dealing with Jiaoyue's incident, the old lady has already punished Mrs. Dou heavily, and originally wanted to transfer Jade to the eldest lady's Ningbi Courtyard, but Jade said that she didn't want to stay in the sad place, and wanted to return to her hometown to marry and spend her life in peace." The old lady was merciful, so she naturally agreed to her and sent someone to send her back early. Before leaving, she asked the slave to thank you, saying that she would have the opportunity to come to see you in the future. ”
After Mama An finished speaking, she waited aside, smiling amiably. She is the most polite old woman, and she will not say a word before the master speaks.
After Hua Yue heard what she said, she put her mind at ease, and then said with some disgust: "Jade is young, and there are so many eyes in her heart, so I still have to clean up the best room for her." Since she is leaving, she should also say goodbye to the eldest lady, and I can send her off......"
Hua Yue kept talking, but Wen Yukou didn't listen to a word. She couldn't hear it.
In fact, when Mama An said Jade's thoughts, Wen Yukou already knew that it was a scam.
Jade will not come back, Hua Yue still doesn't know that she is dead. Perhaps the moment Wen Yukou stepped out of the old lady's room, she was already doomed to death. After all, Lao Taijun is unwilling to give up the Dou family, the Dou family is a controllable potential force cultivated by her, and for the sake of the life of a mere girl, it is not worth damaging this potential force. Wen Yukou finally knew why the old lady was angry. She was not angry that Dou forced Jiaoyue to death, but that she was angry that Dou forced Jiaoyue to death and fell into the handle.
Therefore, in order to protect the Dou family and hide people's eyes, Lao Taijun had to remove this handle with his own hands. Jade did not go back to her hometown to marry, but was executed by the old lady somewhere, and it was impossible to find even the body.
But in the face of such a scam full of loopholes, I can't refute, I can't question, and I can't even ask about the whereabouts of Jade.
Wen Yukou only felt a chill in her heart, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, and was steadily supported by Mama Gui: "Miss, since Jade is willing to stay away from the land of right and wrong, let's bless her, planning is in the sky, even if Miss loves Jade, she can't be confused!" ”
Mama Gui was old, and while supporting Wen Yukou, she pinched her arm hard, hoping to exchange the severe pain for Miss's reason.
Maybe it's because the severe pain is really useful, Wen Yukou's eyelashes blinked slightly, raised her face, and her dark eyebrows were slender and cold: "The old lady is kind and noble, and the jade is grateful to the old lady, I just hope that he can see the jade one day to comfort the unfinished fate." ”
Mama Gui breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and her palms were full of sweat.
Mama An saw Wen Yukou's acquaintance, and took a jade box from the hand of the maid ring next to her, carved with a hundred birds and a phoenix, shining and translucent: "This time the slave and maid came over, the old lady ordered the slave and maid to bring this to the eldest lady, tomorrow is the Daughter's Day, you are the daughter of the Wen family, your status is noble, and you naturally have to worry more about dressing up than other young ladies." It was getting late, so the slave maid would not disturb the young lady's rest. ”
"Please thank Mama An for me, old lady. Huayue, I can't see the road clearly, you go and send Mama An. Wen Yukou took the jade box, and her voice was steady and moderate.
"Yes, the slave will tell the old lady." Mama An glanced at Wen Yukou meaningfully, as if she was still appreciating her words and deeds, and finding out the difference from them. But Wen Yukou just smiled slightly, pretending not to understand.
After the others left, Wen Yukou turned around and walked towards the room, walking quickly and quickly, wrapped in the wind, the thin figure gradually disappeared behind the shaking bead curtain: "Mama Gui, I want to be quiet tonight, don't let people disturb me." The news that Jade is dead, don't tell Hua Yue for the time being. ”
Mama Gui sighed: "Yes." ”
On the second day, news came from outside that Mrs. Dou was unable to travel because of a sudden illness, so the Xie family in the second room was in charge of the travel matters.
When Mama Gui spoke, Hua Yue was opening the jade box, taking out a red jade bead crested golden step shake, and gently wearing it on Wen Yukou's hair. Wen Yukou stretched out her index finger and lightly tapped the outline of Jin Busha, her little finger was slightly raised, and she looked at herself in the mirror indifferently.
"That's all there is to it......"
Today is busy, and the matter of asking the old lady to say goodbye will be dismissed, so Wen Yukou wants to go to see the little brother Chengying. After dressing up, Hua Yue was afraid that her clothes would be stained when she walked, so she ordered the little maid to carry a light sedan chair and send Wen Yukou over.
However, after arriving, I saw that the maids were all kneeling outside the courtyard, the atmosphere was solemn, and there were several guards with knives standing next to the gate, with solemn and fierce faces. Wen Yukou got down from the light sedan chair, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that although the person guarding was wearing an ordinary guard uniform, what was hanging from his waist was a black and gold black sheathed sword, and he was very vigilant, and no one was allowed to approach. Could it be that the people from the palace came to Chengying's courtyard? Who is it?
At this time, there was a burst of laughter in the courtyard, and several people walked out, in addition to Cheng Ying and the master of the second room, there were two distinguished guests. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the treasure was shining, and Wen Yukou didn't have time to avoid it, so she simply stood quietly in place, waiting for them to approach. Wen Chengying saw her and said happily: "Sister, why are you here?" ”
Two completely different gazes fell on Wen Yukou.
