Chapter 241: The Ghost Lingers
At this moment, Mu Longyuan looked at Bai Zi who had already been chaotic on the chessboard in front of him with a smile, since he said that he wanted to participate in her ceremony, this girl looked like she was out of control, and she was scared like this?
Seeing that there was still a calm expression on her face, but the tightly twisted willow eyebrows had betrayed her emotions, Mu Longyuan suddenly had a thought in her heart, Xia Qianwei should be cursing him in her heart, right?
"Lord Wang, the courtiers admit defeat. β
"Oh, the kind that is convinced?" The handsome man raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was full of playfulness, Xia Qianwei naturally understood the meaning of his words.
Yes, she really took it, but she didn't expect that the Youwang of this Chen Kingdom was actually a willful man who liked to base his pleasure on the pain of a little girl, Xia Qianwei's mind had already appeared Liu Qin'er's expression at that time.
As the so-called feng shui takes turns, she can understand Qin'er's feelings.
Xia Qianwei suddenly had an impulse, why don't she propose to Mrs. Xia immediately tomorrow morning, this gift will be waived, right?
"The prince is afraid that he is too busy to take care of himself now, and your fiancΓ© may not go, and there is no king to support you anymore, this first gift in life is inevitably too bleak. β
Mu Longyuan looked extremely confident, but Xia Qianwei's eyes flashed, "How did the prince know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in trouble?"
Could it be that he did it behind his back?
I saw that the man in front of him showed a deep sneer, and there was a faint anger in his tone, "Instead of worrying about others, why don't you ask why Leng Yuhan won't go to your birthday gift?"
Doesn't she know that if Leng Yuhan doesn't show up that day, I'm afraid she will become the laughing stock of the whole Kyoto again.
Xia Qianwei had a faint restrained expression, and this posture of not wanting to continue the topic with him made Mu Longyuan immediately bored a lot.
He immediately stretched out his hand and coldly messed up the black and white pieces on the chessboard, "What kind of chess is played, since the child has already slept, you can also get out." β
Xia Qianwei didn't understand where she had offended His Royal Highness the Venerable Youwang, so she handed over the baby in her arms and saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Wang." β
Leaving these words, she had slowly turned around and quietly retreated.
But I didn't want to think that a few seconds later, there was a cry again in the room, Mu Longyuan looked at the swaddling clothes in his hand in a daze, and his original cold expression was only helpless, "Why are ......you crying again?"
......
Xia Qianwei didn't expect that one day her emotions would be so easily affected by others, she thought all night about how to make Mu Longyuan change her mind, but found that she was helpless against that bad man.
Tossing and turning, when I opened my eyes, the sky was already dark, and suddenly there was an uneasy noise outside.
"Picturesque, what happened?" Xia Qianwei rubbed her temples tiredly and got up slowly, only to see the maid guarding outside in a panic, and her picturesque face was pale.
"Miss, I heard that a female corpse was found in the garden pool...... Like, it seems to be the maid Lian'er of Yirong Courtyard. β
At this moment, the garden is a scene of panic.
A gray shadow fell from the sky that had not yet opened up, rendering a thick and oppressive atmosphere.
When the old lady heard the news, she looked at the little maid who had been salvaged ashore at this time with a solemn face, and a housekeeper reached out and tore open the straw mat covering Lian'er's body, revealing a face that was swollen and white, and it was difficult to distinguish facial features.
There was a burst of screams all around, and the ladies turned their faces sideways and didn't dare to look again, and an unbelievable cry suddenly sounded, "Lian, Lian'er?!"
Xia Xiang ignored everyone's obstruction, and threw herself on the wet body, the old lady frowned, and anxiously ordered, "What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly pull Miss Nine away!"
However, before anyone could help her up, the weak girl rolled her eyes and fainted, and the surroundings were suddenly in a hurry.
There was a whisper one after another, but an abrupt voice sounded, "You see, her face looks like ......"
I saw that there was a wound on the face of this corpse that extended from the forehead to the cheek, which was exactly the same as the wound on the face of Miss Seven at the beginning!
"Like, it's so similar......!
"Miss Seven also fell into this pool at the beginning, could it be Miss Seven......"
Miss Seven is back and asking for her life?!
Xia Qing in the crowd was shocked, and immediately shouted coldly at the few subordinates who were not holding their mouths, "What nonsense?!"
However, the more she looked at the scar on that face, the more she shuddered, and she felt as if her feet were standing on a piece of ice, and the biting coldness crept up on her body like a poisonous snake.
"Third Miss is here!"
Everyone immediately looked at the girl who was slowly approaching at this time, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange, after all, the death of Miss Seven was not unrelated to Miss Three, so at this moment, everyone's eyes were also clouded with suspicion and suspicion.
The old lady's face became more and more ugly, why did such a thing happen at this juncture?
She saw that Xia Qianwei was going to come forward to take a look, so she hurriedly stopped, "Child, don't go over, it's unlucky!"
The old lady only felt panicked in her heart, but the girl in front of her seemed unusually calm, she glanced at the unrecognizable face, "Grandmother, are you sure that she is the maidservant in Yirong Courtyard?"
I only listened to the family on the side explain, "Lian'er has been missing for several days, and the last time I saw her, the little one did wear this dress." β
The old lady pulled Xia Qianwei aside, looking like she didn't want her to interfere in this matter, and in two days it would be her granddaughter's concubine, how could she be contaminated with such unfortunate things at this time?
"Pass the order, if anyone leaks the slightest rumor about today's affairs, immediately break their legs and sell the house!"
Xia Qing didn't know how she walked back to Shuangshu Courtyard, her mind was full of Fang Cai's lifeless face, and she always unconsciously overlapped the Xia Le in her memory.
Suddenly, a wild laugh came from the front, "Miss Seven, are you back?!"
This familiar voice made Xia Qing couldn't help but be shocked, but she saw that her aunt, who had been locked in the house, ran out of nowhere, and was looking at the empty air at the moment, showing an ecstatic expression.
"Auntie, what are you talking about?"
Even Xia Qing didn't notice that her voice was weirdly hoarse at the moment, only to see Aunt Ruan, who was wearing a cloak, slowly turning her head and looking at her with those bright and crazy eyes.
"Your seventh sister is back! Look, she's right behind you......"
