Chapter 331
Chapter 331: Suspicious, silenced
After crying for a while, Lin Zhaozhao almost passed away.
The grandma who was guarding Zhang Ru refused to take even a step back.
He didn't even have the intention to reach out and help her.
Seeing her crying hard, I just said something indifferent.
"The old lady has an old slave looking after her here, so the madam and the young lady can rest assured.
If the young lady is really serious, she might as well copy a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures for the old lady to eliminate disasters.
By the way, where are the weapons that the lady helped clean yesterday?
The old slave went to look for it and helped the old lady put it away.
In case the old lady wakes up and looks for it but can’t find it.”
Lin Zhaozhao came over yesterday and cried and complained, and then came again the next morning.
But this time, I didn't ask the old lady for mercy.
He just said pitifully, "I'll say goodbye now. I don't know when I can see the old lady again."
He said that he would help the old lady clean and tidy up the weapons before leaving.
The old lady took pity on her and showed her filial piety, but she didn't stop her.
After Lin Zhaozhao wiped the weapons and put them back, the old lady also took a look at the weapons.
But it didn't take long before he fell ill.
She felt something was wrong and went to see it this morning.
It was discovered that an exquisite dagger was missing from the room.
Lin Zhaozhao was shocked, and the look on his face almost broke.
But he still clasped his palms tightly and asked in confusion.
"Are grandma's weapons missing? But I wiped them and put them in order yesterday.
Could it be that if someone plays with it, it will be lost?"
Grandma glanced at Lin Zhaozhao, her fingertips slightly curled.
"I know this, so I just asked casually."
After a few words with Lin Zhaozhao, the old woman found an excuse and drove Lin Zhaozhao down the mountain.
Lin Zhaozhao looked at the dark courtyard and felt peaceful in his heart.
The old nanny was a dowry maid who never died, and she watched her father grow up, so she was quite prestigious in the Hou Mansion.
If she becomes suspicious and tells her father, things will be difficult to handle.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zhou Yixiu's voice coming from behind him.
"Zhaozhao, what are you doing standing here?"
With that said, Zhou Yixiu stepped forward.
Seeing that Lin Zhaozhao looked bad, he touched her face distressedly.
"The wind is strong in the mountains, look at you, your little face is blue and blue from the cold.
Your father is still in the palace and has not returned. Your mother is watching over here.
You go back and rest for a while, then come back when your father comes back."
Lin Zhaozhao thought for a while and nodded.
"Mom, I have to go out for something.
You should take good care of your grandma here, and remember not to let the nanny who is taking care of her take a step away.
Let’s talk about it when I come back…”
Keeping that old nanny was always a problem, and she had to find someone to solve it quickly.
Zhou Yixiu didn't know why and waited for her to come to her senses.
But he saw that Lin Zhaozhao had already gone down the mountain, and his steps were very hurried.
By the time Lin Zhaozhao made all arrangements and returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already dark.
She didn't bother to take a breath and ran up the mountain to find Zhou Yixiu.
Unexpectedly, I met Zhou Yixiu at the door who was about to go down the mountain.
Zhou Yixiu looked bad and stopped Lin Zhaozhao who was about to enter.
"Zhaozhao, don't go in.
Your father is losing his temper inside, so if you go in now, you will need a scolding."
Lin Zhaozhao took a breath and looked inside anxiously.
"No, you just let father and the old nanny stay inside?
How about that?"
If the old man tells his father about the missing weapons, his father will definitely become suspicious.
Seeing Lin Zhaozhao looking anxious, he was about to rush inside.
Zhou Yixiu noticed something was wrong and frowned to stop her.
"Previously, grandma said that she wanted to go to the temple to pray for a peace charm for your grandmother, and I agreed.
Why don't you want your father to meet your grandma when she's not here?
Zhaozhao, are you hiding something from your mother?"
The old aunt was the old lady's maid, and she watched the Marquis grow up.
His status in the Marquis's mansion was unusual, and just now the old nanny kept asking when the Marquis would come back.
She answered impatiently, fearing that Mr. Hou might not be able to come back soon.
Then grandma said, go and ask for the peace charm.
She agreed without thinking much.
By now, people should have left the Hou Mansion.
"Oh, mother, you are so awesome.
Didn't I tell you to look at her?
Where is the person? How long have you been gone? "
Knowing that the old nanny was not with her father, Lin Zhaozhao felt relieved.
But when she heard that her old grandma had left the house, she felt worried again.
Without bothering to elaborate with Zhou Yixiu, he asked about the time when the old grandma left the house.
She ran down the hill, not caring about riding in the carriage, and chased out through the back door.
—————————
At this moment, the Marquis's carriage swayed out of the city.
The old grandma did not leave the city, but hid in the dark and observed the surroundings.
After confirming that no one was following her, she walked towards Ruyi Restaurant.
When it gets dark, the roads are crowded with people.
From afar, I saw the Ruyi Restaurant filled with guests.
He glanced around and didn't see Su Jinxiu.
The old grandma calmed down and was about to step forward.
Suddenly, a dagger was pressed against the back of her heart?
Lin Zhaozhao was covered in sweat and gritted his teeth as he looked at the old grandma.
"Didn't I say that I was going to ask for a peace charm for my grandmother? Why did I come here to ask for it?
Could it be that grandma thinks that Su Jinxiu looks like a Bodhisattva?
So, come to beg her?"
Lin Zhaozhao was so angry that she chased him all the way but didn't see the Marquis's carriage.
She thought she lost the chase because she was lucky.
I actually saw the old grandma in the crowd. I was almost, just a little short of it, failing.
There were many people on the street, and no one noticed the actions of Lin Zhaozhao and the old woman.
She held the dagger and moved to the old grandma, raised her chin at the old grandma, and motioned for people to follow her.
"Let's go? Do you want me to start here?"
The old grandma caught a glimpse of the dagger in Lin Zhaozhao's sleeve and frowned.
"As expected, it's you, but she's your grandmother. Why would you do such a cruel thing?
Although the old lady was a little harsh on you, she never scolded you in the slightest.
Why do you want to murder her?"
Her suspicions this morning were now confirmed.
She originally wanted to talk to Mr. Hou about this, but learned that Mr. Hou would not come back.
It seemed like there would be a lot of trouble, so I wanted to talk to Miss Jinxiu about it under the guise of asking for a peace charm.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Lin Zhaozhao.
Lin Zhaozhao gritted his teeth and used a little force on the dagger in his hand.
"I called her grandma, but she only had Su Jinxiu in her eyes and heart.
When will you treat me like your own granddaughter? You know I don’t want to go to the border, but you won’t intercede on my behalf.
Since she is ruthless to me, don’t blame me for being unintentional..."
After saying that, Lin Zhaozhao was not polite.
With great force, he thrust the dagger into the old woman's chest.
After she succeeded, she quickly withdrew the dagger.
Using the cover of the crowd, he disappeared.
The old grandma's eyes were wide open and she didn't even have time to call for help.
His body softened and he fell to the ground.
It wasn't until the blood spread all over the place that people around realized something was wrong.
When he took a closer look, he immediately exclaimed.
"It's not good, it's not good, someone died..."
Lin Zhaozhao wiped the dagger clean, hid it in his arms and prepared to put it back.
I just got back to the room and haven't had time to change clothes yet.
The door was pushed open.
