Chapter 52 Embarrassed
Before leaving, Mrs. Chen's eyes casually glanced around the room, as if looking for someone. Until finally Mrs. Chen glanced at Mrs. Li, and finally said nothing, she hesitated to say anything and left alone.
Almost at the same time, Mrs. Li's body relaxed and she suddenly fell back on her seat. She was so surprised that Yin Niang rushed to help her. However, before her hand could touch Mr. Li, she saw that Mr. Li's right hand was tightly grasping the armrest, as if she wanted to get in.
Like this, his face was gloomy and hard to distinguish, and his tone was even more deep and serious: "Go and find out for me who went to the yard of Princess Qinghe to report the news today."
In this room, Yang Hongying and Qiu Zhi saw that under the tip from the flower girl, everything was going according to plan. As expected, they saw the eldest princess of Qinghe, Chen, entering the Yuchun Garden where Li was. They immediately no longer hesitated, turned around and headed towards
They hurried along the path in the back mountain, but what they never expected was that when they avoided the crowd and arrived sweating with curtains and hats on, they found that the back door, which had always been open, had been locked by someone.
Look at the height of the courtyard wall in front of you. There is nothing to rely on. How can the two women get out?
Thinking of this, Yang Hongying gradually realized that something was wrong, and she felt a bit ominous in her heart. Could it be that she had fallen into someone else's trap today?
The more she thought about it, the more Yang Hongying felt cold sweat dripping down her spine.
Originally, according to her plan, she had already prepared a fast horse outside the back door. Now as long as she can get out of this door, she can rush back to the Taiwei Mansion on time and have nothing to do with everything in Yuqing Temple today.
But now looking at the mottled copper lock hanging on the door bolt, she felt her heart skip a beat, and she became more and more confused. Counting the time, Mrs. Li was afraid that she would have discovered the clues by now. If she didn't do it as soon as possible,
Get away, if someone finds out, everything will be in vain today.
But if they turned around and walked through the main entrance of Yuqing Temple at this moment, they would inevitably encounter someone being searched by Li. Even the empty back entrance was not a safe place for a long time.
Does she want to sit here and wait for death?
"Madam, what should we do?"
Hearing Qiu Zhi's anxious and panicked voice, Yang Hongying couldn't help but tighten her hands.
No, absolutely not.
The next moment she seemed to think of something, Yang Hongying's eyes suddenly lit up, she gritted her teeth and said quickly: "Look for the ladder, go quickly!"
Hearing Yang Hongying's almost commanding voice, Qiu Zhi finally calmed down. The master and servant hurriedly searched around, and finally found a wooden ladder that was enough to set up on the wall of the courtyard. With Qiu Zhi's support, Yang Hongying braved the scorching sun.
, pulling on the skirt and trying to climb up, I felt that I was more embarrassed than ever at this moment.
Hearing "thump - thump -", Yang Hongying stepped on the wooden ladder that sounded squeaky and seemed to be weak. She felt that her body was soaked with sweat, but she didn't know whether it was hot or cold sweat.
At this moment, seeing herself getting closer and closer to the wall, a breeze came to her face carrying the fragrance of scorching sun and flowers. Yang Hongying seemed to have seen the dawn. She immediately gritted her teeth, tightly clasped the two ends of the wooden ladder, and went up again.
As the wooden ladder became more wobbly as she climbed higher, Yang Hongying glanced down inadvertently. When her eyes fell on the ground some distance away, she suddenly felt dizzy, which made her nervously pull the wooden ladder tighter.
Already.
Just as she stretched out her hand to climb up to the next level and stepped on the crossbar with the tip of her shoe, a voice of inquiry that sounded plain but clearly carried a bit of coldness suddenly sounded from not far away.
But it was like a blow to the head, beating her to pieces.
"If you don't go through the main entrance, what are you doing climbing the ladder here?"
Almost reflexively, Yang Hongying and Qiu Zhi both looked at the sound. When they saw Yin Niang and several maids and women standing under the shade of the tree, looking at them with cold eyes, Qiu Zhi
Zhi immediately panicked, and at the same time, Yang Hongying noticed that the ladder she was holding was shaking slightly again. In the flash of lightning, Yang Hongying's foot stepped on it and immediately stepped on the air. She could not help but make a sound of panic, and the next moment she stepped on it repeatedly.
A few steps up the ladder and he fell straight down.
"Lady——"
Amidst Qiuzhi's exclamation with a pale face, Yinniang and her group standing in the distance were also startled by this sudden scene. However, it was too late for them to pick her up. Yang Hongying seemed to be broken by someone at this moment.
The kite passed them at a very fast speed and fell heavily to the ground.
When Yin Niang and others caught up, they saw Yang Hongying falling from such a high place and had already fainted. Her originally delicate face was now pale and soaked in cold sweat without any blood, and there was no trace of blood on her forehead.
There were two scars cut out, and he looked miserable.
"Madam, madam——"
Qiu Zhi was really panicked at this moment. She never expected that such a thing would happen. When she thought about Yin Niang and her group, she felt as if she had lost her soul. She didn't know whether to be afraid or to cry.
.
Hearing Qiuzhi's trembling cry, Yin Niang was a little unresponsive. Originally, she ordered people to search everywhere in Yuqing Temple, but as soon as she arrived at the inaccessible back door, she saw this very familiar figure in front of her.
.
If she still doesn't understand who is responsible for today, I'm afraid her life will be in vain.
But no matter what, this Yang Hongying is the Taiwei's niece. If something really happened today, they would not be able to escape the blame.
So when everyone was still in panic and stunned, Yin Niang took the lead to withdraw their attention and shouted quickly: "What are you still doing? Why don't you help the person back and call the doctor?"
Hearing Yin Niang's scolding, the women with big muscles and round waists realized what they were doing, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Yang Hongying and put it on the back of one of the women, and then hurried towards the way they came from.
At this moment in Yuchun Garden, Mrs. Li was sitting there with a serious look on her face, looking at the young woman who was shaking like chaff at her feet with her head lowered and kneeling without saying a word, as if she was extremely scared.
"Tell me, who are you and why do you have the token of my Taiwei Mansion on you?"
Upon receiving Mrs. Li's gaze, the maid next to her immediately looked at the woman kneeling there and spoke sternly.
How could the woman withstand such a sudden drink in the silence? She immediately knocked her head to the ground, wishing she could lay her body on the floor tiles and trembled: "Minzu, Minnu was a flower girl at the foot of the mountain.
Today, today——"
Listening to the flower girl named Xinglan vomiting out today's events like beans from a bamboo tube, Li's eyes immediately filled with the calmness before the storm. Even though she was still sitting there, everyone could clearly feel it.
The pressure was overwhelming and the coldness was rare.
"Have you ever met the person who ordered you?"
Hearing this, the woman immediately shook her head and cried: "Today is indeed the first time I have met a folk girl. Both ladies are wearing veils. I have never seen a folk girl before. Please forgive me -"
Hearing the woman's incoherent answer, Mrs. Li frowned and glanced at the green silk skirt beside the flower girl. Who else could bring out the token and the dress from the mansion, besides the people in their mansion?
No matter what happened today, even if she dug deep into the ground, she would definitely find this person who was trying to turn the world upside down right under her nose.
Otherwise, there is no need for her to occupy the position of Taiwei's wife.
At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps was accompanied by the woman's sobs, and Yin Niang and her party also rushed back. Seeing the familiar figure lying on the back of the old woman, Mrs. Li paused at first, and the next moment she heard someone kneeling there.
The woman suddenly pointed at Qiu Zhi who came in and shouted without explanation: "It's her, it's her, the folk girls can hear her voice!"
Almost at the same time, Qiu Zhi looked at the person kneeling in front of her with a miserable face, looking stiffly at the person who was kneeling in front of her to identify her. Then she looked at the anger that Li wanted to grip into her bones. She immediately felt as if someone had sucked her soul out, and her feet went soft.
, also forgot about the others, and just slumped down like that.
Now that everything was so clear, Li felt unbearable hatred when she thought about Yang Hongying breaking her plan again.
This Yang Hongying really challenged her bottom line again and again.
But she knew that now that she was outside the house, it was not appropriate to talk about these shady matters to others, so Li finally suppressed her anger and forced herself to calm her rising and falling chest, but she still couldn't hide her anger in her words.
