Chapter 73: The Man Behind the Scenes
Outside the large kitchen, Jin He led people to enclose the front and rear doors.
"Everyone stops what they are doing, come out and stand up!"
"What's going on?" A woman leaning against the door poked her head out and asked.
"Something happened to the Star Picking Pavilion! Madame has something to say, no one in the big kitchen is allowed to go out, wait for Madame to inquire one by one! Jinhe glared at her, "Come out quickly, don't rub it off!" β
"Do you want us all to go out? The work in this hand,"
"Oh, let's go, let's go, Miss Jin and the girl is here, something big must have happened."
The people in the kitchen looked at each other and had to put down what they were doing and come out to stand.
Ziluo stood aside, looking at the people who came out one by one.
Soon she recognized Sister-in-law Wu, who was wearing an apron and dressed very plainly, and she couldn't see that she would be a scheming and ruthless person.
If I remember correctly, not long after returning to Rongfu, when the old lady set up a banquet for the young lady in Qingxi Hall to pick up the wind and wash the dust, she ran here to find food because she was hungry. At that time, Mama Li was with Sister-in-law Wu and brought her hot meat buns!
At that time, she thought that Mama Li was the person next to the young lady, and she still had some trust in her.
Now, I'm going to be like her.
In the future, the young lady is afraid that she will never trust her again.
Jinhe's eyes have also been following Sister-in-law Wu, and she is afraid in her heart.
In the past ten years, she has often come to the big kitchen to receive supplements for her wife. Every time she was very enthusiastic, and asked about her wife's body, and now she thinks that she is to inquire about the situation in the house.
I didn't expect this person to be a meticulous worker?
What if she hurt the lady or the old lady?
And Jin Li Niang was also in the crowd, she looked up at Sister-in-law Wu from time to time, and breathed a sigh of relief. These days, she is really worried about dying. I'm afraid she will find out that she has leaked Miss's plan. Now, it's finally over.
When they were watching Sister-in-law Wu thinking about what was in their hearts, Mu Bi hurriedly came over and said something in Ziluo's ear.
"Which one is Sister-in-law Wu? Madame and Mademoiselle want to see you? β
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Sister-in-law Wu who was standing on the side with different faces and discussed in a low voice.
"Looking for Sister-in-law Wu?"
"Sister-in-law Wu never goes to the Star Pavilion, what are you looking for her?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a question,"
Jin He listened to everyone's discussions, and walked up to Sister-in-law Wu contemptuously, "Sister-in-law Wu, let's go, Mrs. Please go to the Star Pavilion!" β
"What is Madame doing with the old slave? The old slave never picks the Star Pavilion," she looked at Jinhe very calmly, "Is Madame mistaken?" β
"It's wrong, Jin He doesn't dare to say. Don't you know when you go? Pleaseγ" As soon as Nishikiwa stretched out his hand, someone stepped forward and grabbed her.
Sister-in-law Wu did not resist, and was very obediently grabbed out of the big kitchen by them.
"It's lucky that I didn't find you, and you have to be honest and responsible. With the intention of betraying the Lord, it will not end well! Jin He shouted at the rest of the people, "Okay, shut up and get on working!" β
Ziluo glanced at her and followed Mu Bi behind Sister-in-law Wu.
As soon as the group walked through the garden, a small man carrying a bucket walked across from them.
When Sister-in-law Wu saw him, her face changed, and her eyes were full of longing and worry.
The little guy stood aside with a bucket of water in a very regular manner, without the slightest movement.
Mu Bi and Ziluo didn't pay attention either, just thinking that he was a subordinate doing odd jobs.
When Sister-in-law Wu walked up to him, the little guy suddenly spilled the bucket. All of a sudden, the cold water scattered in the air, everyone was defenseless and dodged around, and in the chaos, Sister-in-law Wu fell to the ground, and the little girl took the opportunity to run away.
"Ziluo is optimistic about Sister-in-law Wu!"
Mu Bi covered her face with her hand, and just when she caught a glimpse of a white light, she knew that this person was going to kill Sister-in-law Wu. After saying this, he got up and went after him.
Ziluo turned around, and Mu Bi's figure was gone.
She patted the water droplets on her body and helped Jinhe up, "It's okay?"
"It's okay! I don't know if it's the little guy there, there are really no rules! When you catch him, you must teach him a good lesson! "Nishiki stomped his feet.
"Oops, look! Sister-in-law Wu has blood on her body,"
I don't know who shouted, and everyone was so shocked that everyone looked at Sister-in-law Wu who fell to the ground!
Ziluo hurriedly went over to check, and a dagger was inserted into Sister-in-law Wu's abdomen, and blood had flowed out.
Her eyes tightened, this injury hit the nail on the head, and she was afraid that she would not be able to do it!
"Jinhe, she is not lightly injured, I am afraid that it is dangerous. You find someone to get a doctor. I'll carry her to the Star Picking Pavilion! β
"Okay, I'll help you!" Jin He motioned to the mother-in-law next to him to find the doctor. He is still standing beside Ziluo.
"Leave me alone, I'm going to be gone."
Sister-in-law Wu held the dagger in both hands, and her face turned pale and she said, "I know that sooner or later there will be such a day!" I just didn't expect to die at his handsγγ"
"Who is he? Who the hell is the person behind you? Ziluo hurriedly asked.
"He's the one who spies on me! You," Sister-in-law Wu twisted her facial features in pain, and her voice was very weak, "Wuxinsan was given to me by him, Miss is going to die, I am ashamed of Miss, I hurt her twice,"
"Tell us who they are?" Jinhe also asked anxiously.
"They are powerful, we can't deal with them, run for your life," Sister-in-law Wu vomited blood in her mouth, and her breath was very weak.
"Tell me, who is he?" Ziluo unwillingly lay beside her and continued to ask.
"Li, Prime Minister," Sister-in-law Wu's blood-stained lips moved slightly, spit out these three words, and closed her eyes.
Ziluo was stunned, reached out and probed her snort, and there was indeed no breath.
"She's dead, go find Madame!"
"Dead?"
Jin He looked at the mothers-in-law around him, a little unwilling, "Didn't you say who the person behind it was?" She's dead, what about the young lady? β
As soon as she heard this, Ziluo knew that Jinhe hadn't heard these three words. She also hid it, and only followed her words and said, "I can't take care of it so much, isn't there still Mama Li in the Star Picking Pavilion?" Alright, go quickly."
Jin He nodded, and led the people straight to the Star Picking Pavilion.
In the garden, Ziluo looked at Sister-in-law Wu's corpse and secretly wondered, "The mastermind behind the scenes is actually Li Chenghai!" It seems that Rong Fu is being targeted by Li Chenghai. In addition to sending the fine work in, maybe there will be killers in the shadows! Didn't the 'Erhei' who hurt me stab the old couple to death in the house? He has no news now, I'm afraid he will be killed by others! Miss is really not safe here, and maybe something dangerous will happen in the future. I'd better take her back to Ta Guo, at least in Tengluo Village, she is safe! β
Thinking of this, Ziluo patted the medicine bottle in her arms and made up her mind!
In the Star Picking Pavilion, Nanxing was still lying on the bed, angry like a gossamer!
Mrs. Rong sat quietly beside her and kept holding her hand, not caring at all about Mama Li's trembling body.
Jin Li stood aside and served carefully.
And the sword spike in Mu Cui's hand knocked on the gourd pendant next to the bed for a while.
Mama Li knelt on the ground and shivered, her nervous back wet.
She kept thinking, what would she say if Sister-in-law Wu arrived? Will those people spare her and her son's lives?
Seeing the gourd falling here, the son must have suffered a lot. Her heart was in her throat,
"Jinli, go outside to see if Mu Bi is back?"
Nanxing's words broke the silence and tension.
Jinli nodded, got up and went to the platform.
As soon as she left the door of the boudoir, Jinhe hurried over.
"Is Madame still there? Sister-in-law Wu is dead, and Miss Ziluo is guarding it."
"What? He's dead? β
Jinli didn't expect it, so she pushed the door open first, "Madame is still there, hurry up, go in and say"
The sound of their words had reached the house, and Mama Li suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Mrs. Rong stood up, "What's the matter?" β
Jin He came in and looked at Mama Li while talking about what had happened.
"She said she hurt me twice?"
Nanxing also sat up suspiciously, frowning slightly, "Except for this time, there is another time?" Did you say when? β
"No, she didn't say a few words after she was stabbed, and she choked."
Jin He saluted slightly, "The slave maid and the purple lady keep asking who is behind her?" She didn't even say it."
"Mother, go over and take a look, I'm okay here," Nanxing moved and motioned to Mrs. Rong to rest assured. "Jinli, send off the lady. Let the violet come back too! β
"Then she," Jinli looked at Mama Li uneasily.
"With me, you go and come back quickly," Mu Cui was still shaking the sword spike, staring at Mama Li on the ground.
After Mrs. Rong left, Nanxing got out of bed lightly and walked slowly to Mama Li's side, "Now you have to think clearly!" Sister-in-law Wu didn't say a word and died. Maybe it'll be you next! If you say you'll probably be able to live,"
"Miss, you, what," Mama Li looked at her dumbfounded.
"She said she hurt me twice? Except for another time this time? Nanxing ignored her shock and asked directly to the subject.
"That time was when you went to Danxia Mountainγ"
Mama Li also understood Nanxing's intentions, her eyes were scattered and she smiled secretly, and spoke to herself, "Ten years ago, when Sister-in-law Wu first came to the mansion, the old slave often went to the big kitchen and became acquainted with it. I accidentally told her that you were going to Danxia Mountain to cultivate. Don't know how to live the rest of the day? She smiled and comforted me, inquired about your departure date and route, and said that she would make you something delicious to eat on the way! β
"Ten years ago?"
Nanxing suddenly realized that it was she who revealed her itinerary! "And then?"
"Later, the old slave thought that you were doing well in Danxia Mountain! I didn't know you met robbers on your way! β
Mama Li looked at her, her yellow eyes were filled with tears, "Until I saw you again in the pavilion that day, and I heard Jinli say that you were injured, the old slave knew that it was Sister-in-law Wu, and the old slave regretted it and ran to question Sister-in-law Wu, but she threatened the old slave that if the master and Mrs. knew about it, the old slave would not end well." She also asked me to find a chance to find out more about you! Because she suspects that you were transferred, the third lady was already dead. β
"That's why the old couple came?"
"Yes, the old slave was scared in his heart, knowing that the people behind Sister-in-law Wu couldn't afford to mess with him. I wanted to avoid them, but they gave my son medicine and asked me to drug you, if you don't listen to Sister-in-law Wu, my son's life will be gone.
"What are you crying about? Miss hasn't cried yet? You cry first," Mu Cui unhappily shook her with her sword.
"Shut up!"
Mama Li was frightened, raised her eyes to see Mu Cui choking and wiping her tears.
"Who is behind this?"
"The old slave really doesn't know who is behind it? The old slave only contacted Sister-in-law Wu, and now Sister-in-law Wu, then my son, "
She looked at Nanxing uneasily, "Please Miss spare my son's life!" The old slave is just such a child, if he has three long and two short, the old slave will not be able to live. β
"A person like you who betrayed his master still has the face to live?"
Mu Cui took over the conversation, "If it was in the palace, it would have been beaten to death with a stick!" Can you still live so long? β
As he spoke, Zi Luo, Jin Li, and Jin He came in.
"Miss, Madame has already reported to the official, and someone from Dali has taken away Sister-in-law Wu's body. As for her, the lady said that she would be closed for three days, and then sold to the slave market in the east of the city! Everything is at her disposal, and she orders Jinhe to come and bring people! β
"It's okay, it's safer for my mother to come forward." Nanxing waved his hand, regardless of Mama Li, who was crying and begging for mercy, motioned for Jinhe to take it away.
Ziluo glanced at her and didn't say who was behind it. only told Mu Bi to chase the murderer,
