Chapter 596 Is It a Bitter Meat Scheme?

In broad daylight, the woman was dressed in black, standing upright like a ghost, and Xin Yi's face immediately changed.

"Red beans? Why are you here?"

"Girl......" Hongdou cried, called Xin Yi, and pounced on her.

Momotama quickly reached out a hand and grabbed the person, "What are you doing?"

The red beans were pulled, and people couldn't pass, but their faces were desperately looking at Xin Yi, and their eyes were bursting like tears falling down.

"Girl, help me......"

Xin Yi saw that her hair was slightly messy, her eyes were red, her face was pale, and there were imperceptible stains on her clothes, and she glanced at Taoyu.

"Take her to the lilac room."

Momotama nodded.

··

Lilac, agarwood, woody, incense, musk are five different rooms in the Ninety-One Apothecary. The lilac house is on the left side of the courtyard, close to the well, protected from the sun and exceptionally cool.

Xin Yi sat down, and the red bean was escorted in by Taoyu.

Taoyu and Xingyuan were extremely vigilant against Gao Minglou's girl, and they grabbed it with both hands.

Xin Yi glanced at it, motioned for Taoyu to let go of her hand, and handed over a plate of pastries on the table.

"Eat, eat before you speak."

Hongdou looked at the pastry, swallowed his saliva, seemed to be hungry, glanced at Xin Yi, and took it and gobbled it up.

Xin Yi got up and personally poured her a cup of herbal tea.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Hongdou looked at Xin Yi and wiped her tears while eating.

"Thank you, girl......"

After she filled her stomach and drank another cup of water, she relieved herself and watched Xin Yi kneel slowly.

"If the girl doesn't save me, I won't be able to live......

Xin Yi: "What's going on, speak slowly."

Red Bean lowered her eyes and sobbed twice.

"On the day of the girl's wedding, Green Calyx and I went with the young master, and since then we have been in exile and hiding in Tibet......

"Where are you hiding?"

"We hid in Bianjing for a few months, taking advantage of the distraction of the people on the New Year's Festival and the lack of strict arrest in various places, we sneaked into Yangzhou......

Xin Yi didn't speak, waiting for her to say.

Hongdou complained, "As soon as I came to Yangzhou, I was thrown into the nunnery of Camel Mountain by the young master, and I have been ignoring it, and I was sent to serve a few days ago...... Green Calyx is different from me, Green Calyx is smart and has always been the young master's confidant. And I was stupid, when I was in Bianjing, I once revealed that I wanted to follow the girl, and the young master was more defensive against me, so I no longer trusted it from then on, and only assigned *** some dirty work and miscellaneous work......

Xin Yi: "And then?"

Hongdou looked up, "On the day of the temple fair, Green Calyx saw that there was a seller of lotus leaf cakes, and told me that he was very greedy, so he went out to buy two...... Unexpectedly, the young master was furious about this, saying that the green calyx almost ruined his big thing, and let people beat and kill the green calyx......

When it came to the death of the green calyx, she wept so much that she couldn't stop crying.

"Calyx told me before I died...... The young master suspected that she was buying lotus leaf cakes to find an opportunity to ventilate the girl...... Because the young man wanted to kill the girl, he also assigned her to disguise herself in the house on the day of the little son's full moon banquet...... I'm going to take away the girl's child......

Xin Yi pursed his lips and was silent.

Momoyu and Xingyuan were indignant.

"Suspicion alone kills people alive?"

Hongdou choked up and said, "The two sisters don't know. I have served the girl with the green calyx and have feelings for the girl...... Green Calyx said that she was reluctant to let the girl die, so she secretly sandwiched the note in the lotus leaf cake and asked the person who sold the cake to send it to the governor's mansion ......

Note? Xin Yi didn't receive any note.

Her eyebrows twitched, "You go on."

Red Bean shook her head and looked at her with tears in her eyes.

"After the green calyx died, the task of stealing the little boy fell to me...... The young master took people to Hump Ridge, left me and two guards behind, and told me to sneak into the house and steal the children......

Xin Yi's face changed slightly, and he lowered his eyes and asked her.

"Why didn't you do that?

Red Bean sobbed uncontrollably.

"I'm scared...... Girl, I'm scared...... The young master said that someone in the house would answer me...... Let me leave Yangzhou when I get the child...... I didn't want to do that, and after the young master left, I deceived the two guards and ran away secretly......

After saying that, the red bean lay on the ground tremblingly.

"They're looking for me, looking for me everywhere...... Girl, if I am found by them, I will surely die......

Kowtow to Xin Yi again.

"Girl, save me, I don't want to die......

Xin Yi was silent for a moment, and said softly, "You don't have to be afraid, Gao Minglou is more and less auspicious now, maybe now the corpse is cold, and there is no chance to trouble you again."

Red Bean looked at her in surprise and forgot to cry for a while.

"The young master is dead? No, it won't......" she shook her head in horror, "The young master won't die. He said he wouldn't die......

Then, Red Bean looked nervously left and right, and his appearance was terrifying.

「…… There are young masters' eyeliner everywhere in Yangzhou, and there are also ...... in the Zhizhou Mansion After the green calyx died, I thought about it...... Why did the young master suspect her? It must have been the lotus leaf cake she gave out that fell into the hands of the young master...... That's how the green calyx was beaten to death by the young master......

It can be seen that Gao Minglou has planted a shadow in Hongdou's heart, even if Gao Minglou's body is now in front of her, it will be difficult for her to get rid of her fear-

"Don't be afraid, I'll settle you down."

The news brought by the red bean is valuable.

She is a person from Gaominglou, and she knows a lot of things about Gaominglou, whether they have the love of master and servant or not, Xin Yi has no reason to push her out.

However, she is not entirely reassured.

What if the appearance of red beans is just a bitter ploy?

Xin Yi didn't dare to lure the wolf into the house, so he didn't take the red bean back to the house, but called a lover, led her down to bathe and change clothes, and arranged a place to live on the second floor.

When she left the Ninety-One Pharmacy, she left Taoyu behind, saying that it was protection, but in fact, she was also monitoring nearby.

Then, for the sake of safety, she asked Liang Yi to transfer a few guards from Tianshui Pavilion to the pharmacy on the grounds of taking care of Cheng Cang, which was a little more reassuring.

Hongdou was grateful to Dade for her arrangement, but she seemed to be frightened by Gao Minglou, hiding in the room all day, refusing to come out to meet people, and she would tremble nervously at the slightest disturbance.

In the past two days, I came to the house to find Xin Yi, and I made friends with a lot of ladies in the name of rewarding lotus......

Fu Jiuqu went to Hump Ridge and didn't come back for two days, Xin Yi asked people to check the people of Tianshui Pavilion, and the two nurses could go home from the house before, and she also found an excuse to stop her.

Why did the lotus leaf cake sent by the green calyx fall into the hands of Gao Minglou? In this governor's mansion, which ones are internal ghosts, she is ready to take this opportunity to find out.

Otherwise, with a "ghost" on her side, she would not be able to sleep and eat.

In the evening of that day, Xin Yi was talking with Chen and Liu in the pavilion of Tianshui Pavilion, and the girl came to report that the county princess was back, and asked the princess to go back to the room to talk.

Xin Yi's heart moved, and his face was happy.

"I'll be right over."

In the ridicule of the two ladies, Xin Yi said goodbye with a smile and hugged Xiao Yu'er back to the room.

Fu Jiuqu turned his back to her and was changing clothes.

Xin Yi entered the house and smelled a smell of blood, she immediately changed her face, and turned around to hand Xiao Yu'er to Xingyuan.

"Brother Jiu, why are you injured?"

Fu Jiuqu's eyebrows were slightly cold: "It's okay."

Xin Yi pursed his lips and walked over, and in a hurry, he pulled open his clothes and saw the deep blood mark on his right shoulder.

"Who hurt anyone?"

Fu Jiuqu hesitated: "Gao Minglou."
