Scheming Husband Comes to Farm - Chapter 485
Looking at this woman’s appearance, she doesn’t seem to be lying. Rong Xiu thinks in her heart that if she lies, she should not be so beautiful and rainy. She can’t even say a word. The expectation in her eyes can’t be pretended. “This lady, I don’t know your identity and name yet…”
“My name is Xiaomei…” “Qiao Lang didn’t tell you my name?” the woman said
“This…” Rong Xiu was so embarrassed that she even said, “it was urgent at that time. Before Mr. Qiao could finish, he went to work first, so…”
“I see. Joron is a quick tempered man, so I didn’t make it clear to you.”
On the contrary, Xiaomei explained all this: “I am Master Zhu’s concubine. Don’t think I’m a fickle woman. In fact, after Master Zhu accepted me as my concubine, he has never been in the future for several times. I was sold into Zhu’s house by my father. If I don’t want to, Master Zhu will not let my father go.”
She suddenly shrunk. “It’s like a big ice cellar. I’m afraid there’s no hope for me without Joram.”
Rong Xiu was surprised in her heart. According to reason, it was impossible for the beggar to see Xiaomei, who was raised in her boudoir. How they met was really open to question.
“That day, I met Qiao Lang in the pavilion in the backyard. He was beaten to death.”
Xiaomei seemed to be lost in thought. What she said was not good, but her lips were covered with a smile: “I saw that Qiao Lang was so poor that I dressed him up. But the master’s people came after him and told me that Qiao Lang was a long-time worker bought from the family. If he stole something, he would be beaten.”
Rong Xiu was stunned: “did you see where Mr. Qiao was taken?”
“Of course I know.” Xiaomei smiles: “Qiao Lang was taken away, put a jade pendant in my palm.”
She stood up, went to one side, and took down a jade pendant from the shelf on one side. It was just an ordinary green jade, but in Xiaomei’s eyes, it was the most unusual thing in Zhu’s house.
“You see, how beautiful it is.” Xiaomei put the jade pendant to the lamp shadow and sprinkled a soft light color.
However, there was only a long sigh left in Rongxiu. Xiaomei was also a fool. If she really let her know that the poor beggar was dead, what would she be like? Rongxiu didn’t dare to think about it, so she had to let Xiaomei take her hand to appreciate the green jade.
“Qiao Lang is very handsome. After the housekeeper took him away, I followed him to see where they had taken him. Unexpectedly, it was a well in the backyard.”
Xiaomei suddenly blows out the candle and pulls the Rong embroidery to the curtain. The sound of footsteps came from outside. I think someone has come. Li Qinglin went to the courtyard in the west just now. Has it been found out that someone has already noticed it? Rongxiu is alert at once.
Sure enough, someone knocked at the door. It was an old voice: “Aunt Mei, someone just heard this. What’s the sound?”
The candle light outside the window was extinguished, and Xiaomei blushed. She quickly pointed to the wardrobe, indicating that Rongxiu was hiding in the closet.
The closets of the women’s family members in this big family are all very private things. The men beside them can’t see them. It can be said that it is the most confidential place. However, Rong Xiu thought about it for a second. She opened the wardrobe, pulled out a small corner of her clothes inside and left it outside the wardrobe. Instead, she turned over and hid under the bed.
Just now, when I was about to open the door, I almost cut my hair. It turned out that the housekeeper had just opened the door
The old man at the door obviously didn’t believe it. He took a look into the room, cleared his throat and said, “you girls, go in and see if there is anything wrong.”
Immediately, two servant girls came in. It can be seen that the old man is also an old fox. He will not believe these things. The two maids searched in the room, went to the front of the wardrobe, and opened it all at once. Naturally, there would be nothing in it.
This move of Rong embroidery was successful. Seeing that there was no one in the closet, Xiaomei was a little ugly at the moment, and suddenly sat down on the bed: “hum, it’s just that the master doesn’t come here, and even you servants don’t look up to me. What kind of evil did I make that you bully me like this?”
Then she began to cry. For a while, the people in the house were uncomfortable. Even the old housekeeper hastily comforted him and said, “Aunt Mei, it’s not that we don’t believe you. It’s just that we have a lot of things in our house these days. As servants, we can only listen to the master’s words and have a good look, so as not to cause any trouble. Don’t you think so There’s a lot of them, my Lord. Let’s just let it go. ”
“That’s it.” Xiaomei turned her eyes: “a few days ago, Mr. Liu just wrote some poems in the pavilion outside. You took him away. But the master didn’t believe me. I’m used to it.”
The old housekeeper made up a lot of smiles and left the room. The spirit of Rong Xiu was just relaxed, but he heard the old housekeeper say in a slow voice: “Aunt Mei, you are a smart man. Don’t do something disorderly. Turn off the light and go to sleep earlier.”This sounds gloomy. No wonder Xiaomei is crying here. Her mood is so changeable. Finally, she sent the old housekeeper away, and Rongxiu put her ears on the ground again. After hearing the sound of the footsteps, she slowly climbed out.
Xiaomei blew out the candle again and took Rong Xiu to lie on the bed: “you are also a woman. I know you are very difficult to save me, but…” “Don’t say anything. I can’t help you. None of the Zhu family are good people. I’ll save you.”
Rong Xiu held out her finger and swore, “there is another thing I want to tell you. Do you know where Mr. Liu is now and where is the well you said?”
These are all urgent matters to be solved. If it is delayed until dawn, I am afraid there will be no chance.
“Mr. Liu is in the west yard. I heard that he was very ill. Maybe he was not ill at all, but was hurt by the master. The well is in the third courtyard. There is a yard full of sundries… ” Xiaomei kept on comparing.
When Rong Xiu heard this, she was stunned. This is the yard she came to. No wonder there is no one to watch. If Xiaomei didn’t see it, no one would find the place.
“I see.” Rong Xiu gently patted Xiaomei’s hand: “I want to explore the way first.”
