Chapter 49: The raging "fire"
Mu Qingchen sat on the bed in a daze. The sun was shining outside, and the voices of her family members were faint. She opened the window to dissipate the residual medicinal smell.
How did you fall asleep last night? When did Jiang Huiying leave? However, it was a night without nightmares.
When I got up and dressed, I looked at the haggard face in the mirror, and suddenly my face felt hot. Yesterday's self was too complacent, which made everyone so worried.
Just go out and apologize.
The man just walked out of the door, and suddenly a silvery white flashed in front of his eyes, and the long sword stabbed into the wall against his cheek.
Jiang
Huiying withdrew his arm: "I started practicing swordsmanship today" "..." Mu Qingchen became weak in an instant: "I think I'd better wait..."
Jiang Huiying stared calmly, Mu Qingchen swallowed the words behind, holding the sword and learning to keep it around his waist , Yan Rongnian came over and patted her shoulder: "Resilience is good." The
shoulder involved the arm, the arm affected the wrist, and finally the long sword, which was in a difficult position, fell to the ground.
"..." Mu Qingchen gritted his teeth fiercely.
Yan Rongnian: "Ahhh! You hit me! You actually hit me!" When he quarreled, he was extraordinarily unpretentious.
Jiang Huiying taught her a simple set of swordsmanship. Mu Qingchen had never been exposed to these things before, so he learned nondescript. Moreover, whenever he concentrated on following Jiang Huiying's movements, he always received a blazing and aggrieved gaze.
Jiang Huiying instructed her to familiarize herself with the moves and practice by herself, then turned around and threw Yan Rongnian down the mountain.
After a beautiful morning and breakfast, Mu Qingchen and Jiang Huiying went down the mountain together, deliberately ignoring the resentment behind him like a thorn.
Like the clear mountain with silently every day, Yan Yung read smile back away, then shouted: "It's a pair of small heartless"
a carrier pigeon flying over the sea through the mountain trees, fluttering wings fall in the palm of your hand, lift the shackles of shabu between claw Swish fly away.
He walked to a dark place and opened the letter, which was densely packed with small lines.
"This city of Qian'an... is about to change..." The scraps of paper that were broken into powder melted into the wind and fell into the abyss.
┅┅┅ Mu
Qingchen and Jiang Huiying were walking on the street. Today is different from the past. The door of the house was closed. Wei Lao and Zhong Qin took them into the house and closed the door.
"Qian'an City died last night," Zhong Qin said.
"The city guards died, and a beater also died! The princess and the lord try to go down the mountain as little as possible, the subordinates don't think it's easy!"
Wei Lao doubted: "Calculate the time, Young Master Rong was supposed to come to buy yesterday, but has not yet Appearing, and the jade pendant...it's really disturbing." He worriedly said: "Last night I vaguely saw a fire in that direction, and it disappeared quickly. Could it be that something happened to the Rong family?"
Jiang Hui said lightly: "The Rong family and you. What are you doing?"
Wei Lao was choked and speechless, and he was slow to realize that something was wrong, Young Master Jiang seemed to be in conflict with Rong Yue, could it be that he had an old grudge?
Zhong Qin said: "Last night I heard the sound of fighting, and I was watching secretly from the crack of the door. Two pairs of men and horses were fighting each other. One of them has good martial arts and a familiar figure, while the other seems to be from the palace.
" "
Their martial arts skills are exactly the same as mine, but if you look closely, it's not exactly the same. I was one of the emperor's secret guards, and those people, like they couldn't learn by stealing, tried their best to imitate them. The killer move is definitely not from the same source as me. Someone in the palace stealthily learned the secret guard move, so who came to Qian'an to kill?"
No matter who it is, who steals the move and uses the move to kill, there is no difference, and the other party must be the emperor People around you!
Jiang Hui said, "Nothing has happened in Kyoto recently. If you insist,
it's Concubine Rong's return home."
"However, she entered the door that day and left in disguise late at night."
Zhong Qin: "This..." What does this have
to do with Qian'an City?
The topic didn't continue, and several people were in a fog. Mu Qingchen promised to stay on the mountain peacefully after finishing the work of the Mo family, and then went to the Mo family with Jiang Huiying.
"You can't use violence there" Mu Qingchen was worried that Jiang Huiying couldn't help but act directly with the attitude of the Mo family.
"You have to figure out how she wants to kill people with a knife. Soldiers come to block them, and don't make troubles."
Qian'an City is at a time of panic, not to mention the arrival of the palace, they must be careful not to attract attention.
Both of them understood the reason, and walked into the compound under the welcome of the servants.
The maids brought refreshments and prepared everything. The eldest lady walked over in a hurry. Seeing Jiang Huiying, she asked in confusion, "This..."
Mu Qingchen explained, "This is my master, and it is inconvenient to see anyone with an injury on his face. Please forgive me."
Since she is a master, she must have the same ability as Boss Mu, she complimented a few words, looked at Jiang Huiying's long sword and paused for a few breaths, left gently, and in a low voice outside the door ordered the waiting maid: "Go and do it. "
Yes, Mrs."
At noon, the maids brought lunch, Mu Qingchen and Jiang Huiying ate something casually, and continued to paint. Suddenly, there were several screams near the compound.
"Ah ah ah! Dead people!"
Mo's house suddenly became restless, people from all walks of life gathered by the pond, Mu Qingchen went to see it, and heard a voice saying there: "I heard that the Rong family was attacked last night, and today is Mo's turn. Family?"
Someone asked, "Can it be the same? The Rong family murdered Master Rong, we are just a little maid, eh? Isn't this the maid Chunlan that the Ninth Lady brought into the mansion?" The
woman said sharply: "Yoyoyo, I finally managed to climb up to Mo's house, and I died after a few good days."
An old voice said: "The trauma on the body is not drowning, but here, the murderer is active nearby, here is close to the compound, is there anything inside? Didn't hear any movement? The compound has recently entered a stranger, right?" The
discussion fell, and a group of people picked up the body and carried it away: "Go! Send it to the main compound!"
Mu Qingchen looked for the owner of the fire-fighting remarks, and saw that it was the housekeeper Mo who tried to hurt Wei Lao.
With a sneer in his eyes, he went back to the hospital with Jiang Huiying and locked the door.
After the huge red box where the materials were piled up, one person walked out, and Mrs. Jiu knelt down with red eyes holding the child.
"I'll tell you everything, please save my child!" The
ninth lady was originally a brothel performer who didn't sell herself. Infant, being brought into the mansion, Mr. Mo said he was happy, and he must make a big deal.
Her peaceful days were ruined the day after she stepped into the mansion: "In that night, the nanny's house was temporarily away, I went to change Xing'er's new clothes, and outside the door I saw the eldest lady standing by the cradle without saying a word, with that look in her eyes. It 's like an ice-cold poisonous snake!" The
ninth lady still trembled when she thought of it: "I don't dare to leave Xing'er for half a step. I heard that the baby of the Mo family died prematurely, and some people often cast sympathetic eyes, and I understood that she wanted to hurt me. Son!"
"Yesterday, the police sent you papers in secret. I wanted to warn you, but I had no choice but to save myself, but last night Chunlan disappeared and was a guest in the Grand Lady's Courtyard. The words meant something, I didn't dare to do anything, I was afraid. I set myself on fire, but... today Chunlan died!"
She cried, "Chunlan and I have been like sisters for many years, she killed her, she wanted to frame you, she wanted to use this full moon feast to kill everyone! Please! You save my child! I can die, but Qiu Xing'er has a chance!"
Madam Jiu begged, "Young Master, Miss, can you help me?"
Mu Qingchen figured out what was going on and asked her to get up, child It's not a full moon yet, so don't get cold, and comforted: "You go back first, if someone asks you to go to the main courtyard, bring your child with you." The
ninth lady went home anxiously, and it didn't take long for someone to come to the courtyard.
"Ninth Madam, Master Mo has an invitation." The man didn't mean to be respectful.
In the courtyard, Mu Qingchen heard the sound of kicking the door, put down the paintbrush, put away the drawing paper, and turned around in confusion after hearing that there was no movement behind him.
The servant with a bad attitude shivered in front of Jiang Huiying, his neck pressed against the sword, and he could end his life with a little force.
"Master, don't scare him," she said insincerely, Jiang Huiying glared gloomily at the next man, and drew his sword into the sheath.
The servant shook his body and stammered: "Big, big, madam please..."
She was about to start moving, the two of them looked at each other and followed.
In the main courtyard, Mr. Mo looked unhappy, and the eldest lady sat beside her, with several wealthy women sitting beside her.
Mrs. Jiu stood next to Chunlan's body with her child in her arms and silently wiped her tears. The people above all looked coldly next to her, and her beloved calmly said that she would buy a new maid, condolences and sympathy.
Thousands of words are stuck in her heart, can a single sentence of sympathy and sympathy be solvable in her heart? She lowered her head, her pupils gradually turning red.
The sharp-looking young and beautiful woman stared at the eldest lady and raised her chin slightly: "Come here, come here, why bring the child? Are you afraid that someone in Mo's house will harm you?" The
ninth lady's fingers holding the child were slightly tight, for a moment, depressed With hatred in his heart, he calmly raised his head: "I implore the master to send one more maid, they are not used to taking care of them like Chunlan, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it alone."
Before Master Mo could say anything, the man said again: "The madam only Two maids, what are you thinking..."
Master Mo reprimanded: "Quiet!"
She agreed to Madam Jiu's request, and the eldest lady said that she would arrange this matter. Master is busy with business, so don't be tired.
She continued: "It's still better to find out the cause of death and avenge the nine ladies, so as not to feel resentment."
Butler Mo dutifully reported everything that happened, and led the fire into the courtyard. What I feel is really not suitable for cleaning up."
Master Mo's face suddenly sank, and the eldest lady watched her words and raised her lips slightly.
Butler Mo didn't notice at all, and the eldest lady said gently: "Just now, Butler Mo reported this to me. I felt wronged for Jiumei, so I took it upon myself to spread my trust and admiration for the boss."
Master Mo's face became even darker: "I don't blame you for this!" He glared at Butler Mo: "I wander around all day and don't do business, so what is the purpose of slandering others for no reason? From now on, you are not Mo's family!" Stunned, he stopped talking, his face full of doubts and shock, his eyes turned to the eldest lady, the eldest lady returned a gentle smile, he calmed down a little, and scolded Mr. Mo eight hundred times in his heart!
Master Mo ordered everyone to retire, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated. When Mu Qingchen and Jiang Huiying entered the inner courtyard, the building was already empty. She caught a servant and asked, "Where are the people inside?"
Watching the two return the same way, they hurried to the first courtyard, closed the wooden door and whispered: "Boss Mu is gone! Why did the madam suggest that the master pretend not to know that they were invited?"
Cold sweat, knowing that he violated the rules, silently waiting aside.
The eldest lady asked, "How is the housekeeper Mo?"
"Madam, after he went back, the housekeeper Mo was chased away and made a fuss with others."
"Go to appease him, let him stay away for a few days, and then..." She smiled grimly, "Kill it!"
