Chapter 3 - Finding fault and getting slapped in the face
Under Mo Yu's lead, Zhuo Qingyan returned to a plum garden with a two story wooden house.
The courtyard was dark and devoid of any signs of life.
Mo Yu familiarly pulled her into the house, and just as she was looking around, when she turned around, Mo Yu had already lit the candle.
"Miss, this servant will go find something to eat …" Mo Yu said softly. Seeing her nod, he immediately walked out.
When she found a few steamed buns that were harder than stone, she also brought a mama with her.
"Miss …" The mama rushed over, tears streaming down her face.
"Qiu mama …" Zhuo Qingyan let out a shrill laugh.
"mama, Miss is hungry, hurry up …" Mo Yu immediately reminded her.
"Oh, okay, eat, eat... "I've made you suffer …" Qiu mama said as he took out some food from the basket in his hands.
He felt a warm meal in his stomach and his body warmed up. It was already dawn, and the night had not ended yet.
After changing her clothes, she sat in the living room, waiting for someone to come knocking.
Sure enough, when the morning hour passed, a group of people had already rushed into the yard.
Then, he heard a sharp female voice, "Carry the person out for me. I want to see if she's a human or a ghost!"
"Yes!" Third Miss! " After a few men answered, the door was kicked open.
However, before the four people could clearly see who was in the room, they felt a sudden pain on their face. After being kicked in the chest, they immediately retreated and fell at the door.
"How dare you. No matter how weak I am, I am still a young miss of the Shang Shu Manor. Do you dog slaves dare to act rashly?" You don't want to live anymore? " A hoarse and cold voice came from within the room.
Everyone outside was startled, and the most shocked should be the young girl dressed in embroidered clothes. She was the person Mo Yu mentioned to be the direct descendant Third Miss who wanted her life, Zhuo Qinglin.
When Zhuo Qingyan stood at the doorway with her hands behind her back, she saw her somewhat panicked, somewhat puzzled, and somewhat sinister eyes.
The two of them continued to stare at each other, the more she glared at them, but Zhuo Qingyan remained indifferent, but her eyes were as cold as ever.
"How dare you, you bitch. How can you look at Third Miss like that? Be careful not to dig out your eyes …" The servant standing beside Zhuo Qinglin shouted out.
Zhuo Qingyan suddenly laughed, but this laugh made everyone's hearts tremble, and their bodies involuntarily shivered.
"Third Miss, the dogs beside you really know how to bark! It's quite loud! " Zhuo Qingyan's voice was still as indifferent as before.
Zhuo Qinglin swallowed, and her neck stiffened: "What do you want?"
"It should be me, your sister, asking you, right?" What do you want? " Zhuo Qingyan leaned her body against the door, a teasing look in her eyes.
"Idiot, don't play tricks here. I'm asking you, were you the one who killed the Chief of Department of Tong?" Zhuo Qinglin pointed at her and shouted angrily.
But she wasn't sure. Just these four people that came out just now, she really didn't think this fool in front of her was the culprit. Was there another master in her house?
Could the person who had saved her last night be inside the house right now? If she really forced her way in, would she still be able to escape with her life? She still didn't want to die!
"What if I say, no?" Zhuo Qingyan raised her eyebrows at her, the playfulness in her eyes becoming even more apparent.
It was only because of this moment of Zhuo Qinglin's panic that she saw him. It seemed that the girl in front of her was not some scheming master, and there could only be one reason for her to be so arrogant. She had someone supporting her from behind.
Zhuo Qinglin naturally thought that she wouldn't admit it, but at the moment, she didn't have a way down, so she didn't leave the courtyard crestfallen. Hearing her reply, she could be considered to have found a way out.
"I'll believe you. It seems like there was an evil person in the mansion last night, and the entire manor is currently searching for them. Get out of the way, let them go in and search for you. That way, we can have an explanation." Zhuo Qinglin's tone softened.
"What if I say that there's no one else in the house other than Mo Yu and me? Oh right, Third Miss, I would like to ask, the little one and Mo Yan have been called by you for some time, right? Isn't it time to return it? " Zhuo Qingyan suddenly asked.
Zhuo Qinglin unnaturally shook hands, at this time, Zhu Xin, who was standing at the side, immediately understood what she meant, and continued: "These two servants didn't listen to you, and were taken away by the Tong Guan to be trained.
"Director Tong? "Well, ask him then." Zhuo Qingyan's lips suddenly curled up.
Seeing this, both master and servant felt their hearts tremble. Their scalps became numb, and they simultaneously swallowed their saliva.
"Since …" Since Fourth Sister has said no, then no, let's go! " Zhuo Qinglin was afraid that if she did not leave now, he would not be able to leave this courtyard.
Although she brought a lot of people with her, if she met any strong enemies or experts, none of them would be enough. Just based on the way she killed the people from Tong Wei's house yesterday, she knew that it was definitely an expert's work.
"Wait, Third Miss." Zhuo Qingyan spoke again.
"What else do you want?" Zhuo Qinglin's heart trembled. At this moment, she was truly afraid of this little sister in front of her who she had always regarded as a fool.
"The weather is getting cold, and there's no coal burning in my yard. Send someone to bring some over. Also, I heard that second brother is coming back, right?" Zhuo Qingyan raised her eyebrows at her.
Hearing that, Zhuo Qinglin stared at her angrily, after taking in a few breaths, she then said: "Yes, we will send people over later, what does Fourth Sister need? Let's talk about it together! "
"There's no need for anything else. Just send someone to fix the door to my courtyard. See you out!" The corners of Zhuo Qingyan's lips curled up in a cold smile.
"Let's go!" Zhuo Qinglin angrily brought her people and left.
Only when there was no one outside the courtyard did Zhuo Qingyan's body sway. Her hands gripped the doorframe tightly as cold sweat flowed down her body.
Mo Yu immediately went over to support her. Seeing her pale white face, she asked worriedly, "Young miss, are you alright?"
"Not good …" Zhuo Qingyan's vision had already blurred.
After he finished speaking, Mo Yu's expression darkened as he fell into her embrace.
With this dizziness, more things appeared in his mind.
The woman in plain clothes standing under the plum tree smiled amiably.
A handsome man with a candied fruit in his hand and a smile as bright as the sun beckoned to her …
At least, someone had fed her medicine, and she knew it. Someone had played with her, she knew it; someone had taught her how to practice the sword, she knew it; someone had taught her how to read, she knew it; someone had taught her how to sing ….
"Little stone queuing station, a field word inside;
Touch the upper part of the hand bite, touch the lower part of the meat;
The first three, back, five steps are wrong, and we have to open a large treasure box! "
This was a song that did not sound like a song, but more like a secret message.
Just as she wanted to listen more carefully, she was disturbed by the clamorous noise from the outside.
