Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Chapter 120 Come to seek peace

The sky was gloomy, with dark clouds rolling in, and I didn't know when it would rain.

Su Zi hugged the wooden basin, walked out of the house with a smile, and said to the inside, "Madam, eat first, and I will collect some clothes."

After the words fell, Su Zi pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the response from inside. She turned around holding the wooden basin. Just as she was about to go down the steps, she saw the chaos in the garden.

The wooden basin fell to the ground with a sound. Su Zi's eyes widened and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"What's wrong!" Bai Ji jumped out of the house first, chewing a piece of venison in his mouth, looking puzzled, "What is it called?"

Su Zi turned his back and pointed at the yard, not daring to speak.

Bai Ji raised his eyes and looked forward, his brows also furrowed.

In the courtyard, there were corpses of rats everywhere, with their heads separated and their deaths miserable.

Bai Ji pursed his lips, and suddenly felt that the venison in his mouth was no longer fragrant.

Fang Xu came out slowly and saw that the two of them looked very bad, so he asked, "What happened?"

"Madam, don't look!" Bai Ji's heart tightened and he raised his hand to block Fang Xu's sight.

Fang Xu grabbed her hand and took a closer look. He saw rat corpses everywhere in the courtyard. A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he raised his lips and said, "How do you still want to be on par with the sky even if you have such despicable skills?"

Su Zi covered her heart and asked quickly, "Madam, do you know who did it?"

"Of course." Fang Xu let go of Bai Ji's hand and chuckled, "All the people who were against me before are dead. Now, there is only one person left."

"Madam, you mean..." Su Zi's eyebrows moved, "Princess Duanyang?"

Fang Xu raised the corners of her lips slightly and said with a smile, "She can enter my Chengyuan and become a demon without anyone noticing. From this, it seems that there are capable people around her."

Fang Xu lowered his eyes, stared at the yard, and whispered, "The garden is full of corpses, but there is no blood. This is a warning to me."

"Then how are we going to fight back?" Bai Ji stepped forward with a serious look on his face, "Does Madam need a slave to sneak into the princess's house, and then..."

Bai Ji stretched out his index finger and made a gesture on his neck, "Raise the knife and drop it!"

"No need." Fang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his lips, "Get the car ready. I want to go to Princess Duanyang's Mansion in person."

"Yes."

-

The sky was getting gloomier, and there were very few people walking on the street. The carriage stopped outside Princess Duanyang's Mansion. Fang Xu was helped out of the carriage, looking at the gold-plated door plaque above, the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

"Mrs. Yongcheng, please come with your servant."

The little maid who came to greet her was still Qingli from last time. Different from the previous two times, when we saw her today, the little girl's condition became worse and worse. Her eyes were surrounded by bruises, and she had several injuries on her body. She couldn't walk. It's all limping.

Fang Xu walked slowly and said casually, "Su Zi, do you still like the two new clothes I cut for you last time?"

Su Zi paused, followed Madam's gaze, and instantly understood what she meant, "Back to Madam, the material is excellent. I like it so much that I can't bear to wear it on weekdays!"

"If you like it, just get a few more. Why bother yourself with something like this?" Fang Xu looked at Qingli and saw her walking slower and slower, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Su Zi laughed brightly, "Thank you, madam, slave!"

Turning the corner to the Buddhist hall, Qingli stood at the door, lowered her head, her voice seemed to be trembling, "Mrs. Yongcheng, the princess is waiting for you in the house."

Fang Xu looked at her, and after a moment he gently raised his hand, straightened her flipped-up inner garment, and chuckled, "I'll help you lead the way."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xu glanced sideways at Su Zi and said softly, "I'll go in alone, and you wait for me here."

<divclass="contentadv">Fang Xu's eyes were dark and unclear, as if he had an ulterior motive. Su Zi met her eyes, understood, and nodded lightly.

Seeing that Su Zi understood what he was thinking, Fang Xu curled his lips and stepped into the house.

The door was opened, candlelight danced in the room, and Duanyang was the only one in the spacious Buddhist hall.

Fang Xu stepped closer, and immediately there was the sound of a door closing behind him.

Hearing the noise, Duanyang turned around, looked at Fang Xu with a smile, and said in a yin and yang tone, "Isn't this Mrs. Yongcheng? What brought you here?"

Fang Xu lowered his eyebrows, and when he saw her speaking, he lifted up his clothes, knelt down, and said in a respectful tone, "My wife is here today to plead guilty to the princess."

"Excuse me?" Duanyang leaned back and said teasingly, "What crime is Madam Hou guilty of?"

Fang Xu knelt on the ground, but his body was upright, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "I must not be ignorant of the princess's promotion, and think of myself as noble. Now that I have made the princess unhappy, I came here to ask for peace."

"I hope the princess, for the sake of my wife's good attitude, will show her favor and let the Marquis go."

Hearing this, Duanyang covered his mouth and laughed loudly, as if he had won a battle.

It wasn't until she had laughed enough that she slowly stood up, walked to Fang Xu, bent down to help her up, and said with a sincere face, "Mrs. Hou, you and I should not be enemies."

Fang Xu lowered his head, as if he was frightened, and did not answer her words.

Duanyang was not annoyed. He smiled and patted Fang Xu's hand. His tone was soft and seemed to be tempting, "If you join my army and we join forces, why worry about who can't be defeated?"

"But..." Fang Xu pursed his lips with hesitation on his face, "I have no help from my husband's family and no real power. How can I help the princess?"

"I know the situation in your family." Duanyang led her to the elegant banquet and lowered his voice, "I just fell in love with your mind and fell into my hands to be a counselor. When I complete my great cause, you will be indispensable. benefit."

Fang Xu frowned, lowered his head and said nothing.

Duanyang was not in a hurry and looked at her quietly, "Aren't you here today just to beg me for mercy?"

After finishing speaking, Duanyang raised his chin and smiled sinisterly, "If you remain stubborn, there will be no good end."

Hearing this, Fang Xu showed fear on his face and murmured, "Let...the princess do whatever she wants."

Duanyang's goal was achieved, he smiled knowingly, raised his hand to pour a cup of warm tea for Fang Xu, and whispered, "You are indeed a smart man."

Hall outside

Suzi and Qingli stood in the aisle, no one said a word, it was too quiet.

Seeing Qingli lowering her head, Su Zi coughed twice and took the lead in bringing up the topic, "Sister Qingli, I see you are still young. Were you sold into the house by your family?"

Qingli trembled, as if she didn't expect Su Zi to be willing to talk to her. She reacted for a while and then said quietly, "No, I've been here since I was a child, and my mother is here too."

"That's it." Su Zi nodded clearly and said as if unintentionally, "My wife entered the princess's house three times and it was always you who showed her the way. Are you Princess Duanyang's personal maid?"

Qingli looked at her and shook her head after a while, "No, I am a handyman in the house. I can do all kinds of work. I can wash clothes, chop firewood and welcome guests. I can also clean the toilet bowl."

Su Zi paused, a little distressed on his face, "How come you do so much work at such a young age?"

Qingli looked at her for a long time, then slowly lowered her head, unwilling to speak any more.
