bright moon goes west

In the middle of the night, the second aunt, who always worked and rested on time, hadn't fallen asleep yet, but knelt alone in the small Buddhist hall, staring devoutly at the Bodhisattva on the altar offering phoenixes.

Her lips moved slightly, she silently recited the Lotus Sutra, and her fingers gently turned the beads on her wrist.

Suddenly, with a sound of "crash", the silk thread on the Buddhist beads broke apart, and the round~rolling emerald beads rolled to the ground...

The second aunt's heart trembled, as if feeling something, she closed her eyes in pain.

At dawn, two old women knocked on the door of Chen Fangxue's temporary room with food boxes, but after a long time, there was still no movement in the room.

The old woman knew Chen Fangxue's temper, and she would definitely scold her if she went in hastily, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no movement and it was wrong.

The two old ladies looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and gently pushed open the door of the wing.

"Ah—" A piercing scream pierced the sky.Looking at Chen Fangxue, who was lying on the ground with blue eyes, the two old women trembled in fright.

The guards outside the house rushed in, and one of them stepped forward and sniffed under Chen Fangxue's nose, touched her carotid artery covered with terrible pinch marks, and shook his head.

The Fourth Madam was first sad and then happy that night, and her emotions fluctuated wildly. At eight o'clock in the morning, she was still stuck in the pillow and fell asleep.If something big hadn't happened, Mother Lin would definitely not have come to quarrel with the hostess.

"Madam, wake up, the eldest lady was killed in the wing room." Lin Ma gently pushed the sleeping fourth lady a few times.

The Fourth Madam opened her eyes dimly. After hearing Mama Lin's words, her brain was in a daze for a short while, and then she turned over and got up from the bed, bowing her head and going to put on her shoes...

When she bent over, she became dizzy for a while, and the fourth lady almost fell to the ground, and she was almost supported by Madam Lin.

"Ma'am, please slow down, your age is not as good as those young and young, you have to hold on at this time." Lin Ma held the Fourth Madam and helped her put on her shoes.

"It's all right, how could someone die? The commander's mansion is heavily guarded, how could the thieves come in!"

While speaking, the fourth lady had already dressed for the outside, she casually grabbed a silver hairpin on the mirror stand, and without Mama Lin's help, she simply tied her hair into a black and shiny hair, and hurriedly held Mama Lin's hand out of the courtyard.

"Who knows! It's not like you don't know the reputation of our young lady. There are countless adulterers. There are all kinds of people who don't know anything. Maybe it's love murder!"

Mama Lin has a conservative personality, and she looks down on the frivolous Chen Fangxue. What's more, as a concubine's niece, she has no respect for the fourth wife because she is the daughter of a handsome man.

"How can it be so simple." The fourth lady hissed like a toothache. Those who dare to kill people in the commander's mansion are not ordinary people.I'm afraid those clansmen who were forcibly suppressed by Cui Heng'e last night will make use of it again!
"Have the people in An Yuan notified you?" An Yuan is the corner courtyard in the entire Shuai Mansion, where Chen Xun and Chen Fangxue's birth mother and second aunt live.

"Not yet, I'm afraid she will use this to cause trouble." The son has no future, and the daughter is dead. An aunt who has no knowledge may not be able to do anything after knowing the news.

"The old slave has arranged for people to block the news. Only you know about this." Lin Ma replied in a low voice.

"You did a good job!" The fourth lady patted Mama Lin's hand, "Does the third young master trust you?" Although the son had just recognized him, but by observing his behavior, he was calm and experienced, and the fourth lady naturally took Chen Hengdang became the backbone.

Mama Lin looked distressed: "I was about to tell you that the young master is not in the room. I asked the servants, and they said that the young master left the house just after dawn."

"Going out?" The fourth lady was taken aback, and she had some thoughts in her mind for nothing.

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the wing where Chen Fangxue's accident happened. The Fourth Madam suppressed her worries and called the two old ladies who first discovered the body to come and question her.

……

Heng'e slept until noon, if Feiqiong was not afraid that she would be hungry and hurt her body, she might have slept until night.

When lunch was served, Heng'e ate a golden shredded roll, a jadeite siu mai, two shrimp dumplings, and a few light and refreshing side dishes, and a bowl of sashimi porridge before putting down her chopsticks.

After Hang'e rinsed her mouth, Fei Qiong brought a cup of candied date tea and said in a low voice, "The news from the Fourth Madam just now is that Chen Fangxue was killed."

"What!" Heng'e almost dropped the pastel porcelain tea bowl of Begonia and Double Butterflies in her hand, and she slapped her palm on the table angrily, "Are all the guards in the handsome mansion dead! How could Chen Fangxue be killed in the mansion?" killed!"

Fei Qiong quickly patted the young lady's back, giving her comfort: "I'm afraid this matter is not easy!"

Heng'e squeezed the space between her eyebrows: "You underestimated Chen Fangxue, she should have a lot of secrets." Otherwise, why bother to take the risk of killing people in the commander's mansion. "Where's Chen Xun? Immediately contact the soldiers escorting him. There's no need to go north. Escort him back to Jin L City, and I'll do it right away!"

Cui Heng'e had a premonition that the city of Jin L was about to change.

When Chen Heng arrived at "Yunlai Teahouse", he turned around and went to a box on the second floor.

There were already four people sitting in the room.They were all dressed up in top hats, sunglasses, and long gowns, and everyone had a big beard covering most of their cheeks, which was obviously a disguise.

"Dare to meet me in the busy city at such a sensitive time! Should I say you are too confident or too arrogant." A sneer appeared on Chen Heng's cold face, which made his dead-like facial lines change. Gotta come alive.

One of them was obviously the one in charge of the four people and asked, "How is the task you were asked to do?" He ignored Chen Heng's irony.

Chen Heng found a chair and sat down.

One of them put a tea bowl in front of Chen Heng, and respectfully said, "Master, drink tea."

Chen Heng was so shameless that he didn't even move the tea bowl in front of him.

"If you don't trust me, you can do it yourself." The cheeks of the man who was contradicted by Chen Heng twitched, his thin lips hidden in the stubble hooked coldly, and the long legs under the table stretched out, A domineering force on his feet hit Chen Heng's chair straight.

"Crackling——" With a crackling sound, the solid wooden chair Chen Heng was sitting on fell apart.If Chen Heng hadn't seen the opportunity so quickly, I'm afraid that he would have fallen down on his ass~ squatting.

"Who gave you the illusion that I have a good temper?!" The man's deliberately low voice seemed to be mixed with ice in the cold weather.

Chen Heng is no match for this man. He has been taught unilaterally by the man many times, and he has been beaten from body to heart.

He couldn't help but licked his lips, not daring to speak up against the man in front of him who seemed to be suppressing his anger, and said quietly, "The man is dead, I can't save him."

"Does the murderer know?" The man didn't care much about the dead in Chen Heng's mouth.This was beyond Chen Heng's expectation.He sneered silently in his heart, thinking that this man's generosity was all just pretending.

"I thought..." Chen Heng moved his lips, and then said mockingly, "Forget it."

The man saw through the little Jiujiu in Chen Heng's heart at a glance, and he didn't even move his eyebrows.In the army, what kind of thorns have never been seen.What Chen Heng did was nothing more than pediatrics.

"Chen Fangxue is dead, I guess it's time to go to collect Chen Xun's body at this time." Chen Heng couldn't hide the sarcasm on his lips.

The man snorted inexplicably. He didn't expect the cold and eccentric Chen Heng to be so good at brainstorming. It seems that he has been with Chen Ji for too long.

"I only have one request, to ensure her safety. If you do anything unnecessary, you will be dealt with by military law." After the man finished speaking, he got up from his seat first.

The other three stood up quickly.

One of the men said in a rough voice: "Third Master, I will follow you from now on."

"You sent someone to watch me?!" Chen Heng looked annoyed.

"You think too much, you messed up R's own plan, I'm afraid you will be retaliated." The man's handsome eyebrows raised, and he gradually grew impatient with Chen Heng's uncertain weather.

There was a partridge chirping outside the window, the man straightened his beard, and quickly walked out of the box with the remaining two men.

"Third Master, please." The man left behind bent slightly and made a "please" gesture respectfully.

Chen Heng climbed up from the bottom, well aware of the difficulty of the little people, but he didn't make things difficult for the people in front of him, he just snorted and walked ahead first.

"Young Madam, Director Gao wants to see you. In addition, the Fourth Madam also sent someone to invite you back home."

Hearing this, Heng'e closed the book in her hand, and said in a very indifferent tone, "Just say that I'm not feeling well, and I've already fallen asleep."

"But the servants see that Director Gao seems to be in a hurry."

Heng'e took a deep look at the maidservant who had been taciturn before, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people standing up to it."

Heng'e may not care about Gao Ling's defiant attitude, but he always hides from himself when it comes to major issues, and when he encounters something, he pushes himself to take the lead.Could it be that Gao Ling thought she was so easy to use.It was her good temper during this time that gave Gao Ling an illusion.

The young lady's displeasure had piled up on the corners of her brows and eyes.Jichun didn't dare to say any more, and lowered his head respectfully, and the beauty in his hand beat the young lady's legs with moderate strength.

"Ask someone to prepare the car. I'll go out later." Heng'e gently brushed Jichun's hand away.She was wrong, she shouldn't have trusted Gao Ling in the first place, otherwise, why would she be so passive now.

When Heng'e left the small courtyard, Gao Ling led several of his men to guard the door.

It's been half an hour and you still haven't left?A silent sneer curled up on the corner of Heng'e's lips, and Gao Ling was completely ignored without pausing in her footsteps.

Just as the bodyguard was about to close the car door, Gao Ling held down the door handle.

"Brother and sister, wait, I have something important to tell you."

Heng'e was sitting in the car, her beautiful bright eyes were shining coldly: "Director Gao, I'm in a hurry, please use a new vocabulary next time." She directly told the driver: "Drive!"
