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

Su Lan didn't expect the old lady to be so calm at this time, not worrying about Jiang Wanxiu, but blaming 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 already sent someone to look for it, I heard that the bamboo forest behind Xiangguo Temple is haunted, and I don't know if Wan Xiu has strayed into the bamboo forest, so I didn't return overnight!"

When the old lady 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 verified it in person, but she had heard a lot of stories, and it was inevitable that she would believe it a little, if Jiang Wanxiu really accidentally strayed into the bamboo forest, it would not be good, if she suffered any more villains, her life would be over!

The old lady glared at Su Lan angrily, and saw that she was only pretending to be pitiful on the side, so she felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she said: "Su Lan, if something happens to Wanxiu tonight, you as the second aunt will not be able to escape the blame!" ”

Su Lan was slightly stunned, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly cried: "Old lady, heaven and earth can be learned, the concubine has always regarded Wan Xiu as her own, but after what happened last time, you explained that the concubine should not interfere in the affairs of Wan Xiu's courtyard at will, so the concubine relaxed her teaching to Wan Xiu, but it can't be all blamed on the concubine!" ”

The old lady sneered and said, "You mean I'm responsible?" Did I prevent you from taking care of Wan Xiu, so did you let her 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 Wanxiu has come out safely!"

Su Lan didn't want to argue with the old lady anymore, she just wanted to see Jiang Wanxiu's miserable end soon.

The old lady also felt justified when she heard it, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if something happened to Jiang Wanxiu, her hard work these days would be in vain, that is a good seedling, and it will definitely bring great benefits to the Jiang 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 Jiang Wanwen, who had been silent beside Su Lan and seemed to be particularly well-behaved, and frowned slightly, because of Su Lan's relationship, she also had a dislike for this granddaughter, if Jiang Wanxiu couldn't do it, she would have to turn her energy to this second granddaughter again.

Su Lan also keenly discovered the old lady's vision, and her heart was secretly happy, it seems that as long as Jiang Wanxiu is destroyed, Jiang Wanwen will get the old lady's attention again, and all the benefits that belong to Jiang Wanxiu in the future will fall on her daughter.

Now she can't help but admire her daughter's cleverness, and she doesn't hesitate to spend such a price to get rid of Jiang Wanxiu, which is indeed a very worthwhile deal!

The old lady led everyone to the back mountain, Bai Qingqing was overjoyed, yesterday she personally led Jiang Wanxiu over with Jiang Wanwen, and she also saw with her own eyes that she was in a maze and couldn't 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 Jiang Wanxiu would fight with herself in the future!

A group of people gathered in the backyard of Xiangguo Temple, the old lady 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 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?" ”

The old lady 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!" ”

The old lady nodded and said, "There is Master Lao, the old man has thanked me here!" ”

When she turned around, she glared at Su Lan fiercely, obviously she had told Su Lan yesterday that she wanted to inform everyone of this rule, if Wan Xiu knew the danger, it would never be possible to risk her life again, it must be Su Lan who knew about it and didn't report it, so she let Wan Xiu fall into the trap, what a ruthless woman!

Su Lan pretended not to see the old lady's eyes, and still made a worried expression on the side, while Bai Qingqing on the side was looking in the direction of the bamboo forest, she was looking forward to Jiang Wanxiu's "safe" return!

I hope that those people didn't kill people, and Jiang Wanxiu's life must be spared, because she doesn't want Jiang Wanxiu to die like this, she has to be ruined, and she will never recover in order to dissolve the hatred in her heart!

Su Lan nervously held Jiang Wanwen's hand, the excitement in her eyes could not be concealed, Jiang Wanwen glared at her, and warned her with her eyes not to reveal her true thoughts.

Su Lancai lowered her head silently, raised her head for a while, and asked worriedly, "What do you say if Wan Xiu encounters any bad people in the bamboo forest?" I didn't return overnight, but I was afraid of ......"

Jiang Wanwen hurriedly covered her mouth and pretended to be angry: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? My sister Jiren Tianxiang will definitely come back safe and sound! ”

When the words fell, Jiang Wanwen glanced at the old lady worriedly, and seemed to silently convey the hidden worries in her heart, and the old lady's heart also sank to the bottom, thinking that the girl was also more auspicious, 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 Jiang family present, this matter could not be suppressed anyway!

They are really calculating, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as arranging Jiang Wanxiu to fall into a maze, maybe they also have a backhand, her approach of rushing to kill everything will definitely not let Jiang Wanxiu come out unharmed!

Mama Li 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 happened to the eldest lady, it would be a pity, she saw that the second lady was not a star or a half, even if the old lady cultivated carefully in the future, there was a second aunt's kind of motherly presence, and the second lady would not be of the same heart as the old lady, what a pity!

The monks sent by the master of the martial arts have been gone for a long time, but they still don't see Jiang Wanxiu come back, not only the old lady's face is getting more and more ugly, Su Lan also feels a little surprised, couldn't it be that those people really killed Jiang Wanxiu last night?

While they were anxious, the monks who had gone to search for them came out with several corpses, all of them with heavy faces, and even those who were watching from the outside became uncomfortable.

"What's going on?"

The old lady looked at the corpses that were brought out, and the uneasiness in her heart continued to expand, these people were also in the bamboo forest yesterday, and they were already dead, what about Jiang Wanxiu?

One of the monks stepped forward and replied: "Uncle Hui Jian Temple, old lady, the little monks went to the bamboo forest and couldn't find Miss Jiang, but they found these eight corpses, judging by the situation, they should have just died last night, they were all shot with poisonous needles, the methods were extremely ruthless, all of them were pseudonyms, and the poison was also extremely cruel, and the blood sealed the throat!" ”

When the old lady saw that she glanced at the corpse at random, she found that black blood was oozing from her exposed eyes, and she knew that this was definitely a symptom of poison.

Mama Li also frowned, and said in her heart, what a powerful poison!

When Su Lan saw these men, she was so scared that she could barely restrain herself, and she looked at Jiang Wanwen behind her with the same ugly face with puzzled eyes.

Jiang Wanwen was even more surprised in her heart, how could it be, how could these people she had bought, how could they die? So where did Jiang Wanxiu go?

It's impossible, they are a few weak women, these are bandits with kung fu, it is impossible for them to be killed? Could it be that someone saved Jiang Wanxiu last night?

But Jiang Wanxiu was unwilling to let the plan go to ruin like this, as long as Jiang Wanxiu didn't show up, she would also splash this basin of dirty water, and then glanced at Su Lan with a gesture, because Jiang Wanwen gave Su Lan an explanation one by one yesterday, and Su Lan immediately understood.

ruthless, Su Lan immediately stepped forward and cried: "A few little masters, I don't know if you have carefully checked the bamboo forest, have you found any traces left by the little girl?" Ay...... Poor child, if you meet these masked villains in the bamboo forest, you are really afraid of her...... Woohoo......"

The kind little monk hurriedly comforted: "Madam, don't worry, the brothers and sisters have carefully checked, and there is no trace of the woman, only these few corpses, I took a look at the marks on these people, I am afraid that they are all extremely vicious bandits, and somehow they will appear in the bamboo forest!" ”

The master of the martial arts is also puzzled, Xiangguo Temple has always received aristocratic pilgrims, and the safety work naturally cannot be relaxed, why did the female dependents of the Guogong Mansion come to incense yesterday, and there were gangsters who touched the back mountain?

He stepped forward and apologized to the old lady: "Old lady, this matter is quite strange, presumably these gangsters also strayed into the bamboo forest and were killed by the enemy, since the eldest lady was not found in the bamboo forest, I think it should not be in the bamboo forest, maybe we got lost in the temple, why don't we go to the temple to find it again!" ”

The old lady also felt that it made sense, but since Jiang Wanxiu did not enter the bamboo forest, it was impossible for her to not return overnight, what was wrong with this? Now even the old lady can't figure it out!

Su Lan was even more surprised, impossible, the game they laid out was so exquisite, how could Jiang Wanxiu escape?

"Old lady, where did you say the eldest lady went? Since you didn't strayed into the bamboo forest, why didn't you return overnight? Su Lan still didn't give up and wanted to put the charge of not returning overnight on Jiang Wanxiu's head.

Mama Li said respectfully at this time: "Second aunt, maybe there is a misunderstanding, it is not necessarily, we just found that the eldest lady was not in the room early in the morning, how can we be sure that she did not return overnight?" Please also ask the second aunt to be cautious, don't ruin the reputation of the eldest lady! ”

The old lady also became alert, glared at Su Lan, and said in a cold voice: "What Mama Li said is reasonable, as a mother, why are you so unreasonable?" If you have to ruin the reputation of the Jiang Mansion woman in public, what kind of heart do you have? ”
