Chapter 789 A misunderstanding?
Mrs. Fang bought the house two years ago and worked as a chore. Because her son and daughter-in-law were dead, she was the only one who had to rely on her, which was very pitiful.
If something bad happened to the little granddaughter, she might not be able to survive.
Dongmei and Shuiling hesitated for a moment. Instead of kicking the little granddaughter of the Fang family away, they reached out and took it.
But because of such a moment's delay, the strange woman had already climbed over the wall and was about to run away.
At the critical moment, Zheng Sanjiang arrived and kicked the old woman off the wall.
Following that, he also jumped down and knelt down on one knee. His knee was stuck in the crook of the mother-in-law's neck. She rolled her eyes and was unable to fight back.
Dongmei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found a rope and stepped forward to help.
To avoid alarming the enemy, there were no men in the kitchen today, and she was the only one who brought Shui Ling as the main force.
If the thief succeeded or escaped, they would really be embarrassed to see their master.
Fortunately, Zheng Sanjiang is still guarding outside the yard!
Dongmei stepped on the woman's chest and was about to bend down to tie her up when she saw black blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
She cursed angrily, "No, this **** thing is poisoned!"
Zheng Sanjiang also frowned, but still did not let go of his knees. It was not until the mother-in-law's face turned black and she tried to breathe again that he stood up and said, "It is true that you have taken poison. You continue to work. I will report to the master that this is a dead soldier." ”
After saying that, he pulled up a large wicker basket filled with vegetables, threw the woman into it, covered it with a sack, carried it on his back and walked out.
Those who don’t know just think that he is delivering food to the kitchen. Who knows that the basket contains a dead person...
Dongmei and Shuiling also looked bad, sweating from the fight just now.
No wonder they couldn't fight, that woman was actually a dead soldier!
The dead soldiers are different from ordinary guards and nurses. They are usually children bought by various wealthy families from various places. They have been trained secretly for many years, fed and provided with good food and drink. Some people even brainwash them every day and teach them to be loyal to the Lord.
After you have completed your studies, you can do assassination and other errands for your master's family, and you will definitely be killed or injured.
Either the target character died, or the mission failed and the dead man committed suicide...
Unexpectedly, the people behind the scenes plotted against the Li family and did such a cruel thing...
Li Laoer was waiting for guests. When he saw Zheng He making a gesture at the door, he found an excuse and walked out.
He also changed his expression when he heard that the person sent by the other party was a dead soldier...
At the same time, Jiayin also received news from Shuiling.
She looked at the women in the room, as well as her grandmother, sister-in-law and nephew. After thinking about it, she stood up and said, "Grandma, yesterday I sent a basket of strawberries from home. I'll have them washed and delivered to everyone." Taste something new.”
Mrs. Li thought her granddaughter was tired and impatient to socialize, so she said, "Go."
Just as Jiayin was about to go out, Baozhu grabbed her hand, "Sister Jiayin, I'll go with you."
Jiayin was anxious. She was afraid that the missing woman in the kitchen and her accomplices would target the female relatives in this house again, so she wanted to go out for a walk by herself and bring the danger outside.
As a result, the orb must follow. If something really goes wrong, why not add another one?
Unfortunately, Baozhu dragged her away without waiting for her to refuse.
Jiayin was helpless. After thinking about it, he winked at Shuiling and said, "Have someone wash the strawberries and bring them over. Let's go for a walk in the small garden."
Shui Ling responded and arrangements were made quickly.
The three of them went to the garden, but they didn’t notice a little maid quietly following them...
The Earl's Mansion is not big, but in order to take care of the beauty of the old and young girls in the family, a garden was also built.
Of course, there are no pavilions, just a small garden covering an area of one acre, which is suitable for taking a walk after eating.
It is now late autumn, and the cold wind is blowing on my body. The wives of each family were in the house, and the maids and women they brought with them were all crowded at the door, so they were left to serve. Most of the others were in the garden, chatting and killing time.
Seeing the good news and the treasure coming, everyone lowered their eyebrows and quickly retreated.
But there were exceptions. A little maid seemed a little nervous, and her veil was blown away by the wind when she failed to catch it.
She squatted down to pick it up and ran away with the handkerchief, and soon she was three steps away from Jiayin and others.
When she finally caught the handkerchief, she awkwardly raised her head and bowed to Jiayin to apologize, "My lord, it was my slave who was careless and offended..."
Jiayin smiled and shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, she looked behind the little maid in horror and yelled: "What are you going to do!"
The little maid was startled and turned to look, but there was nothing behind her.
She felt bad, and just as she was about to dodge, a cloud of white powder was thrown into her face.
Hurryly, she took a breath inertly, and it was too late to hold her breath.
She couldn't help but be angry and glared at Jiayin fiercely. She still wanted to speak, but she couldn't use any strength, so she could only faint and lie down on the ground unwillingly.
Shui Ling immediately jumped forward and quickly removed the little maid's chin...
Baozhu opened his mouth and was confused from beginning to end.
What happened?
Is there something wrong with this maid who picked up the handkerchief?
Jiayin breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and saw Baozhu looking stupid, raised his hand to close her mouth, and said with a smile: "If you have a problem in your heart, hold it in. I will explain it to you later. You go back to your mother first, don't follow me.
“Someone is causing trouble today, and there will be danger around me.”
Baozhu nodded blankly, and after waking up Shen'er, he shook his head desperately.
She grabbed two flower hairpins from her head and pulled her hair into a mess. Then she looked around nervously, "No, I can't leave! It would be unjust to run away when there is danger!"
She tried her best to keep Jiayin behind, and said with trembling hands: "Sister Jiayin, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
The good news is really helpless and funny, but this foodie girl still has a conscience, but the two hairpins may not be able to hurt a hair of the bad guy...
At this time, Li Laoer and Zheng He broke in. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his niece was well.
Looking at the little maid on the ground again, his face turned dark again.
“Fu Niu’er, didn’t I tell you to stay in the house and not come out casually?”
Jiayin quickly said: "Second uncle, I heard that someone was caught doing something in the kitchen. I'm afraid that they have accomplices who will attack the female relatives again, so they go out for a walk.
"As a result, this maid came close to me by picking up a handkerchief. Just in case, I sprinkled a handful of powder on her."
Hearing this, Li Laoer didn't care to complain about his niece anymore and called Zheng He to come forward to check.
Zheng He touched the maid's mouth for a long time, with a strange expression on his face.
“Um...uncle, princess, this maid has no fangs in her mouth!”
What? !
The good news is a bit embarrassing.
Could it be that she is an ordinary maid? !
Shui Ling was also unconvinced and shouted: "It's impossible. This maid was so fierce just now and looked like she wanted to eat people. How could she not be a bad person!"
After saying that, she squatted down and touched the maid...
