Zhao Yanqing's hands were very warm, but the knife stuffed into my palm was extremely cold.

It's like my heart......

The cold penetrates to the bones, and the blood seals the throat.

Without hesitation, I raised my hand, the tip of the knife reaching his throat......

Hiss......

In an instant, blood surged, and the rich smell of blood spread in the air, and the blood-stained light-colored brocade robe was as gorgeous as an autumn red maple.

Zhao Yanqing clenched the blade, those dark phoenix eyes stared at me coldly, word by word, "Zhenniang, you are very ruthless." ”

"His Royal Highness King Rong, are you afraid of death?"

"Don't make jokes like this if you're afraid of death."

"After all, I'm going to take it seriously."

I hooked my lips, slowly loosened the blood-stained dagger, and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the blood from my skin.

Yes, I don't even think Zhao Yanqing's blood is dirty.

But he still thought about using bitter meat to trick me again and again, wanted me to soften my heart, and wanted me to feel sorry for him.

Obviously, this time, the result disappointed him again.

Inside the carriage, the atmosphere became cold again.

The blood in Zhao Yanqing's palms was bleeding so badly that he didn't have time to pay attention to me, so he only lowered his eyes and bandaged his wounds with a gloomy face.

After a while, until the blood stopped, he turned his head sideways again and called out to me, "Mingzhen, get off the carriage and accompany me to Xu Zhizen's house." ”

I frowned and said blankly, "Who is Xu Zhichan?" ”

Zhao Yanqing took my hand and explained in a deep voice as she stepped out of the carriage, "Xu Zhichan is the daughter-in-law of Yang Sanwang's family at the end of the village, that is, the woman who disappeared half a year ago in the file. ”

"She married to Qinghe Village three years ago, and after marrying, she worked in the county all the year round, and was introduced by someone to work as a maid for a wealthy family with her sister-in-law Yang Yunyun half a year ago."

Ten days later, Xu Zhichan disappeared, and Yang Yunyun returned to Qinghe Village alone, according to the official who handled the case at the time, Yang Yunyun was covered in scars and looked as if she had been abused by others. But when others asked, she insisted that she had fallen, and as for Xu Zhichan, she said that she had run away with someone. But according to the confession of the Xu family, it is said that the relationship between Xu Zhichan and Boss Yang is excellent, and after Xu Zhichan's accident, Boss Yang also went out to look for it, but there was no result. He also asked Yang Yunyun where they went to work? But Yang Yunyun kept silent, and Yang Sanwang and his wife were also tight-lipped. ”

"Now whenever an official messenger comes to inquire, Yang Sanwang's family is closed."

"So, Ah Zhen, I want to ......"

"Do you want me to probe Yang Yunyun's tone?"

Zhao Yanqing's words have already come to this point, no matter how stupid I am, I understand his intentions, nothing more than to let me, a close friend of Yang Yunyun's boudoir, trap her words.

It's just that I haven't been in contact with Yang Yunyun for a long time.

After thinking about it, I looked at Zhao Yanqing again.

"Zhao Yanqing, I haven't been in contact with Yang Yunyun for a long time, why I don't have contact with her, you also know......"

"Perhaps...... You might as well ask her. ”

I hooked my lips and looked at Zhao Yanqing, and said with some sarcasm.

Zhao Yanqing was slightly stunned, a touch of unnaturalness flashed in her eyes, and she explained urgently, "Mingzhen, I have never liked her......"

"But she likes you."

"For your sake, she even didn't hesitate to turn her face with me, a close friend."

I slowly broke Zhao Yanqing's hand, and returned calmly and indifferently, "And Zhao Yanqing, if you have anything with her, there is no need to explain it to me." ”

"Okay, you go, I won't follow you, I'll wait for you here."

With that, I simply went back to the carriage.

Zhao Yanqing stood outside, opened his mouth, seemed to want to say something, and finally closed his lips again.

I only told the coachman to take care of me, and then walked in the direction of Yang Yunyun's house with some New Year's goods.

I'm not worried that Zhao Yanqing will show his feet, after all, Yang Yunyun used to like him very much, if he is willing to coax her, he will naturally get the clues he wants soon.

This time, though, I miscalculated.

About half an hour later, Zhao Yanqing came back.

came with him, as well as Yang Yunyun.

But at this moment, when Yang Yunyun looked at Zhao Yanqing, she was no longer as enthusiastic as in the past, and her face, which was once beautiful and sunny, was now very haggard and languishing, and her eyes were even more cringe.

Seeing me, she dodged her eyes slightly, and called me with a smile, "Mingzhen, long time no see." ”

I gave her a cold look and ignored her.

Yang Yunyun's face froze, and she looked at Zhao Yanqing with some embarrassment, "Zhao Xianggong, why don't you ...... I'm not going. ”

"It's okay, the real mother is not so stingy."

Zhao Yanqing replied to her lightly, stretched out her hand to take me into her arms, looked at Yang Yunyun, looked at me again, and said, "Zhenniang, something happened to Yang Yunyun's eldest brother, and now the family is in urgent need of money, I plan to let her go to our house to be a maidservant, you won't mind, right?" ”

"Since the master has decided, he asked me what to do?"

I pulled his hand away and leaned sideways against the wall of the car with my eyes closed.

I really don't want to deal with Yang Yunyun, and I don't want to deal with Zhao Yanqing.

Zhao Yanqing saw that I didn't want to speak, so she didn't ask more.

only Wen Sheng told the groom to drive to my father's cemetery, and after going to my father's grave, he led Yang Yunyun back to Chunfeng Lane.

When I returned to Chunfeng Lane, it was already evening.

After settling Yang Yunyun and having dinner, Zhao Yanqing came to my room again.

said that Yang Yunyun is in the house now, and if he sleeps separately from me, he will be exposed.

I didn't refute, but took the futon out of the box, laid the floor for him, and lay down on the bed.

However, as soon as I lay down, Zhao Yanqing put away the mattress on the ground again.

I frowned at him, vigilant, and couldn't help but wonder, "Zhao Yanqing, what are you doing with the mattress?" Are you going to sleep on the ground? ”

"Zhenniang, have you forgotten something?"

Zhao Yanqing sat down on the side of the bed, looked at me with a smile on her eyebrows, slowly untied her belt, and said, "The answer you want to give me before tonight, Ah Zhen, have you forgotten?" ”
