Chapter 7: The Uninvited Guest
Looking up again, the woman in front of her was wearing a peach pink spring shirt, with thin eyebrows and big eyes on her face as round as a silver plate.
It is the fourth lady of the Liang Mansion and her cousin, Liang Jiao.
Liang Jiao stepped forward and snatched the embroidery from behind her with a smile, "Don't hide it, I have seen you as a female celebrity here, who in this house doesn't know that you have always disliked these, it is really strange today!" ”
Liang Wan couldn't grab it, only her face was hot, and she saluted Zhang, "Second aunt." ”
Zhang was not as curious as Liang Jiao to look at the embroidery, but walked straight to her, "Why is it better, just run here to sit and blow the wind, and do such a troublesome thing?" ”
Liang Wan lowered her head and did not answer.
"Sister, why don't you look like you use this bag for yourself?" Liang Jiao raised the purse in her hand and quipped, "You can be careful, don't let the eldest aunt see it, otherwise you will suffer!" ”
Liang Wan's expression froze.
"Auntie!"
Zhang glanced at Liang Jiao, took Liang Wan's hand, and sat down with her, "You tell your aunt the truth, is this bag for Da Sima?" ”
Liang Wan nodded slowly, and explained with a red face, "Auntie, don't get me wrong, what my uncle taught me that day was that people saved my life, and I always had to talk about my heart, and I had nothing to do, so I could only make an object with my own hands to show my gratitude." ”
Zhang Shi looked at her for a long time and said with a smile, "It's naturally good that you can think like this, but," she said, "Ago, your uncle visited Da Sima from the Taishi Mansion, guess what?" ”
"How?" Liang Wan beat a drum in her heart, Lu Xiu's person was not easy to get along with at all, he ran to the door so unknowingly, and it was light if he didn't give a good face, thinking of his appearance in the previous life when he killed people without blinking-
"He's not here!"
Liang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't see it, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to continue this play, I'm afraid Lu Xiu wouldn't spare her.
Zhang Shi said, "But although the others are not there, your uncle has heard a news-"
"Lady-"
Zhang was halfway through speaking, and Chun'er hurriedly ran over.
What he was about to say was interrupted, Zhang's face was displeased, and then he looked at Chun'er's shouting appearance, and his good temper also brought three points of anger, "What is so anxious?" ”
Chun'er gasped and hurriedly bowed, "Second lady, it was the slave maid who was reckless, but the head of the house said that the people from Dali Temple were here and had something to ask the third lady, so the slave maid was in a hurry." ”
"Dali Temple?"
Zhang and Liang Jiao were taken aback and looked at Liang Wan in surprise.
Liang Wan's heart sank, and she forced herself to calm down, "What did you say for?" ”
Chun'er shook her head, her face was extremely unnatural, "The head of the family didn't say it explicitly, so the lady should go and see it herself." ”
Liang Wan stopped talking nonsense, she didn't believe that Zhang Shi was dead, Chun'er didn't know!
I thought that this matter could be revealed like this, but it seems that it is still simple, but there is no Lu Xiu to relieve her today, what should I do?
Liang Wan was apprehensive, but she didn't dare to mess with her steps.
When I arrived in the front hall, I saw Liang Cheng and the people of Dali Temple sitting and drinking tea.
Seeing Liang Wan, Liang Cheng put down the teacup, and his tone was particularly serious, "This is Chen Sizheng of Dali Temple." ”
In addition to Chen Sizheng, there were two other people who came with him, who had met that night.
Liang Wan approached and saluted, "Hello adults!" ”
Chen Sizheng turned his head and asked the people who came with him, "Did you see her that night?" ”
No surprise, the two nodded in unison, "Yes." ”
Chen Sizheng glanced at Liang Cheng, "Liang Zuocheng can allow me to say a few words to the little lady in the house." ”
His tone was polite and detached, and there was no room for negotiation in his tone.
Dali Temple has its own set of rules for the trial, even if Liang Cheng is full of doubts, it is not good to insist on staying, so he can only avoid it according to his words, but there is a warning in his eyes before leaving.
Liang Wan didn't respond, lowered her eyes to calm the panic in her heart, "I don't know what Chen Si is looking for me?" ”
Chen Sizheng looked at her seriously, and there was no fierce look on his slightly chubby face, "I heard that the little lady appeared near Dongshi that night?" ”
The Tongle Hall is in front of the East Market.
Liang Wan nodded calmly, "Yes, I also met with these two adults that night. ”
Chen Sizheng bowed slightly, and asked again, "Have you heard that the Chinese scholar was killed in the Tongle Hall?" ”
Although his face was calm, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he was constantly watching her.
Liang Wan instinctively shook her head, and suddenly, she paused, hesitating slightly, "May I ask if it is the surname, is the adult surnamed Zhang?" ”
"What, the little lady knows?"
"I don't know it, but I heard Da Sima's attendant mention it that night."
"Oh-" Chen Sizheng tilted his head and thought for a moment, "What did you say?" ”
"It's just that there is an adult surnamed Zhang who is gone in the Tongle Hall."
Chen Sizheng wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Can I take the liberty of asking, has the little lady been with Da Sima all the time that day?" ”
Liang Wan waved her hand and denied, "No, I was only with him later." ”
Chen Sizheng's brows did not slacken, "The little lady said that she didn't know the Zhongshu waiter, but why did the entourage of the Zhongshu waiter say that she had seen the little lady?" ”
Liang Wan's heart tightened, even though Zhang Shi was dead, the people who tied her up were all alive, and they had seen themselves.
Chen Sizheng and the others didn't miss the stiffness on her face.
"It seems that the little lady has something to hide from us."
"I really don't know him, it's just-"
Liang Wan looked embarrassed and hesitated, "May I ask about this matter, have you ever asked Da Sima?" ”
Chen Sizheng and the others froze, "No." ”
Liang Wan suddenly understood a little in her heart, they thought that they had listened to Zhang Shi's words and were suspicious of themselves, but they could only come over and ask one or two questions because of Lu Xiu. After all, Lu Xiu's maintenance of himself that night was obvious.
However, maintenance alone is not enough.
Liang Wan sighed lightly, "On that day, I had an appointment with Da Sima, but I didn't know that I met a villain halfway, but fortunately, Da Sima came in time." ”
"Bad guys? Do you mean Lord Zhang? ”
Liang Wan hurriedly shook her head, "I don't know Lord Zhang, I just think it's an ordinary villain, and I'm not sure of his identity until now, but just now the adult said that Lord Zhang's entourage has seen me, so just think about it."
I was frightened at that time, and Da Sima didn't say anything about anything other than helping me out of the siege, so I couldn't ask questions. And now, it's even harder to say. ”
There was shyness and helplessness on her face.
Chen Sizheng looked at it in his eyes and said, "I understand what you mean, but the lady doesn't seem to have informed Liang Zuocheng of these things, and there are even discrepancies with his statement." ”
Liang Wan's heart was beating hard, it seemed that he had already asked Liang Cheng about her whereabouts that night.
"Head of House—"
As he was talking, he didn't want someone to step in with a group of people at the door.
