Fast time travel: The heroine and the female supporting role hold the script of the villain

Chapter 93 The real daughter, she quit (39)

As soon as she entered the Qingsong Courtyard, Haiyao heard the sound of cups shattering coming from the room, she groaned inwardly, and couldn't help but quicken her pace a lot.

When Chun Xi hurriedly opened the curtain on the door of the main house for her, the next thing she heard was Zhao's shocking 'what'?
"Is the news confirmed?" Zhao asked again.

Butler Wu bowed and responded: "It's not wrong. Yesterday, the slave personally sent Er Xiao... Miss Jinrou back to the Wang family in the west of Chengxi. I was afraid that she would not be able to accept it for a while and would make a fuss, and I was even more afraid that the couple would be too greedy, so I stayed for two years. A little fellow stood guard at the entrance of the alley."

Said that Wang and his wife are greedy, Haiyao totally agreed. Although there was still a considerable amount of money sent back with Wu Jinrou yesterday, the couple probably figured out a way to ask for more when they came to their senses.

After all, if Wu Jinrou is still the lady of Wu's house, then every year, she can help them in private more or less. This time is good, once she leaves the house, there is really no hope.

"In the end, this is where the strange thing happened. The two young men didn't notice anything unusual until this morning when they were about to return to their home, so they decided to pretend to pass by the small courtyard where the Wangs and his wife lived temporarily to confirm the situation. "When Butler Wu said this, his expression became very bitter.

"I never expected that the door of that yard was ajar, and the two boys smelled an inexplicable smell of blood from it. Moreover, it was too quiet in the yard, so the boys boldly Reach out and push gently..."

"Dead! They're all dead! There's blood all over the yard!"

"Father, mother." Haiyao's appearance broke the stagnant atmosphere in the main house in a timely manner. Without changing her face, she first saluted Wu Xiuyuan and Zhao Shi, who were not very good-looking, and then greeted Wu Xiuyuan as if she had just seen Butler Wu Said: "Hey, I was still thinking about where Steward Wu was going in such a hurry just now, did he come to Qingsongyuan for his feelings?"

After the words fell, she seemed to realize that the faces of the people were not quite right, so she asked cautiously: "What? Did something happen?"

Butler Wu waited for a while, and seeing that the master and madam had no intention of driving the young lady away, he roughly repeated what he had just said: "The two young men were so frightened that their legs went limp when they came back, and said That man surnamed Wang was hacked to death in the yard, and the criminals even spared the family dog."

"It's strange to say that the temporary residence of the Wang family is not far from the entrance of the alley. How come the people in our house can't hear the slightest movement?"

At this time, Mrs. Zhao's face had turned pale, and she stretched out her hand to hold Wu Xiuyuan's sleeve very disturbedly, with tears running down her cheeks: "Master! This... what should we do! Unexpected misfortune, if I knew it, I wouldn’t be in such a hurry to send him back.”

After all, she was a child raised by her own hands. Although she did something wrong, no one wanted her to die.

Wu Xiuyuan frowned, and patted Zhao's hand reassuringly, with a little uncertainty in his eyes.

Haiyao looked at the reactions of the two of them for a while, then turned to Steward Wu and asked, "Are you sure everyone in the Wang family is dead?"

Butler Wu was taken aback when asked: "This...the two young men didn't dare to go into the yard! It was almost dawn at that time, and they were caught by the neighbors who saw it and sent to the yamen! They I just saw that the head of the house fell in the yard, his head was almost cut off, and there was another lying on the threshold of the room facing the courtyard door, presumably it should be the wife of the family."

"Later, one of them went back to the mansion to report the letter, and the other stayed there until he saw that someone reported to the official, and the official of the yamen also passed by before running back."

As the other party's words came out, Zhao Shi trembled again, patting his chest non-stop, trying not to picture the extremely bloody scene in his mind.

"It's better to find out more about the matter. It's not clear, but it makes parents worry. Are you right, Butler Wu?" Haiyao raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone was flat.

"Missy is very right, this slave will send someone to inquire again!" Butler Wu was reminded by her at this moment, and he also felt that he had acted recklessly in this matter. After all, it was because Wu Jinrou was involved, no matter what Said that she was also the former Second Miss of the Wu Mansion... After that, he quickly regained his senses, then he cupped his hands, turned and left in a hurry.

Haiyao stepped forward and patted Zhao's back with ease: "Things are not yet clear, mother should not be too sad, the most important thing is her body."

Mrs. Zhao nodded indiscriminately, tapped the inconspicuous teardrops at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed: "Although your father said yesterday, after sending her back to the Wang family, our family will find you There will be a white matter one day, but that is not really going to curse her to death..."

"A good person, who was still yelling in the inner room yesterday, but after one night, heaven and man will be separated forever!"

Hearing Mrs. Zhao's rambling voice, Haiyao only went in the left ear and out the right ear, uttering words of comfort from time to time.As for Wu Xiuyuan, it seems that since he learned the news just now, his expression has been a little thought-provoking, and the doubt in it is greater than the sadness.

Butler Wu didn't waste too much time, just when Mrs. Zhao's car was talking back and forth, another communication came from outside the main house.

Following Wu Xiuyuan's cold tone of "enter", the man bypassed the screen at the door, bowed his head, walked in front of the three of them, and bowed again: "The slaves have been asked clearly, saying that they are officials. Three bodies were carried out from that yard, a man, a woman and a boy who was less than ten years old."

Mrs. Zhao was surprised when she heard the words: "Is there no kindness in it?"

Butler Wu shook his head: "According to Zuo Zuo who went to the scene, there are indeed only three corpses, and all three of them had their throats cut with a cruel knife."

"Just to be on the safe side, I personally went to the west of the city to inquire with the people living nearby, and it was consistent with what the officials said. Moreover, the people in the neighborhood only knew that the Wang family had a son, and no one knew about it. I met Miss Jinrou."

"This...so Jinrou is not dead? Was she taken captive?" Finally, Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. For a while, she could only think of this possibility, but she soon realized that something was wrong.

She looked up at the daughter standing beside her, and then at the man sitting next to her: "Master, that's weird, could it be that the gang of thieves went after Jinrou? But she's a girl Home, probably won't provoke anyone outside, right?"

"You still treat her like an ordinary girl?" Wu Xiuyuan snorted coldly, waved away Butler Wu, and then stood up: "I'm afraid that the Wu House will be in a lot of trouble because of her!"

Throwing down these words, the man strode out the door.

Since she hadn't read the intercepted letter that Wu Jinrou ordered her maid to send to Zhang Heji yesterday, Mrs. Zhao naturally didn't know that the other party was still inextricably related to Luo's house, but she was caught by Wu Xiuyuan's attitude. It made him slightly stunned.

Seeing this, Haiyao blinked, tapped the woman's shoulder lightly, and asked chattingly: "Yesterday, my father said that he would send the seriously ill second sister to the Zhuangzi, when did my mother decide to say so? "

Mrs. Zhao shook her head, feeling quite troubled: "How can it be so fast? There are so many eyes staring inside and outside the capital. We can't compare to those small households. No matter what we do, we must be careful and careful."

"Besides, your great aunt came over to bother me for a long time last night because of Sister Zhen's affairs. What she meant was that she wanted me to give something to Sister Zhen's dowry, so that she would look decent."

"Like others and rush to be a concubine, but also want to be decent?" The words are full of absurdity and contempt.

Regarding this, Haiyao only gave her own evaluation: "I always heard from my grandmother that my uncle is very respectable in his hometown Raocheng, and the only daughter is married, so parents probably won't be stingy. "

The implication is, give a fart.

Mrs. Zhao and her thought very much the same, they just pursed their lips and nodded slightly.

"By the way, mother, sister Jinrou's whereabouts are unknown now...don't think your daughter is cold-blooded. It is better to draw a clear line between her and the Wu family. In case something happens in the future, you will be implicated. It's not beautiful to come to our house." Haiyao can be regarded as a point.

"Yes, yes, I will discuss it with your father later." Mrs. Zhao replied.

Then Haiyao chatted with her for a while, then got up and went back to her glass courtyard, then took advantage of the fact that the mansion should be relatively clean for the past two days, turned around and left the mansion, and went to the Ruxiangfang in the city.

Ruxiangfang is still the bustling appearance in memory.

After Haiyao ordered the coachman to go around in front, he came to the back door very low-key, and put on a hood to hide his face before getting out of the car.

At that time, the treasurer of Xiangfang was standing there respectfully, and invited her in very courteously, and then ordered someone to close the back door tightly.

"Girl, why didn't you give me an order in advance when you came here today? The man who was busy ahead saw your carriage with sharp eyes." The shopkeeper said while leading the way ahead, leading her through the small backyard. , entered the interior of Ruxiangfang.

Immediately, what one smells in the nose is a complex smell mixed with various aromas, which has the miraculous effect of instantly dizzying one's head.

All the way up to the second floor, the shopkeeper first ordered someone to serve hot tea, and then presented a few account books with his respectful hands: "Girl, just wait and see, I'll go to Changshouzhai in the next street to buy it for you." Some snacks to go!"

After finishing speaking, before Haiyao refused, she disappeared very quickly.

Putting the account book on the table in front of her casually, she turned her face slightly and looked at the people coming and going in the street below along the side window, until she saw a familiar figure among the slightly crowded crowd outside Ruxiangfang.

Ok?
After a brief moment of surprise, Haiyao turned her head and whispered a few words to Chunxi who was beside her. Chunxi responded crisply and quickly went downstairs.

After a while, she came up again, followed by a person.

After seeing Haiyao who was sitting quietly by the window at this time, the man also raised his eyebrows indistinctly, but his expression was not too surprised, as if he was not surprised by the scene in front of him.

"Little General Lu, we meet again." Haiyao stretched out her hand, motioning for him to sit down casually.

That's right, the person who came was the black-faced god Lu Cheng'en who she met when she, Wu Jinrou, and Wu Jinzhen went for an outing in Minghu Lake in the suburbs of Beijing, and made all the young masters and ladies fearful.

Now Haiyao is no longer that "village girl" who doesn't understand the situation in Beijing, she has some understanding of the origin of the person in front of her.

The Lu family is also quite a remarkable existence in Beijing. His father, Lu Tao, is one of the few people in this dynasty with a hereditary title. Lord.

Lu Chengen is Lu Tao's legitimate son, logically speaking, he should be the only candidate to inherit the title, but being a father is not very reliable, after the death of Lu Chengen's biological mother, he married a second wife and gave birth to two sons.

It didn't take long for Lu Tao to be coaxed by the new wife, who was not considered a dignitary, to be happy. With a big wave of his hand, he went to the palace to ask the emperor's will, and gave the title to the new wife's son.

In those years, Lu Chengen's life was very difficult. He was still young, not only had to earn a living under his father Xu Xian, but also had to protect his younger sister. I don't know how much suffering he had to suffer The King of Hades who made the enemy fearful today.

This person should have vividly explained what it means to forge iron and you need to be hard on your own. The title in Lu Tao's hand will be reduced from generation to generation. The sign is about to be replaced by the county government.

At the beginning, it was said that Lu Chengen and his biological father had a fierce quarrel, but he turned around and left the Duke's Mansion to join the army. When he returned to Beijing again, he was rewarded by the Holy Majesty. Not only did he become a fourth-rank general, but he also Opened a mansion outside alone.

You must know that this dynasty has always emphasized literature, and it is not easy for a fourth-rank military general, let alone how old he is?Only in his twenties.

Over there, Lu Chengen, who heard Haiyao's greeting, just smiled slightly, and took a seat across the table to save face, glanced at the unopened account books, and slowly opened his mouth: "It's a long distance from Lu. It's been a few months since I saw Miss Wu for the first time, so Miss Wu is fine."

"Thanks to General Lu's concern." Haiyao slowly poured a cup of tea for the other party, and asked with a smile: "Some time ago, I heard that the general went to Yongnan to quell the border invasion. Several victories in succession made Shengshang Longyan happy. I think the general should have just returned. Not long after Beijing, coming to Ruxiangfang is..."

"The younger sister in the family clamored for something from Ruxiangfang, which made Miss Wu laugh." Lu Chengen was very calm.

"Chun Xi?"

As Haiyao's voice fell, Chunxi also gently placed a tray of things on the table.

There are several delicate-looking balms and rouges in the tray. Just by looking at them, I can feel that these must be of great value.

"I appreciate Miss Lu's personality very much. These things are just my wish to make friends with Miss Lu." Haiyao sat up slightly and pushed the tray to the opposite side.

Lu Chengen lowered his eyes, stared at those small boxes that he didn't know and didn't understand for a while, and finally showed a playful smile: "Miss Wu is kind, and Lu will thank you for my little sister."

"Or the words of thanks are too thin. I saw an interesting scene when I entered the palace this morning, but I don't know if Miss Wu would be interested."

Inside the palace?
Haiyao's eyelids twitched, but her expression remained calm: "I would like to hear more about it."
