Chapter Seventy-Six: Preemptive Strike

Crash!

"Slut! She's a thing, but she is just an inferior slave and maid, and she dares to speak in front of me! Does she think that everything will be fine if she brings out the second young master and Lin Qingwan?

In the middle of Showa Sai, there was a crisp sound of porcelain breaking from inside the closed door.

Lu Zhao suffered such a meal from Tongque in Showa Zhai today, and after coming back, he drove away all the subordinates directly, leaving Tsing Yi alone in the room, smashing one exquisite antique vase table ornament after another.

Tsing Yi stood in the corner with his eyebrows lowered and his head almost buried in his chest, trembling and waiting for Lu Zhao to finish venting.

The arm that had just been scratched was still aching faintly, and at this juncture, for fear of causing trouble, Lu Zhao sprinkled his anger on his body, so he didn't dare to say a word, and he didn't dare to look up, wishing that he could be invisible.

As soon as Tsing Yi thought so, a carved graphite inkstone fell straight towards her.

"What are you doing there! Don't you pack it up, are you still waiting for others to see it and talk nonsense!"

The inkstone smashed on the instep of her foot, and the pain in her heart made Tsing Yi's eyes instantly clouded with mist, and she glanced at Lu Zhao timidly.

It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw it, it calmed down a lot of Lu Zhao's anger, and he rushed up again, and he stepped forward and stretched out his hand and twisted it twice on the wound of Tsing Yi's arm:

"What are you crying for! Did I beat you or scold you, who can I show you with such an aggrieved expression! The big girl next to that slut has suffered such a big grievance for me, and you, as my big girl, can't even let out a fart! I can't kill the bronze sparrow, but your life is in my hands!"

"Madame! Madame spares her life! Tsing Yi has always been loyal to Madame, and the slave maid and the slave maid are also wronged for Madame! The slave and maid think that you are a dignified princess of a country, and you really can't be angry for an inconspicuous girl like Tongque, isn't this too exalting her. ”

After Lu Zhao's angry words were so frightened, Tsing Yi's face instantly turned half blue, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and dragged Lu Zhao's skirt and kept begging for mercy and flattery.

Listening to Tsing Yi's flattery, Lu Zhao was a little relieved, but he didn't let her get up.

She has heard a lot of flattery as a princess, except for the ear, it is of no substantive use, Lu Zhao is waiting for Tsing Yi to say something different, if it is just a way to go back and forth, there are many such people, and there is a lot less than her.

Tsing Yi saw that Lu Zhao had enough temper and took a sip of the tea on the table, without looking at her or opening his mouth, thinking about it, he probably guessed seven or eight points, so he knelt up straight and whispered: "Actually, today is not completely without gain." ”

"Oh? Lu Zhao raised his eyebrows.

"Madame, you think, the bronze finch said that the young lady was unwell and fell asleep, but Madam, you reprimanded the maidservant outside the door and broke the dishes, even if the young lady fell asleep, it would have been noisy early in the morning, why there would have been no movement in the house, there must be something strange in it. Tsing Yi whispered.

Lu Zhao pondered for a moment, helped Tsing Yi to get her up, and his face eased a lot: "You go, go and keep an eye on Lin Qingwan, and report to me as soon as there is any movement." ”

After Tsing Yi took the order to withdraw, he found that he was already in a cold sweat behind him.

At this time, in the main hall of the Chu Mansion, the lord and the lady sat on the main seat with their eyebrows furrowed, and the lord slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "What are you talking about?

The bronze finch knelt on the ground, bowed his head and was silent, very self-reproachful.

She has already told everything she knows, in fact, she doesn't know much, when and how the young lady didn't see it, what she did before she didn't see it, and what was abnormal before she didn't see it, she couldn't eat any of them, so that now she doesn't know anything about the old lady's questioning.

"How the hell are you serving the second young lady, you don't know anything when such a big living person is gone!" the lady rubbed her temples irritably.

"It's the slave and maid who failed to take care of the second young lady, how the old lady wants to punish the slave and the slave and the maid will not complain, I just ask the old lady to keep the slave and the maid breathe, so that the slave and the maid can see the second young lady return safely. The bronze finch kept crying with his head.

The old man waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to see such a crying scene again, and said sharply: "Go! Go to the hall and kneel down to reflect on it! When the second young lady comes back, I will deal with it again." The bronze finch kowtowed deeply.

This kind of punishment is already very gracious to the old man, who is the son of the young lady.

"Lin Qingwan is gone?

Tsing Yi, who came back to restore his life, attached himself to Lu Zhao's ear and whispered for a while, and then Lu Zhao was overjoyed, swept away the previous haze and hurried to the main hall with Tsing Yi.

The young lady disappeared late at night and did not return for a day, how could such a happy thing be missed.

Lu Zhao walked so eagerly that he didn't see Chu Ziyi walking towards him not far away, and he bumped into him at the corner under the corridor without paying attention.

"What's wrong with the princess, why are you in such a hurry?" straightened Lu Zhao, Chu Ziyi couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

This princess is not to mention before, even if she married into the Chu Mansion, she has been the most upright on weekdays, and it is really rare to be in a hurry like this without even looking at the road.

"It's rude. ”

said sorry in his mouth, but he still looked unashamed on his face.

Lu Zhao unhurriedly straightened out his slightly messy clothes before he spoke: "Presumably the eldest brother has just returned home, no wonder the eldest brother doesn't know yet, I heard that Lin Qingwan is missing, and the old lady is furious in the main hall." ”

Lu Zhao was a little surprised, such a big thing, as the eldest young master of the Chu Mansion, he didn't receive a little rumor, and the tone of yin and yang between the words made Chu Ziyi unconsciously darken his expression.

"Missing?"

Chu Ziyi was surprised for a moment, and then as if he thought of something, he turned around and went in the direction of the study without even saying hello.

Lu Zhao looked at the figure he left and sneered.

She and Lin Qinghuan are both his younger brothers-in-law, Lin Qinghuan is just a down-and-out young lady of the Lin family who is not taken seriously, her father does not love her mother, and she is indeed the most noble princess of Dongjiaguo, and she is treated by hundreds of officials.

But when they arrived in Chu Mansion, this treatment was really different, I really don't know what they all did to Lin Qingwan, a little slut.

Lin Qingwan was punished for missing Tongque, Lu Zhao was in a hurry to go to the main hall to see the joke, but Chu Ziyi vaguely guessed the trick and invited the subordinates of the dark department to interrogate carefully.

Sure enough, Lin Qingwan happened to bump into some secret things last night, and these things have always been directly destroyed when they are discovered, but no one expected that one day they would be bumped into by the second young lady.

The people in the dark department had no choice but to detain him first and then make plans, so there was the situation of the second young lady missing today.

"You guys are really ......" Chu Ziyi flicked his wide sleeves suddenly, pointed to the subordinates and wanted to count a few words, but the words came to his lips and thought about it.

I really didn't know how to say it, so I could only sigh dejectedly: "Forget it, you guys go down." ”

Everyone in the dark department looked at each other and was a little confused, the eldest young master had such an attitude, so did they do this right or wrong?

"Wait!" Chu Ziyi suddenly spoke, and the dark part turned around and lowered his head to listen to the order.

After a long time, when everyone began to suspect that the 'wait' was not their auditory hallucination, Chu Ziyi seemed to have made a difficult decision, and said softly: "The food and drink are all compared to those in the house, don't treat the young lady badly." ”

Rubbing his slightly swollen temples, Chu Ziyi thought about how to end this matter after it became known to everyone, if Lin Qingwan had been 'missing' for a long time, it would be even more difficult for his father and mother to track it down.

At least he can't think of any foolproof way to explain this matter now, and it seems that he can only wait for Chu Fuyan to come back, or should he immediately repair a book and send it to him quickly, so that he can be mentally prepared to deal with this farce?

"This ......" As soon as Chu Ziyi's words came out, everyone in the dark department was even more puzzled.

After all, a dungeon is a dungeon, and if you have food to eat and a bed to sleep in, it is all good treatment.

and according to the house...... Wouldn't that be to move all the dwellings to the dungeon?

"What's the matter?, is it difficult?" Chu Ziyi's sharp eyes swept over the subordinates present.

"The subordinates don't dare. The dark part immediately bowed down and said.

There are only obedience and loyalty in the shadows, and there are some things that I want to think about, but I can only obey the orders of my master and not question them.

"Then go about it immediately, if the young lady has the slightest injury in the dungeon, you can come and see you!" Chu Ziyi said casually, but the listener could understand the murderous aura hidden between the lines.

Said respectfully: "Obey the master's orders, and my subordinates will do it immediately." ”

So, the dungeon guards not only served a table of delicacies to Lin Qingwan, who was still imprisoned in the dungeon at a loss, but also exaggeratedly brought a piece of gold velvet weaving flowers, which made Lin Qingwan dumbfounded.

She probably has the most comfortable time in prison ever.

But the guards who were busy with her in and out treated her as nothing, and no matter what she said or asked, none of them opened their mouths to say a word to her.

Even if she tried to run out when they opened the cell door, they indifferently put her back up, without squinting or saying a word.

But so what?

Some things are just trying to cover up and deceive herself, does Chu Fuyan really think that she Lin Qingwan is a fool!

The reason why she can get such treatment in the dungeon is nothing more than because she is the young lady of Chu Mansion, because Chu Fuyan still has some 'husband and wife friendship' for her, or because she and Chu Fuyan still have a little bit of use value.

But this also confirmed her guess even more, what Chu Fuyan was planning, this is the secret of Chu Mansion, or this is Chu Fuyan's secret at all!
