Chapter 10 Mandarin Duck 10 Green Willow
"Why is my sister here?"
Xu Zhenzhen was also surprised to see us rushing in from the outside, and we told her about Green Willow succinctly, but Chen Lingdang chose to hide the part about "Green Willow may be an accomplice". Because all this is just speculation, but once this speculation is spoken, Green Willow will definitely be kicked out of the Xu family, and may even be imprisoned.
Green willow can be regarded as comfortable in Xu Zhenzhen's courtyard, she has a separate room to rest in as an ordinary maid, I don't know if it is because of Xu Yinan, the second young master of the Xu family.
Chen Lingzhong still knocked on the door very politely, and it was the gentle female voice that responded to her.
"Please come in"
Green Willow got up to greet her, and on the small table was a picture of a mandarin duck being embroidered, it seemed that someone had disturbed her, and the mandarin duck's eyes were half embroidered.
"Say hello to the eldest lady."
"Sit down."
Xu Ximiao pulled Chen Lingdang and sat down naturally, but the green willow looked unexpectedly restrained.
"Green Willow girl, we came to you this time for the 'haunting' of the house."
"'Haunted'?"
"Yes, if it weren't for the investigation, we wouldn't have come to find you, you must know the person who is pretending to be a ghost behind the scenes, right?"
The green willow figure was stunned, and he wrung the side of the handkerchief in his hand uncomfortably.
"Bell girl, I don't know what you're talking about, I'm worried about the haunting, but I really don't know what the hell is going on."
"Miss Green Willow, you like the second young master very much, the mandarin duck picture you are embroidering...... It was given to him, right? ”
Chen Lingdang watched Lu Liu hide the veil behind her, Mrs. Xu didn't want Lu Liu to have any more intersections with her second son, if Mrs. Xu knew that Lu Liu embroidered a veil for Xu Yinan, she would still be kicked out of the house.
"You're mistaken, this is the ...... I embroidered for myself"
"You don't have to be nervous, we won't say it, and if you cooperate with us, the eldest lady will help you transfer back to the second young master's courtyard."
Xu Ximiao was drinking tea, she was originally the "tiger" of "Fox Fake Tiger Might", and the sudden promise made her choke on water, and when she looked up, she saw that Chen Lingdang was desperately trying her eyes again.
"Ahem, ah...... Yes, you also know that my third brother is going to get married in the next few days, and the entourage list is up to me, I can let you mix in the list, and just follow Xu Yinan when the time comes. ”
Lu Liu thought about it, but she might still feel that something was wrong, and her expression was a little hesitant, so Chen Lingdang took the opportunity to give her a dose of fierce medicine.
"You don't have to worry that Madame will disagree, when the time comes, the Third Young Master will directly set the list, you also know that Madame has always loved her children, not to mention that she doesn't want to make the Third Young Master unhappy on the big day, so this must be no problem, you don't want to stay here for the rest of your life to watch the Second Young Master marry a wife and have children."
"As long as the second young master is happy, I will be happy, originally we have different identities, it is already my luck to be favored by him, and Green Willow does not dare to ask for more."
"But, my second brother likes you, he asked me more than once to help him get you back, finally have a chance, do you want to give up?"
A woman like Green Willow, who is deeply imprisoned in her feelings, is easily moved by a man's slight actions, and then takes a big step, Xu Ximiao is sure of the illusion in Green Willow's heart.
"Really, really?"
"Of course, the eldest lady has sent a message to help you, as long as you answer our questions."
Midori Willow gritted her teeth, but finally let go of her clenched hand.
"Good...... I think you all know what happened in the courtyard before the 'haunted' of the eldest young master's courtyard, and the girl who lost her life had a good relationship with me before her death, and took care of me like my sister. ”
"Her surname is Yang, right, her name is Yang Qing."
"How do you know...... Also, how could you find me if I couldn't find this? ”
"So Yang Qing's death has something to do with Xu Huaishang, no, the eldest young master, right. The child in her belly is the eldest young master's? ”
"Yes, Sister Yang Qing and I were maids in the eldest young master's courtyard at the beginning, she came earlier than me, and she was also very beautiful, and the eldest young master always wanted to possess her. That time, the eldest young master invited a friend to let Yang Qing's sister accompany the guests, and a group of people drunk her, so that the eldest young master had a chance. Sister Yang Qing committed suicide after waking up, and the eldest young master lied to her that she would be promoted as a concubine in order to calm the matter, but the results were all fake. ”
The green willow choked and lowered her eyes to look at the ground, as if recalling the past.
"Therefore, Xu Huaishang kept deceiving Yang Qing until the child in Yang Qing's belly couldn't hide it and wanted Xu Huaishang to fulfill his promise, but he found out that he was deceived so he committed suicide."
"Yes, the next day, the lord and Steward Wang warned their subordinates not to spread the matter, but the Yang family still knew about it, so they went to report to the official and wanted to get justice for their daughter, but how could the poor sue the Xu family......"
This Chen Lingdang's guess is basically in line, that is, because his daughter died unjustly, and the officials and businessmen colluded to get justice for their daughter, so when they thought of pretending to be a ghost, they should have wanted to take the opportunity to kill Xu Huaishang.
But a large group of people who would be provoked by a little movement in the courtyard, anger ignited reason, and the Yang family killed the servants who kept vigil, constantly deepening the panic in the Xu Mansion, so that Xu Huaishang was constantly stimulated and scared to death.
"Because you have a good relationship with Yang Qing, the Yang family didn't hurt you, did they? Now that Yang Qing's father Yang Zhihan has also passed away, who is the last remaining member of the Yang family? ”
Lu Liu opened his mouth but still didn't say the name of that person, Xu Ximiao felt that this person was too ink, and slapped the table with a "bang".
"Luliu, don't forget, you are the maid of the Xu family, I asked you in a good voice is already the most gentle way, if you recruit from the truth, the second young master and your affairs will be settled, otherwise...... The yamen is your destination. ”
"Yes, Miss Green Willow, this matter involves several lives, and even I almost lost my life, if you still help that person, you are the biggest accomplice, I don't think you want to be entangled by tragic deaths in your dreams every night, besides, the second young master is still waiting to stay with you."
With a tacit understanding of red and white, Lu Liu's face immediately turned white, and she fell to her knees and begged Xu Ximiao not to send her into the yamen, and her tears were so pitiful that she didn't feel pity.
"That person is Yang Shuo, and he is Xigui."
Maybe he was scared, or maybe he betrayed the Yang family, the green willow howled and cried, Chen Lingzhong looked at the poor person in front of him, and reached out to help her sit back on the stool.
"Do you know where he's gone now?"
Green Willow shook his head, just like the Yang family's most popular rattle. Speaking of which, I've seen Xigui's figure in the past two days, and it seems that he has escaped.
"Do you know how he was able to fly into the sky?"
"It seems to be with a rope, and I saw it once, and he knocked me unconscious, and when I woke up, I was surrounded by people...... I didn't know they were going to kill anyone! ”
Green Willow sobbed and wiped her tears, frowning and drawing the length of the rope with her hands. Chen Ling suddenly thought of the Yang family's utility room, the platform that looked very familiar, and she remembered what it was.
"Shadow Puppet ......"
"Shadow puppetry?"
Xu Ximiao looked at the girl next to her in confusion, what does this have to do with shadow puppetry?
Chen Lingdang sighed and replied: "I went to Yang's house to see it, and they have a shadow puppet stage at home, which should have been used to make a living, so it is possible to make a rope that can support people, and anything is possible in this world...... Didn't you discover that the moon of this world is only a full moon? ”
When Chen Lingzhong said this, Xu Ximiao instantly felt creepy, and the abnormality of this world became more and more obvious.
"Miss, can I really go back to the second young master?"
is really an infatuated woman, Xu Ximiao couldn't understand why the woman in front of her was so affectionate to her cowardly brother.
"Really, but ...... Why do you like my second brother so much? ”
Lu Liu tidied up his appearance, looked at Xu Ximiao's eyes sincerely and said: "The eldest young master beat and scolded me before, it was the second young master who rescued me, he treated me very well, and I understood what it feels like to 'care' from him." ”
got a positive answer, Luliu's state was much better, Chen Lingzhong and Xu Ximiao also got the answers they wanted, and the two of them returned to the hospital to review.
"It seems that we have to catch Xigui, if we don't catch him, there will be changes every day, and his mission will definitely affect our mission."
Chen Lingdang pounded her calf and said, Xu Ximiao held her face and didn't know what she was thinking.
"Perhaps, but where can he escape......"
Just when the two of them were too weak because of exhaustion, Jinxiu stumbled in.
"Miss, it's no good, there are dead people in our house again!"
"What!"
Chen Lingzhong and Xu Ximiao said in unison, could it be that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Xigui came back to kill people so soon?
"Our groom Lu Youcai was wiped and died in the stable, and the master has already sent someone to the yamen! Why is our house so unpeaceful, miss...... Do you think it's really a soul asking for your life? ”
The more Jin Xiu spoke, the more frightened she became, and her originally delicate face became distorted.
"Where did the unjust soul come from in broad daylight, be careful when you speak, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!"
Jinxiu immediately covered her mouth after hearing this, and stood obediently beside Xu Ximiao.
Chen Ling's head was buzzing now, Xigui's whereabouts were unknown, Lu Youcai was killed, and she felt that there was a pair of invisible hands behind her that would choke her neck at any time.
"I'll take a look."
Chen Ling ran to the stable without looking back, could it be Xu Jinxiang, if it was really him, wouldn't the rest of the people have to kill each other!
